One thing we're seeing is that as we start to get to what is hopefully the other side of the most acute crisis of the pandemic, the impact on the health care system will continue to be with us for quite a long time. The surge of people coming into the system is going to be high at first, and then the backlog is going to take many months to work through. That's what we're seeing. I think the extra needs that people have from a health care point of view and the extra support that health charities give will be with us for as long as it takes for the health care system to recover.
To add on to what Doug said previously, we see this as having a very long-term impact, not only because of the impact to the economy in the general sense that people will have less to give, but also because social distancing has such a dramatic impact on our fundraising. We have to assume that the events, the volunteers and the different kinds of grassroots efforts are going to be impacted for as long as there is social distancing.
As for the timeline, social distancing is going to be with us for a long time, and there may be a resurgence of COVID and new measures put in place again. This is what creates the real uncertainty for the charitable sector, as it really is not able to predict how long it has to prepare for lower donations. This is why we have to make pretty dramatic decisions right away to try to make sure that we survive. Charities generally don't have reserves to fall back on and don't take out loans to cover downturns. It's just not possible for us to operate that way.
