But in other jurisdictions, like everybody that’s not New Zealand, there are some trade-offs to be made. So people had to give up some personal liberties in order to keep the virus at bay. So I think it depends on how resilient your infrastructure was. Taiwan fared pretty badly during SARS, actually the worst during SARS outbreak. Because of that, and thanks to the investment in resilience infrastructure, we have the kind of infrastructure for COVID because it’s like SARS coming again. And so we don’t have to make that trade-off anymore.
