So, in the flu models, the worst case scenario is between 1.6 million and 2.2 deaths. That`s the projection if you do nothing. So, we`ve never really done all of these things that we`re doing. We`ve put them into a model. We`ve looked at the Italy data with their self isolation, and that`s where we come up with. If we do things together well, almost perfectly, we could get in the range of 100,000 to 200,000 fatalities. We don`t even want to see that.
