From YouTube: COVID-19 Media Availability 7/21/20
Description
Mayor Walsh hosts a media availability to discuss updates relating to COVID-19.
A
A
You
can
get
connected
by
calling
3-1-1
if
you're
having
a
hard
time
with
your
mortgage
or
if
you
need
help
you
should
reach
out
to
your
lender.
I
know
that
in
programs
that
banks
have
put
forth
here
in
the
in
the
city
of
Boston
the
Commonwealth,
if
you
have
an
agreement
with
over
a
dozen,
we
have
an
agreement
over
a
dozen
major
lenders
and
certainly
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
continue
to
create
flexibility.
A
The
latest
kovin
19
numbers
in
Massachusetts,
as
of
yesterday
through
113
789
130,000
789
cases
a
1
day
increase
of
255
statewide.
There
have
been
eight
thousand
four
hundred
and
thirty
three
deaths.
That's
up
by
two
from
the
previous
day,
the
numbers
combined
both
they
confirmed
in
the
probable
cases
recorded
by
the
state
here,
Boston's
numbers.
We
have
new
numbers.
Today
we
have
recorded
thirteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty
confirmed
cases.
That's
just
four
new
cases.
As
of
yesterday,
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty
one
people
are
fully
recovered.
A
That's
an
increase
of
33
from
yesterday
and
722
people
have
passed
away
with
no
new
debts
yesterday,
which
were
grateful
for
and
wanted
to
all
the
people
still
suffering
from
Colvin
19,
the
families
suffering
we
want.
You
know
that
I
thought
some
phrasal
with
you,
as
you,
film,
recovers
from
this
illness
and
people
recovered
from
this
illness
and
also
the
families
that
lost
loved
ones.
We
want
to
know
that
how
sorry
we
are
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
A
We
continue
to
move
forward
curiously
in
step,
one
of
Phase
three
of
the
state's
reopening
plan
and
should
be
cautiously
not
curiously,
it's
kind
of
curious,
too.
We're
not
sure
when
this
is
going
to
end.
So
I
gets
a
little
bit
of
both
we're
watching
the
data
close
every
single
day.
We're
going
to
continue
to
do
that.
Our
recovery
metrics
are
still
where
they
need
to
be.
As
of
today,
for
the
week
ending
July
13th,
our
positive
test
rate
was
2.1
percent,
that's
down
from
2.5
percent
last
week.
A
That's
good
news
and
our
job
is
to
keep
that
trend
going
in
the
right
direction.
There
is
a
clear
cause
and
effect
relationship
between
collective
decisions,
individual
behaviors,
in
the
spread
of
the
virus.
We
certainly
we've
talked
about
this
several
times
here
and
we're
all
watching
on
TV
watching
what's
happening
in
other
cities
and
states
throughout
the
country
when
science
is
ignored,
so
we're
doing
all
what
we
must
keep
doing
whenever
we
can
to
prevent
the
transmission
and
to
prevent
another
surge
from
happening
here.
That's
the
foundation
of
our
planning
and
of
our
economic
recovery.
A
So
I
will
repeat
everyone
what
everyone
needs
to
keep
doing
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
this
wear
a
face
covering
when
you're
out
in
the
public,
when
you're
walking
around
we're
asking
you
to
keep
the
face
covering
on
as
you're
walking
down
the
street
or,
if
you're,
going
into
a
building.
We
had
that
face
covering
we're
asking
you
to
keep
six
feet.
Distance
from
other
people
avoid
large
crowds.
If
you're
walking
down
the
street-
and
you
see
large
groups
of
people
coming
near,
you
we're
actually
to
kind
of
separate
yourself
from
those
groups.
A
We
asked
people
to
continue
to
wash
your
hands
with
soap
and
warm
water
as
often
as
possible,
continue
to
wash
down
the
surfaces
that
have
frequently
touched,
something
that
is
really
important
to
do.
We're
asking
you
to
look
and
follow
the
public
health
guidelines
for
your
place
of
work
or
business
understanding
the
risks
of
infection
before
you
proceed
with
any
new
activity.
I
think
it's
very
important
that
folks
that
have
not
come
back
to
work.
A
Yet,
in
order
to
read
the
rules,
make
it
and
understand
what
you
need
to
do
to
keep
yourself
safe
so
that
you
can
keep
the
people
and
the
family
members
and
people
around
you
safe
as
well.
We're
asking
to
take
these
steps
to
manage
any
risks
that
might
be
out
there.
That's
why
we
have
a
two
point:
one
percent
infection
rate
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
last
week,
because
we
continued
to
do
that's
why
we
had
only
four
locations
yesterday,
quite
honestly,
because
we're
doing
all
the
things
that
we
have
to
do.
A
If
you
have
any
concerns
at
all
about
exposure,
my
recommendation
is
you
get
tested.
Testing
is
available
right
now
in
20
different
locations
across
the
city
of
Boston,
it's
covered
by
insurance.
If
you
meet
the
state
criteria,
we've
worked
hard
to
support
the
sites
that
are
free
for
all.
Whether
you
have
symptoms
or
not,
when
I
say
twenty
locations
most
of
those
locations
are
health.
A
Centers
most
neighborhoods
in
the
city
have
a
health
center,
so
you
contact
the
health
centers
to
find
out
when
you
can
get
tested,
we'll
also
work
to
bring
mobile
testing
to
communities
and
locations
where
access
is
an
issue
today,
we're
launching
a
new
mobile
testing
team
that
will
be
all
operating
for
the
next
three
months
across
the
city
of
Boston
in
many
different
neighborhoods.
It
starts
today
the
Jackson
man
community
center
in
Austin
every
two
weeks
it
will
move
to
a
different
neighborhood.
A
Often
Brighton
is
one
of
the
lowest
tested
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Austin
and
that's
why
we're
glad
to
stop
the
test
in
there
today
and
we'll
be
there
for
the
next
two
weeks?
This
mobile
testing
team
reflects
our
continued
commitment
to
citywide
testing
access.
It
reflects
our
commitment
to
leading
our
recovery
with
a
robust,
equitable
public
health
strategy.
We're
grateful
for
partnerships
with
East
Boston
neighborhood
health
center
to
operate
the
probe
this
program
to
see
what
testing
sites
are
open
near
you.
You
can
either
contact
your
health
centers
directly
or
check
the
map.
A
We
have
a
map
online,
Boston,
gov,
slash
coronavirus
or
even
call
3-1-1,
we'll
call
your
healthcare
provider,
so
there's
many
ways
of
access
for
finding
out
what
testing
can
take
place
this
weekend
and
and
yesterday
presented
another
challenge
with
the
heatwave.
We
opened
20
DCYF,
Boston
Center
for
Youth
and
Family
Centers
for
public
cooling
areas
at
40%
of
building
capacity
for
distancing
needs.
A
But
it's
really
important
that
we
have
done
in
the
past
always
check
on
our
elderly,
neighbors
or
people
that
are
housebound,
and
it's
very
important
that
we
continue
to
do
it.
Even
though
we're
in
the
midst
of
kovat
that
we
do
it
now.
If
you
see
anyone
experiencing
difficulty,
we're
asking
you
just
to
call
911
right
away,
just
get
the
call
9-1-1
and
explain
the
situation
to
the
medical
folks
on
that
one.
So
we
can
send
the
appropriate
agencies
out
to
help
people.
A
At
the
same
time,
we
know
that
outdoor
spaces
are
essential
resources
for
fresh
air
exercise,
recreation
and
mental
health.
We
are
working
to
expand
those
opportunities.
I
want
to
remind
everyone
whether
you're
in
the
city
park
or
you're,
a
DCI
Beach.
You
must,
and
you
should
follow.
Public
Health
guidelines
wear
a
face
covering
when
near
each
other,
give
at
least
six
feet
to
6
feet
of
space
do
not
become
part
of
a
crowd.
A
We
saw
pictures
this
weekend
of
the
beach
beaches
in
South
Boston,
where
that
was
not
happening,
and
just
as
a
reminder
for
folks
on
the
beach
in
South
Boston,
those
that
go
there.
Many
people
sit
on
the
M
Street
beach
sign.
If
you
just
go
to
the
other
side
of
the
bathhouse,
there
is
about
a
mile
of
beach
that
no
one's
you,
you
go
there
and
spread
out
in
physical
social
distance
and
really
be
safe
and
keep
yourself
safe.
A
Quite
honestly,
with
this
in
mind,
I
have
some
new
updates
announcements
about
what
it's
available
moving
forward
starting
tomorrow
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Two
outdoor
swimming
pools
will
be
open
to
the
public.
They
are
the
clarity
pool
in
Charlestown
and
the
Mirabella
pool
in
the
North
End,
both
operated
by
Boston
Center
fees
and
families.
A
Right
now,
the
16
indoor
pools
at
the
BCF
centers
are
open
only
for
youth
in
summer
programs,
but
we
want
to
have
outdoor
pools
available
as
an
opportunity
for
cooling
off
and
getting
exercise,
as
this
summer
continues
on
due
to
cove
at
19.
There
are
new
protocols
in
place.
Pool
capacity
will
be
40%
of
normal
capacity
that
translates
to
about
75.
People
are
fewer
at
a
time
in
the
pool,
there'll
be
no
walk-up
admissions.
A
You
have
to
register
for
a
time
slot
at
Boston,
gov
/bc
YF
summer,
that's
Boston,
gov,
/,
b,
cy,
f,
/
/
summer
registrations
will
go,
live
24
hours
before
the
following
day
session,
so
you're
able
to
go
and
reserve
a
space
for
you
and
your
family
registration
is
open
today
for
tomorrow
slots.
So
that's
an
example.
A
We
allow
three
children
under
12
or
allowed
per
adults
when
you
register
for
a
session
you'll
be
asked
for
a
kovat
you'll,
be
asked
to
Cova
19
screening
questions
you'll
be
asked
again
when
you
arrive
at
the
pool,
so
you'll
be
screened
online
and
then
you'll
be
screened
in
person.
When
you
show
up
arrive,
we're
asking
people
to
arrive
dressed
to
swim,
because
locker
rooms
and
changing
areas
are
closed.
A
Restrooms
will
be
accessible,
however,
we're
asking
you
you
have
to
wear
a
face
covering
at
all
times,
except
when
you're
in
the
water
and
we're
asking
people
to
keep
the
six
six
feet
of
distance
between
household
groups.
Again,
it's
about
keeping
you
safe
as
you
get
to
the
pool,
cleaning
and
disinfecting
will
be
done
at
opening
at
the
opening
and
closing
time
and
between
each
swim
session
and
our
pools.
A
lot
of
hard
work
has
gone
into
opening
our
pool
safely,
and
we
ask
for
everyone's
cooperation
to
make
this
plan
a
success.
A
A
So
far,
over
700
young
people
have
been
registered
for
the
BC
YF
program,
in
addition
to
nearly
500
in
our
virtual
teen
program,
they're
still
open
slot,
so
you
can
register
your
child
at
B
that
Boston
gov
/b
CYF
summer
I
can
also
give
an
update
on
a
healthy
Street
initiative.
This
is
the
work
that
we
are
doing
using
creative
strategies
to
make
public
spaces
public
safe
spaces
safer
during
this
pandemic
and
accelerating
our
long
term
goals
in
a
safe
and
healthy
and
transportation.
A
I'm
announcing
that
Trent
Trent
temporary
bike
lanes
in
several
downtown
and
Back
Bay
locations
of
being
completed
today.
These
streets
are
connect,
connect,
neighborhood
routes
to
downtown
job
centers,
so
we're
working
as
we
connect
through
the
different
neighborhoods
to
connect
to
downtown
Boston.
We
want
to
make
the
commute
for
commuters,
safer
and
easier.
In
addition,
a
temporary
lane
reduction
and
bike
lane
will
be
installed.
A
Friday
on
Cummings
Highway
in
Mattapan
and
last
night
we
had
a
successful
community
meeting
on
plan
redesign
the
Columbus
Avenue
Roxbury
from
Jackson
Square
through
a
goes
to
square
down
to
Walnut
a
fat
Franklin
Park
that
builds
on
our
work
so
far.
This
summer,
which
includes
nine
extended
bus,
stops,
368
approved
outdoor
dining
locations
on
sidewalks
or
on
streets.
A
125,
temporary
food
pickup
zones,
23
temporary
food
truck
locations,
alongside
parks
throughout
the
cities
in
our
neighborhoods
now
operating
in
our
in
different
communities
in
bus
and
bike
lanes
on
Essex
Street
in
Washington
Street
in
Chinatown,
improving
commutes
from
Roxbury,
the
South
End
Chinatown
in
the
downtown.
This
is
the
work
of
many
different
partners,
including
the
Boston
Transportation
Department,
Public
Works,
the
Office
of
Economic
Development
and,
most
importantly,
our
local
community
and
small
businesses
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
made
this
possible
moving
forward.
A
We're
also
working
to
make
sure
that
our
public
spaces
are
accessible
and
accommodating
to
all
our
residents
and
visitors
who
come
into
the
city.
That's
the
goal
of
our
healthy
Street
program.
Already,
we've
distributed
25
mobility
ramps
to
restaurants,
for
outdoor
dining,
with
150
more
on
the
way
and,
as
you
might
be
able
to
hear
in
front
of
me
over
not
right
now,
it's
quiet
but
last
couple
press
conferences,
we're
working
to
redesign
City
Hall,
plaza
to
make
Boston's
front
yard
accessible
and
inclusive
for
all.
This
is
a
significant
time
to
be
doing
this
work.
A
This
week
marks
the
30th
anniversary
of
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act
in
recognition
of
this
milestone
tomorrow,
Wednesday
at
1
o'clock
we'll
be
holding
a
virtual
rally.
It's
co-hosted
by
Boston
Center
for
Independent
Living
and
our
Commission
on
persons
with
disabilities
led
by
our
Commissioner
Kristen
McConnell.
We
re
celebrate
every
year
right
here,
a
DA
day.
A
It's
profoundly
important
piece
of
legislation
in
the
history
of
our
nation,
but,
as
we
all
know,
this
year
is
different
different
for
a
lot
of
things
and
certainly
different
for
that
recognition.
It's
not
only
is
the
event
being
held
virtually.
We
also
have
a
new
understanding
of
what
it
means
to
be
an
inclusive
and
the
work
that
we
still
have
to
do.
Collectively.
The
disabilities
Commission
is
hard
hit
by
the
pandemic.
A
We've
seen
how
disabilities
health
inequities
and
systemic
racism
work
together
to
create
deep
in
justices
to
the
quality
of
life,
basic
well-being
and
fundamental
rights.
So,
as
commissioner
manoj
has
said
this
year,
we
are
focused
on
the
progress
that
lies
ahead
more
than
looking
back
on
how
far
we've
come.
The
theme
of
our
event
is
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion.
It
focuses
on
ending
job
discrimination
and
create
increasing
access
to
public
buildings
in
permanent
housing,
things
that
we
believe
in
and
will
continue
to
invest
in
in
the
City
of
Austin.
A
You
can
go
to
Boston,
not
goth,
to
find
out
how
to
participate
in
this
virtual
celebration
tomorrow.
Unfortunately,
I
have
to
continue
to
address
the
violence
that
we're
seeing
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
had
another
tough
weekend
here
in
Boston.
Among
the
incidents
we
had
a
16
year
old
and
a
17
year
old,
lose
their
lives
to
an
act
of
gun.
Violence
in
HT
year
old
is
in
critical
condition
after
another
incident,
the
Boston
Police
Department
is
asking
the
public's
help
in
each
of
these
investigations.
A
If
you
know
any
information,
you
can
give
us
information
anonymously
in
the
city.
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
violence
of
any
kind
is
certainly
unacceptable
in
our
communities
when
young
people
are
victims.
It's
especially
devastating
I
want
our
residents
to
know
that
we're
focusing
on
resources
on
our
most
highly
impacted
communities
in
the
city
and
on
an
ongoing
basis
in
in
response
to
specific
events.
A
This
is
a
coordinated
strategy.
It
brings
together
our
Health
and
Human
Services
cabinet,
our
Office
of
Public
Safety
I
saw
Street
teams
and
workers
at
VCU
if'
in
the
neighborhood
trauma
teams
in
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission,
the
police
department,
our
schools,
as
well
as
the
Suffolk
County
District
Attorney's
Office.
Many
state
agencies
in
all
of
our
hospitals
and
countless
community
partners
like
the
Lewis,
d-bomb,
Peace,
Institute
and
roca
Boston.
A
All
of
us
and
all
of
them
organizations
are
working
around
the
clock
to
reach
young
people
and
adults
were
at
risk
and
offer
them
pathways
to
safety
into
opportunity.
I
just
want
to
note
to
parents
and
grandparents
if
you're
concerned
about
a
young
person
in
your
life,
you
can
reach
out
for
services
without
fear
of
judgment
or
punishment.
Our
neighborhood
trauma
teams
are
here
for
you,
our
Office
of
Public
Safety
is
here
for
you
neighbors
and
advocates
who
have
been
through
this
struggle
are
here
for
you.
You
can
call
3-1-1
to
get
connected.
A
We
want
nothing
more
than
to
provide
family
support
and
Youth
opportunity
to
keep
our
young
people
safe
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
want,
above
all
else
to
be
safe
and
healthy
in
a
city
for
every
single
child,
teen
and
adult
to
grow
up
in
finally,
I
want
to
address
an
issue:
that's
deeply
troubling
to
Bostonians
and
Americans
everywhere.
We've
seen
the
footage
of
unidentified
federal
officers
aggressively
detaining
protesters
in
Portland
Oregon,
we've
heard
the
president
say
he's
bringing
that
strategy
to
Chicago
into
other
cities.
A
It's
being
done
with
no
regard
for
the
rights
of
safety
of
protesters
and
appears
to
be
needlessly
escalating
situation.
Today,
I
signed
on
to
the
tanto
a
letter
with
mayor
with
mayor
wheeler
Portland
Mayor
lightfoot
of
Chicago
Mayor
baudin's
of
Atlanta
met
Gherkin
of
Seattle
met,
Lucas
of
Kansas
City
Mayor
Bowser
of
DC,
asking
the
Justice
Department
in
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
to
withdraw
these
forces
and
end
this
strategy
immediately.
A
We
were
also
sending
a
letter
to
Congress
asking
for
public
hearings
on
this
issue,
the
language
in
the
funding
in
funding
legislation
which
stock
tax
payers
dollars
being
used
for
this
purpose
in
Boston.
We
support
the
moment
for
racial
justice.
We've
built
trust
and
solidarity
with
those
who
had
demonstrated
and
in
Boston
demonstrated
with
very
few
exceptions,
have
been
peaceful.
The
people
out
marching
are
calling
for
the
most
fundamental
right
not
country
was
founded
on
and
the
Boston
Police
Department
has
has
certainly
preserved
Public
Safety,
while
protecting
the
rights
of
free
speech
and
free
movement.
A
Unfortunately,
this
seems
to
be
another
situation
where
the
president
who
doesn't
understand
or
believe
in
those
rights,
that's
an
unfortunate
situation
in
the
United
States
of
America,
but
will
continue
to
live
by
our
values
of
inclusion
and
respect
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
I
will
stand
with
my
colleagues
around
the
country.
I
have
one
question
that
was
pre
submitted,
then
I'll
open
up
for
questions
to
the
press.
The
question
the
first
question
I
have
is
from
Adam
Reilly
at
WGBH.
A
What
specific,
kovat
metrics
would
cause
you
to
pause
the
city's
reopening
or
even
roll
it
back.
I
just
want
to
first
say
we're
monitoring
a
range
of
metrics
every
day
and
certainly
ready
to
make
adjustments
of
the
details,
call
for
it
with
that
I'm
gonna
ask
chief
mighty
mightiness
to
come
up
and
just
talk
a
little
more
deeper
about
the
answer.
It's
that
question.
B
Thank
you,
Mir
yeah,
absolutely
we're
we're
monitoring
our
positive
test
rate,
not
only
a
seven-day
average,
but
looking
at
three-day
averages
to
understand
what
we're
seeing
we're
monitoring
hospitalizations,
both
in
the
ICU,
but
also
regular
hospitalizations
themselves,
and
we're
also
monitoring
the
overall
case
numbers.
So
what
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that,
in
the
city
of
Boston,
we
have
the
ability
to
test,
trace
and
support
those
who
need
it,
so
we
can
contain
the
spread
of
the
virus
and
at
any
moment,
when
we
start
to
see
these
trends
rise,
we'll
make
sure
to
that.
A
You
know
the
question
is
about
pools
about
opening
them
up
in
what
took
so
long
to
open
them
up
we're
basically
following
the
guidelines
of
the
state
in
the
phase
reopening,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we,
you
know
it
would
have
been
great
to
have
them
open
last
week,
but
unfortunately,
we
weren't
ready
for
that.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
all
of
the
proper
protocol
is
put
in
place
as
we're
moving
forward.
It's
a
timing
issue.
We
didn't
want
to
rush
opening
the
pools
and
not
have
all
the
protocol
put
in
place.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
The
question
is
on:
where
do
we
stand
on
opening
schools
and,
what's
gonna
be
the
protocol
in
place?
The
state
has
asked
us
to
prepare
three
plans
to
present
the
density
by
the
end
of
July
three
options.
One
is
all
in
all.
Students
in
buildings,
I
think
that
that
would
be
very
that
probably
a
stretch
at
this
point
to
start
school
with
everyone
in
input
in
school.
A
The
second
option-
and
not
in
this
order-
necessarily
all
remote
learning
and
that's
going
to
be
based
on
data
and
how
we
look
at
how
we
move
forward
with
that
and
the
third
option
is
is-
is-
is
a
blended
model
of
online
learning
and
in
school
learning.
The
superintendent
I
believe
tomorrow
is
going
to
try
and
present
something
to
the
school
committee
to
begin
the
conversation
and
then
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
be
talking
to
the
stakeholders
to
feel
hiding
before
we've
done
some
analysis.
What
parents
want.
A
Many
parents
want
the
kids
back
in
school,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
if
with
if
and
when
kids
go
back
into
school,
they
go
into
a
safe
environment.
We
want
to
take
into
account
our
teachers,
our
custodians,
our
food
service,
folks,
so
I
think
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
weeks,
we're
going
to
many
conversations
to
talk
about
how
we
would
reopen
school,
potentially
in
a
blended
model
safely.
A
Yeah
the
comment
was
for
use
at
home.
Was
that
there's
a
study
by
a
Harvard
professor
about
the
need
for
that?
There
are
some
kids
throughout
the
country
quite
honestly,
that
have
not
been
in
contact
or
have
not
been
in
a
zoom
classroom
for
what
will
be
September
10
six
months
and
the
concern
of
being
out
of
school.
A
That
long
I
share
those
concerns
and
I
think
that
if
there's
a
way
for
us
to
open
in
a
blended
way
safely,
I
think
that
that's
the
preferred
route
where
we
go
I
think
that,
as
we
look
at
the
trends
here
in
Boston
over
the
last
three
weeks,
we're
trending
in
the
right
direction.
If
you
will.
But
again,
we
have
to
continue
that
trend
in
to
my
earlier
point,
as
long
as
we
can
drink
continue
to
trend
on
the
downward
manner.
That's
great!
A
But
if
we,
if
we
do
what
happened
last
weekend
in
Southie
with
thousands
of
people
on
the
beach,
not
physical,
social,
distancing.
Well,
that
could
set
us
back.
If
we,
if
we
don't
wear
masks-
and
we
don't
do-
we
have
to
do
on
a
daily
basis
that
can
set
us
back.
So
it
really
is
it's
incumbent
upon
all
of
us
to
keep
the
spread
of
the
virus
down
and
the
ramifications
for
whether
its
restaurants
or
office
buildings
school.
All
of
those
things
are
incoming
upon
all
of
us
to
do.
A
We
have
to
do
on
a
daily
basis,
literally
daily,
based
I.
Think
most
people
have
it
down.
I
mean
we've
done
this
press
conference
now
for
four
months,
and
everyone
has
the
mask
you've
had
it
for
four
months
you
put
the
mask
on
in
physical
distancing
every
one
six
weeks
six
feet
apart,
we
haven't
I,
haven't
seen
anyone
in
this
press
conference
ever
let
their
guard
down
and
be
together,
I
mean
so
we
just
need
to
continue
to
do
that.
Work.
A
So
the
question
is:
is
the
violence
in
the
reduction
in
overtime,
and
am
I
concerned
about
that
as
of
right
now,
I'm,
not
I,
think
that
you
know
we're
still
in
the
in
the
beginning
phase
of
the
fiscal
school
year.
That
means
fiscal
budget
year
I
should
say
my
concern
would
be
as
if
we
had
if
the
violence
continued
for
an
entire
year,
where
we
had
to
put
on
additional
resources
where
we've
made
a
commitment
to
cut
wrongly
and
dollars
out
of
overtime.
That
puts
us
in
a
whole
different
place.
A
The
the
increase
in
violence
is
nothing
there's
no
correlation
today
to
the
increase
in
violence
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
the
reduction
in
in
in
the
in
the
old
police
overtime,
but
as
we
continue
to
move
forward,
if
we
see
hotspots
continue
to
stay
consistent
throughout
throughout
the
summer
into
the
fall
into
the
winter,
then
we're
going
to
have
very
different
conversations
at
that
point.
I'll
come
back
and
talk
to
the
people
of
Boston
about
the
need
for
increased
investment
in
our
policing.
A
I
think
that
I
was
on
a
call
earlier
today
with
elected
officials,
Boston
elected
officials,
Senate
members,
House
members
in
city,
members
of
City
Council,
talking
about
the
need
for
us
to
be
a
little
more
proactive
in
our
communities
and
being
out
there.
As
best
we
can
I
mean
what
the
real
the
real
in
honesty
what's
happening
here
is.
Kovat
is
still
very
much
here,
so
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
the
piece
walks
like
we
have
in
the
past.
A
We
haven't
been
able
to
get
some
of
these
nonprofit
partners
up
cooperating
in
the
full
way
that
they
have.
We
haven't
been
able
to
get
our
staff
out
in
the
street,
so
the
kovat
is
still
here
so
there's
been
some
concerns
on
that
as
well,
and
some
people
quite
honestly
have
been
locked
down
in
their
homes
and
their
neighborhoods
for
so
long
that
we
don't
have
other
places
open.
A
It's
a
great
question:
the
question
is:
can
the
city
do
more
to
prevent
this
violence,
and
you
know
I,
think
that
you
know
there's
the
the
city
is
it
we
have
to
look
at
our
strategies?
India's
past?
What's
happened
in
situations
like
what
we're
experiencing
right
now
is
we've
been
able
to
come
together
and
really
target
neighborhoods
and
with
programming
and
helping
us
get
out
of
the
different
situations
were
in
and
in
the
covert
world,
we're
in
a
whole
different
place
and
again
I.
Think
I.
A
Think
some
of
the
issues
are
deeper
than
what
we
think
they
are.
We
just
have
to
continue
to
be
diligent
on
a
day
at
a
time
working
on
getting
councillors
out
there,
Street
Street
workers
out
there
programming
out
there
opportunity
out
there.
Some
of
our
reentry
programs
have
not
been
working
at
full
capacity.
Dudek
ovid
we're
up
and
running
now,
full
capacity.
So
over
the
last
several
weeks,
we've
we've
amplified
a
lot
of
our
programs
that
get
them
up
and
running
in
a
full
capacity.
A
A
I
mean
people
aren't
working.
You
know
some
folks
were
released
out
of
prison.
We
didn't
have
the
wraparound
services
when
they
got
out
that
we
really
needed
to
that.
We've
had
over
the
last
several
years,
our
office
of
reentry,
working
with
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
things
like
that.
A
lot
of
a
lot
of
opera,
a
lot
of
our
jobs,
have
been
shut
down.
So
you
know,
we've
been
able
to
get
people
into
trades
and
other
jobs
that
quite
honestly,
weren't
up
to
full
capacity
till
recently.
A
C
A
I'm
not
at
all
and
I
think
honestly
operations
say
this
and
get
myself
in
trouble.
I
think
it's
a
political
ploy
by
the
President
and
I
think
that
you
know
if,
if
this
assistance
needed
in
any
stretch
of
the
imagination,
use
Boston
as
an
example,
the
nights
of
the
protests,
you
know
the
National
Guard
reached
out-
we
worked
out.
They
were
here
for
for
about
five
days
and
they
left
and
they
were
assisting
us
in
making
sure
that
people
had
an
opportunity
to
demonstrate
safely.
A
That
was
the
first
time
since
I've
Amer,
that's
had
to
happen.
I
think
that
in
these
cities
now
I
have
not
spoken
to
me
a
wheel
or
Portland,
but
I
did
listen
to
him
an
interview
last
night.
He
did
not
ask
for
this
assistance.
He
then
on
help.
He
was
talking
about
50
days
of
protests
are
happening
in
his
city.
A
A
I
mentioned
I
mean
these
mayors
that
signed
on
to
this
briefing
and
by
then
the
dad's
army
a
lot
more
they're,
very
good,
strong
mayors,
and
they
understand
how
to
run
their
cities,
and
they
know
how
they
know
what
to
do.
What
not
to
do
and
there's
a
time
when
people
want
to
come
and
demonstrate.
The
last
thing
you
want
to
do
is
confront
them
and
say
because
people
are
demonstrating
their
emotion,
they're,
demonstrating
whatever
they're
demonstrating
in
this
particular
case.
A
The
question
is:
do
I
support
qualified
immunity
and
you
qualify
immunity
and
the
second
thing
is
the
having
DA's
office
instead
of
doing
the
police
involved.
Shooting
should
the
AG
happen,
I
think
on
the
qualified
immunity,
I
don't
support
as
written
in
the
Senate
bill
and
I
think
there
has
to
be
more
in
conversation
around
what
that
means,
because
that
the
unintended
consequences
of
qualified
immunity
was
that
it
can't
be
captured
a
lot
of
public
employees
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
be
very
careful.
A
There
I
think
the
house
I'm
off
the
house,
had
a
different
version,
but
I
think
that
that's
a
slippery
slope
and
I
think
that's
the
dangerous
slope
to
go
down
and
I
think
that
there
has
to
be
a
better
conversation
going
on
with
it.
As
far
as
the
AG
suffer
and
support
doing
the
work
of
the
DA.
That's
a
question.
I've
asked
the
district
attorney.
I
mean
I,
know
that
I've
had
that
conversation
with
TA
Rawlings
in
Boston
I
think
that
her
operas
relate
to
continue
to
investigate
police
involved,
shootings.
A
A
They
think,
let
me
let
me
just
show
up
in
a
little
bit
one
of
the
one
of
the
issues
that
we
have
with
with
the
case
there.
The
housing,
the
United
States
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
is
responding
to
any
discrimination.
We
are
governed.
This
is
the
Boston
Housing
Authority.
We
are
governed
by
the
federal
law
and
federal
laws.
A
C
C
A
Let
me
just
jump
in
here
and,
as
I
said
that
a
minute
ago,
that's
one
of
the
one
of
the
concerns
not
concerns,
but
that's
one
of
the
issues
that
we
have
is
that
we're
governed
by
HUD
on
the
national
level.
But
if
you
get
the
information
Fernando,
you
got
his
card
the
other
day.
Getting
the
information.
He'll
get
it
to
me
all
right.
Thanks
everybody
just
get
get
us
the
information
you
have
to
Fernando.
