Well, the good news is that if you lose your employer-provided coverage, which covers about a 180 million Americans, that is a significant life event, which makes you then eligible to sign up for the Affordable Care Act and as you know, it has a sliding scale of subsidies up to 400% of poverty. So thats an option for people. We have also made essentially made testing for COVID-19 free or at least the federal government has said we will pay for it. And so were trying to deal with this Healthcare challenge, but this is a unique type of challenge, but the good news is people can find, get coverage under the Affordable Care Act for Via Medicaid based on their income and through free testing from Public Health authorities as a result of what Congress has done on a bipartisan basis.
