And then importantly, we can detect imprinting of the DNA that happens very early on that is quite tissue specific. So when you have a pancreas cancer, for example, you can then go back and you can say, oh, this is really... coming from the pancreas. So that allows us to do a tissue of origin estimation.

Yes, ultimately it will help us identify where the cancer is, which tissue it originates from, but really putting all those different attributes together and then training the algorithms to detect them. That is really where I think the innovation is.

So it ultimately depends a lot on the cost of the test and how many tests you have to perform. So that's a health economic question and it depends on how much payers are willing to pay. When it comes to resource restricted environments or public health system, then one would say that it complements current existing screening programs, but these are invasive They use radiology.

You have to undergo endoscopy. The uptake of these screening programmes is only about 60% overall. So using this as a complement to people who would otherwise not undergo any screening, I think that would be already a success.

We are slap bang in the middle of New Orleans. There's Bourbon Street, which many people will have heard of. It's the most famous street. Partying for bars, for restaurants, for music. And I was out here last night and it was absolutely thronged with people. And to get a sense of what it's like here in New Orleans is that's not unusual.

I mean, obviously it was incredibly busy because it was not only the Sugar Bowl college football game, but it's also New Year's Eve. But on any given night, this area is really thronged with people. It's a city where life is lived outside. You know, it was warm last night. Everybody was on the streets. The bars were all open. And there was a parade earlier in the day. There were marching bands.

There were thousands of people on the street all day long. And that continued into the night. The city is actually at almost 90% capacity. So that just gives you a sense of how busy it is. To me, so I live here, it was one of the busiest weekends I've seen since Mardi Gras. I mean, it was incredibly busy.

Yes. So this is a very contentious issue. I've spoken to some business owners in the French Quarter, and that is where the real focus of people's concerns are going to be, because it's very difficult to operate in the French Quarter. It's very old. It's a historic neighborhood. You know, it's difficult to park. It's difficult to get through there. So how...

This was allowed to happen is now where people's thoughts are going because there are bollards, but they're very rarely up. I walk down this street quite often and there were some bollards further up the street that were kind of up, but that wasn't really near the busy streets. So it wasn't necessarily very effective.
