Even the professionals saying, no, its too early to do that, we were very, very early with respect to china. We would have a whole different situation in this country if we didnt do that. I would rate it very, very i would rate ourselves and the professionals, i think the professionals have done a fantastic job. As far as the testing, you heard the admiral.

Chemicals come from china. I cant make the vials fast enough. I cant make the swabs fast enough.

Once you take the test, theres a whole second function that were not talking about, which is you take the test tracing, you know. We have to talk through tracing, because people dont understand what tracing is. Tracing is then this function that weve never done before, where you hire an army of people, thousands of people, to be investigators, in essence not a scary investigator but an investigator who traces the contacts of every person who is positive.
