Have moved our show outside, across from the Jacob Javits Convention center in new york city, which is a massive facility on the west side of manhattan, it has been turned into this militarized makeshift hospital to treat covid19 positive patients here in new york. The places enormous, more than 2 million square feet, the u. S. Army corps of engineers, they transform to this facility in about three days time to a hospital to facility that can manage more than 2500 beds at once. It is just extraordinary. Inside that building behind me, the number of beds are way up. If they could go up higher if necessary. But it has made it one of the largest hospitals in the entire United States. At the moment, there are 66 patients being treated inside the facility. Again, run by the u. S. Army. I want to bring in major peter kirkendall, major planner for the u. S. Army and Operations Officer for the javits center. Major pete, good afternoon, thank you so much for your time, give us a status update,
