Correct.

But the speed premium means you're happy to spend a bit more money, some of which you might end up not getting the advantage of because speed is the most valuable commodity at a time like this.

And it's worth remembering with this outbreak that this is already the third largest Ebola outbreak we have ever seen, but it's also the most

significant in numbers at this stage.

The two largest previous outbreaks in West Africa and the DRC at this point only had 500 cases.

As of the 27th, there were 3,262 cases and there's a case fatality rate of 44%.

Now, if we can deliver anything like 100 days on getting to a trial or indeed a

widespread rollout of a vaccine, that would be a huge success.

But remember, it took us several years to get these previous episodes under control.

And so anything that is faster than that is a win.

And every time we do this, we get faster.

Yes.

So one of them is the mRNA, again with Moderna.

That's got several advantages because the technology is fast.

You can scale it.

And we're nearly in August.
