A
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Seattle
mayor
Jenny,
Durkin
I,
want
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here
today.
I
want
to
express
my
deep
gratitude
to
all
the
public
health
professionals
who
are
not
in
this
room
because
they
are
doing
the
work
to
keep
people
safe
and
to
all
the
officials
across
our
region
who
are
experiencing
the
same
thing
in
their
cities
and
counties.
A
According
to
the
World
Health
Organization,
we
are
now
in
a
global
pandemic
and
one
of
the
most
important
things
we
can
do.
According
the
worth
health
world,
Health
Association,
is
to
speak
in
one
voice
as
one
government.
That's
one
reason
we
thought
it
was
so
important
today
for
us
to
join
here.
As
we
move
forward,
it
will
be
increasingly
necessary
and
important
that
we
are
unified
in
our
efforts
across
cities
across
counties
and
state
government.
A
If
we
want
to
slow
the
spread
of
kovat
19
help
the
most
vulnerable
and
at-risk
individuals
and
work
together
to
protect
our
small
businesses
and
our
workers
displaced
by
this
event.
I
truly
believe
that
this
outbreak
may
be
one
of
the
most
transformative
and
consequential
events
that
we've
had
in
this
region
and
in
this
country
I
also
believe
and
know
we
will
get
through
it.
It
will
be
hard.
One
thing
that
gives
me
great
comfort
is
the
leadership
that
I've
seen
at
every
level
of
government,
starting
with
our
governor.
A
B
Good
morning
and
thank
you
mayor,
you're,
doing
a
great
job
and
I
know
the
nation's
gonna,
be
looking
at
your
leadership
as
we
all
in
the
country
go
through.
This
challenge.
I
want
to
welcome
everyone
to
the
state
of
Washington
a
place
where
people
are
very
much
united
and
active
and
confident
in
our
ability
to
take
strong
measures
to
slow
down
the
spread
of
this
epidemic.
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
Washingtonians
and
that
seven
million
of
us
have
been
acting
very
responsibly
as
leaders
in
their
own
lives
to
try
to
slow
this
epidemic.
B
People
are
staying
home
from
work
when
they
are
ill.
As
recommended,
people
are
washing
their
hands.
People
are
using
their
elbows
rather
than
their
hands
so
that
we
can
reduce
the
the
social
transaction
or
transmission
of
this
disease.
People
are
caring
for
their
loved
ones
and
encouraging
senior
citizens
and
those
with
compromised
health
to
really
question
whether
you
should
go
out
more
than
is
absolutely
necessary
right
now
into
public
I'm.
Very
pleased
that
the
seven
million
people
in
Washington
I
think
your
United
themselves
as
being
leaders
and
acting
responsibly
right
now
and
I
want
to.
B
Thank
all
of
those
families
and
our
first
responders
I'm
pleased
that
we
have
been
able
to
work
successfully
to
increase
some
of
our
support
networks
to
our
families.
That
will
be
impacted
by
some
of
the
dislocation
of
this.
Yesterday
we
announced
some
moves
to
implement
in
crease
access
to
unemployment,
compensation
and
workers
compensation.
B
We've
also
announced
measures
to
protect
our
vulnerable
people
in
our
long-term
care
facilities
in
retirement
homes,
but
it
is
clear
that
our
state
needs
a
more
vigorous
and
more
comprehensive
and
more
aggressive
opposition
if
we
are
going
to
slow
the
spread
of
this
epidemic.
So
today,
I'm
announcing
steps
to
help
communities
contain
kovat
19
and
when
I
do
so,
I
have
an
understanding
talking
to
the
scientific
community
that
this
is
not
just
your
ordinary
flu.
B
This
prohibition
could
be
expanded
in
the
days
to
come,
depending
on
the
development
of
the
virus.
These
counties
could
be
removed
at
a
future
order,
as
well.
Now,
in
approaching
to
this
issue,
I
think
it's
important
to
know
this.
This
is
an
extremely
dangerous
event
that
we
are
facing,
but
we
are
not
helpless.
We
have
the
ability
to
seize
our
own
destiny
and
the
safety
of
our
loved
ones.
B
By
acting
to
do
what
is
necessary
and
effective
in
reducing
the
rate
of
the
spread
of
this
epidemic,
there
is
no
magic
silver
bullet
at
the
moment
medically,
but
there
is
a
very
successful
effort
that
we
can
take
to
slow
the
spread
of
this
disease
and
that's
to
reduce
the
social
interactions
that
are
not
necessary
in
our
lives.
This
is
an
effective
tactic.
It
is
at
hand.
All
it
requires
is
the
will
of
active
people
to
follow
science
and
confidence
that
we're
all
in
this
together
and
that's
why
we're
taking
these
steps?
B
B
The
decisions
that
we're
making
today
and
the
decisions
we
probably
will
be
making
in
the
upcoming
days
are
going
to
be
profoundly
disturbing
to
a
lot
of
the
ways
we
live
our
lives
today,
but
I
believe
they
are
the
right
ones.
They
are
the
necessary
ones.
They
are
ones
based
on
how
we
feel
about
our
loved
ones
and
their
lives.
They
are
based
on
science
and
they're,
based
on
the
fact
that
we're
gonna
work
together
to
ameliorate
the
consequences
for
families
and
businesses.
B
B
We've
also
consulted
the
world
scientific
community,
we're
very
fortunate
in
Washington
to
have
some
of
the
best
geneticists
and
epidemiologists
and
physicians
in
the
world
today,
and
they
have
helped
us,
but
we've
also
looked
at
the
experience
of
other
communities
to
help
us
make
this
decision
we're,
starting
with
this
prohibition
through
March.
For
these
three
counties,
it
is
very
highly
likely
that
that
will
be
extended
beyond
March,
but
that
can
be
decided
at
that
time.
B
These
include
maximizing
telecommuting
options
for
as
many
employees
as
possible.
We're
doing
this
here
in
Washington
I've
been
very
impressed
by
the
creative
leadership
of
the
business
leaders
in
Washington
that
are
accommodating
these
needs,
and
people
are
doing
it
by
the
thousands
in
the
state
of
Washington,
while
keeping
our
businesses
running
now.
We
know
there
are
many
many
many
people
who
cannot
telecommute,
but
those
who
can
we
asked
to
explore
those
opportunities.
B
We
are
asking
business
leaders
to
embed
into
their
organizational
systems
social
distancing
now
this
may
seem
a
fairly
benign
thing,
but
it
is
a
key
to
the
success
in
slowing
this
epidemic
and
we
are
asking
business
leaders
to
think
today
how
you
can
reduce
the
distance
of
your
consumers,
your
customers
and
your
workers
in
a
way
that
can
possibly
allow
you
to
continue,
and
we
ask
people
to
be
creative
and
aggressive
in
this
regard.
This
is
key
to
our
success
and
I
hope
all
business
leaders
in
Washington
State
from
restaurants
to
large
manufacturers.
B
To
think
about
that
request.
We
may
have
more
to
say
about
some
of
our
systems
in
that
a
little
later,
I'm
asking
our
public
transit
officials
to
follow
King
County's,
lead
on
additional
cleaning
and
sanitizing
and
I
know
that
they're
doing
that
significantly
right
now
we
have
other
things
that
all
of
us
need
to
think
about.
Now.
We're
gonna
fight
this
epidemic
as
much
as
we
can
and
the
reason
is.
We
do
not
want
to
see
an
avalanche
of
people
coming
in
our
hospitals
with
limited
capacity.
B
We
have
a
solid
plan
for
increasing
capacity
as
far
as
possible
to
accommodate
what
could
be
thousands
of
people
who
need
serious
medical
attention,
but
that
will
be
stretched
at
best.
So
all
of
us
have
to
think
about
ways
to
be
creative
to
both
increase
that
capacity
and
reduce
the
demands
on
that
system.
So
if,
in
your
discussions
with
your
physician
or
your
hospital,
they
discussed
with
you
the
advisability
of
delaying
elected
surgery,
please
listen
to
them.
B
B
We
have
been
doing
a
very,
very
deep
search
into
the
science
about
how
to
reduce
the
transmission
rates
associated
with
our
children.
The
good
news
is
that
our
children
are
relatively
relatively
free
of
serious
disease
associated
with
this,
but
the
best
science
tells
us
they
still
have
the
capability
of
transmitting
the
disease
to
other
people.
They
come
in
contact
with,
and
so
we
are
giving
intense
thought
about
what
we
can
do
in
regard
to
our
children
in
that
regard.
B
I'm
asking
all
of
our
school
districts
to
immediately
begin
contingency
planning
for
potential
school
closures
in
the
next
several
days.
We
are
asking
them
to
do
so
because
we
know
they
care
about
our
kids,
but
we
also
know
that
the
schools
can
help
us
on
fighting
the
nutritional
needs
for
children
if
in
fact,
closures
are
required
and
they
can
help
consider
what
we
can
do
for
child
care
for
parents
if,
in
fact,
closures
occur.
B
This
is
very
important,
as
we
think
about
this,
because
we
don't
want
to
have
nurses
have
to
leave
their
employment
at
a
hospital
in
the
middle
of
an
epidemic
because
they
don't
have
child
care
resolved.
So
we're
asking
our
school
district
leaders
to
bend
to
this
task
of
figuring
out
what
we
can
do
in
the
event
we
have
to
make
these
decisions
it
is
expected.
I
will
give
more
guidance
in
the
next
couple
of
days
in
that
regard
and
I'll
be
talking
to
superintendents
of
the
three
counties
I've
talked
about
this
afternoon.
B
So
I
want
to
conclusion
thank
Washingtonians
for
helping
lead
the
nation.
Unfortunately,
we
know
that
the
rest
of
the
nation
will
be
where
we
are
perhaps
in
a
couple
or
three
weeks,
and
we
hope
that
the
things
we're
doing
aggressively
here
can
set
a
template
for
the
rest
of
the
country.
I've
talked
to
several
of
my
colleagues
and
shared
our
experiences
to
date,
and
we
want
to
help
the
country
understand
how
to
have
a
very
vigorous,
successful
slowing
of
this
epidemic.
So
with
that
I
want
to
talk
now
turn
it
to.
Is
it
now?
C
Thank
You
governor,
thanks
to
all
of
you
for
being
here
today,
welcome
to
King
County's
King
Street
center.
This
is
the
headquarters
of
our
Metro
Transit,
as
well
as
many
other
agencies,
I'm
joined
by
the
director
of
public
health,
Seattle
and
King
County
Patti
Hays,
and
our
Public
Health
Officer
Jeff
Duchin
I'm,
King,
County,
Executive,
Dow,
Constantine
I
want
to
start
by
expressing
our
sympathies,
our
condolences
to
those
who've
lost
loved
ones.
C
Many
of
us
now
know
families
directly
who've
been
affected
by
the
corona
virus,
and
we
want
to
express
our
concern
for
those
who
have
confirmed
cases
and
are
recovering
I.
Also
very
much
want
to
thank
Governor
Inslee
for
his
leadership
and
for
taking
strong,
decisive
steps
to
help
stem
the
outbreak.
C
Therefore,
our
Public
Health
Officer,
Jeff
Duchin,
will
be
signing
an
order
that
prohibits
smaller
events
of
250
people
or
less,
unless
they
meet
public
health
guidelines
to
ensure
social,
distancing,
adequate
sanitation,
regular
health
checks
of
employees
and
other
measures
designed
to
prevent
the
virus
from
being
transmitted
now
to
be
sure
ordering.
The
cancellation
of
community
events
is
an
extraordinary
measure.
C
One
made
in
a
fluid
situation
in
which
new
information
comes
to
light,
hourly
I've
connected
with
leadership
of
our
professional
sports
teams
or
businesses,
large
and
small,
as
well
as
leaders
of
our
represented
workforce,
and
they
understand
that
we
must
do
everything
we
can
together
to
protect
our
community
temporarily.
Banning
social
and
recreational
gatherings
that
bring
people
together
will
help
ensure
that
a
health
crisis
does
not
become
a
humanitarian
disaster
by
working
to
preserve
the
limited
capacity
of
the
county's
health
care
system.
C
C
C
Restaurants,
retail,
music
arts,
culture
movie
theaters
can
and
should
continue
if
they
are
able
to
meet
these
criteria.
The
criteria
that
can
be
shown
to
dramatically
reduce
the
transmission
of
disease
and
keep
people
safe.
Our
public
health
staff,
our
medical
experts
drive
our
decisions
using
established
and
emerging
science
and
data
as
our
guides.
C
As
policymakers,
we
have
to
continue
to
ask
ourselves
if
we're
taking
the
most
appropriate
measures
to
meet
the
crisis.
Well,
today's
actions
will
help
to
will
help
relieve
the
strain
on
our
hospital
system.
They'll
provide
people
with
options
to
keep
their
families
safe
and
to
keep
the
rest
of
the
community
safe
from
harm.
C
C
That
factor
underscores
the
urgency
with
which
we
are
implementing
these
community
mitigation
measures,
as
well
as
purchasing
siting
and
setting
up
locations
places
for
people
to
recover
and
to
isolate
themselves,
so
they
don't
inadvertently
infect
their
families
or
others
in
the
community.
I
want
to
thank
again
thank
governor
Inslee
I
want
to
thank
mayor
Durkin,
the
executives
of
our
neighboring
counties
and
all
the
mayors
and
our
public
health
officials
for
uniting
to
tackle
this
shared
challenge
and
keep
our
people
safe.
I
also
want
to
thank
leadership
from
the
business
community.
C
Those
are
the
kinds
of
forward-looking
measures
that
we
need
from
all
leaders,
public
and
private
in
our
community.
They
understand,
as
do
the
elected
officials
in
this
room,
that
we
are
all
in
this
together
and
that
their
leadership
is
critical
to
helping
get
our
community
through
this.
We
must
take
time
to
be
sure
we
get
this
right,
but
we
have
to
at
the
same
time,
act
with
urgency
and
leave
no
one
behind.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
here
today,
I
mentioned
that
our
Public
Health
Officer
is
here
with
us.
Dr.
D
Good
morning,
I'm
Jeff
Church
in
Health
Officer
for
Public,
Health,
Seattle
and
King,
County
and
I
want
to
thank
the
governor
executive,
Constantine,
mayor
Durkin
and
all
of
our
elected
leadership
for
taking
these
important
actions
in
ensuring
regional
coordination
to
protect
our
community's
health.
Today,
as
you've
heard
we're
taking
unprecedented
actions
and
I
want
to
fully
recognize
the
disruption
that
these
changes
will
caused
in
people's
lives.
We
don't
take
these
decisions
lightly,
but
we're
facing
an
unprecedented
health,
emergency
individuals,
communities
and
businesses,
along
with
healthcare
organizations,
was
all
act
together
to
protect
our
community.
D
Everyone's
participation
is
critical
if
we
will
be
successful.
Why
are
we
doing
this
now?
As
you've
heard,
we
recognize
increasing,
spread
of
Kovan
19
in
our
community
and
as
we
bring
on
more
testing
we're
learning
of
more
cases
each
day.
The
number
of
cases
doubles
every
several
days
and
we've
had
multiple
instances
of
kovat,
19
and
long-term
care
facilities
were
vulnerable
persons
reside.
We
expect
a
large-scale
outbreak
in
weeks,
and
this
will
be
a
very
difficult
time.
D
It's
similar
to
what
you
might
think
of
as
an
infectious
disease
equivalent
of
a
major
earthquake.
That's
going
to
shake
us
for
weeks
and
weeks,
I
want
to
at
this
time
express
my
condolences
to
the
families
and
loved
ones
of
those
who
have
been
affected
by
this
disease
and
who
have
passed
at
this
time.
I
know
this
is
going
to
continue
to
be
a
very
difficult
time
for
all
of
us
going
forward.
D
The
social
distancing
measures
that
you've
heard
about
this
morning
are
intended
to
slow
the
spread
of
the
epidemic.
Although
we
know
we
cannot
stop
it
by
delaying
the
number
of
persons
who
become
infected
and
reducing
the
size
of
the
epidemic.
Peak
will
be
able
to
have
lesser
impact
on
our
community
and
our
health
care
system,
and,
although
most
of
us
will
have
mild
illness
or
moderate
illness,
that
does
not
require
medical
attention.
D
We
all
must
help
to
make
sure
our
health
care
system
can
provide
the
medical
care
to
those
who
will
need
it
by
minimizing
the
number
of
people
who
become
ill
and
the
number
who
become
seriously
ill,
but
regardless
of
what
we
do,
the
health
care
system
will
be
very
stressed.
The
actions
we
take
now
can
lessen
the
pressure
on
the
system
so
that
more
people
who
require
hospital
care
can
receive
it
when
they
need
it.
D
We
all
have
people
in
our
lives
who
are
at
high
risk
for
severe
illness
from
this
virus.
We
all
have
a
lot
at
stake
by
taking
steps
now
and
acting
together,
we're
not
only
reducing
our
personal
risk
of
exposure
and
transmitting
this
disease,
but
we
are
reducing
the
risk
of
severe
illness
for
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
in
our
community.
D
We
know
that
the
actions
that
we're
recommending
will
create
hardships
and
we
need
to
do
everything
we
can
to
support
one
another.
This
outbreak
will
go
on
for
weeks
and
likely
for
months.
I
appreciate
that
our
policy
makers
and
nonprofit
partners
who
are
working
now
to
make
all
people
able
just
to
provide
I,
appreciate
that
our
policy
makers
and
nonprofit
partners
are
working
now
to
support
all
people
to
be
able
to
comply
with
the
steps
that
we
are
recommending.
D
As
executive
constantin
mentioned,
I'm
issuing
a
Health
Officer
order
this
morning,
making
input
and
making
other
important
recommendations
to
our
community
consistent
with
Governor
enslie's
order.
All
events
of
more
than
250
people
are
prohibited
and
my
order
also
prohibits.
In
addition,
events
with
fewer
than
150
250,
attendees
and
less
event
organizers
can
take
steps
to
minimize
the
risk
to
participants.
D
D
E
Thank
you
and
good
morning,
I'm
Bruce
de
Meyer
I
have
the
privilege
of
serving
the
people
of
Pierce
County
as
their
executive
and
I
am
thankful
to
be
joined
today
by
Takoma
mayor
Victoria
Woodards.
We
are
thankful
that
we
realize
in
Pierce
County.
The
vast
majority
of
our
community
will
come
out
the
other
side
of
this,
just
fine
that
their
systems
will
rise
to
the
occasion
and
that
we'll
get
through
it.
I
am
particularly
thankful
that
our
youth
seemed
to
have
an
immune
system
that
combats
this
very
effectively.
E
That
is
very
important,
but
I
am
increasingly
concerned
about
the
seniors
in
our
community,
about
young
women
who
are
pregnant
and
about
folks
with
compromised
immune
systems
that
we
need
to
be
taking
significant
actions
to
protect
them,
because
we
also
know
that
they
are
very
vulnerable
to
this
disease.
So
that's
why
I'm
supporting
these
actions
today
in
Pierce
County?
E
At
the
same
time,
we
know
that
there's
going
to
be
consequences
and
in
particular
it
is
the
season
when
many
of
our
very
important
nonprofit
community
are
holding
their
annual
fundraisers
tomorrow
morning
is
the
annual
fundraising
breakfast
for
the
emergency
food
network.
In
Pierce
County,
the
emergency
food
network,
as
the
name
implies,
is
responsible
for
distributing
critical
food
out
to
the
food
banks
throughout
our
County
I.
E
At
the
same
time,
Pierce
County
is
culturally
a
rich
and
diverse
community,
and
a
key
part
of
that
community
are
our
churches
and
faith
centers,
and
this
order
will
potentially
impact
many
of
them
at
a
time
when
Church
and
faith
is
probably
very
very
important
as
we
as
our
communities
are
confronting
kind
of
uncertainty.
Some
fear
some
adversity
that
connection
to
each
other,
that
faith
communities
offer
is
really
going
to
be
important.
I
am
thankful
that
many
of
the
churches
and
faith
communities
in
Pierce
County
have
already
been
planning
for
this.
E
E
F
Good
morning,
I'm
Dave
summer
snow
was
County,
Executive
and
I'm
joined
here
today
by
mayor
Cassie,
Franklin
from
the
city
of
Everett,
and
first
thing.
I
would
just
like
to
say
how
incredibly
saddened
I
am
by
yesterday's
news
about
another
kovat
1950
in
our
County.
Our
hearts,
prayers
thoughts
go
out
to
the
family
and
all
those
affected
there.
F
Second
thing
I
would
really
like
to
thank
Governor
Inslee
for
his
leadership.
Governor
Inslee
is
a
good
friend
of
Snohomish
County.
He
was
with
us
every
step
of
the
way
during
the
Oso
crisis.
He
knows
our
County
I've
watched
him
in
action.
He
takes
advice
from
experts.
He
looks
at
the
science.
He
knows
the
impacts
of
our
actions
on
social
impacts
and
anomic
impacts
and
balances
of
those
I
can't
think
of
a
better
leader
to
have
in
place
during
this
event.
So
I
have
two
priorities
for
the
residents
of
Snohomish
County.
F
As
a
biologist,
I
strive
to
have
my
decisions,
be
science
driven
also
when
our
health
officers
make
recommendations,
we
listen
to
them.
We
must
listen
to
them.
We
are
going
through
careful
study,
deliberation
for
every
decision
facing
us
looking
at
whatever
science
is
available
and
also
looking
at
the
impacts
on
our
community.
We
are
working
hard
to
reduce
to
the
extent
possible
negative
impacts
on
our
residents.
F
The
decisions
announced
today
and
those
yet
to
be
announced
are
serious.
We
know
they
have
effects
on
people's
lives.
We
know
they're
going
to
disrupt
lives
and
impact
people
across
our
communities
and
our
businesses,
but
we
must
take
them
to
save
lives
and
reduce
the
burden
on
our
healthcare
system.
There
are
necessary
actions,
but
it
is
important.
F
You've
heard
this
already
to
remember
that
personal
responsibility
is
the
first
line
of
defense
in
the
first
line
of
action
here:
I'm
amazed
as
I
drove
in
the
lightness
of
the
traffic
under
an
hour
from
Monroe,
which
is
sometimes
two
hours,
but
our
citizens
and
residents
are
doing
an
amazing
job
of
taking
personal
action.
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
each
of
us
is
responsible
for
our
health
and
our
decisions
and
our
families
and
you're
doing
a
great
job.
Keep
it
up.
F
It's
also
important
that
we're
working
together
as
a
region
and
with
the
state,
our
counties
and
all
our
health
districts
and
all
our
partners
within
the
region,
it's
important
so
that
our
residents
are
getting
consistent
information
from
us
and
consistent
action.
The
actions
mentioned
already
in
King
County
for
smaller
events.
F
We
will
be
mirroring
those
in
Snohomish
County,
so
that
everybody
is
playing
by
the
same
rules
and
people
are
not
getting
mixed
messages
just
remind
if
you're
elderly,
please
self,
isolate,
take
extra
precautions
and
if
you
have
elderly
or
health
compromised,
people
and
your
families
make
sure
you're
watchful
for
them,
advising
them
well
and
taking
precautions
as
I
mentioned.
So
we
can
use
common
sense
approaches
to
keeping
the
community
safe,
and
we
will
get
through
this
as
quickly
as
possible,
together
with
neighbor
helping
neighbor
in
our
region
and
state
United.
Thank
you.
F
B
Want
introduce
mayor,
Victoria,
Woodard
of
Tacoma
I,
wasn't
sure
if
got
introduced,
but
thank
you,
madam
mayor
just
couple
words
before
you
stand
for
your
questions.
A
lot
of
information
is
scientific,
but
some
is
anecdotal
and
at
all
counts.
My
Trudi,
my
wife,
Trudy,
was
just
showing
me
an
email
or
a
text
from
a
woman
in
Italy.
I
spoke
to
our
ambassador
to
Italy
about
what
was
going
on
in
Italy
right
now
and
I
have
to
tell
you
looking
at
that
vision
and
thinking
that
that
could
be.
B
Us
is
very,
very
disturbing
to
me
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we're
taking
action
today,
and
some
people
continue
to
believe
that
this
is
some
kind
of
minor
problem
and
that
there's
an
overreaction
to
this,
that
this
is
just
kind
of
flu.
Again,
here's
an
interesting
text
and
I'm
gonna
edit
it
because
there's
some
colorful
language
in
it,
stop
saying
it's
just
flu
or
severe
flu.
Please
come
and
see
our
intensive
care
units
in
northern
Italy
people
can't
breathe
and
we
don't
have
where
to
put
them.
You
blank
idiots,
we
gotta
listen
to
science.
B
We
got
to
look
what's
happening
here
and
we
got
to
act
and
I'm
just
sharing
good
news
with
you
and
the
America.
Today
we
can't
act
and
if
we
do
act
we
can
flatten
the
rate
of
this
epidemic
and
we
can
succeed
and
it
is
not
going
to
be
easy.
We
are
going
to
have
to
change
our
lives
and
way
they're
uncomfortable.
If
we're
gonna
succeed
as
a
community
and
I
am
reminded
at
what
Winston
Churchill
said
during
the
Blitz
is
all
I
have
to
offer.
B
You
is
blood,
toil
tears
and
sweat
and,
yes,
we're
gonna
have
disturbances,
but
we
are
going
to
get
ahead
of
this
epidemic
and
we're
going
to
reduce
the
number
of
our
loved
ones.
That
would
otherwise
have
a
fatal
loss
to
our
families
and
I
just
want
to
ask
dr.
Duchin
to
come
up
and
explain
about
what
flattening
the
curve
means
and
why
we
believe
we
can
succeed
here.
Dr.
Duchin,
can
you
come
up
and
he's
gonna
make
reference
to
a
study,
and
could
you
do
this.
D
Okay,
killing
ten
times
as
many
people
as
annual
influenza
outbreak,
is
a
very
significant
impact
on
our
healthcare
system
in
our
community.
So
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
decrease
the
burden
that
that
would
represent
on
our
healthcare
system
so
that,
as
people
become
ill,
they
don't
become
ill
as
in
a
shorter
time
frame.
That
would
stress
the
system.
B
Just
to
give
people
a
scale
of
what
we
potentially
could
be
looking
at.
This
is
a
model
that
goes
through
April
5th
and
it
shows
infections
just
through
early
April
in
the
realm
of
25,000
Washingtonians.
If
we
do
not
act
and
that
curve
unfortunately
continues
to
go
up
so
that
it
probably
continues
to
double
every
week
or
so
so
by
mid-may,
we
could
be
looking
at
over
60,000
people
infected
with
the
consequent
fatalities
associated
with
this.
This
is
something
we
need
to
act
on
and
without
I'd,
be
happy
to
stand
for
your
questions.
Yes,
how.
B
We,
this
is
an
order
by
the
governor
and
the
governor
has
the
ability,
through
an
emergency
order,
order
this.
This
is
legally
binding
on
Washingtonians.
It
is
statutorily
not
only
allowed,
but
I
think
required
under
these
circumstances,
and
we
fully
expect
that
all
Washingtonians
will
comply
with
this
order
and
the
reason
we're
confident
of
that
is
one
people
are
showing
greatly
responsible
behavior
so
far,
and
we
know
the
clear
science
on
this
and
we're
very
scientifically
literate
people
in
Washington
state.
B
So
I
am
confident
that
that
Washingtonians
are
going
to
accept
this
order
and
going
to
abide
by
this
order,
because
they
understand
the
consequences
would
otherwise
be
severe
to
their
loved
ones
and
that's
what
really
counts
here
now
enforcement
is
I.
Guess
what
I'm
saying
you
is?
We
don't
expect
enforcement
to
have
to
be
involved,
we're
accepting
the
the
good
judgement
of
Washingtonians
to
follow
that
and
I
believe
that's
going
to
happen.
Yes,.
G
B
B
This
is
an
order
if
somebody
is
consciously
avoiding
it
willfully
and
the
state
knows
about
that.
There
are
measures
to
have
legal
means
to
stop
that
from
happening,
but
I
don't
believe
people
are
going
to
do
that.
I
had
a
discussion
with
John
Stanton
the
other
day
of
the
Mariners,
and
you
know
missing
a
home.
Opener
is
a
big
big
deal
to
the
state
of
Washington,
but
I
think
he
and
others
understand
the
importance
of
health
and
I.
Think
we're
gonna
have
acceptance
of
this.
Yes,
you.
B
Question
is
why
250
first
off
there,
there
is
no
magic
number
written
in
the
stone
tablets
and
any
numbers
to
some.
What
degree,
not
you
know
precise
in
any
algorithm
what
we
did
after
long
consideration
talking
to
local
leaders
talking
to
scientists
talking
to
the
CDC
concluded
that
this
was
a
level
that
you
really,
if
you
have
a,
if
you
have
a
gathering
over
250,
you
really
can't
control
the
the
crowd
to
do
so,
distancing
below
250,
we
thought
probably
business
owners
organizers
could
take
measures
to
keep
people
apart.
B
We
do
not
want
to
see
people
shoulder-to-shoulder
and
bars
from
now
on.
That
is
just
totally
unacceptable
and
we
thought
over
250.
It
would
be
impossible
to
exercise
to
those
type
of
reasonable
measures.
I
appreciated
my
discussion
with
the
vice
president
on
this
subject
today,
I
think
you're
going
to
see
some
guidance
from
the
federal
government
that
is
pretty
consistent
with
ours
in
this
regard.
Yes,.
B
That
containment
discussion
is
a
little
misnomer.
I,
listen
to
the
mayor
of
is
a
New
Rochelle
I
believe
today,
it's
it's
less
a
containment
zone
than
it's
sort
of
been
portrayed.
But
yes,
we
have
a
great
National
Guard,
we'll
use
them
as
necessary.
We've
been
having
the
National
Guard
helping
in
our
EOC
today
and
they're.
Doing
a
great
job
will
use
them
to
supplement
where
we
need.
You
know
the
sort
of
logistical
help
and
the
like.
There
is
also
potential
potential
medical
assistance
through
the
guard
on
an
emergency
basis
if
our
hospital
system
becomes
stretched.
B
Well,
we
should
ask
the
health
experts,
but
I
am
I,
am
asking
the
school
leadership
to
take
action
today
to
become
prepared
so
that,
if
that
is
necessary,
they
will
have
good
plans
to
accommodate
the
needs
and
problems
that
parents
will
be
involved
with,
including
child
care,
including
nutritional
efforts,
because
about
40%
of
our
children,
our
fed
through
the
school
system.
We
actually
are
having
some
fairly
successful
efforts
on
a
area.
That's
now
shut
down
here,
north
of
Seattle.
B
In
that
regard,
what
I
would
recommend
to
parents
is
first,
don't
go
to
work
where
you
work,
if
you're
ill,
wash
your
hands
talk
to
your
grandparents
and
your
uncles
and
aunts
and
encourage
them
not
to
go
out
in
public
more
than
it's
necessary
and
then
listen
to
us
as
a
community
for
further
recommendations,
as
I've
indicated,
we
do
need
the
schools
to
be
thinking
about
this
beginning
right
now
and
we'll
have
more
to
say
in
those
few
days.
Just
don't
want
us
thinking
we're
just
going
here.
Yeah
go
ahead.
Arby's.
K
B
Penalties
are
you
might
be
killing
your
granddad?
If
you
don't
do
it
and
I'm
serious
about
this?
The
principle
reason
this
is
going
to
work
is
for
people
to
understand
the
consequences
of
lack
of
community
responsibility
and,
if
you're
thinking
having
a
thousand
person
wedding
right
now,
you
can't
do
that
legally
and
the
reason
is
because
we
care
about
the
grandparents
that
might
attend,
and
so
that's
the
the
principle
motivating
force
here.
L
C
The
so
the
250
number
is
not
about
restaurants,
but
we
are
going
to
have
specific
guidance
for
restaurants
and
grocery
stores
and
other
institutions.
The
the
enforcement
is
going
to
primarily
be
by
complaint.
There's
not
going
to
be
a
set
of
public
health
police
running
around
looking
for
gatherings
where
all
of
the
public
health
recommendations
have
not
been
implemented,
because
we
don't
have
that
many
people
and
they're
focused
on
community-wide
efforts
to
prevent
the
spread
of
disease.
D
Yes,
so
for
gatherings
under
250
attendees,
we
will
require
that
older
adults
and
individuals
with
underlying
medical
conditions
that
may
increase
their
risk
of
serious
kovat
19.
The
encouraged
not
to
intent
actively
be
encouraged
not
to
attend.
That
would
include
employees
as
well
that
social
distancing
recommendations
will
be
wet
and
an
example
of
that
is
to
limit
the
close
contact
of
people
within
six
feet.
But,
depending
on
the
specific
situation,
we
can
work
with
group
and
try
and
find
something
that
makes
sense
based
on
the
specific
type
of
gathering
that's
being
planned.
D
We
want
employees
to
be
screened
for
coronavirus,
symptoms
each
day
and
excluded.
If
symptomatic
for
organized
events,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
proper
hand,
hygiene
and
sanitation
are
readily
available
to
all
attendees
and
employees
and
that
the
organization
and
spot
the
sponsor
is
following
the
environmental
cleaning
guidelines
from
the
US
Centers
for
Disease,
Control
and
Prevention.
D
Fever,
cough
shortness
of
breath,
sore
throat
depends
on
you
know
what
type
of
gathering
we're
talking
about,
but
the
bottom
line
is,
you
know
we
realize
we
can't
stop
everything
from
have
all
people
from
getting
together
in
the
community.
We
don't
want
to
I
mean
life
has
to
go
on.
People
need
to
go
about
doing
essential
things
that
they
need
to
do
in
the
community.
We're
with
what
this
is
all
about
is
decreasing
the
the
bringing
together
people
that
is
non-essential
that
provides
an
opportunity
for
this
disease
to
spread
it.
D
We
understand,
it's,
not
a
hundred
percent
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
the
whole
idea
of
community
mitigation
and
social
distancing.
Is
you
use
a
variety
of
strategies,
none
of
which
are
100%
in
and
of
themselves,
but
together,
layered,
you
know,
recommendations
around
schools,
workplaces,
community
businesses
in
these
types
of
gatherings
together
provide
a
meaningful
amount
of
protection.
So
it's
multiple
layered
strategies.
We
understand
that
no
one
of
them
is
going
to
be
a
hundred
percent
and
that's
expected.
M
D
So
our
health
care
provider
community
in
general,
we've
been
trying
to
get
them
as
much
information
we
can
is
about
the
evolving
guidance
that
comes
out
about
this
new
disease
from
our
colleagues
at
the
Centers
for
Disease,
Control
and
Prevention,
so
guidance
on
how
to
prevent
people
who
don't
need
to
be
there
from
coming
in.
This
is
critical.
D
D
Another
incredibly
important
piece
of
this
is
that
everybody
should
understand
that
there's
guidance
now
on
our
Washington
State
Department
of
Health
website
that
tells
the
public.
What
do
I
do
if
I've
been
diagnosed
with
kovat
19
disease?
What
do
I
need
to
do
to
prevent
risk
of
spreading
that
to
others
in
the
community
and
take
care
of
myself?
What
do
I
do
if
I've
been
exposed
to
someone
who
has
that
disease
and
I
have
symptoms?
D
I'm
not
yet
diagnosed
where
I
think
I
might
have
that
disease,
how
to
keep
away
from
others
or
isolate
yourself
and
then
manage
your
symptoms
appropriately
and
then
what
do
I
do
if
I
just
have
symptoms
and
I,
don't
know
if
I've
been
around
anybody
or
not.
So
all
this
type
of
god´s,
basically
in
the
health
and
in
the
community,
setting
overlaps
a
little
bit.
B
People
should
know,
too
that
our
state
legislature
is
soon
to
appropriate
at
least
100
million
dollars
to
be
available
to
help
in
a
lot
of
different
contexts.
We
have
federal
dollars.
Our
delegation
has
done
a
great
job
on
a
bipartisan
basis.
Money
coming
in.
We
expect
that
to
be
significantly
helpful
in
a
lot
of
contexts.
Yeah.
N
B
I
I
just
tell
you,
I,
don't
feel
as
to
darkonian
to
try
to
prevent
another
22
people
to
have
to
lose
their
grandfather
or
their
uncle
I,
don't
believe.
That's
trakone
Ian!
This
is
a
very
reasoned
approach.
It's
based
on
science,
it's
based
on
a
lot
of
input
from
publicly
elected
officials
who
are
elected
by
their
constituents.
This
does
not
apply
specifically
to
transportation
systems,
but
we
are
expecting
transportation
systems
to
do
everything
humanly
possible
in
the
social
distancing
realm,
including
to
the
extent
possible,
have
additional
buses.
So
we
have
more
space
on
the
buses.
B
Our
Department
of
Transportation
is
looking
at
how
we
encourage
people
to
do
social
distancing
while
they
are
on
the
boats.
So
that
is
something
we're
gonna
intend
to
do.
I
just
believe
that
we
are
acting
both
responsibly
and
we're
acting
in
a
democratic
basis
which
it
elected
leaders
are
taking
responsibility
for
this
and
I
gotta
tell
you.
This
is
not
easy
work.
I
wish
I
didn't
have
this
on
my
shoulders
right
now.
I
wish
I
was
on
somebody
else's,
but
it
is
our
responsibility
to
protect
our
community
and
I
think
we're
doing
reasonable
things.
O
B
Listen,
that's
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
avoid.
We
do
not
want
to
be
in
a
position
that
some
of
the
China
communities
have
been
or
some
of
the
Italian
communities
and
that's
exactly
why
we're
doing
this
to
not
have
to
consider
those
things.
Can
you
eliminate
those
things
from
possibly,
of
course
not.
We
can't,
but
let's,
let's
be
confident
in
our
ability
to
do
everything
we
can
to
avoid
that.
Yes,.
P
B
Yes,
we're
very
concerned
about
unsheltered
people
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
I'm
glad
that
the
legislature
will
shortly
pass.
My
proposal
are
very
close
to
it
to
put
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
into
helping
the
unsheltered
people
even
before
the
covert
viral,
but
we
are
going
to
have
like
I,
say
a
minimum
of
a
hundred
million
dollars
available
to
help.
We
are
intensely
looking
for
opportunities
to
help
the
sheltered
people
who
a
need,
shelter
and
also
potentially
need
to
isolate
themselves.
Executive
Constantine
has
done
some
good
work.
B
Looking
for
alternatives
in
our
state,
we
have
adopted
places
to
do
isolation
down
at
a
former
juvenile
rehabilitation
center.
We
now
have
people
you
can
isolate
safely
in
an
RV
and
we
are
continuing
to
develop
those
systems
extremely
important
I
want
to
thank
you,
be
well
wash
your
hands
care
for
your
family.
Thank
you.
