so i in terms of looooking intoe side effects, they are likely to have a vaccine at the end of this yearnt: it could be deployed next year. we are talking about getting maybe the ends of vaccine samples to people around the planet. that takes mass production. are we prepared for that, equiuipped to makeke it happen quickly? >> once ththe vaccine would bece available, that t would be provn and have orgrganization -- the next big challenge would be, could we scale t that went up to the level that itit meets a allf thee demandsds? we will kekeep this one in mindd especicially in the unprecedentd time. the vaccine that is being manufactured and tested in the human trial in the u.k., t they have already quite collaborative efforts from two compmpanies. those e have started manufufactg -- if the vaccine went ththrough the clinical trial, thosose woud be sufficient to at least immunize the most vulnerable group upupfront. certainly this would be t the nt challenge once the vaccine were to become available. brent: let's hope the vast track works and everything turns out in a positive way. thank
