rob davison is an er doctor working with patients. i want to highlight this, in rural communities, you are an er doctor in a very small hospital in michigan. and the word for it is a critical access hospital. we're going to get to your challenges in a moment, but could you just react to the headline that we're reporting from elizabeth cohen? >> i think it underscores how little we still know about this virus and how little we knew about it at the beginning. and truly what a critical failure it was for the entire month of february not having the testing ramping up to the point where just less than a week ago i was able to start testing everybody with symptoms in my rural hospital and really across michigan. you know, the less we know, i think the less hubris we should come at this with even now, the governor of georgia and everyone is trying to reopen so quickly. i think we need to take a deep breath and learn as much as we can and get as much data as we can to do this right. >> i'm glad you finally are able to test everyone. we heard
