We're optimistic the incidence rates will be driven back down. The challenge will be to get those 11-year-olds back in for their booster shot.

It will probably stretch out, because we'll be doing a single shift, through mid-May.

Looking at the debt the hospital will ultimately incur is going to really challenge its ability to ever be in a situation where it has much freedom to create stable, healthy margins on a regular basis. Because of that reality, it always raises the question of whether the hospital will stay with current ownership. If they get rid of the hospital, they get rid of the debt. If they keep it, they may be chronically saddled with difficulties maintaining margins.

Work is winding down. We have almost cast all 452 segments, and as of March 31, we should have somewhere in the teens to go, probably roughly 15 segments to go, so we will eliminate our swing shift.

The public health community is very excited by this new booster shot,

We are pretty complacent about vaccine-preventable diseases, primarily because the vaccines are so effective we rarely see the diseases. It's kind of out-of-sight, out-of-mind.
