Hello:
everyone
it's
the
last
day
of
july,
it's
friday
july,
the
31st
we're
still
having
a
real
issue
with
this
killer
virus.
I'll
tell
you
about
that
as
we
go
forward
here,
but
now
we've
lost
another
five
west
virginians
and
they
are
our
112th.
Death
was
a
74
year
old
female
from
mercer
county
113th
was
a
49
year
old
female
from
ohio
county
114th
was
a
59
year
old
male
from
logan
county
115th
death
is
an
85
year
old,
female
from
logan
county
and
our
116th
death,
and
we
celebrate
this
long.
A
A
A
A
You
know
at
one
it's
it's
better
than
a
lot
of
states,
but
and
and
where
we
were
we
at
one
time
we
reached
the
highest
of
any
of
the
states,
which
is
terrible,
but
we
are
doing
much
better
there,
but
we've
got
to
continue
to
bring
this
thing
down
now
and
I'll.
Tell
you
this
probably
when
I
sign
off
today
and
I'm
telling
it
to
you
right
now,
west
virginia.
A
A
A
A
Well,
then,
what's
happening
in
logan
county,
it's
coming
from
the
south,
what's
happening
in
mercer
county,
it's
coming
from
the
south.
It's
coming
what's
happening
in
kentucky
kentucky
is
absolutely
shutting
down
their
whole
universe.
Over
there,
it's
coming
from
the
south
west
virginia
you
have
got
to
listen.
You
can't
ease
off.
You've
got
to
wear
your
mask.
A
A
West
virginia.
You
have
been
the
miracle.
I
have
just
read
all
five
beautiful
west
virginians
that
we've
lost
now
life
is
too
precious
for
me
to
sit
here
and
read
of
west
virginians.
We've
lost
please
west
virginia.
I
am
pleading
with
you.
Wear
your
mask.
Wash
your
hands.
Do
everything
you
possibly
can
this
thing
is
invisible
and
it
is
here
with
us.
A
It
will
not
be
with
us
forever,
especially
as
we
move
toward
those
potential
drugs,
but
today
it
is
with
us
and
it
can
do
harm
to
us.
Like
you
can't
imagine,
don't
let
your
guard
down
west
virginia
we're
seeing
you
do
just
that,
we're
seeing
you
do
greatness
and
we're
still
seeing
people
that
believe
that,
well,
I
don't
have
to
wear
a
mask
and
they're,
not
following
the
science
they're,
not
following
our
president
they're,
not
following
me
their
father's
saying.
That's
my
right.
A
A
Can't
back
off
now
I've
got
a
bunch
of
things
to
talk
about.
You
know
I'm
going
to
go
through
them
as
quickly
as
I
possibly
can.
You
know
there
was
a
report
that
just
came
out.
There's
a
there's,
a
beautiful
I
mean
there's,
there's
two
individuals
that
are
with
us
today.
You
know
the
mayor
of
parkersburg
tom
joyce
is
joining
us.
You
know
on
our
zoom
and
and
so
is
our
the
chamber
of
commerce.
President
steve
roberts,
you
know,
as
a
reporter
came
out
and
and
senator
capito
reported
on
it.
A
You
know
I've
been
saying
it
and
and
every
day
you
know
how
hard
and
how
good
that
we're
doing.
As
far
as
getting
the
monies
out
to
our
people,
the
report
that
was
released
this
week
by
the
u.s
treasury
department
says
that
west
virginia
is
fourth
in
the
nation
when
it
comes
to
the
rate
at
which
we
are
using
and
getting
the
cares
money
out.
A
You
know,
and
we
are
only
behind
in
this
nation,
the
or
in
this
state,
rather
california,
colorado
and
new
york
and
then
west
virginia
is
right
there,
and
this
doesn't
mean
that
we've
spent
all
the
money,
all
the
1.25
billion
dollars.
The
report
is
significant
because
all
states
had
to
be
measured
exactly
the
same
way
by
the
guidelines
and
and
so
what
I've
been
saying
to
you
over
and
over
and
over.
Is
that
and-
and
you
know
and
there's
never
a
time
that
it
can
be
fast
enough.
A
You
know
west
virginia
is
fourth
in
the
nation
in
this,
and
that's
great
there's
no
question
it's
great.
It's
not
good
enough
for
me.
You
know,
I'm
the
person
that
is
telling
you
let's
go
from
50th
to
1st
first
is
what
we
want
to
be
in
west
virginia,
and
so
I
know
I
know
that
we
can't
be
fast
enough.
A
No
matter
what
we
do
in
getting
dollars
out
but
being
criticized
for
whatever
fort
is,
is
completely
unfair.
It's
unfounded!
It's
not
true.
Here
is
a
report
by
the
treasury
department.
That
is
just
telling
you
and
everyone
what
our
great
people
have
done
in
pushing
dollars
out
the
door
and
getting
money
in
the
pipelines
and
everything
that
can
go,
ranks
us
fourth
in
the
nation
at
it.
So
I'll
defer.
You
know
just
a
second.
You
know
to
a
couple
of
great
people.
C
There
I
am
good
and
it's
wonderful
and
those
on
the
call.
We
appreciate
your
leadership
for
taking
great
notes.
We
are
urging
caution.
I
have
someone
with
me
here
in
my
office,
so
I
have
reached
over
and
put
my
mask
on
and
governor.
You
can
be
assured,
we
are
heeding
your
advice
and
we
are
urging
others
to.
We
have
a
wear
your
mask
campaign
underway.
C
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
helping
with
so
many
small
businesses
in
west
virginia,
the
west
virginia
chamber
of
commerce.
We
are
privileged
to
have
within
our
membership
companies
that
employ
over
half
of
west
virginia's
entire
workforce,
and
so
we
hear
from
those
companies-
and
they
tell
us
that
they
have
cash
needs,
they
need,
they
need
customers,
they
need
commerce.
C
But
of
course
we
say
all
of
this,
knowing
that
number
one
is
that
we
have
to
keep
people
safe
and
we
have
to
keep
people
out
of
harm's
way,
and
so
we
are
carefully
trying
to
balance
how
to
do
that,
but
we
appreciate
the
leadership
you're,
providing
particularly
in
helping
the
small
businesses
with
their
cash
and
customer
needs.
So
that
is,
that
is
particularly
helpful
and
much
appreciated,
I'm
going
to
say
quickly
and
then
I'm
going
to
move
on
so
that
we
have
time
to
hear
from
others.
C
The
number
one
thing
we
hear
from
our
small
businesses
is
that
we
need
to
work
remotely
and
we
need
to
improve
broadband
and
able
to
be
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
that.
So
broadband
skilled
work
for
workforce
workers
who
are
able
to
come
to
work
and
learn
and
be
trained,
are
very
high
priorities
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
that
just
the
needs
to
have
cash
in
the
door
to
meet
the
essential
needs
very
important.
So
we
appreciate
your
leadership.
C
We
appreciate
that
with
your
leadership,
we
in
west
virginia
are
doing
number
four
in
the
country
we
like
when
you
say,
let's
go
from
where
we
are
to
number
one.
We
want
to
be
in
that
race
with
you
and
appreciate
your
leadership,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
defer
to
others
on
the
call.
But
again,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
A
Let
me
let
me
say
one
thing:
steve
thanks
a
bunch
you're,
a
tremendous
president.
You
know
of
our
of
our
oh
gosh.
I've
got
all
choked
up
here.
You
know
of
the
you
know
our
chamber
of
commerce
and
all
the
different
people
that
you're
working
with
and
all
of
our
small
businesses,
big
businesses
and
everybody.
But
at
the
same
time
I
want
to
just
tell
you
this
that
steve.
A
E
D
Governor,
I
want
to
thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
parkersburg
for
everything
you
do
you're,
not
in
this
alone.
I
know
that
you,
I
share
your
heartache.
Sometimes
you
feel
like
you're
alone,
but
there's
a
lot
of
folks
out
here,
doing
the
right
thing
and
pulling
for
for
you
and
all
all
of
west
virginia
from
our
standpoint
here
in
the
city
of
parkersburg.
You
know
the
the
cares
act
piece
you
know
once
the
criteria
was
determined
and
the
process
was
laid
out,
it's
been
really
very
efficient
and
effective.
D
D
You
know
the
remittance
from
the
karazhak
funds
on
our
end
has
been
very
timely
for
our
front-facing
police
and
fire
personnel.
In
particular,
I
did
speak
with
the
sheriff
of
wood
county
today,
and
I
know
that
the
county
has
received
some
funds
with
regards
to
front-facing
personnel
and-
and
you
know,
it's
going
to
prove
vital
moving
forward
for
us
to
continue
our
essential
services,
police
and
fire
protection
and
and
all
the
things
that
that
our
citizens,
you
know,
count
on
us
and
expect
from
us.
D
So
I
really
appreciate
everything
that
that
you've
done
and
again
your
staff
has
just
been
extremely
cooperative
and
helpful.
I
mean
they
really
and
it
you
know
it
was
stressful
there,
particularly
back
as
we
approached
the
end
of
our
fiscal
year
in
june.
But
again,
all
those
folks,
mr
abraham,
ms
earling
they've,
just
all
been
been
great.
So
we're
very
appreciative
of
the
way
the
cares
act
has
been
handled,
particularly
these
last
several
weeks.
A
Well,
mayor,
thanks
and
and
and
forgive
me,
I
got
a
little
choked
up
there
and
everything
you
know
with
our
chamber
leader
and
everything,
steve
and
and
mayor.
I
want
to
say
just
this
that
all
of
us
are
pulling
this
rope
and
we're
doing
great
work,
you're
doing
a
great
job.
You
know
in
in
your
position
and
and
all
the
great
stuff
that's
going
on.
You
know
there
you've
been
dealt
some
some
tough
licks
up
there
to
just
tell
it
like
it
is.
A
You
know
the
fire
that
you
had
up
there
and
all
the
different
things,
but
the
opportunities
that
we
could,
how
we
can
grow
and
all
the
from
from
all
the
petrochemical
possibilities
and
on
and
on
in
the
parkersburg
area
are
phenomenal
and
we
we
absolutely
but
we've
got
to
survive
and
get
through
this,
this
terrible
epidemic
or
pandemic
that
we've
got
going
on,
and
and
so
we
want
to
continue
to
try
to
push
some
money
out.
Ann
earling
is
you
know,
probably
it
deserves
an
awful
lot
of
credit.
A
You
know,
but
don't
forget,
you
know
our
state,
auditor
and
jb
mccuskey
and
all
the
people
that
are
really
working
it.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
people
out
there.
You
know
our
attorney
general's
working
hard
at
it
and
everything,
and
so
patrick
and
everybody.
We
thank
everybody
for
all
the
great
work
that's
going
on
and
we're
just
gonna
we're
just
gonna
keep
at
it.
I
mean
that's
all
there
is
to
it.
You
know
we
just
keep
at
it
and
we
just
keep.
You
know
I'll.
A
Never
forget
you
know
a
basketball
coach
as
it
was
at
woodrow
wilson
when
I
was
probably
12
years
old
and
a
crescent
chipmunk.
You
know
in
elementary
school
and
you
know
they
were
playing
the
state
championship
and
they
were
playing
against
weirdon
and,
and
it
was
an
incredible
game
between
two
undefeated
schools
and
weirdon,
had
a
big
lead
and
all
of
a
sudden
woodrow
started
coming
back.
A
I
was
at
the
game,
it
was
in
morgantown
at
the
old
field
house,
in
morgantown,
people
were
going
completely
crazy
and
at
the
time
outs
the
basketball
coach
kept
kept
saying
one
thing,
and
only
one
thing
to
the
boys
and
everything
and
he
was
pounding
his
hands
like
that
saying,
keep
sawing
wood
boys
keep
sawing
wood
and
that's
what
we
have
to
do.
We
just
have
to
keep
sawing
wood.
We
just
have
to
keep
absolutely
keep
pumping
out,
all
the
goodness
that
we
can
do
and
all
stay
together
and
keep
pulling
the
rope
together.
A
So
thank
you
guys,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
coming
in
today
and
and
again
thanks.
Let's
just
keep
it
going,
I
want
to
move
on.
I
want
to
move
on
to
a
thing
that
we're
going
to
do.
You
know,
as
I
said,
I've
said
it
a
couple
of
times,
but
now
we
got
it
and
we
got
it
moving
in
the
way
that
we
it
needs
to
move.
A
Now,
if
you've
got
somebody,
that's
doing
you
know
virtual
learning
at
a
distance,
we
sure
don't
need
to
call
them
in
to
get
them
tested.
That
could
even
cause
a
bigger
problem,
but
anybody
that's
coming
to
any
of
our
campuses
in
state.
Out
of
state,
it
doesn't
matter,
we
test
everybody,
including
all
the
faculty
and
everybody
else,
and
and
we're
gonna
we're
going
to
pledge
the
dollars
to
be
able
to
accomplish
this,
and
then
we're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
schools.
A
And
we
have
a
lady
with
us
today,
who's
doing
a
great
job
at
fairmont
state.
Her
name
is
dr
mita
martin
and
dr
martin
is
with
us
and
she's,
going
to
say
a
few
words
and
we're
tickled
to
death
to
have
her
here,
and
we
we're
just
proud,
as
we
can
be
a
fairmont
state,
and
we
just
want
them
to
keep
on
keeping
on.
F
F
F
Sir.
We
know
that
you
are
a
passionate
advocate
for
our
institutions
and
for
the
importance
that
our
universities
and
colleagues
are
as
advocates
of
life-transforming
opportunities
for
our
students,
and
so
today's
announcement
that
you
earmarked
funds
to
assist
us
in
testing
all
of
our
students,
faculty
and
staff,
is
evidence
of
your
resolve
to
place
the
needs
of
our
state
and
of
our
institutions.
F
First,
I
consider
myself
very
fortunate
to
live
in
this
great
state,
governor
justice,
on
behalf
of
west
virginia's,
universities
and
college.
Please
accept
our
very
heartfelt
and
sincere
gratitude,
sir,
for
your
support
and
for
the
monumental
assistance
that
you
have
forwarded
today
to
test
our
students,
our
faculty
and
our
staff.
God
bless
you,
sir.
Thank
you
so
very.
A
A
There's
a
lot
a
lot,
a
lot
of
different
plans
that
are
in
in
place.
I've
got
all
the
confidence
in
the
world
and
you
and
all
the
people
that
are
putting
those
plans
into
motion
and-
and
so
just
just
keep
it
up.
I
mean
you
know
I
we
all
know
that
we
want
to
go
back
to
school,
but
we
we've
got
to
do
it
right.
We
got
to
do
it
as
safely
as
we
possibly
can.
We
got
to
protect
our
students.
We
got
to
protect
our
faculty,
but
we've
got
to
protect
our
communities.
A
A
Now,
if
I
could
go
on
to
to
just
a
few
more
announcements
and
everything
we
still
have
outbreaks
in
churches,
in
only
four
counties,
now
that's
down
from
eight
to
six
and
on
and
down
to
four
now,
but
those
are
in
mason
grant
logan
and
taylor
counties.
The
there's
there's
there's
a
total.
Now
you
know
that
these
these
four
counties
account
for
87
of
the
131
total
cases.
A
A
Maybe
the
number
one
thing
you
know,
and
and
yet
we've
got
at
church
to
wear
your
mask
or
wear
a
face
shield
we've
got
to
absolutely
keep
you
know
the
social
distancing
in
place.
We've
got
to.
We've
got
to
have
a
pew
in
between
us
we've.
We
got
to
just
do
everything
we
possibly
can
because
just
think
as
I
read
through
these
numbers
number
after
number,
after
number,
especially
is
primarily
our
elderly
and
our
elderly
community
is
surely
an
awful
lot
of
our
church
goers.
A
So
so
please,
please,
please
hear
what
I'm
saying
you
know
this.
This
is
this
is
tough
enough
to
sit
here
and
and
call
out
five
west
virginians
that
have
passed
away
because
of
this
terrible
thing,
but
it
is
only
a
fraction-
and
I
know
it's
just
a
fraction
of
what
those
families
are
feeling.
You
know.
A
I
know
that
I'm
trying
to
be
respectful
to
those
families
in
every
way,
but
I
know
my
words
and
my
stress
and
problems
with
with
calling
those
out
are
only
a
fraction
to
how
bad
the
families
are
hurting
and
all
those
people's
loved
ones.
So
please
give
them
your
thoughts
and
prayers
be
safe.
West
virginia
come
on
now
our
small
business
grants
are
moving,
they're
moving,
really
good.
You
know,
I
urge
you,
know
people
to
continue
to
apply.
A
We
need
more
and
more
and
more
people
to
apply
we're
still
working
really
hard
to
find
a
way.
You
know
jb
and
ann,
and
so
many
are
working
to
find
a
way
that
we
can.
We
can
bring
you
know
in
into
the
into
the
program.
You
know
those
that
are
not
technically
an
employee
but
but
they're
making
their
living.
A
You
know,
as
as
you
know,
a
sole
proprietor
and
everything
and
they're
making
a
living
on
the
profits
of
the
of
the
of
whether
it
be
a
barber
shop
or
whatever
and
they're
the
only
person
there
and
everything
but
they're
not
paying
themselves
as
an
employee.
It
makes
it
really
difficult
for
us
to
to
track
and
it
makes
it
really
difficult
for
us
to
be
able
to
prevent
fraud
and
and
you've
got
a
lot
of
people
out
there
that
are
preying
on
these
systems.
A
A
Our
free
testing
is
still
going
on
this
week
and
it's
going
to
be
going
on
this
week
in
gilmer
and
marion
county
next
week,
it'll
be
in
hampshire,
mcdowell
and
taylor
counties
it's
available
to
all
available
to
all
and
everything,
especially
our
minorities.
It
gives
us
more
and
more
and
more
information.
A
A
A
As
far
as
our
grants,
we've
talked
about
that
we've
we've
pumped
out
now
in
excess
of
63
million
dollars
have
been
awarded
to
160
cities
and
counties.
We've
got
to
have
more
people,
apply,
we're
continuing
to
push
the
money
out
the
door
and
everything
the
treasury
department.
You
see
reported
that
that
came
from
from,
surely
no
nowhere
that
I
had
or
anybody
in
my
office
knew
about
and
all
of
a
sudden
it's
here.
A
You
know
we
appreciate
senator
capito,
you
know
bringing
that
up
on
hoppy
the
other
day
and
and
we
just
needed
to
further
explain
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
west
virginia
as
far
as
our
summer
feeding
map
it's
up.
We
now
have
the
696
sites.
We
absolutely
don't
want
anybody
in
west
virginia
to
go
hungry.
If
you
have
an
issue
and
you're
having
a
problem
either
call
us
or
call
2-1-1
and
we'll
direct
you
to
how
you
can
get
to
the
proper
food
and
everything
as
far
as
our
census.
A
A
You
know
if
you
look
at
the
top.
We
have
now
got
4
750
people
that
have
recovered,
but
we
have
1712
people
and
I
think
that's
correct
and
everything,
but
that
now
are
active
cases.
We
need
this
to
really
widen.
We
we're
testing
a
lot
of
people.
We've
got
a
lot,
a
lot
of
people
that
were
you
know
that
were
treating
as
active
cases
are
recovered.
We
want
to
keep
keep
that
going
in
the
right
direction.
A
A
You
know
the
transmission
of
it
here
anyway,
but
we
got
a
lot
of
people
that
are
traveling
to
the
south
and
everything
on
vacations
and
everything
and
coming
back
and
a
lot
of
people
are
completely
don't
have
a
clue
in
the
world
that
they
have
this.
They
got
it,
and
now
we
got
a
real
problem,
a
real
big
problem.
A
This
is
not
only
just
migrating
from
the
south
on
people
that
are
going
on
vacations,
but
it
is
migrating
from
the
south
because
of
just
simply
the
pure
numbers.
What
is
the
likelihood
of
someone
driving
over
from
a
bordering
state
like
kentucky?
That
is
four
miles
away,
and
what
is
the
likelihood
of
that?
If
kentucky
was
really
really
really
low,
they're
a
barrier
to
us,
they
are
blocking
it
coming
from
alabama
or
tennessee
they're
blocking
it
for
us,
but
now
kentucky
is
covered
up
with
it,
and
now
ohio
is
having
a
problem.
A
You
know
these
people
this.
This
is
coming
from
the
south.
You
see
what's
happening
in
florida
and
I've
beat
that
horse
to
death.
But
you
see
what's
happening
in
florida:
it's
amazing
they
they
have
two
and
a
half
times
the
number
of
deaths
in
the
state
of
florida.
Yesterday,
two
and
a
half
times
the
number
of
people
died
in
florida
yesterday
as
have
died
in
west
virginia
in
the
entire
time.
A
A
We're
fighting
a
monster
here
and
the
monster
is
killing
people
every
day
and
there's
no
playbook,
no
one's
ever
seen
it
before
we're
trying
to
stop
it
and
we're
trying
to
go
on
and
keep
our
economy
moving.
And
all
of
this
is
one
tough,
tough
balancing
act
so
west
virginia.
Do
your
part?
Do
your
part?
A
G
I
said
earlier
in
the
week
that
without
sports
on
tv
that
it
seems
everyone's
past
times
to
be
an
armchair
epidemiologist,
that's
not
as
easy
as
it
seems.
I
am
certainly
not
an
epidemiologist,
but
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
walk
you
through
the
timeline.
With
regard
to
that
outbreak,
I
want
to
show
you
that
timeline.
This
is
directly
from
the
outbreak
report
that
the
regional
epidemiologists
and
our
head
epidemiologist
walked
me
through
last
night.
So
jordan,
can
you
pull
up
that
slide?
Please
it's
up!
G
G
If
you
notice
the
first
date
is
june
30.,
the
june
30
date
is
when
we,
when
dhhr
was
first
notified
notified
of
a
positive
case
of
an
employee
at
princeton
healthcare
center.
That
was
a
confirmed
case.
The
employee
was
asymptomatic
when
tested,
but
had
not
been
in
the
facility
prior
to
jill
or
subsequent
to
june
21st.
So
this
individual
was
not
deemed
to
be
a
risk
in
terms
of
spread
in
the
facility.
G
Nevertheless,
we
contacted
our
health
command
contacted
the
facility.
They
did
their
own
testing
on
july
1st.
So
again
that
was
arranged
immediately
arranged
the
day
after
the
notification
of
the
positive
and
that
began
at
seven
a.m.
That
morning,
that
testing
was
completed
and
specimens
sent
to
labcorp
on
july
4th
some
test
results
came
back
and-
and
that
was
when
we
identified
an
additional
positive
case
again,
that
employee
was
asymptomatic,
that
employee
was
sent
home
and
one
other
employee
was
sent
home.
G
G
On
july
6
there
was
a
follow-up
with
the
epi.
There
was
no
additional
cases
at
that
point.
On
july,
7th
all
of
the
returns
all
of
the
reports
were
received
and
all
188
staff
were
tested
with
187
negative
and,
as
I
said,
one
positive
test
that
came
back
on
the
fourth
and
102
patients
were
tested.
All
were
negative.
G
So,
on
july,
9th
the
regional
epidemiologist
did
follow-up
to
determine
whether
there
were
any
updates.
Any
changes
with
regard
to
the
population
of
the
patients
and
the
staff
on
july
13th
follow
up
no
additional
cases.
A
note
in
the
in
the
report
is
that
they
will
monitor
through
one
incubation
period
on
july,
15th
right
as
the
file
was
ready
to
be
closed.
An
additional
employee
had
symptoms
was
again
immediately
sent
home.
G
G
G
G
G
I
think
the
fact
that
the
administrator
wanted
additional
testing
on
the
7th
and
remember
the
7th
was
the
day
that
the
remaining
results
came
back
in,
so
we
had
just
received
all
of
the
results
on
the
7th,
but
I
think
I
think
the
administrator
wants
to
make
sure
that
she
and
and
the
staff
could
do
everything
possible
to
protect
their
patients
and
protect
their
staff,
and-
and
I
understand
that,
in
this
case,
testing
was
not
necessary.
According
to
the
to
the
epidemiologist
regional
epidemiologist
was
following
this.
These
cases
very
closely.
G
Our
regional
regional
epidemiologists
work
incredibly
hard,
as
well
as
those
in
the
local
health
department.
So
the
timeline
between
the
first
two
cases
was
15
days.
These
were
two
the
the
source
of
these.
These
two
individual
outbreaks
were
separate.
They
were
different.
We
found
that,
through
through
contact
tracing
into
discussing
the
the
the
source,
so
the
the
arguments
in
the
press
or
the
discussion
in
the
press
that
that
something
was
missed
is
is
inaccurate.
G
It
is
not
true,
so,
as
the
governor
says
run
to
the
fire,
we
did
run
to
the
fire
and
we
did
our
staff
did
and
the
staff
of
the
facility
did
exactly
what
needed
to
be
done.
Additional
testing
on
the
second
source.
The
second
positive
case
was
done
on
the
17th
on
the
23rd
and
on
the
28th,
so
we
have
been
in
constant
communication
with
with
the
facility
with
the
nursing
home
and
trying
to
make
sure
we
provide
all
support
needed.
G
The
national
guard
is,
I
believe,
is
down
there
today
in
terms
of
education
with
regarding
ppe,
we've
offered
additional
ppe
and-
and
we
will
provide
that
as
needed.
I
believe
we've
already
provided
a
significant
amount
down
there.
So
let
me
just
say:
dhhr
works
hard.
We
have
worked
very
hard
to
be
open
and
honest
and
transparent,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
G
We
will
not
always
do
everything
right.
Those
folks
who
work
with
me
have
heard
me
say:
if
we
make
a
mistake,
we
admit
it,
we
own
it.
It's
ours,
we'll
fix
it
and
we'll
fix
things
so
that,
hopefully
we
don't
make
that
mistake
again,
which
we've
done
a
couple
of
times
in
terms
of
our
policies
and
how
we
move
forward.
G
What
I'm,
not
okay
with,
is
bring
politics
in
into
into
the
middle
of
a
pandemic.
It's
wrong.
It's
unconscionable
and-
and
I
will
not
allow
dhhr
to
be
used
as
a
political
tool,
primarily
our
for
the
governor
and
our
staff.
The
governor
doesn't
deserve
to
have
dhhr
used
as
a
political
tool
against
him.
I
know
of
no
other
governor,
that's
done
more
to
protect
the
elderly
population,
the
nursing
home
population
in
in
the
country.
We
have
done
everything
that
we
could
do
as
rapidly
and
as
quickly
as
we
could
do
it
again.
G
G
G
People
are
getting
sick,
people
are
dying,
more
west
virginians
are
dying,
as
the
governor
said,
asking
our
staff
to
take
hours
and
hours
of
time
to
go
through
files
and
and
and
try
to
justify
what
they've
done
or
or
provide
support
and
documentation
for
what
they've
done
is
sometimes
necessary.
Sometimes
it's
not
again.
Our
regional
epidemiologists
have
some
of
the
toughest
jobs
in
the
state
right
now,
they're
under
great
pressure
to
do
the
right
thing.
G
In
this
case
they
did
do
the
right
thing,
so
I
have
nothing
but
praise
for
our
staff,
and
I
also
again
want
to
thank
the
princeton
healthcare
center.
They
did
everything
right
and
I
understand
wanting
to
do
more.
I
I
understand
that,
but
we
we
did
do
what
needed
to
be
done.
The
first
first
two
positives
were
taken
care
of
and
and
followed
appropriately,
and
then
there
was
another
based
upon
travel
from
outside
the
area.
As
the
governor
says
from
down
south,
we
had
another
positive
case.
G
So
again
our
numbers
are
going
up,
hospitalization
is,
is
creeping
up,
deaths
are
creeping
up.
The
only
way
we're
going
to
get
through
this
pandemic
is
working
together.
Local
health
departments
facilities
like
princeton
healthcare,
center,
correctional
facilities,
rehabilitation
facilities.
We
have
group
homes
with
outbreaks.
We
have
a
tremendous
we're
approaching
200
outbreaks
in
the
state
of
west
virginia,
so
we
need
assistance
for
cooperation
from
everyone
and
we
try
to
be
cooperative
so
again.
B
H
Well,
thank
you
and
it's
good
to
be
with
everybody.
I
will
keep
my
comments
short
in
the
time
of
this
press
briefing.
Our
new
rt
value
came
back
our
reproductive
number
and,
as
the
governor
said,
it
had
been
won,
but
today
it's
0.97,
so
we've
gone
from
red
to
green
on
that
on
that
assessment
tool
and-
and
that's
gives
us
encouraging
hope
for
a
a
reduction
in
the
future
of
some
of
these
cases.
We
know
that
that
number
tends
to
precede
the
number
of
cases
number
of
hospitalizations.
H
H
Long
term,
with
people
infected
with
covet
and
we're
particularly
worried
about
our
young
people
that
have
tended
to
be
the
source
of
of
this
expansion.
The
the
one
thing
I
will
say
that
I
think
is
really
important.
People
have
noticed
in
the
in
the
news:
there's
been
more
and
more
reports
of
of
smaller
outbreaks,
you
know
of
a
hundred
people
or
so,
and
some
of
the
countries
that
have
been
very
committed
to
wearing
masks,
and
some
people
have
interpreted
that
interpreted
this
to
say:
well,
mass,
don't
really
work.
H
H
B
All
right,
thank
you,
dr
marsh
major
general
hoyer,
with
the
west
virginia
national
guard
and
dr
ein
amjad.
Our
state
health
officer
are
also
joining
us
today
and
are
available
for
questions
we'll
now
go
to
questions
from
members
of
the
media.
The
first
today
is
from
kenny
bass
with
wchs
and
fox
11.
E
E
Did
those
play
any
role
in
how
you
guys
attended
to
the
problem
in
princeton
with
the
facility
there,
because,
obviously,
those
two
situations
and
really
every
situation
in
nursing
homes
in
west
virginia
has
been
handled
very
differently
than
how
jackson
county
was
handled
and
just
as
a
follow-up?
How
close
are
we
to
getting
the
final
report
on
what
happened
in
jackson
county
when
we
can
figure
out
what
the
administration
has
discovered
about
that?
Thank
you.
A
You
know,
I
totally
understand
I
totally
understand
when,
when
the
outcomes
are
not
just
perfect
from
not
from
the
standpoint
of
what
we
did
or
what
we're
our
people
are
doing,
but
from
the
standpoint,
if
the
outcomes
are
very
unfortunate
and
you
you
basically
have
people
die
or
you
have
the
the
spread,
significant,
then
really
and
truly
you
know
I
would
be
in
the
same
boat.
I
would
be
one
that
would
be
saying
you
know.
A
A
A
Other
extenuating
circumstances
are
happening:
additional
infections
that
are
coming
from
additional
places
and
and
all
that
additional
curveballs
are
coming.
But
if
secretary
crouch
is
exactly
right,
then
what
we
need
to
do
is
we
need
to
absolutely
understand
that
these
great
people
from
the
health
situation,
from
from
all
the
the
local
health
departments,
to
the
to
the
dhhr,
to
the
guard,
to
everybody,
they
can't
be
expected
to
be
perfect.
They're
not
going
to
be
perfect.
A
You
know
they're
not
going
to
be
perfect
in
the
final
outcome.
They
may
do
every
single
thing
just
perfect,
but
in
in
in
this
situation
you
know
as
far
as
testing
and
everything
the
situations
that's
going
on
at
princeton
and
jackson
county
is
very
difficult
to
compare.
It's
a
lot
lot
different
animal,
but
dr
secretary
krause,
if
you'll
take
over
please.
G
Yes,
sir
governor,
thank
you
kenny,
I'm
happy
to
respond
to
that.
First
of
all
it.
The
last
thing
I
mentioned
in
talking
about
princeton
was:
we
have
to
have
cooperation.
We
have
to
work
together
in
in
these
situations.
Princeton
was
absolutely
totally
cooperative
in
their
efforts
with
regard
to
to
testing
and,
in
fact
wanted
to
test
more
when
when
it
was
not
not
indicated,
it
was
a
different
situation.
In
jackson,
I
spoke
to
the
administrator
just
a
few
days
before
they
did
do
the
testing.
The
governor's
order
is.
G
G
That's
when
we
we
had
an
official
order
to
test
everyone
prior
to
that
nursing
homes
were
our
private
entities
and
they
made
decisions
whether
or
not
to
test,
and
in
fact
prior
to
the
order
they
had
to
pay
for
that
testing,
so
that
that
impacted
some
providers,
some
operators
owners
decisions,
whether
to
test.
Clearly,
if
you
had
a
positive
in
a
facility,
you
have
to
test
some
facilities
were
only
testing
one
wing,
so
it
did
change
the
governor
took
a
hold
of
that
situation
and
and
said
we're
going
to
test
everybody.
G
If
we
have
one
positive
in
a
facility,
we
will
test
everyone
in
terms
of
dhhr,
not
providing
information
of
the
governor.
I
take
great
exception
to
that
kenny.
That
is
not
true.
It
absolutely
is
not
true
and
any
indication
that
I
didn't
follow.
The
governor's
orders
is
totally
false,
totally
false,
in
fact,
the
the
memo
or
the
email
that
you
waved
on
the
screen
that
had
two
highlights
on.
It
also
had
the
number
of
positive
cases
by
staff,
the
number
of
positive
cases
for
the
residents
or
the
patients
in
that
facility.
G
That
was
dated
the
13th.
It
had
a
a
huge
amount
of
information
with
regard
to
what
was
going
on
in
jackson
county,
so
that
was
sent
to
to
brian
abraham
and
greg
kerry.
So
I
tried
to
make
sure
the
governor's
office
was
was
up
to
date
on
what
was
going
on
in
jackson
county.
That's
her
job
so
again
happy
to
discuss
that
in
any
any
detail
you
would
like.
I
was
not
asked
to
be
interviewed
for
the
for
the
story
you
did
there
is.
There
are
clearly
information.
G
There
is
clearly
information
out
there
that
shows
what
we
did
to
try
to
communicate
with
the
governor,
but
the
bottom
line
here
is
the
governor
really
saw
this
as
as
a
reason
to
take
take
this
situation
in
hand.
He
entered
into
an
order
from
that
point
forward.
We've
led
the
country
in
terms
of
testing,
nursing
homes
and
making
sure
nursing
home
residents
are
safe
in
this
state
and
and
employees
as
well.
So
thank
you.
I
Hi,
this
is
charles
young,
with
wp
news
governor,
given
the
fact
that
the
numbers
continue
to
rise
all
of
these
metrics
that
we're
looking
at
continue
to
worsen.
At
what
point
are
you
going
to
consider
reimposing
restrictions
such
as
further
lowering
the
public
gathering
limit
reinstating
the
mandatory
quarantine
from
people
coming
out
of
state?
At
what
point
do
we
need
to
take
some
steps
backwards?
Thank
you.
A
Charles
it's
it's.
This
is
a
ongoing
process
without
any
question,
we're
watching
the
numbers
and
we're
watching
every
day
and
we're
consulting
with
all
the
experts
and
we're
doing
we're
doing
any
and
everything
that
is
within
all
of
my
capabilities
of
mental
capabilities,
physical
capabilities.
You
know,
contacts
everything
that
I
know
we
can
do
now.
Charles
without
any
question.
A
A
That's
why
I've
said
over
and
over.
We
don't
need
to
be
republicans
and
democrats.
I
don't
care
about
the
election
process
and
everything
right
now.
We
don't
need
to
be
republicans
independents
and
democrats.
We
need
to
be
west
virginians
and
every
last
one
of
us
in
regard
to
this
need
to
be
pulling
the
rope
together.
A
A
A
We
were
trying
to
do
it
within
the
guidelines
and-
and
you
can't
really
fault
that
we
were
trying
to
do
it
in
a
way
that
was
different
than
what
I
wanted
to
have
it
done.
But
in
regard
to
princeton,
absolutely
to
my
knowledge
and
everything
I
know
we
did
what
we
were
supposed
to
do
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
just
that.
J
A
Okay,
dave,
let
me
let
me
try
to
answer
this.
I
think
I
can
answer
it
quickly.
I
think
we
have
two
hotlines
already
set
up,
they've
been
set
up,
you
know,
and
and
and
one
at
the
auditor's
office
and
one
that
is
a
you
know,
a
problems
hotline
here
in
our
office.
You
know,
please
let
people
know
to
call
those
hotlines
if
they've
got
a
problem
and
and
and
I
understand
from
the
standpoint
of
of
oasis,
we
have
staffed
up
additional
people
there.
A
A
Just
call
us
we'll
walk
you
through
it,
we'll
get
it
done
and
and
and
and
I
don't
care
if
we
got
to
have
you
know
two
or
14
or
25
whatever
we
got
to
have
to
help
our
people
to
be
able
to
understand
and
be
able
to
get
qualified
and
get
these
dollars
out
to
them.
You
know
just
we'll
do
whatever
we
have
to
do.
K
Good
afternoon,
governor
and
cabinet
and
fellow
reporters
governor,
as
you
probably
know,
your
opponent,
political
opponent,
ben
solango,
held
a
news
conference
this
morning,
and
he
says
there
continues
to
be
a
discrepancy
in
the
numbers
of
active
cases
or
reported
cases.
He
said
in
tanak
county
this
morning.
There
are
approximately
303
cases.
The
number
you
gave
was
277..
A
Well,
mark
I
I
would
tell
you
just
this:
you
know
there
was.
There
was
more
things
than
just
that
and
and
from
a
standpoint
of
competence
in
everything
I
feel
like
that
we
had
to
move
and
we
moved
in
the
proper
way
there,
but
as
far
as
kanawha
county-
and
you
know
there-
there
are
issues
with
the
kanawha
county.
A
You
know
having
problems,
you
know
moving
stuff,
you
know
within
you
know,
and
maybe
our
secretary
can
can
better
explain
the
kanawha
county
discrepancies
and
everything
he
can
do
that
better
than
I
or
or
dr
amjohn
could
do
it.
You
know
our
dhhr
and
guard
are
trying
very,
very
hard
to
work
with
them
and
they're
they're
great
people
they're
doing
a
great
job
and
everything
we've
just
got
some
kind
of
lag
and
some
kind
of
disconnect
there.
A
A
I
am
very
supportive
of
them
and
I
want
us
to
true
up
in
everything
as
best
we
possibly
can,
but
the
situation
there
is
way
way
way
insignificant
to
the
situation
with
situations
that
were
going
on
before
but
mark
you
know
to
answer
your
question
even
more
bluntly
and
everything
you
know
for
for
this
to
turn
into
you
know
I
mean
my
political
opponent
is
looking
for.
You
know
just
grabbing
at
straws
and
everything
this
doesn't
need
to
be
this,
I
mean
for
crying
out
loud.
A
L
A
Secretary
krauss,
let
me
let
me
just
say
just
just
this:
you
know
I
was
listening
to
secretary
crouch,
he's
trying
really
really
hard
to
give
you
a
timeline.
It
gets.
It
gets
confusing
it's
confusing
to
listen
to
secretary
crouch
and
listen
to
all
the
different
stuff
that
all
the
health
people
and
everything
are
going
through,
and
it's
confusing
even
to
me
you
know,
but
from
my
standpoint
it
is
just
as
simple
as
mud
and
that's
all
there
is
to
it.
A
If
we
have
one
person,
one
person
in
a
nursing
home
test
positive,
we
need
to
be
running
to
that
nursing
home.
That's
all
there
is
to
it.
I
think,
in
this
situation
you
know
that
the
secretary
could
speak
for
himself
and
everything
and
speak
for
what
we
did.
But
from
my
standpoint
I
don't
know
how
to
be
more
emphatic
and
more
absolutely
on
point.
If
we've
got
one
person,
we
need
to
go
and
we
need
to
go
right
then,
but
secretary
krauts
go.
G
Yes,
sir
governor
and-
and
that
is
what
we
did-
thank
you
brad.
Let
me
see
if
I
can
make
this
a
little
simpler
and-
and
it
is
complicated,
these
these
investigations
and
these
the
contact
tracing,
that's
done
to
make
sure
we
understand
who
might
need
to
be
who
might
need
to
be
tested
or
who
might
need
to
be
isolated.
G
G
They
wanted
to
do
their
own
testing
at
7
00
a.m.
The
following
morning,
which
was
july
1,
they
tested
everyone.
One
additional
case
was
identified
on
july,
4th
additional
isolation
that
individual
was
was
asked
to
go
home.
So
that's
the
only
case.
You
really
need
to
consider
if
you
look
at
our
14-day
window,
where
we
have
somebody
isolate
or
self-quarantine
for
14
days.
G
If
they're
asymptomatic
moves
to
a
recovered
case,
it
could
actually
be
sooner,
but
we
do
14
days
like
I
believe,
that's
so
cdc
guidelines,
so
that
case
that
that
we
were
watching
really
ended
around
the
15th
of
july
and
remember.
The
next
positive
case
was
the
17th
of
july,
so
it
was
unrelated.
The
contact
tracing
identified
that
source
as
a
travel
as
a
situation,
someone
traveling
from
down
south
unrelated
to
the
first
case.
G
So
if
we
had
seen
a
need
to
test
on
the
seventh
and
the
date
of
the
seventh
kept
coming
up
as
we
the
nursing
home
wanted
to
test
further,
we
didn't
even
have
all
the
test
results
in
from
the
testing
done
on
july,
1st
they've
got
some
on
the
fourth.
They
got
some
and
we
got
those
as
well
on
the
fourth
and
then
all
of
those
results
on
the
seventh
so
to
turn
around
and
test
again
on
the
seventh.
G
When
we
just
got
the
results
in
and
we
have
one
asymptomatic
employee
who
has
been
sent
home,
we
did
the
testing
for
that
and
the
epidemiologists
wanted
to
watch
that
and
see
what
happened.
That
was
the
right
decision.
Dhhr
did
everything
right.
It
was
the
second
case
on
on
the
17th,
that's
that
was
from
a
different
source.
So
I
hope
that
clears
that
up.
It's
really
two
two
different.
You
can
consider
it
two
different
outbreaks
from
that
standpoint.
Certainly
the
sources
for
each
of
those
positive
cases
came
from
different
different
people.
A
Brad,
let
me
let
me
add
one
more
thought
and-
and
you
know
I
love
listening
to
our
experts,
especially
from
the
medical
field,
because
you
know
they're
on
a
different
plane,
probably
than
I
am
you
know
from
the
standpoint.
They're
they're
super
smart.
They
absolutely
you
know
are
dedicated
to
their
profession.
A
They
are
trying
as
hard
as
they
can
to
answer
your
questions
and
dot
every
eye
and
cross
every
t,
sometimes
really
and
truly
their
extreme
intellect
gets
in
the
way,
because
it
makes
it
difficult
for
any
of
us
to
understand
as
their
process,
but
thank
god
for
them,
thank
god
for
the
science
and
all
the
stuff
that
they
do.
But
I
can
tell
you
this
in
the
princeton
situation.
The
way
I
see
the
bottom
line
is
just
this.
We
have
now
tested
since,
since
that
first
initial
notification
we
have
tested.
A
I
think
we
are
on
the
fourth
go
round
of
testing.
You
know
from
from
the
standpoint
of
testing
the
entire
population
there
or
they're
close
to
that,
and
everything
and
understand
also
that
this
works
through
this.
This
works
first
through
the
health
departments
there
and
then
it
flow
and
as
it
flows
it
flows,
then
through
our
dhhr
and
then
through.
All
the
effort
of
the
guard
and
everything
that's
going
on
that
to
me
is
is
the
bottom
line.
The
bottom
line
to
this
thing
is:
if
you'll
just
follow
the
follow
the
whole
process.
M
Hey
good
morning,
everyone
I'm
also
a
little
confused
about
the
princeton
healthcare
situation,
because
it's
been
said,
the
argument
in
the
press
is
inaccurate,
but
phcc
itself
in
their
daily
covet
updates,
say
they
haven't
received
any
assistance
from
the
state
other
than
education
and
ppe.
So
are
they
going
to
be
receiving
assistance
when
it
comes
to
testing,
or
can
they
expect
that
like?
What?
What
can
they
expect?
What
are
they
going
to
get.
A
Okay,
wait
time
out
time
out,
I'm
going
to
defer,
but
just
time
out
I
mean
crying
out
loud.
I
have
said
this
14
times
now.
You
know
what
do
you
mean
all
that
they've
received?
They
didn't
they've
received
some
ppe
and
they've
and
they
haven't
haven't
even
received
whatever
and
everything
for
crying
out
loud
we've
got
people
that
are
covering
up
that
place
doing
testing,
and
this
is
on
the
fourth
go
round,
but
nevertheless
you
know
please,
you
know
dr
amjad
or
or
or
secretary
krauts
or
prosecutor
or
dr
martial
answer.
G
Yes,
sir
governor,
this
is
bill
again.
We
I
couldn't
quite
hear
all
of
that
question,
but
but
we
do
we,
our
documentation
is,
is
much
better
than
it
was
when
we
started
we
contact
facilities
the
day
of
the
outbreak
and
and
we
offer
services.
We
we
offer
ppe
through
the
guard,
and
we
coordinate
very
well
with
the
guard
to
make
sure
that
that
they
have
what
they
need
to
do
that
we
have.
G
G
We
are
trying
to
coordinate
this
and
doing
a
a
we're
doing
a
good
job
at
that,
and-
and
I
will
say
again,
I
want
to
thank
the
guard
because
they're
a
big
huge
part
of
this
in
terms
of
delivering
supplies,
we
had
a
we
had
a
as
an
example.
We
had
a
lab
who
who
was
supposed
to
overnight
supplies,
and
we
had
an
issue
with
that.
G
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
they
did
not
get
over
and
overnighted
and
did
not
get
there
when
they
were
supposed
to
the
guard,
picked
up
supplies
and
drove
those
two
to
the
facility.
So
we're
doing
things
like
that
to
try
to
do
what
we
can
to
make
sure
that
things
get
done.
The
fact
that
that
didn't
happen.
We
changed
our
policy
so
that
now
we
have
a.
We
make
a
call
to
make
sure
when
something
when
supplies
were
supposed
to
be
overnighted
or
test
kits,
we
call
to
make
sure
they
got
there.
G
N
Yes,
sir
governor,
I
had
to
get
it
off
mute
sorry.
So
on
monday
we
were
contacted
by
the
governor's
office
to
assist
dhhr
in
addressing
the
situation
in
princeton.
We
made
contact
with
the
folks
at
the
nursing
home
in
dhhr
that
next
morning,
on
tuesday,
it
was
determined
that
the
nursing
home
had
the
appropriate
number
of
people
to
do
the
testing
and
swabbing
that
they
needed.
N
But
in
the
afternoon
it
was
determined
that
the
national
guard
would
then
provide
ppe
supplies
which
went
out.
I
believe
that
day
and
the
next
morning,
ppe
training
support
to
the
nursing
home
facility
that,
next
day,
on
wednesday
today,
there
are
members
of
the
national
guard.
Subject
matter
expert
team
at
the
facility
walking
through
the
facility
with
the
folks
at
the
facility
to
look
at
other
things
that
could
be
done
in
the
future
related
to
environmental
issues.
B
O
Yes,
steve
adams
of
augusta
newspapers
here
going
back
to
the
cares,
act
funding
for
for
a
tiny
bit.
I
know
the
line
that
keeps
being
said.
I
think,
from
senator
manchin
and
and
from
from
your
opponents.
Lango
is
focusing
on
the
45
percent.
That's
supposed
to
go
to
cities
and
counties.
They
kind
of
make
that
out
to
be
a
requirement.
O
I
sort
of
I'm
under
the
understanding
that
that
is
a
not
a
requirement,
a
recommendation
and
considering
the
amount
of
money
that's
gone
out
and
the
number
of
applications
that
have
come
in
so
far
it
would
seem
that
that
would
be
a
hard
target
to
hit
anyway.
So
I
guess
my
question
would
be
I
mean
you've
read
the
u.s
treasury
requirements.
You've
got
people
advising
you
on
that.
Are
you
supposed
to
be
giving
this
money
out?
O
Basically,
you
know
in
big
tranches
to
every
county
and
every
city
in
the
state
or
or
obviously
you
guys
are
doing
the
application
process
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
all
the
reimbursements
are
reported.
So
is
you
know
which
way?
Is
you
know?
How
are
you
supposed
to
be
doing
that
versus
what
they
say,
you're
supposed
to
be
doing
it?
Thank
you.
A
It
is
beyond
belief
in
experience
of
a
of
a
young
guy
that
doesn't
have
a
clue
in
the
world.
What
he's
talking
about
you
know
from
the
standpoint
of
center
mansion.
You
know
it
is.
It
is
basically
what
I
said
already
before
it
is
it
is.
It
is
trying
to
perpetuate
you
know,
selango's
gubernatorial
campaign.
A
The
bottom
line
of
the
whole
thing
is
just
this:
there
are
rules
out
there.
There
are
rules
that
counties
have
to
apply
and
guidelines
on
what
they
have,
how
they
can
receive
dollars.
Absolutely
from
the
standpoint
of
the
45
percent.
That's
out
there
as
a
as
a
potential
per
se
guideline.
It
is
not
a
rule.
I
mean
for
crying
out
loud
and
central.
Mansion
knows
all
this.
We
know
all
this,
you
know
absolutely
you
see
what's
happening
with
other
states
all
across
our
country
from
the
standpoint
of
the
treasury.
A
You
know
treasury
report
that
just
came
out
west
virginia
ranks.
Fourth
in
the
nation,
in
pumping
the
money
out
on
the
cares
act
to
where
we've
sent
the
dollars,
and
we
continue
to
do
just
that.
You
know
we
can't
send
the
county
something
you
know
just
bundles
of
money
because
per
se
somebody
on
the
outside
may
say
well,
why
don't
you
just
send
you
know
why
don't
you
send
kanawha
county?
You
know
182
million
just
for
fun.
They've
got
to
meet
certain
guidelines
and
that's
what
we
do.
That's
what
this
thing's
all
about.
A
The
report
clearly
says
that
joe
do
your
job
in
washington
make
it
I
mean
I
have
fleeted
over
and
over
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
backfill
revenue.
We
have
asked
over
and
over
and
over,
to
do
all
kinds
of
different
things
like
that.
We
can't
do
that
right
now,
joe,
that
you
know
that
you
know
the
rules.
I
mean
for
crying
out
loud
stephen.
It
is
the
silliest
questions
in
the
world.
That's
why
to
me
it's
nauseating.
It
is
absolutely
nauseating,
because
it's
political,
it's
all
political,
that's
what
it
is
stephen.
A
We
had.
Five
more
people
die
today,
stephen,
absolutely
west,
virginia's
numbers
are
still
tracking
in
not
a
great
way.
Stephen
we've
got
people
that
are
sitting
around
right
now
that
don't
know
what
they're
going
to
do
from
the
standpoint
that
they're
waiting
for
their
unemployment
and
those
people
in
dc
can't
get
it
across
the
finish
line.
Stephen
tell
them
to
do
their
job.
A
A
Just
do
our
jobs
just
do
our
jobs
and
our
job
is
number
one
to
do
any
and
everything
we
possibly
can
to
help
serve
west
virginians.
You
know
I
mean
come
on
stephen
jamie
to
christmas.
You
know
you
and
I
both
know
exactly
what
the
problems
are.
You
know
they
need
to
do
their
job
in
washington
and,
if
they're
not
going
to
do
their
job,
there's
no
point
in
them
running
the
political
campaign
in
their
state.
You
know
it's
not
not
what
we
ought
to
be
doing.
A
A
A
A
A
I
don't
know
what
else
we
can
do
other
than
shut
stuff
down
and
put
you
back
in
your
houses
and
all
of
us
stay
there
and
then
it'll
get
somewhat
better.
It
won't
get
completely
better
and
we'll
sit
there
and
devastate
our
economy
and
devastate
our
finances
personally
and
we'll
sit
there
and
absolutely
just
wither.
A
A
When
I
tell
you,
the
only
thing
I
want
is
goodness
for
west
virginians
and
all
this
great
state
it
is
legitimate
to
god
above
absolutely
west
virginians.
Please
know
that
I
care
about
you.
I
love
you
and
absolutely
I
just
want
goodness
for
us,
and
I
want
to
try
to
protect
you
with
all
my
heart.
I
wish
to
god
above
we'd,
stop
this
crazy
politics
stuff.
It's
not
good
for
us,
it's
not
helping
us,
but
nevertheless
I
would
say
to
you:
wear
your
mask.
Look
out
after
the
elderly.
