year, 162 patients. we're a 600-bed hospital roughly. about 258 now patients with covid in the hospital. so about 40%, roughly, of all the patients in the hospital have been diagnosed with covid. there's 1 hundred patients in the e.r. maybe waiting for beds at any given time so it's really busy and on top of that, there's a lot of health care workers who are out. they get a positive test, and they're out. so at any given time, 20% to 25% of health care workers are out. so busy in terms of overall patient influx, but fewer staff at the same time. so it's a tough situation. i'll tell you as well, jake, i perform neurosurgical operations. they have to have a meeting basically every day before the operating room to determine what it considered urgent or emergent because we're cutting down on the number of elective cases we can do in the midst of this.
