Description
Mayor Walsh hosts a media availability to discuss updates relating to COVID-19.
A
Thank
you
thank
everyone,
and
it's
always
someone
thank
the
press
for
being
here
today.
Yeah
we're
gonna.
Do
some
social
distancing
here
today.
I
want
to
repeat
my
message
from
last
night:
city
government
and
all
of
our
partners
are
working
around
the
clock
to
prepare
our
city
to
support
vulnerable
populations
here
in
Boston
to
provide
accurate,
up-to-date
information
to
all
our
residents,
and
every
single
person
has
a
role
to
play.
A
We're
asking
people
stay
home
if
possible,
practice
social,
distancing
at
least
six
feet
apart,
wash
your
hands
with
soap
and
warm
to
hot
water
as
well
as
hand
sanitizer
throughout
the
day.
If
you
can
do
that,
we
want
you
to
cover
your
mouth
when
you
cough
or
your
sneeze,
we
want
people
if
you're
feeling
sick,
please
isolate
yourself,
I'm
staying
home,
call
your
health
care
provider
or,
if
you
can't
get
through
you,
don't
have
one
you
can
call
3-1-1
and
we
will.
A
We
will
have
the
mayor's
helpline
to
kind
of
give
you
a
briefing
on
the
steps
you
take,
we're
asking
people
not
to
go
directly
to
the
emergency
room
or
doctors
offices.
You
should
call
before
you
go
just
so
they
can
assess
you
over
the
phone
as
we
move
forward.
We're
asking
people
to
take
extreme
caution.
Precautions,
assuming
particularly
around
seniors,
are
many
medically
vulnerable
people
because
they
are
vulnerable
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
them
safe.
A
So
if
you're,
if
you
have
a
parent
or
an
elder
or
somebody
a
neighbor
that
you
want
to
help
and
you
want,
they
need
something
at
the
store
you
can
pick
it
up,
drop
it
at
the
door
for
them
and
aloud.
Let
them
know
that
it's
there
for
them,
for
those
people
feeling
stress
I,
encourage
you
to
focus
on
the
contributions
that
you
can
make,
including
social
distancing.
A
Also,
one
thing
that
was
told
to
me
yesterday,
I
was
asked:
am
I
eating
which
I
hadn't
hadn't
done
and
when
I
was
I
drinking
water?
So
it's
suggesting
to
people
drink
water,
make
sure
you
drink
water,
stay
hydrated.
Those
are
things
I
haven't
heard,
but
when
I
did
it,
you
feel
better
feel
better
about
it.
So
those
are
little
things
that
people
can
do.
I,
encourage
you
to
share
messages
of
comfort
and
support
to
each
other
touch
base
by
a
phone
call
text
to
somebody
something
that's
really
important.
We
can
do.
A
Everyone
definitely
has
a
clear
purpose
in
the
effort
that
we're
going
through
to
update
you
today,
and
these
are
numbers.
As
of
yesterday.
We
have
45
cases
positive
case
of
coronavirus
in
Boston.
We
expect
more
state
updating
numbers
later
today,
as
the
day
goes
on
and
in
the
state
it
was
218
people
we're
in
constant
communication
with
hospitals
and
we're
working
with
state
and
federal
the
government's
and
advocates
for
supplies
and
services.
A
A
Social
distancing
is
a
must
and,
as
we've
seen,
businesses
shut
down
and
working
from
home,
the
more
we
can
do
that
the
more
we
can
potentially
prevent
the
spread
wide
spread
of
the
virus
and
something
that
we
wanted
to
continue
to
say
some
updates
on
our
work
here
at
City
Hall,
as
you
all
know,
but
just
to
reiterate,
schools,
libraries
pools
gyms
community
centers.
All
programming
remains
closed.
If
you
want
up-to-date
information,
you
can
go
to
the
boss
city
of
Boston
cough
website
for
any
information.
A
You
want
I
mentioned
last
night
that
there's
book
Chromebooks
and
in
movies
and
things
available
at
the
Boston
Public
Library.
You
can
go
to
BPL
org
to
find
online
resources
that
we
have
city
hall
services.
The
city
has
18,000
employees
that
provide
critical
service
to
the
people
of
Boston.
Some
of
those
services
include
regularly
in
services
necessary
for
residents
to
stay
safe
and
healthy
and
city
functioning
at
a
basic
level
like
Public,
Safety
and
trash
pickup.
A
So
we're
going
to
keep
the
city
moving
in
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
so
make
sure
we
continue
to
do
the
basic,
crucial
cities.
Services
are
available.
Emergency
services-
people
read
read,
need
right
now
in
crisis
like
food
access
and
senior
outreach.
Our
age
drug
Commission
continues
to
do
that.
Employees
this
week
with
the
gun,
having
informing
departments
about
who
should
be
working
from
home
and
many
are
doing
so
now
and
by
the
end
of
today
or
tomorrow,
everyone
will
know
who
can
be
working
from
home.
A
Some
of
those
folks
that
are
working
from
home.
We
might
need
to
deploy
the
mountains,
the
city
to
do
something,
but
we're
working
through
this.
As
we
speak
right
now,
we've
put
plans
in
place
for
staggered
hours.
For
some
who
must
maintain
critical
operations.
I
was
walking
around
the
building
today,
some
of
those
windows
that
we
have
downstairs
that
do
birth
certificates
in
tax
collections.
Things
like
that
and
I
think
the
folks
that
working
there
I'm
asking
people
to
be
patient
with
them
as
much
online.
You
can
do
as
possible.
A
If
you
have
any
questions,
you
can
call
3-1-1
and
we
can
let
you
know
what
services
are
available
online.
So
as
much
as
possible,
we
will
do
as
long
online
service
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Our
goal
is
to
practice
social
distancing.
We
have
extra
cleaning
going
on
at
City
Hall
in
all
of
our
buildings
throughout
the
city
and
all
of
our
city
operations.
A
Maintenance
is
a
critical
operation
and
maintaining
critical.
Maintaining
operations
is
critical.
Public
health
and
public
safety,
trash
and
recycling,
as
I
mentioned
last
night,
I
think
I
might
have
made
a
little
bit
of
a
mistake
but
I'm
going
to
clarify
it
right
now
street
cleaning.
We
would
not
be
ticketing
or
trolling
for
street
cleaning
purposes.
So
as
we
go
around,
and
that
was
a
question-
that's
gonna
be
a
stick.
It's
already,
as
we
go
around
the
city
with
street
cleaning
sites,
they
believe
next
week.
So
you're
gonna
see
street
cleaners
out
there.
A
Obviously
they're
not
going
to
get
to
the
curb,
because
a
lot
of
cars
are
home,
but
we're
gonna
do
our
best
to
keep
the
street
clean
parking,
we're
going
to
continue
to
clean
parks
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
service
our
food
access
and
our
children
for
our
children
and
families.
Our
election
Department
remains
open.
It's
a
function,
that's
important
for
us
to
move
forward.
A
procurement
Department
remains
open.
We
have
essential
and
emergency
supports
for
our
seniors,
for
our
veterans
for
immigrant
communities,
file,
homeless,
homeless,
community
and
for
our
children.
A
City
Hall
remains
open,
but
we
discourage
anyone
from
coming
unless
they
have
urgent
need
for
services.
That
cannot
be
done
online,
so
we're
asking
people
if
you
potentially
could
do
that.
I
would
truly
appreciate
that
for
families
and
children
and
we
started
yesterday,
free
meals
are
available
for
families
every
weekday
morning
from
8:30
to
11:30
at
sites
across
the
city.
Those
VPS
students
that
were
sent
home
have
the
information,
but
any
family
members.
Looking
for
information,
you
can
go
to
the
city,
the
the
website
at
Boston
gov,
to
see
where
the
maps
were
yesterday.
A
A
So
thank
you
for
doing
that
and
in
the
papers
for
seniors
our
age
strong,
Commission
is
reaching
out
to
through
every
available
channel
through
our
buildings,
service
providers,
phone
calls
in
multiple
languages,
we're
working
to
continue
in-home
service
that
many
seniors
rely
on,
including
groceries
and
meals,
on
wheels,
nursing
homes
and
assisted
living
facilities,
and
not
allowing
visitors.
It's
important
that
we
adhere
to
that.
A
You
know
some
people
I
know
I'm,
hearing
that
a
concern
that
came
going
to
see
their
parents
or
their
loved
one,
but
really
it's
for
the
safety
of
their
parent
or
loved
one,
that
these
rules
are
put
in
place
and
it's
important
that
anyone
who
is
interacting
with
a
senior
or
somebody
that
sick
take
precautions.
We
can't
stress
enough
washing
with
soap
and
warm
water,
sanitizing
disinfecting,
not
just
work
areas
but
doorknobs
and
in
areas
that
the
public
touches
and
keeping
a
distance
is
really
important.
A
We're
also
hearing
concerns
about
food
accents
most
of
the
food
pantry
sites.
Seniors
use
are
still
up
in
money
using
a
grab-and-go
package,
where
the
special
precautions
around
social,
distancing
and
cleaning
so
as
our
food
pantries
are
seeing
an
increase
in
people
using
them
they're
going
to
be
putting
in
different
types
of
rules.
So
we
don't
have
too
many
people
in
a
certain
space
and
again
that's
another
I'm
asking
people
again
to
be
patient
and
as
we're
seeing
our
world
literally
change
in
front
of
us.
A
If
seniors
have
an
issue
with
food
access,
we
want
you
to
please
reach
out
to
3-1-1.
Many
seniors.
Have
the
contact
directly
for
our
eight
strong
Commission
or
reach
out
directly
to
aged
strong
Commission,
those
of
you
that
might
be
listening
and
not
sure
what
age
strong
Commission
is
our
age?
Strong
Commission
is
our
office
for
older
Bostonians.
So
if
you
have
not
been
connected
there
and
you
call
that
office
is
specifically
there
for
you,
so
we
want
you
to
access
that
office
and
use
that
office.
A
If
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns,
as
I
said
the
best
number,
if
you're
looking
for
a
question
or
concern,
3-1-1
we've
put
on
extra
call
takers,
so
we're
gonna
be
able
to
handle
the
volume.
There
was
yesterday
a
little
different
service
in
the
morning
to
early
afternoon
because
of
the
volume
of
calls
around
construction
and
since
that
time,
we've
gotten
the
clearer
guidelines
around
construction
out.
A
So
people
understand
it
today
when
we
announced
it
the
day
before
I,
don't
think
we
got
the
information
out
quick
enough
in
a
very
clear
manner,
so
we
took
care
of
that
yesterday,
so
we're
seeing
calls
go
down.
I'm
also
joined
by
several
several
city
councilors
that
are
here
for
the
public.
You
know
a
lot
of
you
have
relationships,
what
you
see
counselor
and
you
stay
representatives.
A
Please
feel
free
to
contact
them
as
well,
because
we're
all
we're
in
this
together
and
we're
working
together,
which
it's
all
the
same
information
that
we're
gonna
get
to
you
so
do
not
hesitate
on.
In
that
particular
case
for
people
experiencing
homelessness,
city
agencies,
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission,
and
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
are
working
with
our
partners,
our
partners
at
Boston's
health
care
for
the
homeless,
Pine
Street
in
Boston,
Medical,
Center,
st.
Francis,
House
and
many
other
homeless
organizations.
In
our
city.
A
We
are
working
to
make
sure
that
people
experiencing
homelessness
are
supported
and
that
they're
kept
safe.
There
are
no
plans
to
close
our
shelters,
but
we
are
putting
in
place
special
measures
to
prevent
the
virus
from
spreading
we're
going
to
continue
to
operate
our
emergency
shelter
system
safely
in
care
for
those
needing
observation,
quarantine
or
more
serious
levels
of
care
in
additional
supports
that
are
needed
if
needed.
The
city
is
fine,
finalizing
and
comprehensive
plan
for
people
experiencing
homelessness.
A
If
we,
in
the
in
the
event
that
we
have
to
separate
our
homeless
population
in
the
city,
we're
in
constant
connection
with
other
shelters
in
the
city
and
other
street
outreach
staff,
ensuring
everyone
has
the
latest
development,
the
guidance
on
the
Cova
19.
So
we
want
it.
We're
gonna
work
with
other
people
staff
as
well
to
make
sure
they
have
the
most
up-to-date
information,
as
I
mentioned
all
the
time.
The
other
day,
the
few
days
before
this,
this
coronavirus
came
to
Boston.
A
We
might
have
been
acting
as
individual
as
separate
entities
and
today,
we're
all
one
so
there's
no
build
no
lines,
we're
working
together
as
one
cohesive
group
to
make
sure
that
the
people
of
Boston
and
what
whoever
they
are,
whatever
their,
whatever
their
whatever,
wherever
their
their
concerns
out
we're
working
together,
I
also
want
to
add.
Over
the
last
five
years,
we've
transformed
the
Boston
system
for
serving
and
housing
homelessness
will
house
over
2,200
chronic
and
almost
people
that
work
and
those
relationships
are
paying
off
now
for
our
ability
to
respond
to
this
crisis.
A
If
we
didn't
have
a
system
in
place
that
we
put
in
five
years
ago,
we
would
have
thousands
of
more
people
on
the
streets
of
Austin
and
because
of
that,
we
were
able
to
to
mitigate
a
little
bit.
Some
of
the
potential
concern
public
transit.
We
are
discovering
public
transit
for
social
distancing
reasons,
but
we
understand
that
some
people
rely
on
it.
This
city
is
in
regular
communication
with
the
MBTA
and
they're
late
in
their
latest
update.
Most
of
the
systems
are
operating
on
a
Saturday
service
level.
A
The
MBTA
did
add
back
additional
capacity
today,
including
Uihlein
and
blue
and
higher
frequency
bus
roads.
So
the
experience
yesterday
when
they
went
to
this
Saturday
schedule,
they
saw
a
lot
of
people
taking
these
taken
the
buses
and
trains.
So
what
they
able
to
do
is
that
additional
capacity
today
to
alleviate
some
of
those
concerns,
they've
increased
their
cleaning
schedule
and
for
full
details
on
the
MBTA.

A
It's

underscore
mayor.
Please
make
sure
do
not
trust
rumors.
If
the
information
that
the
press
is
the
most
accurate
information
information
that
myself
or
other
elected
officials
and
the
governor
that
are
giving
is
the
most
up-to-date,
accurate
information
that
we
have
at
that
particular
moment,
so
make
sure
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
rumors
about
sheltering
in
place
and
all
the
different
things
there
is
no
shelter
in
place
order.
There's
no
current
plan
to
issue
such
an
order
on
any
particular
date.
A
As
I
said,
I
remain
in
constant
contact
with
the
governor
and
state
officials,
and
other
mayor's
I
was
on
two
phone
calls
today:
what
man's
from
across
Massachusetts
that
were
talking
about
situations
and
how
we
move
forward.
So
obviously,
if
situations
change,
we
will
update
the
public
and
let
everyone
know,
but
it's
really
important,
that
that
that's
kind
of
gone
room
it
a
few
times
a
day
and
that's
as
of
right.
Now.
That
is
not
a
situation
that
I
think
we
can
talk
about.
With
that,
I
will
open
up
to
questions.
A
Yeah
I
had
a
conversation
this
morning
with
some
medical
folks
and
that's
one
of
the
issues
we
talked
about
and
we're
gonna
try
and
assist
it
in
ways.
They
have
different
ideas
and
they're
not
sure
what
the
idea
the
best
idea
is
yet
the
Boston,
the
resiliency
fund,
Boston
that
we
set
up
is
about
creating
opportunities
for
child
care
for
some
of
the
some
of
our
first
responders
and
our
medical
people.
That
does
not
take
care
of
the
issue
of
traveling
back
and
forth,
but
I'm
not
ready
or
not
anything
yet,
but
we
are.
A
Don't
think
anyone
has
the
answer,
so
let
me
repeat
the
question
I
was
asked
to
do
the
SSA
apologize,
the
mayor
of
New
York
is
offering
is
suggesting
a
potential
shelter
in
place
and
governor
in
myself,
and
other
elected
officials
in
Massachusetts
have
not
suggested
that
yet
I
don't
think
it's
a
question
how
bad
it
gets.
I
think
it's
a
question
of
of.
When
is
the
right
time
if
it
has
to
be
done
and
I
think
that
there's
there's
a
lot
that
has
to
come
into
play
there.
A
New
York
has
clearly
over
the
last
couple
of
days,
I've
watched
a
numbers
spike
or
positives
of
coronavirus
and
we're
monitoring
numbers
I,
don't
think
it
did.
There's
no
there's,
no
real,
there's
no
real
plan
on
when
you
announce
something
like
that
and
I
think
it's.
What
we're
doing
now
is
practicing
social
distancing
is
trying
to
prevent
the
spread
of
the
virus.
I'm,
not
saying
that
that
would
never
be
a
potential
option.
I
think
it
could
be
very
realistic
that
it's
going
to
be
an
option
to
me
was
seeing
what's
happening
in
in
Italy.
A
I
was
seeing
what's
happening
in
the
Bay
Area,
we're
seeing
what's
happening
in
in
other
places
and
there's
different
versions
of
this
and
I
think
you
know
it's
not
even
about
conversation,
it's
about
watching
the
data
where
the
curve
isn't
where
we're
going.
So
I
think
that
I'm,
you
know
I
could
we
could
be
standing
in
for
hours
and
having
a
very
different
conversation,
literally
that's
what
seems
to
have
been
happening
lately
with
this
I'll
come
back
to
you,
a.
A
A
I
think
that
I
met
with
my
office
of
Public
Safety
today,
aside
from
the
police
department-
and
we
had
a-
we
had
a
long
conversation
about
how
do
we
make
sure
that
people
are
getting
the
services
they
need
and
making
sure
that
people
are
being
taken
care
of?
If
we
don't
see
an
increase
in
crime,
there's
no
need
for
us.
B
A
A
That's
going
on
here
every
day,
I
think
that
you
know
we
just
we're
going
to
lose
a
day
at
a
time
we're
off
these
obviously
planning
for
the
future,
and
certainly
that's
we've
been
doing
at
City
Hall
putting
and
putting
what
I
talked
about
the
homeless
situation.
I
mean
we
don't
have
a
positive
case.
You
know
with
our
homeless
community
right
now,
but
in
the
event
we
do
have
a
positive.
We
have
a
plan.
We
have
a
situation
with
our
senior
citizens
that
we
haven't.
A
We
haven't
really
seen
large
outbreaks
and
in
different
places
like
they
did,
maybe
in
Seattle
with
some
of
the
assisted
living
facilities.
We
don't
have
it.
We
have
a
plan
and
if
something
like
that
were
to
happen,
we
would
have
to
think
about
how
we
move
forward.
We're
working
right
now
with
with
different
hospitals
and
looking
working
on
capacity
and
working
on
those
issues.
Listen.
Inevitably
there
could
be
possibly
a
reason
for
shelter
in
place,
but
I
think
right
now.
A
We
will
monitoring
this
literally
hour
by
hour
to
see
where
we
are
in
that
particular
situation
and
I.
Think
when
that
comes
that's
a
very
serious
step
that
would
have
to
take,
and
it's
something
that
I
think
that
we
none
of
us
should
take
lightly
and
I
think
we
also
should
be
aggressive
in
the
fact
that
if
we
think
it
can
make
a
big
difference
in
the
spread
or
stop
the
corona
virus
and
his
tracks,
that's
something
that
that
I
would
I
would
push
for
and
possibly.
C
A
Yeah
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
nowhere
what's
going
on
there,
but
I
think
that
I
would
suggest
the
people
first
and
foremost,
if
there's
anything
that
can
be
done
online
I'd
suggest
you
do
that.
A
lot
of
people
I'm
not
sure
what
the
rules
and
regulations
are
about
expired
licenses
and
I'm.
Assuming
that's
what
it
is.
So
that's
a
good
thing
to
do
that.
I
think
people
get
need
to
get
the
information
onto
people.
We've
I've
heard
in
different
places
around
some
food
food
pantries
that
are
experiencing
lines
and
things
like
that
so
I've
suggested.
A
Is
there
a
way
for
us
to
set
up
like
a
call
time?
I
mean
meaning
a
certain
time
to
pick
up.
These
are
time
to
do
certain
things.
Maybe
let
the
seniors
come
in
the
morning,
so
I
think
as
we
move
forward
here
over
the
coming
days,
we're
going
to
see
more
and
more
of
that
in
certain
places,
but
I'm
not
fully
aware
of
that
situation
with
the
with
the
registry
mode
of
April.
A
It's
the
right
thing
to
do:
I
mean
we,
don't
necessarily
have
big
penalties
right
now.
We're
expecting
listen,
I,
don't
I!
I
would
hope
that
we
don't
have
the
penalties
to
tell
people
to
be
smart
to
protect
himself
against
the
spread
of
the
corona
virus
and
I.
Think
I
can
right,
but
you
and
I
think
that
if
we
have
to
put
penalties
for
that,
there's
something
wrong
with
society.
D
E
So
I'm
in
constant
communication
with
this
state
around
the
family
shelters,
they
have
a
lab,
not
allowed,
but
they
have
encouraged
folks
that
have
places
to
go
to
go
with
family
members
and
that
has
freed
up
space
so
they're
in
every
family
shelter.
They
are
making
space
available
where
people
can
isolate
or
quarantine.
So
so
far
it
seems
to
be
working
in
a
good
plan.
A
It's
complicated
and
that's
partly
what
we're
doing
we're
building
two
tents
right
now
behind
one
12,
salty
at
ministry
and
that's
gonna,
allow
us
to
do
some
more
social
distance
in
there.
So
we're
still
in
the
front
I
mean
it.
You
know
we've
been
moving
fast,
but
it's
not
just
simply
building
a
tent.
It's
about
making
sure
we
have
running
water,
making
sure
we
have
the
ability
to
serve
food
and
things
like
that.
I.
A
A
I
mean
I
think
in
some
of
those
cases.
Let
me
just
try
and
touch
that
and
if
somebody
else
can
jump
in
and
I
know,
Rita
or
or
Sheila,
you
know
it's
about
the
people
that
are
struggling
with
addiction,
I
think
that
the
recovery
community
I
think
in
some
ways
it's
done
a
good
job
of
trying
to
reach
out
to
people
and
trying
to
help
them.
I.
Think
that
you
know
it's
also
about
getting
them.
A
Information
and
I
think
understanding
the
importance
of
what's
happening
and
I
think
they
know
that
a
lot
of
people
know
that,
but
understanding
that
when
they
decide
I
want
to
go
somewhere
right
now,
we
can.
We
send
them.
I,
think
that
that's
providing
opportunity
for
people
with
mental
health
services
making
sure
that
they're
still
getting
the
care.
If
there
are
medical,
kids
still
getting
the
care,
they
need.
I,
think
that
all
of
that
is
stuff
that
that
our
office
of
in
public
public
health
is
doing
I'll
offer
a
hope
and
our
office
of
recovery
services.
A
This
is
I'm,
that's
what
we
have
to
as
elected
officials,
we
talked
to
briefly
about
it
on
a
call
this
morning
with
the
City
Council.
It's
also
about
making
sure
that,
as
these
these,
these
do
not
call
stimulus
packages,
relief
packages
that
are
coming
from
the
federal
government
that
they
get
acted
on
quickly
and
also
the
legislation
that
that's
happening
at
the
State
House
I
believe
that
there's
a
piece
I
know,
there's
a
piece
of
legislation,
the
governor
filed
and
that
hopefully,
will
be
voted
on
fairly
quickly
by
the
legislature.
A
All
of
those
are
initial
relief
packages,
but
I
think
there's
going
to
be.
You
know
in
the
next
month
it's
going
to
be
longer
term
relief
packages
that
kind
they
need
to
happen.
John
bardos
was
here
with
us
today
he's
the
chief
economic
development.
You
know
we
can't
measure
the
economic
development
impact
of
what's
in
a
very
really
short
period
of
time.
Let's
say
in
the
last
ten
days.
A
Yes,
so
this
weekend
we're
not.
This
is
not
a
big-ass
everyone
we're
working
through
certain
groups,
elected
officials.
We
are
going
to
do
a
citywide
mess
of
litora
in
several
different
languages,
actually
I
think
eight
and
nine
or
ten
different
languages,
seven
different
languages
for
folks,
just
we're
dropping
information
at
your
door
for
folks
that
might
have
language
barriers
that
quite
I'm
getting
full
information
or
folks
that
just
might
not
be
completely
paying
attention
to.
What's
going
on
we're
gonna
be
doing
a
citywide
literature
drop
with
information,
the
most
printed
information
and
also
contact
information.
A
B
A
We're
working
on
all
that
our
staffs
are
working
on
that
we
have
dedicated
staff
in
shelters,
I
mean
I,
think
it
depends
on
the
day.
I
mean
a
day
like
today.
A
lot
of
people
aren't
gonna,
be
in
the
shelter
they're
gonna
be
out
and
I.
Think
at
night
we're
gonna
have
people
in
the
shelter
and
we're
working
towards
that.
It's
a
very
complicated
issue.
A
A
We
have
some
people
here
that
we've
told
that
we're
gonna
go
to
skeleton
crew
and
you're
gonna
work
from
home,
and
they
said
we
don't
want
to.
We
want
to
be
here.
Putting
these
plans
together
in
a
very
short
order,
has
been
amazing,
watching
different
people
step
up
and
do
their
job,
which
watching
our
first
responders
do
that
job,
but
police
off
fire.
Our
EMTs
watching
them
do
that
job
every
day
is
amazing,
I
think
it's
the
City
Council
who
stayed
with
me
today.
A
We've
been
on
a
call
every
morning
for
the
last
three
days
we've
met
now
I
think
for
three
days
in
a
meeting.
We've
never
really
had
that
I,
don't
think
the
city's
ever
had
that
type
of
coordination
ever
before,
where
we're
sharing
information
every
single
morning
and
working
all
the
time
just
to
share
information
and
on
this
in,
for
the
most
part
on
the
same
page,
moving
out,
you
know,
that's
been
the
positive
side
of
it.
The
other
side
of
it
is
is
that
the
fear
and
concern
people
have
trying
to
ease
their
fear.
A
Last
night
when
I
spoke
to
Boston,
as
you
could
tell
it
wasn't
announcements,
it
wasn't
a
political
speech.
It
was
about
letting
people
know
that
this
is
a
very
serious
situation
and
that
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
safe
in
Boston
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
we
continue
to
deliver
services
of
the
people
of
Boston.
So
it's
been
an
interesting
and
interesting
time.
A
You
know,
there's
moments
of
stress
and
there's
moments
of
appreciation
and
I.
Think
that
you
know
you
try
and
balance
those
out
and,
as
I
said
last
night,
I
literally
live
my
life
a
day
at
a
time
and
I
think
that
that's
what
we
have
to
do
for
a
little
while
we
have
to
live
our
life
a
day
at
a
time
and
just
just
get
through
the
day,
and
that's
something.
That's
really
important
and
and
I
learned
that
in
recovery
and
I
think
that
it's
a
great
way
to
live
and
we'll
get
through
this.
A
A
I
mean
I,
think
I
think
I
think
the
biggest
concern
we
all
have
is
what's
the
number
I
think
that's
like
that's
our
biggest
concern
and
I
think
that
you
know
that
number
I
mean
if
we
knew
what
that
number
potentially
could
be.
Then
we
can
make
a
lot
of
other
next
step
decisions
on
how
we
move
forward,
or
at
least
with
a
little
leeway.
You
know
the
mayor
in
New
York
when
he
announced
a
shelter-in-place.
A
He
announced
it
48
hours
from
now
which
allows
people
the
opportunity
to
to
go
out
and
prepare
for
the
shelter-in-place.
Didn't
really
talk
about
how
long
it
is,
but
my
concern
in
that
particular
case
would
be
as
people
are
out
and
about
getting
food
and
stuff
for
their
house.
What
type
of
potential
spreads
happening
there
so
again,
I
mean
and
I,
which
I
will
at
some
point
I
haven't
called
them.
You
know:
I
talked
to
mayor
de
Blasio,
a
lot
I
have
no
I
had
called
them
on
this.
A
I
was
thinking
about
it,
but
I
know
he's
he's
in
them,
he's
in
the
bunker
right
now
and
and
I
think
in
the
next.
You
know
maybe
tonight
I'll
call
him
and
say:
what's
the
thought
process,
he
called
me
last
week
on
the
thought
of
the
how
that
I
canceled
the
parade
now
we're
in
very
different
place.
Today
it
doesn't
seem
that
big
of
a
deal,
but
at
that
point
it
was
and-
and
he
said
what
was
my
mindset
and
cancel
the
parade.
A
A
We're
talking
to
the
specialists
and
the
scientists
and
the
doctors
that
have
this
information
and
I
think
that
you
know
I'm
going
to
continue
to
listen
to
them
and
if
you
know
tomorrow,
I'm
standing
here
and
and
it
looks
the
curves
going
the
other
way
and
it's
problem-
we
might
have
a
very
different
conversation
tomorrow
and
I
hope
not,
but
unfortunately
that's
been
the
case.
And
lastly,
because
I
know
you
probably
are
upset.
