This is Dr Through testing something I didn't hear of last week, but something that we're doing this week, thanks to the good efforts of the team we have here, drive through. Testing means people in this community you can call a telephone number making appointments, and they can come to be tested and literally drive through the testing facilities. There are six lanes that are operating. You drive in in your car on and the medical staff comes to you. Does the test takes the swabs on? Then you pull out. The swabs get sent to a laboratory, in this case by a reference they do the testing. We get the results back to the person. This facility can do about 200 cars per day. So depending on how many people are in the car, how many people you will actually serve, it's not only faster and easier. It's also smarter and safer because you're not exposing people toe a person who may be positive. Up until now, if somebody thinks they're positive, they might walk into a hospital. They walk into a hospital there now, exposing people in the emergency room. They're exposing staff etcetera, so it's actually safer to keep them in their car so they can come in for the testing. Its less exposure is a way.
