B
As
you
know,
we
usually
start
with
our
indicators,
and
that
is
where
we
will
start
today.
Also
today
we
have
15,585
confirmed
cases
of
kobe
in
bank
county
since
the
first
case.
293
deaths
have
occurred
due
to
to
the
19th
and
right
now
we
are
seeing
around
68
new
cases
a
day
coming
into
our
public
health
workflow,
and
this
is
holding
steady
for
the
third
week.
B
We
are
not
seeing
levels
as
low
as
last
summer.
I,
don't
know.
If
you
remember
throughout
the
summer
we
could
see
an
increase
in
cases
which
translated
into
an
overwhelming
feeling,
compared
to
what
we
just
went
through
in
winter.
We
are
not
yet
in
the
numbers
we
were
expecting
from
last
summer.
Our
percentage
positivity
is
currently
and
remains
stable
at
3.4
percent
from
the
past
few
days,
and
regional
hospitalizations
also
continue
to
show
a
decline
over
the
past
few
weeks,
but
dr
hathaway
is
with
us
today.
B
B
B
B
We
are
and
continue
to
vaccinate
people,,
but
it
is
not
enough..
We
have
to
continue
doing
and
taking
the
precautions
that
we
have
recommended
from
the
beginning,,
which
is
to
use
masks,
wash
your
hands
and
keep
your
distance.
Please
do
your
part
and
limit
your
interactions,
s
and
practice
the
three
w's.
It's
like
a
reminder.
North
carolina
is
currently
vaccinating
group,
1
and
2,
and
as
of
february
24th,
the
staff
is
with
child
care.
Scolari
is
going
to
be
considered
eligible
to
get
the
vaccine.
B
We
are
arriving
right
after
him
on
announcement
from
the
governor
and
starting
tomorrow.
Essential
workers,
starting
tomorrow,
will
be
eligible
for
the
vaccine,
that
in
theory,
and
it
will
start
on
March
10.
We
anticipated
the
date
of
March
10
and
we
anticipated
and
organized
everything
regarding
this
date
and
we
are
going
to
update
the
waiting
list
as
we
come
together.
As
a
team
to
provide,
updates
and
determine
when
we
can
open.
B
B
Panko,
county
HR
health
service
and
our
EMS
partners
have
administered
32,133
doses
and
over
20,000.
Those
doses
are
the
first
dose
and
almost
12,000
are
the
second
as
well.
When
we
talk
about
distribution,
we
want
to
share
that.
We
have
been
monitoring
our
efforts
as
a
public
health
and
vaccine
provider,
and
what
you
can
see
here
are
the
specific
figures
from
the
bank
county
health
and
human
resources
service
that
shows
that
of
the
total
population
of
the
county.
B
B
Approximately
6%
of
the
county's
population
is
Black
or
American.
Rican,
approximately
15,000
individuals
in
total,
and
we
estimate
that
2,260
African-American
people
are
65
years
old
are
more
within
this
group
and
we
have
reached
approximately
22.2
percent
of
African-Americans
65
years
old
are
more
than
about
500.
B
People
again
in
the
population
65
or
older,
which
is
a
little
over
22
20
percent
of
the
African
American
population,
and
we
have
also
used
demographic
estimates
from
the
state
office
of
management
and
budget
to
get
this
information.
But
unfortunately,
this
office
does
not
collect
the
ethnicity
data
from
the
state
same
way
and
therefore
it
does
not
have
good
estimates
of
age
groups.
But
we
do
have
for
the
Latino
communities.
But
we
do
have
information
for
the
total
population,
which
is
approximately
10%.
B
In
the
population,
throughout
both
the
state
and
the
county,
it
is
quite
young
in
reference
to
the
Latino
community.
We
hope
that
these
numbers
will
continue
to
increase
the
next
s
weeks,
as
we
continue
to
open
new
vaccination
groups.
We
remain
intentional
in
our
efforts
and
our
equity
team
is
included
in
vaccine
operations
and
we
continue
to
plan
for
increased
vaccinations
in
these
population
groups.
Our
current
baseline
allocation
is
2
1,340
people.
This
is
still
about
2
trays
of
foo
fighters.
This
may
show
up
as
a
significant
increase,
but
it's
just
a
standard.
B
This
was
our
baseline
for
last
week
for
this
week
and
will
be
for
the
following
week.
Throughout
the
following
week,
we
will
be
able
to
have
additional
information
about
our
projections
for
the
following
weeks.
In
addition
to
the
baseline,
we
have
also
received
300
dose
increases
due
to
an
increase
in
equity.
The
intention
of
these
doses
is
to
provide
access
to
more
populations
that
have
historically
been
marginalized,
Last
ana
we
partnered
with
Trade
Sound
Missionary,
Baptist,
Church
Works
at
Carolina,
University
and
others
to
administer
more
than
280
doses
at
the
church.
B
B
B
B
B
But
this
is
all
going
away.
All
these
additional
doses
are
going
to
be
incorporated
into
our
waiting
list
system
and
we
are
going
to
continue.
Vaccinating
people
also
wanted
to
add
that
our
line
of
basis
besides
him,
what
we
got
because
of
the
300
equity
and
the
500
ma
ine.
What
is
the
total
number
expected
for
next
week
this
week?
For
this
week
we
will
have
around
2
thousand
640.
B
Because
we
are
going
to
receive
those
500
for
next
week
and
we
can
guarantee
that
those
doses
will
also
be
assigned
for
the
second
dose
when
we
receive
a
transfer
of
those
doses,
we
receive
them
and
they
must
give
us
a
second
dose,
so
the
network
hopes
to
receive
them.
The
same
number
for
the
second
dose,
that
is,
the
transfers
that
we
are
receiving
are
in
addition
to
the
allocations
that
they
have,.
B
This
is
what
I
understand,.
These
are
allocations
that
we
receive
in
transfers
from
other
partners
and
colleagues
in
the
community,
I
have
a
question
regarding
the
list
from
to
the
waitlist
I
was
seeing
that
we
get
a
waitlist
of
like
4000,
p
People.
There
are
some
updates
regarding
the
waiting
list
regarding
possibly
transferring
people
to
other
counties
and
to
other
states.
We
are
talking
about
54
thousand
people
on
the
waiting
list.
B
Yes,
of
course,
we
are
working
on
that
waiting
list,
because
I
must
tell
you
that
I
do
not
have
a
specific
number
for
you
at
this
time,
but
if
we
are
receiving
people
who
tell
us
I
have
already
obtained
my
vaccine
in
another
place,.
Then
there
is
no
problem,
but
if
you
can
call
us
by
phone,
let
us
know
if
you
have
obtained
your
vaccine
in
another
place.
We
are
trying
to
see
if
there
are
any
duplicates
on
this
waitlist
and
we
certainly
want
to.
B
Keep
that
waitlist
updated
as
much
as
possible.
They
are
going
to
continue
to
see
these
high
numbers
on
the
waitlist,
but
we
don't
need
to
change
this
list
in
any
way,
because
we
don't
want
to
change
that
number.
If
our
number
is
54
thousand
people,
that
number
will
remain
while
we
make
a
selection
of
the
waiting
list,
depending
on
the
people
who
have
already
been
vaccinated.
C
If
you
wanted
to
be
a
reminder
that
we
have
providers
to
settle
In
the
community,
we
have
partners
that
our
metal
centers
are
going
to
start
working
with
us.
We
also
have
commercial
pharmacies
like
Wild
Winds
that
are
participating
in
the
federal
program
and
as
far
as
I
know,,
the
opposite
of
little
has
received
me
about
160
sis
per
week..
It
seems
that
the
federal
supply
is
going
to
increase,
but
we
don't
know
by
how
much
if
we
have
organizations
operating
in
the
county
that
have
doses,
we
have
other
providers,
including
world
green.
C
So
that's
good
news
for
people
to
access.
If
people
are
interested
in
hearing
more
about
other
issues,
vaccine
providers
can
go
to
more
spam
m&s,
but
t.co
v
and
there
you
can
find
a
list
of
our
area,
that
of
providers
that
are
putting
vaccines
with
that.
I
think
that
the
next
slide
is
about
updates
of
vaccines
of
pass
the
word
again
the
doctor
the
hard
way.
I
other
hardware
can
talk
about
our
development
of
vaccines,
recent
with
johnson,
johnson
and
johnson,
and
then
we
will
continue
with
an
update
on
the
executive
order.
C
C
A
C
Sad
that
we
have
to
live
through
events
like
this
in
order
to
bring
our
community
together
but
I,
want
to
say
a
very
sincere
thank
you
to
everyone,
the
people
who
have
been
part
of
these
associations
and
who
have
talked
about
kobe,
and
we
talk
about
it
every
day.
Our
conversations
say
that
ending
this
year
and
entering
2022
that
these
relationships
will
continue
to
serve
us
in
our
community
in
a
good
way.
C
C
By
the
end
of
March
in
the
country.,
We
are
going
to
be
receiving
between
70
and
80
thousand
doses
in
North
Carolina.
This
week
,.
One
of
the
results
we
have
seen
has
been
requested
by
the
18-county
region..
One
of
these
efforts
has
been
a
vaccine
distribution
that
includes
the
majority
of
a
vaccine
consortium
that
includes
the
majority
of
parties
in
this
county,.
C
So
we're
trying
to
getting
this
vaccine
everywhere
in
the
18-county
region.
We
don't
know
exactly
when
we're
going
to
get
the
entr
ega
of
vaccines.
We
are
planning
to
receive
some
on
the
johnson
and
johnson
weekend
and
we
are
planning
seven
thousand
doses.
We
are
planning
to
distribute
them
in
the
region.
C
C
C
Policies
that
their
states
have.
I,
created
a
North
Carolina
position
in
the
center,
so
that
we
can
see
that
in
the
his
18
county
region
that
we
have
in
western
north
carolina
has
to
do
with
two
things:
one
that
everything
is
relative
geographic
isolation,
and
it
is
also
the
way
that
counties
have
proactively
responded
in
terms
of
distancing
social
distancing
and
the
use
of
masks
or
masks.
So
this
is
a
graphic
example
of
the
benefits
of
the
work
we
have
done
together
to
protect
our
communities.
Thank
you.
C
These
are
the
cases
in
the
state
of
the
usa
that
look
like
the
epidemiological
curve
that
the
ladies
showed
sounders
in
bank
county,
and
I
like
to
talk
about
this
because
we
are
seeing
a
because
we
are
going
down
the
number
of
cases
to
this
year.
But,
although
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen,
we
are
going
down,
but
we
are
also
going
back
up.
So,
as
we
see
previously,
we
have
seen
an
increase
and
we
have
also
seen
the
low
line.
C
I
am
afraid
that
we
are
going
to
see
another
increase
in
cases,
so
it
is
important
Before
continuing
to
practice.
The
www,
we
have
not
finished
with
the
most
difficult
part
at
all.
These
are
the
cases
that
we
are
seeing
in
the
Meissen
hospital,
and
the
curve
in
our
hospitals
looks
very
similar
to
this..
The
blue
curve
is
general
hospitalizations,.
C
The
yellow
and
gray
are
hospitalizations
and
people
who
are
using
respirators.
So
we
have
seen
a
dramatic
decline.
We
are
very
grateful
for
that,
but
at
the
same
time
we
have
seen
299
deaths
and
I
like
to
talk
about
vigo.
I
want
to
talk
about
it
to
remember
what
we
have
been
going
through
and
who
it
affects
disproportionately
to
young
people.
We
experienced
the
death
of
a
19-year-old
student
earlier
this
year
in
terms
of
using
the
vaccine
to
protect
the
advanced
people
you
see
in
this
graph
quickly.
C
The
the
orange
graph
are
deaths
of
people
living
in
long-term
care
homes,
and
we
have
more
focused
on
this
population,
because
the
percentage
of
deaths
in
this
population
has
declined
rapidly.
You
have
to
recognize
that
the
vaccine
is
safe,
effective
and
that
it
works.
We
have
a
part
of
positives
before
we
finish.
Stacy
did
a
good
job
of
saying
what
a
great
job
the
county
government
has
done
working
with
minority
populations.
This
is
it
data
from
the
entire
state.
C
The
blue
bars
is
the
percentage
of
the
population
that
belongs
to
that
racial
group.
The
orange
bar
is
the
percentage
of
total
cases
that
have
had
kobe.
The
dark
gray
bar
is
people
who
have
been
hospitalized
if
the
light
gray
bar
is
people
who
have
been
vaccinated.
So
these
bars
only
look
the
same
if
the
healthcare
system
were
equitable,
we
see
that
would
mean
black
people
would
make
up
21%
of
the
population,
half
the
cases,
20%
hospitalizations
and
20%
vacation
right
now.
These
people
are
21%
of
the
population
and
only
15%
of
the
vaccines.
C
Variants
are
sars
viruses
that
are
similar,
but
slightly
different,
that
have
a
change
in
their
genetics
in
their
DNA,
and
this
can
increase
virulence
and
transmission,
and
what
does
that
mean?
If
the
question
is,
can
we
fight
this?
We
don't
know,
we
don't
know
if
you
are
going
to
make
us
much
sicker
than
the
original
virus
and
number
3
is
that
it
can
spread
to
all
people
faster.
C
The
analogy
that
I
chose
in
a
previous
conversation
is
that,
if
we
think
with
him
the
sports
dogs,
that
are
the
xl,
which
is
the
equivalent
of
cover,
so
we
have
different
variations
in
dogs
of
different
colors
and
the
same
thing
happens
with
the
virus,
and
that
is
why
we
are
concerned
that
there
are
n
new
variants.
I
think
the
vaccines
will
be
effective.
We
know
that
the
information,
the
studies
we
have
suggest
that.
C
C
When
we
see
that
measure,
particularly
how
we
can
put
these
numbers
together,
if
I'm
going
to,
let
them
be
if
they
comment.
If
they
want
I,
think
those
Numbers
cannot
be
seen
in
isolation,.
You
also
have
to
see
the
percentage
numbers
of
exams
or
positive
tests,
because
that
takes
into
account
how
many
people
are
being
examined,
and
if
this
can
be
added
more,
of.
C
The
percentage
positivity
is
down
as
well,
and
the
test
numbers
of
ex's
The
tests
are
still
high
for
us,.
So
if
we
do
10,000
tests
and
we
have
a
3
percent
positivity
rate,,
we
will
continue
to
have
a
high
number
of
people
who
will
be
arriving,.
So,
even
though
our
numbers
of
positive
tests
have
gone
down,,
we
have
done
very
good
job
as
a
community
to
say
we
have
access.
C
We
have
an
opportunity
if
someone
is
experiencing
symptoms
or
you
have
had
contact
with
someone
in
which
he
has
had
as
bill
come
to
be
tested,
and
what
we
are
seeing
is
that
our
positivity,
this
percentage
of
positivity,
although
it
has
gone
down,
we
are
going
to
continue
to
have
a
new
high
number
of
new
cases.
Although
we
see
our
number
of
cases
per
day.
C
This
number,
it
is
reported
in
two
ways:
I
want
it.
What
I
want
to
show?
You
is
the
traditional
epidemiological
status
which
is
by
state,
but
it
is
also
reported
in
the
same
way
or
when
or
when
it
arrives.
So
when
we
see
these
numbers
of
new
cases
per
day,
that
is
where
we
are
seeing
that
there
are
66
to
67
new
cases
in
general.
So
if
we
saw
an
increase
in
the
summer,
we
think
that
the
summer
increase
these
numbers
are
going
down
dramatically
because
they
increased
a
lot
during
the
holidays.
B
B
B
If,
you
were
simply
wondering
about
access
to
people
older
than
75
years
old,
due
to
access
issues
and
also
with
respect
to
group.

I
know
it's
going
to
open
in
the
next
week
or
so
with
regards
to
employee
categories,
and
that
sort
of
thing
I
was
wondering
if
you
have
here
right
now
for
that
challenge
for
your
part
and
expectations
regarding
qualification
due
to
current
status
as
I
cannot
speak
for
all
vaccine
providers
at
this
time.
B
I
can
certainly
share
that
information
in
press
notifications,
but
you
on
this
web
page
can
access
all
the
information
regarding
access
to
vaccines.
If
you
are
unsure
about,
if
you
are
eligible
or
not,
please
go
to
this
web
page.
If
you
are
in
group
3,
you
are
going
to
become
eligible
starting
tomorrow.
Please
know
we
are
working
as
fast
as
we
can
to
accommodate
group
3.
But
what
can
you
expect
is
that
we
will
open
that
capacity
and
they
will
follow
the
same
process,.
B
They
can
either
call
by
phone
or
they
can
go
to
our
website
and
sign
up
for
our
waiting
list
to
make
sure
it
says
they
are
eligible.
For
this
group.
It
is
important
to
see
where
they
belong
in
each
group.
They
may
think
that
if
they
are
eligible
or
not,
it
is
possible
that
they
are
in
group
3
or
not,
but
it
is
important
to
verify
this
information.
They
may
feel
that
they
are
essential
workers,
but
the
The
criteria
is
imposed
by
the
state,.
B
Therefore,
it
is
important
to
verify
if
they
are
eligible
or
not
and
as
I
said
on
our
website,
you
can
find
all
this
information
because
it
is
possible
that
they
will
be
in
another
group,
group,
4
or
5,.
So
once
we
talk
about
this
group,,
let's
open
the
waiting
list.
This
group,
I
really
encourage
you
to
go
to
this
webpage.
It
said
it
was
fine
by
group.
B
Good
afternoon
just
wanted
to
give
a
brief
update
regarding
executive
order,
195
that
was
put
in
place
on
Friday,
February
26
and
remains
in
force
until
Friday,
March
26.
I
wanted
to
highlight
the
most
important
modifications,,
one
of
which
is
that
the
touch
has
been
removed.
curfew
and
alcohol
sales.
B
B
B
B
Each
provider
receives
per
week
if
we
can
see
match
it,
because
we
are
part
of
the
same
consortium
and
are
obviously
involved
with
other
local
and
state
partners
whenever
they
share
information
regarding
the
program
but
I,
don't
always
receive
location.
Specific
information
from
world
greens
notifications
come
to
us
from
our
state
partners,
but
in
In
your
community
there
will
always
be
suppliers
and
they
will
be
assigned
in
certain
numbers
that
will
be
shared
as
the
table
is
updated
and
whenever
there
is
information
it
will
be
updated.
C
C
Receive
a
notification,
we
would
know
how
much
our
state,
when
our
community
and
how
many
doses
they
are
receiving
if
the
providers
are
participating
in
the
state
program,
what
we
are
doing
as
community
groups
and
as
another
of
those
groups
as
a
consortium
normally
as
part
of
our
notifications,
we
can
see
our
other
associates
and
how
much
they
are
receiving
each
week.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
We
are
curious
how
this
comes
to
work,
especially
when
we
start
to
diversify
more,
so,
please
keep
giving
us
updates,
but
overall,
that's
interesting
to
keep
getting
information
about
the
county
and
other
groups
that
have
been
involved
in
this
in
this
program.
Anything
else
we
need
to
know.
No.
Thank
you
very
much.
