Thank you, Chair.
My questions will be for Dr. Evans. Thank you so much for being here today.
It's really serendipitous that you are here today. There's a story in The New York Times, which I'm sure you read this morning, that is getting a lot of attention. The headline reads, “Reaching ‘Herd Immunity’ Is Unlikely in the U.S., Experts Now Believe”. In it, there's a quote from an evolutionary biologist at Emory University in Atlanta. He said, “The virus is unlikely to go away...but we want to do all we can to check that it’s likely to become a mild infection.”
Based on your work to date, would this statement be accurate in the Canadian context?
