So
thanks

for

and
we'll
begin
with
mayor
hamilton,.
A
Thanks
very
much
everybody,
it's
been
a
very,
very
busy
extraordinary,
10
days,
appreciate
being
together
again,
of
course,
the
center
for
disease
control's
announcement
of
last
week,
which
we
just
kind
of
got
to
digest
in
in
time.
For
this
meeting
last
week,
the
lifting
of
local
orders
as
of
monday
this
week,
I
think
administrator
caudle
put
it
very
well
when
she
said
it's
good
to
remember
how
complicated
it
was
getting
into
this
pandemic
and
dealing
with
it
last
spring.
A
It's
likely
going
to
be
quite
complicated,
getting
out
of
it
too,
and
indeed
it
it
seems
to-
and
I
think
you
put
that
very
well.
We
appreciate
the
county's
health
messages
that
continue
to
come
out
that
we
are
not
out
of
the
woods,
keep
protecting
each
other,
but
also
recognizing
some
really
important
steps.
We're
celebrating
just
sharing
quick
stats,
and
one
thing
I
just
noted
a
state
stat
that
I
thought
I'd
share
five
months
ago.
A
A
We
we
have
now
we
have
had
407
employees,
who've
applied
for
the
wellness,
100
benefit
indicating
full
vaccination,
and
this
week
we
had
zero
employees
test
positive.
So
we're
pleased
with
that.
We
are
retaining
at
the
city
level,
the
basic
protections
of
masking
and
distancing
for
our
employees,
basically
in
the
workplace,
we're
continuing
to
review
that
as
we
go
kind
of
in
the
evolution,
not
revolution
as
we
evolve
through
time.
We
are
opening
up
facilities,
for
example,
a
week
from
tomorrow,
the
swimming
pools
public
pools
will
open
recall
they
were
closed.
A
Last
year
a
week
from
today,
this
brake
pad
at
switch
yard
park
will
open
our
employees
will
continue
their
protocols.
We
will
continue
to
inform
the
public
the
importance
of
continuing
to
protect
each
other
if
you're
not
vaccinated.
The
farmer's
market
tomorrow,
for
example,
will
be
an
unlimited
number,
but
we'll
continue
to
encourage
the
masking
that's
a
tricky
balance,
but
we'll
keep
working
on
that.
I
want
to
close
with
recognition.
A
We
amid
this,
these
positive
steps.
We
know
the
disease
is
very
real
and
very
much
here
and
still
has
high
stakes,
and
I
know
from
iu
health
we'll
hear
numbers
about
what
their
experience
is,
we're
not.
We
are
not
done
and
out
of
the
woods
and
last
comment,
I
just
want
to
particularly
thank
indiana
university
for
their
very
important,
courageous,
historic
step
announced
this
morning.
I
know
kirk
white
will
give
more
details
about
that.
A
I
think
in
many
ways
that
may
be
the
single
most
important
action
to
help
this
community
recover
and
not
simple,
not
easy,
perhaps
with
challenges
we
would
would
expect,
but
on
behalf
of
the
city,
I
just
want
to
applaud
and
thank
indian
university
and
give
great
appreciation
for
this
step.
Indeed,
the
collaboration
through
all
the
years
so
to
president
mcrobbie
to
provost,
rubell
and
kirk
white
to
you
as
well
for
all
your
work
and
for
for
taking
this
step
to
protect
our
community.
I
want
to
express
thanks
and
back
to
you
yaya.
C
Thank
you
and
you
know
what
what
a
good
introduction
mayor
we
certainly
have
continue
to
have
lots
going
on
and
some
concerns
that
remain
and
yet
good
things
happening.
We
continue
to
get
some
questions
about
the
the
lifting
of
the
order
and
confusion
and,
as
as
you
mentioned,
it
was
confusing
last
spring
and
summer
when
we
mandate
started
and
they're
going
to
continue
to
be
a
little
bit
confusing.
C
So
I,
the
board
of
health,
did
put
out
a
statement
just
trying
to
reiterate
recommendations,
and
so
I
would
say,
first
and
foremost,
new
cdc
guidance
is
for
fully
vaccinated
individuals.
You
are
unvaccinated,
even
though
the
mandate
may
have
been
lifted.
You
should
still
be
wearing
a
mask
and
distancing.
So
if
you
don't
want
to
do
that,
the
key
the
key
step
is
to
make
that
appointment
and
be
vaccinated.
C
C
So
I'm
very
pleased-
and
I
and
I
ask
you
to
continue
to
do
that-
businesses
are
continuing
to
adapt
as
they
look
to
expand
their
services
again
and
again,
I'm
observing
some
being
very
creative
and
looking
at
how
can
we
expand
and
still
keep
safety
in
place?
I
will
also
say
I've
observed
some
places
where
I'm
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
how
quickly
they're
moving
back
right
and
so
as
patrons
we
will
have
to
decide.
C
Are
we
comfortable
going
in
to
a
facility
whether
it's
retail
food,
whether
it's
just
a
retail
shop
who
is
acting
like
this,
is
2019,
or
are
they
easing
back
into
how
they're
setting
up
do
they
still
have
their
tables
set
six
feet
apart?
While
it
may
not
be
a
mandate,
it's
still
certainly
a
recommendation.
C
C
Studies
are
showing
that
the
vaccines
are
over
90
percent
effective
in
the
real
world
setting.
So
we
knew
that
they
had
a
high
effectiveness
rating
in
studies,
but
we
are
seeing
that
hold
true
in
the
real
world.
They
are
good
at
preventing
mild
and
severe
disease
hospitalizations
and
deaths.
If
fully
vaccinated,
you
are
less
likely
to
spread
the
virus
and
growing
evidence
suggests
less
likely
to
have
symptomatic
infection
and
be
able
to
transmit
it.
So
those
are
hopeful
things
that
the
data
is
telling
us
some
benefits
of
vaccination.
C
C
If
you
are
fully
vaccinated,
your
odds
are
one
in
50
394
and
if
you
are
unvaccinated
one
in
525,
that's
a
reason
in
my
mind
to
be
vaccinated.
There
are
breakthrough
cases,
and
that
is
what
we
term
we
use
to
talk
about.
People
who
are
fully
vaccinated
and
may
still
become
infected
breakthrough
cases
are
0.053
percent
of
individuals
who
are
fully
vaccinated.
C
So
the
chances
of
those
breakthrough
are
very
small.
They
do
happen
of
those
who
need
hospital
care.
It
is
a
fraction
of
a
percent
so
less
than
one
percent.
So
again
we
know
that
breakthrough
cases
occur.
We
know
that
severe
disease
or
need
for
hospitalization
can
still
occur,
but
your
best
prevention
for
that
your
is
to
be
vaccinated.
C
There
is
information
now
on
the
on
breakthrough
cases
on
the
state's
dashboard.
So
if
you're
interested
in
that,
that
is
something
that
you
can
follow.
Monroe
county
vaccination
numbers
as
of
today,
we
have
46.8
of
our
12
people
12
and
over
vac,
fully
vaccinated
and
50.
50.8
percent
have
received
a
first
dose.
So
we
continue
to
see
our
vaccination
rates
climb
and
we're
happy
about
that,
and
we
encourage
you
to
make
sure
that
you
are
part
of
that
solution
and
encouraging
everybody.
You
know
to
be
vaccinated.
C
C
We
have
staff
that
will
be
at
smithville
farmers
market
on
may
29th
from
8
to
12..
We
will
be
at
the
community
kitchen,
we
will
be
at
ivy
tech
on
june
3rd.
We
have
lots
of
other
outreaches
planned
that
we
will
talk
to
you
about
in
the
coming
weeks,
dave
even
dating
apps.
I
received
this
this
morning
from
kathy
hewitt,
our
pio
and
even
dating
apps
are
getting
into.
C
Are
you
vaccinated
or
not,
as
they
start
to
match
people
up
so
whether
or
not
you've
been
vaccinated
is
certainly
taking
over
as
a
conversation
piece,
our
metrics.
For
this
week
we
are
in
a
blue
advisory,
our
positivity
rate
was
1.47
and
we
had
46
cases
per
hundred
thousand.
So
we
hope
that
those
numbers
continue
to
be
in
a
in
a
good
positive
light.
C
C
Lastly,
I
want
to
talk
about
our
staff
and
volunteer
hours.
I've
mentioned
how
grateful
we
are
for
not
only
our
staff
but
for
volunteers,
medical
reserve
corps
and
how
we
could
not
do
this
without
them,
our
staff,
each
the
health
department
and
our
public
health
clinic
staff
have
each
put
in
over
a
thousand
hours
at
our
clinics
at
our
primary
clinics.
I'm
not
talking
about
their
normal
work
outside
of
that.
C
C
B
Thank
you
penny.
That's
a
lot
of
numbers,
but
those
are
some
impressive,
volunteer
numbers.
It
really
has
been
such
a
community
effort
thanks
for
sharing
that
and
that
information
about
vaccinations
and
how
effective
they
are.
We
go
next
to
the
monroe
county
board
of
commissioners.
President
julie,
thomas.
D
Hi
everyone.
I
will
start
off
where
penny
left
off,
which
is
with
thank
yous.
I
am
proud
to
be
wearing
my
health
ems
shirt
today
to
honor
national
ems
week
may
16th
to
22nd
the
theme,
caring
for
our
communities
and
just
a
huge
thank
you
from
the
board
of
commissioners
to
all
of
the
emts
and
paramedics
we
have
across
the
county
and
their
hard
work
that
they've
done
throughout
the
pandemic
and
on
every
other
occasion
they
are
amazing.
They
respond
they
support
and
they
always
care.
D
I
do
want
to
add
the
thanks
to
the
clinic
staff.
Medical
reserve
corps,
all
those
volunteers
who
helped
make
our
vaccine
clinic
so
successful,
and
thank
you
to
ms
caudle,
the
health
board,
dr
sharp,
for
organizing
anything
and
keeping
us
on
task,
just
a
reminder
for
county
residents
who
may
be
struggling
to
pay
for
basic
necessities
due
to
job
loss
or
hours
cut.
I
recommend
that
you
contact
your
township
trustee.
We
have
worked
with
the
county
council
board
of
commissioners.
D
Together,
have
worked
on
providing
township
assistance
funding
and
that
funding
is
from
the
cares,
money
and
so
contact
your
trustee.
Every
resident
of
the
county,
no
matter
where
you
live,
has
a
township
trustee.
So
please
contact
them.
If
you
are
struggling,
they
are
there
to
help.
They
have
a
lot
of
resources,
not
just
the
township
assistance
fund
to
offer.
D
We
are
grateful
to
iu
for
their
recent
decision.
I'm
sure
mr
white
will
be
talking
about
that
and
also
just
a
quick
reminder
that
to
stay
on
top
of
any
changes
in
the
health
order,
announcements
of
open
clinics
and
things
like
that.
Also,
emergency
emergencies
related
to
weather.
Please
sign
up
for
the
resident
alert.
D
It
is
on
the
home
page
at
ceo.monroe.in.us.
Just
click
through
sign
up.
You
can
receive
text
or
email
or
phone
call
when
there's
any
emergency
and
any
change
to
our
health
order.
You
could
see
for
those
of
you
who
are
active
on
resin
alert,
you've,
probably
seen
some
great
information
being
pushed
through
about
the
health
orders
and
that's
important
for
everyone
to
have
access
to.
D
E
Thanks
lyell
yeah
I'd
like
to
just
piggyback
right
on
what
commissioner
thomas
mentioned
with
it
being
ems
week.
I
remember
when
we
first
started
out
in
this
pandemic.
Early
on.
You
know
we
quickly
had
meetings
with
them
and
helped
get
supplies,
and
you
know
when
everybody
was
was
super
fearful
of
covid
and
not
knowing
what
to
expect
or
what
the
next
day
would
bring.
E
E
Thank
them
enough
for
all
that
they
did
in
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
what
they
do.
Every
day
day
in
and
day
out,
we
do
have
two
blood
drives
scheduled
for
may
they
are
the
24th,
which
is
our
daytime
drive
and
the
27th,
which
is
our
evening
drive.
We
also
have
two
scheduled
in
june
and
two
scheduled
in
july.
E
So
if
that's
something
that
you
can
in
fact
make
a
donation
for,
I
would
encourage
you
to
hop
to
our
county
website
at
co.monroe.ian.us
and
check
the
dates
and
then
hop
right
over
to
the
redcross.org
website
and
make
an
appointment
as
we
are
continuing
to
make
them
covered
prepared,
and
so
we
will
continue
with
the
appointments,
even
though
the
mask
mandate
has
been
lifted.
We'll
still
do
that
for
those
safety
of
those
individuals
that
are
willing
to
make
the
donations.
E
I
would
like
to
just
piggyback
again
on
what
commissioner
thomas
said
and
mentioned
that
we
are
continuing,
as
these
drives
come
available,
our
pop-up
test,
our
pop-up
clinics,
or
anything
that
might
be
new
or
exciting
with
our
testing
sites.
Any
of
that
information
is
sent
out
via
the
everbridge
system.
So
she
did
inform
everybody
how
to
get
signed
up
for
that.
We
do
have
that
also
on
our
local
emergency
management
page
on
how
to
get
signed
up.
F
Thank
you
yale,
and
yes,
it
is
a
happy
ems
week
to
so
many
kelly
mullis
our
director
of
emergency
medical
services.
Here
in
this
region.
We
just
thank
her
and
her
team
for
their
leadership
and
all
of
those
who
are
our
first
responders.
I
do
remember
celebrating
and
mentioning
this
week,
a
year
ago,
when
we
were
in
the
thick
of
it
and
as
alison
said
they
were
those
fearless
people
who
led
the
fight.
So
thank
you
all.
F
Now,
more
than
ever
over
the
past
week,
our
number
of
south
central
region,
coveted
19
inpatients,
continues
to
climb,
especially
at
iu
health,
bedford
there
in
monroe
county
between
iu
health,
bloomington
and
monroe
hospital.
It's
the
same
story.
We
continue
to
see
increases
in
those
who
are
sickest
and
require
inpatient
care.
I
can't
express
to
you
enough.
The
key
part
of
the
rescinded
order
was
the
removal
of
mass
for
those
that
have
been
fully
vaccinated.
F
F
F
While
we
work
to
increase
vaccine
rates,
please
consider
to
wear
your
mask
when
out
in
public
or
around
people
who
don't
live
with
you
or
aren't
completely
vaccinated.
This
includes
the
two-week
waiting
period
after
your
last
dose.
It
would.
I
would
also
like
to
note
that
the
recent
cdc
guidelines
around
making
masking
for
fully
vaccinated
individuals
does
not
apply
to
hospitals
or
health
care
facilities.
F
F
Iu
health
remains
committed
to
doing
our
part
to
put
covid
behind
us
by
increasing
vaccination
rates.
As
I
shared
last
week,
we
are
continuing
our
focus
over
the
coming
weeks
on
community
outreach,
around
vaccines
and
operationalizing
vaccines
into
our
facilities
for
the
longer
term
future,
while
our
bloomington
site
administered
their
last
first
dose
last
week,
you
will
continue
to
see
the
number
of
vaccines
we
report
decrease,
as
we
are
only
sharing
the
numbers
for
the
paoli
and
bloomington
community
clinics.
F
However,
as
kirk
has
mentioned,
they
continue
to
have
more
and
more
opportunity
for
people
to
get
vaccines
at
simon
scott
assembly
hall.
Through
yesterday,
we
have
administered
over
86
500
vaccines
at
the
two
clinics
in
the
south
central
region.
Please
get
vaccinated.
I
will
take
questions
at
the
end.
G
G
G
G
I'd
say
that
over
the
past
year
the
university
has
really
taken
a
very
forward
approach
to
mitigating
the
the
spread
of
this
this
pandemic,
and
it's
because
of
that
because
of
this
strong
leadership
and
our
determination
to
keep
our
population
safe,
that
we've
been
able
to
be
recognized
as
one
of
the
really
the
top
six
percent
of
of
universities
for
our
efforts
in
testing
and
and
maintaining
a
safe
environment,
and
that's
the
reason
that
we've
taken
this
next
step.
Remember:
a
person
is
fully
vaccinated
for
two
weeks.
G
Now
we're
going
to
have
an
exemption
process,
but
I'm
going
to
have
to
say
that
that's
going
to
be
a
really
tight
exemption
process,
it
will
be
for
very
limited
religious
reasons
or
medical
reasons.
It'll
be
much
more
restrictive
than
our
flu
vaccine
exemptions
that
we
had.
Last
year,
so
this
exemption
process
there
will
be
more
details
about
that
posted
june,
the
15th,
but
just
let
me
say
that
that
it's
going
to
be
a
very
restrictive
exemption
scenario,
so
you
should
plan
to
get
vaccinated.
G
Frankly,
we're
going
to
take
a
very
restrictive
stand
on
this.
If
you
are
not
vaccinated
as
a
student,
your
registration
for
classes
will
be
canceled,
you
will
not
have
access
to
a
normal
campus
operations,
residence
hall
or
classes
or
anything
else,
and
the
same
is
true
for
our
employees.
This
will
become
a
condition
of
employment
for
having
your
vaccine
series
completed.
G
G
That
has
been
our
goal
all
throughout
this
year
and
we've
been
successful
doing
it,
we've
been
able
to
keep
our
communities
safe,
we've
been
able
to
continue
campus
operations
and
though
we've
been
been
very
conservative
in
how
we've
approached
the
vaccine
and
aggressive
in
the
way
that
we've
attacked
it.
That's
what's
kept
us
in
business
and
we
think
will
continue
to
allow
us
to
operate
as
normal
as
possible
in
this
coming
academic
year.
G
G
Certainly,
this
vaccine
requirement
is
a
big
part
of
our
restart
processes
and
and
and
procedures
that
we'll
have
for
the
fall,
and
those
will
include
guidelines
for
masking
physical,
distancing
and
other
activities
on
the
campus,
but
for
the
most
part
with
with
everyone
vaccinated
or
the
majority
of
our
population,
we
will
be
back
to
as
normal
as
possible
and
that's
where
we
need
to
be
I'll.
Be
ready
for
questions.
Thank
you.
B
And
there
are
quite
a
lot
of
questions
coming
in
after
that
momentous
announcement.
Kirk
one
of
them
is
from
coming
from
facebook
asking
how
how
is
iu
going
to
verify
if
students
are
are
vaccinated
enough
or
whether
the
vaccination
card
is
forged?
Is
there
any
specific
verification
method,
or
is
it
just
the
honor
system.
G
G
B
Thanks
and
we
should
reiterate
that
this
expectation
will
be
for
students,
staff
and
faculty,
not
just
students,
that's
correct
right,
so
one
more
for
kirk
and
then
we'll
move
on
this
one
comes
from
ethan
burks
at
wfiu-wtiu,
who
asks
about
a
very
specific
and
beloved
event.
Given
the
recent
cdc
guidelines
and
nationwide
increases
in
attendance
at
outdoor
sporting
events,
why
are
parents
and
fans
still
not
allowed
to
watch
next
week's
little
five
race
in
person.
B
C
B
Someone
who
was
counted
in
the
last
few
months
as
a
vaccinated
county
resident
but
has
left
town
because
they
graduated
from
college,
will
be
over
counted
so
in
the
fall.
An
iu
freshman
who's,
not
even
a
resident
now,
is
going
to
arrive
as
fully
vaccinated
and
will
not
appear
in
our
county
resident
count
of
fully
vaccinated
people,
so
they
will
be
undercounted
even
though
they
live
here.
Looking
ahead
to
the
fall,
how
are
we
going
to
try
and
measure
the
percentage
of
people
in
monroe
county
who
are
vaccinated?
C
So
if
we
can
focus
over
the
next
even
few
months
with
really
where
are
we,
there
are
always
people
who
come
and
go,
who
move
into
our
community
who
move
out
and
we're
going
to
always
have
that
for
any
kind
of
vaccination
rate
that
we're
looking
at.
So
it
is
never
going
to
be
an
exact
science.
It's
always
going
to
to
be
an
estimate,
and
that's
where
looking
at
the
county,
looking
at
the
state
and
looking
at
the
national
numbers
can
make
a
difference.
F
No
just
just
a
comment
that
you
know
everyone
getting
vaccinated,
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
who
comes
into
our
county
or
who
doesn't
come
into
our
county
or
leaves
our
county,
and
you
know,
iu.
Making
this
step
in
the
right
direction
for
mandatory
vaccine
is
a
step
in
the
you
know.
It
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
B
Thank
you
all
right.
Next
up
a
question
from
dave,
askins
of
b-square
beacon
for
mayor
hamilton,
house,
bill,
1405,
says
the
state
or
a
local
unit,
can't
issue
or
require
a
vaccine
passport.
Even
though
there's
no
denying
that
bloomington
is
a
local
unit.
Can't
the
city
still
require
a
vaccination
for
its
employees,
because
requiring
a
passport
doesn't
seem
like
it's
the
same
thing
as
requiring
the
vaccine.
A
Well,
I'll,
add
it
to
my
list
of
bills.
I
wish
had
not
been
passed.
That's
getting
big
here,
but
I
I
and
I
will
be
cautious
in
saying
I'm,
not
the
city's
lawyer
but
you're
right
dave.
We
agree
that
bloomington
as
an
employer,
the
city
of
bloomington,
as
an
employer,
we
believe,
could
require
vaccination
as
a
condition
of
employment.
A
As
you
know,
to
date,
we've
instead
pursued
a
a
an
incentive
program
with
a
hundred
dollars
for
vaccines
and
we're
pleased
to
see
now
over
400
people
doing
it,
and
I
think
the
step
by
iu
to
plant
the
flag
out
there
is
really
important
and
perhaps
may
be
significant
to
other
employers.
We'll
have
to
look
at
that,
but
I
agree.
I
believe
we
agree
with
your
interpretation
of
that
statute,
that
it
does
not
stop
us
as
an
employer
from
doing
that.
B
Great
all
right
next,
we'll
hear
from
the
ht
a
question
for
everyone,
or
perhaps
more
more
directly,
for
kirk
white
from
boris
ladvig,
who
who
says
that
the
news
release
from
iu
states
that
faculty
and
staff
who
choose
not
to
meet
the
requirement
will
no
longer
be
able
to
be
employed
by
iu.
So
how
is
that
going
to
affect
tenured
professors?
What's
the
timeline
as
to
when
employees
will
be
fired
if
they
refuse
getting
vaccinated.
G
We're
going
to
give
our
employees
plenty
of
good
time
to
get
this
requirement
taken
care
of.
We
hope
that
they'll
do
that
and
we
won't
get
to
this
type
of
situation,
but
the
the
announcement
this
morning
is
is
very
clear
that
employment
at
the
university
is
going
to
be
contingent
on
having
this
done,
and
there
are
various
regulations
and
other
other
ways
that
this
could
be
discussed
in
terms
of
grievances
and
things
like
that.
But
the
university
feels
like
we
have
a
that.
B
C
Well,
I
will
start,
I
guess
somebody's
got
to
go
first
right.
It
is
a
good
question
dave,
it's
one
that
I
know
internally.
We've
been
talking
about
and
up
until
right
last
week
we
hadn't
been
getting
a
lot
of
questions,
and,
and
so
we
will
have
to
rethink
about
whether
or
not
we
need
to
have
these
weekly,
whether
we
need
to
go
start
going
every
other
week
once
a
month.
What
have
you-
and
certainly
you
know-
I
think
this
group
would
probably
be
agreeable
to
doing
some
in
terms
of
collective
topics
where
they
cross
jurisdictions.
A
I
think
that
was
well
answered.
We
love
spending
time
with
each
other
as
you,
as
you
probably
know,
we
meet
off
camera
if
you
will
regularly
too
to
coordinate
because
it's
been
an
exceptional
15
months
or
whatever,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
everybody
for
the
time.
These
are
all
busy
people
and
I
think
it's
been
really
important
to
share
this
health
related
news
every
week.
That's
a
good
question.
As
the
health
related
news
diminishes
god
willing,
creek
don't
rise.
All
this
goes
well.
That
will
be
great.
A
If
we
get
to
a
point
where
we
say:
okay,
we
don't
need
to
do
these
health
things
and
then
talk
about
what
might
be
next.
I
don't
know
if
I
don't
know
if
brian
shockney
is
going
to
want
to
talk
about
you
know
whatever
I
don't
know,
fire
policies
in
the
city
or
or
kirk
white
talk
about.
You
know
the
convention
center,
who
knows
but
we'll
we'll
it's
been
a
pleasure
doing
this
and
and
let's
hope,
let's
hope,
we'll
get
to
a
point
pretty
soon
when
we
can
say
this
isn't
needed.
G
You
know
from
the
university
perspective
what
we
found
is:
we've
had
good
success
because
we've
been
able
to
communicate
regularly
and
extensively
and
keep
this
as
transparent
as
possible.
It
was
a
new,
a
new
experience
for
all
of
us
and
there
were
new
questions
that
arose
every
day,
particularly
as
as
research
changed
as
cdc
guidance
changed
as
new
developments
and
opportunities
occurred.
G
F
Everyone
has
shared
freely
the
resources
and
we've
been
able
to
combine
our
resources
to
make
a
significant
difference
in
the
lives
of
our
community
and
the
communities
around
us,
and
I
agree
with
everything
that's
been
said.
Without
this,
we
would
not
have
learned
and
been
able
to
work
together
as
well.
E
I
would
just
echo
that-
and
I
would
add
that
you
know
we
always
try
to
look
for
the
positive
in
negative
things,
and
I
would
say,
even
though
this
pandemic
has
been
so
hard
on
our
community.
It
has
definitely
brought
these
partners
together
in
a
way
that
we
have
had
to
have
that
sacred
time
and
the
positiveness
that
has
come
out
of
it,
no
matter
what
we
what
we
might
face
in
our
future.
E
We
have
now
built
those
relationships
that
we
will
be
able
to
gather
this
group
back
together
for,
for
whatever
may
come
our
way,
and
so
I
I
you
know
what
we,
what
we
may
go
to,
whether
it
be
monthly
bi-weekly
whatever
that
may
be
we'll.
We
will
do
it
in
conjunction
with
with
all
of
us
together
and
then
what
comes
our
way.
We
will
be
able
to
pick
up
those
pieces
and,
of
course,
address
with
the
press.
