emergency temporary stand, they're saying test your employees weekly or mandate the vaccine, that order is still waiting an issuance. it is still going through rounds of it ration with the white house. once that happens, the devil is in the details, there will be a lot of friction for them not to mandate the vaccine. once children have access less than 12 years of age, you're going to see those rates really deline there. that's really going to get this country up to a very high level of vaccine uptick. >> let's talk also about the boosters. we expect that this will tleed a final vorgs for boosters. is that mostly for johnson and johnson patients? or is there an advantage for
