I think PTF is marketing COVID-19 and we can't continue like this. They should tell us the drugs they used on those that have been discharged, so that those that were infected will go for it and let's continue with our normal business. If I may ask, is COVID-19 more deadlier than Aids, Tuberculosis, Phneumonia?
