To be able to protect health care workers, but also to know who's coming in to the hospital, whether they're covered positive or not and you know we wanna continue to innovate in that regard got some other updates on that in a minute I think it's you know good to look at kind of where Florida is in this situation. So if you look at our cases, you know one of the ways I think it's important to look at how new cases come in. you know, for example, yesterday, there was 912 new Florida cases. you go back on. April fourteenth There was only 601 and so a lot of people say well, man the fourteenth was better than the 20 -first. actually the 20 -first was one of our best testing days yet because if you go on the fourteenth, they had 601 new cases out of only 70 - 300 tests. yesterday, there was 912 cases that a 14000 test and so that is really as you see kind of April third was the most you know It down, but really, when are these test results coming in what's the denominator and particularly one of the things we're looking at is which percent positive are you seeing and we're seeing a decline even in places like Miami Dade, which had had in 18 to 20 percent positive rate. We're now seeing the new test results to come in. so we did was we looked at all the different States. These are the top 10 testing States just raw numbers and then we can pay. The number of positives and then looked at who had the the lowest percentage in terms of positives. So if you look in New York, obviously they've tested more than anyone else, they had all the resources there. you know they're that's actually much better than where they were. They're down at 30 - nine up at 30 -, nine percent had been higher. California. we go back and forth with them in total test. They passed us yesterday. hopefully we'll get a good dump today so they're a little bit under 12 percent Florida of all the tab. Nine point, nine percent positive. All the rest are negative and remember as we started this, the vast vast majority of people who tested where people who were at risk had had significant symptoms and so even with the symptoms you still had the vast majority of people test negative. But then you look at some of the other States you know, New Jersey you know they have. they're almost 50 percent or testing positive there. and then you look down the line States like Massachusetts Pennsylvania. You know they're in the 20 to 20. Percent range the only state that had a lower positive rate than Florida out of the top 10 testing States. was the state of Washington and so you know you can look at the total number of positive trend, which is I think is good, but it's much better to look at this because I think this is really showing what the trend is and I think that that's a that's a good trend. I think it's a positive trend. it's also important to put these numbers in context. It's like you know you you hear this. Florida did this that well? What does that mean what's the basis of comparison and the best way to compare? What's going on in Florida with other with other States is to have a baseline and the best baseline for these types of statistics is to look at you know how many people test positive or hospitalized how many fatalities per 100000 of each population cuz we obviously have different populations and you wanna do that in a way that makes it fair. I mean there's some States that are not even a tenth of Florida size. so if you look at kind of on the level. Playing field a hundred thousand hospitalizations per 100000 you can look at States like New York and New Jersey have over 80 percent or excuse me over 80 people per 100000 that are currently in the hospital. Then you look at Massachusetts and Connecticut there in the fifties. Michigan has 30 - three point six hospitalizations per 100000. Florida is about 10 point, three currently hospitalized per 100000. I spoke yesterday about we had roughly 20 - 200 people statewide As of last night, we actually were below 700 in the ICU, which statewide, which is lower than I think it's been in certainly a week probably two weeks which you know that's a decline, which which is a good thing and I did mention you know they were predictions at this. We have 460 - 5000 hospitalized got about 20 - 200 and as you see per 100000 dramatically less than some of the other States and so I think that that's that's a sign of progress and then also. Look, we don't want people to get infected but if you get infected, I think we're seeing with the serologist studies, particularly people under 50 that are healthy. Some people don't even develop symptoms. Many people don't even know they had it but if you do get it and you know so we wanna we don't want you to get infected. If you do we don't want you in the hospital. so hopefully it's mild. Hopefully you don't know if you end up in the hospital, we definitely don't wanna see in the ICU because you go to the hospital. you can get stabilized and then you can go home. Most people are. you know it's worth the ICU where people are in danger of being put on a ventilator and then obviously you know much more likely to suffer a fatality once it gets to that point and so right now in Florida if you look per 100000, we got about three point two people per 100000 that are that are in the ICU. you know you can look at some of the other States. you know New York's 20 - five New Jersey 20 - one Massachusetts 15, Michigan 13. our ICU population is I think probably outright lower than a lot of those States, which are small lot smaller than us but certainly per 100000 much different there and I think looking at that the hospitalizations and you talk about flattening curve the health care system holding up. I mean that's been the key metric. we've looked at, but then within that, you know what's the ICU population? are you adding, Are you having fewer people in the ICU and for us we have seen a decline. it's been flat or decline a little so so we hope it keeps continues going in a in a good direction and then you can do the same thing with the fatalities per 100000. So you know New York obviously has been hit the hardest. you know they have a hundred and one fatalities per 100000, New Jersey 50 - three point five Connecticut 30 - nine point, nine, Massachusetts 20, - eight point Five Michigan, 20 - Seven, You know, Florida is much lower at four fatalities per 100000 and. I think part of that is because we've had a lot of Really done a good job and and really help them off a lot of people and and I wanna thank them for all of their work. I think it's also important to look around the state and and point out some of the areas that I think of handled this very well you know. so if you look at like Hillsborough County, you know you saw testing ramped up. They started to get some cases you know, but that's been a pretty good downward trend for Hillsborough County. I mean this is you know they had six cases yesterday. I mean this is a County that has won. Point four million people when they had 12 cases the day before that, at a one point four million people in fact, as of last night, the number of people currently hospitalized for Covered 19 in Hillsborough County again. One point four million people 30 - four hospitalizations. you know you get 30 - four hospitalizations in a couple of blocks in Brooklyn, you know every day. so I think that if you look at the Tampa Bay, I think Pinellas is a similar story and then I think some of the. Areas in there you know, I think the people that have really done a good job and you know, I think that that's really good and they're gonna have Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski coming in for the Bucks. so hopefully everyone will be will be happy but this is really I think a good picture Orange County same thing. I think Orange County again what do they have one point 21 point four million people in that County. Obviously they're part of a larger metro area. you know they they started. We started ramping up the testing you see the peak and then it's been a downward trend and if you think about it. Florida as a whole, we're one of the most traveled States in the country. International National you name it Orange County with the theme parks. I mean, just think of how many people came through there January February beginning of March and I think as we're seeing with the serologist studies in California that this thing was here earlier than we thought so you had all those people from all over the world going and yet you're here in a situation where you know you're down to two. Four cases yesterday, you had 13 the day before and then the 20 - 320 - three the days before that Orange County right now has 70 - five total covered 19 hospitalizations again. I think most people looked at that and said man there's people everywhere from all over the world. They're gonna bring everything here so I think that that Central Florida Orange County, I think that they've done a really good job and and I'm happy to see the progress that's been made I think it's done very well as well. You know you look you saw the run up and then you kinda see going down. You know they did have the 40 - one, but that a lot of that you just said, there's one little thing like that. you gotta look how many test results came in. Sometimes these test results are just coming in in batches but I think the trend has been very very good and you know I was really disappointed to see you know a lot of folks in the asset corridor taking potshots at Jacksonville. You know a few days ago look you can create. Size who you want to but if you're gonna criticize somebody on the coveted 19 response, you know you should probably check the facts before you do it so you had some of these publications that were they were really upset about what was going on there. So I looked and said, Okay. Well, let's look at how Duval County would compare to some of those folks. So you take a look at DC up through New York and Massachusetts had again. this is putting everyone on the same plane Hospital hospital. Per 100000, so it's controlling for the differences in population, and of course we've seen the new New Jersey in New York numbers Very high DC 50 - seven per 100000, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Duval County has six point nine currently hospitalized per 100000, so they've done a great job at flattening the curve. They've done a great job at keeping folks out of the hospital, particularly the vulnerable and I think that they deserve credit and I think the Criticizing them don't have a lot of leg to stand on when you're throwing pot shots at a County that has better numbers in you and it's not just the hospitalizations you look at the fatalities per 100000 again. Similar story, New York as we know, a hundred and one per hundred thousand, New Jersey 50 - three Connecticut 30 - nine, Massachusetts 20, - eight DC 15 point nine Duval one point eight, so even the one of the lower Times What Jacksonville has so it's a little odd that they would be you know training fire on the people of Jacksonville with numbers like that and again, this is an apples to apples comparison where you have it put on a plane of per 100000, so I my hats off to Mayor Curry my hats off to the people of of Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. for doing a great job and for those who try to say your moron's I would take you over to the folks who are criticizing you any day of the week and twice on Sunday long. Care facilities we've talked about this from the very beginning and we're gonna continue to really focus on beefing up the response so right at the beginning the way I was looking at it was this was a novel virus. We didn't necessarily know everything about it but in you know you had information coming out of China. you know there's some in the media who print that, as fact, which I think is just ridiculous, so I never believed anything coming out of China and I don't believe anything coming out of China, but I did believe in. It was credible what was coming out of South Korea and so as you looked at what was coming out of South Korea, it was pretty clear that the fatalities were so disproportionately amongst people who were elderly and particularly people that have underlying medical conditions and so our strategy from the beginning was you know, let's protect the people who are most vulnerable because that's really where the damage is being done by this virus. so we required staff to be screened at all Long-term care. Facilities very early on suspended visitation to those facilities that's not an easy thing to do because these are folks who that some of the joy in life is to be able to have visitors but we felt that it was necessary for safety given we didn't know you know how this virus was necessarily being spread throughout the community whether there was spread in different areas or not and so we aired on the side of safety. We also developed A hundred and 20 ambulance assessment teams to deploy pre-empted. Measures to prevent the introduction of Covid-, 19 and long-term care facilities, these teams completed assessments at 30 - eight hundred 70 - four long-term care facilities to determine immediate unmet needs and promote appropriate infection control policies and they developed 20 - five dedicated ambulance assessment teams to provide continued support and testing to highly impacted counties and then, of course the Department of Health Support teams to immediately respond to Covered 19 positive long-term care facilities to augment clinical patient care and trained staff on infection best control practices. These teams have completed more than a hundred and 80 - nine missions and they we've also deployed 13 veterans Affairs clinical support teams for the nursing homes, which is a very very important to many Floridians, of course for the veterans nursing homes. What we started to see is if you if you followed You did good when you didn't when you let sick people come in you had outbreaks, but then you started to see folks even if they were wearing the PPE and we also issued a directive that all staff that work with residents in these facilities needed to wear a mask and we've deployed a lot of a lot of stuff there which I'll go go in a minute so so protect yourself screen the the staff from coming in not allow visitors, but some of the staff were not symptomatic and then they would spread it to the. So you had an outbreak and Swanee County where you had 3040 staff members get infected that obviously really threatens the residents and so we've deployed the National Guard as I've mentioned to do spot testing to try to identify any clusters and then contain that before you have a major outbreak, they visited more than 20 locations and tested more than 30 - 400 residents in staff and then in terms of the supplies for just for long-term care facilities, not even including everything we've done. For hospitals nearly seven million Mass distributed nearly one million gloves more than 500000 face shields hundred and 60000 gowns and that's a lot of supplies. a lot of PPE, but that's where it is most needed and the hospitals we've sent a lot too too, But I've had doctors in the hospitals. tell me look we're gonna need it, but if you can give it to the staff there prevent outbreaks, then that's gonna make it less likely. We're gonna have a big surge here at the hospital. so I think that that's a real front line of defense and then has made on. Visits over 1300 facilities since this all began so this has been a huge priority for us and I don't see that changing you know, regardless of how how this evolves going forward. We're gonna have to continue to do that and and we're committed to do it if you look at the testing we are now at 280 - 9000 individuals one for every 70 - nine one for every 70 - four people in South Florida. We're about one. I think in my, I mean you look at Miami. There's been a lot of testing there. We've increased the testing in Palm Beach with our two sites that have been operating now, one of them for a few weeks, the other maybe for two weeks down in near the Boca area and what you're seeing is as you're having more testing the positive rate in Palm Beach County is starting to go down, which is a very very good thing. so we need though to make sure that we continue to have testing capacity. so I mentioned yesterday that we were working with some of the high-rate put labs to have agreements to be able to increase. Lab capacity State of Florida We can do 900 samples total at our three labs which is helpful but in a state of 20 - one and a half million people, particularly if people are going to work and the employee employers want people to be tested, You're gonna need to have more than that. so we have two contracts in place with two new labs that will increase our lab capacity by 1818 thousand samples per day. now, we're hoping we're told Four hour turnaround, but I've learned in this process that we need to do as good as we can. So let me say we think probably 20 - four to 40 - eight hours, but that's a lot better than we've been getting from Quest and lab core. so we're gonna work on that. This is just one piece. we're working on doing some other things but these these tests that these labs will primarily be where we send our samples that we collect in the long-term care and assisted living facilities and at the community-based walk up sites and so that is kind of the tip of the sphere. We've got a place Immediately and then hopefully get the results as soon as possible and we are ramping up efforts on both walk-in sites and the nursing homes. so I have mentioned our National guard strike teams they have rostered so initially they did 10 teams for people each and they would go to a bunch of facilities, do the testing and then go on to the next one We've now expanded that to 50 National Guard testing teams for guardsmen each and then we also have a Florida. Of health specialist added to each team so those teams have already tested 40 -, 140 - five individuals in 20 - two different facilities, but now that we've ramped up to having 50 teams, you're gonna start to see that number expand as well. now that we have these contracts in place. the samples are collected. They're gonna be sent and hopefully turned around very soon. We also open the first walk up sites in Broward County last With UFC Shans, they went to a housing project public housing in Jacksonville. we're trying to bring testing to people that may not have had access to it and that was successful. so we wanted to expand that concept so Indiana the walk-up facilities we are the walk-up sites we've already done 1590 - nine individuals and because it's been well received in successful. We're gonna expand that effort and we're now supporting new community Walkup testing sites throughout the One side in Palm Beach County one in Miami Dade County two in Hillsborough County, one in Duval County, one in Leon and then a Mobile test site in Orange County that has five different locations picked out and they'll rotate amongst those locations and then as I mentioned yesterday, we're still hoping to get the antibody test in this week we've been waiting for this. We've been urging and so we'll say man it's Wednesday they haven't come yet. But as soon as we get that I think we're gonna move to deploy those The University of Miami is doing important work if you look what happened in Santa Clara County in California, they did the antibody test they the Stanford estimated between 50 and 80 times more people had the antibodies and had tested positive in Santa Clara and which maybe it was there longer. Obviously the the hospitalization of fatality rate would be much lower, which would be which would be a good thing, but they then went back and just tested someone who I think passed away at the. January beginning of February and they tested positive, they did an autopsy and said they didn't think that that had been there and you figure if you have a fatality in early early February, the infection would have happened had to have happened seven to 14 days before that. so we're getting more information, but I think the antibody is kinda helping us go to see. but if you think about it, it makes sense If this thing was in China in November, there's just no way that it wouldn't have gotten to certain parts of the United States, California being won Florida, potentially being another, so I really wanna go look at the antibodies and see how many people in the. Florida have that because I think it's really really important for what we're trying to do overall. we're now up to 20 - 5210 screenings of people from leaving high impact areas such as New York City and you know from March 20, -third to April 20, -first they're there had been almost 4000 flights planned from New York City in the surrounding areas to Florida, they've only done 20 - 900 flights, not all Which is good and so we've been screening everyone that's been coming in for that and and we're gonna continue to do that. as this thing unfolds, you know how other States are doing it. We wanna look and you know we wanna make sure we're protecting Floridians so we'll keep doing that and and I think it has been successful and I think it quite frankly is probably you know you know reduced infections of otherwise would happen. The New York City area is the plurality of the non-reserved cases that we've had over the last several weeks. That's that's something that we've got to continue to keep an eye on for the latest updates on our effort, please text, FL Covered 19 to eight eight eight 777 again, FL Covered 19 eight eight eight 777, and with that I'll take some questions. Yeah. Come on news in Miami this morning was told that the largest nursing home in Palm Beach County was sending test First, Alabama and Michigan taking 1012 days to get results. Does that make sense? Is there a reason for that so that when those were not part of anything we were doing right now? Okay. Yeah. I don't know we'll have to look into. No, it was so right we want quick. That's why we did these contracts. That's why I promote. That's why I'm on the phone with the Abbott Labs CEO those rapid tests, hospitals and nursing homes. I mean if we can get that so we're still trying to do that. We're expanding the lab capacity because if you can go in with the nursing homes and you can do that if you get 20 - four to 40 - eight hours, that's a heck of a lot better than that. But yeah, that's a big problem. Another thing and I gotta give Secretary Mayhew credit as you're starting to What's happened in these facilities some of the States when a resident would go to the hospital and test covid- 19. Their policy was to put them back in the nursing home. Well somebody's nursing homes are not set up to be able with the airflow and everything and so that contributed what what Secretary May he would do is if someone was caused a positive. she worked with those hospitals and say you cannot put them back in that environment if they don't have The ability to make sure that that doesn't spread because not a lot of these facilities, they don't have the right air control the air pressure. There's a whole bunch of things that goes into it and so not all the hospitals necessarily wanted to do that. But that was the right thing to do because you put them back in there, then it can spread but having a rapid test if someone in a nursing home has symptoms, they go if you test them and they test negative well, then you can put them back but if they're positive, you know right away and you know they need to sell to be isolated and then you can go back to the nursing home and start testing some of those folks in the hospitals Asking to help us with this and a lot of them are I mean the Cleveland Clinic on South Florida's doing it. I know Tampa General is helping and the idea is is I think if you talked a lot of the people in the hospitals you know just seeing a general surge from the general population into the hospitals. I don't think people are thinking that that's something that that we're gonna necessarily see given the trend, but there is a concern if you have a big outbreak in a nursing home, you can end up with 30 patients. Just like that and so that's why it's really really significant. Yes sir. So it sounds like you're really making a cage to reopen is that what you're doing and what risk can be faced and what responsible well with with this update. It's not really a tied to that. I think it's just tied to okay, you know if someone says Florida had 500 new cases. What does that mean you know? what what's the context for that? And I think it's important to provide that context to try to see you know, are we going in a good direction? as I said yesterday, when Mike asked, I mean, I'm not setting any arbitrary. Time-table is for anything but at the same time if we don't believe that the hospitals are gonna be overrun if we believe that that the public is going to want to continue to see social distancing, maybe not having people not be allowed to work if they're in certain things. you know you know, there's obviously gotta be a path forward, but that is that is something that that we're gonna do very judiciously. There's a whole host of things to think about with this and what I've what I've told the task force is you know as we got into this, there's. There's all kind of things of like this is just kinda how it is even though we've never really dealt with the pandemic in this way before certainly in modern American history. It's like okay, there's essential businesses non essential this that and to me that distinction is not necessarily that useful. what I say is what's low risk. I mean, who's to say something is not essential. Someone's job depends on that and you say it's not essential. I guarantee it's essential to them. I guarantee you that getting that paycheck is important to them. so what can you do? That would be low risk and I think that's really the prison to think about it. and so there's a whole host of different things. I mean people talk about you know, can I can a hairdresser cut hair again? Well, we're talking a medical people if you have if you have a mask on and you have gloves is that is that high risk or is that low risk and if it's low risk, then that's good to know and then that informs the judgement going forward. are there you know other things that would be that would be more risky and because there's things that are quote essential that are somewhat risky and I know our grocery source. Publics have done a really good job of this, but you look around the country. Yeah, you're seeing bigger crowds at some of these grocery stores, Then you definitely would under normal circumstances and so you know I'm thinking Okay. How how does that work? Is there things you can do that would actually liberalize a little bit, but maybe drive fewer contacts because you'd be reduced relieving pressure from one area. So there's a lot that's going into it. a lot that that people are thinking about and I really appreciate a lot of the the comments that we've followed. Many or any direct from that's not true. We've got a lot of doctors where we we've got a bunch of them. We're gonna be putting out everybody we've got people in the hospital people that are running hospitals. We've got line physicians from different parts of the state and don't forget. I have a Department of health here so it's not like I don't have access to that. So no we we absolutely are gonna be consulting other questions with the technical difficulties in the agricultural task force today. Do you see yourself maybe reconsidering the deadline for recommendations so here? here's the thing on that we I'll have my staff, but but they are actually investigating whether that was it would didn't just happen. There was something that caused that and it may have been intentional and so we're we're looking into that. There's a new contract, It sounds like that would almost double the state's capacity and daily tests. Turnarounds would you imagine to also see a spike in positive cases? One that's rolled out and it shouldn't be something people taking the consideration he could. I mean I think generally speaking if you test a lot more, you will find more positive but I think looking at the rate of positive versus negative is is is very useful. So as I mentioned, you know we had the day and April 14. 600 cases only, but she only had six 6000 7000 tests whereas yesterday 912, which had 14000 tests and so the ratio is better there but yeah, I think that you see that. but one thing I will say is and this is another good sign. I mean you know we've had different parts some of those parts of the state like Duval, where you've seen them do a good job. You know you don't have massive people beating down the doors for the test, and I think that means probably people don't have as many symptoms. That's a. That's a good sign, and that's something that that we would wanna continue so but we're working on so with that capacity is good and we're gonna have to have a lab based PCR component to this, but I really and I talked to that. but Labs CEO I mean this this test is like you know everybody wants it and so the hospitals are getting 1500 to 2000 a week, but I think they're going a lot through that with their staff, the nurses doctors and then the incoming patients and so how can. I do think they are also using it in the nursing homes. If they get a call out there, they're doing it, which gives you a quick result and it's very good. What happened with that call so you just talk to my folks are they just told me cuz I was like wondering like what is going on and it was not they don't think it was just something that was just a snap food. They think it may have been something that was caused a lot about how bad and after China was then you've been kinda quiet today. Missouri became the first state in China say you need to pay for what you've done to us. Are you considering that so I just just be clear. We've got a lot on our plate. I have not forgotten about China in fact, I don't know some of you guys may wanna look this up, but there was a Chinese Communist Party funded think tank that did a report in February and they analyzed all the governors in the United States who was hard line who was friendly and who was unknown and out of there were five governors that were hard line against China. Where do you think I was hard line against China because I've been supportive of Taiwan and I understand what the Chinese Communist Party is all about. So yes I. Saw that Missouri lawsuit I wanna see Florida can can be involved in that, but what I think we also need to do is for gosh sakes if you have life saving equipment that is being manufactured, do not manufactured in China anymore. We need to bring this stuff back to the United States and Florida would be a great place to do it so any pharmaceutical company any medical equipment company If you want a good business friendly environment, come talk to me, we'll work something out you know Japan is actually paying companies to. Located at a China and I can tell you in most of my career, I probably would have never thought that that would be so I would never be entertained that but the same time it's like you see what a disaster this is caused and it is because of their malevolence who believes the numbers out of China. I mean, give me a break and so they had opportunities to deal with this. they didn't do it. They covered it up in this world Health Organization. I think the President is right on that. I mean they were basically parading. China talking points the World Health Organization in January after we saw what was going on, he said. there was no evidence that the Corona virus was transmitted able person to person that was in January. They said that and so I think China has been a real negative force. I understand people thought 2030 40 years ago that if if China liberalized, if you had more of a market signals in the economy that freedom would follow, but I think we've seen that. Not happened at all, it's an authoritarian country and and I think it's gonna be a real problem. so we're gonna look at that lawsuit. I also told incoming Speaker Sprouse is there anything we can do with the state's investment to to divest that a China and I don't know what the options would be if we invest in companies that probably have operations all over the world so that may be difficult, but are there ways that we can at least put our foot a flag in the ground, you know when people boycott. Israel You saw what happened with the Airbnb and B. We put them on the list and and that was a big deal. So are there other ways we can do that with China. I hope there are, but I do think you will see in this next legislative session so some legislation to hold China accountable. Yes, sir. I do have a question. There's some research out there that don't feel comfortable enough to travel until maybe six months or more to the state of Florida. I'm wondering when you think the state needs to start encouraging. Tourism to return and he was large numbers well, so I think it's I I think it's a great concern because so much attention is based as is being paid to oh well, the governor of Colorado announced this open the governor of Georgia this or that yeah, you can announce those things, but are people gonna have confidence in and coming out or not, and that's really gonna depend on how all these different industry the groups in these various industries and businesses respond, I have been very impressed with how deeply. Thought about these things in terms of safety and I think you're gonna see a lot done and it's interesting. Disney was criticized for staying open for that final weekend when they announced their clothes and they all these people there and they just kept it open, people said. Oh, no. but they were doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes that they weren't giving credit for and I don't think you can tie a major outbreak from the people there at least that I'm aware of and so certainly I think they did things that really were were effective but I think we're gonna need to see that with. Parks hotels the one thing I think in terms of Florida where we're good positioned and and I know that there was disagreement on some quarters of the media, but you know this is this is a virus that is most transmissible when you're in very close contact with someone repeated contact usually an enclosed environment. So that's why you see the majority of the transmissions are inside the home where people pass it along to their family members, other high-risk environments or things like the New York City. Where they're packed in there like sardines and you really have nowhere to go. I think a lot of the things we offer, you know it's more of the outdoors in the sunshine and and I think that that's just a better environment to to be in you're starting to see they they did a study out of and again this is out of China, but I don't think there was necessarily a reason to doubt this they looked at all the transmissions majority were in the household. The others were in public transportation, some in the workplace and there was like. Two transmissions that were documented you know outdoors unless you have like a massive crowd. you know some of the stuff that we offer, you know our parks. you know beaches all that stuff. I think people are gonna view that as as as positive, but you're gonna have to do things to instill public confidence in that and I know people are working on it having a good testing operator in place. If people have confidence in that that's gonna go a long way, but then also the antibody results could potentially. Instill a lot of confidence, I mean, if if we really have a lot of people that have antibodies compared to who's tested positive, then that's something that I think people wanna know and I think that that would inform them about you know how you know you know how this virus actually operates. Alright. We got one more yes sir with the Friday deadline for the short term finding some task force two days left. it sounds like a small businesses are really pushing for a more switch real thing, but they also want a stir. Instead of guidelines and is two days now enough time to really get those guidelines well, I think I think I think it will be don't understand they're gonna give me recommendations. We're gonna be consulting. We do have medical folks that will talk that we wanna have them offer some some insight on and I also understand so, for example, you know, I've told my folks we need to get the doctors to talk with some of the licensing boards like Cosmetology Barber and all the stuff to figure out. Okay. What's the contact? How can you reduce the the contacts and I think there's a path forward for a lot of this stuff, but you gotta be smart about it and you gotta do it intelligently. So we hope to get that but look at the end of the day. you know we're gonna work through the weekend like we have for the last two months, but we'll work through the weekend and so if they're still working it get it to us. then we'll be able to be in a position where we'll be able to look at it as they're doing this stuff. We're doing stuff parallel as well with just consulting with people particularly on the medical. Which is very very important, so I think we're gonna have a a lot of great ideas and like I said, I've been really impressed with the ideas that we've been getting so far this this week. so so thank you guys. We'll have another update tomorrow. Thank you.
