It definitely impacts what we are trying to do. The end of the public health emergency rescinds some of the authorities for us to collect data from states and localities. It’s going to be a persistent, challenging issue. There are lots of concerns about data privacy, about making sure that data are used appropriately. Those are all valid concerns and we need to be very cognizant of them. Also, there are states’ rights issues.

But we are asking now for the full year-on-year budget of $100 million in 2024. We need to get our full budget so we can realize our full potential. I think within my lifetime we are going to face another pandemic of similar or worse magnitude than COVID-19. I’m concerned about not being ready to respond as effectively as we can.
