So this is the punchline on the right-hand side, because you've asked me a couple of times, what would it, what would it cost to meet the demand? So I think we kind of have a number for you, which is we would love to have another 100 beds at East 56, you know, kind of starting tomorrow would be wonderful. We could fill those beds and that would be great. If we had another 50 beds at Linda's Place for November-December, so just carrying on with kind of our surge plan, as well as adding 20 beds at our non-congregate site. We don't even know if we could do that, like if those beds exist over there, but it would be very helpful.
