   And I wanted to just start -- I know this may be a loaded question, but is there anything from that testimony that you would like to, off the bat, clarify or generally -- and we may talk about that today, but I just wanted to see if there was any portions of that testimony that you wanted to clarify or provide any DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com statements on.

   Nothing comes to mind, but if you have questions on that testimony I'll be glad to give you my current thinking.

   A notice went up on ProMed about a new respiratory infection in Wuhan on December 31st, and I immediately got phone calls from several collaborators who were letting me know about it. I didn't find out it was a coronavirus until about the 4th of January, when a colleague of mine at the University of Virginia asked me to participate in a phone call with some Chinese researchers to try to get them in contact with Gilead to set up trials with remdisivir.

   And you said that was University of Virginia?

   University of Virginia.
