From YouTube: COVID-19 Media Availability 3/20/20
Description
Mayor Walsh hosts a media availability to discuss updates relating to COVID-19.
A
Thank
you
very
much
sorry
for
the
delay.
There
was
a
woman
inside
wanting
to
know
where
the
center
of
census
information,
so
we
had
to
get
her.
Some
information
I
want
to
start
just
by
thanking
everyone
for
being
here
again
today
and
stop
this
by
offering
my
condolences
to
the
family
of
the
man
who
passed
away
today
from
the
coronavirus.
A
Obviously,
it's
a
very
sad
situation
and
it's
it's
quite
honestly
a
reminder
of
what's
at
stake
here.
Everything
that
we're
doing
and
everything
that
we're
asking
people
to
do
is
to
limit
the
number
of
individuals
and
families
who
suffer
gonna,
suffer
in
experienced
grief
and
that's
kind
of
a
reminder
for
all
of
us
today.
What
we've
been
going
through
over
the
last
two
weeks
here
in
Boston,
in
Massachusetts
and
in
the
country,
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
we
do
everything
we
can
to
prevent
the
spread
of
the
virus.
A
I
also
want
to
make
a
mention
of
the
medical
professionals
who
are
working
hard
under
very
stressful
conditions
to
save
lives.
I
spoke
to
the
presidents
of
all
the
hospitals
in
Boston.
Today
they
need
supplies,
as
we
all
know,
that
governor
Baker
was
on
a
call
yesterday
with
Washington
trying
to
get
supplies
down
from
Washington
he's
working
with
all
of
his
folks
throughout
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
and
I'm.
A
Gonna
make
an
appeal
today
to
all
the
building
sites
and
construction
companies
in
anyone
who
uses
protective
equipment,
we're
looking
for
masks
and
we're
looking
for
respirators
many
of
the
companies
that
do
asbestos
abatement
that
work
on
molds
that
do
general
demolition.
You
have
those
that
equipments
some
of
its
on
your
shelves
and
we're
asking
you
right
now.
The
most
important
use
for
that
equipment
is
to
make
sure
that
we
get
it
in
the
hands
of
our
medical
professionals
who
are
who
are
saving
lives
here.
A
If
you'd
like
to
donate
mass
or
respirators,
we're
asking
you
to
call
if
you're
in
the
city
of
Boston,
we
asked
you
to
call
3-1-1
or
if
you're
outside
of
Boston,
you
can
call
six
one
seven,
six,
three
five
4500.
This
is
not
for
us
the
stockpile
and
have
this
is
for
us
to
share
not
just
with
the
Boston
hospitals
but
to
long
to
the
state
and
work
across
the
board.
So
everyone
in
the
Commonwealth
and
and
the
medical
professionals
have
the
equipment
that
they
need.
A
Our
operative
emergency
management
will
get
them
to
where
they
need
to
go.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
medical
staff
can
work
without
problems.
Many
many
of
our
medical
staff
are
concerned
about
public
transportation
and
having
difficulty
parking,
so
we
reached
out
to
commercial
parking
garages
today
in
response
about
a
dozen
have
agreed
to
reserved
spaces
and
lower
their
rates
for
medical
staff.
I
want
to
thank
those
garages
for
doing
that,
and
we're
going
to
be
looking
for
more
spaces
in
and
around
hospitals,
so
that
folks
have
places
to
park.
A
Also,
a
blue
bikes
are
offering
a
free
30
day,
pass
to
all
medical
personnel
in
all
in
five
cities
and
towns
around
the
Commonwealth.
So
we're
asking
blue
bikes.
If
you,
if
you're
a
medical
personality,
you
don't
have
a
membership.
Little
blue
bike,
please
sign
up.
It's
free
new
bikes
are
out
for
that
free
today.
The
latest
numbers
that
we
have
of
Carano
virus
you've
been
reporting
it.
It's
nothing
that
you
don't
already
know,
but
people
watching
this.
We
have
67
cases
in
the
city
of
Boston.
A
A
A
The
numbers
are
going
to
go
up,
but
we
want
to
do,
is
try
and
have
them
have
that
one
bump
and
then
try
and
see
if
we
can
bend
the
curve
here,
we're
not
at
the
top
of
the
curve
yet,
but
we're
asking
people
the
best
way
to
do
that
is
social
distancing.
Also,
if
you're
caring
for
elderly
people
and
not
visiting
people
I
think
you
can
check
in
with
them
by
calling
by
texting
facetiming
using
all
those
tools
so
that
there
is
some
social
interaction.
A
But
that's
social,
social
interaction
needs
to
be
most
of
it
through
technology
right
now.
So
just
keep
that
in
your
head.
If
you
can
and
maybe
practice
that
in
your
homes,
the
Boston
resiliency
fund
in
three
days,
we've
we've
raised
sixteen
million
dollars
from
a
thousand
different
donors.
The
money
is
used,
it's
gonna
be
used
for
organizations
and
provide
providers
that
provide
food
to
kids,
low-income
families
and
seniors
childcare
for
first
responders
and
medical
personnel.
This
is
not
an
individual
fund.
A
This
money
is
going
to
be
used
to
make
sure
that
we
have
enough
food
that
we
can
get
that
food
out
to
different
neighborhoods
and
different
communities,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
it
out
to
the
seniors
as
well.
The
Boston
Public
Schools
last
week
and
this
week
have
distributed
over
fifty
thousand
meals
at
assuming.
A
Let
me
correct
that
this
week,
since
Tuesday
have
distributed
over
fifty
thousand
meals
for
more
than
seventy
sites
across
the
city
to
find
out
your
location
go
to
Boston
gov,
slash
coronavirus,
those
that
is
a
program
that
we
signed
on
Monday
for
our
school-aged
kids.
We
have
put
over
seven
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
five
Chromebooks
in
students
hands
and
there's
more
to
go.
A
We
have
our
volunteer
teachers
and
our
school
leaders
I'd
like
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
school
leaders
for
the
great
work
that
they're
doing
and
making
sure
that
our
kids
get
the
the
tools
they
need.
So
we
can
have
online
learning
with
our
kids
so
farther.
The
conversation
has
been
very
positive
with
that,
but
we
want
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
we
get
as
many
Chromebooks
all
the
Chromebooks
that
we
anticipate
in
the
hands
of
our
young
people.
A
Student
engagement
is
ramping
up
over
19,000
students
were
online
using
resources
yesterday,
so
some
of
the
Chromebooks
that
we
don't
have
to
deliver
the
families
they
have
their
own
program.
They
have
their
own
computers,
so
we've
put
the
programs
on
there.
So
we
see
that
as
this
virus
continues
in
a
school
as
we
head
into
the
second
week
of
not
having
school
by
having
19,000
kids
and
next
week,
we'll
have
a
lot
more
than
that.
We'll
update
you
on
the
numbers.
It's
important
to
keep
our
young
people
engaged.
A
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
the
volunteers
and
the
teachers
and
the
people
that
are
coming
to
our
volunteer
sites
and
the
custodians
who
are
helping
us
keep
things
clean.
As
a
lot
of
industry
gets
shut
down,
we
have
to
continue
to
keep
government
moving
forward
and
there's
a
lot
of
great
frontline
people
that
are
helping
us
with
this.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
for
that.
City
Hall,
service
and
staff
I
planned
for
modified
hours
and
working
from
home
here
at
City
Hall
into
all
city
buildings,
is
in
place.
A
City
Hall
remains
open
for
critical
services.
Public
Safety,
Public
Health.
Our
priorities
in
the
building
is
being
continually
cleaned,
we're
keeping
the
city
running,
but
the
public
should
avoid
coming
in
if
at
all
possible.
Many,
if
not
most
of
all
most
of
our
services
are
available
online,
would
ask
you
to
call
3-1-1
before
you
come
in,
even
if
you're
looking
to
come
in
and
pick
up
a
birth
certificate
or
something
like
that
call
3-1-1.
A
So
we
can
have
it
ready
for
you
as
we
move
forward
here,
the
best
that's
the
best
thing
to
do,
because
again
it's
for
your
own
club
for
your
own
safety
by
not
having
contact
with
people
offices
without
transaction
windows
or
a
point
are
by
appointment
early
by
appointment.
Only
so
if
you're,
a
city,
employee
and
you're
looking
to
retire,
you
have
to
make
an
appointment
all
the
services
that
you
want
to
have
you
need
to
call
and
make
an
appointment
to
have
it
if
you
have
any
dream
on.
A
If
you
have
any
questions
on
anything
that
I
just
talked
about
and
you're,
not
sure
exactly
what
I'm
talking
about
call
3-1-1
and
we
can
make
sure
we
get
the
proper
information
to
you.
Traffic
and
parking
enforcement
is
still
in
place.
Street
cleaning
is
the
exception.
We
begin
street
cleaning
on
the
1st
of
April
I.
Think.
Actually,
some
trucks
are
out
there
now,
but
we
will
not
be
ticketing
and
showing,
but
we
are
enforcing.
We
are
enforcing
traffic
enforcement
for
several
reasons.
A
One
is
we're
asking
people
not
to
park
in
handicapped
locations
not
to
park
in
front
of
hydrants
not
to
park
in
front
of
crosswalks.
We
want
to
be
able
to
make
sure
our
city
continues
to
to
be
able
to
get
people
around
it
safely
and
if
they
need
those
parking
spaces
they're
available
with
less
traffic.
We
are
seeing
reports
of
speed
car
speeding.
We've
come
a
long
way
on
road
safety
in
our
city.
We're
focused
on
saving
lives
right
now,
so
we're
asking
people,
please
obey
the
speed
limit.
A
A
So
we're
asking
people
to
please
obey
they'll,
obey
the
speed,
the
speed
limit
and
obey
the
laws
out
that
we
have
to
help
each
other
out
here
and
that's
what
in
the
most
parts
of
our
city,
that's
what's
happening,
and
we
need
to
do
in
that
particular
case.
Water
and
sewer
water
and
sewer,
shutoff
and
late
fees
have
been
suspended,
a
reminder
that
our
water
is
clean
and
safe
to
drink.
So
as
people
are
thinking
about,
buying
water
and
stocking
up
on
water,
the
water
in
your
faucet
is
very
safe
to
drink.
A
We
have
the
cleanest
water
in
the
country
here
in
the
United
States,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
take
use
that
opportunity.
If
you
need
be
to
when
you
go
shopping,
you
don't
have
to
necessarily
buy
water,
but
our
water
is
safe.
Our
housing
plans.
We
have
agreements
to
halt
eviction
proceedings.
We
also
have
students
and
others
looking
for
housing
with
her
concerns
about
apartments
showing
violating
physical
distance
guidelines,
so
we're
asking
all
landlords,
Realtors
and
brokers
do
not
do
in-person
showing
especially
for
units
that
are
currently
occupied.
A
The
more
that
we
adhere
to
the
rules
of
social
distancing,
the
quicker
we'll
get
to
the
other
side
of
this,
and
it's
really
important
that
that
we
adhere
to
all
of
these
rules.
All
of
these
suggestions.
It's
a
situation,
that's
very
serious
and
we
want
people
to
understand
the
seriousness
of
it.
For
people
experiencing
homelessness.
A
We
have
zero
plans
to
close
our
shelters,
but
we're
going
to
continue
putting
in
place
measures
to
protect
sheltered
guests
and
prevent
the
spread
of
virus.
The
city
is
in
the
process
right
now,
finalizing
a
comprehensive
plan
and
we're
acting
now
on
parts
of
that
plan.
We're
erecting
facilities
for
screening,
testing
and
isolation
of
patients
next
to
the
South,
Hampton
Street,
shelter
and
plan
straight
in
we're
in
close
communication
with
our
partners
and
we're
focused
on
keeping
our
homeless
population
safe.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
every
person
is
safe.
A
So
again,
the
rules
are
the
same
about
about
about
physical,
distancing
and
doing
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
we
have
physical
distancing
for
our
seniors.
Our
rate
strong
Commission
is
here
for
you:
staff
is
reaching
out
through
our
building
and
service
providers,
phone
calls
in
multiple
languages
and,
as
I
said
the
other
day
and
a
lot
of
people
called
our
age.
Strong
Commission
is
for
all
of
our
older
residents
in
Boston.
If
you
have
any
concerns
or
questions
just
call
3-1-1
from
your
phone
and
we
will
connect
you
to
services
and
help
you
out.
A
A
We
are
also
working
with
to
continue
services
like
meals,
on
wheels
and
we're
working
on.
We
have
a
bunch
of
folks
working
on
comprehensive
plans
for
our
seniors
right
now
in
the
private
buildings,
as
well
as
the
ones
that
are
city-owned
and
also
on
folks
that
live
in
their
own
homes.
So
again,
any
questions
please
call
3-1-1
nurse
nursing
homes
and
assisted
living
facilities
are
not
allowing
visitors
and
we're
asking
you
that
you
adhere
to
those
rules.
It's
it's
for
the
safety
of
your
loved
one.
A
It's
for
the
safety
in
those
facilities
that
make
sure
that
they're,
safe
food
pantry
sites
are
up
and
running
they're,
using
a
grab-and-go
packaging
system
with
special
precaution.
Many
grocery
stores
I
want
to
thank
the
grocery
stores.
I
think
that
six
or
seven
now
too
many
to
name
that
have
increased
the
hours
in
the
morning
for
senior
hours.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
Many
of
your
stations
have
covered
that
and
I
appreciate
that,
and
we
encourage
our
older
residents.
A
If
you
can
get
up
and
go
go
shopping
early
in
the
morning,
so
you
can
try
and
avoid
the
crowds.
Yesterday
there
was
a
lot
of
crowd,
so
the
social
distancing
was
in
effect,
but
I
don't
know
how
successful
it
was,
but
as
days
go
on,
we
everyone
doesn't
have
to
go
shopping.
Tomorrow
morning
we
can
spread
out
over
the
next
several
days.
A
If
you
have
any
issues
with
food
or
Medicaid
or
medication,
access
issues,
we're
asking
you
again
to
call
3-1-1,
so
you
can
help.
We
can
help
you
on
a
case
by
case
basis
and
we're
also
working
on
a
larger
scale
plan
and
as
I
mentioned
yesterday,
you
can
also
many
people
have
the
relationship
with
their
own
state
representative
or
the
state
senator
or
the
city
councilor.
If
you
have
your
relationship
there
and
you
want
to
call
them
as
well,
we
are
tied
in
together.
A
As
I
mentioned
a
little
a
little
while
ago,
we
were
asking
you
to
take
precautions,
we're
asking
you
to
wash
with
soap
we're
asking
you
to
sanitize
we're
asking
to
disinfect
and
keep
you
distance,
and
if
that
means
putting
signs
up
in
your
house
or
on
the
front
door,
I
would
do
that
as
well.
So
people
coming
and
visiting
they'll
get
a
chance
to
see
you
in
the
house,
so
there'll
be
an
opportunity
there
for
that
small
businesses.
We
are
concerned
about
our
40,000
small
businesses,
we're
engaging
them.
We've
been
continuing
to
engage
them.
A
Since
this
began.
Our
small
business
team
is
out
in
the
neighborhoods.
We
sent
letters
on
safety
guidelines
in
six
different
languages.
We
lifted
up
licensing
regulations
to
allow
takeout
and
delivery
services.
We've
conducted
a
survey
over
over
1,100
businesses
and
with
taking
those
survey
and
information
that
we're
getting
from
them
to
see
how
we
can
further
assist
them.
We
are
developing
resources,
we're
creating
a
guidebook
for
offering
takeout
and
delivery.
It's
also
for
groceries,
pharmacies
and
other
businesses.
A
We
also
have
one-on-one
technical
help
to
get
businesses
online,
we're
helping
juggs
job
seekers
find
work
as
drivers
and
shoppers
we're
reaching
out
to
companies
that
that
might
need
help
in
delivery,
so
we're
reaching
out.
So
you
can
contact
our
Office
of
Economic
Development
and
we
will
Bryan
connect
you
to
some
employment
opportunities.
I
know
many
people
in
the
restaurant
business
we're
working
and
not
working
now,
and
they
don't
know
what
they're
going
to
do.
So
this
might
be
some
opportunity,
so
I'd
suggest
you
call
us
we're.
A
Also
developing
a
new
platform
called
support:
Boston
restaurants,
it's
a
directory
for
residents
to
know
what
is
open
and
what
businesses
can
share
information
on
gift
cards,
etc.
So
one
of
the
things
that
one
of
our
business-
if
you
want
to
get
takeout
and
many
of
these
places
delivering
you
can
take
takeout
they'll,
deliver
it
to
your
house
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
for
you
to
get
something
different,
maybe
to
eat
in
the
house,
but
it's
not
between
for
us
to
help
our
businesses
to
keep
going
and
that's
something
that
that's
really
important.
A
We
also
have
another
survey
on
the
way
that's
going
to
go
out
to
businesses.
The
results
will
inform
our
ongoing
response
for
businesses
that
are
watching
and
haven't
been
connected
to
the
city,
and
this
was
the
first
you're
hearing
of
it.
We're
asking
you
to
go
to
Boston
gov,
slash,
small
business,
that's
Boston,
Daka,
/,
small
business
for
general
updates
and
if
you
can
get
a
pen,
I
just
want
to
give
you
some
general
numbers
and
websites
for
general
information
everything
I
talked
about.
A
Today,
you
can
go
to
Boston
gov,
slash
coronavirus,
that's
Boston,
gov,
slash
coronavirus!
If
you
live
in
the
city
of
Boston,
you
can
call
3-1-1
if
you're
watching
and
you
want
to
connect
outside
of
Boston.
The
state
numbers
2-1-1,
so
the
city
of
Boston,
is
3
1
1
and
the
state
is
2
1
1
to
get
regular
updates
by
text.
You
type
in
the
word:
Bossk
Ovid,
BOS,
COV
ID,
and
you
text
it
to
nine
nine
four
one,
one.
That's
bosco
vid,
texted
to
nine
nine,
nine
four
one
one!
A
Please
do
not
trust
some
of
the
things
that
you're
seeing
on
social
media
there's
been
rumors
again
today
about
a
shutdown
in
the
federal
government
and
a
shutdown
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
The
governor
spoke
a
couple
hours
ago,
he's
pretty
clear
that
there's
no
shutdown
happening
in
Massachusetts
and
leases
of
right
now,
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
information
goes
out
not
to
set
panic.
We
want
everyone
to
make
sure
that
we
are
reaching
out
to
everyone,
no
matter
who
they
are
or
what
their
access
to
technology
is.
A
So
tomorrow
the
city
of
Boston,
along
with
elected
officials
and
community
organizations
of
community
groups,
are
going
to
be
gathering
in
different
locations.
Fewer
than
25
people
in
every
location
and
we're
gonna
be
doing
it
printed
delivery.
A
printed
information
to
homes
across
the
city
we
have
about
a
thousand
volunteers
were
signed
up
to
deliver
information
in
several
different
languages.
This
is
the
document.
It's
a
seven
page
or,
as
you
open
it
up,
you
go
to
different
information
languages
that
are
inside,
so
we're
gonna.
Have
this
done
and
drop
tomorrow?
A
We're
gonna
be
all
over
the
city
of
Boston
we're
going
to
adhere
to
physical
distance
and
hygiene,
so
we're
asking
people
just
you
have
to
sign
up
through
the
city.
We
don't
want
to
have
hundreds
of
people
show
up
in
locations.
We
are
breaking
the
locations
down,
they're,
already
broken
down
into
sections
or
sections
of
the
city
and
we're
limiting
the
number
of
people
in
those
particular
areas
to
be
able
to
get
this
information
out.
A
Lastly,
I
want
you
to
just
continue
to
keep
practicing
physical
distance
and
strict
hygiene
washing
your
hands,
often
with
soap
and
water
using
hand.
Sanitizer
physical
distance
is
an
opportunity
for
you
to
stay
six
feet
away
from
somebody.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
say
that
I'm
watching
people
for
the
most
part
it's
working
as
I
look
out
here.
It's
kind
of
working
I
think
it's
not
quite
six
feet
up
across
the
board,
but
it
will
be
in
about
two
seconds,
I
think
and
we're
asking
the
same
here
for
the
press.
A
We
want
to
make
it
much
space
available
for
folks,
so
that
we
can
continue
doing
that.
I'm
really
insisting
on
no
crowds
of
gatherings;
sixth
Street
between
people
hand-washing
with
soap
and
soap,
and
warm
water,
sanitizing,
disinfecting
your
surfaces,
not
just
your
home
surfaces
but
doorknobs
in
car
doors,
and
things
like
that.
We're
asking
people
if
you
feel
sick,
isolate
yourself,
contact
your
doctor
or
3-1-1
to
help.
So
we
can
help
you
with
that.
What
we
have
the
miss
helpline
through
our
Department
of
Public
Health.
A
We
want
you
to
continue
to
reach
out
to
folks
and
to
each
other.
I
want
to
ask
people
in
the
recovery
community
that
we're
listening
today,
reach
out
to
somebody
who
might
need
to
reach
out
to
there
are.
There
are
online
meetings
happening
through
Alcoholics,
Anonymous
and
Narcotics
Anonymous,
but
it's
important
for
us
to
reach
out
to
somebody
who
might
need
a
phone
call,
so
we're
asking
you
to
reach
out,
let's
say
strong
in
Boston
and
let's
keep
moving
forward
with
that
I'll
open
up
to
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
The
question
is:
is
what's
going
on
at
construction
sites,
construction
sites
in
the
city
of
Boston,
commercial
construction
sites
are
shut
down,
both
Union
and
non-union
is
shut
down.
We
are
making
sure
that
they
have
until
this
weekend
to
make
sure
any
safety
precautions
on
the
job
that
have
to
be
put
in
place.
The
work
as
gets
done.
We
allow
them
the
opportunity
to
finish
the
week
to
get
this
any
safety
that
needs
to
be
done.
A
What
I
mean
by
that
is
on
tall
buildings,
if
they're
open
at
the
Trop
making
sure
that
everything
in
that
building
is
it's
basically
covered
and
tied
down
so
that
in
case
the
wind
comes
through,
it
doesn't
go
off
the
building.
We
are
allowing
emergency
construction,
which
means
any
construction
going
on
in
hospitals
right
now
that
they're
trying
to
make
sure
that
hospital
rooms
being
renovated.
A
We're
gonna
allow
that
work
to
go
on
because
they're
gonna
need
the
space
we're
allowing
any
emergency
construction
work
on
the
streets
to
go
on
we're
allowing
any
construction
in
private
homes
to
continue
to
move
forward.
If
company,
if
private
contractors
want
to
do
work
in
homes,
they
can
do
that
that
doesn't
mean
building
new
homes,
a
10-story
building
or
a
semi
to
1010
1010
apartment
building.
That
means
any
renovations
going
in
homes
can
continue
forward.
The
state
Massport
and
the
T
have
not
followed.
A
If
you
contact
in
special
services,
we
will,
we
will
grant
the
permit
for
emergency
work,
so
anything
that
has
to
happen
if
you
have
elevators
entering
buildings
that
need
emergency
work
will
allow
building
that
to
happen,
but
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
construction
works
closed
down.
The
reason
for
it
the
same
reason
why
people
are
sending
people
home
to
prevent
the
stretch
spread
of
the
corona
virus.
A
The
question
is:
do
I
anticipate
ordering
the
similar
to
New
York
in
order
to
stay
home
unless
your
essential
personnel?
We
have
not
done
that
yet
here
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
but
what
we
are
asking
people
to
do
is
it's
our
responsibility.
Now
it's
within
our
own
grasp
to
stop
the
spread
of
this
virus.
We
do
it
by
social
distancing.
We
do
it
by
making
sure
physical
distancing
is
not
happening.
We
do
it
by
not
going
into
large
groups.
We
do
it
by
not
bringing
people
in.
A
We
have
to
make
sure
do
everything
we
can
to
keep
these
numbers
down.
I've
seen
a
lot
of
people
and
you
know,
stay
home
and
work
from
work
from
home
and
not
in
Boston,
but
I
still
hear
stories
of
people
having
gatherings
at
the
house.
That
can't
happen.
That
can't
happen.
All
it
takes.
Is
one
person
in
that
gathering
to
have
symptoms
of
the
corona
virus,
the
carrier
and
potentially
impact
everyone
in
that
room.
A
This
is
a
quote.
The
question
is:
is
this
being
a
large
field,
possibly
being
built
in
Seattle
and
is
there
need
in
in
Boston
and
Massachusetts
for
that?
The
answer
to
that
potentially?
But
what
we've
been
identifying
it's
sites
that
could
be
used
as
converted
into
extra
space,
whether
it's
for
a
homeless
population,
whether
it's
for
homeless
families,
whether
it's
for
additional
potential
Hospital
hospital
beds?
If
you
will
we're
working
with
the
state
right
now
on
of
cataloging
the
spaces
available
here
in
the
city
and
if
an
EP?
B
A
We
worked
with
garages,
I
mentioned
it.
Garages,
we've
laid
the
twelve
twelve
garages
have
work
with
us
to
offer
reduce
rates,
and
sometimes
some
of
those
cases
free,
so
we're
working
we're
doing
that
today.
So
when
we
put
the
call
out
this
morning
for
that
this
is
about
parking
for
medical
personnel.
We
put
the
call
out
for
that
this
morning
and
we
already
have
twelve
twelve
responses
and,
by
the
time
I
go
up
to
the
office.
We
might
have
more.
B
A
I,
don't
think
you
can
I
can
give
you
one
biggest
challenge
for
the
day,
I
think
in
the
different
industries
that
we
have
there's
different
challenges:
I
think
in
our
medical
industry.
It's
making
sure
they
have
the
proper,
proper
equipment
they
need
to
do
their
job.
I.
Think
the
biggest
challenge
for
all
of
us
is
making
sure
that
we
continue
to
try
and
this
trend
and
change
that
curve
and
I.
Think
as
I
looked
around
the
country
and
I
was
watching
TV
earlier
I.
A
Think
Michigan
went
up
by
400%
in
the
last
in
the
last
couple
days
of
people
infected
with
the
corona
virus.
I
think
the
biggest
challenge
is
making
sure
that
that
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
for
the
people
of
Boston.
We're
making
sure
that
our
families,
that
that
are
you
know,
underserved
families
and
our
low-income
families
have
the
supplies.
They
need.
A
A
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
the
phone
today
of
an
unconference
coughed,
a
conference
coughed
a
conference
call
and
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
that,
as
we
move
down
this
road
that
we're
thinking
and
handling
any
situation
that
might
arise
the
question
about
the
access
capacity
for
hospitals.
That's
a
big
question:
that's
a
big
issue
that
might
not
be
as
big
of
an
issue
today
as
it
could
be
on
Sunday.
A
So
it's
about
it's
about
addressing
all
the
needs
that
people
have,
but
also
addressing
the
potential
questions
that
might
come
Sunday
and
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
get
caught
kind
of
not
prepared
for
anything
that
comes
our
way
and
I
think
that
staying
in
close
communication
sharing
the
best
information
we
possibly
can.
All
of
those
things
are
vitally
important
to
moving
forward.
A
No
I
have
no
symptoms,
and
you
know
that
when
I
saw
that
last
week
on
TV
about
the
president,
what
did
he
have
the
virus
or
not
I?
Think
if
I
had
the
symptoms?
If
I
came
down
for
symptoms,
what
I
would
do
is
I'd
go
home
and
and
in
self
quarantine
myself
I
would
contact
my
medical
provider.
I
would
contact
the
public
health
nurse.
They
would
walk
me
through
a
situation
to
see
if
what
the
case
was
and
if
need
be,
I
definitely
have
the
right
to
have
the
test.
A
I,
don't
think
you
waste
the
test
on
me
if
I
don't
need
the
test,
but
if
I
had
the
symptoms,
obviously
I'd
want
the
test
and
I
think
that
that's
right
now,
I
want
to
make
sure
the
people
that
tested
being
available
off
of
the
people
that
need
it.
The
people
are
sick.
We
want
to
make
sure
they
have
the
test,
because
if
they
have
the
coronavirus,
we
want
to
be
able
to
get
them
to
help
they
can
get.
C
A
B
A
It's
a
good
idea,
I
think
I.
Think
it's
an
idea
worth
looking
at
and
I
think
that
I
had
a
conversation
this
morning
at
the
state
and
I
think
that
to
talk
about
this
I
think
you
know,
I
was
on
a
radio
station
earlier
and
they
asked
me
about
moratorium
on
rent
renters
paying
and
the
difficulty
with
that
is,
if
you,
if
you
own
a
home
and
your
rent,
that
the
rents
are
stops
paying
and
there's
not
moratorium
for
you
on
the
mortgage.
A
That
makes
a
very
difficult
compliment
very
difficult
for
you,
because
you
could
lose
your
house,
so
I
think
it's
absolutely
worth.
Looking
at
and
I
think
that,
whether
it's
a
stimulus
package
from
the
federal
government
or
the
state,
we
should
be
looking
at
that.
You
know
we
have
two
weeks
into
this
right
now,
and
you
know
people
in
in
in
in
ten
days
actually
11
days,
rent
sidhu
generally
usually
the
first
a
month.
Many
people
are
struggling
right
now
about,
if
they're
not
working,
what
do
they
do?
