you know, a year ago, two years ago, the answer seemed more clear and, you know, we did shut down and we did close schools and we did do all of those things, but covid hasn't gone anywhere. it's still here and it's and it seems to be here to stay, at least for the near future. i don't know that shutting down is the answer, but i do know that we, we do have other solutions that are out there. we know that vaccines work. and we know that the boosters are effective. you know, it's about people. and the people that we are seeing getting severely ill and dying, the majority of those people are not vaccinated. >> how does the current situation you're facing compare to what it was like for you to go to work two years ago?
