Mr. President. I want to just talk very briefly about two or three things. First the issue of testing and how that has changed the complexion of the approach well be able to take. Testing was an issue. We had many questions of testing in this room for a number of times. Now that we literally have hundreds and hundreds and thousands of tests out there there are a few things we can do with that one of the things when we make policy poll what well do with the rest of the country particularly areas that are not hot spots, we need to know what penetration is there.
