Reached the peak yet. What does that tell snull guest two things.

It could very well be given the number of asymptomatic carriers there are that there are far more cases that we currently have. In fact, do i believe there could be smoldering dayses of infections in communities all around the country. We jewels havent picked up on that. The second thing we hear about not reaching the peak.

We believe the health should be targeted at the people who have suffered from this coronavirus problem. The directly or indirectly. We dont think they should just throw money out of an airplane and hope some of it lands on the people who are affected. So we have
