MORNING HONORABLE MEMBERS OF
THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THE
IMPERIAL COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENT TO SHARE. A FEW
WORDS IMPERIAL COUNTY AS YOU
MAY KNOW IS A CHRONICALLY
DISADVANTAGED UNDERSERVED AND
UNDER FUNDED COMMUNITY. IT'S NO
SECRET THAT PRIOR TO THIS
PANDEMIC THE COUNTY WAS ALREADY
IN DIRE NEED FOR RESOURCES.
ONLY NINETEEN JUST CAME ALONG
TO AGGRAVATE IT SITUATION.
TODAY WE HAVE STATE AND
NATIONAL ATTENTION ATTENTION WE
WISH IT WAS FOR REASONS OTHER
THAN TO DISCUSS THE GRIEF
SITUATION OUR COMMUNITY IS IN.
IT IS IRONIC THOUGH THAT I
STILL AWFULLY GRATEFUL THAT
SUCH ATTENTION IS BEING PLACED
IN THIS COMMUNITY NOW. THERE IS
CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION AND
CONCERNS RAISED ABOUT THE
SEVERITY OF KOBE NINETEEN AND
IMPERIAL COUNTY. OF THE THIRTY
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED TESTS
HAVE BEEN ADMINISTERED OVER SIX
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED HAVE BEEN
POSITIVE. THAT MAY NOT FOUND
THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT TO MANY
BUT ONE OF THE COUNTY OF. AN
ESTIMATED POPULATION OF ONE
HUNDRED EIGHTY ONE THOUSAND IT
IS THE POTENTIAL. OUR CASE RATE
PER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
POPULATION IS AT SIX NINETY SIX
OVER THE LAST FOURTEEN NAY.
ALMOST THREE TIMES AS MUCH OF
LOS ANGELES. COUNTY WITH A
POPULATION OF TEN MILLION. IN
JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS OVER
FIVE HUNDRED PATIENTS HAVE BEEN
TRANSFERRED OUT OF IMPERIAL
COUNTY AND OTHER CALIFORNIA
HOSPITAL. COURSE CONCERNING
SITUATION. LIKE EVERY PUBLIC
HEALTH DEPARTMENT ACROSS
CALIFORNIA WE ARE FULLY
COMMITTED TO PRESERVING THE
SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS.
CONSEQUENTLY WE HAVE TAKEN A
VERY DELIVERED IT AND A
CAUTIOUS APPROACH AND HOW WE
COMBAT THE DISEASE. ALTHOUGH
IMPERIAL COUNTY HAS NEVER MOVED
FURTHER INTO HIGHER RISK STAGE
TAKING ADDITIONAL AND MORE
AGGRESSIVE THAT. HELP STOP THE
SPREAD OF SPREAD OF KOBE
NINETEEN AND THE COMMUNITY. TO
BE CLEAR THEY ARE HOME AND FACE
COVERING ORDER HAVE BEEN AND
REMAIN IN PLACE AND IMPERIAL
COUNTY. WE CONTINUE TO STRESS
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADE
COVERING SOCIAL DISTRICTING AND
OTHER PREVENTION MEASURES. TO
DATE IMPERIAL COUNTY HAVE
IMPLEMENTED ALL STATE
GUIDELINES AND HEALTH OFFICER
ORDERS ADDITIONALLY. COUNTY
HAVE TAKEN A VERY CONSERVATIVE
APPROACH TO RE OPENING OF THE
TALISMAN AND BUSINESSES WORKING
CLOSELY WITH THEM SO THAT
PROPER SAFEGUARDS ARE IN PLACE.
AT THIS TIME NINE AROUND
RESTAURANTS BARS PERSONAL CARE
SERVICES AND ALL OTHER HIGHER
RISK WORKPLACES REMAIN CLOSE.
NOT A LOGICAL QUESTION IS WHAT
IS COSTING THE THIRDS OF CASES
AND HOSPITALIZATIONS IN OUR
COUNTY. NO ANSWER THAT ITS
FIRST IMPORTANT TO SHARE THAT
IMPERIAL COUNTY IS LARGELY
INVISIBLE AND FORGOTTEN AS THE
REGION UNLIKE MORE WELL KNOWN
AND WELL PUBLICISED REGION
BUDGET SAN DIEGO. ANGELES AND
SAN FRANCISCO PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
MUCH ABOUT OUR COUNTY. COUNTY
IS A RURAL COMMUNITY BORDERED
BY TO CALIFORNIA COUNTY SAN
DIEGO AND RIVERSIDE YUMA
ARIZONA IN MAY HE GOT A MEDICAL.
THE TO ITS UNIQUE LOCATION
IMPERIAL COUNTY IS THE MAJOR
CORRIDOR FOR TRANSPORT TO MANY
AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES.
AGRICULTURE IS AN IMPORTANT.
PART OF THE COUNTY TO CONNIE
ALTERNATING HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF
VEGETABLES. ECONOMIC CROPS AND
LIVESTOCK FEED THE NATION.
COUNTY IS HOME TO CALIPATRIA
AND SPENT THE NIGHT LEFT THE
PRISON HERBERT HUGHES
CORRECTIONAL CENTER AND EL
CENTRO NAVAL AIR FACILITY. IT
IS ALSO HOME TO THOUSANDS OF
LONG TERM WINTER VISITORS AS
WELL AS WEEKEND AND THE
WARRIORS WITH PASSION IS TO
RIDE IN THE DUNES. QUANTIFY
SOME OF THE IMPACT OF THE LOUD
OR MINT GROUP. BURIAL FAN
DEALINGS RECREATIONAL AREA
BETTER KNOWN AS GLAMIS SUPPORTS
MORE THAN ONE POINT FIVE
MILLION VEHICLES. AND THE OPEN
FIELD WELL- STATE VEHICLE A
RECREATIONAL AREA OVER FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND VEHICLES AND A
YEAR. ALL IN ALL AT TIMES%
DOUBLING POPULATION AND
IMPERIAL COUNTY. WITHOUT A
DOUBT. COUNTY THE HIGHLY MOBILE

WORK HEALTH CARE AND OTHER
BUSINESS. CHILD WAS JUST NOT
ONE WAY. COUNTY RESIDENTS THE
HEALTH CARE SHOP AND VISIT
FAMILY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
BORDER. THIS LAST WEEKEND IT
WAS REPORTED THAT LINE TO CROSS
INTO MEXICO WERE MILD LONG WITH
WAIT TIMES OF UP TO SEVEN
HOURS. THIS IS MAINLY DUE TO
SCREENING PROTOCOLS THAT
MEXICAN OFFICIALS HAD
IMPLEMENTED FOR THE WEEKEND.
ADDITIONALLY AS NEIGHBORING
COUNTIES BUT JUST SAN DIEGO
RIVERSIDE IN YUMA. WILL BE RE
OPENING STAGES AND MODIFY THEIR
SPARE HOME ORDERS. TRAVEL WILL

WITHIN THEIR- IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT WHILE IMPERIAL COUNTY
HAS HAD RELATIVELY LARGE
OUTBREAKS IN CONGREGATE
SETTING. AND SOME WORKPLACES
MOST OF ITS CASES DO NOT FALL
INTO THE BEDDING. ANY OF THE
KOBE NINETEEN POSITIVE CASES
ARE MADE UP OF INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE ON OUR UNEMPLOYED. DISABLED
RETIRED HOMEMAKERS AND YOUNGER
AND OLDER STUDENTS. SOME OF THE
DYNAMICS THAT ARE THOUGHT TO BE
INFLUENCING THE SPREAD OF KOBE
NINETEEN ARE TIED TO CULTURE
WHAT I GENERATIONAL FAMILIES
AND FACTIONS WITHIN THE SAME
HOUSEHOLD. PERSONAL AND SOCIAL
BEHAVIOR. AND THE CON COMMENT
AND GOING ACROSS THE BOARD. BUT
IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS IMPERIAL
COUNTY HAS RECEIVED MUCH NEEDED
SUPPORT FROM ITS STATE AND

SUPPORT TODAY- THEY HAVE A
ROBUST SB TEAM MONITORING DATA
TO PRODUCE WEEKLY REPORT
SHOWING IMPACT IN THE ZIP CODES
ALONG THE BORDER MUCH HIGHER
PER CAPITA RATES THAN ANY OTHER
PART IN WHAT THEY CALL THE
SOUTH BAY- CONSISTS.
INSISTENTLY 6270% 6270% OF
HOSPITAL MISSIONS- ARE THOSE
THAT TRAVEL TO MEXICO OR WORK
CONNECTED TO A FAMILY MEMBER-
TRAVEL WHO TRAVELED TO MEXICO
THEY ALSO REPORT SMALL NUMBERS
COMING FROM THE ARIZONA BORDER
BUT NOT A LOT. AND ASSISTING
AND THEY'VE BEEN ASSISTING AND
HAPPY AND LAB TESTING FOR
IMPERIAL COUNTY- THEY HAVE A
LARGER HEALTHCARE DELIVERY
SYSTEM WITH SCRIPTS AND SHARP
IN SOUTH BAY- SEEING THE BULK
OF THEIR HOSPITALIZATIONS AND
BECAUSE THOSE ARE SYSTEM
HOSPITALS. THEY'RE ABLE TO MOVE
THEIR PATIENTS WITHIN THEIR
SYSTEM WITHIN THEIR COUNTY AND
SO LAST THE END OF NEED FOR THE
TRANSFERS OUT- THEY REPORT THAT
THEY'VE TAKEN ABOUT. HALF OF
THE HOSPITAL TRANSFERS FROM
IMPERIAL COUNTY. AND THERE I
HAVE WORK EARLY TO REQUEST THAT
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDE
RESOURCES AND TAKE GREATER
RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTINUED OF
COURSE THAT EFFORT- BUT THEY'RE
ALSO SEEING A RISE IN THEIR
POSITIVITY RATE IN CASES IN SAN
DIEGO. AND I AND INCREASING DUE
TO- COMMUNITY MOVEMENT AS WELL
AS OUTBREAKS AND SNIFFS AND
OTHER LONG TERM CARE.
FACILITIES AND OUTBREAKS AND
COMMUNITY STUFF SETTINGS

AS YOU KNOW FULL WELL THE
EMERGENCY THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA
ESPECIALLY ALONG OUR SOUTHERN
BORDER WITH MEXICO IT'S
CERTAINLY NOT BEHIND US AND AS
SUCH WE'RE DEDICATED TO
REMAINING FULLY COMMITTED TO
GUIDING THE STATE'S RESPONSE TO
THIS CRISIS AS LONG AS
NECESSARY. THANK YOU FOR
INVITING US HERE TODAY AND
CAPITA TAKE YOUR QUESTION.
THANK YOU FOR THAT WONDERFUL
PRESENTATION AND VERY THOROUGH
AND VERY COMPLETE APPRECIATE
THAT VERY MUCH VERY
INFORMATIVE- ONE THING THAT
I'VE I'VE BEEN. MADE AWARE OF
IS THAT ON MEXICO SIDE THE
GOVERNMENT HAS ISSUED A
MORATORIUM. ON THE PURCHASE OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WHICH HAS
LED TO- VERY LARGE INFLUX OF
PEOPLE COMING IN FROM MEXICO
INTO THE U. S. TO PURCHASE
THINGS LIKE BEER AND ALCOHOL.
ON ON- ON THE ON THE BORDER
IT'S SUCH THERE'S BEEN THIS
HUGE RUSH FOR THESE. THESE
PRODUCTS ON OUR SIDE OF THE
BORDER THE RESPONSE FROM MEXICO
HAS BEEN TO CREATE CHECKPOINTS
ON THE REENTRY INTO MEXICO THAT
TO MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE AREN'T
ACCORDING THESE- PRODUCTS BUT
IT'S LED TO LINES OF I I'VE
BEEN INFORMED AS LONG AS- SEVEN
HOURS LONG ON FRIDAY. SO WE'VE
HAD- CARS I LEAN IN A
11510019 DEGREES HEAT BUT WHAT
WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT- THIS
IS ALL I THINK- CONTRIBUTED IS
MY OWN THOUGHTS THAT IT COULD
POTENTIALLY LEAD TO AN
EXACERBATIONS OF THE OF THE
CALL THAT INFECTION RATE.
ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE ARE
ARE TRAVELING AND UNDER
INFORMING THE BORDER PATROL OR
THE CUSTOMS OFFICERS AT THE
RESIDENTIAL- WORKERS ARE
ESSENTIAL TRAVELERS WHEN THEY
PROBABLY ARE NOT AND HAVE YOU
BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS IS BUT
THE ARE ARE YOU AWARE OF THIS
SAYS THERE BEEN A RESPONSE TO
THAT. I IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE
OF THIS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO-
COMPLICATING THE PROBLEMS ALONG
THE BORDER OF CALIFORNIA MEXICO.
I THINK YOU'RE YOUR MUTED AGAIN
SO WE CAN HEAR YOU. HE'S MUTED
SUMS GOING ON. WHAT YOU'RE NOT
MEET IN ON OUR SIDE SO WE CAN'T
HEAR YOU CAN TRY IT AGAIN.
NOTHING YET CHAIR MAKING HERE
YOU ARE YOU'RE HERE YOU'RE BACK
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT
I'M NOT SPECIFICALLY AWARE OF-
THE PROVISION THAT YOU SAID
WAS- INSTITUTED MEXICO
CERTAINLY FOLLOW UP ON THAT- WE
WERE AWARE THAT THERE'S BEEN AN
INCREASE IN SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC
AS OF LATE TRAVELING BACK INTO
MEXICO- WHICH LIKELY IS A
RELATED TO- SCREENING THAT THEY
MAY BE DOING- AS FOLKS ARE
HEADED BACK INTO MEXICO BUT-
CERTAINLY THERE'S A NUMBER OF.
FACTORS WITH THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN IMPERIAL COUNTY IN
MEXICALI WITH PEOPLE LIVING AND
WORKING IN AND- AND- HAVING AN
ESSENTIAL NEED TO TRAVEL BACK
AND FORTH- SO CERTAINLY ADDS
COMPLEXITY. TO THE CHALLENGE.
WELL I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE YOU
TO LOOK INTO THAT BECAUSE THAT
COULD BE A SOURCE OF INCREASE
INFECTIONS AND. AND TO OPEN UP
A LINE OF COMMUNICATION WITH
THE GOVERNOR BUCK CALIFORNIA.
TO DISCUSS THAT PARTICULAR TO
SEE IF THERE IS ANY CORRELATION
WITH THAT THANK YOU IF THERE
ARE ANY MEMBERS THAT THEY THEY
HAVE TO LEAVE SO- WOULD IT BE
GOOD TO ASK QUESTIONS NOW WE
HAVE DOCTOR PAN. THANK YOU-
THANK YOU CHAIR AND- AGAIN WHAT
I THINK- SHARES OF BOTH OF OUR
SOUL- COMMITTEES HERE TODAY FOR
BRING US TOGETHER- ACTUALLY
IT'S QUITE APROPOS WE'RE HAVING
THIS HEARING TODAY BECAUSE-
AND- FORTUNATELY I THINK SOME
STATES AT THE NEW YORK ADDS TO
CLEAR DO WANT TO- SENSUALLY
ISOLATE- PEOPLE COMING
TRAVELING FROM CALIFORNIA TO
THE STATE FOR FOURTEEN DAYS
WHEN THEY SHOW UP- BUT- AND
SANDERS OF. SOME DISCUSSION
ABOUT THAT- BUT I THINK ALSO AS
EVEN WHEN THIS PANDEMIC WAS
SPREADING- THERE'S SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER. SUCH
ACTIVITY SUCH EFFORTS ARE-
REALLY SUCCESSFUL IN TRYING TO
LIMIT THE SPREAD OF THE-
PANDEMIC THE SPREAD AROUND THE
WORLD BUT- WHEN THE THINGS THAT
IS EFFECTIVE IS ACTUALLY-
EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO MOVE TO A
CONTAINMENT STRATEGY IN TERMS
OF SIZE. THE ONLY INCREASING
OUR TESTING BUT THEN DOING
CONTACT TRACING AND THEN
ISOLATING PEOPLE WHO ARE
POSITIVE WITH THE DISEASE. SO I
GUESS MY QUESTION IS ABOUT-
THAT CROSS THE BORDER THAT WE
HAVE BETWEEN CALIFORNIA AND
MEXICO. WHAT THEIR DAUGHTERS
SOME DISCUSSIONS GOING ON
BETWEEN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH- HERE
IN CALIFORNIA AND IN A CO ABOUT
COOPERATING AND DOING- TESTING
TRACING IN ISOLATION OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE POSITIVE WHEN WE GET TO
THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE- CAN
MANAGE THAT AND- SO IN TERMS OF
BECAUSE KNOWING THAT PEOPLE
GOING ACROSS THE BORDER FOR
MANY DIFFERENT REASONS SUMMER
SENT TO WORKERS SOME BECAUSE OF
TRADE AND OTHER THINGS- WHAT
SORT OF COOPERATIVE PUBLIC
HEALTH- NON. ARRANGEMENTS ARE
BEING DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF
BEING ABLE TO. DO TESTING
TRACING OF PEOPLE TO HELP
BETTER CONTAIN ALBERY THAT MAY
BE HAPPENING IS PEOPLE ARE
COMING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS
THE BORDER. SO WE ARE IN
CONVERSATIONS WITH PUBLIC HELP
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER
EVERY DAY- I THINK THAT THAT
CONTAINMENT STRATEGIES HAVE
LARGELY BEEN ON THIS SIDE OF
THE BORDER WE'RE WORKING WITH
CDC TO PROVIDE RESOURCES I KNOW
SAN DIEGO HAS PROVIDED SOME.
TESTING AND CON AND SB
EPIDEMIOLOGIC SUPPORT TO MEXICO
I'M AND MORE WORK TO BE DONE
FOR SURE- I THINK BAFFERT'S
HAVE LARGELY BEEN ON THIS SIDE
OF THE BORDER BUT IN
COLLABORATION UNDERSTANDING THE
RESOURCE NEEDS OF MEXICO AND
WORKING WITH CDC TO BUY MORE OF
THOSE RESOURCES. GEN AT AND
OTHERS FROM SAN DIEGO MAY HAVE
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR
RELATIONSHIP ON THE GROUND
ACROSS THE BORDER BUT OURS HAS
BEEN THREE CDC AND THROUGH OUR
OFFICE OF FINANCIAL BORDER HOW
WE'RE WE'RE CERTAINLY HAVING
THOSE CONVERSATIONS BUT MOST
OF. THEM WERE PROVIDING THEM
SOME RESOURCES BUT THEY NEED
MORE AND- AND WE ALSO- ARE
PROVIDING MORE RESOURCES
VERTICALLY TO IMPERIAL COUNTY
TO SO THAT THEY CAN CONDUCT THE
TESTING THAT THEY NEED ON THIS
SIDE OF THE BORDER. RIGHT WELL
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT
RESPONSE- SAID THIS IS A GLOBAL
PANDEMIC AND- WE'LL DEFINITELY
NEED TO WORK TOGETHER IT'S
UNFORTUNATE THAT- UNITED STATES
IS. NOT FUNDING THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION- BUT WE
HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WE'RE ARE
PART OF ONE WORLD AND THIS IS A
PANDEMIC IT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT
POLITICAL BORDERS AND SO WILL
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THOSE
EFFORTS SO WE NEED TO CONTINUE
TO WORK. IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP
WITH. OUR INTERNATIONAL
PARTNERS INCLUDING MEDICO TO BE
SURE THAT WE CAN JOINTLY STOP
THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE. IT'S
NOT BECAUSE IT'S COMING IN FROM
OUTSIDE IT'S BECAUSE- IT'S-
IT'S SPREADING ACROSS THE ROUND
THE WORLD FROM WITHIN AND FROM
AROUND SO WE ALL NEED TO WORK
TOGETHER WE'RE ALL IN IT
TOGETHER SO I APPRECIATE THAT
AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN CONTINUE
TO WORK ON- BUILDINGS THAT.
KIND INFRASTRUCTURE WE NEED TO
WITH MEDICO. TO ENSURE THE
SAFETY OF EVERYONE IN BOTH
COUNTRIES THANK YOU. WE'VE
HEARD FROM THE DIRECTOR OF
PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT FROM

RESOURCES ARE NEEDED. OUT THE
BORDER REGION COUNTY AND WE ARE
WORKING WITH ALL OF THE PARTIES
TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE
ARE SUFFICIENT RESOURCES DATA
ACCELEROMETER HE WAS NOTED
THAT- A- HAVE ONGOING
CONVERSATIONS- WITH ALL THE
PARTIES. AND WE HAVE TESTING
SITES ROUTE SOUTH REGION ARE
THOSE TESTS YOU START YOUR
FREE- WE HAVE UP FOCUS VERY
MUCH ON. THE NORTH PART OF THE
OF THE BORDER AND IMMEDIATELY
NORTH OF THE BORDER AS AN AREA
THAT CAN BE A HOT SPOT AND IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT- TO DEAL
WITH- AS WAS NOTED WE
PARTICIPATE- IT WITH A OFFICER
BI NATIONAL BORDER HEALTH AND
WE HAVE A BI NATIONAL SECTOR
WITHIN THE COUNTY- THAT WORKS.
VERY CLOSELY WITH- AT THE
GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO IN FACT TO
DOCTOR AND WAIT BOB WE WORK AND

RATE. HAS INCREASED- AND I HAVE
ATTEMPTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ARE KEEPING THE PUBLIC AT LARGE
AWARE OF THE EFFORTS- THAT ARE
GOING ON AT THE BORDER- WE'RE
CONDUCTING PRESENTATIONS TO
COMMUNITY GROUPS- BOTH IN SAN
DIEGO AND IN MEXICO. IT MAKES
FOR THAT THEY HAVE ALL THE
LATEST INFORMATION ALL THE
LATEST EFFORTS THAT ARE BEING
UNDERTAKEN- TO- PREVENT FURTHER
SPREAD OF THE DISEASE- AND AS
WAS SAID- THE- HOSPITALS AND
OTHERS IN THE REGION OF SAN
DIEGO- HAVE ASSISTED WITH- THE
PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE-
INCREASE IN HOSPITALIZATIONS
AND IMPERIAL COUNTY- I THINK
THAT. THAT OVERALL WE FEEL AS

REALLY BEEN IN EXISTENCE ARE
QUITE SOME TIME- WAS WELL

OUR WORK WITH THE FEDERAL

GENERALLY- WHEN DR ALEX
EASEMENT WAS HERE IN EARLY MAY-
WE MADE SURE THAT- WE WERE

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AND
SUBSEQUENT TO HIS VISIT-
UNIVERSE CALIFORNIA'S SAN DIEGO
DID MAKE A PROPOSAL- FOR
DISHING ADDITIONAL TESTING
SURVEILLANCE SIX CETERA-
UNFORTUNATELY THE RESPONSE FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS
THAT- RESOURCES THAT HAD COME

SUFFICE WE DO. FEEL ADDITIONAL
WE ARMY TO FOCUS ON THE BORDER
ISSUES AND TO. ENSURE THAT. WE

THANK YOU MISTER GROSS THANK

MOVE ON TO THE MAYOR. OF CHILL
THIS TIME AND- THAT ALSO COMES
MEMBER- STEVE BY THE I
UNDERSTAND YOUR- BOTH GIVEN A
JOINT PRESENTATION WELCOME
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR
PARTICIPATION VERY MUCH IN YOUR
WORK FOR THE PEOPLE CHELVESTON.
WHAT MORNING SENATOR WEBSITE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
CONVENING THIS REALLY IMPORTANT
HEARING. AND JOB I'D LIKE TO
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME SPEAK
TODAY ON THE IMPACT OF CODE
NINETEEN THAT ENDEMIC. ON THE
CITY AND- CHILL BASED IN THE
STOPPING. SO CHILL THE STATE IS
LOCATED IN SOUTH COUNTY- AND
IT'S ABOUT FOUR MILES FROM THAT
MEXICO BORDER. AND WE HAVE A
POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY TWO
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO
THOUSAND PEOPLE WHICH IS ABOUT
8% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION OF
THE SCENT OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
CHILLED LESTAT IS THE FIFTEENTH
LARGEST CITY IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND IT'S THE MEDICAL
AND COMMERCIAL HUB. US IS OUT
COUNTY REGION. AND IT'S
IMPORTANT AS THE ONLY TRUE FULL
SERVICE HOSPITALS WITHIN A
SEVEN MILE RADIUS OF THE SAN
DIEGO TIJUANA BORDER REGION-
ARE IN CHILDRESS THEM. SO
THERE'D ADDITIONAL
APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO ARE
US CITIZENS OR LEGAL RESIDENTS
WHO LIVE IN BAJA CALIFORNIA.
AND CAN PROP SUPPORTER TO SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION. AND THESE
INCREASES IN PATIENTS. ARE
IMPACTING OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL.
CHILDRESS THAT WAS A FIRST IN
THE CAN. THAT RECORD. COULD BE
NINETEEN CASE IN EARLY MARCH
AND WE ENGAGED WITH THE COUNTY
OF SAN DIEGO- IMMEDIATELY AND
SOUGHT DIRECTION IN THE SYSTEM.
EVEN WITH THE QUICK RESPONSE
CHILL THE STATE HAS EXPERIENCED
A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN OTHER
CITIES IN THE COUNTY EXCEPT FOR
NATIONAL CITY WHICH IS OUR
NEIGHBOR. AND WITH ONLY 8% OF
THE POPULATION WE HAVE HAD UP
215% OF THE- CASES AND RIGHT
NOW AS OF YESTERDAY OUR
FOURTEEN POINT 2% OF THE CASES.
OUR EFFORTS TO REDUCE THE
SPREAD IT IS ALSO DIFFICULT
SINCE WE ARE BROUGHT A THRIVING
BI NATIONAL REGION. AND
ALTHOUGH WE BANNED NONESSENTIAL
TRAVEL ACROSS THE BORDER WE
CANNOT STOP CITIZENS OR
PERMANENT RESIDENTS OR PEOPLE
WITH WORK BASIS FROM CROSSING
THE BORDER. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY
THAT WE HAVE HAD EMERGENCY
FINANCIAL RESERVES TO FIND MANY
EFFORTS THAT THOSE RESEARCH
HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. WITH NO
CONSIDERATION OP ABOUT THE
IMPACT OF CODE THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE
GOVERNMENT ARE ALLOCATING.
FUNDING BASED ON POPULATION AND
NOT ON THE ACTUAL IMPACT OF THE
VIRUS INDIVIDUAL
MUNICIPALITIES. OUR CITY IS
ONLY GETTING A FRACTION OF WHAT
IT NEEDS TO HELP STOP THE
PANDEMIC AND THE IMPACTS OF
THIS PANDEMIC. A PERFECT
EXAMPLE IS THIS. THE CITY
STOCKTON WHICH HAS A POPULATION
OF THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND TEN
PEOPLE HAS AS OF JUNE
FOURTEENTH JUNE TWENTY FIFTH
FOURTEEN HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE
CASES AND ARE GETTING A PER
CAPITA YOU'RE- GETTING A PER
CAPITA OF THE CARES ACT
ALLOCATION. OF EIGHTY FIVE
DOLLARS AND TWENTY SEVEN CENTS
PER RESIDENT WHERE IS THE CITY
OF CHOCOLATE CHILL MISTER WITH
POPULATION OF TWO HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE AS
OF JUNE TWENTY SEVENTH AS WELL
WE HAVE EIGHTEEN HUNDRED
SIXTEEN CASES AND ONLY GETTING
A CAP PER CAPITA SURE OF THE
SACKED ALLOCATIONOF TWELVE
DOLLARS AND TWENTY CENTS. SO
THAT'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE EIGHTY
FIVE DOLLARS VERSUS TWELVE
DOLLARS. THIS IS A STARK
EXAMPLE OF HOW THIS FORMULA IS
LEAVING CITIES LIKE CHILDREN
STEP HOBBLED IN ITS EFFORTS TO
CONTROL THE SPREAD OF THE
COVERT NINETEEN. AND LEAVES US
HEAVILY DISADVANTAGED TO
MAINTAIN THE NEEDED SERVICES TO
OUR RESIDENTS DURING THIS
PANDEMIC. AND NOT TO MENTION
THE NEED THE NEEDED MEDICATION
OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS THAT
THIS PANDEMIC HAS HAD ON OUR
COMMUNITY. AND WHAT WE ARE
STRIVING TO MEET THESE DEMANDS
WITH THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE IT
IS NOT ENOUGH. THIS VIRUS IS
IMPACTED OUR REGION AND
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ARE
CRITICAL WE ARE- EIGHT IF WE
ARE TO STEM THE SPREAD OF THIS
AND ARE. THE KERR LINE WAS
INTERRUPTED THAT FROZE.
MICELLES BECAUSE- MER SELES FEW
CAN HEAR US- WE LOST YOU THEN
MAYBE WE COULD HAVE A COUNCIL
MEMBER BY THE MAYBE FILL IN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND SHARE GONZALEZ ON
ONE THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME
TO ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE TODAY.
ON THE ENTIRE SOUTH SAN DIEGO
COUNTY IS NOW IN SAN DIEGO IS
CONSIDERED A HOT SPOT UNCLE BIT
NINETEEN CASES. JUST COUNTY
COMMUNITIES IN CHULA VISTA
NATIONAL CITY BENITA SINESTRO
TIME MESA BEACH COUNT FOR ABOUT
50% OF THE COUNTY'S OVERALL
POPULATION AND COLLECTIVELY FOR
ABOUT THIRTY TWO PERCENT. OF
OUR COUNTIES POSITIVE CASES AS
OF JUNE TWENTY SEVENTH. AS YOU
MAY KNOW I AM A SURVIVOR OF
KOBE NINETEEN FOR ELEVEN DAYS I
WAS ON A VENTILATOR AND METAL
MEDICALLYINDUCED COMA. I LOST
TWENTY SEVEN POUNDS AND ONE OF
MY LUNGS PARTIALLY COLLAPSED. I
UNDERSTAND FIRSTHAND THE PEOPLE
IMPACT OF THIS DISEASE CAN HAVE
ON OUR COMMUNITIES PARTICULARLY
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED.
STRENGTH AS YOU KNOW OUR ORDER
REGION IS DERIVED FROM THE
ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL
INTERDEPENDENCY THAT OCCURS
WITH THOUSANDS OF BORDER
CROSSINGS EVERY SINGLE DAY.
ANGEL THIS TO MANY OF OUR
RESIDENTS LIVE AND WORK ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE BORDER MEDICAL
TOURISM IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF
THE REGIONAL ECONOMY. AS PEOPLE
SEEK HEALTHCARE SERVICES ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER IN
THIS MOVEMENT IS OFTEN.
MANDATED BY THE NATURE OF
FRONTLINE WORKERS ON A CRITICAL
SERVICE WORKERS THAT RESIDE IN
THIS PART OF THE COUNTY. THAT
HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE
PHYSICALLY PRESENT FOR WORKING
PLEASE STAND AND- A HIGHER RISK
FOR EXPOSURE. THE MOVEMENT OF
PEOPLE SEEKING QUALITY
HEALTHCARE IN THE UNITED STATES
AND MEXICO CERTAINLY PRESENTS
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACCESS IT
ALSO INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY
OF THE SPREAD OF. NINETEEN AS I
SAID. HE SAID THAT HISTORICALLY
AFFECTED BY HIGHER PERCENTAGES
OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS. BASED ON
THE TWENTY EIGHTEEN CALIFORNIA
HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY STRAUSS
AN EAGLE COUNTY REGION HAS
HIGHER CURRENTS IS OF ASTHMA
DIABETES HEART DISEASE AND IS
NOW WELL KNOWN- THERE IS SOME
CORRELATION BETWEEN OTHER CO
MORBIDITIES AND THE RISK OF
SERIOUS ILLNESS CONNECTION
CC AT NINETEEN. ACCORDING TO
THE COUNTY SAN DIEGO HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN DIABETES AND HEART
DISEASE OR LEADING CAUSES OF
REALLY BEST BASED ON CHRONIC
DISEASE JEWEL OF ESTA. AS MAYOR
SALAS INDICATED WE ARE ON THE
FRONTLINE OF THE COLD THE
CRISIS WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING
WE POSSIBLY CAN TO PROTECT THE
HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
HOWEVER A FAIR ALLOCATION OF
FUNDING IS NEEDED TO CONTINUE
TO PRESS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES
THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE WELL
BEING OF OUR RESIDENTS. ANY
STATE FUNDING SHOULD BE
DISTRIBUTED IN A STRATEGIC WAY.
NOT JUST BASED ON POPULATION
THREATS POLLS OR PER CAPITA
SHARES. BUT STRATEGICALLY
DIRECTED TO AFFECT DIRECT
IMPACTS WHERE IT IS NEEDED MOST.
OBVIOUSLY THIS INCLUDES THE
NEED TO REACH THE MOST
VULNERABLE AREAS WITH THE
HIGHEST INFECTION RATES
AFFECTED DISTRIBUTION ESTATE
PLANNING PROVIDES AN
OPPORTUNITY TO NOT ONLY PROTECT
THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE. BUT TO
BREAK DOWN CULTURAL AND
LANGUAGE BARRIERS THAT A
PERSONAL ON STYMIED OUR MOST
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. AND I
THINK THE CHAIRS AGAIN. WOULD
CERTAINLY BE HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING
THAT AND YOU KNOW AS AS THE
SENATE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
BORDER IF I COULD JUST SEND ON
TO THOSE COMMENTS UNITS BEEN
VERY. COMPLICATED TO ADVOCATE
FOR MY DISTRICT BEING THAT IT'S
THE ONLY DISTRICT IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA THE BORDERS OF
FOREIGN COUNTRY AND- AND OF
COURSE THE COMPLICATIONS OF
THAT BRING BRING SO MANY-
CHALLENGES TO- PROVIDING ARE.
ADEQUATE SURE FUNDING THIS IS
AN INSTANCE IN WHICH WE SEE ONE
OF THE LARGEST BANKS IN THE
STATE WITH WITH NO- REAL-
PROPORTIONAL- RESPONSE AND
RESOURCES TO THAT PROBLEM. AND
SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU YOU
MADE SOME COMMENTS RELATING TO
THE CARES ACT FUNDING AND HOW
THAT'S BEEN APPLIED TO THE
STATE THERE'S SOME PARTS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT HAVE
NO CASES. THAT HAVE THAT ARE
SEEN DECREASES AND NOT
INCREASES. AND WELL WE HAVE
ALREADY INCREASES THERE WE
DON'T HAVE. THE FUNDS NECESSARY
TO AID IN THAT SO WE WERE
WORKING VERY HARD TO MAKE THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF AWARE OF
THAT THE CALLOW YES OFFICES FOR
THEIR PARTICIPATION HERE WAS
VERY IMPORTANT. AND IN IN IN IN
PASSED. UP POLICIES LIKE THE
CALAMARI WERE STREAM COMPLETELY
LEFT OUT THE BORDER REGIONS IN
THE IMPACTS BECAUSE THE TO
MEASURING DEVICES ALONG THE
BORDER WERE NOT AVAILABLE SO
THAT JUST MEANT THAT- THERE WAS
NO FUNDING FROM THAT SOURCE TO
HELP. COMMUNITIES COMBAT POOR
AIR QUALITY AND- AND OTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS AND OF
COURSE THAT'S BEEN EXACERBATED
HERE ONE THING CALL THAT HAS
DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF
SHOWING. THE VULNERABILITY OF
CERTAIN COMMUNITIES AND WHEN WE
SEE THAT THE BORDER COMMUNITIES
DEFINITELY VULNERABLE OF MERIT
MANY THINGS EMERGENCIES HEALTH
CRISIS- ENVIRONMENTAL CRISES.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PARTICIPATION IN YOUR COMMENTS.

OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO
DISASTERS SCRIPT HAS RESPONDED
TO EMERGENCIES LIKE HURRICANE
KATRINA. AND THE PARADISE FIRE
SOME MORE. BUT THE SPEND AND
MAKE IS DIFFERENT. TRIPS BEGAN
TO SEE THE CORONA VIRUS THREAT
BECOME A REALITY FOR OUR REGION
BACK IN FEBRUARY. FEBRUARY
SCRIPTS PREPARED FOR AND
TREATED VERY EARLY TRAVELERS
FROM CHINA. WERE QUARANTINED AT
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION
MIRAMAR IN SAN DIEGO. BUT THAT
EXPERIENCE FIRST QUICKLY
WRAPPED UP THE ENTIRE SYSTEM
FOR COVERT NINETEEN RESPONSE.
ON MARCH NINTH WE WERE NOTIFIED
BY THE COUNTY OF OUR FIRST
PUBLIC POSITIVE PATIENT AND
SCRIPTS. THE FIRST KNOWN CASE
IN SAN DIEGO. IN THE BEGINNING
OF THE PANDEMIC OUR EARLY CASES
WERE NORTH COUNTY SAN DIEGO. WE
QUICKLY OPENED A NURSE HOTLINE.
FOR NOT ONLY SCRIPT STATIONS
BUT FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE
WE STOOD UP TRIAGE FACILITIES
ARE HOSPITALS AND DRIVE AT
TESTING SITES. AND THAT ARE
URGENT CARE FACILITIES. BUT
BEFORE I PROCEED I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE GOVERNESS IN. THE
LEGISLATURE. I IN OU COUNTY
SWIFT ACTION DURING THESE EARLY
MONTHS TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS
OF THE PANDEMIC. YOUR ACTIONS
TO COURAGE AND WE'RE NOT
WITHOUT RISKING CRITICISM. THAT
HAD YOU NOT TAKEN EARLY ACTION
MANY MORE LIVES FOR THE LOSS TO
THE SPEND DOWN. AND WE THANK
YOU FROM THE HEALTHCARE
PROVIDERS THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP. THAT'S THE NUMBERS
BEGAN TO GROW IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY WE SAW SON SHIFT IN MID
APRIL. AND APRIL EIGHTEENTH WE
HAD CAN COPE WITH POSITIVE
PATIENTS ALL AT ONCE. IN OUR
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. AND EVERY
DAY AFTER THAT THE NUMBERS
CONTINUE TO GROW. SCRIPTURAL
ACOSTA HOSPITALS ABOUT TEN
MILES FROM THE SENATE CEDAR
PORT OF ENTRY. AS YOU KNOW
THAT'S THE BUSIEST LAND BORDER
CROSSING IN THE WESTERN
HEMISPHERE. IN APRIL THE SAN
DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE WAS
REPORTING THAT THE CASES AND
SENATE CEDAR BROUGH A HUNDRED
AND ELEVEN PERCENT. BETWEEN
APRIL FOURTEENTH AND APRIL
TWENTY. DURING THE SAME TIME
BOTH SCRIPTS AND SHARP
HOSPITALS IN CHáVEZ TO. THE
NEAREST HOSPITAL SERVING THE
SAN DIEGO TIJUANA BORDER.
EXPERIENCED AVERAGES ABOUT
PERCENT EIGHTEEN PERCENT.
POSITIVE CO THAT NINETEEN TEST
RESULTS COMPARED TO AN AVERAGE
OF 6% POSITIVE RESULTS.
ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTY. FOR
THE WEEKS TO FOLLOW THAT NUMBER
BECAME EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED. OR
HOSPITALS ANGELES TO SUSPECTS
EXCEEDING 25% POSITIVES. WELL
THE COUNTY PERCENTAGES OF
POSITIVES MORE BROADLY. DROPS
BELOW 5% BY THE END OF A-
EIGHTY. OF OUR COVERT PATIENTS
ORDER TWO SCRIPTS HOSPITALS.
FURTHER UP 48% OF CODE BUT
POSITIVE PATIENTS WHO VISITED
OUR CHILL THIS DIVERGENCE
AROUND BETWEEN MAY TWENTY
FOURTH. AND MAY THIRTIETH SAID
THEY HAD RECENTLY TRAVELED TO
MEXICO. THAT FIGURE JUMP 260%
BETWEEN MAY THIRTY FIRST AND
JUNE SECOND. ONLY ABOUT 5% OF
IT NINETEEN PATIENTS REPORTED
THAT THEY'D RECENTLY BEEN TO
MEXICO THAT'S GROUP'S OTHER
THREE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS.
WE'RE FORTUNATE SCRIPT AND
SHARPER BOTH SYSTEMS OF
MULTIPLE HOSPITALS AND SO WELL
OUR CHILDREN'S TO HOSPITALS
WERE NEAR CAPACITY FOR WEEKS ON
END. WE HAVE THE LUXURY OF
BEING ABLE TO TRANSFER SOME OF
THOSE PATIENTS TO HOSPITALS IN
THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
COUNTY. A MAY ELEVENTH SCRIPTED
SIX PATIENTS ARRIVE AT SCRIPT
RESIDUAL MISTER DIRECTLY FROM
THE BORDER WITHIN AN HOUR. FOR
BY AND LISTEN TO WALKING.
THROUGH THOSE PATIENTS FOR BACK
TO BACK INTO PATIENTS AS THEY
WERE CRITICALLY ILL WHEN THEY
ARRIVE. THIS EXPERIENCE IS NOT
UNIQUE TO SUPPRESS THIS TREND
CONTINUES TODAY JUST LAST WEEK
RECEIVE SEVEN AMBULANCES FROM
THE BORDER TORTURE LISTA
HOSPITAL. BY THIS TIME AND THEN
WE ARE TRANSFERRED FORTY THREE
PATIENTS FROM FROM SOUTHERN
HOSPITALS. ARE NORTHERN
HOSPITALS TO MAKE ROOM IN THE
SOUTH. TODAY THAT NUMBER IS
MORE THAN A HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN
I THINK AS OF THIS MORNING WAS
A HUNDRED AND- FIFTY SEVEN. OUR
PATIENTS WE TRANSFERRED FROM
THE SOUTH. WE SAW US LIKE
STABILIZATION AT THE END OF MAY
AND THE BEGINNING OF JUNE.
HOWEVER SINCE JUNE NINETEENTH
OUR NUMBERS OF COVERT POSITIVE
TEST RESULTS. HAVE NOT ONLY
GONE BACK UP. THE NUMBERS ARE
DOUBLING. ON JUNE TWENTY SECOND
OF FORTY THREE UNIQUE NEW
COVERT POSITIVE CASES SYSTEM
WIDE. THE HIGHEST SINCE THE
SINCE THE START OF THIS
PANDEMIC. NEW RECORDS WERE SET
THE FOLLOWING TWO CONSECUTIVE
DAYS. OUR DAILY AVERAGE IS NOW
WELL ABOVE THE PREVIOUS GAVE
THE CASE RECORDS CYNICAL
PREVIOUS PEAK. WAY BACK IN
MARCH. ON JUNE TWENTY THIRD WE
HAVE FORTY EIGHT UNIQUE NEW
COVERED A POSITIVE CASES SYSTEM
WIDE. HI. THIS IS THE START OF
ENDEMIC. OUR NURSE HOTLINE IS

CALLS FOR WEEK. ATOP FROM. FROM
WHAT STARTED ABOUT THIS ONE

SEVEN BEDS SO WHERE ARE ROLL
HOSPITAL HUNDRED AND TWENTY
MILLION THE NET REVENUES AND
ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED EMPLOYEES-
LIKE EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCE WE
SAW THIS IS A FAR AWAY STORM AT
FIRST BUT NATIONAL NEWS IT WAS
LIKE CRACKING UP FOR EIGHTEEN-
REPORTS WERE FIRST HEARD. OF
YOUR THE FIRST OF THE YEAR-
CERTAINLY THOUGH REPORTS FROM
WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK CITY
PAINTED SOME ENHANCE USE OF THE
POSSIBLE COVERT STORM. GETTING
THIS NATION- CALIFORNIA
HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION MEMBERS
THE OPERATIONS CENTER ALARMS
WENT OFF SHORTLY THEREAFTER. IN
EARLY MARCH- CH A EXECUTIVE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS SOME URGENT
ALARM REQUESTING HOSPITALS
DEVELOP A- FLEX PLAN FOR A CO
WITH PATIENTS STORM SURGE- IN
PREPARING. FOR THAT STORM OF.
FOR YEARS A STATUS IT IS A
COMMAND SYSTEM IN EARLY MARCH-
AND WE BEGAN BY. SPACE ICE USE
SPACE MOVING UP FROM EIGHT
LICENSED BED STOP THE THIRTEEN
QUICKLY AND THE MENTALLY UP TO
THIRTY TWO BEDS- JUSTIN SPACE
PLANS A NEGATIVE AIR SPACE-
STARTING AT TWENTY NINE- TO
MOVE QUICKLY TO FORTY- TODAY OR
AT FIFTY EIGHT- SO. METROPASS
OF THE REALLY WAS PLANNED
PLEASE THANK. BY WITH. THE
POSSIBLE OF COULD. OF EXTERIOR
TENSE AND THE SHELTERS UP WE
HAD CLOSED FROM ELECTED SIR.
AND THE SHOW IN A RESULTANT IN
A PERCENT IMMEDIATE AND ARE
CLINIC WERE CUT IN HALF
EMERGENCY ROOMS- SURGERIES ALL
DECREASED DRAMATICALLY
pOVERNIGHT WITH THE- SHELTER IN
ORDER- ALSO CREATED A CASH
CRUNCH- AND RESULTED IN SOLEIL
OFF EARLY ON NOT KNOWING WHAT
TO REALLY EXPECT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN AND NO INDICATION BOTH.
WHAT KIND OF RELIEF WOULD BE
ORGANIZED. BUT THE STORES OF
THE STORM SURGE DID INCREASE-
AND CERTAINLY EL CENTRO WHAT
YOU'RE GONNA HEAR FROM NEXT- AT
A PARTICULAR MUCH HIGHER A
NUMBER OF ADMISSIONS THE
PIONEERS- BUT- YEARS IN MARCH
OUR FIRST CASE WAS ON MARCH
SIXTEENTH. WE HAD- NINE NEW
ADMISSIONS IN MARCH AND APRIL
TWENTY ONE NEW ADMISSIONS AT
LIKELY YOU'LL WE ALSO
ANTICIPATE BY- OR EXPECT BY
EASTER ESCALATION- AND WE HAVE
NO CASES TRANSFERRED FROM
PIONEERS THAT WORK BUT PATIENTS
A MONTH. IN MAY- WE PROCEEDED
TO SEE SIXTY TWO NEW
INVENTIONS- ALSO FUELED BY A
MOTHER STAY IN A MEMORIAL DAY
IS WHAT WE AS SOON AS WE FOR
LIKE DAYS WHAT THE INCREASES.
AND WE TRANSFERRED TWENTY EIGHT
CASES THAT MONTH ALONE. EARLY
JUNE- WE WERE ON A PACE IN THE
FIRST NINE DAYS FOR ABOUT SIXTY
NEW CASES OUT OF A TOTAL NUMBER
RIGHT NOW BUT I'M SURE IT'S IN
THE SEVENTIES. AND IN ADDITION
TO THAT WE- SEVENTIES K. OF
THREE JUNE TWO EIGHTH SO A DRUM.
IN WHAT YOU SEE IN A WAY A SON.
IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE
STORY FROM THE AREA- AND WE'RE
RIGHT NOW ANTICIPATING A STRONG
POSSIBILITY- THAT THE FOR THE
JULY COULD RESULT IN HERE OR
GREATER- CONTACT AND SPREAD OF
THE DISEASE SO- WE'RE PLANNING
ON THIS LEVEL TO CONTINUE FOR
THE NEXT YEAR WE'VE GONE AWAY
FROM A- SHORT TERM STRATEGY AND
HOW THE WE- WORK THROUGH THIS
CRISIS TO THIS IS OUR NEW WAY
OF OPERATING- THE FINANCIAL
PRESSURES- ARE GREAT- WE DID
SEE SOME TEARS ACT. FUNDING
WHICH GREATLY HELPED US AS
WELL- MOST. RECENTLY IN JUNE.
AND BUT IT'S REALLY- WITHOUT
ANY NOTIFICATION OF WHAT TO
EXPECT OR HOW MUCH TO EXPECT.
OR WHAT'S COMING NEXT IF
ANYTHING SO WHAT WE'RE IN A
GOOD POSITION TODAY THEY'RE
STILL GOING TO BE GREAT NEEDS-
RESOURCE SHORTAGES- AS CHRIS
MENTIONED- THE PPVS.
IMMEDIATELY NOTHING WAS
AVAILABLE AND YOU COULDN'T
INCREASE SUPPLIES OF ALL- BUT
WE DO- THANK OUR- YOU'LL SEE
PARTNERS- IN THE COUNTY. WHO
HAVE BEEN VERY RESPONSIBLE NOT.
TESTING AS WELL REAL TIME WE
HAD NO TESTING THEN SOME
TESTING AND NOW MORE TESTING
BUT- NOW WE HAVE. LET'S SAY
SPORADIC INTERRUPTIONS OTHER
CAUSES TO SHUT DOWN. FOR A DAY
OR TWO OR THREE AT A TIME
EQUIPMENT ACQUISITIONS-
VENTILATORS PRIMARILY- THE
STATE WAS VERY QUICK TO REACT
AS WELL AS OUR COUNTY YOU'LL
SEE. A TO A PROVIDED SOME
TRANSPORT LAYERS. BUT THEY'RE
NOT INTENDED REALLY FOR LONG
TERM USE- REGGIE OPERATIONS
ABOUT HER SUPPORT HAS BEEN
GREAT- AS I MENTIONED THE
RPG'S- THEY PROVIDED AND ARE
QUICK RESPONSIVENESS THEIR
GREATLY APPRECIATE I THINK THAT
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE MURDERS
THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN A MUCH
GREATER THAN I EVER EXPECTED-
THE TRANSFER CENTER HAS BEEN
VERY PROMPT AND DAVE DUNCAN
THIS BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE.
NATIONAL GUARD THAT THEY
PROVIDED WAS MUCH NEEDED AND
JUST IN TIME. AS FAR AS
SUGGESTIONS GO. AND WE LOOK TO
SEE THAT- IN THE FUTURE WE CAN
CONTINUE TO- COORDINATE OUR OUR
MEETINGS AND OUR EMAILS AND- IT
STARTED PLAN MORE ON. IT'S EASY
TO ADD NEW SPACE IS MORE
DIFFICULT TO ADD STAFF AND
THOSE WERE PRIORITIZING NEEDS I
DO SEE THAT THE YOU'LL SEE IS
REALLY STRONGLY SUPPORTING US
MORE IN- STAFF NEEDS WHICH IS
WHAT REALLY NEED BECAUSE THERE
IS EXISTING SPACE. IT JUST
NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO BE ABLE TO
CREATE THAT. WE SHOULD STAND UP
THE FACILITIES FIRST AND THAT
COMES WITH STAFFING AS FAR AS
LOW SHORT TERM FUTURE OF CHANGE.
I TO GO CHANGES THE DIFFICULT
WHAT WE SEE IS THE LIONS
CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE
TRANSFERS CONTINUE TO INCREASE.
AND THERE'S NO EMINENT VACCINE
OR CURE IDENTIFIED IN THE NEXT
SIX TO TWELVE MONTHS. SO IT'S
ABOUT PLANNING FOR THE CHANGE
AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE NOW
IT'S NOT ABOUT DEALING WITH THE
CRISIS IS AN ONGOING WAY OF
LIFE NOW- AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT
TWELVE MONTHS. SO RESOURCES
THAT WE NEED- I LOOK FIRST TO
YOU KNOW THERE ARE MORE
PLENTIFUL SUPPLIES AVAILABLE.
BUT I'LL CALL IT OR WAITED TO
FOOD INSECURITY IT'S SUPPLY AND
SECURITY- WE DON'T KNOW WHEN
THE NEXT SHIPMENT WILL BE OR
HOW BIG THOSE ORDERS ARE GOING
TO DEMAND A WELDER- A SUPPLIER
WHETHER IT CUT BACK ON- BUT WE
HAVE SEEN GREAT INCREASES OF
NAS'S. BEEN VERY HELPFUL.
THERE'S OUR URGENT NEED FOR
TREATMENT RESOURCE ARE ALL
RAPID TESTING- ORDERS ARE NOT
RELIABLE- WE RUN SHORTLY A
SHORT REGULARLY- I DID HEAR
FROM THE NATIONAL GUARD THIS
MORNING WHICH I WAS A GREAT TO
HEAR- I THINK ON SATURDAY
ALTHOUGH THEY WERE IN ON THE US
STATES VISIT. OUT TO THE
COUNTY. AND HEARD ABOUT THE-
LOCAL GOT A SHORTAGE OF THOSE
SUPPLIES FOR A BY A FIRE. THIS
MORNING THEY CALL THE SAID
THAT- THEY EXPECT TO BE DOWN
HERE SHORTLY- WITH WILDFIRE AND
SUPPLIES AND STAFF TO RUN IT-
SO THAT'S LOGISTICS IS BEING
WORKED OUT RIGHT NOW- FROM
DOUBLE ZERO OF THE STATE YOUR
PHARMACEUTICAL TREATMENT
REGIMEN IS ALSO A SHORTAGE OUT
THERE- THERE HAVE BEEN.
SIGNIFICANT INCREASES AND I DID
HEAR THAT WE WERE DUE ANY DAY
NOW TO RECEIVE THE NEXT UP
FRONT- BUT AGAIN WE'RE GETTING
BACK TO UP THERE'S BEEN GREAT
IMPROVEMENTS AND NOW IT'S ABOUT
THE IN SECURITY ARE WE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO KEEP THAT UP. AND
WILL KEEP GROWING IN NEED OUT
THERE. REGISTRY WE TAPPED INTO
A TWENTY CRITICAL CARE NURSES-
TEN OF WHICH WE EXPECT TO SEE
BY MONDAY- ONE ADDITIONAL
INTENSE WAS TO HELP RELIEVE THE
ONLY OTHER CRITICAL CARE
POSITION NOW AND THE BALLOT-
FOR OUR TEAS AND TELL YOUR MEN
SURGICAL- NURSES OUT THERE. BUT
THE NEED IS REALLY GOING TO BE
HOUSE SUPPORT. AT A REGISTRY
PREMIUM COSTS SO THERE IS GOING
TO BE A NEED FOR INCREASED
FUNDING IN THE FUTURE. REAL
TIME NEEDS OF. CONTINUOUS
SUPPORT FOR SAFE EXPANSION AND
THE ALTERNATIVE LEGAL LICENSE
SPACE- WE APPRECIATE THAT- THE
STATE- CITY PH HAVE ALL BEEN
VERY HELPFUL IN ALLOWING US TO
QUICKLY TRANSITION SPACE LIKE
AN ALTAR SOUNDS BY USE OF THE
ICE YOU BILLS. THEY END UP END
UP MOVING OUR OF ULTRASOUND AND
RPG SPACE. TRANSITIONS FROM
IMMEDIATE YEAR NEED SPACE TO
PERMANENTLY AVAILABLE SPACE IS
GONNA BE NEEDED- THAT IS THERE
TODAY BUT WE'RE GONNA NEED TO
CONTINUE THAT. AND THEN THE
LONG TERM FUTURE- JUST YET TO
BE DEFINED I THINK THE SHELTER
AND IMPACT. HAS A GREAT UNKNOWN
OUT THERE ABOUT HOW THIS BILL
CHANGE SOCIETY ON A LONG TERM-
SOCIAL DISTANCING AND- TV'S.
VIRUS IMPACT ON TRAVEL AND- AND
HOSPITALS AS A PLACE TO HEAL AS
A PLACE AS OPPOSED TO A PLACE
TO AVOID BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS.
ALL OF THOSE ARE GOING TO HAVE
A GREAT. LONG TERM IMPACTS OF
PRIMARY CARE IN RURAL AREAS IS
ALWAYS NEEDED. I THINK THE
FINAL FOR THE CONCLUSION HERE I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
REPEATING KIND OF WHAT CHRIS
IT'S A- SOCIAL DISTANCING
DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE WORKING-
IT IS NEEDED BUT AS YOU OVERLY
HOLIDAYS WITH THE- INCREASES
AND- TRANSFERS OUT OF HERE AND
THE INCREASING SENSE US. IT'S
HARD TO TELL HOW WE'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE SOCIAL
NORM OF MAYBE BY COMMUNICATING
YOUR TESTIMONIALS OF THOSE IN
THE COMMUNITY THAT NO AND ARE
KNOWN AND TRUSTED- IN ANY CASE
I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A
CHANGE FOR A LONGER TERM
SOLUTION. I JUST WANT TO ASK
YOU THE RESUME I'M SORRY IT
INTERRUPT YOU AT THAT YOU'RE
FINISHED BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU
THERE WAS IN IT- OF COURSE A
DISASTER UP IN IRELAND YOUR THE
HOSPITAL CLOSEST TO AN ISLAND-
OVER FORTY WHO HOMES WERE
BURNED FAMILIES WERE DISPLACING
OF COURSE ARE BEING HELD
INTERPRET FACILITIES RIGHT NOW
AND I HOPE. THERE HEALTH IS
BEING UP. PROTECT WALK THROUGH
THIS CRISIS THE THIRD DURING.
BUT I WANT TO ASK- DID THAT TO.
AFFECT THE OPERATIONS OF THE
HOSPITAL DID YOU SEE AN
ADMISSIONS TO YOUR HOSPITAL
RELATED TO THAT THAT
COMPLICATED THINGS. I DID NOT I
DID NOT HEAR ABOUT THAT
SPECIFICALLY SO I WOULD ONLY

SOURCE OF POTENTIAL RESOURCES.
I DO LEARN FROM THEM. I'M NOT A
REGULAR PARTICIPANT IN THEIR
MEETINGS BUT- I DO PARTICIPATE.

RESOURCE TO BE ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE ACROSS BORDERS-

OTHER- BUT THAT'S THAT. I DON'T

DETENTION IN THE BORDERLANDS FS
IS ONE OF A HANDFUL OF
NONPROFIT IMMIGRATION LEGAL
SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE REGION
PROVIDING PRO BONO
REPRESENTATION TO DETAINED
EMIGRANTS. TO DETENTION CENTERS
THE- TIME IF THE DETENTION
CENTER AND THE IMPERIAL
REGIONAL DETENTION FACILITY AND
BOTH ARE OPERATED BY FOR PROFIT
CORPORATIONS. THIS PRESENTS A
UNIQUE TALENTS TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WITHIN THE CONTEXT
OF COULD BE NINETEEN AND PUBLIC
HEALTH. CURRENTLY THE- TIME IS
A DETENTION CENTER IS THE SIDE
OF ONE OF THE LARGEST OUTBREAKS
OF KOBE NINETEEN IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY. WITH MORE THAN A
HUNDRED AND SIXTY INDIVIDUALS
HAVING TESTED POSITIVE FOR KOBE
NINETEEN. INDIVIDUALS DETAINED
AT THEIR TIME IS A DETENTION
CENTER WERE COERCED DESIGN
LEGAL WAIVERS AS THE ONLY WAY
TO OBTAIN PP. INDEED THE
OPERATION OF BOTH OF THESE
FACILITIES BY FOR PROFIT
OPERATORS RAISES SERIOUS
QUESTIONS AS TO HOW DECISIONS
INVOLVING PUBLIC SAFETY ARE
BEING CARRIED OUT. RESPITE
MIGRANT SHELTER IN THE
BORDERLANDS THE CRITICAL
IMPORTANCE OF A RESPITE MIGRANT
SHELTERED TO THE PROTECTION OF
PUBLIC HEALTH IS VIOLATE
VITALLY IMPORTANT DEFENSE
OPERATE SAN DIEGO'S MIGRANT
FAMILY SHELTER AND WE HAVE
ASSISTED MORE THAN TWENTY THREE
THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS SINCE
OCTOBER OF TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND
IT'S INCLUDES ELEVEN THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED CHILDREN. OUR JOB
WAS TO ENSURE OUR SHELTER GAS
WERE HEALTHY AND ABLE TO TRAVEL
TO THEIR FINAL DESTINATION.
TODAY WITH THE BORDER
EFFECTIVELY CLOSE THE NUMBER OF
ASYLUM SEEKING FAMILIES WE ARE
ASSISTING HAS DRAMATICALLY
INCREASED THOUGH WE HAVE REASON
TO BELIEVE THAT THESE NUMBERS
WILL AGAIN INCREASE ONCE THE
SAME DIEGO IMMIGRATION COURT
RESUMES HEARINGS. IN MID JULY
FOR INDIVIDUALS AND ROLLED INTO
THE REMAINING MEXICO PROGRAM.
AGAIN IT WILL BE THROUGH A
COORDINATED EFFORT BY JEFF ASSN
OTHERS IN ADDITION TO GOVERNOR
GOVERNMENT PARTNERS INCLUDING
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IN SAN
DIEGO COUNTY WILL BE CRITICAL
IN MEETING THE UNIQUE NEEDS
PRESENTED IN OUR REGION. JEFF
THAT'S UNDERSTANDS THAT THE
STATE IS FACING AN
UNPRECEDENTED FISCAL CRISIS NOT
BROUGHT ON BY AN ECONOMIC
RECESSION BUT BY A PANDEMIC
THAT WAS BROUGHT. AND THAT IS
THE WORLD TO A HALT. IF WE
CONTINUE TO SEE HOW KOBE
NINETEEN IT WONDERFUL
POPULATION THE HARDEST THOSE
WITH WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEMS
SENIORS PEOPLE OF COLOR AND-
THIS. SUCCESS WE WILL PAY OVER
THIS BY. WILL BE MEASURED
ABOUT. BY HOW WELL WE ARE FOR
CARE FOR- PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST
AT RISK IN OUR STATE AND IN
THIS MOMENT JEFF US
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR THE STATE.
TO CONTINUE INVESTMENT OR
IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES IN
ADDITION TO ACCOUNTABILITY AND
OVERSIGHT OVER THE DETENTION
CONDITIONS FOR THE TWO.
DETENTION FACILITIES IN OUR
REGION THOUGH THERE ARE OTHERS
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
CONTINUED INVESTMENT- TO
MAINTAIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF
THE REPS BUT SHELTER OPERATED
BY JACK FAST FOR ASYLUM SEEKERS
RELEASE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY TO ENSURE THE
PROTECTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
CONTINUED INVESTMENT FOR THE
DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE
OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE
FEDERAL STIMULUS DOLLARS VIA
THE CARES ACT. I JEFF THAT'S
OUR CALL TO ACTION IS MOVING
FORWARD TOGETHER. THIS IS WHAT
WE INTEND TO DO THROUGH THIS
CRISIS AND BEYOND AND AGAIN I
THINK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO SHARE OUR DAY TO DAY IN THE
CHALLENGES WE SEEK TO RESPOND
TO AND FIND SOLUTIONS FOR. AS
THE SITUATION CONTINUES TO
ABOUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH WHAT
A GREAT PRESENTATION AND THANK
YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON BEHALF
OF. THE PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY
CENTER REPEAL DID YOU HAVE A
QUESTION. YES THIS QUESTION IS
FOR KATE- CLARK. AFTER TWO OKAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
SERVICES I'VE JUST I'VE BEEN
ONE OF THE PRIVILEGE WANTS TO
TAKE A TOUR WITH YOU ARE NOT
ONLY IN THE JEWISH CENTER BUT
ALSO THE ALL TIME SO DETENTION
CENTER. I JUST WANT A LITTLE
BIT MORE OF AN EXPANSION ON THE
INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE CURSED TO
SIGN WAIVERS. IF YOU CAN EXPAND
ON THAT OF WHAT HAS BEEN THE
OUTCOME OF THOSE THAT THAT WERE
COERCED AND- WHERE DID THE END.
BASED ON THOSE CORPORATIONS.
SURE WE HAD RECEIVE THAT
INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM OUR
CLIENTS- OVER THE PAST COUPLE
OF MONTHS REALLY. IT'S CLEAR TO
ME THAT THERE THE INFORMATION
THAT'S BEING- SHARED WITH
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE BEING
DETAINED SPECIFICALLY IF YOUR
TIME IS A DETENTION. CENTER IS
REALLY OUT OF A VACUUM THERE'S
NOT REALLY. ANY ANY STRUCTURE A
SYSTEM IN PLACE TO ENSURE. THAT
BE ADDED TEAMED INDIVIDUALS
HAVE- THEIR THEIR SAFETY AND
WELLNESS BEING CARED FOR OR
THEIR VESTING INTERESTS ARE
BEING LOOKED AFTER OF COURSE BE
A STILL YOUR SAN DIEGO AND
IMPERIAL COUNTIES HAVE SINCE
CHALLENGED- AND BROUGHT SUIT
AGAINST. IMMIGRATION CUSTOMS
ENFORCEMENT FOR. ON THE
CONDITIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE-
TO MEET THE DETENTION FACILITY
BUT- WE CONTINUE TO SEE OR TO
RECEIVE- HORRIFIC REPORTS FROM
OUR CLIENTS AND OTHERS WHO ARE
YOU. ARE SEEKING LEGAL
SERVICES- AND YOUR OF COURSE
INTERESTED IN AND GETTING OUT
OF THE DETENTION CENTER AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE. IT'S REALLY
UNFORTUNATE THAT THE UNITED
STATES IS TAKING THAT APPROACH-
TO SIMPLY DETAIN IMMIGRANTS
THERE. NO REASON TO DO THE
ESPECIALLY FOR US I'M YEARS
THEY'RE SEEKING FOR. AND FLEE
FOR A BI TEMPER. FROM THEIR
HOME BUT JEFF OTHERS CONTINUED
RECEIVE THESE. EVERY DAY- AND
DO OUR BEST TO YOU KNOW.
REPRESENT FOLKS AND BOND AND
HEARINGS AND ROLL THEM OUT OF
THIS. GIVEN THE EGREGIOUS AND
HORRIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE
FACILITY- AT TEN MESA. THANK
YOU AND I HAVE ONE MORE
QUESTION IF I MAY UM EARLIER I
HAD ASKED BECAUSE I HAD HEARD
ABOUT THE- HUNDRED AND SIXTY
CASES AND THE DETENTION CENTERS
BUT- I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT-
INFORMATION I WAS RELEASED I
BELIEVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
IS. GOING TO ALLOW IRAQ I THINK
OVER A HUNDRED- CHILDREN TO BE
RELEASED AND THERE IS CONFUSION
AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE
GOING TO BE RESET THEIR
PARENTS. OR ALONE DO YOU HAVE
INFORMATION ON WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO BE
RELEASED. YES YEAH MY
UNDERSTANDING IS ABOUT LARGELY
APPLIES TO FAMILY DETENTION
CENTERS FORTUNATELY THERE ARE
NO NO FAMILY DETENTION CENTERS
IN CALIFORNIA- BUT THAT REALLY
UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE. OF
THE- INVESTMENT THE STATE'S
CONTINUED INVESTMENT INTO THE
SAN DIEGO RESPITE. SHELTER FOR
MIGRANT FAMILIES ON BECAUSE
THERE IS NO FAMILY DETENTION
CENTER- INDIVIDUALS. FAMILY
UNIT SPECIFICALLY ARE ABLE TO
BE RELEASED ON THE ALTERNATIVES
TO DETENTION PROGRAM SO THAT
THEY ARE NOT DETAINED- FAMILY
DETENTION CENTERS ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES- IN ORDER TO GET
TO THEIR FINAL DESTINATION SO.
I'M WELL WE DO NOT HAVE TO
SPECIFICALLY DEAL WITH- BEING
DETAINED IN OUR IN OUR- REGION
OR OUR STATE. I'M IT IS
SOMETHING THAT OTHER. STATES
ARE GRAPPLING WITH- BECAUSE
THERE ARE FAMILY DETENTION
CENTERS THERE NAMELY INTACT.

GUESSTIMATE SOME FORMAL
COMMENTS- BUT I DON'T WANT TO
FOCUS ON THOSE FROM A COMMON
SIGHT I WANT TO BRING BACK. SIR
THE BIGGER PICTURE THE
SITUATION THAT'S HAPPENING HERE
IN THE IMPERIAL VALLEY- FOR
FOUR DECADES- I KNOW I'VE BEEN
AROUND FOR TWENTY YEARS AND WE
HAVE BEEN POUNDING ON THE DOOR
OF THE LEGISLATURE TO RECOGNIZE
THE FACT THAT WE ARE AN
INTERCONNECTED COMMUNITY WHEN
MEXICO. WE HAVE A FLUID-
RELATIONSHIP- WHERE THERE IS A
CONVENIENCE OF ESSENTIAL
WORKERS ARE WORKING ARE YOU
CENTURY JOBS ARE ARE I
AGRICULTURE OUR MANUFACTURING-
RETAIL OR WHOLESALE. WE ARE
INSIDE COMMUNITY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA HAS HAS NOT
RECOGNIZE THAT IN WHETHER IT BE
THROUGH LEGISLATION WHETHER IT
BE TO HELP THEIR FIRST I HAS
NOT RECOGNIZE THAT INDIVIDUAL
THE WORST POSSIBLE CONDITIONS
THAT WE CAN BE IN RIGHT NOW. WE
NEED TO CHANGE THAT WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT UNDERLYING
CONDITIONS WE CAN I JUST FIGHT
THE BATTLE- AT THE FRONT LINES-
WHEN THE AGENTS HAVE ALREADY
REACHED THE WORST POSSIBLE
SCENARIO WHICH EMERGED. CARE TO
ALL ACTIVE OF NOT PROACTIVE WE
WILL NEVER ENDS I MEAN WHAT WAS
THE LAST TIME WE WERE ABLE TO
YOU READY KATE- EIGHT EIGHT IN
AND THAT'S RIGHT BY YOU READY
KIDDING ONE I'M NOT IT'S TIME.
AND THAT THIS IS A PRIME
BREEDING GROUND FOR HOPE IT ARE
THE INEQUITIES THAT EXISTS HERE
WE HAVE ASSAULTS AND SEE WE
HAVE THE NEW RIVER WHICH IS A
BREEDING GROUND. FOR THESE
TYPES OF VIRAL CONDITIONS THAT
HAVE EXISTED HERE IF WE DON'T
LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE IF
WE JUST TAKING CARE OF THE
EMERGENCY WE'RE ONLY GONNA
CONTINUE TO CARE FOR THE MOST.
CRITICALLY ILL AND WE'RE NOT BE
ABLE TO COPE. AND BE ABLE TO
STOP THIS CRY. IN TIME. BEFORE
IT SOME. SOME SICK. DAMAGE IN A
COMMUNITIES WE DEFINITELY NEED
AND I RECIPROCATE EVERYTHING
ARE LEADERS IN HEALTHCARE HAVE
BEEN SAYING- WE NEED YOU KNOW A
PERSONAL. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
P. P. WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR
BORDERS WE SEND LETTERS AND
BELIEVE OFF FOR FOUR MONTHS AGO
TO OUR CONGRESSMEN WE'RE STILL
WAITING FOR A MEETING. BUT
THESE ARE THINGS THAT THAT HAS
BROUGHT TOGETHER OUR
COMMUNITIES. EVEN AMONG
NONTRADITIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
SUCH AS A FARM BUREAU. WHO
STEPPED IN AND SAID WE
RECOGNIZE THAT BORDER AND WE
RECOGNIZE THE FARMWORKERS AND
THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS THAT ARE
UNPROTECTED. AND WE NEED THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT JUST STEPPED
IN I'VE BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH
TO SEE A- FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
BEING VERY RESPONSIVE. AND I
SEE. IN THE BACK UP. WHAT WE
COULD NOT BE IN BETTER HANDS IN
CALIFORNIA WITH THE GOVERNOR
THE HAS BEEN RESPONSES BUT WE
NEEDED GIVEN THE ENTIRE ACCOUNT
AND WE NEED THE LEGISLATURE TO
SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE AND THE
WHOLE PICTURE IS THAT WE'RE
DEALING WITH THESE INEQUITIES
AND EAST PRE EXISTING
CONDITIONS THERE ARE PUTTING
OUR ENTIRE POPULATION AND WE'RE
SEEING THE RESULTS. THE RESULTS
OF THE SPIKE IS IN THE
CONDITION SINCE EIGHTY EIGHT IS
IT'S NOT TO THE JUST POINT AT
THE VICTIM BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS
A BIG. EVERYBODY WHO LIVES HERE
WHETHER YOU HAVE. BEEN AWARE
THAT YOU'RE REDUCED. RATE IT
HIGHER HIGHER- RESTORE CODE IS
YOUR BEING PUT IN A IN IN THESE
CONDITIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN
ADDRESSED FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
SO WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW- I
YOU KNOW I'VE GOT TO HAVE THE
PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH MUCH OF
MY MANY OTHER BUREAUCRACIES
HAD. A LONG HISTORY WORKING
WITH C. P. H. IN AND NICE AND
SHERRY- CONGRATULATE. THE NEW
DIRECTOR IN HER IN HER
APPOINTMENT THIS LAST FRIDAY
BUT- THE STATE DEPARTMENT
PUBLIC OUT PASSED. IN OFFICE OF
EQUITY IN THIS IS WORK THAT THE
LEGISLATURE DID. WE WANT THAT
PROMISE OF THAT. EQUITY IN
INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY ANY
READY KATIE. ALL THESE BE
EXISTING CONDITIONS. ARE YOU
KNOW ALL THE SEARCHERS SOCIALLY
GERMANS I HELP. THE BARRIERS
THAT EXIST THERE IS NOT ENOUGH
TO JUST HAVE A TWO WAY
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EMERGENCY
CARE AND WE IN BEING REACTIVE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF NONPROFITS
HERE IN THE VALLEY THAT HAVE
BEEN HERE THAT HAVE. BEEN
FILLING THE GAPS OF SERVICE FOR
DECADES UPON DECADES I DECISION
AS BEEN HERE FOR THIRTY YEARS
THIRTY OVER NEARLY THIRTY FIVE
YEARS. WE HAVE ORGANIZATIONS
YEAR I'VE BEEN HERE MUCH LONGER
AND I HAVE NOT SEEN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA STEP UP. AND SAY
LET'S PULL IN ALL THOSE
ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE THERE
PROVIDING HEALTHCARE PROVIDE
SOCIAL SERVICES FOOD SERVICES-
MANY SERVICES THAT WE NEED. SO
THAT WE CAN ALSO TAKE THIS
STRATEGY TO BE PROACTIVE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES MAKING SURE WE'RE
REACHING. THE HARD TO REACH I
HAVE SEEN THIS STRATEGY SO MANY
TIMES. WHERE THE STATE
BUREAUCRACY JUST LOOKS AS FAR
AS ARE THERE THERE ARE IN IN
SEAT. AND THEN THEY FOCUS IN
AND THESE STATEWIDE STRATEGIES
IN THE REGIONAL STRATEGIES. AND
YOU KNOW WE ARE- WE SURCHARGE
SOLITARY ROSE THIS IS A- YEAH
WILL AND- YOU DON'T. BUT BUT WE
NEED THE STATE. EIGHT OUR LOCAL
WE'VE BEEN HAVE MANY GO HERE IN
THE COUNTY AND I VERY THAT SOME
OF THE COUNTY. I REALLY
STEPPING UP AND RAKE IN AND THE
FACT THAT OWN POLICIES HAVE
BEEN RE OVER A YEAR AGO THESE
ARE HI PA THAT THAT THAT THAT
WERE HEALTH TO ELEVATE IN IN
THE OF THE THAT ECSTASY BUT WE
FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE OVER 85%
LATINOS IN AND WE ARE
SUCCESSFUL IN IN IN NOT GETTING
A COMPLETE COUNTY COULD EASILY
BE OVER 90% AT THE MOST. AND BY
THE WAY KOBE IS. IS HAVING HIS
GREATEST DAMAGE AND COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR LATINOS- COMMUNITIES
AND THIS IS THE PRIMARY IN
ROUND FOR THE POOR QUALITY.
RIGHT SO. IN WHAT IS A THING
SAID THAT WE NEED WE TO SAY
THAT. TO NOT ONLY JUST
COORDINATE AT THE COUNTY LEVEL
WE NEED TO ENGAGE ALL THE
NONPROFIT THAT HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO GO OUT. AND RETOOL
FOR YEARS USE THESE
ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE THERE
THAT HAVE BEEN THE STATE THE
NARROWNESS STATION I'VE BEEN
CAUGHT YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER
YEAR WE NEED TO PUT RESOURCES
IN THEIR HANDS. SO THAT WE CAN
REACH THE POPULATION THAT THAT
THAT SOME SOME HAVE CHOSEN TO
SAY IT'S THEIR FAULT IT'S
BECAUSE THEY DON'T WEAR THEIR
MASS IS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
LISTENING LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT
THE FARM WORKERS. THEY HAVE TO
BUILD THIS TYPE OF RESISTANCE
IN STATE BECAUSE OF THE WORKING
CONDITIONS BECAUSE OF THE
EXPOSURE THAT THEY FACED YOU
THINK THAT THEY'RE SCARED OF A
VIRUS. THEY DON'T THEY HAVE
BEEN THEY HAVE BEEN. CONDITION
TO DEAL WITH VERY HARSH
CONDITIONS. SO WHEN WE WANT TO
TALK TO THE COMMUNITY IN THE
FARM WORKERS THEY FEEL THAT
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CALL IS
GOING TO PASS THEM BY AND
THAT'S NOT A FAILURE OF THEIRS.
THAT'S THE FAILURES OF THE
CONDITIONS. THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
PUT TO AND THE FACT THAT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA- BENEFITS.
THESE KNEE SO LEASES. WERE YET
IS NOT PROVIDING AND RESOURCE
THEY NEED. WHAT WE NEED TO DO
IS TAKE A STEP BACK. THE GENIE
RESPONDER HOSPITALS AND BY THE
WAY I WANT TO SAY THAT EVERY
LUIS I WANT TO CONGRATULATE HIM
BECAUSE- HE IS A LEADER THAT IS
NOT AFRAID OF BEING IN NON
PROFITS INTO HIS SPACE. AND WE
ACTUALLY HAVE FORMAL AGREEMENTS
WORKING IN YEARS COPPER AND WE
NEED MORE OF THAT. AS WELL AS
IS AND THE COUNTY OF IMPERIAL
BRING IN NONPROFIT INTO THEIR
SPACE. AFTER GREAT SPECULATED
FOR THAT HE STOPPED ON MODELS
I'M NOT GOING TO WORK HERE. SO
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BRING AL
NONPROFITS. RITUAL THEM.
RESPOND THEM. AND GET THEM ON
THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WE CAN
WORK TOGETHER. IN THIS IS A
MESSAGE TO THE LEADERS OF THESE.
AND YOU NEED TO GET YOUR TEAM
THE BUREAUCRATS THE
BUREAUCRACY. TO CONNECT TO OUR
ORGANIZATIONS TO CONNECT TO OUR
COMMUNITIES. WE KNOW THIS. VERY
WELL WE KNOW THE CONDITIONS WE
LIVE IN WE KNOW WHAT THE
PROBLEMS ARE. SO WE NEED A TAX
TO TACKLE CHECK THIS THAT THIS
SITUATION FROM BOTH. FROM FROM
BOTH ENDS MEET MERGES YOU CARE.
PROVIDE HIM ALL THE RESOURCES
THEY NEED. AND LET'S GET OUT IN
THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE
COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THE HIGHER
REGION AND ANY RADIC A. B. C.
INEQUITIES THAT EVERY EXIST AND
A HALF BAKED OUR COMMUNITIES
FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THANK YOU
CENTER I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY
QUESTIONS I HAVE SUBMITTED.
COMMENTS AND I WANT TO
RECOGNIZE THE MANY ADVOCATES
THAT HAVE BEEN MORE- IN
COLLISIONS THAT WERE BORN OUT
OF THIS CRISIS HERE. NOT BLOODY
SO THAT I WHEN I SAID WE MEAN
IS THAT WHEN YOU DIE YOU. HEAR

JOINING US IN IT JOINING US TO
ARTICULATE THE SPECIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THE
BORDER COMMUNITIES EXIST AND NO
ONE KNOWS BETTER THAN SOMEBODY
WHO'S BEEN SERVING A BORDER
COMMUNITY AT THE GRASSROOTS
LEVEL SO WE APPRECIATE YOU YOU
WAY N. AND I THINK IT'S AN
IMPORTANT MESSAGE SO WE WANT TO
SEND TO THE LEADERSHIP HERE.
NOT ONLY THE SENATE OF THE
ASSEMBLY AND OF THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE AND ALL THE DEPARTMENTS.
THAT THERE ARE. CIRCUMSTANCES
THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH AT THE
BORDER THAT ARE ARE CAUSING
RISE TO THESE INCIDENTS AT
ALARMING RATES AND THAT IS
BECAUSE- THERE THERE IS JUST A
SUCH A- BUT THE AMAZING
INTEGRATION OF THE BORDER
COMMUNITIES MEXICO IN
CALIFORNIA ARE INTERTWINED IN
SO MANY COMPLEX WAYS. REAL
COUNTY IS THE SALAD BOWL OF
CALIFORNIA AND- THEY THEY
PRODUCE JUST A ON AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF AN IMPORTANT
INGREDIENTS THAT WE ALL CONSUME
AS AS A CONSUMERS. AND WE NEED
IMPERIAL COUNTY AND A WHAT'S
HAPPENING THERE IS- IS VERY
DANGEROUS TO ALL CALIFORNIA'S
PUBLICHEALTH ESPECIALLY IF IT
INTERRUPTS THE PRODUCTION OF
MANY IMPORTANT FOOD SOURCES FOR
OUR STATE SO THANK YOU FOR
THAT. ONE ASK A CENTER GONZALEZ
DID YOU WANNA MAKE ANY COMMENTS
OR QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING OR IN
PARTICULAR. THANK YOU SENATOR
WEST- AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE
PANEL PANELISTS AS WELL THIS IS
BEEN A VERY- VERY GOOD- HEARING
ON THESE VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC
AND SO- I JUST WANT TO
REITERATE A FEW THINGS THAT
HAVE BEEN MENTIONED BEFORE BUT
THE PROGRESS ON A SPECIFIC
READ. IS A- COUPLE OF THE
PANELISTS CAN SPECIFICALLY WHAT
THEY NEED AND- I HOPE WITH IN
OUR FOLLOW UP TOGETHER JOINTLY
THAT WE CAN PROVIDE A MEMO THAT
REALLY PROVIDES THIS
INFORMATION TO. PUT UP TO BOTH
HOUSES IN ADDITION GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE TO ENSURE THAT WE GET
THOSE NEEDS MET. AND TIMELY
MANNER- I WILL ALSO REITERATE
THE ICE DETENTION CENTERS AND-
FEDERAL DETENTION CENTER
ALTHOUGH THAT OUTSIDE PURVIEW I
KNOW THAT MANY THESE COMMUNITY
MEMBERS ARE ARE BEING
TRANSPLANT UP I- SHE'S. GETTING
TO HER IN A- COMMUNITY MEMBERS
GOING THESE FACILITIES I HAVE
LARGE- POSITIVE CASES WHICH IS
NOT A YOU KNOW AND MANY OF OUR
THOUGHTS. NOT A GOOD SPACE FOR
THEM TO- CONTINUE LIVING AND SO
AT SOME POINT WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO ADDRESS THAT WITH OUR
FEDERAL PARTNERS AND WORK VERY
CLOSELY TOGETHER WITH THEM- BUT
LASTLY I JUST WANTED TO ASK
ABOUT THE TESTING CAPACITY
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT HAD BEEN
LIGHTLY TOUCHED AND- ALTHOUGH-
RIGHT NOW I THINK THE STATE IS
MADE THAT A HUNDRED THOUSAND
TESTS PER DAY. SIX AND THERE IS
AREAS I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S
ANY DATA IN THE IMPERIAL SAN
DIEGO COUNTY AREA RELATED TO A
SYMPTOMATIC. OF PEOPLE BECAUSE
WE DON'T HEAR ENOUGH ABOUT IT
IN A SYMPTOMATIC ESPECIALLY THE
YOUNGER POPULATIONS. THAT ARE-
JUST SPREADING THE VIRUS SO- IF
THERE IS ANYONE ON THE PANEL
THAT CAN ANSWER THAT THAT WOULD
BE REALLY HELPFUL AND THEN
LASTLY I HAVE BY WILL SAY. IN
OUR FIRST HEARING FOR THE
PANDEMIC AGENCY MONTHS WE'D BE
CONNECTED WITH DR STEVE CORNEAS
FROM CST. UP AND I'D BE HAPPY.
TO ENSURE THAT SENATOR WHAT
OFFICE HAS HIS INFORMATION
BECAUSE HE HAS HIS OWN TESTING
INCREASING AND IS SYMPTOMATIC
DATA AS WELL SO. I'LL LEAVE IT
THERE THINK- WE HAVE MISTER
MIDDLE DO YOU ARE YOU PRIVY TO
ANY OF THE INFORMATION SHE
REFER. TO DURING THE A STRAIGHT.
YEAH I DON'T HAVE THE TO
PROVIDED DETAIL WHAT THEY'RE
DOING WHAT I DO HAVE IS- I
DEFINITELY AGREE WE WILL ONLY
HAVE LIMITED TEST SITES- I WANT
TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT THAT
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO- LOCAL
PRIVATE DOCTORS WERE THE FIRST
TO GO OUT AND DO. THESE
TRACKING CLINICS THEY DID NOT
HAVE THE P. B. ON HAND AND WE
MADE SURE THAT WE WORK WITH
THAT- YES WE CHEN REFERRED US
TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC OUT WHICH DâN MUNICH
EIGHTY TO THE COUNTY PUBLIC
OUT. THE THAT'S WHY IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A MUCH
BROADER STRATEGY THAT WE ARE
NOT MISSING OPPORTUNITIES SO WE
ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN DOING TESTS
FOR QUITE A FEW MONTHS BEFORE
THE STATE AND BEFORE BUT COUNTY
GOT MUTUAL THEM TO ACTUALLY GO
OUT AND DO THEIR- BUT- I. IN
THE WE HAVE YES BUT WE. MORE
TO. LOW IT GO BACK WHAT I
MENTIONED LEAST. ASIAN
TRANSPORTATION. YOU KNOW WE
STILL HAVE ABOUT AREAS AND GET
THE END OUT TO PEOPLE NON NOT
GETTING THE INFORMATION TO SUCH
MEDIA WE NEED TO GO OUT THERE
DORA BE ABLE TO AND SOCIAL
DISTANCE SEEMS. AND MANY
DIFFERENT TO REACH THE TO REACH
BOB SO IT'S THE JOY STRAT THAT
WE NEED NOT ONLY TO HAVE MORE
JESSE SIZE BECAUSE YOU CAN HAVE
MANY DEATHS INSIDE BUT IF YOU
DON'T HAVE TO CATION YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO GET THAT THE FAMILY
SHOULD BE ABLE AND IF THEY
DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION THEY
WANT BE ABLE NO YES AFTER THE
MAN EARLIER THE RECENT. WE
ACTUALLY HAVE THE SITUATION
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW WHERE A
FIRED HALF OF FIVE FIVE TO TEN
MILES AWAY FROM THE EMERGENCY
CENTER AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED
THAT- ALONG WITH THE COUNTY IS
ACTUALLY THE COUNTY IDENTIFIED
THERE'S TRANSPORTATION IS NOW
TRYING TO SOLVE THAT WHERE THE
COUNTIES ARE CHECKING WITH OUR
TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TO
TRY TO PROVIDE THAT
TRANSPORTATION BUT THAT IS
EXACTLY. THE ONLY WITH RIGHT.
SO YES WE NEED MORE TESTING WE
NEED MORE SUPPORT. BUT WE ALSO
NEED TO RETOOL AND I'M GLAD I
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE YOU
KNOW I ACTUALLY SAID YOU KNOW
WHAT ARE THE ASKED AND YOU KNOW
WE NEED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
TO START WITH. LET'S GET THESE
DOLLARS INTO LAW THESE
NONPROFITS WE NEED TO HELP THE
COUNTY CAN DO IT ALONE WE ALL
RECOGNIZE NONE OF US IN THE
LONG WE NEED TO DO IT TOGETHER.

OF THE OUTBREAKS AS ONE OF THE
LAW IN THE NATION. I THINK IT'S
WORTH IT THAT ONE DO SO ARE
OVER RUN BY COLD BILL OVER THE
LOW HOT AND A LOT OF OUR OF
BUDGET NIXON. REPRESENT PUBLIC
HEALTH RISK I ALSO WANTED TO
JUST CALM ON THAT- THE COMMENT
THAT WAS MADE BY SENATOR
GONZALEZ SAYING THAT THESE
FACILITIES ARE NOT WITHIN OUR
PURVIEW- IF YOU ACTUALLY. TAKE
INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT
THAT THESE FACILITIES ARE RUN
BY FOR PROFIT CONTRACTORS WHO
ROUTINELY VIOLATE THE TERMS OF
THE CONTRACT. YALLA ONCE THEY
ARE. OF THE TERM OF THE
CONTRACT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO
STATE REGULATION IN ADDITION TO
HAVE THE EXPLICIT AUTHORITY. TO
REGULATE AND INSPECT THE
CONDITIONS INSIDE THE
FACILITIES EXPLOSIVELY UNDER AB
ONE OH THREE. INTERNET GENERAL
HAS THE RIGHT. TO INSPECT THE
FACILITIES SO I THINK IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE
THAT- IN ADDITION TO. WHAT'S IN
THE CONTRACTS THESE PRIVATE
OPERATORS ARE ACTUALLY MANDATED
BY ICE. TO DEVELOP- MEDICAL
PLAN DOT ORG COORDINATED WITH
LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIAL.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THEY HAVE
NOT BEEN DOING UNTIL NOW. TO
ONCE AGAIN IF WE'RE GOING TO
SECURE THE STATE IF WE'RE GOING
TO DEAL CO IN NINETEEN THERE
HAVE TO BE A PLAN IN PLACE IN
WHICH WE- DO REGULATE THESE
FACILITIES. AND THE FOR PROFIT

CALIFORNIA LOG THE HAPPY
CONSEQUENCES THANK YOU THANK

THIS ROOM APPEARS TO BE EMPTY
MY NAME IS EVERY HAD STORM AND
I HAVE NO AFFILIATION. OTHER
THAN I'M A CONCERNED PERSON
HERE IN IN CALIFORNIA AND- I'M
STANDING HERE BECAUSE IT IS MY
OPINION THAT. EACH LEGISLATOR
HERE IN CALIFORNIA IT NEEDS TO
DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH. AND THAT
DOESN'T MEAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
IT MEANS THAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT AND
WE KNOW THIS. AND IF YOU WANT
THE TRUST OF THE PUBLIC YOU ALL
HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO DO
YOUR OWN ANALYSIS. NOT
MAINSTREAM MEDIA FOR INSTANCE
THE HOOVER INSTITUTE STUDY SAYS
THAT THERE'S THREE TIMES MORE
LIFE YEARS LOST FROM A LOCK
DOWN MEASURES THAN FROM COVE IT.
FROM THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR
DELAYED MEDICAL PROCEDURES TEEN
SUICIDE WE'RE MEASURING THESE
THINGS NOT MAINSTREAM MEDIA YOU
ALL HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO DO
YOUR OWN RESEARCH. YOU HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC
MORE CASES DOES NOT MEAN MORE
DEATH. YOU WORK FOR US WE THE
