That never works.
Why would it work for this?
That is the understatement of the year, correct?
Yes.
Well, I I can start a little bit with this in that um so this actually relates to what you just asked, Eric, to start with is that if we don't get the definitions right, then actually understanding prevalence rates and incidence rates are actually very hard.
And in the study that I conducted in 2012, um, the prevalence that we saw amongst people over age of 60 was a prevalence rate of 43% of people feeling sometimes lonely.
