THE- LONG HOURS THE YUNIOR
STAFF HAVE SERVED- I WANT TO GO
OVER SOME STARTING WITH THE WE
TALKED EXTENSIVELY ABOUT THE
COVERT NINETEEN RESPONSE. AND I
WANT TO FOCUS IN. SECURELY WE
DISCUSSED SOME PROVISION OF-
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO BOTH
HOSPITALS AND OTHER HEALTH
WORKERS CAN YOU PROVIDE US A
STATUS REPORT. ON THE STATE'S
ROLE PARTICULARLY WITH PRIVATE
SECTOR HOSPITALS AND- OTHER
COMMUNITY CLINICS HOSPITALS
WHAT IS THE- ROLE IN WHAT'S
YOUR CURRENT ASSESSMENT OF THE
AVAILABILITY OF PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. YEAH SO- IT ONE OF
THE KEY FOCUSES OF OUR WORK HAS
BEEN TO ENSURE THAT OUR CARE
DELIVERY SYSTEM IS STRONG AND
THAT IT'S PREPARED TO RECEIVE
IF NECESSARY PATIENTS IN OUR
COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
CAN PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES AND
SAVE LIVES- PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN AS WE ALL
KNOW- ONE OF THE MAJOR AREAS
WHERE WE HAVE FOCUSED A LOT OF
OUR WORK THAT IS BECAUSE THERE
HAS BEEN. A GLOBAL SHORTAGE
NATIONAL AND READ SHORTAGES
WERE SO HAVE BEEN THERE PRO.
ABOUT IDENTIFYING SOURCES
INCLUDING CONTRACTS IN PLACE TO
BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
HAVE PPO THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE
FOR OUR CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM-
FIRST AND FOREMOST BUT ALSO-
WITH INTENTIONS OF MAKING IT
MORE BROADLY AVAILABLE AS THE
MARKET PLACE OPENS UP- UP WE
ARE. WE THROUGH THIS PROCESS-
WE- REMIND OF P. P. TO PRIVATE
HIGH. AND PRIVATE AS AS WELL AS
OTHERS THEY'RE ALL PART OF THIS
CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT
PROTECTS ALL OF CALIFORNIA. SO
AS WE RECEIVED- SUPPLIES. WE%
RESPOND TO REQUESTS THAT WE
HAVE FROM CLINICS AND HOSPITALS
ACROSS THE STATE THERE IS A
SYSTEM THAT SET UP THAT ALLOWS
FOR REQUEST TO BE MADE- THROUGH
A REGIONAL- CONTACTS UP TO THE
STATE. AND WHEN WE RECEIVE THE
THOSE REQUESTS WE FILL THEM
ACCORDING. TO NEED AN
AVAILABILITY- CURRENTLY WE HAVE
AND NINETY FIVES- THAT OUR
NATIONAL PROVED AND THEY ARE
COMING IN- WE CONTINUED TO-
THEY THEY CONTINUE TO BE OUR-
LIMITED BUT ARE. AVAILABLE
GALLONS OF THE OTHER ONES THAT
HAVE BEEN A CHALLENGING IT FROM
GLOBAL SHORTAGES. BUT WE ALSO
HAVE THOSE IN WE ARE MOVING THE
MOUSE. AS THEY BECOME
AVAILABLE- AND THOSE SUPPLIES
ALSO ARE. AVAILABLE I'M GOING
IT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TO
MAKE SURE THAT I IS THERE TO
PROTECT OUR CARE DELIVERY
SYSTEM. THANK YOU FOR THAT AND
RELATED TO HAT I DID REYES
WITH YOU YESTERDAY. CONCERNS
RAISED BY CALIFORNIA NURSES
ASSOCIATION ABOUT SOME NURSES.
BEING REQUIRED TO ENTER FROM.
CONTAMINATED AREAS OR WORK
AREAS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN
PROVIDED WITH ADEQUATE. PP I
KNOW I JUST RAISE THAT WITH YOU
YESTERDAY BUT. WOULD LIKE TO
HEAR. PART MEANT THREE BE AND
MAKE IT TO HIM. THE LEGAL ROUTE
TO PUT EMPLOYEE AND NOT TO PUT
IN SKINNER AND OTHERS AT RISK
BY PUTTING THEM IN A WORKPLACE
WITHOUT ADEQUATE. PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. YES CENTER MAN THANK
YOU VERY MUCH THE CALL THAT WE
HAD YESTERDAY AND FOR YOU
SCHERING- THAT INFORMATION WITH
US WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT ON
INDEED THERE IS GUIDANCE-
ONLINE FOR A CARE DELIVERY
SYSTEM REGARDING- PP E. AND ITS
USE AND SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO
LOOK INTO THAT AND GET BACK TO
YOU. WITH FURTHER DETAILS ON
THAT IN RELATED TO THAT THANK
YOU I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION
RELATED TO. NURSES AND OTHER
HEALTH CARE WORKERS WHO HAVE
TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVERT
NINETEEN- WHO OF DIED SOME
WHO'VE DIED FROM THE DISEASE.
BUT THERE'S NO DETAIL ON WHERE
THESE HEALTH CARE WORKERS
WORKED MORE THAN HOSPITALS
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES OR
OTHER FACILITIES. AND OTHER
THAN BEING CLASSIFIED AS HEALTH
CARE WORKER WAS THAT A DOCTOR
AND NURSE A RESPIRATORY
THERAPIST. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR
YOU TO GET. THAT MORE DETAILED.
INFORMATION WHILE PROTECTING
OBVIOUSLY PATIENT
CONFIDENTIALITY BUT IT WOULD
SEEM JUST THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF
WHO IS BEING EXPOSED AND- IN
THOSE SAID CASES WHERE SOMEBODY
HAS DIED. FOR US TO KNOW IF IT
WAS A DOCTOR AND NURSE OR
RESPIRATORY TH RESPIRATORY
THERAPISTS TO SEND INFORMATION
THAT YOU CAN GET FORCE. THE
CENTER MONNING AYE YOU ASKED ME
THAT QUESTION YESTERDAY AND I
DID CHECK WE DO NOT HAVE THE
SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT
WHETHER THEY WERE A DOCTOR OR
NURSE IMMEDIATELY ON HAND- WE
HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT IT YOU
KNOW IF THEY WERE WORKING AND
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES ARE
HOSPITALS. AND THAT INFORMATION
IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN- WE
CAN LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT.
THANKS AND THEN JUST RELATED TO
THAT- SKILLED NURSING
FACILITIES ARE REQUIRED TO
REPORT. TO YOUR DEPARTMENT THE
NUMBER OF INFECTED HEALTHCARE
WORKERS IN THEIR FACILITIES AND
THE NUMBER WHO HAVE DIED
HOSPITAL'S HOWEVER ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO REPORT SIMILAR
INFORMATION. WHY IS THERE THAT
DISCREPANCY BETWEEN SKILLED
NURSING FACILITY REQUIRED
REPORTING AND WE'RE NOT GETTING
THAT INFORMATION FROM HOSPITALS.
I WILL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU
ON THE SPECIFICS OF THAT. THANK
YOU AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT
MY NUMBER SOME OF THESE ARE
ISSUES THAT WERE JUST BROUGHT
TO YOUR ATTENTION YESTERDAY
THAT I WOULD VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE. THE FOLLOW UP.
SHIFTING AWAY FROM COVERT
NINETEEN WE DID DISCUSS. THE
CHALLENGE MAYBE PARTLY RELATED
TO COVERT NINETEEN OF. FAMILIES
NOT GETTING FACT CHILDREN
KEEPING ON THEIR VACCINATION
SCHEDULES- IN YOU SHARED WITH
ME AND I THINK WOULD BE OF
INTEREST TO THE COMMITTEE AND
THE PUBLIC QUITE STEPS YOU'RE
TAKING TO TRY TO PROTECT. OUR
VACCINE PROGRAMS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. IF YOU KNOW THE
VACCINATIONS ARE SO IMPORTANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR KIDS STAY
HEALTHY AND INDEED- SINCE-
COATED NINETEEN- SINCE WE HAVE
DECREASED ARE. A DURING THE
STAY AT HOME ORDERS IN ORDER TO
CREATE A MORE ACCESS TO CARE TO
PROTECT THE CARE SYSTEM WE
BACKED OFF ON SOME ELECTIVE
PROCEDURES AND SOME OUTPATIENT-
APPOINTMENTS AS WELL- AND WE
DID AN ANALYSIS IN APRIL AND WE
FOUND. THAT COMPARED WITH THE
LAST YEAR VACCINATIONS WERE
DOWN ABOUT 40% WHICH IS
INCREDIBLY CONCERNING TO US SO
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY
THOUGHTFULLY THROUGH OUR CARE
DELIVERY SYSTEM MECHANISMS-
THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO
IDENTIFY WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP
AND ENCOURAGE PROVIDERS TO
REACH OUT TO THOSE PATIENTS.
AND MAKE SURE THAT DAY THEY'RE
BROUGHT IN FOR THOSE
VACCINATIONS WE THINK THAT UP
PROVIDERS IN PARTICULAR ARE
YOUR TRUSTED. CONTACTS OF THESE
PATIENTS AND SO THEY'RE REALLY
GOOD MESSENGERS AND HELPING TO
COMMUNICATE AND GET UP PARENTS
TO BRING THEIR KIDS AND I
WANTED THE CLEAR MESSAGES THAT
I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT
YESTERDAY WAS THAT YOU KNOW OUR
CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM IN OUR-
ENVIRONMENT JUST LIKE IN MANY.
DIFFERENT SECTORS IS CHANGE THE
WAY THAT WE'RE DOING WORK TO
MAKE SURE THAT WHEN PARENTS
BRING THEIR CHILDREN AND THEY
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THERE
BEING HIGH RISK FOR THOSE
CHILDREN BE EXPOSED. NINETEEN
AS WELL SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE
SURE ALSO THAT THAT CASE NOT.
MAKE SURE. NO THAT THE BRING
THEIR CHILDREN AND THE WE NEED
THEM TO BE THE TO PROTECT THEIR
CHILDREN AND PROTECT THE
CHILDREN AROUND THEM WELL THANK
YOU AND THEN MY FINAL OCCUR
THAT I THINK IT WILL EVOLVING A-
WE HAD A GOOD ABOUT CHILL
HEALTH ABOUT. CHRONIC DISEASE.
DIE NEED. ACT SOME OF THE ON
LINE GOING. DETERMINANT IN.
HEALTH IN YEAR STRAW HISTORY
AND AREA IN YOUR CA. TO WORKING
US. IN THE LEGISLATURE. AS I
SHARED WITH YOU I THINK. THE
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
ARE. SYNONYMOUS WITH THE GOALS
AND OBJECTIVES OF THE
LEGISLATURE WE ALL WANT A
HEALTHY CALIFORNIA. IN YET.
WE'VE SUFFERED SOME FRUSTRATION
IN OUR EFFORTS TO WORK WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OVER THE YEARS- A
DEPARTMENT OF OVER. THREE
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
EMPLOYEES AND OVER TWO HUNDRED
PROGRAMS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS
WAS HOW DO YOU MANAGE SUCH A
MASSIVE ORGANIZATION. BUT TO
THE EXTENT THAT WE SHOULD SEE
EACH OTHER AS ALLIES I WOULD
LIKE TO ASK YOU IN YOUR NEW
ROLE AS LEADER. TO WORK TO
IMPROVE. THE RESPONSE TIME OF
EMPLOYEES OF YOUR DEPARTMENT IN
CORY'S FROM MEMBERS OF THE
STATE LEGISLATURE AND I'M JUST
GOING TO BE FRANK WE'VE BEEN
FRUSTRATED I SHARE THIS WITH
YOU YESTERDAY. OF ALL THE
DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES WE
DEAL WITH DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH HAS THE REPUTATION OF
NOT BEING RESPONSIVE TO MEMBERS
OF THE LEGISLATURE AND I WOULD
JUST LIKE YEAR COMMITMENT AS
THE NEW DIRECTOR. TO LOOK INTO
THAT IN AND COMMIT TO WORK WITH
THIS BECAUSE I THINK AT THE END
OF THE DAY. WHERE YOUR BEST
ALLIES TO ADVANCE GOOD POLICY
FOR THE PUBLIC THIS IS A
CALIFORNIA. SO THANK YOU.

WELL AND SO I AM ABSOLUTELY
COMMITTED. PERSONALLY AND
WORKING WITH MY STAFF. TO MAKE
SURE THAT. WE CHANGE THE WAY
THAT WE DO WORK AND ENSURE THAT

YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND ALL OF
THE LEGISLATURE IT CAN RELY ON
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC

THE STATE WE CURRENTLY NOW HAVE
PROCESSES IN PLACE TO COLLECT
THAT DATA REGULARLY AND TO BE
ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE'S
ANY AREAS THAT WE SHOULD BE
PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION TO. THE
WE HAVE GREAT BUT A PROCESSES
IN PLACE TO REALLY UNDERSTAND
THE NEEDS OF OUR CARE DELIVERY
SYSTEM GREAT PARTNERSHIPS IN
PLACE AND THE RESOURCES WE NEED
IN PLACE SHOULD WE NEED. TO
RESPOND BY MAKING MORE BEDS
AVAILABLE SO TO YOUR POINT IF
THERE IS A SURGE AND MORE BEDS
ARE AVAILABLE. WE ARE TRAINED
WHO WE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS AND
WE HAVE THE RESOURCES IN PLACE.
WE STILL AS A STATE THAT WE
NEED TO BE VERY THOUGHTFUL AND
VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE KOBE

ONE OF US HAS A RESPONSIBILITY
IN MAKING SURE THAT WE REACHED.
THE TRANSMISSION ARE THESE AND
THAT'S BY MAKING THAT. WE YOU

CERTAINLY- THE TESTING THE
TESTING ISSUE WAS A BIG ONE
CERTAINLY AND IN MY COUNTY IN
PARTICULAR BECAUSE WE HAVE
FEWER. PRIVATE LABS THAT

QUESTION GOES TO THE ISSUE OF

MINUTE ON DOWN AND IF WE HAVE
ANY INFORMATION THAT WILL BE
HELPFUL TO YOU. A PLEASE REACH

ON ALL THE FRIENDS FOR COAL
VI AND NOW IT'S USUALLY
ONCE A WEEK AND IT'S VERY VERY
WELL DONE AND I KNOW THE STATE
IS DOING THAT TOO. BUT THE MORE
INFORMATION WE HAVE. OUR A AND
EDUCATION WE CAN PROVIDE I AM
AT THE LEVEL WILL BE CRITICAL.
TO ENSURE WHEN THE VACCINE IS

UNDERSTAND JOB. IT IS. BUT WHAT
IS FOR. OFFERED ARE. SET WELL
WILL HOPEFULLY KEEP CONVERSE.
GOING MAKE IT VERY ARE. THANK

THIS EXTRA. OF UP. WE YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR BY LET ME TO
A BY STE MISTER WILK. THANK YOU
MAYOR PRO TEM. CONGRATS ON YOUR
POINT IN AND DAY YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE. JUST LIKE THE US WE
HAVE THE ROLE OF THE AND
CONSENT WHEN IT COMES TO COOPER
TRY UP. AND THIS COMMITTEE
MAKES RECOMMENDATION AND GOES
TO THE FLOOR OUR COLLEGE IN THE
FLOOR DON'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ASK THE QUESTIONS THEY HAVE
TO DO SIMPLY UP OR DOWN VOTE SO
I TOOK THE TIME TO REACH OUT
AND I'VE GOT A SERIES OF
QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS FROM
BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE SO I
TRY TO DO IT IN ORDER TO MEET
SENSE BUT SOME PEOPLE THINK WE
DIDN'T DO ENOUGH SOME PEOPLE
THOUGHT WE DID TO ME SO I'M
JUST GOING TO PLOW THROUGH
THIS. AND GET YOUR A LOT. IT SO
MARCH SIXTEENTH THE VOTE TO JR
GET ON PRESS UNPRECEDENTED
POWER TO THE A TO GOVERNOR MANY
LEGISLATOR VOTED FOR THE
MEASURES PART DUE TO THE- THAT
YOU PROVIDE EARLIER THAT
AFTERNOON TO THE VARIOUS
CAUCUSES AS I RECALL FROM THE
BRIEFING YOU STATED COVER
NINETEEN WAS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS
AND THAT WE SHOULD EXPECT
TWENTY FIVE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS TO BE INFECTED WE
WERE TOLD AMERICA MORTALITY
RATE WAS QUITE HIGH AND THAT WE
WOULD NOT BE SAFE UNTIL WE
REACHED HERD IMMUNITY AND OR A
VACCINE WAS DISCOVERED. SO IF
YOU CAN CRY THAT IF YOU WANT.
THIS IS MY- BUT SO HOW DO YOU
RECKON. CONSULT STATEMENTS FROM
MY SIXTEEN SO WHY IT WHAT HAS
HOW. YEAH I RECONCILE IT BY A
KNOWLEDGE IN GIVING CREDIT TO
ALL CALIFORNIANS- OUT MARCH
NINETEENTH AS YOU KNOW WE ARE.
YEAH I ISSUED A STAY AT HOME
ORDER WHICH MEANT STATS- UNLESS
PEOPLE HAD ESSENTIAL REASONS TO
GO OUT OF THEIR HOME LIKE TO GO
GROCERY SHOPPING OR TO PICK UP
PRESCRIPTIONS THEY WERE TO STAY
IN THEIR HOME UNLESS THEY WERE
PART OF THIS CENTURY WORKFORCE.
AND CALIFORNIA'S TOOK THAT
REALLY SERIOUSLY AND WE SAW WE
SAW THROUGH MOBILITY DATA
PEOPLE STOP TO GOING OUT DAIS
THE MOVEMENT ACROSS THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA SLOW DOWN AND
PEOPLE DID NOT GO OUT AND I
WOULD STATE HAS BEEN- SOMETHING
THAT CALIFORNIANS AND ALL OF US
CAN BE VERY PROUD OF BECAUSE WE
DID. SB OFF DAY BEND THE WRIST
THE PROJECT THAT YEAR DESCRIBE
WHERE THE PER. OF THAT EXIST
AND TO BECAUSE OF THIS WORK ON
THE PART OF HEALTH. WE'RE
LOOKING AT A VERY DIFFERENT
RIGHT NOW WITH RESPECT THAT
FIRST ANTICIPATED OUR- IN SPITE
THAT WE- THOUGHT THAT COULD IF
DIDN'T DO SOMETHING. AND IN
FACT WE SEEN WHAT HAVE ENOUGH
PLACES THE WORLD- I THEY DIDN'T
HAVE THE TYPE OF ORDER THAT WE
HAD IN PLACE EARLY AND OFTEN
DIDN'T SLOW. POPULATION
MOVEMENT DOWN SO THAT'S HOW I
WOULD RECONCILE THE TWO I WOULD
RECONCILE IT BY GIVING CREDIT
TO CALIFORNIANS I WOULD REMIND
US ALL THAT IT'S NOT OVER YET.
I'M WE'RE IN A POSITION NOW
WHERE- WE ARE CONTINUING TO
WATCH THE DATA AND THINGS ARE
VERY STABLE- BUT THAT IS
THAT'S- WHY WHERE WE ARE NOW IS
SO DIFFERENT FROM WHERE WE WERE
WHEN WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION
WITH YOU BACK. EARLIER IN MARCH
BREAK THE. KNWING WE KNOW. IN
THE CLASS DAMAGE AN FOR.
INFLICTED NOT SECOND. BUT
SOCIAL SO WHERE THERE'S MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES TO. A CHICKEN
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHILD ABUSE
SUICIDE IN ALCOHOL AND DRUG
ADDICTION. FROM THE STATE HOME
ORDER. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND
CLOSING THE STATE AGAIN SHOULD
WE SEE AN INCREASE IN CASES.
AND IF SO WHAT WOULD BE THE
CRITERIA AND OR BENCHMARKS THAT
YOU WOULD USE TO DETERMINE
CLOSURE. SO WE HAVE PLAYED OUT
INDICATORS THAT WE ARE USING AT
THE STATE LEVEL TO HELP US
UNDERSTAND- BOTH PREPAREDNESS
OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND AND ALSO
TO FOLLOW. MEN OF INFECTION.
WITH A THE STATE OF. WE ARE.
THAT THE PROVISIONS THAT WE IN
PLACE SO FAR HAS BEEN
RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING US TO
WHERE WE ARE NOW AND AS WE ARE
OPENING UP OUR ECONOMY AGAIN
AND AS WE CREATED THESE
PROCESSES OF VARIATIONS FOR.
COUNTIES ARE COUNTIES ALSO NOW
HAVE ASSUME TOO MUCH MORE
RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPAREDNESS
IN THEIR OWN RIGHT AND OUR OUR-
LEADING A LOT THOSE PROCESS
SEES AND FOLLOWING IN
MONITORING WHAT'S GOING ON THE
COMMUNITIES AND- PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICERS ARE MAKING THE
DECISIONS ABOUT THE SPEED
THAT'S APPROPRIATE I WOULD SAY
THAT WE ARE WE ARE ALL AT THE
STATE LEVEL AT THAT. COUNTY
LEVEL OUT BEING AT THE DATA ARE.
CONSTANTLY ASSESSING WHEN WE'RE
MAKE TO SAY ABOUT THE POTENTIAL
FOR OVER UP NEW AREAS ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SAFE FOR
THOSE SIR. AND USE THE DATA TO
US UNDERSTAND WHETHER NOT A-
WOULD BE NEEDED EVERY. A CHANGE
IN OUR CASE. ARE WHEN YOU STAND
ALLIES WHERE THEY COMING FROM
AND UNDER IT TO A- WHAT KINDS
OF. WOULD BE A TO HELP CONTROL
THAT OUT. AS YOU KNOW WE
PUTTING CON TRACE AND HOPE. IN
PLACE AND TRAINING THEM WE I'VE-
REGISTERED. TRACERS SO THERE'S
ALL KINDS OF PREPAREDNESS
PIECES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE
AND WILL BE USING THIS
INFORMATION TO HELP US. DECIDE
AT THE STATE LEVEL AND LOCAL
HEALTH OFFICERS WILL BE USING
THAT INFORMATION TO USE OF THE
LOCAL LEVEL TO UNDERSTAND IT'S
ANY TYPES OF ADDITIONAL-
CHANGES IN THE CURRENT- ORDERS
WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THEM.
THANK YOU. YEAH KNOWING WHAT WE
KNOW NOW WOULD WE HAVE BEEN
BETTER OFF ESTABLISHING SOCIAL
DISTANCING STANDARDS AND
QUARANTINING THOSE THAT WE KNEW
WERE MOST VULNERABLE THE
ELDERLY AND THOSE WITH
UNDERLYING HEALTH ISSUES SWEDEN
DID. THEN ORDERING THIS AT HOME
ORDER. SO YOU KNOW WE EARLY ON
OUR STATE HOME ORDER INCLUDED
VARIES A CLEAR LANGUAGE THAT
PEOPLE WHO ARE OLDER- HAVE
COMORBIDITIES SHOULD SHOULD
STAY AT HOME AND THAT PROVISION
HAD STAYS HAS STAYED IN PLACE
EVEN WITH THE GRADUAL LIFTING
OF OUR STAY AT HOME ORDERS OUR
STATE HOME ORDERS ARE PUT IN
PLACE HOWEVER AT THAT TIME
BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MUCH
POPULATION MOVE. WE WERE SEEING
THE GROWTH AND NEXT WILL GROW
THICKER IS STARTING TO GO IN
THAT THAT WE KNOW IN
EPIDEMIOLOGY SHOWS THAT YOU ARE
AT YOUR HAVING A RATE THAT THAT
REQUIRES ACTION AND SO YOU KNOW
I FEEL LOOKING BACK AT WHERE WE
WERE AND THE ACTION THAT WE
TOOK THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT
THING TO DO. AT THE TIME WE ARE
AND I AM STILL BELIEVE THAT IT
WAS IT IS THE RIGHT THING I
THAT WE DID ALSO. THANK YOU
WHAT A MOVE ON TO SEE TO THE IS
FROM ONE OF MY LOCAL BOARD.
DAVE NOW SENATE TO PRINT SIR.
IN BEING GETTING INTO FROM THE-
AND 50% 50% OF PARENTS WHAT
THEIR THEIR CHILDREN BACK IN
SCHOOL AND 50% DON'T. AND ABOUT
15% SAY THEIR CHILDREN ARE NOT
COMING BACK TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
SO MY QUESTION I GUESS WOULD BE
WHAT QUESTIONS IN DATA SHOULD
FAMILIES CONSIDER ON WHETHER TO
SEND THEIR CHILDREN BACK TO
SCHOOL. SO I UNDERSTAND THIS IS
A VIRUS THAT IS NEW TO US AND
THINGS THAT ARE NEW. AND COME
WITH UNKNOWNS- CAN LEAVE PEOPLE
FEELING A LITTLE BIT. SCARED
SOMETIMES AND ALSO ANXIOUS AND
I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING DURING THIS TIME PERIOD
IS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE
HAVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS
THEY NEED TO MAKE THAT THAT
BEST DECISIONS FOR THEM AND FOR
THEIR CHILDREN I WILL TELL YOU
THAT OVER THE YOU KNOW WE
RELEASED A GUIDANCE. FOR THE
WAYS IN WHICH SCHOOLS WILL BE
REORGANIZED TO AT- TO HELP
REDUCE THE RISK OF INFECTION
AND OVER THE COMING WEEKS
BEFORE SCHOOLS OPEN IT WILL BE
LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PARENTS TO SPEAK IN PARTICULAR
WITH. WTH THEIR- LOCAL PUBLIC
HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND THEIR
SCHOOL SYSTEMS TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT CHANGES WERE PUT IN PLACE
AND TO THINK VERY CLEARLY
ABOUT. ABOUT A WHAT'S BEST FOR
THEIR CHILDREN BUT I WILL TELL
YOU THAT THAT GUY THAT WE PUT
IN PLACE AB IN. AND I AND IT IS
THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAX
THE AND WEALTHY OF ARCH. AND
OUR AND- WOULD NOT BE. AND TING
IT WOULD THINK THAT WE WERE AT
THE RIGHT TIME COMES OF THE
MOVEMENT OF CODE NINETY. TO
CREATE. SCHOOL AND. THE WAY IT
WOULD REDUCE THE FOR COVER
NINETEEN AND AS WE HAVE. SO WHO
IS GOING TO MONITOR AND ENFORCE
THAT- ELEAZAR ACTUALLY PERFORM
THE DUTIES THAT ARE THAT ARE
OUTLINED IN THE GUIDELINES. I
DID ALL OF THIS HAPPENS AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL- AND THE DETAILS OF
THAT I DON'T HAVE FOR YOU BUT I
CERTAINLY CAN GET BACK TO YOU
WITH THEM OKAY GREAT THANK YOU.
MOM WHAT GUIDANCE IS BEING
GIVEN AS FAR AS IN INSURING
MITIGATION PLANS ARE IN PLACE
AT A STUDENT STAFF MEMBER
TEACHER OR RELATED FAMILY
MEMBER TEST POSITIVE FOR KOBE
NINETEEN. SO ALL OF THAT
GUIDANCE IS B. IS BEING
DEVELOPED IN THE SCHOOL
ENVIRONMENT WE ALSO HAVE IT FOR
THE WORK ENVIRONMENT AND IT
INCLUDES- INFORMATION IN THERE
THAT YOU'LL SEE ABOUT. IF
SOMEBODY TEST POSITIVE- TO
EVALUATE AND ASSESS CLOSE
CONTACTS OF THAT INDIVIDUAL
MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR
NOT THAT INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE.
WARRANTY AND IF THERE. OUR
CONTACT OR OR ISOLATED IT- IF%
THEY'RE POSITIVE AND- AND THEN
THE KIND OF DISINFECTING THAT
NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN THE SCHOOLS
AS WELL SO ALL OF THAT IS
CLEARLY OUTLINED IN THERE AND
IS VERY CRITICAL LAST THANK YOU
MOVE ON TO A COUPLE OF THE
BUSINESS QUESTIONS SO I KNOW
YOU'RE YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS
LIKE IT YOU KNOW MADE A DATA
AND ALL THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE
FRONT LINES DEALING WITH.
PEOPLE AND I CANNOT TELL YOU
HOW MANY TIMES I CONVERSATION
AS WITH GROWN SUCCESSFUL MAN
CRYING. BECAUSE THEY WERE THEY
WERE LOSING THEIR BUSINESS. AND
A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE THAN
PEOPLE THAT HAVE INFORMATION
SELECT PEOPLE WHO KNEW ME SO I
HAD SITUATIONS WHERE AT CAR
DEALERSHIPS. THE LOCAL THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE LOCAL OWNERS WHO
KNEW ME. FOR CLOTHES BECAUSE
THEY KNEW THEY HAD TO CLOSE AND
RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IS SOME
YOU KNOW CORPORATE. CAR
DEALERSHIP THAT YOU KNOW
THEY'RE HEADQUARTERED IN
FLORIDA AND THEY'RE OPEN.
BECAUSE A LOT OF FRUSTRATION
AND I DON'T REALLY BLAME THAT
ON ANYBODY BECAUSE THIS WAS ALL
NEW TO US. BUT BUSH'S THIS
LOCAL BUSINESSES BEGIN TO RE
OPEN THAT THEY WANT TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS EXPECTED OF
THEM AND DO WHAT IS SAFE FOR
THEIR EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS
IN MANY CASES THERE'S OVERLAP
IN FEDERAL STATE AND LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS BUSINESSES
NERVOUS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO
COMPLY ESPECIALLY CAN INCIDENTS
WHERE THE BAKER I CLEAR
DIRECTIVES SO HOW WAS THE
DEPARTMENT COORDINATING WITH
LOCAL COUNTY INSPECTORS THANK
YOU KIDDING WITH BUSINESS WHEN
THERE IS A JURISDICTIONAL
OVERLAP. STILL IN THE STATE
LEVEL WE PUT OUT GUIDANCE FOR
SECTORS AS THEIR RE OPENING AND
THAT IS POSTED ONLINE THAT
PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT
KINDS OF MODIFICATIONS SHOULD
BE MADE FOR A SECTOR TO OPEN.
ULTIMATELY THE LOCAL PUBLIC
HEALTH OFFICER THOUGH IS THE
INDIVIDUAL WHO JUST SA IT
MAKES THE DECISION ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT IT IS
APPROPRIATE FOR THAT SECTOR TO
BE OPENED IN THAT. BECAUSE THAT
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER HAS THE
BEST INFORMATION ABOUT THE
MOVEMENT OF DISEASES THAT
COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS BEST
WHETHER OR NOT. THE RIGHT
MOMENT FOR THEM SO THAT
DECISION IS REALLY BEING MADE
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. NOW IF
THERE'S OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE JURISDICTIONAL- DECISION
MAKING I THINK IT WOULD PERHAPS
VERY IF THERE'S SPECIFIC
SECTORS THAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT AND I CAN GET BACK TO YOU
ON THE DETAILS OF THAT BUT IN%
GENERAL THAT'S THE WAY THE
SECTOR DECISIONS ARE MADE ON
THE RESPONSIBILITIES MCCARTY.
THANK YOU. NOW THE STATUS GIVEN
APPROVAL FOR AMUSEMENT PARKS TO
OPEN- BEGINNING JULY
SEVENTEENTH. YET ARE WONDERFUL-
COUNTY STATE FAIRS WHICH HAVE A
LARGE YOUTH EDUCATIONAL
COMPONENT TO THEIR PROGRAMMING.
ARE STILL WAITING FOR
GUIDELINES TO BE ISSUE. DO YOU
HAVE ANY IDEA WELL WHEN THOSE
MIGHT OCCUR. SO I DON'T HAVE SO
WHEN WE MAKE DECISIONS IS
REALLY FOLLOWING THE DAY SO I
ALSO- THE DATE THAT YOU HAVE
ABOUT- PARKS OPENING AND OTHERS
WE WILL NEED TO CONFIRM ALL OF
THAT- AND WE DON'T HAVE A
SPECIFIC DATE. OUT OUTSIDE FOR
THESE OTHER SECTORS RIGHT NOW
WE'RE FOLLOWING THE DATA AND
HAS IT BECOMES AS WE RECOGNIZE.
THAT DIFFERENT SECTORS ARE
READY TO OPEN AND THEN WE'LL
MAKE THAT INFORMATION
AVAILABLE. SO WHAT'S THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FAIR IN
LET'S SAY MAGIC MOUNTAIN OR
DISNEY LAND. YEAH SO THE
GUIDANCE FOR- FOR- PARKS TO
OPEN HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET
OKAY I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL RIGHT.
OKAY VERY GOOD THANK YOU.
MOVING ON THIS IS FROM NUMBER
QUESTIONS FROM AND ANOTHER
SENATOR SO- WHY ARE WE NOT
DOING REGULAR SCIENTIFICALLY
MONITOR TESTS ARE RANDOM
SAMPLES OF THE POPULATION TO
SHOW THE EXTENT OF A
SYMPTOMATIC INFECTIONS OVER ON
SECTIONS AND THE RATE OF SPREAD.
SO THIS IS A FUNDAMENTAL PUBLIC
HEALTH PRACTICE TO DO
SURVEILLANCE TO UNDERSTAND THE
SPREAD OF DISEASE ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES WE'VE HAD
OUR- IN GAME CALIFORNIA AND
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES HAS
BEEN VERY LIMITED SUPPLIES AND
LACK OF ACCESS TO TESTING. SO
CALIFORNIA THAT WAS VERY
PROACTIVE CREATING A TESTING
TASK FORCE WHICH HAS WORKED
AGGRESSIVELY THROUGH PRIVATE
PART OF PRIVATE PUBLIC
PARTNERSHIPS WORKING WITH OUR-
ACADEMIC PARTNERS AS WELL TO
REALLY RAMP UP TESTING AND
TODAY WE ARE AT OUR GOAL AND WE
CONTINUE TO INCREASE WERE OVER
SIXTY THOUSAND. TEST THE DAY
WHICH IS WHERE WE NEED TO BE WE
NEEDED TO HAVE ADEQUATE TESTING
HOWEVER TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF
PEOPLE WHO NEEDED THE
INFORMATION FOR A MEDICAL
DECISION MAKING AND ALSO WE
PRIORITIZED FRONT LINE HEALTH
CARE WORKERS. AND OTHERS AROUND
CONCRETE SETTINGS ON IT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THOSE WHO ARE AT
GREATEST RISK WOULD BE
PROTECTED SO THAT IS WHERE WE
HAVE TARGETED OUR TESTING TO
DATE. AS HAS BECOME MORE
AVAILABLE WE ARE PUTTING IN
PLACE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS JUST
TO WHAT YOU ARE SPEAKING TO
THAT WILL ALLOW US TO
UNDERSTAND BETTER THE SPREAD OF
DISEASE ACROSS THE STATE. GOOD
IDEA OF WHERE I CLOSE NINETY
THE HIGH SPOTS ARE BECAUSE OF
WHEN THERE IS- TESTING NEEDED.
A FAIR AMOUNT OF TESTING GETS
DONE AND WE UNDERSTAND THE
LEVEL AND SO FOR EXAMPLE WE'VE
BEEN CUT FOLLOWING- THE TEST
POSITIVITY WHICH HELPS US
UNDERSTAND. THE KEEPING KEEPING
IN MIND ALSO THE LEVEL OF
TESTING. THAT THE RATE OF-
CASES IN A COUNTY AND THAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO US AT THE
COUNTY LEVEL AND STATE LEVEL
AND WILL BE MOVING FORWARD AND
YOU'LL HEAR MORE. FROM US- IN
IN THE IN THEIR NEW YOU'RE NEAR
FUTURE ABOUT SURVEILLANCE AND-
MORE INFORMATION THA WILL BE
COMING AS TESTING BECOMES MORE
BROADLY IS AVAILABLE GREAT
THANK YOU. I NURSING HOMES
VULNERABILITIES HAVE BEEN KNOWN
FOR MONTHS DESPITE THING THAT
THEY ARE PRIORITY FOR TESTING
WHERE WE ARE TESTING EVERY
RESIDENTS STEP PERSON ON A
REGULAR BASIS. SO IT OF IT IS
BECAUSE OF THE- PRIOR VERY
LIMITED TESTING- CAPACITY THAT
WE HAD BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE PUT
IN PLACE NOW POLICIES. FOR
TESTING EVERY INDIVIDUAL IN
EVERY IN NOT. ILL NURSING
FACILITY THROUGHOUT THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA SO BASELINE
TESTING. IT HAS BEEN- I.
REQUIRED IN THAT AND ALSO THESE
LETTER WHICH GOES OUT TO-
LICENSED FACILITIES THAT THEY
WILL BE DOING TESTING NOT ONLY
OF EVERY RESIDENT BUT ALSO- THE
HEALTHCARE WORKERS AS WELL AND
THEN THERE IS A MECHANISM IS
PUT IN PLACE IF A POSITIVE TEST
IS FOUND WHAT THE HELL OFTEN
REPEATING- TEST WILL NEED TO BE
DONE. AND IF I'M- IF NO CASES
ARE FOUND. THEY WILL ALSO HAVE
TO CONTINUE. TESTING SUBSETS OF
THOSE EMPLOYEES. TO MAKE SURE
THAT THERE ARE NO NEW CASES
INTRODUCED SO WE ARE ON A PATH
RIGHT NOW WE'RE MOVING
AGGRESSIVELY THROUGH THIS AND
WE REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT
TESTING IS ESSENTIAL IN THOSE
ENVIRONMENTS AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE READ DIRECTING A LOT OF
OUR TESTING RESOURCES RIGHT
NOW. GREAT THANK YOU ARE
DELIVERING THE INSTRUCTION RATE
REMAIN THE TOP STATE GOAL OR
HAS BEEN REALLY REPLACE WITH
THE DESIRE TO RE OPEN THE
ECONOMY EVEN IF THE INFECTION
RATES GO UP. IF SO HOW HIGHER
RATE WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE. SO WE
HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE SINCE WE
STARTED OPENING SECTORS THAT
ASK PEOPLE MOVE MORE MORE
PEOPLE WILL GET INFECTED WHICH
ALSO MEANS OUR CARE DELIVERY
SYSTEM. HAS TO BE ON THE READY
AND IT ALSO MEANS THAT ARE
CONTINUING MONITORING OF THE
CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND THE
NUMBER OF. PATIENTS THAT ARE
ADMITTED NAY NUMBER OF
INDIVIDUALS AND I SEE YOU
CONTINUES. A DAILY ALONG WITH
ALL OF THE OTHER A MONITORING-
THAT WE'RE DOING. THERE IS NOT
A SET NUMBER OF SOME LEVEL OF
INDIVIDUALS THAT IT'S OKAY TO
BE INFECTED THAT'S NOT A WAY TO
DO PUBLIC HEALTH IT'S NOT A
WAY. TO MAKE PUBLIC HEALTH
DECISIONS BUT IT IS. QUESTION
MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT SECTORS
RE OPENING SO THAT PEOPLE CAN
CONTINUE TO MOVE THAT PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY IN TERMS OF
MAKING SURE THAT WHEN YOUR OUT
YOU USED TO FACE COVERINGS WHEN
YOU'RE A PUBLIC THAT YOU KEEP
THAT DISTANCE THEN THAT YOU
WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY IS
REALLY GOING TO BE THE THING
THAT ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS TO TAKE
CONTROL ABOUT. THEIR LEVEL OF
RISK- EVERY DAY WHEN THEY AKE
A DECISION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT
LEAVE THE HOUSE. FURTHERMORE IN
OUR WORK ENVIRONMENT THE
GUIDANCE THAT WE'VE PUT OUT
IT'S ALSO BEEN CREATED IN A
WAY. THAT WOULD HELP REDUCE THE
RISK FOR COVERT NINETEEN BUT AS
WE MOVE MORE THE RISK WILL.
CONTINUE TO BE THERE AND SO WE
ARE ON THE READY IN CASE HERE
ARE MORE CASES TO BE ABLE TO
DETECT THEM AND ALSO TO RESPOND
WITH OUR CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM.
THANK YOU THIS KIND OF A RANDOM
QUESTION BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS.
NINETY FIVE MASS TO THE
COMPARED. NINETY FIVE MASS
BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS
THERE'S A LOT MORE SOURCES. OF
CAYENNE NINETY FIVE SO.
BASICALLY THAT OPEN ENDED FOR
YOU. YEAH THAT'S A VERY
TECHNICAL QUESTION THAT I'LL
NEED TO GET BACK TO YOU ON BUT
IT CERTAINLY RELATES TO LIKE
THE FIT AND APPROVAL- OF THOSE
OF THOSE NOW. WE'RE GETTING
NEAR THE END I AND I APOLOGIZE
TO EVERYBODY BUT- THESE ARE
QUESTIONS THAT SENATORS YOU
KNOW WANTED ASKS AND WHEN I'M
HAPPY TO BE THEIR VOICE. SO YOU
MENTIONED EARLIER THAT- ON
MARCH NINETEENTH AND I KNOW I
WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD I WAS
WATCHING EVERYTHING ON TV WHEN
THE GOVERNOR ANNOUNCED A- YOU
KNOW. THE STATE HOME ORDER. AND
AS WE'VE GONE ALONG ALSO I KNOW
THESE YOU KNOW THESE DIFFERENT
OPENING UP TO WHATEVER HAPPENS.
SO CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THE
PROCESS I MEAN OBVIOUSLY HE'S
HE'S THE FINAL DETERMINANT ON
THAT BUT- IS THERE SOMETHING
WHERE. YOU DECIDED YOU YOU TELL
HAMMERS- TEAM OR- HOW DO YOU
HOW DO YOU MAKE THOSE
DETERMINATIONS AND WHO
ULTIMATELY BESIDES THE GOVERNOR
HAS THE FINAL CALL. I'M SORRY
SENATOR YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE STAY HOME ORDER YES. AND
YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT YOU
THE ONE THAT MADE THE CALL IN
THE NINETEENTH AND SO AS WE'VE
PROGRESSED. WHAT'S WHAT'S THE
PROCESS FOR DETERMINING HOW WE
OPEN UP. OKAY SO AS SO- AS THE
STATE PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER
AND- I AM THE ONE THAT WRITES
THE ORDERED TO STAY HOME ORDER
AND AS IT GETS MODIFIED THOSE
MODIFICATIONS NEED TO BE
CHANGED. I NEED TO. PUT OUT A
NEW ORDER IF IT'S DIFFERENT
THAN THE EXISTING ORDER SO
WHILE I DO SIGN THE ORDER AS A
DIRECTOR OF THE- CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT PUBLIC HEALTH AND
STATE PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER.
THAT DECISION IS MADE- BASED
UPON OUR- THE LA CONVERSATIONS
WITH EXPERTS ACROSS MY
DEPARTMENTS- WE ARE LOOKING AT
THE DATA AND- WE'RE TALKING-
NOT ONLY AMONGST OURSELVES BUT
WE ARE ALSO WORKING. THROUGH
OUR AGENCY WITH SECRETARY
DOLLY. WE ARE HAVING A
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CENTERS
FOR DISEASE CONTROL WE'RE WE'RE
INTEGRATING ALL OF THE DATA
THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST
DECISION- WHILE I SIGNED THE
PUBLIC HEALTH OFF. ORDER OF
COURSE IT IS. AS THE DIRECTOR
OF A TECHNICAL AGENCY I IN
GIVING TECHNICAL ADVICE TO THE
GOVERNOR'S FOR HIS ULTIMATE
DECISION MATING MAKING AS USE
INTEGRATING INFORMATION ACROSS
ALL OF GOVERNMENT BUT I'M
PROVIDING A TECHNICAL
RECOMMENDATION. FOR OUT FOR AN
OR IN THE CASE OF THE STATE
HOME ORDER THAT A STAY IN ORDER
WOULD BE RECOMMENDED AND THEN
ULTIMATELY. THAT DECISION IS
MADE I DO I AM THE ONE THAT
SIGNED IN TERMS OF THE DISK.
THAT YOU. ARE MOVING FORWARD
IT'S VERY MUCH THE SAME PROCESS
WE HAVE COMMITTED TO ANCHORING
OUR DECISIONS BASED UPON THE
DATA WE SHARED WITH YOUR SIX
INDICATORS THAT WE USE GOING
FORWARD TO UNDERSTAND THE
STABILITY. OF ARE CARE DELIVERY
SYSTEM. THE AMOUNT OF
PREPARATION AND PREPAREDNESS WE
HAVE ACROSS THE STATE- BROADLY
AND THEN ALSO IT COUNTY LEVELS
WERE ALSO WATCHING THAT VERY
CAREFULLY AND SO THOSE
DECISIONS ARE ALL MADE BY
INTEGRATING THE DATA AND
THINKING. ABOUT A FIRST AS WE
ROLLED OUT OR AS WE DESCRIBED
IN OUR PANDEMIC ROAD MAP. THAT
THE DIFFERENT STAGES THAT FIRST
PHASE IS THE FIRST LOOK AT
LOWER RISK- WORK ENVIRONMENT
DOES WORK ENVIRONMENTS THAT
WITH MODIFICATION- COULD OPEN
EARLIER AND THEN WE'VE BEEN
BUILDING OUT TO THOSE THAT MAY
BE- MORE RISKY MORE RISKY
BECAUSE THEY RE IN. SALT IF.
POPULATION AND SO AGAIN THAT
INFORMATION IS BEING USED AND
SYNTHESIZED OUT TO MAKE THOSE
DECISIONS USING THE BEST
EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE FOR
KEEPING CALIFORNIANS HEALTHY
GREAT THANK YOU FINAL. I WANT
TO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL
THE TIME YOU USE USE THAT SPENT
WITH US TODAY I DO WANT TO
SHOOT A FINAL QUESTION- CENTER
BASE TO TALK EARLY ON ABOUT YOU
KNOW A VACCINE AND NOT ME I.
WORK HEARING ALL THESE TIME
LINES AND THEY SEEM VERY-
AMBITIOUS TO ME BUT DO YOU
BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A
WORKING VACCINE IN PLACE BEFORE
WE CAN COMPLETELY OPEN UP
CALIFORNIA. YOU KNOW I THINK.
PART OF THIS IS THAT WE MUST
HAVE TREATMENT AND THERAPY AT A
MINIMUM TO BE ABLE TO- TO BE
ABLE TO. EAT AT. I MEAN STEP
WISE PROCESS RIGHT SO. SO AT
THIS TIME THE TREATMENTS THAT
WE HAVE REALLY ARE. VERY
LIMITED. AND THEY ARE FOCUSED
ON WHEN PEOPLE ARE VERY SICK.
SO AS MORE TREATMENTS
POTENTIALLY BECOME AVAILABLE
THAT MIGHT BE YEARS EARLIER-
MIGHT EVEN BE USED FOR A
SYMPTOMATIC PEOPLE THERE MIGHT
BE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN
THINK ABOUT HOW MEDICAL
TREATMENTS. A MEDICAL
INTERVENTIONS BE THE VACCINE
OR- TREATMENTS. MAY PROVIDE US
THE OPPORTUNITY TO- TO. TO OPEN
UP OR MAKE DECISIONS A LITTLE
DIFFERENTLY. WE CAN'T. WHEN IT
HAPPENED- BUT WE HAVE BEEN VERY
CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING THAT
AS LONG AS A LARGE POPULATION
IN CALIFORNIA. REMAINS THE
VULNERABLE TO THIS VIRUS. ARE
RETURNING TO WAIT THE WAY IT
WAS BEFORE WILL BE EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT AND UNLIKELY. ARE
REALLY YOUR ANSWERS IN YOUR
TIME THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELCOME THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISTER VICE CHAIRMAN LET ME GO
TO SENATOR ROTH. THANK YOU
MAYOR PRO TEM. DOCTOR GOOD
AFTERNOON AFTERNOON DISAPPEARED
FROM MY SCREEN I KNOW I I'M
HAVING THE SAME- I CAN'T SEE
YOU EITHER I'M SEARCHING. NO NO
YOU DISAPPEARED AGAIN I. WELL
ONE THOUGH SO WE CAN CONTINUE I
WAS GOING TO SAY
CONGRATULATIONS BUT HAVING.
SITTING HERE FOR A WHILE I
THINK CONDOLENCES MIGHT BE IN
ORDER. BUT WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO
HAVE YOU AND I THINK YOU. YOU
DESERVE NOT TO HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS FOR ME SO LET ME JUST
MAKE ONE ONE COMMENT YOU KNOW
THERE'S CERTAIN ASPECTS OF OUR
ECONOMY AND OUR SOCIETY. THAT
DON'T. TURN ON WITH A LIGHT
SWITCH THEN I REALIZE IT'S
DIFFICULT TO PLAN WITH THIS
COVERT NINETEEN. BUT IN THE
FUTURE WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE
A LITTLE BIT MORE
PREDICTABILITY WHEN IT COMES TO
CONVENTIONS AND CONVENTION
CENTERS OR EVEN OUR-
INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER
EDUCATION. IF AT SOME POINT YOU
CAN AS A DEPARTMENT AND
CALIFORNIA'S THE STATE CAN
PROVIDE TARGET DATES FOR RE
OPENING I THINK THAT WOULD BE
VALUABLE. IN TERMS OF
PREDICTABILITY AND ALLOWING
THESE INSTITUTIONS WHETHER IT'S
A VISITORS AND CONVENTION
CENTER OR WORK WHETHER IT'S A
COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY BUT TO
BEGIN TO PLAN TO BRING PEOPLE
BACK TO THAT PARTICULAR OF
VENUE WHERE THAT PARTICULAR
FORUM SO. I JUST WANT TO TELL
YOU HOW APPRECIATIVE I AM OF
THE THOUGHTFUL WAY THAT YOU AND
THE GOVERNOR AND THE
ADMINISTRATION HAVE BEEN
ROLLING OUT OF THE RE OPENING-
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU
HAVE THE STICK. AND YOU'RE
TAKING CARE OF US AND PAYING
ATTENTION TO OUR HEALTH AND
SAFETY SO WITH THAT I HAVE NO
QUESTIONS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
MOVING YOUR CONFIRMATION AT THE
APPROPRIATE POINT IN TIME.
THANK YOU SENATOR THANK YOU SO
MUCH SENATOR ROTH AYE AND- YEAH
I YOU GOTTA FIGURE WHICH SCREEN
TO LOOK AT- SO I ALSO WANT TO
ADD MY CONGRATULATIONS ODD
NOTICING THAT YOU WERE HERE
PROBABLY ABOUT FIVE MONTHS OF A
WHEN WE EXPERIENCE MID MARCH
AND- THE PANDEMIC IN FRONT OF
US. I HOPE IT ALLOWED YOU TO
GET YOUR BEARINGS BEFORE YOU
HAD TO SHIFT INTO SUPER HIGH
GEAR- I THINK MY COLLEAGUES OF
ASK ALMOST ANY QUESTION I COULD.
I ACTUALLY. AS FACILITATOR
CHAIR IT MAKES MY JOB EASIER I
ONLY HAVE ONE LAST AUDIT TOPIC
AND I KNOW THAT IT'S SOMETHING
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH BECAUSE
THERE WAS FEEDBACK I TO THE
ADMINISTRATION AND I KNOW HAT
I'VE HEARD THE GOVERNOR COMMENT
ON IT BUT- EARLY ON- IN EARLY
OR WILL MARCH SOON AFTER MY
COLLEAGUES AND I WENT HOME OUR
AND RECESSED. I GOT A COUPLE OF
ARTICLES FOR MEMBERS OF MY
COMMUNITY FROM THE LGBTQ
COMMUNITY AND THEY WERE SAYING
TO ME THAT ARE MEMBERS OF MY
COMMUNITY WERE AT HIGHER RISK
OF CODE NINETEEN WILL OF COURSE
I AM I DON'T HAVE THAT DATA SO
I HAD MY HI HEALTH STAFF
CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH AND IN FACT THEY
TOLD US NO THEY THERE WAS NO
EVIDENCE- IT I BELIEVE AND GO
INTO THE DATA AND THE ARE THE
EXPERTS. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY
THAT- NOT KEEPING THE DATA AS
IT RELATES TO LGBT Q. NON
BINARY- INDIVIDUALS ALTHOUGH I
RECOGNIZE THE DIFFICULTY- AS
YOU ARE IN CAN BRING SOMETHING
THAT WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE A
PANDEMIC THAT BECAME VERY. OUR
EVIDENT VERY QUICKLY THAT WE
OBVIOUSLY HAD A REAL PROBLEM.
BUT ARE SO HOW YOU'RE PREPARED
TO COLLECT DATA AND DO THAT BUT-
YOU KNOW FROM HISTORY ARE THOSE
FROM OUR MARGINALIZE MINORITY
ETHNIC COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS
GENDER. HISTORICALLY WOMEN.
HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE DATA
AND THE STUDIES AND THE NUMBER
SO IT'S VERY HARD FOR US TO.
DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS FROM THAT
SO I JUST KIND OF WOULD LIKE
YOU TO RESPOND TO THE- ISSUE OF
LGBT Q. OUR DATA RELATED TO THE
NUMBERS OF COVERT NINETEEN. AND
ALSO AT MOVING FORWARD I HAD A
WE INTEND TO. ADDRESS THAT
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES. YEAH A LOOK AT- WE
WON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO RESPOND
TO HEALTH INEQUITIES OF WE'RE
NOT MEASURING THEM WE WON'T
FIND THEM SO WHAT WE DON'T
COLLECT IS AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT
WE DO COLLECT. AND WHEN WE SEE
GAPS WE NEED TO BE PROACTIVE
ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE
DEVELOP MECHANISMS TO BE ABLE
TO COLLECT THAT DATA TO
UNDERSTAND IT AND I THINK WHEN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LGBT Q.
MORE TALK ABOUT RACE ETHNICITY
WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE
THINGS THAT WE KNOW ARE SO
IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY OUR-
STATE VALUES THESE ARE AREAS
THAT WE NEED TO LOOK. VERY
CLOSELY AT SO I CAN TELL YOU
I'M COMMITTED MY DEPARTMENT IS
COMMITTED TO LOOKING ACROSS-
OUR DATA SOURCES AND
UNDERSTANDING WHAT. WHERE DATA
IS BEING COLLECTED AND WHEN
IT'S NOT ON HOW CAN WE AND IF
IT'S POSSIBLE. TO ADDRESS THOSE
GAPS- WHEN IT COMES TO- SEXUAL
ORIENTATION AND GENDER I.
IDENTITY INFORMATION AROUND THE
LGBT. TATE ARGUE COMMUNITY AND
MAKING SURE THAT WE-
UNDERSTAND- WE HAVE BEEN
LOOKING AT. WITH THROUGH THE
LENS OF COVERED NINETEEN RIGHT
NOW THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATA
SOURCES THAT WE HAVE. AN
UNDERSTANDING HOW WE MIGHT BE
ABLE TO PUT PROVISIONS IN PLACE
THAT WOULD HELP US COLLECT THAT
THAT INFORMATION- UP FOR ONE
EXAMPLE IN CONTACT RAISING- YOU
KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
WE'RE WRAPPING UP ACROSS THE-
STATE. I EVERY COUNTY. THAT
FIFTY ONE COUNTIES TO AT THIS
POINT I KNOW ARE INTERESTED IN
USING OUR PLATFORM. AND MOVING
FORWARD AND- WE ARE MAKING THAT
PLATFORM AVAILABLE TO THEM AND
THROUGH THE DESIGN AND MODEL OF
OUR CONTACT TRACING- THE
QUESTIONS THAT WE PUT IN THERE
THAT ARE PART OF THE STANDARD
QUESTIONS WILL INCLUDE
QUESTIONS THAT WILL HELP US
UNDERSTAND THIS COMMUNITY
BETTER. AND SO AS WE MOVE
FORWARD THROUGH- COVERED
NINETEEN THIS INFORMATIONAL
BECOME RIGHT MORE READILY
AVAILABLE THAT WILL HELP US
UNDERSTAND- WITH WHAT THE RISKS
ARE OR MAY NOT BE WHERE ARE.
WHERE ARE COMMUNITIES RESILIENT
AND WHERE ARE THEY NOT
RESILIENT WHERE DO WE NEED TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES.
TO HELP US REALLY- ADDRESS
THOSE ISSUES. THAT'S RECORDED
NINETEEN BUT I THINK YOU CAN
IMAGINE THAT ONCE WE PUT IN
PLACE FOR KOBE NINETEEN CONTACT
TRACING- THAT THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN MODEL AND TRY TO
UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN. CARRY
THAT FORWARD IN OUR WORK EVEN
BEYOND COVERT NINETEEN WERE ALL
COMPETENT AT SOME POINT WE WILL
BE BEYOND COVERED NINETEEN. BUT
WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT MOST
EXCELLENT PRACTICES AND
LEARNING IS THAT WE HAVE FROM
THIS EXPERIENCE AND SO WE WILL
CARRY THAT ORDERED AS WELL. DR
THANK YOU I THINK YOU AT THE
VERY END YOU HIT THE POINT THAT
I WAS GOING TO GO TO NEXT WHICH
IS. IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO.
KIND OF. PUT THAT IN PRACTICE
GOING FORWARD. WITHOUT HAVING
TO DO A. PIECE OF LEGISLATION
OR BUILD MANDATE BUT THAT IS
WHAT EVERY CAN. IS TO DO IN THE-
FIVE NOT JUST IN. BUT EL. AND
WE KNOW THAT CALIFORNIA IS. YOU
KNOW FRANKLY GIVEN OUR UC
SYSTEM OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
EVERYTHING HERE- PUTS US IN A
POSITION TO BE CUTTING EDGE AND
HELP OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
IN THE WORLD AND SO. I
APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWER ON THAT-
VERY MUCH BECAUSE IT'S SO
MEANINGFUL. TO US SO MANY OF MY
CONSTITUENTS IN CALIFORNIANS SO
THANK YOU FOR THAT. I'M MORE.
LET THE SENATOR BATES HAS ONE
MORE COMMENT OR QUESTION DOCTOR
ANGEL SO LET ME TURN IT OVER TO
HER FOLLOWED BY A DURING THE
QUESTIONING- FROM ALL OF THE
GOOD VICE CHAIR. REGARDING THE
DATA AND I THINK IT'S A REALLY
IMPORTANT QUESTION REGARDING
THE DATA THAT'S USED FOR
OPENING UP. A VERY A FIVE
FACILITIES AND NOW I
ENTERTAINMENTS IN CALIFORNIA
THERE WAS A BIG A PROBLEM IN
ORANGE COUNTY WHEN OUR BEACHES
WHERE IT OPENED AND YET LOS
ANGELES COUNTY'S BEACHES WERE.
THEY HAD A HIGHER- DEATH RATE
THEY HAD A HIGHER AYE INFECTION
RATE A HIGHER- HOSPITALIZATION
RATE. SO THE CONSTITUENTS GET
UPSET WHEN THERE IS KIND OF A
COOKIE CUTTER APROACH. TO AND
IF YOU CAN OPEN AND NOT OPEN
AND THE E. R. COMMUNITIES HAVE
NOT ON. THOSE HIGH NUMBERS HAVE
BEEN YOU KNOW VERY DIFFERENT
DISENGAGE AND ARE SUPPORTING.
OUR HEALTH WORKERS SO ARE YOU
IS THE BEACH EGGS HOLD BECAUSE
THERE WAS NO REASON THAT ORANGE
COUNTY'S BEACHES COULDN'T
OPENED AT THE SAME TIME THAT
STILL QUESTIONABLE BY.
COMMUNITY THAT HAD HIGHER RATE
FOR OPENED IN A WE WERE NOT
ALLOWED TO. SO I GET FIFTH
MAYBE NOT A QUESTION CIVIC
DURING BILL BUT. NO REQUIRE
GOING FORWARD. YEAH THERE IS
MORE OF A- INDEPENDENT VIEW OF
THE DAY **** FROM A COULD. SO
THOSE WHO ARE AND I KNOW ACT.
IS DEALING WITH SOME ABOUT
PRESENTLY BECAUSE I'VE READ
MOST OF THOSE REPORTS BUT I
THINK IT'S REAL IMPORTANT FOR
THE COMMUNICATION TO COME OUT
ABOUT YOU WILL BE LOOKING MORE
AT OUT THOSE SPECIFIC. DATA IN
REACHING THOSE DATA POINTS
BEFORE YOU CAN OPEN AND I THINK
THAT'S GOING TO GIVE SOME
CONFIDENCE A TO COMMUNITIES AND
IN PARTICULAR BUSINESSES
BECAUSE BUSINESSES FOLLOWING
THE GUIDANCE OF FAIR THEY
SHOULD NOT IN ANY WAY. BE HELD
BACK NOT NOT TO OPEN JUST
BECAUSE SOME COMMUNITY AROUND
THEM IS NOT OPENING AND I THINK
THAT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN
TERMS OF THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL
GETTING CONSUMERS BACK A TO OUR
BUSINESS SAW MARKETPLACE IN
ENSURING THAT THE BE ALL
COMMUNITIES INDIVIDUAL WHO THE
CONSUMER SPECIFICALLY. ARE
ABIDING BY THE RULES
REGULATIONS THAT THAT
BUSINESSES HAVE TO PUT OUT
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF
THIS DISENCHANTMENT IS
HAPPENING THAT THERE SEEMS TO
BE A COOKIE CUTTER APPROACH
COMING OUT OF THE STATE AND
THEN EACH. MONEY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT IS EITHER GOING TO
ABIDE BY THOSE STRICTLY BECAUSE
THEY'RE AFRAID OF SOME
LIABILITY WHEN YOU'RE TELLING
US THAT THEY HAVE INDIVIDUAL
FORTY TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS
SO I THINK THE COMMUNICATION
BEEN POOR AND I'M GOING OUT THE
COMMITTEE I SERVE ON. I WILL BE
BRINGING OUT UP THAT THERE HAS
TO BE SOME STANDARDS IF THE
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER HAS THE
RESPONSIBILITY THEN THEY SHOULD
BE BACKED UP BY A STATE THAT
THEY CAN USE THAT DATA AND NOT-
THAT COMES IN A GUIDANCE AS TO
GENERAL WERE TOO RESTRICTIVE.
IN TERMS OF WHETHER THAT
PARTICULAR AREA OPEN NOT OPEN
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US FEET
OF. LEGISLATORS AND ANSWER ANY
THE PRESENT SORRY FOR THE TRY

ONLY JUST YOU ARE STATE TO THE
COUNTRY INTO OUR WORLD AND I

DISCUSSED JUST THE CHALLENGE OF.
ALLEN SING FIRST AMENDMENT
RIGHT SAN THE UNIVERSITIES
BEING. SOME THE CENTERPIECE FOR
THE EXERCISE OF FREE SPEECH BUT
ALSO BY SOME WHO SEEK TO
DISRUPT AND IN SOME CASES
PROVOKE OR COMMIT VIOLENCE HOW
HOW DOES THE UNIVERSITY
MAINTAIN THAT APPROPRIATE
BALANCE OF PROTECTING STUDENTS
STAFF AND FACULTY WHILE ALSO
PROTECTING FREE SPEECH RIGHTS.

RESPONSIBILITY. TO PROTECT
THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH ON OUR
CAMPUSES IT REALLY HAS THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO CELEBRATE
THAT FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AND
SOMETIMES THAT'S NOT SO EASY
AND WE'RE SAYING THAT AND WE'VE
INVITED FOLKS ON OUR CAMPUSES
BEFORE AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO
DO SO. WHO SPEECH WE MAY NOT
AGREE WITH. AND WHOSE POINT OF
YOU MAY BE VERY DIFFERENT THAN
OUR OWN AND- SPEECH WE MAY
ACTUALLY AB FOR BUT WE MUST
PROTECT THAT FREEDOM OF SPEECH
AS IS GUARANTEED. BY THE FIRST
AMENDMENT NOW OF COURSE WE HAVE
TO ALWAYS BALANCED OUT WITH THE
SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS. OF OUR
FACULTY ARE WORKERS ON CAMPUS
AND SO THEY WILL HAVE TO THE
GUARD RAIL. WE WILL TO
SOMETIMES RISK. THAT AT TO
CERTAIN. THAT THE CAMPUS AT
CERTAIN TIMES- AND OF COURSE
ANY KIND OF SPEECH THAT INCITES
VIOLENCE AND SHOULD NOT AND
WILL NOT BE PROTECTED- ON THE
CAMPUS SAYS AND I FEEL VERY
VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THAT. THANK
