and the mayo clinic and the cdc test in their local testing network. so we re going to now do many, many more testing than we ve done. with regard to the vaccines, we have to get more vaccines out in the community and it was 150,000 that were put out there with another 150,000 and it probably is getting distributed and hopefully by the time we get to the end of july we get up to 700 or more thousand vaccines out there for people because you want to protect the people at risk. not only the people who might have had an exposure that they know of, but also people by the virtue that they re in a risk situation that they need to get vaccinated. we have to make those vaccines quite available to them and i hope that s what we re going to be seeing in the next few weeks. dr. anthony fauci, thank you so much for that and it is important to hear and maintain
