Nobody can give you a specific number which makes it very frustrating to plan when they can’t give you a specific number or a specific date, but we’re in that range. Some people go out 14 days, but our reading of the projections is we’re somewhere in this seven day range, four, five, six, seven, eight day range. Depending on whose model you look at, they’ll say four or five, six, seven days. By the numbers, we’re not yet at the apex. That’s going to be the number one point of engagement of the enemy. Can we handle that number of cases at the high point of the curve? I call it the battle at the mountain top because that’s what it’s going to be. The apex is the point where the number of infections on a daily basis is at the high point, and that is the ultimate challenge for the healthcare system. We’ve been talking about hitting the apex. We’re tracking the growth of the number of infections by hospital and we can see just where the numbers are increasing. One third of that number has a serious condition which will require continued hospitalization. People who are hospitalized will come in, be treated and leave, that’s two thirds. Okay? Two thirds of the people who have been hospitalized have been discharged. And this is interesting, two thirds of the people who have been hospitalized have been discharged. Total number of hospitalized is down a blip, but we believe that’s not statistically meaningful. New Jersey has a serious problem in New Jersey and a growing problem, then Michigan, then California, then Massachusetts. Most impacted States, you see New York at the top again. Number of deaths, all time increase up to 3,565. Total hospitalizations, 15,000 people currently hospitalized, 4,000 ICU patients, 10,000 patients discharged. That’s the highest number of testing we’ve ever done.
