[00:00:22]Uh, last night I was speaking to my wife who is over at Emory receiving her infusion. Uh, I said, "Look, they just dropped two patients off at Emory. Maybe we should think about this because we don't know."

[00:00:34]And uh, I understand I can't be in control of everything, but at the same token, I am very protective over my queen.

[00:00:59]Well, there's two sides to that. I do agree with with uh, protecting our own. If they're Georgia residents, then yes, let's get them to Georgia. But at the same token, we have facilities that are designed for that, which is the CDC.

[00:01:13]Uh, so let's get them to the facility that's needed. But apparently, Emory has what's needed.

[00:01:36]Well, honestly, I just found out about it like today that they're there. Um, I think so far, I'm not too concerned because, you know, they're at Emory and um, probably quarantining, I'm assuming.

[00:01:49]Um, and it doesn't seem like it's as far spread or like as easily spread, which is good.

[00:02:21]I feel like if there's like Yeah, obviously some fear. We just went through COVID and they told us that wouldn't be too bad and then we were shut down for 3 years. Um So, I think there is some a little bit I'm a little skeptical of trusting that they say it's not going to get bad, but who knows, you know, as long as as long as it's out there, it could get worse.
