Yellow. The way dph has been approaching it in the past when weve been reopening because our numbers looked good is were being more conservative and instead of opening everything in the yellow, we were beginning to open everything all the way up to the orange for now.

So, your question about if we get moved back to if the state moves us back to orange at some point in time, does that mean that San Francisco is going to move to red, right. So basically only allow for purple and red so one tier off. I dont believe thats going to be the direction that were going to go. So were not going to be as blunt as that. Because remember, when we started to
