international help i mean i don't think i have the longest time to put it to actually inviting the government. to decide but i am sure the government is listening to us and if we can get the short supplies of walks in. life support machines then make decisions many more patients than now many of the patients. the hospitals they are nor different to get because of the shortage of these critical docs and supplies so what you're saying the oxygen supply is that in the country just not getting it is that correct. yeah just the issues there is lenders are short. some states have more options of life and some are very short so. the. engine works in some places but other parts of the. folks in some places well
