we have seen in New Hampshire most of the fatalities taking place in Assisted Living Facilities, that is
because those are facilities where individuals have no choice but to share air and a common HVAC
system, work with common denominators like staff and share food and all that kind of stuff. So they are by
far the most at risk but we have a large number of senior housing programs too.

Ok so yes and then, you know, with all due respect to Alderman Laws | am glad | asked the question. What
| will ask you if you can look into that for us a little bit further, so that we can propose Legislation to get that
done. It could be that some of these liquor distributors know that that’s a rule and they manufacture these
things that way; | don’t know. But yeah if you could look into that, that would be great. Thank you.
