A
Thank
you.
Everyone
for
joining
us
for
today's
facebook
and
youtube
and
tv
live
question
and
answer
session,
that
the
county
board
and
my
colleague
and
I
tacus
carantonis-
will
lead.
We've
been
doing
these
for
about
five
months,
town
halls.
Where
you
get
to
ask
questions
directly
of
our
experts
and
the
county
board.
We
want
to
spend
a
little
time
today,
focusing
on
the
current
status
of
cobit
19
in
arlington.
A
It's
important
to
remember
that,
even
though
virginia
has
lessened
restrictions
on
gatherings,
it
doesn't
mean
that
arlingtonians
should
be
relaxing
behaviors
we
know,
will
prevent
the
spread
of
this
deadly
virus.
Things
like
staying
home,
keeping
six
foot
distances
or
more
when
going
outside
for
essential
needs
and
wearing
face
coverings.
A
A
A
Before
we
get
started,
let's
share
a
few
highlights
and
I'll
send
it
to
you
takas,
to
give
us
a
little
bit
of
an
update.
B
Thank
you
matt,
and
I'm
I'm
excited
to
be
here.
I
hope
this
is
a.
This
has
been
a
very
helpful
institution
now
for
five
months.
It's
a
good
thing
to
have
a
direct
way
to
for
a
q
a
session
every
week,
so
we
have
been
in
phase
three
now
for
over
a
month
here
in
arlington,
we
have
seen
a
slight
uptick
in
daily
cases,
similar
to
the
increase
that
we
saw
at
the
end
of
june
and
beginning
of
july.
B
So
we
are
following
this
increase
in
in
reported
cases
very
closely,
but
only
time
will
tell
if
it
will
continue
to
rise.
We
will
hear
more
from
dr
varquez
and
our
our
public
health
director
shortly
as
you
mentioned
matt,
so
something
I
wanted
to
say:
testing
sites,
we
have
a
drive-through
testing
site
on
quincy
street,
a
reminder
to
everybody,
drive-through
questions,
testing
site
on
quincy
street,
in
partnership
with
quest
diagnostics
and
a
walk-up
site
at
arlington
mill,
which
we
run
in
partnership
with
our
the
arlington
free
clinic.
B
Both
are
continuing
to
serve
our
residents.
There
are
also
other
locations,
and
I
will
refer
to
them
a
little
bit
later,
we're
actively
removing
barriers
that
that
may
have
hindered
access
to
these
sites
before
so.
This
includes
offering,
in
the
quincy
street
site
in
the
drive-through
site,
no
appointment
required
tests,
but
you
have
to
have
a
referral
which
you
can
obtain
through
telemedicine
or
phone
consulting
consults,
so
you
don't
actually
have
to
go
into
an
office
to
get
your
referral.
B
We
are
waiving,
though,
physician
referrals
for
our
walk-up
site
at
arlington
mill,
which
is
you
know,
primarily
aimed
to
serve
our
uninsured
and
underinsured
residents,
and
this
we
are
running
with
a
partnership
with
arlington
free
clinic,
which
I
want
to.
We
all
want
to
thank
for
their
engagement
with
us
and
that
still
we
have
a
covet
website,
the
landing
site
and
it's
arlington
va.us,
slash
covet-19.
B
B
The
the
we
are
covered
program
so
to
date,
this
is
a
program,
that's
helping
everybody
to
comply
with
the
virginia's
requirement
for
face
coverings
for
mosques
in
public
buildings,
so
about
320
businesses,
multi-family
properties
and
religious
organizations
have
already
signed
on
for
that.
So
we
encourage
all
other
multi-family
buildings
and
faith
organizations
and
businesses
to
join
in
this
effort.
It's
really
very
important.
B
We
restaurant
outdoor
seating,
as
most
of
us,
have
noticed
we
have
already
71
places
that
have
been
approved
across
the
county.
We
received
a
total
of
106
applications
for
this,
what's
called
temporary
outdoor
seating
areas
which
helps
restaurants
to
reopen
and
expand
their
outdoor
space
and,
at
the
same
time,
being
very
safe
for
their
patrons.
B
We
also
help
helps
businesses
directly
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
have
already
are
already
out
of
the
door
to
help
388.
That's
the
exact
number
of
small
businesses
in
arlington
which
got
this
money
through
the
business
and
there's
a
business
emergency
grant
program.
B
Actually,
the
the
acronym
is
giving
resiliency
assets
near-term
grant.
This
program
has
been
providing
financial
assistance
to
arlington
small
businesses
that
have
been
impacted
by
covet
19..
So
this
is
an
awesome
result.
A
total
of
2.8
million
have
been
allocated
matt.
What
am
I
forgetting
from
my
account
of
what's
going
on
right
now,.
A
Guys
I
have
one
additional
update
that
I
know
will
make
you
particularly
happy
takas,
as
well
as
everyone
watching
this
call,
and
that
is,
I
just
received
a
a
a
legal
document
by
the
supreme
court
of
virginia
that
stays
evictions
until
september
the
7th,
and
so
many
have
been
working
on
that
issue.
A
That
is,
evictions
that
are
based
on
failure
to
pay
rent
due
to
covid
will
not
move
forward
until
after
september
7th.
Now,
if
you
there
are
other
evictions,
if
you
are
unsafe
in
your
apartment,
those
can
move
forward,
but
certainly
failure
to
pay
rent.
That's
a
great
update,
there's
also.
We
have
been
working
on
this
far
before
the
supreme
court's
order
today,
and
that
is,
the
state
has
provided
450
000
to
help
arlington
residents
who
have
lost
income
due
to
cova
919
pandemic
pay
with
their
rent
or
mortgage.
A
So
we
have
been
helping
a
lot
of
people
through
arlington
thrive
through
our
department
of
human
services
and
we're
very
grateful
for
both
of
their
work.
In
particular,
the
funding
can
be
a
lifeline
for
many
arlingtonians
who
lost
their
jobs
months
ago
and
have
yet
to
see
those
jobs.
Come
back,
you
are
on
our
minds
and
you
are
a
lot
of
our
focus.
A
A
And
we'll
do
our
best
to
get
to
as
many
questions
as
possible,
we'll
start
with
the
science
and
with
our
director
of
public
health,
dr
varghese,
and
the
first
question
we
have
is
on
the
public
health
metrics.
Now
that
we're
in
phase
three,
can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
of
how
we're
doing
dr
varghese.
D
Sure,
thank
you,
mr
d.
Ferrante.
They
always
say
a
picture's
worth
a
thousand
words.
So
I
was
thinking
that
I
would
share
my
screen.
If
I
can
all
right,
the
new
teams
has
changed
its
format,
but
we
will
overcome
this
and,
let's
see,
if
I'm
showing
the
right.
D
One
it's
taking
time:
okay,
it's
almost
the
right
one,
but
we'll
go
with
it.
So
so
what
people
are
seeing
here
is
a
graphic
which
I
hope
will
illustrate
the
case
experience
what
has
been
in
arlington.
D
So
this
is
on
the
y-axis
is
the
number
of
cases
and
on
the
x-axis
we
first
have
starting
since
march,
when
the
cases
began
in
arlington
and
then
the
numbers
right
above
the
months
are
the
weak
numbers
that
we
get.
We
report
the
data
to
cdc
so
that
you're
oriented
to
that
and
then
the
various
color
graphs
lines
are
the
ages
of
groups.
So
the
purple
line
is
those
under
18.
D
The
green
line
for
those
who
are
30
to
39
years,
the
gold
line
40
to
64
and
the
blue
line
65
and
older,
and
I
think
what
you
can
first
of
all
see
is
that
overall,
there
was
a
peak
in
the
april
may
time
for
all
of
these.
In
the
sense,
that's
our
largest
peak
and
we've
also
subsequently
seen
a
peak
starting
in
july,
and
let
me
break
this
down
for
you.
D
D
But
if
you
already
have
had
transmission,
it
takes
a
while
for
that
sort
of
transmission
to
stop
the
area
where
it
says:
phase
1
529
that
happened
in
week
22
of
the
year
and
that's
when
we
went
back
from
phase
zero,
where
nothing
under
10,
no
one
under
10
people
could
gather
at
22.
You
saw
that
you
could
actually
start
having
groups
of
10
or
under
gather
together,
and
the
lines
continue
to
go
down
week.
D
24,
which
is
when
phase
2
began,
was
when
those
who
you
could
have
up
to
50
people
gathering
the
the
lines
continued
to
go
down,
hoping
that
people
did
the
right
thing
by
the
time
we
got
to
week,
27,
which
was
july
7th
right
before
the
holiday.
D
D
Some
people
say
I
can
also
tell
you
that
it's
really
hard
to
have
causation
without
some
degree
of
correlation,
and
this
is
why
the
public
health
messages
we're
aware
of
this
trend
and
there
have
been
times
where
it's
been
going
up
and
down,
and
I
hope
mr
p
ferranti
that
we're
going
to
see
it
go
back
down.
But
we
need
to
realize
that
when
we
gather
together
we
can
actually
have
germ
transmission
and
I've
been
saying
and
you
all
have
it.
D
We
saw
community
spread
in
this
community,
and
that
means
the
germ
is
widespread,
maybe
not
as
widespread
in
april
and
may,
but
I
can't
find
the
single
source
of
the
few
sources
of
it
and
that's
the
definition
of
community-wide
transmission
in
the
layman's
terms.
And
so
what
I
want
people
to
remember
is
we're
going
to
continue
to
monitor
this.
But
that's
why
it's
important
to
remember
that.
Even
though
virginia
has
lessened
restrictions
on
gathering
it
doesn't
mean,
arlingtonians
should
be
relaxing
behaviors
we
know,
will
prevent
the
spread
of
kova
19
virus.
D
So
I
may
be
a
broken
record
on
this,
but
things
like
staying
home
is
the
preferred
option.
If
you
can
keeping
six
foot
distances
or
more
when
venturing
out
for
essential
needs
and
wearing
face
coverings
in
those
spaces,
we
continue
to
work
with
the
community
to
stress
the
importance
of
abiding
by
these
personal
behaviors.
D
Given
the
community
spread,
we
know
and
we're
seeing
people
want
to
do
things
as
you've
mentioned
like
going
to
a
restaurant
or
on
vacation,
and
so
just
reiterating
covet
is
not
going
away.
Despite
that,
the
fact
that
the
restrictions
have
been
lifted
so
I'm
just
so
happy.
Our
residents
have
been
cooperative
and
I
want
them
to
remain
committed
to
preventing
the
spread
of
coba
19
virus.
So
that's
where
I'm
going
to
leave
the
data.
If
you
have
specific
questions,
I'm
happy
to
go
into
more
detail.
A
Sure,
thank
you,
dr
varghese.
I
did
just
want
to
mention
one
item.
That
is
a
concern
to
to
us
in
in
that
graph.
There's
there's
a
a
red
line
that
covers
18
to
29
year
olds,
and
there
is
a
slight
uptick
and
many
who
watch
this
will
be,
might
look
at
the
daily
cases
and
we
have
not
seen
the
growth,
the
the
just
terrifying
growth
that
you
see
in
california,
texas,
florida
and
arizona.
A
But
I
think
you've
talked
about
dr
varghese.
How
once
there's
even
a
slight
uptick,
it
can
be
very,
very
hard
to
slow
the
increase
in
the
spread
of
the
virus.
So
this
is
a
little
bit
of
why,
at
least
from
my
perspective,
and
I
believe,
the
board
as
a
whole.
Really
we
are
very
concerned
about
any
increase
in
the
single
number
of
cases
and
particularly
want
to
make
sure
that
our
younger
residents
are
really
being
disciplined
and
and
being
careful.
A
D
Sure
thank
you
for
that
opportunity
to
point
out
some
of
the
specifics
on
ages.
So
before
I
get
to
the
red
line,
it's
not
surprising
that
this
was
a
problem
initially
for
people
who
were
40
to
64
and
65
been
older.
In
fact,
the
first
peak
you
can
see
happened
back
in
april
among
those
who
were
65
and
older,
probably
a
lot
related
to
the
long-term
care
facilities
and
the
fact
that
older
individuals
have
comorbidities
that
put
them
at
risk.
D
You
start
seeing
probably
with
essential
workers
and
other
activities
40
to
64
year
olds,
each
age
group
there's
been
a
bump.
You
saw
the
30
to
39
year
old
group
then
followed
by
the
18
to
29
year
old
group
after
the
reopenings,
the
first
two
phases.
All
the
lines
were
going
down.
All
the
three
major
groups
have
had
an
increase
so
to
be
fair,
the
30
to
39
year
old
group.
D
After
the
phase
3
reopening
july
1
has
gone
up
the
40
to
64
year
old
group,
there's
been
a
similar
increase,
but
the
greatest
increase
has
actually
also
been
between
those
for
ages
18
to
29.
So
this
all
is
real.
A
Well,
thank
you,
that's
very
helpful,
and
that
leads
right
into
our
next
big
question.
The
board
passed
a
new
ordinance
to
address
some
of
the
issues
that
we
just
talked
about,
and
we
want
to
turn
to
our
representative
from
the
police
department,
captain
rowling,
to
share
more
about
the
new
ordinance
on
physical
distances
and
streets,
and
that's
a
that.
Question
also
involves
for
sure
the
issue
of
the
art,
the
work
we've
done
on
the
arlington
restaurant
initiative.
E
We
worked
together
with
other
agencies
such
as
the
fire,
marshal's
office,
arlington,
economic
development,
abc
public
health,
and
we
formed
a
task
force
and
we
go
out
and
we
we
work
together
collectively
with
these
restaurants
and
businesses
to
find
out
what
their
needs
are,
and
we
try
to
share
ideas
and
work
together
in
order
to
make
sure
that
the
businesses
can
thrive
and
do
things
in
a
safe
and
efficient
manner,
especially
with
covet
and
what's
going
on
right
now,
we're
trying
to
really
do
everything
we
can
using
social
media
and
other
networks
and
other
avenues,
such
as
this
forum
here
in
reference
to
get
the
message
out.
E
Okay,
this
is
what
we
are
looking
for.
This
is
what
the
county
expectations
are.
What
can
we
do
to
help
each
other
to
thrive
and
make
sure
that
businesses
can
continue
to
operate
in
a
safe
and
efficient
manner
with
that
the
county
board,
as
you
mentioned,
sir,
passed
the
county
ordinance
in
reference
to
trying
to
combat
what
the
doctor
was
just
going
over
in
reference
to
that?
E
As
was
mentioned,
this
seems
to
be
especially
while
people
are
waiting
in
lines
as
that's
why
the
this
ordinance
seemed
to
be
passed,
so
the
ordinance
states
this.
So
people
understand
that
pedestrians
shall
base
signs
and
other
signals
erected
on
highways,
streets,
sidewalks
and
public
spaces
adjacent
there,
too,
used
by
pedestrians,
prohibiting
pedestrians
from
congregating
in
groups
of
four
or
more
than
four
persons
in
those
places
and
requiring
those
pedestrians
to
maintain
a
physical
separation
from
others
not
less
than
six
feet
at
all
times.
E
So,
basically,
what
we're
asking
is
that
signs
eventually
may
be
posted
if
we
cannot
get
this
under
control
and
if
they
are
posted,
pedestrians
are
going
to
be
limited
to
not
gathering
or
congregating
in
more
than
three
people
right.
Anything
there's
more
than
three
people
that
aren't
space
60
to
park
could
be
in
violation.
Now
we
hope
to
avoid
that.
We
hope
to
avoid
any
type
of
enforcement
action.
That
is
not
our
goal.
E
We
would
really
like
to
keep
continuing
educating
last
night,
our
ari
team
and
task
force
went
out
and
did
education
with
like
approximately
20
restaurants
and
establishments
and
passed
out
flyers,
and
this
is
what
the
code
is,
and
this
is
what
we
can
ask
of
you,
and
what
can
we
do
for
you?
So
we
shared
that
information
and
we
continue
to
educate,
to
try
to
get
voluntary
compliance
and
not
have
any
type
of
enforcement
action.
E
So
before
any
implementation,
the
county
will
provide
signage
and
notification
in
advance,
taking
if
we're
going
to
take
any
enforcement
action,
so
there
will
be
plenty
of
social
media
or
campaigns
that
actually
educate
the
community
that
hey
signs
are
posted.
The
plan
is
to
have
some
kind
of
map
of
where
those
signs
may
be
located.
E
So
people
understand
where
to
look
for
those
we're
not
out
to
try
to
get
anybody,
we're
just
trying
to
seek
voluntary
compliance,
and
that's
our
ultimate
goal,
trying
to
educate
first
and
see
if
we
can
work
together
to
to
combat
this
virus.
A
Great
well
just
a
first
arlington
restaurant
initiative
has
been
nationally
recognized
and
that's
really
credit
to
you.
Captain
rowling
and
then
officer
jim
musteris,
who
also
works,
works
for
you
and
others,
but
this
is
a
way
that
we
have
worked
with
our
restaurants
under
virginia
law.
A
It's
just
restaurants,
we
might
think
of
them
as
bars,
but
it's
technically
just
restaurants
or
what
our
establishments
are
called,
but
we
have
worked
over
the
past
years
and
made
things
safer
in
general
and
that
those
relationships
are
critical
to
what
we're
trying
to
do
now.
We've
all
said,
atakus
has
said
it
and
my
other
all
of
the
board
members
have
said
it.
A
We
would
much
much
prefer
to
get
voluntary
compliance
with
social
distancing,
but
we're
seeing
long
lines
outside
of
bars
and
restaurants,
and
that
is
really
of
concern
and
the
graph
that
dr
parkese
just
showed
is
an
example
of
why
we
are
concerned
so
we'll
have
more
questions,
but
just
a
big.
Thank
you,
captain
rowling.
For
that
background,
and
a
couple
of
just
two
last
points.
A
This
is
not.
This
is
focused
on
a
it's
a
traffic
infraction
of
of
a
cash
ticket.
We
are
not
seeking
to
to
to
have
antagonizing
or
difficult
conversations.
We
just
want
people
to
be
safe,
because
we
know
that
if
the
virus
stays
alive,
that'll
be
a
real
and
if
we
continue
with
growth,
the
exponential
growth
that
dr
varghese
was
mentioning.
We've
got
a
real
concern,
so
that's
just
a
note
about
it.
A
Implementation
also
wouldn't
happen
till
until
after
there
were
signs
put
in
the
in
the
situations
and
the
specific
places
where
broadly
across
the
county,
there
might
be
concerns
near
typically,
these
restaurants,
in
different
parts
of
the
county.
So
with
that,
let's
go
ahead
and
talk
about.
B
My
I
wanted
to
say
that
appealing
for
voluntary
compliance
is
not
equal
doesn't
doesn't
say
that
doesn't
say
that
that
this
is
not
a
less
important
or
less
urgent
thing.
Voluntary
computer
appliance
is
absolutely
urgent.
Actually
voluntary
compliance
is
what
everybody
has
been
doing
for
for
so
long,
and
if
you
have
seen
a
positive,
you
know
dipping
in
the
numbers.
B
It's
because
everybody
in
arlington
has
been
voluntarily
being
compliant
during
phase
one
and
phase
two
and
still
having
phase
three,
but
that
that
is
very
important,
and
the
ordinance
sends
also
signal
that
we
are
watching
that
so
government
is
watching
that
we
are
really
concerned
the
risks
and
the
stakes
are
very
high
for
everybody.
It's
not
only
for
the
safety
of
an
individual,
that's
the
safety
of
the
entire
community.
It's
a
public
health
issue.
It's
also
very
important
for
our
for
our
economy,
for
the
jobs
and
everything
else.
B
So
I
believe
that
this
should
be
very
clear
that
we
take
it
very
very
seriously,
and
you
know,
as
you
have
seen
in
the
region,
things
can
escalate,
or
you
know
we
we
can
see.
You
know
more
drastical
measures
overnight.
Almost
if,
if
the
numbers
are
not
if
we
are
not
going
to
tame
these
curves.
A
Sure
I'm
glad
you
mitch
just
how
important
and
how
critical
it
is
that
we
do
this.
So
we're
on
to
the
questions
and
I'll
start
just
with
a
question
we
got
on
the
schools.
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
of
this
and
I
I'll
touch
a
little
bit
on
it,
but
I
also
believe
it
would
be
either
jim
schwartz
or
dr
aaron
miller.
A
The
first
part
of
it
is
about
what
the
county
board
is
doing
and
then
there's
an
another
question
of
of
what
we
are
doing
on
the
staff
side
to
collaborate
and
coordinate
with
our
schools.
I'll
just
say
that
the
county
board
has
been
is
keenly
aware
of
the
strain
on
parents
and
the
concerns
that
teachers
have
regarding
opening
schools,
and
we
have
been
collaborating.
A
One
big
component
of
this
is,
of
course,
child
care
for
our
teachers
as
school
opens
on
virtually
on
september
8th,
but
this
is
a
high
priority
for
each
of
us
on
the
board.
We
are
collaborating.
We're
also
mindful
that
we
want
to
respect
this
school
board's
lead
as
well
as
they
make
the
decisions
with
respect
to
instructions
and
and
opening
along,
of
course,
with
our
superintendent.
Who
is
communicating
regularly?
So
that's
my
thoughts
on
the
schools,
don't
know
jim
or
aaron.
A
If
you
had
points
you
wanted
to
add
with
respect
to
collaborating
in
the
schools.
C
Not
a
whole
lot
dad
mr
d
franti
and
first
let
me
apologize
to
everybody
for
some
reason.
My
camera
is
not
working,
so
I'm
out
here,
but
in
voice
only
today,
I
I
think
you
largely
hit
on
it.
I
would
emphasize
that
dr
duran
is
in
daily,
if
not
multiple
times
a
day
contact
with
the
county
manager.
C
They
are
obviously
collaborating
coordinating
on.
You
know,
activities
that
relate
to
the
school's
operations,
because
we
do
recognize
that
so
many
families
are
affected
by
the
virtual
learning
environment.
C
You
know
want
to
get
back
to
normal
schooling
as
much
as
possible,
but
that's
not
going
to
be
in
the
cards
in
the
early
in
the
early
portion
of
the
school
year.
As
far
as
money
is
concerned,
there
is,
we
do
have
cares,
act
money.
C
I
know
the
board
has
been
briefed
on
that
and
some
will
be
allocated
to
the
schools,
we're
still
waiting
for
the
schools
to
work
through
a
little
bit
more
of
their
analysis.
Before
we
settle
on
an
exact
amount,
but
the
schools,
the
schools
will
be
well
taken.
Care
of
you
know
to
meet
their
needs
so
that
they
can
open
safely.
A
Great,
thank
you
and
I'm
glad
you
touched
on
the
funding
component.
We
there
has
been
discussion.
School
board
had
discussion
last
week
on
that
and
we
have
been
in
regular
contact
really.
We
want
to
continue
to
get
a
sense
of
the
scale
and
scope
of
the
need
and
partner
with
the
schools
to
address
this
high
priority.
A
Schools
are
a
key
part
to
this
to
the
heart
and
the
center
of
arlington
as
a
community,
so
we
on
the
county
board
are
partnering
on
a
regular
basis
and
also
really
thrilled
that
that
daily
contact
between
superintendent,
duran
and
the
and
the
county
manager
can
continue
takas.
You
may
have
you
want
to
take
the
next
question,
either
schools
or
whatever
subject
you
see
next
in
our
in
our
chat
or
through
facebook,.
B
I
think
one
one
important
question
to
to
answer
is
so
there
is
and-
and
I
believe
it
has
been
answered
many
times,
but
it's
good
to
reiterate.
So
I
see
here,
hardly
anyone
in
ballston
is
using
a
mask.
B
Now
it
comes
with
that
and
some
somebody
else
is
also
asking
that
people
are
biking
on
without
wearing
a
mask
or
not
very
often
wearing
masks,
and
the
bottom
line
of
this
question
is:
what
can
we
do
to
quote
unquote
enforce
the
wearing
of
a
mask
or
you
know
to
make
it
compulsory
or
not
so
that
I
would
like
to
maybe
maybe
dr
burgess
or.
D
Well
I'll
I'll
start,
mr
karen
thomas
and
anyone
else
can
join
in,
we
are
following
what
actually
the
governor
has
provided
in
his
borders,
and
so
I
think
people
are
frustrated
that,
but
there
were
no
recommendations
in
most
circumstances,
to
have
a
requirement
for
face
coverings
in
outdoor
settings,
because
in
general
the
risk
is
lower
if
you're
not
actually
congregating
is,
would
be
once
again.
D
The
science
portion
of
it
is
the
closer
you
get
indoor
or
outdoors
you're,
going
to
have
more
risk
of
germ
transmission,
but
obviously
the
same
distances
inside
and
outside
there's
one
difference.
The
there's,
a
a
philosophy
or
a
rule
of
thumb
that
environmental
services
provides.
The
solution
to
pollution
is
dilution,
and
if
you
consider
germs
a
form
of
pollution
much
more
easily,
the
diffusion
in
the
air
allows
you
to
be
at
the
lowest
risk.
You
can
compared
to
the
same
circumstance
inside
so
we're
doing
what
we
are
within
the
law.
A
E
A
That's
a
helpful,
and
I
know
that
dr
varghese
are
handling
multiple
different
items
and
so
we'll
we'll
have
dr
miller
also
be
ready
to
help
with
us
as
you're
juggling
a
bunch
of
different
things.
A
At
the
same
time,
we
did
get
a
question,
dr
miller,
that
I
know
you
if
you
follow
the
data
and
we
got
a
question
about
metrics
and
with
respect
to
reopening
of
schools-
and
you
know
the
slight
there's
just
a
tiny
uptick
in
the
number
of
cases,
but
I
guess
the
question
is
a
little
bit
if
we
haven't
seen
a
significant
increase
in
cases.
A
This
parent
is
writing
and
saying.
Why
would
we
have
to
keep
schools
closed?
Because
this
is
a
challenge,
and
I
know
that
the
superintendent
has
thoughts
on
that,
but
also,
I
know
that
you
look
at
the
data
fairly
carefully
and
and
wondered
if
you
could
add
some
insight
there.
F
Sure
so
I'll
I'll
start
a
little
bit
and
if
dr
morges
is
available,
he
can
he
can
chime
in.
But
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
I'll
say
is
you've
got
to
remember.
F
It
means
that,
generally,
what
we
see
is
reflective
of
what
happened
as
dr
varghese
mentioned
two
to
three
weeks
prior
in
those
time
frames
when
he
was
going
through
that
graph
with
us
earlier,
and
so
yes
we're.
We.
We
see
these
slight
upticks,
because
we
do
have
some
changes
and
obviously
have
you
know
ups
and
downs,
but
stay
rather
level.
F
The
titration
that
dr
murgus
has
talked
about
is
is
what's
very
important
in
this,
and
we
know
that
making
significant
adjustments
such
as
reopening
schools,
such
as
reopening
places
of
business
and
large,
allowing
large
gatherings,
can
have
a
significant
impact,
and
so
not
only
in
the
public
health
guidance
that
I
know
he
provides.
But
in
our
side
and
looking
at
things
like
testing
hospital
capacity
and
the
ability
of
our
medical
system
to
handle
intense
cases.
D
Reuben
sure,
thank
you,
aaron.
I
think
what
people
also
need
to
realize
is
that
there
isn't
a
one-size-fits-all
approach
to
this
decision-making.
So
I
know
people
have
asked
the
question.
For
example,
you
know
the
county
may
make
certain
decisions
and
it
may
be
different
from
the
decisions
that
say.
Perhaps
the
business
or
the
school
system
may
need
to
make
each
has
a
different
set
of
risk
factors.
D
I
think
that
they
have
to
be
considering
so
dr
duran
has
to
think
about
not
only
the
health
issues,
staffing
issues
and
the
picture
for
the
welfare,
children
and
parents
and
so
on.
So
those
are
not
the
same
equation
for
all
comers,
so
I
think
we
need
to
extend
some
grace
to
folks
and
saying
they're
making
a
decision
for
the
with
the
best
information
they
have
at
that
moment.
D
We
do
work
with
the
school
system
on
that,
and
so,
but
it's
not
just
a
health
decision
that
they're
necessarily
basing
all
of
these
decisions
on,
as
as
I
understand
it,.
A
Sure,
well,
thank
you
very
much
both
of
you
if
folks
have
concerns
there's.
Certainly
if
you
look
at
israel's
experience
with
respect
to
when
they
open
schools,
that
is,
is
certainly
relevant
as
superintendent
duran
and
the
school
board
work
together
to
make
that
decision.
So
we
are
very
conscious
that
students
most
in
need,
low-income
students
and
students
with
special
learning
needs,
need
instruction,
we're
also
very
mindful
of
the
parents,
many
parents
who
have
expressed
to
us
how
hard
this
is.
A
So
we
those
are
some
of
the
factors
that
try
to
answer
the
questions
on
schools
and
child
care.
Where
we
know
we
have
to
provide
child
care
for
some
of
our
teachers
and
county
employees.
But
if
you
don't
do
it
for
teachers,
we
can't
get
there
so
we're
working
away
on
it.
Talk
us
over
to
you
for
next
questions.
B
D
I'm
sure
I
think
this
one
would
be
for
me.
I
think
as
a
reminder,
you
need
to
the
reason
why
the
county
partnered
with
virginia
department
of
health
and
the
arlington
free
clinic
to
offer
the
testing
site
at
the
arlington
mill
site,
which
is
in
the
22204
area.
It
provided
us
with
a
county
building
where
it
would
be
in
the
heart
of
a
large
portion
of
where
our
cases
are
coming
from,
and
we
have
seen
an
increased
use
of
that
facility
by
the
folks
in
the
22204
zip
code.
B
That
that
other
programs
that
economically
support
these
you
know
many
of
our
fellow
citizens
are
a
long-time
tool
for
many
of
whom
are
experiencing
unemployment
right
now
and-
and
you
know
really
tough
times,
we
are
really
very
concerned
about
the
lapsing
of
federal
help
here,
but
still
we
have
appropriated
money
to
and
and
with
the
help
of
many
non-profits,
especially
arlington
thrive.
B
We
are
assisting
these
households
with
rent
assistance,
food
assistance,
but,
most
importantly,
so
we
are
continuously
focusing
on
how
to
comprehensively
adjust
to
the
charges
of
this
crisis
still
a
lot
to
do,
but
we
are,
we
are
on
it.
We
are
really
doing
that.
A
Great,
so
we've
gotten
a
couple
of
other
questions,
one
a
question
about
what
protection
do
homeowners
have
if
a
tenant
can't
pay
their
rent
or-
and
there
are
some
federal
protections
we
can
also
put
in
the
chat
or
available
through
facebook-
the
link
to
the
eviction
moratorium,
which
will
help
tenants.
A
There
are
also
protections
for
landlord
and
landlords
in
in
federal
law
and
we're
just
mindful
that
it's
a
challenging
moment
for
both
homeowners
and
and
landlords,
as
well
as
tenants
and
tenants,
really
have
been
a
huge,
in
fact,
the
focus
of
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we've
done
for
specific
data.
On
our
cases.
A
We
have
a
new
tool
that
we're
now
using
on
our
covet
19
page,
that
includes
zip
code
based
data
and
also
the
other
needs
that
are
there
there's
a
question
with
respect
to
bars
and
restaurants,
and
I
think
this
would
be
and
why
this
is
partly
county
board
point,
but,
I
think,
probably
also
maybe
jim
schwartz.
You
might
have
thoughts
on
this
as
well,
but
there's
a.
A
Why
haven't
we
done
more
to
seek
to
to
try
to
keep
people
from
congregating
in
bars
and
restaurants,
and
there
is
a
governor's
order
on
that
issue
and
we
have
been
seeking
to
stay
as
a
region
in
line
with
our
adjoining
regions,
even
as
we
are
concerned.
But
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
talk
at
all
about
phase
three
jen.
C
Well,
just
briefly,
mr
d,
franti,
the
in
phase
three
restaurants
are
allowed
to
be
open
with
indoor
dining
at
fifty
percent
of
their
normal
capacity
and
while
maintaining
six
foot
distances
between
dining
tables
bars
are
not
supposed
to
be
open,
except
as
pass-through
areas,
but
they
can
be
used
for
seated
occupants,
but
there
isn't
supposed
to
be
people
standing
at
bars.
The
way
that
we
normally
envision
that
kind
of
activity
going
on.
C
As
captain
rowling
mentioned
earlier,
the
arlington
restaurant
initiative,
our
cross,
departmental
teams,
are
out
there
trying
to
educate,
not
just
the
restaurants,
who
are
great
partners
with
us
in
these
kinds
of
endeavors,
but
also
taking
the
opportunity
to
let
the
the
public
outside
the
restaurants
know
that
social
distancing
and
mask
wearing
still
becomes
important.
C
In
the
restaurant
initiative
and
combined
with
the
governor's
orders,
our
public
health
department
does
have
the
ability
to
site
restaurants,
and
this
is
on
the
interior
of
a
restaurant.
This
is
inside
where
that
activity
is
going
on
if
they
are
not
maintaining
adherence
to
the
governor's
order
under
phase
three,
then
obviously
they'll
be
instructed
to
do
so.
We're
not
looking
to
jump
automatically
to
site
people,
but
that
could
be
a
consequence
of
restaurants
that
are
not
complying
with
a
phase
three
order.
So
we
do.
C
We
do
have
people
out
there
again,
as
captain
rowling
mentioned
we're
trying
to
do
this.
You
know
based
on
education
and
cajoling.
You
know
people
to
do
the
right
thing,
but
we
do
have
a
little
bit
of
power
when
it
comes
to
inside
the
restaurant.
That
power
is
vested
with
our
public
health
department.
A
Great
thank
you
jim
for
covering
that
piece
of
it,
and
it
is
the
public
health
department
and
our
police.
A
We
we've
been
stepping
up
enforcement
as
we
seek
to
gain
compliance,
which
is
so
important,
but
to
do
so
in
a
way
that
is,
is
getting
people
to
see
the
right
thing
and
then
do
it
and
not
an
easy,
easy
task.
I
did
want
to
just
check
captain
rowling.
I
know
if
there's
anything
you
wanted
to
add
with
respect
to
you
know
the
work
that
you're
doing
to
partner
with
public
health
and
also
some
of
the
challenges
of
how
you're
seeking
to
serve
the
community
and
also
keep
people
safe.
A
Don't
know
if
you
have
any
brief
thoughts
on
that,
not
an
easy
thing
to
do.
E
Yeah,
as
mentioned
before,
is
we
are
working
with
them
hand-to-hand
pretty
much
on
a
daily
basis,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
resources
out
there.
We
put
together
guides
for
the
business
community
and
the
restaurants
in
order
to
provide
best
practices
and
how
they
can
move
forward
and
open
safely,
and
we
continue
to
go
out
and
educate
and
we
passed
out
flyers.
Like
I
mentioned
last
night,
we
did
it
again
last
week
and
we're
going
to
do
it
again
next
week
and
we're
going
to
keep
educating
the
best.
E
So
hopefully
we
get
to
the
point
where
we
never
have
to
take
any
type
of
enforcement
action
to
even
include
putting
signs
up,
because
if
we
have
to
put
the
signs
up,
that
means
that
maybe
we're
just
not
getting
to
the
point
where
we
need
to
be
so
we'll
keep
working
with
them
day
in
and
day
out.
They
have
all
our
contact
information
and
we'll
continue
to
work
together
collaboratively
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
this.
The
best
way
we
can.
A
Sure
really
appreciate
it
not
not
easy
work,
but
very
important,
and
so
we
also,
I
know
takas
you
thank
you.
Captain
rowling,
I
think
takus
you
might
want
to.
I
wanted
to
make
a
little
point
about
the
process
for
the
we
are
going
to
look
at
it
again
in
september,
the
yes
yeah
the
ordinance
go
ahead.
B
And-
and
actually
we
have
also
a
question
from
from
from
somebody,
I
think,
on
facebook,
how
is
the
board
using
their
advisors
board,
they
appointed
board
appointed
advisory
commissions
in
pandemic
response,
not
just
helping
with
food
distribution
but
related
to
their
advisor
areas
of
expertise
and
the
so
as
the
as
the
as
the
cases
evolve.
B
As
as
a
the
day-to-day
you
know,
monitoring
of
the
situation
goes,
the
board
will
have
to
take
to
see
we'll
have
to
make
decisions
and
react
fast
and
make
make
sure
that
we
respond,
but
all
these
decisions
most
of
them-
and
in
this
case
this
ordinance
will
come
back
to
the
to
the
ordinary
to
the
regular
board
meeting
in
in
september,
which
means
that
the
commissions
that
are
involved
here
will
be
consulted,
and
there
will
be
ample
room
for
for
comment
for
public
input
and
also
with
regards
to
other.
B
B
This
is
really
very
important
and
very
very
necessary
for
us,
so
we
will
be
talking
a
lot
about
about
the
details
and
about
how
how
best
we
roll
out
you
know
these
measures
and
other
and
other
policies
that
relate
to
the
response
we
have
to
the
kovit
19
pandemic.
A
Great,
thank
you.
I
think
it's
important
we
are.
We
are
going
to
be
listening
and
engaging
over
the
coming
weeks
on
this
for
sure,
for
certain
question,
dr
miller,
you
question
about
testing
and
how
long
it
currently
is
taking.
F
Sure
yeah,
so
I
saw
that
there
was
a
response
in
the
chat
box,
which
is
great
but
for
our
sites,
because
those
are
the
ones
that
we
have
the
data
on.
Obviously
the
in
partnership
with
quest
of
the
north
quincy
site
and
then
relying
on
the
virginia
department
of
health
laboratory
services
in
partnership
with
arlington
free
clinic
at
our
arlington
mills.
F
We're
seeing
turnaround
times
on
average
between
three
and
five
days.
Those
are
significantly
better
than
some
of
the
other
turnaround
times
that
we
see
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
we
have
been
able
to
establish
individuals
going
to
those
sites
as
having
a
higher
priority,
because
they
have
a
doctor,
screening
and
referral
and
because
we
are
using
the
state
testing
system
in
arlington
mill
and
using
quest
as
a
national
lab
provider.
F
So
we're
able
to
sort
of
increase
the
priority
for
those
individuals
visiting
those
sites
to
ensure
that
they
have
a
faster
turnaround,
and
I
did
see
a
question
about
pool
testing
and
some
of
those
other
things.
The
virginia
department
of
health
and
the
division
of
consolidated
laboratory
services.
Dcls
administers
the
state's
testing
protocols,
incest
and
state
testing
procedures.
F
We
at
the
local
level
have
asked,
through
our
health
district,
as
well
as
our
public
health
and
emergency
management
partners,
that
the
commonwealth
consider
things
like
pooled
testing
using
more
high
throughput
and
high
availability
labs
in
order
to
increase
capacity.
F
There
are
a
significant
number
of
things
that
go
along
with
that
and
dr
varghese
can
talk
specifically
more
about
them,
but
we
have
put
forth
those
requests,
and
we
are
you
know,
following
the
guidelines.
D
D
People
aren't
aware,
but
you
know
like
the
nasal
swabs
aren't
necessarily
you
know:
you're,
not
using
q-tips.
You
have
to
actually
have
specialized
material
to
collect
that
and
you
have
to
have
the
capacity
somewhere
in
the
world
if
it's
not
in
the
us
to
produce
enough
for
that
to
arrive
places,
and
so
there
are
supply
chain
issues
for
things
like
that.
There
are
supply
chain
issues
on
the
reagents
that
are
used
the
chemicals
to
detect
the
virus
in
the
laboratory.
So
it
is
not
as
simple
as
just
saying
stand
it
up.
D
If
we,
if
it
was
that
plentiful,
would
love
to
be
able
to
do
that
even
here
in
arlington,
so
just
want
to
remind
people.
There's
that
context
that
we
have
to
remember
it
doesn't
mean
we
can't
do
things,
but
testing
is
important
and
we
still
need
to
do
these
other
things,
and
I
know
that
it
sounds
like
a
broken
record.
But
a
way
to
prevent
exposure
is
to
keep
your
distance.
A
Sure,
thank
you.
Both
dr
miller
and
dr
varghese
really
appreciated
takas
any
other
questions.
B
Maybe
quick
for
dr
miller
and
dr
vargas,
we
got
here
a
question
about
this
app
that
I
believe
the
the
governor
mentioned
a
couple
of
days
ago.
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
covet
wise.
What
do
we
know
about
that?
This
is
the
latest
it's
about
tracing
now,
not.
D
Sure
so,
first
of
all,
I
think
I
want
to
put
things
in
context
of
contact
tracing
and
case
investigation.
D
They
want
to
improve
themselves
and
they
don't
want
to
infect
other
people,
and
so
those
are
the
important
things
and
that's
happening
throughout
the
region.
The
cohort
wise
app
is
another
tool
in
armamentarium
to
actually
help
those
who
want
to
consider
using
the
app
and
they
can
find
more
information
on
the
virginia
department
of
health
website
and
if
they
register
the
way
it
works
is
if
they
ever
are
identified.
D
If
we
tell
them
they're
a
case
and
they
choose
to
they'll,
get
a
pin
number
from
if
they're
in
arlingtonian
they'll
get
it
from
arlington
public
health,
they
can
enter
it
into
their
app
and
then
that
information
will
then
go
to
anyone
that
that
person's
phone
came
in
contact
with,
in
a
sense
through
bluetooth
technology
in
over
a
14
day
period
before
that,
and
it's
reportedly
kept
in
a
way
that
the
confidentiality
has
been
otherwise
maintained.
D
That's
the
concept,
and
then
people
have
to
decide
if
they're
comfortable
with
it
and
so
on.
Obviously
any
or
all
tools
are
welcome,
and
I
want
to
reassure
people.
There
is
actually
a
robust
system
for
contact
tracing
and
we've
been
fortunate.
The
vast
majority
of
our
folks
are
forthcoming
with
names,
and
the
people
want
to
actually
cooperate.
I
don't
know
if
aaron,
you
have
anything
to
add.
A
Great,
so
I
there's
a
couple
of
questions
about
sidewalks
and
ensuring
that
people
who
are
on
sidewalks
will
wear
masks,
or
at
least
be
very,
very
careful
to
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
close
within
six
feet
and
thereby
infecting
others,
and
this
is
a
real
challenge.
I
think
all
of
us
have
seen
people
both
running
in
the
streets
if
they're
jogging,
so
as
to
stay
away
from
others
also
running
with
masks
on
and
biking
with,
masks
on.
A
This
is
a
case
where
you
know
we
just
want
to
be
really
careful
to
stay
distant,
stay
socially
distant
and
at
least
six
feet
and
that's
critical
and
when
you're
in
a
place
where
you
know
there
will
be
a
lot
of
foot
traffic,
you
need
to
be
wearing
a
mask,
and
so
that's
an
answer
to
that
question.
The
same
is
true
for
multi-unit
buildings,
your
apartment
buildings.
A
I
live
in
a
multi-minute
building
and
every
time
I
step
out
of
my
unit,
I
have
a
mask
on
to
go
in
the
down
to
get
mail
and
to
go
in
the
elevators,
so
those
are
just
we.
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
that
we
strongly
encourage
this
and
we
know
there's
a
lot
at
stake,
but
this
is
something
that
is
really
going
to
be
about
working
together
to
get
responsibility
in
compliance
rather
than
punitive
measures,
but
that's
just
in
it's
too
much
in
apartment
buildings.
A
So
we
did
have
one
question
about
phase
two
and
cohesion,
and
this
is,
I
think,
probably
dr
varghese.
You
might
touch
on
this.
A
The
question
is
a
little
bit
framed
for
the
board
and
also
for
our
what
we're
doing
to
work
with
other
adjoining
jurisdictions
and
our
chair,
libby
garvey,
is
talking
with
others,
and
I
know
that
at
every
level,
public
health
at
the
county
manager
and
at
the
board
level
we're
regularly
trying
to
work
in
concert
with
the
national
capital
region
as
well,
as
you
know,
alexandria
and
the
localities
in
northern
virginia.
But
you
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
coordination.
D
Sure
I'll
I'll
be
happy
to
talk
about
the
health
side
and
then
we'll
turn
over
dr
miller
into
mr
schwartz.
On
the
health
side,
the
health
directors
meet
actually
in
northern
virginia.
The
five
health
directors
meet
every
morning
at
7
30
in
the
morning
for
a
half
hour
to
45
minutes
every
day,
talking
about
any
latest
developments,
how
we're
doing
interpreting
or
implementing
things
in
the
region
and
have
actually
worked
with
the
state
health
department
have
them
on
our
calls.
D
D
Once
a
week
where
we
have
some
sort
of
discussion
about
what
each
of
the
health
districts
or
in
the
region
are
doing,
obviously
one
of
the
things
that
people
have
to
remember
is
that
when
across
the
state
lines,
you
know
it's
going
to
be
sharing
information,
but
we
have
three
different
state
systems
and
I
think
sometimes
people
get
frustrated
that
if
the
district
of
columbia
can
take
action,
it's
because
well
they
are
a
state.
They
are
not
northern
virginia
where
we're
within
this
commonwealth
structure
and
so
on.
D
So
but
we
are
coordinating
all
the
time
and
in
fact
we're
meeting
this
sunday
to
discuss
things
in
anticipation
of
our
nbrc
discussion
on
monday,
so
the
five
are
meeting
at
eight
in
the
morning.
So
aaron
is
there
anything
you'd
like
to
talk
about
the
emergency
managers
and
what's
happening
in
the
region.
F
Sure
thank
you.
So
I
will
say
you
know
the
northern
virginia
emergency
managers,
as
well
as
those
within
the
national
capital
region,
still
closely
coordinate
on
issues
like
hospital
bed,
availability
watching
the
hospital
and
healthcare
system
status
in
partnership
with
our
health
care
and
hospital
coalitions,
coordinating
on
things
like
ppe
purchases
for
a
fire
and
ems
and
making
sure
that
those
levels
and
system
abilities.
You
know
we
minimize
the
impact
where
we
can,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I'm
actually
supposed
to
be
on
a
northern
virginia
emergency.
Manager's
call
right
now.
F
I'm
trying
to
balance
between
the
two
like
most
everybody
to
be
able
to
meet
those
obligations,
continue
to
cooperate
with
my
colleagues
and
make
sure
we're
doing
what
we
can
and
at
those
levels.
As
reuben
mentioned.
A
Sure
so
jim,
I
bet
you
would
say
that
we
reuben
and
aaron
have
covered
most
of
it.
I
do
know
that
you
also
have
been
working
with
the
hospitals
and
the
county
manager
works
with
his
counterparts
across
the
region,
really
that
regional
collaboration
has
been
truly
impressive,
and
I
can't
I
we
must
say
that
an
8
o'clock
meeting
on
a
sunday
with
reuben,
as
well
as
juggling
two
meetings
for
aaron,
it's
an
indication.
A
We
really
are
at
the
staff
level,
as
well
as
at
the
board
level,
working
to
stay
coordinated,
as
as
we
work
to
fight
off
this
this
pandemic.
So
over
to
you,
takas.
B
A
a
quick
question
is
an
important
part.
We
almost
forgot
about
public
transportation
during
this
covert
times
the
the
ridership
numbers
on
metro
and
on
our
bus
systems.
Art
and
madame
bus
are
dramatically
low,
so
they,
but
public
transportation
is
still
there.
It's
still
available
for
the
many
many
electronians
who
don't
own
a
car
or
cannot,
you
know,
afford
any
other
way
to
to
move
around
town.
B
So
what
does
the
the
question
is
in
arlington
county
working
with
wu
mata
to
make
sure
is
arlington
county
working
with
umata
to
make
sure
that
metro
riders
are
wearing
masks?
Who
can
I
contact
while
the
violation
is
happening?
This
is
very
frustrating.
B
Yes.
Indeed,
it's
very
frustrating.
I
say
that
also
as
a
as
a
user
of
art.
So
but
I
have
to
say
it
is
really
the
exception
that
we
see
somebody
I
mean
for
me
using
the
45,
45,
41
and
77
buses.
Most
riders
have
been
having
really
compliant.
They
have
their
masks
on
all
the
time
outside
and
inside
the
bus,
of
course,
but
the
question
is:
who
how
can
they
report
if
a
violation
is
happening.
A
Well,
that's
a
tough
one,
maybe
it
would
be
jim.
I
don't
know
we
also
have
our
our
area
our
reporting
tool,
but
jim
do
you
have?
We
could
certainly
also
point
folks
to
covet
19
website,
but
jim
did
you
have
any
thoughts
on
that
or
maybe
aaron.
C
I
I
don't
have
anybody
specifically
that
they
would
contact,
we
will
figure
out
what
that
is
and
be
in
contact
with
almada
on
our
own
just
to
see
what
they
may
be
doing.
I
don't
have
good
information
about
that.
C
I
would,
though,
however,
you
know
echo
what
mr
karen
jonas
said
in
that
you
know:
we've
got
pretty
good
compliance
on
the
art
buses
and
we
provide
masks
or
face
coverings
for
those
that
get
on
in
our
bus,
yeah
right
so
doing
the
best
we
can
to
make
it
as
convenient
as
possible
for
those
that
may
be
in
an
awkward
position
at
any
one
time.
B
Again,
the
art
has
a
has
always
a
customer
service
number.
It's
703
228
ride,
so
7433
703,
228
7433.
So
if
somebody
sees
something
etc-
and
I
have
to
say
to
to
to
credit
the
the
drivers-
sometimes
they
I've
been
there,
they
had
a
tough
time
to.
You
know
instruct
passengers
that
they
couldn't
board
the
bus
without
the
mask,
etc.
They
did
the
right
thing
and
we
have
to
recognize
them.
They
are
front
line
workers
as.
A
All
well,
well,
that's
helpful,
so
we
have
we'll
each
do
one
more
question
and
then
we'll
wrap
up
here.
There
are
a
host
of
questions
about
that
are
related
to
schools
and
and
child
care
and
I'll
just
touch
a
couple
of
them
and
and
then
open
the
floor
to
aaron,
jim
or
ruben.
If
you
have
thoughts
first,
I
should
be.
We
should
be
mindful
that
the
county
board
collaborates
deeply
and
we
think
about
schools
on
a
daily
basis.
A
I
do
know
that
the
school
board
has
said:
there's
teachers
I've
seen
teachers
on
online
giving
lessons
while
they're
taking
care
of
their
own
kids,
and
so,
if
you
think
about
what
we
need
to
do
to
address
and
open
schools,
I
know
dr
duran
and
the
school
board
is
thinking
about.
We
have
to
make
sure
we
address
teachers
needs
so
that
there
even
can
be
any
schools
open
in
a
hybrid
capacity.
A
A
That
is
a
detailed
question
that
would
really
be
best
for
to
focus
with
dr
duran.
I
I
believe,
as
the
chief
administrative
officer
there,
there
is
one
area
of
schools
that
we
haven't
touched
on,
that
we
are
working
very
several
days
this
week
and
each
member
of
the
board,
and
that
is
broadband.
We,
the
county
board,
provided
500
000
in
funding
to
help
individuals
get
broadband.
A
We
also
have
hot
spots
around
the
county
at
barcroft
sports
and
f
fitness
at
the
central
library
at
columbia,
pike,
library,
parking
lot,
but
even
beyond
that,
we
want
to
do
more,
because
we
know
that
having
the
broadband
speed
and
download
and
upload
capacity
is
important.
So
we
have
been
collaborating
to
work
on
that.
Those
are
sort
of
tried
to
touch
on
a
fair
number
of
the
school's
questions
looks
like
reuben.
You
may
have
some
thoughts
here
too,
too.
D
That's
going
to
be
in
session
starting
september
8th
and
going
forward
in
virginia,
the
immunization
requirements
have
not
been
lifted,
whether
you're
doing
it
virtually
hybrid
or
fully
in
school.
So
we
are
working
with
our
school
health
staff
and
the
schools
to
educate
parents
and
remind
them
that
they
do
need
to
actually
have
their
immunizations
ready.
D
People
may
go.
Why
is
that
important
one?
It
just
is
a
way
to
prevent
illness,
injury
or
death
from
those
things
and
to
be
ready
for
when
schools
do
come
together.
You
don't
want
it
just
to
be
coveted
that
they
prevent
spreading.
You
don't
want
children
as
they
come
back
together
to
spread
vaccine
preventable
diseases.
So
this
is
a
very
good
time
to
encourage
people
to
make
sure
their
children's
immunizations
are
up
to
date.
You
don't
want
to
have
to
deal
with
measles
and
covet
at
the
same
time.
A
Absolutely
so
that
covers
everybody
to
this
all
of
the
schools
questions
at
least
to
come
immediately
to
mind,
except
we
will.
We
are
partnering
and
thinking
about
funding
which
we
know
is
a
key
issue
but
talk
us.
Maybe
you
have
to
see
a
last
question
and
then
we
can
start
to
wrap
up.
B
We
have
almost
I
mean
in
thematic
topics
the
the
this
is
epidemic.
That
really
is
you
know,
throwing
up,
throwing
throwing
up
many
many
balls,
so
they
they
are.
There
are
so
many
aspects
of
our
of
public
life
affected
by
the
pandemic.
Right
now,
so
I
I
we
we
try
every
week
to
answer
as
many
questions
as
as
they
come,
but
there
are
also
many
other
ways
to
contact
the
arlington
county
go
to
the
website.

there.
There
is
essential
information
there,
where
you
can
be
tested
how
you
can
be
tested,
what
other
resources
are
available.
What
are
the
emergency
support?
Resources
that
there
are
with
our
current
data,
the
the
team
of
docker
vargas
is
publishing
a
fantastic
dashboard
of
information
which
I
believe
is
really
very
revealing,
and
it
basically,
you
know,
underlines
the
the
constant
repetition
of
that.
Yes,
where
your
mask
wash
your
hands
and
have
always
actually
have
always
a
mask
with
you,
so
that's
wait
every
time
you
you
are
outside.
B
I
think
this
is.
This
is
very
important
and
and
keep
social
distancing
really
religiously.
This
is
really
key.
This
is
the
only
way
to
flatten
this
curve,
so
I
would
leave
that
to
our
to
our
county
staff.
If
they
have
any
final
remarks
and
then
we
can
wrap
up,
I
believe.
A
Sure
I
I
don't
you
guys
the
county
staff.
Each
of
you
have
been
so
helpful
and
I
think
that
may
cover
it
we'll
go
ahead
and
and
and
close
up
with
a
couple
of
just
concluding
remarks.
Just
I'll
start
off
by
saying.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
this
week
and
share
it
over
with
you
takas.
B
Yes,
it's
it's
a!
It
was
very
helpful
to
be
to
be
here
today
for
this
live
update
this
week.
So
we
encourage,
as
I,
as
I
said
before,
everybody
to
visit
the
the
arlington
county
landing
website
on
on
the
pandemic.
Arlington
va.us
slash
covet

for
any
additional
information,
and
you
can,
if
you
have
still
additional
questions,
you
can
always
call
703-228-7999,
so
703-228-7,
nine,
nine,
nine
I
wanted
to
just
for
a
moment.
B
B
It
also
means
that
we
we
get
our
fair
share
of
federal
money,
that's
about
50
million
of
federal
funding
each
year
and
it's
very
important
for
health
transportation,
housing
emergency
services
in
our
community.
Basically
it
is,
it
is
a
money
that
that
we
deserve
because
of
our
size
because
of
our
population.
It's
very
important
that
everybody
gets
counted.
B
We
are
right
now
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
about
73,
so
we
have
still
a
way
to
go.
It's
important
that
everybody
knows
and
enrolls
the
the
way.
The
best
way
to
do
that
is
actually
to
go
to
the
arlington
va.us
website,
our
county
website.
B
You
will
see
there
immediately
the
link
to
our
census
page,
it's
relatively
easy
to
to
complete
these
nine
questions
and
help
everybody
to
to
be
counted,
as
it
is
important
for
everybody's
welfare
and
and
prosperity,
as
we
go
forward
that
that,
with
that,
I
you
know
that
little
vlog
I
would.
I
would
stop
here
matt
if
you
want
to.
A
Sure
takas,
thank
you
so
much.
First,
we're
thrilled,
of
course,
to
have
you
join
the
board
and
also
really
appreciate
your
focus
on
the
census
and
I'm
happy
to
be
we're
going
to
an
event.
The
two
of
us
tomorrow,
night
or
monday
night,
that's
right,
monday
night
just
to
work
on
getting
from
73
to
100.
A
I
want
to
just
touch
on
another
opportunity
to
make
a
difference.
Many
of
you
have
asked
about
schools,
and
I
know
one
thing:
I've
seen
in
the
last
24
hours
is
a
way
to
help
students
in
need
and
our
neighbors,
who
might
need
a
little
help
with
school
supplies.
A
Volunteer.Leadercenter.Org,
so
that's
a
that's
volunteer.leadercenter.org.
Let's
chip
in
to
help
arlington
be
a
compassionate
place
for
all
of
our
students.
The
virus
won't
be
disappearing
overnight.
We
need
to
remember
to
be
vigilant,
and
we've
used
that
word
a
lot
we
have
to
wash
our
hands
wear
face
coverings
and
maintain
physical
distance.
