A
All
right:
well,
I
think
we've
hit
115,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
get
going.
Welcome
everybody
to
our
weekly
recap
of
things
going
on
with
covid19
here
in
the
city
of
bloomington
monroe,
county,
indiana,
university,
health
and
indiana
university,
I'm
chuck
carney,
director
of
media
relations
for
iu.
We
will
begin
with
opening
comments.
First
from
mayor
john
hamilton,
thanks.
B
A
lot
good
to
be
with
everybody
you
know
in
the
city,
we
have
been
very
transparent
about
what's
going
on
with
our
employees.
Through
this
whole
affair,
we've
dealt
with
in
part
and
belief
that
we
should.
We
should
do
all
we
can
to
reduce
stigma
or
shame
and
also
just
to
be
open
as
a
public
employer.
B
I
continue
to
report
that,
including
this
is
our
fourth
week
in
a
row
with
no
positive
cases,
so
we're
very
happy
about
that
and
487
employees
have
filed
for
the
100
wellness
benefit,
so
we're
nearly
up
to
500,
but
it
also
means
this
week.
B
We
we
just
learned
officially
formally
of
the
first
time
that
we
know
an
employee
passed
away
from
covid,
so
I
do
want
to
note
that
they
are
not
identified
by
name
out
of
respect,
of
course
and
confidentiality,
but
in
the
vein
of
continuing
to
reveal
that
that
reminds
us
that
this
disease
is
still
very
much
among
us
and
can
be
dire
and
can
bring
terrible
consequences
like
that.
So
I
just
want
to
express
our
sympathy
and
condolences
to
family
members
and
also
just
a
reminder,
and
one
reason
for
this.
B
B
I
do
know.
Indicators
generally
continue
to
improve
and
we're
very
pleased
with
that
locally.
So
far
as
I
know-
and
I
know
we'll
get
the
data
on
that,
but
it's
also
an
important
reminder
to
note
that
our
state
indiana
lags
within
the
nation
we're
among
the
bottom
dozen
or
so
states
in
terms
of
vaccination
rates.
B
One
example
there
are
different
measures
of
that.
I
know,
but
with
the
goal
set
of
trying
to
get
every
adult
in
america
with
at
least
one
vaccination
shot
that
the
national
average
reports
at
about
64
not
quite
to
the
70
percent
goal
by
july
4th.
Yet,
though,
on
the
way
nation
at
64
percent,
the
state
of
indiana
at
54,
so
10
percentage
points
behind,
and
that
has
impact
on
us
and
it
means
we
need
to
really
pay
attention
and
continue
to
encourage
our
friends
and
neighbors
and
family
members
to
get
vaccinated.
B
I
will
express
again
thanks
to
indiana
university
and
iu
health
who've,
taken
important
and
very
helpful
steps
to
assure
many
many
tens,
tens
of
thousands,
many
thousands
of
people
will
be
vaccinated
in
our
community
and
we
greatly
appreciate
that
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
questions
but
again,
vaccinate
vaccinate.
Vaccinate!
That's
how
we
get
out
of
this
of
this
challenge.
Thanks.
C
Good
afternoon
today
I
want
to
kind
of
do
a
look
back
and
kind
of,
as
we
start
focusing
on
the
future
and
continue
to
do
that.
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
look
at
not
only
where
we
are
today
that
which
we
do
every
day
every
week,
but
also
talk
look
at
where
we
have
been.
We
do
remain
in
a
blue
advisory.
So
that's
some
good
news.
The
color
coded
metrics
map
that
we
refer
to
there
and
that
advisory
came
in
late
fall.
So
I'm
just
going
to
go
back
that
far
for
a
measure.
C
In
november
of
2020
we
were
in
yellow
status.
We
had
154
cases
per
100
000
and
a
2.68
positivity
rate
february,
2nd
of
2021.
We
were
in
yellow
at
171
per
hundred
thousand
cases
and
a
2.85
positivity
rate
by
february
24th.
We
remained
in
that
yellow
advisory,
but
we
had
numbers
in
that
blue
level.
We
were
at
88
per
hundred
thousand
and
we
had
a
positivity
rate
less
than
one
percent.
C
In
march
24th
we
were
at
94
per
100
000,
so
we
were
inching
back
up
and
by
march
31st
we
were
back
to
yellow
at
128
cases
per
hundred
thousand
on
may
12th
of
this
year
we
were
in
yellow,
but
blue
numbers
at
62.1,
62
per
100,
000
and
1.36
positivity
rate
on
may
26,
41
cases
per
100
000
and
a
3.64
positivity
rate.
Today
we
have
28.28
per
100,
000
and
2.62
positivity
rate,
so
we
have
seen
some
changes.
What
changed
over
that
time?
C
In
december,
we
had
vaccine
come
the
picture
that
we're
seeing
has
been
changing
because
of
vaccinations.
We
talk
about
that
every
single
week
about
how
important
it
is
to
be
vaccinated
and
what
our
numbers
look
like.
As
vaccination
numbers
increase
disease,
especially
severe
disease
and
deaths,
have
decreased,
they
haven't
went
away,
but
they
have
decreased.
C
Vaccines
are
working
along
with
our
prevention
measures.
Today,
monroe
county
has
52.8
of
our
eligible
residents.
Community
members
who
are
fully
vaccinated
and
53.1
have
received
a
first
dose
now,
that's
good
news.
We
have
a
ways
to
go,
we're
not
where
we
want
to
be.
That's
not
the
end
number.
We
want
to
see,
but
it
it
is
progress,
and
we
continue
to
make
that.
C
Two
weeks
ago
I
challenged
our
zip
code
areas
that
we
have
that
metrics
map
with
zip
codes
and
what
the
vaccinations
are,
and
I
challenged
all
those
areas
to
make
sure
that
we
were
all
blue
and
as
dark
blue
as
possible.
Today,
that
map
indicates
that
all
of
the
major
zip
code
areas
are
in
blue.
We
have
at
least
46
fully
vaccinated
in
those
areas.
Now
I
have
to
admit
in
full
disclosure.
We
do
have
some
pockets,
some
small
zip
code
areas
that
are
less
than
that.
C
C
I
hope
that
we
can
all
get
there
and
continue
to
increase
those
numbers.
We
continue
to
do
outreach
so
far.
We
have
done
over
49
outreach
clinics,
as
well
as
our
site
at
iu
at
assembly
hall.
We
will
be
at
the
juneteenth
events,
so
we'll
be
there
with
vaccinations
as
well.
We
did
finish
up
at
the
convention
center
this
past
week
and
I
have
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
to
the
convention
center
and
the
staff
there,
as
well
as
all
of
the
volunteers.
C
So
thank
you
for
helping
us
these
past
six
months
with
that
we're
very
appreciative
what
else
has
changed
during
that
time,
testing
has
changed
when
the
pandemic
hit
more
than
a
year
ago,
indiana
worked
diligently
to
build
testing
capacity
so
that
hoosiers
with
symptoms
of
covid19
could
take
appropriate
actions
to
prevent
further
spread
of
illness.
A
key
part
of
those
efforts
was
to
secure
optimum
serve
testing
sites,
and
that
was
part
of
the
strategic
plan
that
the
state
health
department
had
and
they
put
those
in
every
county.
C
C
The
need
for
testing
has
dropped
in
february
optum
sites
we're
seeing
about
50
people
a
day
in
may
around
30
a
day
and
those
are
generalization
numbers
so
sometimes
in
the
upper
30s,
sometimes
a
little
lower
than
that.
We've
also
seen
the
optum
site
at
the
armory
have
to
close
during
the
warm
summer
seasons
when
the
heat
was
extended.
C
C
As
a
result
of
these
changes,
the
indiana
department
of
health
did
decide
to
end
the
partnership
with
optum
and
those
sites
will
close
by
december
by
december.
Excuse
me
by
june,
30th
sites
will
be
decommissioned
in
phases,
and
the
the
monroe
county
site
will
end
its
last
day
will
be
june
18th
and
it
will.
The
last
appointment
will
be
around
11
or
12..
C
We
are
very,
very
grateful
for
optim's
work
to
expand
testing
in
indiana
and
in
monroe
county
as
more
people
are
vaccinated.
There
is
less
need
for
testing
and
that's
what
we're
seeing
if
vaccinated
and
exposed
you
only
need
to
monitor
for
symptoms
if
symptoms
develop,
then
you
schedule
a
test.
Tests
are
available
in
a
variety
of
places.
Private
providers,
pharmacy
clinics
and
even
some
over-the-counter
costs
do
vary.
Insurance
can
cover
many
of
them,
but
costs
do
vary
so
want
to
to
just
remind
people
of
that.
The
takeaway
from
all
of
this
is
simple.
C
C
It
is
the
unvaccinated
individuals
who
still
need
to
quarantine
if
they
are
exposed,
it
is
unvaccinated
individuals
who
still
need
to
be
wearing
a
mask
and
socially
distancing.
So
the
answer
is
very
simple:
please
be
vaccinated.
We
have
opportunities
for
that.
Masks
are
still
required
in
certain
situations.
C
Public
transportation
is
one
example,
and
if
you
are
traveling
pay
attention
to
requirements
in
terms
of
the
transportation
that
you
are
using,
if
you
are
traveling
outside
the
continental
us,
you
may
be
required
to
take
a
test
prior
to
departure.
So
please
check
with
your
airline.
If
you're
going
by
flight,
make
sure
that
you
know
what
it
is.
You
need
to
do
so
that
you
can
secure
that
testing
that
you
need
our
community
site
on
morton
street
does
have
rapid
antigen
testing
for
symptomatic
individuals,
not
for
asymptomatic,
so
I'm.
C
C
A
All
right,
I'm
glad
to
say
I'm
in
a
winning
zip
code
according
to
what
you
just
reported
there.
So
I'm
very
proud
of
that.
So
let's
next
go
to
the
monroe
county
board
of
commissioners
and
julie,
thomas.
D
Hi
everyone
thank
you
chuck,
just
a
quick
note
that
the
monroe
county
board
of
commissioners
just
completed
the
last
round
of
cares
funding.
These
are
grant
funds,
not
loans
to
social
service
agencies
and
businesses
in
the
community
who
need
assistance,
and
this
week's
total
was
two
hundred
eighty
eight
thousand
forty
three
dollars,
but
that
brings
our
grand
total
between
2020
and
2021
of
just
cares
dollars
to
businesses
and
social
service
organizations
to
1
million
394
793.
D
So
we're
really
proud
of
working
with
the
council
on
that.
Also
people
are
still
in
need
and
we
have
provided
funds
with,
along
with
the
county
council
for
the
township
trustees,
the
township
assistance
fund
wraps
up,
though
at
the
end
of
june.
So
if
you
have
are
struggling
to
pay
for
any
of
your
basic
necessities,
please
contact
your
township
trustee.
D
We've
now
allocated
125
000
for
this
fund
and
every
resident
of
the
county,
whether
they
live
in
a
city,
town
or
rural
area
lives
in
a
township.
So
please
ask
for
help.
If
you
need
it,
I
had
a
great
day
today.
That's
why
I'm
wearing
still
wearing
my
shirt
from
at
the
hoosier
hills.
D
Food
bank,
at
their
fresh
friday
event,
packing
vehicles
with
fresh
food
and
produce
for
information
on
the
next
one
of
these
they're
about
every
two
weeks
or
so
in
summer,
go
to
hhfb.org
for
that
information
and
we
are
still
holding
all
of
our
county
meetings
virtually,
but
we
are
ready
to
go
with
hybrid
meetings,
beginning
july
or
as
soon
as
the
governor's
order
lapses,
and
when
that
happens,
we
still
because
we
still
are
in
a
pandemic.
D
We
still
encourage
people
to
attend
meetings
virtually,
but
you
will
have
the
option
to
attend
in
person
as
well,
but
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out,
but
that's
it
for
me
happy
to
take
questions
thanks.
Everyone
give
that
community.
E
Thank
you
chuck.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
Most
of
you
know
that
I
love
national
days
and
celebrate
as
many
as
possible.
Today
is
a
good
day
for
us.
It's
making
national
making
life
beautiful
day,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
of
the
media
who
have
continued
to
be
with
us
these
15
months,
as
well
as
with
each
of
the
stakeholders
here,
but
most
of
all
how
you
can
really
make
a
difference
and
make
life
beautiful
is
to
get
vaccinated,
and
that
would
be
a
thing
you
could
do
today.
E
You
could
just
go
anywhere
they're,
giving
vaccines
and
walk
right
up
and
get
yours
over
the
past
few
days,
we've
seen
continued.
Basically,
stagnation
in
our
numbers.
We
keep
bouncing
around
those
double
digits
and
just
can't
get
below
a
blow
to
those
single
digits
of
inpatients,
either
here
in
the
region,
with
all
of
our
hospitals
or
with
monroe
county
as
well.
E
If
you
start
on
the
left
side
of
your
of
the
graph
here,
you
can
see
that
as
the
vaccines
exponentially
increased
the
infection
rate
and
the
number
of
inpatients
has
decreased
dramatically
as
well,
and
then,
as
we
go
to
may
and
june,
we
see
that
stagnation
we've
been
talking
about
that.
Our
vaccine
numbers
have
continued
to
stay
relatively
flat
in
the
number
of
vaccines
we're
giving
per
day
and,
as
a
result,
our
inpatients
and
those
getting
infected
and
getting
sick
requiring
hospitalization
continues
to
remain
flat.
The
answer
get
vaccinated.
E
E
We
administered
our
first
covet
19
vaccine
on
december
21st
at
our
bloomington
clinic,
and
it's
a
bittersweet
to
share
today
is
the
last
day
of
our
clinic
at
the
medical
arts
building.
You
know
when
you're
in
the
crisis,
you
you
get
that
adrenaline
and
you
build
up
familial
relationships
and
so
ceremonially
closing
that
site.
Today.
I
can't
thank
all
of
our
team
members
and
volunteers
that
have
supported
the
clinic
over
the
last
six
months.
Enough
they've
played
an
instrumental
role
in
getting
our
community
to
a
safer
place.
E
We
appreciate
indiana
university's
role
in
continuing
to
support
the
community
through
the
vaccines
and
I'm
sure
kirk
will
share.
They
have
plenty
of
capacity,
as
I've
mentioned
over
the
last
month.
Our
focus
on
the
vaccine
remains
in
our
outreach,
as
well
as
our
operationalizing
the
vaccine
across
our
iu
health
facilities.
E
A
number
of
our
iu
health,
southern
indiana
physicians
offices
will
be
offering
walk-in
coveted
vaccinations
and
we
will
be
sharing
additional
information
on
our
website
and
social
media
where
all
of
those
sites
are
where
you
can
still
get
your
vaccine
and
where,
as
you
go
for
your
regular
doc,
regular
doctor's
appointment,
we
will
have
that
available
to
you.
So,
as
I
end
my
remarks,
I
want
to
thank
those
that
have
made
the
right
choice
to
get
their
covet
19
vaccine.
F
Well,
good
afternoon,
chuck
and
team
good
to
see
everybody
today,
as
I've
reported
throughout
the
past
year,
our
on
our
mitigation
testing
plan
and
how
that's
continuing
to
be
implemented.
This
past
week,
we've
tested
1219
of
our
students,
faculty
and
staff
for
covid19,
and
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
the
numbers
are
so
low.
F
It's
hard
to
even
imagine
that
we're
at
the
zero
I
know,
point
zero,
eight
positivity
rate,
that's
only
one
or
two
people
that
tested
positive
out
of
that
whole
full
list
of
of
mitigation
tests
this
week.
So
we've
made
some
great
progress.
I
think
a
lot
a
lot
due
to
the
the
high
vaccination
rates
that
are
going
on
and
speaking
of
vaccinations
we're
now
up
to
over
38
000
doses,
administered
at
simon
scott
assembly
hall
at
our
vaccination
site
that
is
open
to
the
public.
F
We
do
encourage
everybody
to
come
on
by
we've
got
walk-in
availability
or
if
you
want
to
register
ahead
of
time,
please
go
to
ourshot.in.gov
and
get
your
information
loaded
beforehand.
It
goes
a
little
faster
that
way,
but
we've
got
plenty
of
vaccine
and
plenty
of
seats
plenty
of
great
vaccinators.
F
I
think
you'll
find
it
a
pleasant
experience,
so
we
encourage
you
to
drop
by
and
and
get
vaccinated
during
the
days
that
it's
open.
F
Speaking
of
of
of
vaccines
and
and
and
compliance,
our
incentive
drawing
program
is
going
very
well.
We
had
yesterday
our
first
drawing
of
the
various
prizes
for
those
who
have
submitted
their
documentation
about
their
vaccination
status,
and
we
sure
appreciate
that
that
has
now
led
us
to
really
a
daily
increase
in
the
amount
of
vaccine
of
certifications
and
documentation.
F
That's
been
submitted
so
that
we're
getting
a
better
idea
about
how
many
of
our
students,
faculty
and
staff
are
vaccinated
and
that's,
like
I
say
it's
been
increasing
by
about
a
percentage
point
a
day
here
recently,
and
we
think
that
in
about
a
month,
if
things
continue
on
this
path,
we
think
overall,
the
student,
faculty
and
staff
numbers
will
be
will
be
at
a
70
compliance
rating
and
that
will
get
us
where
we
need
to
be
in
that
in
that
that
concept
of
herd
immunity-
and
we
feel
very,
very
good
about
the
trajectory
that
we're
on
president
mcrobbie
was
able
to
report
some
of
this
progress
earlier
today
at
the
board
of
trustees
meeting
and
we're
very
happy
with
with
this
progress
and
speaking
of
of
the
fall
and
how
we're
we're
getting
ready
for
that.
F
With
this
upward
trajectory
of
vaccinated
individuals,
we
expect
to
be
back
to
normal
operations,
and
I
I
really
believe-
and
president
mcrobbie
mentioned
this
morning-
that
that
we'll
have
a
successful
fall
semester.
We're
we're
quite
on
track
for
that,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
this
is
is
due
to
the
the
the
great
work
by
everyone
in
our
community
from
city
government
to
our
local
healthcare
community.
To
what
are
my
colleagues
at
the
university
have
been
able
to
do
and
our
friends
at
county
government
throughout
our
business
and
industry.
F
Even
I
think
that
vote
of
confidence
is
is
turning
out
to
be
proven
by
the
fact
that
we're
on
track
for
a
record
level
of
undergraduate
and
graduate
enrollment
for
the
fall.
This
fall
we're
looking
at
35
000
undergraduates.
That's
a
six
percent
increase
from
from
last
year,
a
record
level
freshman
class
of
9
300,
which
is
a
17
increase
from
last
year
and
we're
not
seeing
people
say
well.
If
I
have
to
get
vaccinated,
I'm
not
coming.
F
That's
just
not
happening
we're
hearing
that
people
are
pleased
that
we
have
that
that
that
requirement
in
place
our
students,
faculty
and
staff
majority
of
them
are
telling
us
that's
exactly
what
they
wanted
to
be
safe
and
so
we're
very
pleased
about
where
we're
looking
for
the
fall
and
how
this
is
going
to
bring
bring
us
back
to
being
able
to
achieve
our
our
teaching,
research
and
service
missions
at
the
bloomington
campus
and
really
throughout
the
state
as
well.
F
And
finally,
let
me
just
close
with
with
my
congratulations
and
that,
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
to
president
mcrobbie
and
the
first
lady
laurie
burns
mcrobbie,
who
were
presented
the
university
medal,
both
of
them
were
individually
this
morning
at
the
board
of
trustees
meeting
for
their
their
great
accomplishments
for
our
community
during
their
tenure
as
president
and
first
lady
of
the
university,
and
we
we
salute
them,
as
as
we
will
over
the
next
few
weeks
and
congratulate
them
on
a
great
term
of
service.
A
C
Yes,
the
optum
site
and
the
community
testing
site
both
are
free
that
the
state
has
been
funding
those
testing
sites
and
if
you
go
to
private
facilities,
that
will
the
cost
may
vary.
So
if
you
have
insurance
insurance
can
be
billed
for
it,
places
that
are
part
of
the
federal
testing
program.
Then
the
va,
then
that
will
still
be
a
free
test,
but
that
isn't
true
everywhere.
So
you'll
need
to
check
that.
C
I
would
remind
people
that
the
department
of
health's
web
page
for
testing
still
has
a
map
across
the
state
with
where
testing
sites
are
available,
and
that
will
remain
there.
So
even
as
optum
sites
are
decommissioned,
they
will
come
off
of
that
list,
but
there
are
still
plenty
of
opportunities
to
get
a
test.
If
you
need
one.
A
This
question
also
from
dave
askins
thrown
out
for
anybody
here,
as
mayor
hamilton,
pointed
out.
Indiana
is
lagging
behind
other
states
for
vaccinations,
but
it's
not
like
monroe
county
is
somehow
bucking
that
trend
in
a
dramatic
way
any
ideas
about
what
is
up
with
hoosiers.
On
our
lack
of
enthusiasm
penny
you
want
to
start
there.
C
I
will
start,
I
think
it's
probably
the
million
dollar
question.
If
I
had
the
the
real
answer
to
that
and
could
resolve
it,
I
I
might
be
able
to
retire
tomorrow,
but
for
one
you
know
the
state
early
on
got
vaccine
and
got
vaccine
out
very
quickly,
and
then
the
state
ran
into
an
issue
with
getting
vaccine.
C
C
C
And
then,
when
it's
available
you
get
that
initial
surge
and
then
there
starts
to
be
this
waning
effect
and
we
have
to
work
harder
to
to
get
people
the
information
and
the
education
that
they
need
to
help
them
realize
that
this
is
a
safe
and
effective
vaccine
and
it
is
for
the
greater
good
of
our
community
to
be
vaccinated.
C
So
I
don't
have
any
big
answers
to
that.
We
continue
to
do
outreach.
We
want
to
make
it
as
easy
for
people
to
get
as
possible.
That's
part
of
why
the
push
going
forward
is
also
to
get
vaccine
out
to
providers
so
that
people
have
it
when
they
go
see
their
primary
care
provider
that
they
can
ask
them
if
they've
been
vaccinated
and
if
not
they
can
get
their
questions
answered,
get
that
vaccine
right.
Then
we
have
assembly
hall
which
is
easy
to
access
and
get
to,
but
we
continue
these
outreaches.
C
C
So
my
hands
are
tied
there.
If
I
could,
I
would
probably
try
to
come
up
with
some
way
to
give
a
little
bit
of
an
incentive
as
well.
But
I
want
to
my
incentive
is
to
say
thank
you
to
those
who
have
been
vaccinated
and
to
say
that
if
you
want
to
get
back
to
normal,
the
way
to
do
it
is
to
get
vaccinated.
A
B
Maybe
that's
somewhat
true
at
the
state
level
too,
I'm
not
sure,
but
I
mean
I
think
it
just
has
to
be
noted
too,
that
it's
unfortunate
the
vaccinations
have
become,
have
been
and
continue
to
be
somewhat
related
to
politics,
which
is
terribly
unfortunate
instead
of
just
science
and
and
kind
of
logistics,
of
getting
the
vaccines
into
arms.
B
So
we
can
see
that
if
you
look
at
the
states
that
are
the
greatest
lowest,
numbers
of
vaccinations
are
aligning
with
more
conservative,
politically
and-
and
that's
really
unfortunate,
because
we
all
should
deserve
we'd
all
deserve
the
vaccine
and
should
get
it
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
move
forward
with
that.
But
it's
it
is
a
mystery
and
and
penny.
I
wish
you
know.
If
any
of
us
could
figure
it
out,
we
would
all
we
would
all
be
moving
ahead.
B
A
A
question
from
ethan
burks
wfiu
wtiu,
going
back
to
those
rates
for
penny
with
the
county's
vaccination
rate,
just
over
50
percent.
How
long
do
you
think
it
would
take
to
reach
the
desired
70
to
75
percent
threshold,
and
is
there
a
certain
local
age
group,
particularly
falling
behind
in
vaccinations.
C
C
C
The
you
know
the
biggest
groups,
the
highest
percentage
groups
are
the
oldest
individuals,
but
they've
also
been
eligible
longer
and
so
just
making
sure
that
we
continue
to
get
everybody
who's
eligible
vaccinated.
But,
right
now
those
numbers
are
among
the
people
who
have
been
eligible.
The
least
amount
of
time.
F
Yes,
we'll
continue
mitigation
testing.
This
fall
for
those
who
have
received
an
exemption
on
religious
or
medical
reasons
or
those
that
we,
we
don't
believe
are
vaccinated.
So
we'll
continue
the
mitigation
testing,
because
that's
what
was
successful
for
us
this
past
year
in
being
able
to
identify
outbreaks
quickly
and
get
those
that
are
infected
into
quarantine
or
isolation
or
their
closed
contacts,
of
course
in
quarantine.
F
So
that
was
successful
and
it
allowed
us
to
maintain
safe
operations
this
past
year.
We'll
continue
that
into
the
fall.
A
Dave
again
for
kirk,
could
you
give
us
some
details
on
when
the
weekly
drawing
for
prizes
is
held
and
how
randomness
of
the
selection
is
insured
and
he
further
asks?
Is
it
a
digital,
computery
kind
of
system,
or
is
it
more
like
drawing
pieces
of
paper
out
of
a
hat
and
there's
some
other
questions
I'll
I'll
throw
in
there?
After
that,.
F
Okay,
let's
see
the
we
do
use
a
random
program
that
our
universal
information
technology
services
department
has
put
together.
So
it's
it's
a
random
drawing
of
the
of
the
database
that
that
has
the
folks
that
have
submitted
their
documentation.
F
We
do
a
drawing
every
thursday
at
first
one
yesterday
and
the
last
one
will
be
july
1st.
So
if
you
didn't
win,
you'll
be,
of
course
back
in
the
you'll
stay
in
the
pool,
and
this
includes
everyone-
who's
submitted
their
documentation,
even
if
you
did
it
way
back
in
january,
you're,
you're
still
in
so
you're
still
eligible
and
we're
we're
looking
forward
to
continuing
this.
Since
it's
been
successful
and.
A
He
further
asks
about
how
many
people
registered
for
the
drawing
in
the
first
week,
and
I
guess,
as
you
said,
that
includes
not
just
people
who
have
just
now
uploaded.
It
would
be
people
like
me
way
back,
although
I
think
I
may
be
ineligible
if
I
am
drawn,
but
if
people
way
back
who
submitted
their
cards.
So
any
idea
on
that
number.
F
No,
I
don't
have
that
number
handy,
but
you're
exactly
right,
as
I
mentioned,
doesn't
matter
when
you
turn
them
in.
You
can
turn
them
in.
If
you
turn
it
in
january
or
you
do
it
tomorrow,
you're
going
to
be
eligible
for
the
drawing
again
next
thursday.
A
Not
eligible,
I'm
not
sure,
I'm
not
getting
that
apple
watch.
There's
no
way,
and
you
answer
the
other
question:
if
someone
registered
but
did
not
win,
are
they
automatically
eligible
next
week
or
do
they
have
to
re-enter
they
are
automatically
eligible?
And,
yes,
I
am
hoping
for
these
cicada
cicada
defense
tool,
which
would
I
think
it's
some
sort
of
flame
thrower.
As
I
understand
it,
it's
the
only
real
defense.
So
no
other
questions
in
the
hopper
at
the
moment.
A
A
So
we
are
approaching
two
o'clock
but
have
just
a
minute
more
I'll
vamp
for
just
a
second
here
and
see
if
we
have
any
other
questions
to
come
in
under
the
wire
going
once
and
going
twice
so
with
no
other
ones.
We
will
call
it
a
day
there
and
I
wish
everybody
a
happy
weekend
and
we
will
see
you
next
week.
