We spoke to people in Canada there they've joined in as well and obviously the SARS epidemic.

And one of my colleagues during the SARS epidemic had to do exactly what you've said.

Mm, charged with manslaughter because he made a decision, this one, this one.

There was no classic uni to tell you how do you pick A or B.

We're not there yet in Australia.

I think the key thing is we don't panic, we prepare for the uh worst, but we hope for the best.

And that's hopefully what we're doing here.

But we do need to take this as a global condition and we need to look at it in a global nature.
