from everybody on the premises, i don't know that osha's going to do that. i can definitely anticipate that is a possibility from this iteration of osha at this time in the pandemic. if that happened, would that effectively create a sort of federal mask mandate at all workplaces, i mean, regardless of what's happening in individual states? if osha's requiring that for all workplaces, that would mean all restaurants, all bars, anywhere anyone works, wouldn't it? >> yeah, i mean, i think we're going to have to take this based on where we are at a given period of time. i think we need to be wearing masks right now. i think it's the right thing to do to protect the public, to protect one another. as we have more and more people vaccinated, as vaccinations become -- you know, vaccines become available all around the country for anybody who wants it, i think the calculus in all of this and who should be wearing masks and when will change. and i really look forward to the day that we get to make those decisions because so many people are vaccinated. >> the last tim
