So, let me just start with one clarification for the record.
2:39:57
We do not and haven't for, I don't know, 10 or 15 years require shelters to close during the day.
2:40:04
That was the policy and I know that many people believe that it still is.
2:40:08
Clients can absolute they can stay indoors during the day.
2:40:11
That they certainly they are not required to, but they can.
2:40:14
I just wanted to make sure that we were all, on the same page there.
