Last question is, if you could give someone advice about staying healthy in the winter, what would you tell them? Now drawing from your own experiences. So I would suggest people to be careful for their health. Winter means people like to enjoy the fires people like to enjoy the heaters that definitely brings the hazard like a possibility of indoor fires that people should be really careful of because of the dryness people do usually get the dry eyes dry nose specifically it will be more concern for the families with the children so they do need to have a room humidifier so that will be more important for them. So also people do need to have supplementation for vitamin D, calcium, because of the less exposure to the sunlight, people need to focus for the supplements and diet as well. And since winter people do not prefer more physical activities, that could bring problem for the with less physical activity. So people need to focus on what's possible for them, like indoor physical activities or stretches. The indoor gathering can be a problem when one people is having respiratory diseases like flu. So that could be transferred to other people. So people need to be really careful in preventing the transmission of diseases as well. So that would be the key things for the winter, I guess. And very, very important one indeed. To conclude this section and this very informative and insightful interview session, my last question is what could healthcare providers do differently to better support people during the winter? Now think about preparation, communication or types of care. I think the more important thing would be like awareness and education reaching to the people so that there could be a breeze between the community or the provider and the community people, so the awareness regarding our health, promotion of our health, remaining healthy, those sort of things needed to reach to the community people. So the provider should focus on getting the better channel of communication to reach to those people. And the community is saying the provider has a better catchment area, so the forecasting of possible health hazard during the winter, if those information or messages can be conveyed directly and promptly to the community people, that could be very helpful. So bridging those gaps would be necessary for the service provider, I guess. I did not hear your voice. I'm sorry. That's an excellent point to conclude our conversation.
