hospital beds, staffing shortages of tests, almost everything. it's tough for the system to handle this many cases at once but i think if there is a silver lining, it's when it comes down fast, it's likely to go down even more quickly. and we will -- what we will see is a, um, hopefully not nearly as severe. we will still see -- still see a lot of cases in hospitals. we will still see a lot of deaths but hopefully this will be much milder on a percentage basis than what we have seen with delta. >> let's hope. and as you know, president biden is revoking travel restrictions on southern african countries when the restriction wrs put in place late last month. as you know, the administration said at the time it was to buy time. but what do you think, andy? was that time wasted to some extent as far as ramping up testing capabilities? i mean, we are almost two years into this pandemic. isn't it a major problem that people are scrambling at drugstores and whatnot to find these tests?
