to actually support and to fund this investments that need to be taken to communities and we really want to speed up that chance in this crisis actually to speed up the judaization and public health system now there's a lot of debate about european solidarity and also germany solidarity in this crisis germany's taking in patients from abroad how far will german solidarity go will that also include potentially sending personnel or equipment or even as far as corona bonds. well in general for example able to do nate's a couple of 100 until agers spain italy france the u.k. countries that we wanted to support that have helped us in the past and so we could . have been helpful for them we have taken patients as you just mentioned from abroad from other countries we have an exchange i mean there were times when others helped us and now we can give for example masks some at least. medical must.
