He has the latest for us will good morning. Good morning. Marty its a lot like firing up that battle ship because we are in a war right now governor gavin, newsome is paying the owner of seton Medical Center 5 million to started up its a 3 month lease. But is very important because it offers beds, 200 beds for covid 19 patients right now he fully staffed with doctors and nurses and equipment to make sure that the staff as well as the patients are safe. He also did the same thing for a hospital near the los angeles area, but its making a small dent because you have to consider he is looking for thousands of beds approximately 50,000 beds to go and that is despite trying to flatten the curve by putting shelter in place. The governor realizes that things are probably going to get a lot worse before they get better so its a race against time. Races and lets face it is mardi its a numbers game right he wants to get as many beds as he possibly can because hes speaking worstcase scenario. Thats one thing. Theres also masks on his mind. We have now secured literally 100 million new and 95 masks which is not in significant, but again still requires us to secure and support additional procurement efforts. But thats good news and for those Health Care Leaders that are demanding more and deserve more i want them to know when those get off the docks when they get through the airport in customs were going to get them out as quickly as we humanly possibly those procurements are not just limited to 95 masks, those could coveralls gallons. And shields and the like. 50,000 beds that he still wants to get his hands on and obviously thats not going to happen all together with the hospitals. Hes hoping that the hospital within their own system could come up with about 30,000 beds and that leaves about 20,000 up to him and the state to find out. Unfortunately if they have positive test some of those patients will have to be treated at fair grounds. Possibly dormitories that have been closed down turn those dorm rooms into hospital rooms as well and hes asking fema for emergency trailers. Its just a race against time anything helps in this particular case this is a 3 month lease that he worked out with the owner seat Medical Center and obviously that probably can be extended because this is not going anywhere anytime soon. The desperate times depps desperate measures, thanks a lot will tran reporting for us live from daly city.
