"Me. Doctor bake says often one treatment will work for one patient, but not for another, and she says it starts by looking at the genetic makeup of their cancer. Doctor Colin Pritchard, co director of genetics in the solid tumor lab at UW medicine, says they do it by looking at a panel of genes they actually know a lot about. It's a large panel approaching 400 genes, but it's not the whole genome. And we look for those targets and not just for lung cancer, but for all cancer types. The fun thing about this is that we can now also in addition to these mutations in the DNA, we can look for other biomarkers that are encoded in the DNA. Things like mutation signatures that might predict immunotherapy response, for example. And that's one way they help clinicians narrow down treatment options. Chief data officer, doctor Jeff Lee, who's new to the Hutch from Johns Hopkins University, says they collect a large variety of very complex data, which can be up to 50 terabytes for one patient. All of these data come in in a really complicated way. You can think of it as the world's hardest jigsaw puzzle, right? You come in with these very short sequences of DNA or RNA, hundreds of millions of them, billions of them. And then we have to compile those back into measurements of what variants exist in those genes or what gene expression levels there are. That's a really challenging computer science and statistics problem that we have an incredible collection of people here at the Hutch who are spending time thinking about how do we take these complicated raw measurements that we get off of a sequencing machine and turn them into a piece of information that can actually be used by doctor bake or doctor Pritchard, doctor lynch, when they're in the clinic trying to help a patient. There is great value to helping doctors treat cancer patients with that information, but the big focus at Fred Hutch is research, so they have to strike a balance that allows them to use that data to further their research. Doctor Lee says making new discoveries and putting them to work in the clinic is possible with partnerships like the one Fred Hutch has with UW medicine, but leakes says the challenge is furthering research while protecting patient privacy. So we have to set up both technological and people infrastructure that allows us to pass that data back and forth securely and respecting all of the required regulations and making sure that we keep track of who's doing what with the data so that we can make sure we both respect patient privacy and they can trust us with their data that we can also make these new discoveries which will allow us to be patient care. One of the ultimate goals is to get whole genome sequencing where they understand more than 400 of the genes they're looking at, but they acknowledge there are still a lot of unknowns and unanswered questions, which makes the donations they receive critical to furthering the research and finding those answers.

"95. Sonny and 88 now in downtown Seattle, northwest news time, 6 35 coming up on 6 36. Members of both political parties agree the economy is not doing so well. But they're pointing fingers at each other over what's going on and what's to blame. Frank Lindsay reports. President Biden says it's not surprising that the U.S. economy is slowing down. In a statement today, he does not mention recession, even though the country is technically there after the GDP dropped by an estimated 9 tenths of a percent in the second quarter. Biden notes the economic slowdown is due to the Federal Reserve taking actions to control inflation, including Wednesday's rate increase. Biden also says the job market is strong, and so is consumer spending. But Washington Republican congressman Dan newhouse tweeted, quote, our economy is in poor health and the Biden administration's tax and spend policies are only making it worse. End quote, and he went on to say in that tweet that the government needs to get out of the way, so the American people can thrive. Frank Lindsay, northwest news radio. So is the U.S. economy in a recession. It all depends on who you ask and what definition you're using as a recession. And if not, there's is there time to stop an oncoming slowdown in the economy. Washington Post economics reporter Rachel Siegel covers this in her latest piece at Washington Post dot com and spoke with Taylor van seiss. Before we get to the cause, is there a clear definition that people either in Washington D.C. or in the college classroom or wherever can agree on on what qualifies as a recession? Those are so many things that we're trying to tease apart right now. And the reason is that there are a bunch of definitions, but right now they're very contradictory So let's start with one definition, which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. While we've had that, we had negative growth in the first quarter and the latest GDP report that came out this morning was also negative. But when you put that against the backdrop of a really strong labor market of strong consumer spending, those things don't point towards the recession. So I think this might be another example of a very murky sense of data that we're trying to sift through. You liken a recession to a chain of events like a line of dominoes picking up momentum. How many dominoes have already fallen? How many remain? Well, I think maybe part of the problem there too is that we don't really know. We know, for example, that some of the dominoes that have fallen are say inflation, inflation has spiked. That has caused the Federal Reserve to ramp up their policies and raise interest rates to get control of inflation. We're starting to see that ripple through the housing market and cause businesses to pull back on some of their investments or some of their hiring. But we don't exactly know how many dominoes are still in front of us. We don't know if there will be widespread layoffs or if consumers will yank back spending really aggressively. We don't know how much further the fed will have to go. And of course, I should also say that we don't know if the dominoes will keep falling. There's the possibility that we avoid a recession, but we're not quite there yet to know if that's going to happen. If we continue on with this domino analogy, though, I mean, that's a quick thing. When a game of dominoes gets out of control, it's game over pretty quickly, and we know that economies move at a snail's pace. So what can be done? It's a very quick thing. And it tends to be a very quick thing for the job market in particular. We're paying really close attention to figure out if some of these pockets of companies that are slowing down hiring or even some people off is going to bleed into a more widespread phenomenon. And as far as what can be done, unfortunately, there are some limited tools here. We know that the Federal Reserve is going to keep hiking interest rates to get control of inflation. But we don't know if they're going to have to do that so aggressively, that it harms the labor market at the same time that some of the slowing is already happening. Rachel Siegel with us on northwest news radio, economics reporter for The Washington Post. You can always find Rachel's coverage online at Washington Post dot com. Thank you. Thank you so much. And that's Taylor van Sykes. King County health officials say they have no plans to impose a new mask mandate, but should you wear one anyway. A local expert says it won't help much, doctor Joshua schiffer vaccine and infectious disease researcher at Fred Hutch tells the Seattle times masking remains effective at protecting individuals from COVID-19, but does little to curb the spread of the virus. State health officials still recommend masking up and crowded indoor or confined spaces.

The mask mandate could be returning to King County as hospitalizations have tripled since April, coma four's mohr has the latest. If you thought mask mandates and King County were a thing of the past, think again. King County public health officer, doctor Jeffrey duchin says the county is seeing more cases per day than the peak of the delta surge. He also says over the past week, there's been 21 new COVID hospitalizations per day. That means about one person hospitalized each hour. We are in active discussions about if and when to consider issuing a mask mandate. With high transmission rates and how fast variants like BA four and BA 5 were spreading. Doctor duchin is recommending people to mask up indoors in public places, especially where there are large crowds. Hyder come on news. As many as 26 million people across the country have the condition known as long COVID, Ryan Harris has more on the local efforts to treat it. Doctor Jana freely, who leads the UW medicine post COVID clinic at harborview knows firsthand after she says long COVID knocked her for a loop even though she's otherwise healthy. Freely says there are up to 200 symptoms of long COVID, which differ some by variant and can worsen underlying conditions. COVID is like lighter fluid. It just sets everything on fire. So anything that you had before COVID may get worse after having a COVID infection. If you have a predisposition to a condition COVID may put you over the edge. And doctor freedley says while recovery from COVID takes time and that rushing it can cause big setbacks. Symptoms do get better over time. I think that there's a lot of hope. Freely says there is no one treatment for long COVID and it requires an individual approach, but she says researchers at UW and Fred Hutch are working on it. She says prevention is the best method and that starts with vaccinations. Ryan Harris, northwest news radio.

"Rex is much improved. And so that's been the bulk of the animal data. The human data is very clear based on a left step. We haven't been in humans yet with our molecule. But the human data with Levi scepter or other molecules that I've been involved in developing to plys a map, the anti CD three that's being used in type one diabetes have also shown efficacy in having an effector cell depleting capability. So the clinical data says is that if you can get rid of effector cells while maintaining your T regs that can have a good clinical outcome. So when we put those two things together, we think we have a good combination to work with. When do you think you'll be ready to go to the clinic with your lead program? Yeah, so our 53 O one program, the debulking agent will be in the clinic in Q one of 2022. And our first T reg product we're currently targeting Q three of 2022. Okay, okay. Now, I know you raised a large series B, a couple months ago. Could you talk just a little bit about what that enables you to do with kind of building the company operations out? In doing things that you really couldn't do in academia. Yeah, no, it's been a tremendous, I think it's a tremendous opportunity for us to really do what I really dream of being able to do, which is to really come full circle and test. Is this a drug that's going to work in people, which is what we really want to do. And it's going to do that because of a couple of things. One is it's going to allow us to build several additional clinical programs in other indications. So we'll have a couple of different approaches to being able to test it out, not just in rheumatoid arthritis, but having programs in other diseases as well. It allows us to build our own manufacturing facility. I told you the thing about cell therapy is the cell is the drug and the process is the cell. And so being able to have our own manufacturing facility that we can use to make sure that we're making the best sell that we can is going to be critical in this funding allows us to build our own manufacturing facility. And the third thing it allows us to do is to really start investigating which type of genetic modifications and manipulations can we make to even improve the cell beyond its natural capabilities. Including repair factors so that when you put the cell in, it starts producing the factor that will repair joints or repair neurons or whatever the disease indication, being able to test whether genetic engineering approaches can make a cell that lives longer or functions in sites that are normally hostile to the T reg environment. And so this funding allows our discovery programs to continue more indications to test out and having our own manufacturing capability. Where are you putting the manufacturing? Because I know you're based in South San Francisco. You also have an office in Seattle where Fred ramsdale is. I think you mentioned. Yeah, and the manufacturing facility is going to be in bothel. Buffalo Washington. Yes, north of Seattle. Yeah. Why there? So it seems that, well, you probably know this better than I do living in the Seattle area. Seattle turns out to be kind of a hub for cell therapy. Starting with on and Juno and a number of other company excite was in Seattle. It's really been a hub for cell therapy. You have Fred Hutch, which is a great academic cell therapy site, children's hospital, Seattle. So one of the values that we had in having a place in Seattle is being able to recruit a number of really outstanding people who have a history of cell therapy. And since our translational programs are up in Seattle, they make logical sense for us to take the next step and build our manufacturing there to interface with our translational medicine program. And we actually, as of today, hired our chief technical officer who is going to help us build out that facility in bottle. And so we're really excited about being in that community because it is such a robust cell therapy community. I think this is really interesting. Obviously, the talent pool is super important and the thing that I think drives most site location decisions. But also the fact of proximity, that it that it's close to your translational science people who might be playing around with different kinds of modifications, some of which you mentioned to different cell lines. And you might want to just throw that over the fence to the guys a half hour away in bothel to see, you know, can we make that cell line or can we do it consistently? What does it do? Having, as opposed to having your manufacturing, your cell manufacturing facility, you know, on some other continent. Oh, absolutely. And in fact, it's even more, I think, more important than the just throwing it over the fence to try and which is really you're right. A big plus. It's also making sure that when you transfer a process that's so critical to the drug from the discovery effort from the translation into the manufacturing facility that there's somebody there to make sure that that transition goes well, because so often I have seen things go from a laboratory based small product production, throw it to the big manufacturing facility and they forget that those little things that don't get written down in the notebook well and then all of a sudden things don't work. Growing T regs is hard. This took me 12 years to develop this process. You don't simply throw the process over the fence and expect somebody to do it. So having someplace close, not just helps you try things out that it helps you ensure that the process transfer is robust and reliable. Well, maybe I'll have to take a visit in baffle someday on one of your visits there. You know, Jeff, one of the issues with cell therapy for cancer has been the.

"But how did you end up in Michigan? What did your parents do? Yeah, so both my parents were immigrants. They are from Korea. And they both immigrated here separately to do their postgraduate education. And so they both got their PhD coincidentally and economics. And they met each other here in the U.S. back in the 60s, which was pretty atypical back then. And you know, my dad was a professor in economics at the university of Detroit and my mom was a female executive as an Asian woman in one of the big three automotive companies. And so that's how we ended up in Michigan. Oh, wow. So she was a trailblazer. Definitely. Okay, okay, so you obviously did pretty well in school to go to MIT. Did you know what you wanted to do then early on as an undergrad? I just knew I wanted to do something in science because I think I like things that are technical and also tend to be a little bit more objective. So but how did you decide you wanted to go to medical school? Because becoming a doctor, like, it's becoming more scientific, but there's a whole lot of being a doctor that's not based in science. Absolutely. So I still remember this so distinctly. I was on an airplane flight going back to MIT and my freshman year and I had two calendars in front of me for the next several years. One was to be a computer science major, and the other one was to be a biology major. And I really could have gone either way. And I think when I looked at it, the biology schedule just sort of fit better with my schedule overall. And that's how I like to be honest. That's how I ended up becoming a biology major. And then within that, I think I realized I like the aspect of more translational or the application of science and that's how I ended up becoming a pre med. Okay, okay, so you did pre med then, and then you go to medical school at UCSF. That's right. What drew you out there? Was it just part of what you said earlier, exploring the West Coast and seeing what that scene is like? I think it was just looking for going to an institution where I felt I could get a great education, but also experiencing experiencing things a little bit differently. I think I've come to appreciate that a diversity of experiences really helps at least for myself. I think give me a much broader perspective on things and having never lived in the West Coast. I thought that that was a great opportunity and UCSF's a great school too. So I was I felt very fortunate to have been accepted there as a student. You did internal medicine. Is that right? Yeah, so just not to digress too much. After medical school, I left medicine and I joined McKinsey, a consulting firm. And I did that for a couple of years, and then I went back into medicine at UCSF. I did internal medicine, and then I subspecialized in gastroenterology at the University of Washington, where I was doing both a clinical fellowship, as well as a research fellowship and worked in laboratory up at the Fred Hutch cancer center. Okay, so were you thinking in those days that you would make this your career as a physician scientist? Absolutely. I was in the process of applying for grants and I was going to run a laboratory and do translational research and see patients just a minority of the time. So how did that change for you? How did you go to industry? So I got a call from someone that I knew who I used to work with many, many years ago at McKinsey, who was in the venture capital sector and had said, hey, Ken, we're looking for people who have a medical background to join us, would you be interested?.

"But I found the faculty pollution in the cancer prevention program and there was a a an emerging interest in trying to understand better relationship between obesity and metabolic disease and many types of cancer and they wanted someone who could look into those mechanisms Whether the mechanistic links really and how this diet you know how this what we eat play into that. And so i've been at fred hutch. I always think about this for fourteen years until just last june when i decided to quit academia And so i'm just now establishing new business that's going to be all around consulting clients communication similar to what you're doing. We trying to up the standards in terms of what we know about nutrition as it relates to health and disease in terms of actual evidence as opposed to what we're seeing so much particularly online book form about you know people just making up stories or building on their own anecdotes and selling some product or some book around that and you know obviously happy to talk more about that but that's going to be a site story today. Leaving academia was difficult step. Because i always thought it'd be a professor and researcher all my life but as you probably have heard from others It's just really been frustrating to try to get funding for the types of nutrition studies. You know well controlled feeding studies. Where we're ideally providing all of the food for weeks and weeks or months and months at time and then do you know sophisticated feel typically accusations of participants where we really not destroying blood or getting body weight. But we're we're really measuring maybe the fat content where we're measuring whether they have information adipose tissue where we're doing glucose tolerance tests or text us. Can't these very expensive. And what i found is that personally i feel in attrition. We have a lot of fairly weak evidence from occupational studies. We have some evidence from relatively short term feeding studies or daij intervention studies in which were mostly having fairly poor Characterization of people might often just based on fasting blood for example or a body weight. And i felt what we really need is a combination of longer term. Good control of the diets and the field Characterization and what. I found.

It's basically it's a competition for people who can come up with like the best biomedical projects. It's like a science fairly millions voters this year. There were a million votes cat's amazing but like which is three hundred thousand more than last year. So like people are really getting into so the the number one finalist was the fred hutchinson cancer research center and they developed a gene editing technique that has the potential to treat and perhaps even cure of the herp. The other finalists just fyi. I was from mit and bring him a women's hospital both in the boston area and they created a liquid that coats the small intestine with an adhesive that somehow is considered a noninvasive way to deliver drugs. That treat diabetes. I guess like the drugs stick to the. He's the opposite of pam. Exactly it's double sided tape for your intestine and anyway to double click which is my new favorite corporate term to double click on this study at fred hutch as it's affectionately called.

Talking about seven trouble there, Tom, with that kind of talk there. I I saw this story this morning at 5 30. It's like, Hey, that's Fred Hutch. That's Fred Hutch. That's a guy named Dr Bloom and I look at this. Um, here is, according to The Wall Street Journal. That, Um Dr Bloom thought that there was some sequencing of the virus coming out of China. We like to say China without Asian people being beaten up, and and he said that while he was looking at it, he noticed that there was some things were missing, and he started to do some research late at night early in the morning on the weekends as well. And he ended up going online and was able to sort of find a bunch of deleted and other bits of pieces. I mean, this is way beyond anything I will ever ever be able to understand all remember from biology, mitosis and mitosis. I wrote that down as an answer on every single question. Um, so he ends up finding out Dr Bloom does that the aid sequence of virus, which was originally sent out by a researcher in China, then that researchers said, Please take that sequencing off because I have new sequencing. I'd like to have posted instead in the NIH, um, here in the United States. Removed the original sequence and then placed a new sequence up for everybody to then studies. So then the question comes in that some people are somewhat skeptical of China. I don't know why they would be the only murder their own people. That, um were they was the original sequence that was put up. There was that some sort of clue Was that something that points to the fact that it's lab oriented? Instead of wet market oriented And here we got our guy Dr Bloom there at Fred Hutch, finding bits and pieces of information and trying to glue it all together to find out. Um, where the coronavirus originated. Yeah, I think the only reason we're doing this story is because he's a local kid. I mean, the boy doctor, a man. There's a local connections. Fred Hutch.

"You our top stories continuing from the coma 24 7 News center. The number of new covert 19 cases is up slightly in Washington, even though state health officials are declaring the third wave Nearly over Come on. Brian Calvert has more. The State Health Department added 1228 new covert cases in the past day. It also declared Washington's death toll increased by 45. Pushes over 4600 that all being said. We were coming down the back side of the third wave right now. State epidemiologist Dr Scott Lindquist says there's been a dramatic lowering in the number of cases, deaths and hospital admissions. Help Secretary Umair Shah agrees were almost done with this third wave. Then comes news this week that a team at the Fred Hutch predicts that unless vaccination rates improved dramatically, the new fast spreading variant of covert from the UK could easily trigger 1/4 wave of infections. Shaw's response. There are a lot of discussions happening across the country, whether we are going to see one But right now it is just speculation at this point. Brian Calvert camo news billions of dollars in federal code 19 relief money about to be spread across the state. Now that lawmakers have approved a plan to spend it to come. Oh, score one take with details. The measure that passed the state Legislature Wednesday night finally allocates Washington's $2.2 billion share of the Cares act Congress passed last year. It includes more than $600 million to help safely reopen schools and amounts. Democratic Senator Christine Officer plots with reservations. Even after that amount of funding from Congress, almost half of the school district's in the state will still have less funding than they had last year. The other big chunk 600 million plus four state public health for Republican Senator Keith Wagoner's Some of the allocations are disappointing Mall. Landlords, mom and pop landlords got a paltry two million out of this. The money was in limbo for months because the Legislature was not in session to spend it. Governor Inslee is expected to sign the bill by the weekend. Corwin Hey CO Moh news, Seattle school district superintendent. At least you know, says the pandemic has revealed some unacceptable discrepancies and inequities for families in the state's largest school district. In an interview with Crosscut, Juneau said, What you came to Seattle. She expected his district to be further along with technology for every student when we had to shift to remote and our students did not have the devices that were necessary. Um, If I had a wish, it would have been that that would have been prior to that point in time because it's impossible access learning if you did not have that device at that time, Gino says Negotiations continue right now with teachers for The teachers union for a return to classrooms for pre K through first grade sometime in March. No plan, though, in place for older grades. Dr. Brent Jones, who previously served as the district's equity engagement director, is expected to be confirmed for a one year term as interim superintendent at the school board's February 24th meeting. The shortage of Corona virus. Vaccine doses is still evident in our state with the next shipment from the feds, only half of what was requested this week. State health secretary doctor Will Mayor Shaw also made it clear that counties will not be able to move into the next vaccine priority here, even if they reach the necessary threshold, Shaw says. They want cock counties to let them know if they're ahead and that they will then reallocate doses to other counties. We want to get people in phase one B one, vaccinated faster and as quickly as possible throughout the state of Washington. We do not want to have counties. Moving to the next phase is earlier than others.

"E. Don't know what their preoccupation and she loves that hairstyle, two perps or something like that. Oh, alrighty. Let's see. By the way, The new covert straight is coming or it's here And don't panic. That's what people tell you. No need to panic on this one. All viruses do mutate in this one. Is, um In this case. It's 23 articles I said, said Yes, but there's no need to get, you know, freaked out by it. It's all viruses, eventually, sort of. Keep changing, and this one has changed as well. Here comes the fourth wave. Kournikova 19, Can it be prevented, did not likely says of Fred Hutch model, but the curve could be flattened again. So here we are. This is the we're calling this. This is the fourth wave of covert The first one started in March or February, and then it died down. We flatten the curve, but then we continued with the lockdowns. Then we loosen things up in the summer because that's what happened. The people went back outside again. And then people went inside again and then the virus doesn't go away. Just our behavior changes and then people were sick. Heard somebody epidemiologist. They don't call them waves. This is just what happens. Viruses do this, We go inside and outside the weather changes and R R effect to the virus changes as well. So, Tom, are we supposed to take cover on this fun and continue to keep everything closed down for the for the fourth wave? What can we do? So the suggestion here is that for a lot of people, including the scientist before this new variant, it came up that they thought that by this spring, and by the beginning of summer, we would probably have this thing licked, but now they realized that with this fourth variant That we're not going to be out of the woods that early. So right now, the big races between this variant and the vaccine that they'll beam or pressure if there isn't already enough pressure on to get the vaccine out, If the faster we get the vaccine out, the less Chance. This fourth. Very this variant in this fourth wave has of taking hold the idea anyway. So what they say is that right now, because I think people are obviously it's it's going to be over a year. Since they've been doing this. They're getting impatient. This is not the time to relent. This is the time to wear the mask, even between sips of coffee. I think, John no, they say that the person but they do say that keeping social distance and wearing a mask for you know, X. Still a goodly while is the way to go because we're not going to reach that herd immunity business till late. There's also some concern. The South African thing sounds terrible that that vary. It hasn't hit the United States much at all. But the UK very they think by my next month is going to be the dominant Varian and it's It's like twice as, um Twice is infectious. But the vaccine seems to work pretty well with it. So they think that can we can have a handle on that, perhaps as long as people don't change their behavior. It's the South African ones a little concerning they just stopped. The AstraZeneca stuff cause had no effect on the South African variance. But that's that's not the first wave of variant that we're concerned about. The UK was the first one The I H m D right. That's the theme of the folks that came out of these the ones that were supported by the Gates Foundation. That's where they get their money from Andre were the ones that came out early and really shot for the stars and made giant predictions of Death everywhere and then they kept kind of toning it back. But they say, by June, you're looking at sticks they going to say 630,000 deaths. Um, that's their projection. June 1st. That's what they Jonathan. You earthy H. M. Yeah, I know. I think you do You want to discredit the ihe Me? But when we first heard that the first projections where something like between 60 and 240,000, and that's when we only have like 10,000, That's ridiculous. And now that's dwarfed if only we were that successful. So they're projections have been Go ahead. Yeah, I don't read that. The nation which I did subscribe to it. It's funny. They give you one article Jacob at the nation, which is a big social socialist paper, and then they make you pay. I'm like, All right, You know what? Screw you people. I'll share capitalism works, so I paid They do a nasty piece. I mean, they repped the I H M Eve and other epidemiologists and research labs, speaking off the record at the nation because they say the Gates Foundation has so much power and they call it the Bill chill. That if you do something, and Bill Gates doesn't like it, you receive the thing on as the bill. Chill. So they say that the power of the I H m E with the Gates Foundation behind it. Is just a force to be reckoned with. And that's the one that gets the news. That's the one that gets out there. They're the ones with the predictions. They get the money. They get the research. It was $2.95 well spent at the nation. Hopefully they put that money to good use to see how the bill the bill chill had never heard that before. And you heard of anything. Did you know that the Gates Foundation is behind the HIV, Tom? I don't know if I ever read when I I've never heard of the eye jammy before this pandemic business, So I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if I'd read it in the first Seattle Times article when they profiled it. Beyond that. I don't know that the numbers are inaccurate. The knock that you always had against it was that they were inflated will now they don't look inflated. Oh, yeah, there we could catch up. The theory behind the theory behind the way that I h m E doesn't and other there other modeling there a lot of other modeling systems. What they claim they do is they just take whatever data they have, and then it's adjusted each on a daily basis. But yeah, there are. There are other ways to do models. I don't have any preference for one model over the other, a Tous point. It has a local connection would be on that. You know, If there's some other modeling system that you prefer, or the nation prefers, I'd be happy to look at the at them as well. Like the Great Barrington. I like what they do. I like the way those scientists looked at it, and I like him in Tokyo did with no lockdowns, Although they do clothes, the restaurants there eight o'clock at night, and they say people are pretty good about it. And here's crazy thing that they've done their They've said Okay. Yes, we're gonna close the restaurants down at eight o'clock at night, but to make up for it, we're going to give every restaurant $600. Do you mean period or a day or a day? $600 a day. Yeah. Okay? And is that approximate how much money they make? In a what? In a six hour shift from 62, or I don't like this deal. I guess every time they would close it down, they said, Okay, we'll do for you was will give you money because we're forcing you to close your best and stayed eight o'clock. We know you probably had a lot more money. After eight o'clock, So here's $600 for the restaurant, So that's sort of like what the P P P thing is. The government gives these businesses money to help try to keep them afloat while they're being shut down. I don't know if $16 is more or less than what we would give. But Yeah, well, the P p p. Yes..
