concern on this side. on the other side, there's also a shortage of american co workers, but obviously there was this fear that the virus could spread specially in hospitals, for instance, them having that set. and that there was a shortage of medical workers that's value in the united states. the biden administration is a beginning to deploy actually 1000000 medical military, a team said to hospitals also by the way, here to new york throughout this year and to my brooklyn neighborhood to close by. ok. well let's talk about these 1000000000 tests. i mean, is this going to be enough to get schools and businesses up and running again? well, it is one crucial part to for the recovery and to get back to normal. but they had been some criticism that actually the biden administration neglected getting more a test, especially last year. so now they're trying to catch up. i mean,

1000000000 test, that's a big number. the question is, where do you get those tests from? there was a shortage of those tests. some companies the met, definitely put production down in the past the or slow down production in the past couple of months at said demand to him from watching was and that tie, what we do not know is when those tests will be available at i talked to a doctor and he said one of the problems with the rapid at home test is that a lot of people don't use them the right way. and then i know from my son school, for example, they hand out those tests, but not the body gets those tests done at home. so it won't solve all of the problems, but definitely it's going to be one crucial part. and to get back, the big question really remains. if those tests even will be available within the next couple of months. young quarter in new york. thank you so much. now to some of the other global business stories making news. delta airlines posted
