I thank the guests for attending the committee. I will begin with a question for Professor Giesecke and Dr. Schaffer. I gather from what they have said that they generally support a herd immunity-type approach. Could they spell out exactly what that strategy would entail for those who are over 60 years of age or are medically compromised?
Obviously, a large number of people have disabilities and other serious underlying conditions. What would Professor Giesecke do about that large part of the population?
