From YouTube: COVID-19 Media Availability 6/4/20
Description
Mayor Walsh hosts a media availability to discuss updates relating to COVID-19.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
today.
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
going
on
here
in
the
city
this
week,
I'm
going
to
start
with
updates
on
the
Cova
19
situation
and
our
ongoing
response
here
in
the
city.
The
latest
numbers,
as
of
yesterday
Wednesday
Massachusetts,
reached
one
hundred
and
one
thousand
five
hundred
ninety
two
cases
of
corona
virus
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
and
increase
over
four
hundred
and
twenty-nine.
From
the
previous
day.
The
state
has
now
confirmed
seven
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty
two
people
have
died.
A
The
Boston's
numbers
as
of
yesterday
as
well
have
recorded
twelve
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seventy
two
cases.
In
a
one
day
increase
of
54
cases.
We
have
confirmed
that
seven
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
seven
people
to
be
fully
recovering
from
Kovac
nineteen
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
that's
up
from
150.
For
the
day
before
we
are
continuing
recoveries
at
a
two
or
three
times
the
rate
of
new
cases,
which
is
a
very
positive
trend.
A
655
people
have
lost
their
life.
We
had
six
new
deaths
yesterday
and
in
the
midst
of
everything
going
on.
Our
thoughts
and
prayers
are
with
the
families
who
are
struggling
also
with
the
illness
right
now.
The
data
tells
us
that
we
continue
to
move
in
the
right
direction
and
we
have
met
the
initial
benchmarks
that
we
set
for
moving
forward
in
a
gradual
reopening
during
the
surge
in
April
Boston
hospitals
were
treating
ICU
patients
at
over
120
percent
of
their
combined
normal
capacity.
We
set
a
benchmark
of
getting
below
85%.
A
As
of
today
we
were
down
to
81
percent,
so
anyone
with
any
type
of
medical
illness,
please
make
sure
you
call
9-1-1
or
use
the
hospital.
On
tuesday
the
last
patients
were
discharged
from
Boston
Holt,
Medical
Center.
It's
now
a
suspended
operation
pending
future
need
and
that's
a
positive
milestone.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
doctors
and
nurses
and
the
staff,
the
food
staff,
the
security,
everyone,
anyone
whoo
anything
to
do
with
Boston
ho.
It
truly
is
a
Boston
success
story
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
A
Another
key
metric
that
we're
looking
at
is
access
to
testing.
We
wanted
the
ability
to
conduct
at
least
1,500
tests
per
day
by
June
1st,
and
we
met
that
benchmark.
We
got
there
by
supporting
and
funding
our
community
health
centers
and
also
by
creating
mobile
testing
for
highly
impacted
vulnerable
populations.
We've
begun
to
bring
testing
to
public
housing
and
our
senior
buildings
throughout
the
city
of
Boston
and
in
some
community
health
centers
were
able
to
provide
testing
for
people
who
are
asymptomatic
but
whose
work
or
medical
status
may
put
them
at
risk.
In
all.
A
As
of
this
week,
our
communal
positive
test
rates
are
down
to
just
below
23%,
which
is
a
good
sign,
and
for
the
week
that
ended
on
Saturday,
our
positive
test
rate
was
7.5%.
Both
of
those
numbers
are
new
lows
since
the
crisis
began.
All
of
this
progress
on
the
corona
virus
is
good
news.
However,
we
are
now
in
period
two
weeks.
We
are
now
in
the
period
two
weeks
beyond
the
start
of
the
state's
reopening
plan
on
May
18th.
A
So
we
are
monitoring
data
very
closely
to
see
if
there's
any
change
in
the
trends
of
coronavirus,
we
are
focused
on
the
Boston
specific
metrics
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
the
situation
that
our
residents
are
facing
and
that
the
precautions
that
we
are
taking
and
the
support
that
we
need
to
be
given
to
them
in
unique
conditions
in
the
state's
capital
city,
with
everything
else
going
on.
It's
also
important
time
to
remember
that
your
precautions
to
limit
the
spread
of
the
virus
are
still
extremely
important.
A
People
should
still
continue
to
be
wearing
a
face
covering,
while
outside
your
home
that
advisory
remains
in
place
and
should
be
followed.
You
should
continue
to
be
practicing
social
and
physical,
distancing
in
public
areas
both
indoors
and
outdoors.
You
should
continually
be
washing
your
hands
and
cleaning
your
surfaces.
Frequently
the
virus
has
not
gone
away.
A
All
of
these
precautions
remain
important.
As
ever,
while
the
state's
reopening
plan
continues
to
move
forward,
if
you're
reopening
your
office,
you
should
be
doing
it
in
a
gradual
and
cautious
way.
Following
the
state's
recommendations
for
your
sector
and
consulting
the
additional
guidelines,
we
are
posting
on
Boston
gov,
slash
reopening
everyone
needs
to
understand
the
risks
in
giving
workplaces
or
public
spaces
managing
those
risks
and
reaching
out
for
help
when
people
are
uncertain
about
what
to
do.
A
gradual
meet
reopening
means
a
gradual
economic
recovery.
A
We
know
that
many
people
are
still
struggling
and
will
continue
to
struggle
for
some
time,
so
we'll
continue
to
meet
the
needs
of
families
and
workers
and
seniors
and
small
businesses,
and
will
continue
the
approach
to
this
work
with
equity
for
communities
with
the
deepest
needs
informed
by
our
health
and
equity
task
force
for
small
businesses.
We
have
allocated
7.5
million
dollars
for
economic
relief.
Already
we
have
gotten
3.6
million
dollars
into
the
hands
of
over
1,500
small
businesses
in
the
city.
A
A
In
the
meantime,
we
continue
to
work
with
the
state
on
creative
ways
to
help
small
businesses
recover
I
want
to
thank
the
House
of
Representatives
representative
iron
Michael
Watson
in
the
Boston
delegation
in
passing
a
good
restaurant
relief
bill
yesterday,
as
we
move
forward
with
our
plans
to
support
outdoor
dining
and
new
revenue
opportunities
for
our
restaurants,
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
do
that.
I
also
have
some
significant
updates
on
how
we
are
helping
people
in
their
housing
crisis.
A
In
April,
we
created
a
renter
relief
fund
to
get
money
to
renters
who
lost
their
income
and
are
not
eligible
for
unemployment
benefits
or
any
other
relief.
Since
the
fund
was
launched,
we
got
over
seven
hundred
twenty
thousand
dollars
into
two
hundred
and
fifteen
households
across
seventeen
neighborhoods
to
cover
rents
for
April
and
May.
Our
partner
agencies
are
currently
processing
over
five
hundred
and
fifty
more
applications
and
will
continue
to
get
the
households
help
that
they
need.
Yesterday,
we
added
five
million
dollars
that
fund
for
a
total
of
eight
million
dollars.
A
We're
opening
up
a
second
round
of
the
application
process.
Screening
begins
at
noon.
This
Friday
June
5th
and
runs
for
two
weeks.
Information
and
telephone
support
are
available,
seven
in
seven
different
languages
and
you
can
go
to
Boston
gov,
slash
rental
relief
or
call
six
one,
seven,
six,
three
five,
forty
two
hundred
to
get
started
the
reason
that
we're
adding
money
to
this
it's
as
fun.
We
expect
low-income
renters
to
remain
in
financial
distress
for
quite
some
time
beyond
the
coronavirus.
A
The
state
of
issue
moratorium
that
helped
us
get
in
this
place
is
going
to
end
at
some
point.
Unemployment
benefits
may
run
out
and
we
could
be
looking
at
a
prolonged
national
recession.
We
are
working
hard
in
the
last
couple
of
years
to
reduce
evictions
and
we've.
We
have
one
of
the
lowest
eviction
rates
in
the
country
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
want
to
keep
it
that
way.
We
want
to
make
sure
people
can
pay
their
rents.
A
Another
important
aspect
of
this
city
benefit
is
that
anyone
who
gets
access
to
it
without
fear
of
barriers.
We
do
not
ask
immigration
questions
in
this
application.
We
do
not
share
information
with
anyone
else.
This
is
a
benefit
for
those
who
need
it,
and
that's
all
that
matters
I
can
provide
some
updates,
also
on
rental
vouchers
that
we
we
set
aside
to
lift
school
children
and
their
families
out
of
homelessness.
A
So
far,
we
announced
that
I
think
about
six
weeks
ago,
the
Boston
Housing
Authority
is
working
with
400
families
who
have
children
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools
167
of
those
families
have
vouchers
in
hand
and
86
are
already
in
permanent
housing.
That's
life-changing
for
those
families.
From
now
on,
they'll
not
pay
more
than
30%
of
their
income
towards
rent.
This
is
going
to
provide
them
with
the
stability
and
the
opportunity
to
help
save
money.
It's
going
to
improve
the
health
and
safety
and
well-being
of
the
family
unit.
A
It's
going
to
give
these
children
a
chance
to
learn
and
grow
and
dream,
and
that's
what
every
single
child
in
our
city
deserves.
Financial
relief
and
vouchers
are
about
meeting
the
my
family's
being
hurt
by
both
poverty
in
the
kovat
crisis,
but
we're
also
working
on
counting
on
our
long
term.
Work
of
expanding,
affordable
housing
in
our
city
construction
is
resumed
on
21
city-sponsored,
affordable
housing
developments
representing
a
thousand
67
units
in
four
hundred
and
twenty
five
million
dollars
of
total
investment
over
nine
hundred.
A
More
low-income,
restricted
units
created
through
our
inclusionary
development
policy
are
back
under
construction.
The
Boston
Housing
Authority
has
resumed
construction
on
eight
hundred
and
eighty
new
apartments
in
Roxbury,
the
South
End
Jamaica
Plain
South
Boston,
East
Boston.
These
will
publicize
and
residents
to
relocate
in
brand-new,
energy-efficient
homes
as
they
move.
New
families
will
be
able
to
come
out
of
shelter
and
move
into
existing
units
in
total.
That's
three
thousand
affordable
homes
under
construction.
A
Right
now,
as
we
expected,
an
additional
thousand
or
more
affordable
units
have
been
were
approved
this
year
by
the
BPD,
a
board
and
we'll
move
forward
as
well.
All
of
this
work
is
about
having
a
more
equitable
city
and
city
where
everyone
can
be
healthy
and
safe,
but
we
know
that
here
in
Boston
and
all
across
our
country,
we
have
much
more
work
to
do
so.
I
want
to
touch
upon
the
demonstrations
this
week
and
the
movement
for
change.
A
The
National
NAACP
is
calling
for
an
eight
minute
and
46
second
moment
of
silence
at
3:45
today,
in
his
memory,
I'm
participating
in
this
and
I
ask
everyone
to
please
participate
in
the
moment
in
the
in
the
moment
of
silence
here
in
Boston.
Mr.
Floyd's
murder
has
caused
real
pain.
It
has
brought
out
real
pain
that
has
existed
in
this
city
for
a
long
long
time.
A
I
want
to
thank
the
thousands
of
people
who
have
come
out
to
honor
George
Floyd
and
take
a
stand
against
racism
on
Boston
Common
yesterday
in
Franklin
Park,
on
Tuesday
and
across
the
city.
Over
the
last
several
days,
we've
seen
many
examples
of
connection
and
compassion
we've
seen
protesters
looking
out
for
each
other.
We
saw
leaders
in
our
community
guiding
young
people
to
express
themselves
safely.
A
We
saw
police
officers
taking
a
knee
in
solidarity.
It
made
me
proud,
as
the
mayor,
and
it
made
me
proud
as
a
Bostonian
change
is
necessary,
but
it's
never
easy,
and
this
is
a
difficult
time.
We
are
seeing
disturbing
scenes
from
around
the
country
and
we're
hearing
disturbing
messages
from
Washington
in
Boston
we
are
keeping
our
heroic
public
spaces
safe
of
from
free
speech.
A
We
are
listening,
I
am
listening
to
the
voices
and
the
messages
of
our
black
neighbors
who
are
harmed
by
systemic
racism
every
single
day
as
elected
officials.
It's
time
to
listen
and
learn
and
keep
those
voices
at
the
center
of
the
conversation
not
just
for
today,
not
just
for
the
next
week,
not
further
just
the
next
month
for
our
entire
careers.
It's
time
for
us
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
work
together,
work
together
to
get
some
real
work
done.
I
am
committed
to
making
real
change.
A
I
also
want
to
update
everyone
in
our
recovery
from
the
events
of
Sunday
night
early
on
Monday
crews
in
the
Public
Works
Department
and
property
management,
and
probably
the
Public
Works
Department,
and
the
Boston
Transportation
upon
we're
all
cleaning
up
and
repairing
the
parks
in
the
streets
of
downtown
and
Back
Bay.
They
were
joined
by
the
Friends
of
the
public
garden
by
the
Richard
family
and
the
local
residents
who
wanted
to
lend
a
hand
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
did
that
I
also
want
to
thank
the
people
are
on
the
country.
A
I
saw
images
in
New,
York
City
of
people,
cleaning
up
the
streets
in
New,
York
I
saw
images
of
people
in
the
streets
and
you
are
protecting
their
neighborhood
I
want
to
thank
you
for
speaking
up
and
being
part
of
that.
We're
also
working
with
our
small
business
owners,
who
were
affecting
information
on
resources
include
steps
to
take.
If
your
business
was
damaged,
you
can
go
to
Boston,
Gove's,
slash
small
talk
business
or
you
can
call
3-1-1.
A
A
Sunday
night
was
a
tough
moment,
but
this
is
a
good
week
for
our
city.
We
cleaned
it
up,
we're
helping
small
businesses
get
fixed
up.
We
continue
to
listen
to
our
black
community
and
push
for
equity
and
justice,
and
all
that
we
do.
We
continue
to
fight
this
virus
with
every
ounce
of
energy
that
we
have.
We
continue
to
support
the
residences
residents
of
our
city
through
this
crisis,
with
food,
financial
relief
with
health
and
safety
advice
and
whatever
it
takes.
A
All
of
this
work
is
making
us
more
connected
in
our
city
more
connected
and
a
more
resilient
city
and
I
am
more
confident
than
ever.
That
will
come
out
of
the
stronger,
healthier,
a
more
equitable
city.
I
want
to
close
by
talking
about
the
work.
My
colleagues,
the
city
government,
are
doing
together
with
the
residents
of
Boston
to
advance
this
movement.
I've
talked
about
how
inspiring
the
protests
have
been.
A
The
staff
of
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission
has
done
tireless
work
to
help
at
these
rallies
to
be
safe
as
possible,
providing
thousands
of
face
coverings
and
Health
Resources.
Our
neighborhood
trauma
teams
have
been
on
the
ground.
Their
mission
is
to
support
communities
impacted
by
violence
and
at
this
time,
when
both
the
current
and
past
traumas
is
a
very
much
affecting
people
and
they're
there.
A
A
Let
me
say
that
again,
some
of
our
coordinators
from
Neighborhood
Services
that
work
for
the
city
of
Boston
participated
in
the
rallies
because
they've,
not
as
a
city
employee
as
individuals
and
many
people
have
in
this
building.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
3-1-1
operators
and
the
ONS
teams
and
members
who
have
been
answering
phones
in
City
Hall.
A
Unfortunately,
some
of
the
calls
that
they've
been
taking
it
from
people
with
racism
and
hate
in
their
hearts,
and
they
have
to
deal
with
that
and
they
are
dealing
with
that.
But
it's
a
reminder
that
our
public
employees
are
human
beings
in
their
diverse
residents
of
Boston
and
as
public
service
servants.
They
experience
the
same
stresses
that
the
public
experiences.
A
We
are
making
sure
that
our
employees,
Assistance
Program
and
mental
health
resources
are
available
for
our
employees,
emotional
in
them
there
nope
I'm,
letting
them
know
personally
how
grateful
I
am
and
our
city
is,
that
the
work
that
they're
doing
I've
been
meeting
with
our
black
employees
and
employers
of
color
employees
of
color
I've
been
listening
and,
to
be
quite
honest,
what
I've
been
hearing
has
been
operating
as
a
white
person.
You
can
and
should
be
opposed
to
racism.
A
A
It's
not
just
simply
about
stopping
drinking
and
I
heard
the
serenity
prayer
a
million
times
prior
to
that,
but
the
serenity
prayer
kept
me
sober
because
her
any
press
says
it
all.
God
grant
me
the
serenity
to
accept
the
things.
I
cannot
change
the
courage
to
change
the
things
I
can
and
the
wisdom
to
know
the
difference.
A
A
They
weren't
talking
to
the
mayor
of
Boston.
They
were
talking
to
mighty
Walsh
and
they
opened
up
when
I
watched
the
reaction
of
their
white
colleagues
and
some
people
honestly
said,
department
heads
in
cabinet-level
I,
don't
know
what
to
do
right
now.
I,
don't
know
how
to
respond
right
now
and
the
responses,
let's
just
listen-
for
a
while:
let's
not
give
opinions,
let's
not
criticize,
let's
not
judge,
let's
listen,
because
if
we
listen
we'll
be
a
stronger
City
for
it.
When
I
say
this
I'm,
not
lecturing
anyone.
A
A
It's
hard
to
see
our
country
being
torn
apart.
Our
country
hasn't
been
torn
apart
in
the
last
five
days.
My
countries
had
this
underlying
tearing
for
a
long
time.
There's
a
moment
in
time
and
now's
the
moment
in
time
for
us
to
address
racism,
address
real
change,
what
I
mean,
but
that's
not
a
policy.
It's
not
just
simply
talking
about
a
policy.
I
can
talk
about
all
the
policies
up
here.
All
I
want
and
say
this.
What
we're
gonna
do
it's
about!
Acting
on
that
so
I
ask
everyone
today
to
think
about
this.
A
A
The
challenge
is
that
that
our
seniors
have
had
this
year,
whether
they're
in
Boston,
Public
Schools,
or
there
are
private
schools
or
in
China
schools.
Think
about
this.
For
a
minute,
this
school
ended
in
March
for
the
most
part,
all
of
the
celebrations
you
do
when
you
graduate
they
didn't,
have
proms,
and
congratulations
and
all
that
stuff
that
you
do.
They
didn't
have
that
they're
dealing
with
a
pandemic
that
the
last
time
any
generation
dealt
with
that
United
States
America
was
literally
102
years
ago,
and
if
that
wasn't
challenging
enough.
A
A
A
I
want
to
remind
everyone.
Next
Saturday
week
from
Saturday
June
13th
at
7:30
on
channel
5
we're
going
to
congratulate
them
with
a
special
surprise,
guest
I'm,
asking
people
to
tune
into
that
and
in
your
own
home
cheer
show
to
our
graduates.
We
can
have
700,000
people
cheering
for
you
in
the
incredible
accomplishment
that
you
gave
us
our
graduates.
A
A
Things
went
the
way
they
did
and
and
after
that
the
protests
have
been
different.
I
think
love
is
winning
out.
I.
Think
people
understand
the
importance
of
passing
a
message.
I
think
the
it's
important.
What
what
it's
it's
it's
time
for
people
to
listen
in
what's
happening,
I
can't
answer
what
happened:
Sunday
compared
to
Monday
or
Tuesday
or
Wednesday.
I.
A
On
Sunday
was
every
able
body
a
full
call-up
in
the
police
department
on
Sunday
and
the
answer
that
is
yes
and
you
know
the
crowd
was,
was
bigger
than
anticipated
and
and
and
again
you
know,
I
don't
want
to
focus
on
the
negative
here
there
were.
There
were
people
that
clearly
weren't
there
to
protest
the
in
justices
of
mr.
Floyd's
death.
They
were
there
to
cause
havoc
and
that's
what
happened
and
that's
unfortunate.
A
What
would
I
say
concern
for
residents
in
the
city
who
could
join
about
damage
clearly
I'm
watching
these
protests,
not
just
here
in
Boston
I'm,
watching
what's
going
on
in
the
country
and
I'm
watching
people
telling
anybody
who's
causing
destruction
that
you're
ruining
my
city
and
you're,
ruining
our
neighborhood
and
I'm.
Watching
people
rally
around
like
that
and
as
I
said,
love
Trump's
hate
all
the
time
and
that's
what's
happening.
A
I
think
I
saw
an
incredible
video
last
night
of
a
woman
in
New
York
City
yelling
at
people
who
were
doing
harm
to
her
neighborhood
when
I
say
yelling
just
passionately
talking
about
it
about.
This
is
not
what
it's
all
about
coming
to
our
neighborhood
and
breaking
out
shops
and
Root
and
burning
our
houses
down
things
like
that,
and
we
were
seeing
more
and
more
of
those
cases
have
more
and
more
of
those
situations
happening.
A
It
happened
in
Boston
the
other
night.
Somebody
is
rallying
up
somebody
to
a
bottle
at
a
police
officer
in
front
of
a
station
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
young
people
that
protest,
one
that
went
over
to
them
and
grabbed
ants.
What
are
you
doing?
That's
not
what
we
if
one
happen
in
Jamaica,
Plain
e-13,
the
other
night,
more
and
more
that's
happening.
A
Any
lessons
from
Sunday
night
about
letting
people
get
back
to
their
car
on
the
tea
and
things
like
that.
Yeah
there's
one
real
great
one.
We
better
listen
and
pay
attention
to
what's
happening
in
our
country
right
now,
and
we
better
understand
and
appreciate
the
black
community,
angry
and
frustrated
and
sad
and
scared
about
racism
and
injustice
--is.
The
way
we
the
way
we
we
fix.
The
problem
Sunday
night
is
by
addressing
the
change
that
has
to
happen.
A
There's
no
right
there's
nobody
writing!
That
I
mean
that
that's
just
I
was
on
the
phone
with
district
attorney.
This
morning
we
talked
about
I
talked
to
almost
every
day.
There's
no
right!
There's
no
right
side!
It's
it's
about
it's
about!
We
need
to
listen
more
I'm
asking
all
people
heads
of
the
police
unions,
I'm,
asking
people
heads
of
any
unions,
I'm,
asking
people
in
business.
We
need
to
listen.
We
need
to
understand
the
hurt
that
people
having
that's
that's
that's
what's
right
here
is
is
that
we
have
to
do
that.
A
We
can't
turn
the
page.
I
was
the
mayor
when
there
was
riots
in
Ferguson
and
I
was
brand
new
for
the
most
part
and
those
protests
and
riots
going
on
and
throw
some
demonstrations
here
in
Boston
I
was
worried.
Is
a
new
man?
Something's
gonna
happen
here
in
Boston
and
and
nothing
happened
in
Boston,
and
we
turned
the
page.
A
It
isn't
shootings
mass
shootings
across
the
country
and
everyone's
open
arms
and
we
need
to
reform
on
mass
shootings
and
we
turn
the
page
and
then
there's
another
murder
in
in
Baltimore
in
New,
York
and
brutality,
and
we
turn
the
page
and
the
shooting
in
Vegas,
and
we
turn
the
page
and
what
I'm
not
putting
the
two
together.
But
we
have
a
great
ability
to
turn
the
page
when
something
really
uncomfortable
comes
to
the
surface.
A
A
C
A
How
do
we
really
deal
with
the
issue
and
and
we're
working
on
some
things
now
and
we
have
work
to
do
with
the
City
Council
I
spoke
to
the
president
of
counsel
the
other
day,
and
we
have
to
have
some
follow-up
phone
calls
about
how
we
do
it
together.
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
the
mayor,
reacting
and
the
council
reacting
and
the
legislators
are
reacting
and
individuals.
Reacting.
A
So
yeah
so
I'll
try
any
into
that
right.
Now,
as
it
does
I
can,
when
I
became
the
mayor
in
2014,
I
was
able
to
bring
a
new
police
commissioner
Commissioner
Evans
and
I
was
a
being
able
to
bring
in
a
new
chief
Willie
grass
became
the
chief
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
talked
about
at
that
point.
If
you
remember
the
events
of
police
involved,
shootings
that
happened
prior
to
that
and
then
Ferguson.
A
The
events
in
Ferguson
happened
and
we
started
to
change
when
I
say
we,
the
police
department,
leadership
started
to
change
a
lot
of
the
work
that
they
were
doing
as
far
as
training
implicit
bias,
training,
de-escalation,
training,
a
lot
of
different
things.
We
outlawed
the
chokehold.
We
started
having
conversations
about
making
some
real
substantive
changes.
Lisa
holmes
was
the
superintendent
at
the
time
at
the
academy,
and
we
made
those
changes
and
when
President
President
Obama
came
out
with
his
21st
century
police
report.
A
Many
of
many
of
the
the
changes
that
we
did
were
included
in
that
report
and
it's
been
an
evolution
of
the
police
department.
I.
Think
right.
Now
is
a
good
time
to
take
another
look
at
changes
we
might
have
made
and
maybe
look
and
even
look
at
some
of
the
other
changes
to
collective
bargaining
stuff
that
you
mentioned,
that
that's
the
different,
that's
a
negotiation.
We
have
to
have
the
negotiations,
but
in
the
last
you
know
last
couple
of
years
you
know
our
office.
A
Our
offices,
we've
implemented
a
body
camera
program
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
have
a
co-op
board
that
was
three
members
and
there's
five
members.
We
have
to
look
at
that
review
that
to
see
exactly
what
the
function
of
that
board
is.
Do
we
do
we
expand
the
function
that
for
it
to
actually
look
at
policing
and
how
they
do
policing.
So
there's
a
lot
of
conversations
that
we're
having
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
in
light
of
what
happened
in
Minneapolis,
but
a
lot
of
the
stuff.
A
We
didn't
wait
for
Minneapolis
a
lot
of
the
stuff
in
Boston's
already
put
in
place,
I'd
love
to
say
we're,
perfect,
no
one's
perfect,
but
we
it's
it's.
It's
a
it's
a
it's,
an
evolving
evolving
evolution
of
community
policing
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
at
that
and
make
make
the
change
we
have
to
make
you
don't
want
to
be.
We
don't
I,
don't
think
right.
Now
is
not
the
time
to
be
when
I
say
reactionary
of
just
putting
out
of
putting
out
a
public
health
emergency.
A
It's
about
making
sure
the
substance
of
some
substance
behind
that
public
health
emergency
right
now
right
now
that
the
the
the
the
concerned
I,
believe
Minneapolis
doesn't
have
it
that
they
can
still
do
it.
But
right
now
in
Boston
we
don't
have
the
use
of
force.
We
don't
have
the
the
chokehold.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
that
in
our
policy.
It's
not
it's
not
allowed
span.
Xiamen.
A
Yeah
we
had
a
meeting
today
with
the
Boston
delegation
at
the
state
in
the
in
the
city
at
the
sea
hall
and
state.
We
have
about
275
applications
right
now
for
our
restaurants,
we
were
looking
for
outdoor
dining,
we're
in
the
process
now
of
working
through
those
one
at
a
time
in
the
different
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Boston,
to
figure
out
how
we're
gonna
make
it
work
and
work
with
the
community.
A
So
we're
going
through
that
now
also
the
legislation,
the
Legislature
passed
yesterday,
the
ability
to
take
cordials
to
go
and
extend
some
third
part
do
some
work
on
third-party
deliveries
and
extend
what
they've
done
earlier.
So
that's
going
to
assist
businesses
as
well
moving
forward,
so
we're
good.
This
is
gonna,
be
a
busy
week,
we'll
update
you
as
the
week
goes
on
here
in
that
works.
A
The
question
is:
how
concerned
am
I
about
the
large
gatherings
spreading
the
virus
in
delay.
Reopening
I'm,
not
as
concerned
about
the
reopening
I'm
more
concerned
about
individuals
getting
the
virus
and
I
have
grave
concern
about
that
and
I
have
great
concern,
because
mostly
young
people
at
the
protests
and
I
just
asked
them
to
be
careful,
because
if
you
get
the
virus,
you
contract
the
virus,
you
take
it
home
and
you
have
somebody
at
home.
That's
that's
older.
