i guess the challenges in some ways are similar if you would about the people that are still on boards or cells of people people so on board what type of risk are they facing right now. well obviously they're much higher risk than the general population for it to to become infected with the crowd a virus simply live much of the fact that they are kept in close proximity with other people who have been infected so. so certainly the risk of becoming infected is much higher on the stand that if they have become infected if they become ill have been taken off the ship and given medical care. but nonetheless they're at significant risk it i also understand that the health already is doing everything they can to prevent transmission on the ship keeping people in isolation wearing face masks. you know minimizing contact between passengers and crew and other personnel. obviously you know the numbers speak for themselves out of 500 people infected so that is. those mechanisms for preventing spread have obviously not contained the epidemic particularly well ok when we look at those numbers can w
