And 60 is significantly lower than 50, 70 is significantly lower than 60.

Well, I think what we need to think about here is taking the Canadian view, which is getting first doses into as many people as possible and worrying a little bit later about the second dose.
So rather than being obsessed with the second dose of Pfizer being three weeks, maybe you'd have tolerance for it being six or eight weeks.
The British have been doing it at twelve weeks with Pfizer and
really getting first doses into be even though we've said that second doses are really important.
You can only get second doses into people who've had a first dose.
So should we just have just go hell for leather on first doses and get it out there and just get every dose we've got out into people and then start pushing through the second doses and do what Canada's done.
Just get to very high levels of first doses very quickly.

And and and fair to be fair, the the the premier of New South Wales was saying that staffing changes, situation changes, and they've got to get a there just should be a rigid rule.
You don't get to do the driving unless you're immunized and know how to protect yourself.
