nations that are available to them. Will again, let's just keep in mind.
I find that over the last six months we have vaccinated in the state of Florida over ten million people
almost more than fifty percent of our population, huge
focus on our elderly in and really important understand. We have
tiny percentage of individuals with covert coming
our nursing homes less than three percent. So we ve done a great
job getting some of our most vulnerable individuals vaccinated. We ve gotta convinced twenty five years,
thirty year old that this
is now life threatening for them. That is not what they saw and what we experienced last year. This is the delta via a variant. It is absolutely
tackling a younger population and it is putting them in the hospital we ve gotta up? Our voices are
surging and make sure we're loud and clear about how critically important
for that age group to get vaccinated. What do you fear about
this is going in Florida, and could you please expound more on these younger sicker patients? Is it just anecdotal or what kind of
members are saying and how sick they're getting so as we ve looked at
data. You have over fifty percent of our house,
