From YouTube: COVID-19 Media Availability 6/25/20
Description
Mayor Walsh hosts a media availability to discuss updates relating to COVID-19.
A
They
here
today,
I'm
gonna,
start
with
the
latest
covert
19
numbers
here
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
but
also
the
city
of
Boston
in
Massachusetts.
As
of
yesterday
Wednesday,
the
state
reached
a
goal
of
a
hundred
and
seven
thousand
six
hundred
and
eleven
cases
assume
a
total
of
107
thousand
six
hundred
eleven
cases.
It
was
a
one-day
increase
of
172
and
the
state
now
has
confirmed
seven
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty
eight
people
have
lost
their
life
to
the
Cova
19
and
that's
up
from
48
from
the
previous
day.
A
Boston
numbers
are,
as
of
today,
that's
wise.
A
couple
minutes
late
coming
down.
We
just
got
them.
We
had
a
one
day
increase
of
twenty
nine
cases.
We
have
now
recorded
thirteen
thousand
three
hundred
eighty-two
cases
and
if
you
have
noticed
that
trend
has
been
pretty
low
in
the
city
of
Boston
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
we
have
confirmed
that
nine
thousand
three
hundred
and
three
people
have
fully
recovered
from
Cove
in
nineteen
and
that's
up
by
forty
seven.
A
So
I
want
to
just
thank
or
congratulate
all
the
people
that
have
recovered
from
covin
nineteen,
seven
hundred
and
three
people.
We
have
lost
seven
hundred
three
people.
Do
the
Cova
nineteen
in
the
city
of
Boston,
that's
up
from
three
deaths
record
of
the
day
before
and
the
people
that
have
still
sick
and
suffering
like
Ovid
and
the
families
that
lost
loved
ones.
We
want
you
to
know
that
we're
thinking
of
you
and
praying
for
you,
and
we
have
been
quite
honestly
from
the
very
beginning
of
this
pandemic.
A
Our
Public
Health
metrics
continue
to
move
in
the
right
direction.
Average
new
cases
in
Boston
came
down
by
fifty
percent
from
the
time
frame,
June.
Fourth
to
June,
seventeenth
and
continued
to
decline,
which
is
which
is
a
great
scientist,
see
the
overall
positive
test
rate
is
down
to
seventeen
point.
Nine
percent
and
the
last
week's
rate
was
1.9
percent,
which
are
both
new
lows
that
we're
experiencing
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
the
number
of
Kovac
patients
in
Boston
I
see
use
is
down
by
eighty
seven
percent
since
the
peak
in
April.
A
So
we
we
can.
We
feel
good
about
where
we
are,
as
we
enter
into
Phase
two
step
two
in
the
reopening
we're
here,
because
residents
and
businesses
have
done
an
incredible
job
of
doing
what
we
asked
people
to
do
over
the
last
four
months
wearing
face
coverings,
washing
hands
social,
distancing,
physical
distance,
doing
all
of
those
things
and
those
measures
clearly
are
working
here
and
as
a
city
I'm,
certainly
proud
and
I
wanted
to
say.
A
We
all
should
be
proud
of
where
we
are
in
the
city
and
if
we
want
to
keep
this
momentum
moving
forward
and
keep
going
in
the
trend
that
we're
going,
we
need
to
continue
to
be
very
diligent
in
our
work.
That's
quite
the
contrast
to
what
we're
seeing
in
the
United
States.
We
saw
the
most
new
cases
of
any
day
since
this
pandemic
started
yesterday
with
36,000
new
cases
here
in
the
United
States
of
America,
several
states
are
in
full-blown
surges.
A
Every
new
step,
we've
taken
and
reopening
we
have
a
renewed
focus
on
the
risk
involved
in
the
precautions
that
we
need
to
take.
One
is
making
sure
that
we
don't
spread
the
virus.
No
business
should
reopen
unless
they're
ready
to
do
so
safely
by
meeting
all
of
the
state
requirements
by
working
with
the
city
and
some
of
the
requirements
that
we
have
and
by
managing
the
risks
every
single
day.
This
is
not
something
that
we
can
feel
comfortable
with
in
a
couple
of
weeks
or
let
our
guard
down.
A
We
need
to
be
continued
to
to
be
to
be
very
cognizant
of
the
fact
of
the
virus
I'm
inviting
everyone
to
consult
or
to
or
the
door
work
with
the
guidelines
and
resource
that
we
have
available.
If
anyone
has
any
questions
at
all,
we're
asking
you
to
go
to
Boston
gov,
slash,
reopening
we've
been
very
open
and
transparent
since
the
beginning
of
Kovan
19,
we've
got
as
much
information
out
to
people
as
possible,
I
think.
A
In
some
cases
we
might
have
overload
people
with
information,
but
it
really
is
important
that
if
you
have
any
questions
you
go
to
Boston
gov,
slash,
reopening
small
businesses
can
apply
for
a
PPE
for
grants
to
buy
PPE
cleaning
products,
petitions
and
other
safety
resources.
Many
of
the
concerns
we
heard
in
the
very
beginning
was
our
small
businesses
that
they
wanted
to
open,
but
they
didn't
have
the
ability
to
never
the
financial
means
to
to
be
able
to
buy
the
PPE
or
the
cleaning
materials
or
the
petitions
that
are
needed
in
stores.
A
So
we
created
that
fund
and
we're
asking
you
to
please
apply
for
that
fund.
This
week
we've
been
hosting
information
sessions
for
businesses
in
many
different
sectors.
The
recordings
will
be
posted
online,
so
people
that
couldn't
make
it
to
the
session
they'll
have
an
opportunity
to
understand
and
hear
some
of
the
questions
that
might
have
been
asked,
but
the
information
that
we
have
and
we
have
more
sessions
for
each
step
as
we
move
forward
and
for
everyone.
A
We're
asking
you
when
you
patronize
businesses,
whether
you're
outside
your
home,
we're
asking
you
please
wear
a
face
covering
stay
six
feet
away
from
others.
Avoid
crowds,
I,
noticed
a
lot
more
people
wearing
face,
masks
and
as
they're
walking
down
the
street
they're
pushing
to
the
left
or
to
the
right
so
that
you're
not
walking
close
to
each
other
crossing
down
the
street.
We're
asking
people
to
continue
to
wash
your
hands
as
often
as
possible,
with
soap
and
warm
water,
making
sure
that
that's
something
that
you
have
to
do.
A
A
lot
of
people
now
fist
pumping
and
said
to
hand
shaking
you
can
still
contract
the
virus
through
fist-bumping
fist-bumping.
So
we're
asking
you
make
sure
you
constantly
washing
your
hands
and
doing
all
the
things
you
need
to
do.
We're
asking
you
to
clean
down
surfaces,
the
doorknobs
and
knobs
and
different
things
like
that
in
your
home,
as
people
come
up
to
the
door,
you
might
have
delivery
drivers,
not
realizing
and
touching
the
door
or
touching
the
doorbell
again.
A
All
of
these
are
precautions
that
people
have
been
doing
that
are
working
and
the
proof
the
proof
is
there.
All
you
have
to
do
is
just
google
online.
Looking
United
States
of
America
look
up
coronavirus
cases
you'll
see
the
left
side
of
this
country
in
the
southern
part
of
this
country,
where
it's
all
dark,
red
and
you'll
see
on
the
right
side
of
the
country
where
I
think
it's,
depending
on
the
color,
depending
on
what
you
want.
Sometimes
it's
a
soft
yellow
that
show
that
the
cases
are
really
low.
A
Those
are
things
that
we
have
to
continue
to
be
very
cognizant
of.
Do
your
part
in
keeping
yourself
safe
in
your
community
safe
and
help
keep
Boston
Massachusetts
on
track
on
this
recovery.
It
would
be
ashamed
to
see
all
of
this
incredible
work.
Go
to
the
wayside
and
see
these
large
stages
that
other
places
are
seeing
I'm
not
saying
that
we
won't
see
a
surge
in
September
vicars.
A
Certainly,
that's
something
that
all
the
experts
are
telling
us,
but
it
depends
on
what
that
surge
will
look
like
recovery
means,
first
and
foremost
containing
the
spread
of
the
virus.
That's
how
we'll
restore
our
economy
in
our
community
in
a
way
that's
safe
and
sustainable,
and
to
achieve
both
of
these
goals
in
every
aspect
of
recovery.
It
also
means
equity.
A
We
have
the
resources,
the
opportunities
to
where
they're,
putting
the
resource
and
opportunities
to
where
they're
needed,
and
we
have
to
rebuild
our
systems
as
we
all
reopen
to
eliminate
the
strain
of
racism
to
create
greater
opportunities
for
those
who
have
been
excluded
in
the
past.
That's
how
we're
going
to
emerge
out
of
this
crisis
stronger
as
a
city
and
honestly
as
a
community
and
as
individuals.
That's
how
we're
going
to
respond
with
resilience
to
any
challenges
that
we
face
today.
A
My
announcements
today
advance
our
work
to
root
out
systemic
racism
and
build
up
racial
equity
in
our
city.
As
I
said
at
this
podium.
Almost
a
month
ago
now,
I
talked
about
I'm,
gonna,
listen
and
I
talked
about.
There
will
be
a
time
for
plans
and
there'll
be
a
time
for
action.
There'll
be
time
for
his
investments,
and
that's
today
is
another
day
in
advancing
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
in
the
city.
A
That's
what
we're
committed
to
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
that's
why
it
would
take
it's
an
important
first
steps.
In
the
very
last
few
weeks
here
we
introduced
immediate
reforms
working
with
the
police
department
and
policies,
including
the
eight
can't
wait,
useful
for
standards
and
new
intervention
training
that
the
Police
Department
is
working
on.
Right
now
we
created
a
task
force
to
conduct
a
deeper
review
of
police
policies
and
oversight,
we're
going
to
bring
that
review
to
the
community
and
act
on
the
recommendations.
This
year
they
had
their
first
meeting
last
week.
A
There'll
be
several
more
meetings
within
60
days
or
by
60
days,
they're
going
to
come
back
with
a
report
to
us.
The
report
is
going
to
go
to
the
public
for
input
and
conversation,
and
then
30
days
later,
we'll
be
issuing
a
report
to
the
community
I
stood
here
and
declared
racism
to
be
a
public
health
crisis.
A
Two
weeks
ago,
and
now
due
to
the
yesterday's
budget,
we're
making
investments
of
three
million
dollars
to
fund
public
health
strategies
and
tackle
structural
inequities.
We
are
moving
20%
of
the
Boston
Police
Department's
overtime
budget
into
physical
and
mental
health
programming.
The
safety
and
well-being
of
our
young
people
in
the
long-term
success
of
our
neighborhoods
I
want
to
thank
the
city,
councilors
Jesse
aid
that
voted
for
the
budget,
allowing
those
investments
to
move
forward
and
advance
the
work
of
racial
justice
in
our
city.
A
As
they've
said,
systemic
change
doesn't
come
from
one
policy
or
budget
investment.
We've
seen
that
that
doesn't
work
because
it's
been
going
on
for
decades,
not
only
here
in
the
city
in
the
Commonwealth,
but
the
country.
Our
goals
must
be
to
build
a
process
for
change
into
the
way
government
and
our
society
works
today.
I
announce
the
next
steps.
A
That's
going
to
help
us
do
that
I'm,
taking
executive
action
to
create
the
first
in
the
first
time
of
Boston's
history
and
equity
and
inclusion
cabinet
in
my
administration,
the
equity
inclusion
cabinet
will
drive
the
work
to
dismantle
systemic
racism,
embedded
embedded
equity
in
our
planning
and
operations.
Moving
forward.
That
work
will
also
talk
about
taking
down
barriers
to
equity
and
health
and
economic
well-being,
accelerating
our
progress
on
a
city
workforce
at
all
levels
that
reflect
our
city
and
supporting
full
inclusion
and
opportunity
for
immigrants
refugees
at
out
of
other
vulnerable
communities.
A
The
cabinet
we're
bringing
together
in
existing
departments,
including
our
office
of
resilience
and
racial
equity,
diversity,
language
and
communication
access,
women's
advancement,
immigrant
advancement
and
human
rights,
and
it
will
apply
an
equity
lens
to
every
single
department
and
service,
ensuring
accountability
to
this
lens
in
all
of
our
city
policies
and
practices.
It
will
put
an
intentional
focus
on
supporting
communities
of
color
and
marginalized
groups,
and
it
will
partner
with
residents,
community
groups
and
organizations.
A
Nonprofits
in
businesses
to
build
equity
throughout
our
economy
and
our
society
I
will
be
appointing
a
chief
of
equity
inclusion
to
lead
this
work.
The
cabinet
chief
will
be
at
the
table
as
we
frame
and
decide
policy
at
the
highest
levels,
and
the
work
of
this
cabinet
will
combat
systemic
racism
in
every
single
way
that
city
government
touches
and
the
people
and
the
lives
that
we
touch.
An
important
part
of
this
cabinet
work
will
be
to
leverage
private
and
nonprofit
resources
through
cross
sector
partnerships.
A
In
recent
weeks,
I've
heard
from
many
business
leaders
who
want
to
put
capital
behind
the
work
being
done
by
lifting
up
the
communities
of
color
to
that
ends.
I
will
also
today
announced
that
we
are
creating
a
new
financial
resource
called
the
Boston
racial
equity
fund,
which
will
work
directly
with
the
equity
inclusion
cabinet
and
the
cabinet
chief.
This
fund
will
invest
in
nonprofits
that
empower
black
and
brown
residents
in
economic
development,
in
public
health,
in
youth,
employment
and
education
in
the
arts
and
other
areas.
A
Its
mission
is
to
increase
safety
and
well-being
and
equity
and
the
prosperity
of
the
black
and
brown
community.
Our
initial
goal
to
raise
for
this
fund
is
10
million
dollars
and
our
long-term
goal
is
to
get
50
million
dollars
into
this
fund
next
week.
I
will
announce
the
steering
committee
that
we
made
up
of
leaders
in
business,
higher
education
and
Community
Development.
A
As
I
said,
there
is
great
interest
in
this
work
right
now,
and
one
of
our
goals
is
to
coordinate
and
amplify
this
interest,
in
particular,
there's
a
statewide
effort
being
led
by
the
black
and
brown
business
leaders
that
I'm
going
to
support
as
well,
so
we're
working
with
those
leaders
to
coordinate
the
work
that
we're
all
doing,
because
it's
important
that
it's
not
just
one
fund
or
one
group
of
people.
It's
making
sure
that
many
groups
are
people.
A
Several
groups
of
people
come
to
the
table
to
continue
this
work
together,
we
are
going
to
capitalize
on
this
opportunity
to
not
only
meet
the
pressing
needs,
but
we're
going
to
empower
communities
and
individuals
to
define
and
lead
systemic
change
themselves.
This
cannot
be
led
by
a
mayor.
This
cannot
be
a
led
by
political
leaders
and
city
councilors.
This
needs
to
be
led
by
the
community.
This
needs
to
be
this
change
needs
to
come
through
all
of
us.
A
We
have
a
living
model
of
success
that
we
that
that
we
use
for
the
approach
and
we
the
model
as
the
blosum
emergency
funds.
The
coab
in
nineteen
health
and
equity
stands
for
us
in
a
very
short
period
of
time.
We've
been
able
to
leverage
philanthropic,
giving
giving
excuse
me
into
equity
gains
for
communities
of
color,
led
by
communities
of
color
around
healthcare,
around
financial
relief
and
employment,
and
that
work
gives
us
the
confidence
that
the
racial
equity
funds
can
be.
A
A
game-changer
I
also
have
a
third
announcement
that
advances
equity
in
housing
this
year,
we'll
be
filing
as
new
zoning
amendment
aimed
at
ensuring
access
to
fair
housing
in
every
single
neighborhood,
not
City.
This
amendment
will
require
developers
in
our
city
to
do
more
to
fight
displacement
and
to
promote
inclusion.
The
BPD
a
is
working
with
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development,
the
Boston
Housing
Authority,
the
Office
of
Fair
Housing,
to
create
a
project
assessment
tool.
The
purpose
will
be
to
identify
and
address
the
risk
of
displacement,
as
well
as
foster
access
for
historically
excluded
communities.
A
I
want
to
give
a
big
thank
you
to
city
council,
Lydia
Edwards
for
her
leadership
on
this
issue.
We
had
a
meeting
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
Lydia
made
it
real
real
in
that
meeting
about
the
importance
of
this
amendment
about
saving
people's
ability
to
live
in
their
communities.
I
also
want
to
thank
City
Council
Kenzie
Blanc.
They
have
worked
very
closely
on
drafting
this
language
and
we
look
forward
to
additional
conversations
with
the
council
as
a
whole
in
the
community.
A
Thanks
in
part
to
this
collaboration,
we
believe
Boston
will
be
the
first
city
in
the
country
with
fair
housing
requirements
written
into
our
zoning
code.
This
is
not.
This
is
not
a
new
idea.
This
came
under
President
Clinton
was
changed
under
the
president,
bush
came
under
President
Obama
was
basically
eliminated
under
President
Trump,
and
this
will
be
the
first
time
that
we
put
this
in
a
zoning
code
in
a
city
where
the
godless
who's
sitting
in
Washington
DC.
Those
protections
are
still
there.
A
The
steps
that
we
launched
today
are
further
steps
toward
systemic
change
in
equity.
Inclusion
cabinet
restructures
the
executive
branch
of
city
government
here
in
City
Hall
to
put
racist
racial
justice
at
the
center
of
decision-making
process
and
implementation
process.
A
racial
equity
fund
draws
on
the
wealth
generated
in
Boston's
economy,
much
of
it
through
the
work
of
the
black
and
brown
residents
and
directed
back
into
the
communities
of
color,
a
Fair
Housing
amendment
in
the
zoning
places
real
real
racial
equity
mechanism
into
development.
A
We
all
know
there's
still
much
more
work
to
be
done,
but
we
have
made
a
strong
start
and
we
are
well-positioned
to
continue
this
work.
These
structural
reforms
strengthen
our
ability
to
drive
systemic
change
through
our
city
budget.
That's
what
the
City
Council
approved
yesterday.
We
refile
the
budget
after
taking
into
account
the
economic
impacts
of
kovin
19
in
the
battles
that
lies
ahead
of
us.
With
this
pandemic.
We
started
this
budget
with
the
resubmission,
with
65
million
fewer
dollars
than
anticipated.
A
A
We
also
are
looking
at
historic
advances
in
equity,
something
that
we
can
set
it
throughout
this
budget
process.
More
importantly,
in
the
last
several
weeks
we're
making
an
80
million
dollar
investment
or
77%
increase
for
our
schools.
There
was
a
story
yesterday
in
the
Boston
Globe.
Our
budget
story
is
on
there,
but
the
story
that
much
was
above
us
and
below
us
talking
about
how
districts
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
have
to
lay
teachers
off
because
of
the
crisis
they're
facing
we're,
making
an
80
million
dollar
investment
in
our
schools.
A
16
million
dollar
increase
to
affordable
housing,
including
one
of
the
first
city,
funded
rental,
rental,
voucher
programs
in
the
country
for
families
that
are
under
house
and
making
sure
that
are
in
shelter.
In
addition,
at
thirteen
million
dollar
increase
in
the
public
health
budget,
three
million
dollars
from
the
police
budget
to
directly
address
racism.
A
A
They're
gonna
well
a
little.
The
question
is
procurements
and
in
city
contracts
and
other
things
will
they
be
running
through
this
this
this,
this
new
cabinet,
the
equity
inclusion
cabinet?
What
it's
going
to
be
doing,
that
inclusion
count
will
be
working
cross
lines
across
departments
to
make
sure
that
we
set
out
goals
that
those
goals
are
hit,
but
also
within
the
jurisdiction
of
them.
They
have
five
departments-
women's
advancement,
immigrant
advancement,
some
of
these
other
departments,
so
really,
as
we
think,
the
way
I'm
viewing.
A
This
is
that
every
conversation
that
we
have
at
the
cabinet,
we
talk
about
equity,
inclusion
now
in
the
cabinet,
and
we
talk
about
it
in
the
sense
of
when
we
talk
about
different
issues,
whether
its
procurement,
what
does
policing
whether
it's
fire,
whatever
it
might
be?
But
this
is
somebody's
gonna,
be
talking
about
every
single
week
we
haven't
meaning.
A
Yeah,
that's
what
the
intention
would
be
for
this
cabinet
to
really
think
outside
of
the
box
and
to
come
to
me
new
ideas
on
on
not
necessary
policing.
But
how
would
we
look
at
doing
different
revenue
functions?
Maybe
having
conversations
the
police
department?
What
are
some
of
the
things
that
have
come
that
they
would
like
to
look
at
so,
for
example,
one
of
the
conversations
been
happening
in
the
last
four
weeks
is
that
the
police
get
called
right
now
to
every
almost
everything
that
happens.
Do
you
call
nylon
wine?
The
police
show
up.
A
Some
of
that
is
mental
health
issues.
Some
of
that
is
substance,
use
disorder
issues.
There
are
some
looking
at
some
models
around
the
country
of
cities
that
that
have
a
different
approach
to
that.
So,
rather
than
said,
a
police
officer
to
a
call
that
might
have
somebody
that
has
mental
health
issues,
we
think
of
something
different,
so
that
person
will
be
working
across
pattern,
they're
working
with
Public
Health
working
with
economic
development
working
with
all
of
our
cabinets.
A
That's
the
intention
behind
this
and
to
make
sure
that
I
work
I
mean
we
want
to
make
sure.
Also
so
when
somebody
comes
up
with
a
policy
whether
it's
assuming
it's
up,
neighborhood
services
via
the
neighborhood
service
cabinet,
the
we're
looking
at
to
inequity
lens
as
well.
How
are
we
making
sure
we're
hitting
the
right
population
is
doing
the
right
work
and
we're
gonna.
We've
got
to
put
more
about
that
next
week
as
well.
B
A
Would
say
caller
discrepancy,
I
think
that
what
I
would
say
is
that
we
we
have
a
budget
process
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
had
to
have
a
budget
pass,
so
we
can
get
July
1st
the
budget
moving
forward,
I
made
a
cut
of
20%
out
of
the
police
budget
for
the
overtime.
The
first
ass
was
over
time.
We
reallocated
that
money
into
programs
that
are
really
important.
We
put
together
a
review
committee
now
to
look
at
policing
and
I.
Think
the
conversations
off
the
last
question.
A
I
was
just
asked
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
what
what
are
other
opportunities
for
us
to
to
reduce
some
policing
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Do
police
need
to
go
to
all
these
calls?
We're
gonna
be
working
as
we
move
forward
here.
You
know,
I.
Think
yesterday's
budget
had
serious
consequences.
If
they
weren't
passed,
it
wasn't
passed.
The
conversations
that
we
had
were
real.
A
We
have
a
sixty
five
million
dollar
shortfall
in
our
budget
due
to
covin
19
in
the
economy,
we're
probably
depending
on
how
our
economy
moves
forward
might
have
to
make
additional
cuts
later
on
down
the
line.
If
our
economy
doesn't
turn
around,
all
indications
shows
that
we're
potentially
headed
for
a
national
recession.
Again,
if
we
don't
get,
our
economy
turned
around
fairly
quickly,
not
caused
by
anybody.
It's
caused
by
Kovan
19and
and
some
make
cuts
like
that.
A
You
can't
just
say
when
it's
not
just
simply
making
a
cut
in
the
budget,
it's
about
making
sure
there's
a
plan
and
on
how
do
you
move
forward
and
I?
Think
that
that's
what
we're
going
to
do
here
in
the
city
of
Boston?
If
the
budget
didn't
pass
yesterday,
there
was
going
to
be
a
notification
sent
out
today
to
the
unions
to
anticipate
layoffs
coming
because
we
just
simply
have
less
money
and
I
think
that
yesterday's
budget,
in
my
opinion,
was
a
great
budget
in
the
sense
of
what
we're
dealing
with
today.
A
Quite
honestly,
I
would
argue
my
last
seven
budgets
have
been
great
budgets
because
we've
been
focused
through
the
lens
of
equity
in
all
of
our
budgets,
whether
it's
additional
money,
it's
our
housing,
whether
it's
additional
money
into
trauma
where
the
additional
money
into
recovery
services,
additional
money
into
homelessness,
all
the
different
places
so
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
now
is
move
forward
and
take
the
next
steps
moving
forward.
And
how
do
we
collectively
work
together?
We
need
to
work
together.
We
can't
work
individually
and
I.
Think
that's
the
next
step.
A
The
question
is,
the
question
is:
can
I
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
sending
people
who
are
not
police
to
emergency
calls?
Again
we
have
to
Shawn.
We
have
to
really
think
about
what
these
other
cities
look
like
and
how
the
program
works.
So
we
have
some
work
to
do
you
can't
just
make
you
can't
just
make
a
quick
switch
like
that
and
again
work
with
the
different
communities.
A
I
think
that
we
have
to
spend
some
time
sitting
down
with
without
a
police
department,
the
leadership
of
the
police
department
to
talk
about
some
of
what
they're
seeing
and
what
they
might
understand,
realizing
that
it's
more
probably
more
appropriate
to
have
a
mental
health
professional
working
with
some
of
the
cases
they
get
called
to
so
we're
gonna
have
those
conversations
as
we
move
forward
here.
I
think.
That's
one
aspect.
I
also
think
the
other
aspect
is
just
making
sure
we
continue.
A
You
know,
please,
the
policing,
our
police
in
our
city
are
still
doing
the
job
every
day,
they're
getting
up
and
doing
their
job
they're
doing
some
incredible
work.
We've
seen
some
some
really
incredible
arrests
over
the
last
couple
of
days
with
with
gun
activity
and
and
what
we've
seen
there.
We've
also
seen
that
community
service
officers
out
with
the
community
as
best
they
can
be
with
Kovan
19
but
they're
out
there
working
in
the
communities
continuing
to
build
that
trust
and
relationship
and
I.
Think
that
you
know
at
some
point
here.
C
A
A
question
that
can
be
asked
every
mayor
in
the
country
and,
quite
honestly,
the
the
protests
or
a
movement.
It's
not
a
protest,
a
movement
people,
people
are
people
want
something
different.
They
want.
They
want
the
the
the
the
issues
of
racism
and
systemic
racism
addressed
in
all
matters,
not
just
in
policing
and
I.
Think
that
that's
something
that,
as
we
move
to
the
next
steps,
we're
going
to
talk
about
economic
development
opportunities,
we're
going
to
talk
about
health
disparities.
What
you
did
last
week
so
again,
I
mean
listen.
A
Some
people
want
me
to
shut
down
the
protests
because
they
don't
want
the
protesters
in
the
city
of
Boston.
So
quite
honestly,
I'm
asking
the
protesters
when
you
come
out
be
respectful.
You
know,
respect
the
city,
you
know
Cova
19
I'm,
asking
protest
as
I
didn't
say
this
I
should
have
when
you're
out
protesting
I'm
watching
do
yourself
a
favor,
wear
a
mask:
try
and
keep
social
distancing,
Cova
19
you're,
not
immune
to
it.
A
We're
gonna
see
you
seen
spikes
around
the
country,
if
you,
if
you
get
the
virus
while
you're
out
watching
the
streets
and
you
have
an
elderly
parent
or
an
elderly
grandparent
live
in
your
litter.
You
go
home
at
night
to
talk
about
what
you
did
that
day.
If
you
have
cope
at
19,
you
can
pass
it
on
to
them.
So
we're
asking
people
to
be
careful,
so
the
restaurants
were
closed
and
the
business
were
closed
for
a
reason
they
should
know
by
now.
If
people
don't
understand
on
the
restaurant
side,
why
we
closed
them?
C
A
A
You
know
I
think
that
that's
something
that
I
wouldn't
have
a
hearing
that'd
be
the
City
Council
I.
Suppose
you
know
I
think
that
if
we
change
the
name
of
finial
hall
thirty
years
from
now,
it
would
forget
what
happened
there
and
I
think
there
are
certain
parts
of
our
history
that
we
should
use
and
learn
from
and
so
I'm,
not
in
support
of
changing
the
if
any
harm.
A
If
you
take
a
vacation,
you
leave
that
you
leave
the
Commonwealth
when
you
come
back,
you
have
to
quarantine
for
14
days,
so
I
think
that
we
already
have
that
in
place
here.
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
continue
to
watch
the
data
really
closely.
We
still
every
day
here
are
talking
about
Cova
19
and
we're
still
focused
on
the
data
and
the
trends
and
we're
watching
that
closely,
and
you
know
I'm
hoping
if
we
see
a
spike
we'll
be
able
to
catch
that.
A
So,
for
example,
when
I
mentioned
I
think
today
was
26
cases.
The
last
10
days,
the
highest
percent,
the
highest
case
in
the
last
10
days
was
33
cases
they
believe
was
four
or
five
days
ago.
So
we're
watching
that
really
closely
and
mighty
mightiness
was
around
me
here
somewhere
we're
in
constant
communication
about
this
I'm
a
questions
you
just
asked
me
I
asked
him
all
the
time.
What
do
you
think
I?
Don't
you
want
to
address
a
little
bit
of
that?
Just
a
couple
words
yeah.
D
I
mean
I
think,
there's
no
question
that
we're.
You
know
we're
monitoring
cases,
we're
monitoring,
positivity
rate,
we're
monitoring,
hospitalization
and
we're
not
seeing
what
they're
seeing
in
other
places,
but
are
we
concerned?
Are
we
monitoring?
Do
we
want
the
state
to
also
do
the
same?
There's
no
question
because
the
reason
you're
seeing
what
you're
seeing
in
other
places
is
that
they
have
loosened,
and
some
might
argue,
they've
loosened
too
quickly,
and
so
we're
not
doing
that
here
in
Boston
and
the
mayor
has
been
really
particularly
make
sure
we
follow
guidance,
even
the
school
guidance.
D
D
Your
point
about
college
students
coming
from
all
over
where
we've
been
working
with
our
colleges
and
universities
and,
as
you
know,
they're
sort
of
independent
entities
that
are
trying
to
work
with
a
state
in
the
city.
But
we've
been
clear
that
we
have
to
follow
the
data
and
the
science
that
Mears
led
with
that
the
entire
way.
And
if
we
start
to
see
these
increases,
we'll
have
to
make
sure
that
those
plans
account
for
that.
So
that's
really
important.
A
And
I
just
think
admires
talking
for
the
last
four
months
here
in
Boston
and
Massachusetts
and
around
the
country,
there's
been
a
lot
of
stress
around
covin
19,
a
lot
of
concerns.
People
have
had
about
their
health
and
about
the
family,
self
and
and,
as
I
said
consistently
through
this
microphone
that
we
will
get
through
it
one
day
at
a
time
and
I've
been
clear
on
that
for
weeks
ago
after
the
murder
judge
Floyd,
it
sparked
a
lot
of
emotion
in
this
country.
A
So
I
just
ask
the
people
that
are
out
there
that
feel
the
pressure
of
what
we're
going
through
today,
because
a
lot
of
times
people
won't
talk
about
it.
You
know
we
will
get
through
all
this
one
day
at
a
time.
We
just
need
to
continue
to
support
each
other
work
together.
It's
a
city
Boston
has
done
that
time
and
time
and
time
again
and
I,
don't
think
I
have
to
ask
the
residents
of
Boston
I
think
we
all
know
it
it's
embedded
in
our
heart.
