Early on in the pandemic, the hospital was pretty empty. There weren't a lot of traumas, other acute injuries or medical concerns. Unfortunately, with the pandemic -- and this is true for both pediatric patients and adults -- a lot of people kind of deferred or waited to get medical care for different concerns because of fear of the pandemic, now, we're seeing the after-effects, where we have a lot of patients admitted right now for a lot of other acute medical concerns and a lot of kids admitted with Covid on top of that. So there are just a lot of patients in the hospital.
