B
A
Okay,
I
have
115,

and
get
going

welcome

Monroe,
County,

situation

kovat
19.
As

and
there
was
some
news
already
today
with
the
mayor
today.
Well.
B
Thanks
Chuck
and
thanks,
everybody
I
just
want
to
start
by
again
expressing
great
thanks
appreciation
for
the
dedication
and
professionalism
of
all
our
health
workers,
including
their
public
health
officials,
who
are
so
extraordinary
and
committed
with
their
great
expertise
in
the
highest
integrity.
We
are
dealing
with
a
very
dynamic
and
still
changing
much
unknown
threat.
We
know
more
today
than
we
did
six
months
ago,
but
it's
only
been
six
months
since
this
pandemic
began
and-
and
it
looked
reasonable,
Minds
can
differ
about
how
to
respond.
B
We
continue
to
see
a
pretty
good
data
in
Indiana
overall
in
our
community,
though,
we
have
recently
seen
some
modestly
rising
cases
and
hospitalizations,
which
I'm
sure
we'll
hear
about
I
just
want
to
mention
three
realities
that
are
very
important
from
my
perspective.
First,
national
data
is
showing
dramatic
resurgence
'as
of
this
virus,
including
many
areas
with
their
highest
cases
ever
across
the
country
and
with
many
individual
super
spreader
events
that
have
occurred
in
unsafe
activities.
It's
not
bad
to
just
remember.
B
B
We
know
this,
but
to
remember
that
thousands
and
thousands
of
students
from
all
across
the
country
will
be
returning
to
Bloomington
in
the
coming
weeks,
as
well
as
our,
of
course,
so
important
K
through
12
schools,
opening
up
their
campuses,
their
school
buildings
again
quite
soon,
and
third,
just
remembering
the
enormous
costs
of
any
shutdowns
or
closures
that
we
might
have
to
do
in
the
damage.
Those
potential
actions
would
impose
locally,
including
health,
economic
and
family
costs.
Those
three
facts:
those
realities
to
me
urge
caution
and
care.
B
Putting
that
order
in
place.
I
believe
we
should
consider
the
same
in
short
order
and
a
number
of
jurisdictions
around
the
country
have
seriously
limited
exposures
from
large
indoor
gatherings
at
bars
and
other
such
locations.
I'll
I'll,
just
quote
dr.
Falchi,
whom
we
all
know
who
said
quote
congregation
at
a
bar
inside
is
bad
news.
B
Close
quote
I
believe
we
should
consider
implementing
the
same
in
short
order
and
I
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
outstanding
health
professionals
and
and
other
public
authorities
in
the
coming
weeks
to
outline
steps
such
as
these
I
know,
the
county
is
planning
to
make
statements
I'm,
not
sure,
if
they've
taken
a
formal
action,
yet
we've
been
coordinating
that
closely.
The
city
has
independent
Public,
Safety
and
health
authorities
under
Indiana
code,
but
I
think
it
would
be
much
preferable
all
to
act
together
and
I.
Look
forward
to
that
in
the
coming
two
weeks.
B
B
The
antibody
testing
results
so
I
feel
fine
have
felt
fine
since
late
April,
but
it
does
remind
us
the
virus
is
still
around
in
our
employee
workforce
and
something
we
really
need
to
keep
paying
attention
to
so
encouraging
everybody
to
continue.
Those
protocols
which
we
know
are
so
important
thanks
I'll,
be
happy
to
take
questions
at
the
right
time.
All.
C
Thank
you.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
leadership
and
all
that's
been
going
on
with
the
meetings
between
the
county
city,
I
you
and
I
you,
health
and
the
health
department.
It's
been
great
discussion,
as
the
mayor
said
so
aptly
we
can.
We
can
disagree
on
some
of
the
ways
we
do
things,
but
we
all
together
are
making
sure
that
we're
focusing
on
the
public
good
I
do
have
a
couple
graphs
I
want
to
show.
C
As
we
know
the
mayor
did
or
the
governor
did
make
a
pause
on
going
to
phase
five,
and
that
is
one
of
the
data
points
he
looked
at
was
the
admissions
increasing
for
hospitals,
which
is
a
sign
of
the
severity
of
the
disease
as
well
as
the
prevalence.
This
first
slide
shows
the
numbers
of
admissions,
as
you
can
see
back
on
the
June
21st
we're
at
our
lowest
levels,
and
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
the
last
several
days
of
our
inpatients
across
the
south-central
region
or
the
next
slide.
Please
well,
we've
seen
that
increase.
C
This
next
slide
demonstrates
it's
nowhere
near
where
we
were
previously
and
so
I'm
not
I
want
to
be
sure
I'm
not
causing
alarm.
That
is
not
what
I'm
doing
what
I'm
saying
is.
We
are
seeing
this
trend
in
these
past
several
days
and
as
we
head
into
this
fourth
of
July
holiday
weekend,
I
want
us
to
be
very
mindful
of
the
practices
that
we
need
to
employ
to
be
sure
that
we
protect
each
other.
C
For
yourself
and
for
the
community,
we
ask
that
you
be
very
careful
this
holiday
weekend
and
as
we
go
forward
in
all
settings
in
which
you
find
yourself,
our
primary
care
continues
to
open
to
full
force,
and
we
are
doing
well
with
getting
patients
in
and
still
utilizing,
our
virtual
visits,
so
patients
can
have
access
to
their
providers
as
they
need,
and
that
is
going
well
and
we
are
almost
at
full
capacity
with
our
visits
and
outpatient
services
as
well.
I
wanted
to
just
end
my
comments
on
the
thing.
C
How
thankful
we
are
for
the
governor
as
well,
for
taking
a
pause
here
to
be
sure
that
we
are
safe
as
a
state.
We
do
have
done
well,
but
I
also
want
to
just
reflect
a
minute.
We
are
halfway
through
2020,
and
this
first
half
of
2020
has
been
pretty
tumultuous
in
many
ways
for
us,
and
you
know,
as
we
take
time
this
weekend
together,
I
would
employ
us
to
regroup
to
look
for
peace
and
energy
as
we
push
through
the
remainder
of
the
year.
C
This
holiday
weekend
provides
us
that
opportunity
and
we
can
choose
to
be
busy
and
be
checking
our
emails
and
go
to
parties
and
all
those
things
or,
as
we
don't
know
what
the
second
half
of
the
year
looks
like.
We
can
focus
on
our
mental
health,
which
is
something
that
we
are
seeing
across.
The
nation
concerns
around
quarantine
fatigue
and
around
anxiety
and
I
mentioned
a
couple
other
times.
Our
behavioral
health
unit
is
very
busy
and
we're
seeing
increased
numbers
of
those
who
are
struggling
with
quarantine
fatigue
and
with
anxiety.
C
So
I
would
ask
that
this
weekend
that
you
take
some
time
to
reflect
turn
off
the
social
media
turn
off
the
email.
That's
what
I'm
doing
I'm
to
take
a
24-hour
period
hiatus
and
reflect
and
be
prepared
for
the
next
six
months
to
engage
fully
in
what
we
can
do
and
what
I
can
do
and
how
I
can
be
present
and
mindful
in
the
next
six
months
and
then,
as
we
celebrate,
Independence
Day
sometimes
feels
like
our
political
and
social
climate
is
more
polarizing
than
ever,
and
I
would
ask
that.
C
D
D
Just
to
give
you
a
County
update,
we
closed
out
this
series
of
food
and
beverage
grants
to
area
businesses
and
organizations
totaling
over
three
hundred
ninety
nine
thousand
dollars
which
we're
so
proud
and
happy
to
do
to
ensure
that
our
community
is
intact
and
our
businesses
are
ready
as
soon
as
we
can
keep
them
going
and
county
building.
Just
a
reminder:
County
buildings
remain
open,
but
by
appointment
only
yes,
you
will
be
required
to
wear
a
face
covering.
D
D
Our
meetings
of
boards
and
commissions
are
available
via
zoom
check
the
calendar
at
seokmin,
Road,
ing
us
and
reminder
that
there
is
a
sign-up,
a
free
signup
for
a
group
called
ever
bridge,
but
it
says
resident
alert,
it's
right
on
so
under
a
megaphone
right
on
our
home
page
on
our
website
sign
up
and
you
will
be
notified,
not
only
weather
emergencies,
but
in
some
instances
water
boil
orders
and
water.
Advisories
are
also
posted
there,
but
you
will
get
every
health
order
that
comes
out
as
soon
as
it's
issued.
So
please
use
that
system.
D
It's
a
great
way
to
stay
in
touch
with
what's
going
on
in
our
community
and
it's
so
important
now
more
than
ever,
a
big
thank
you
to
everyone
who
is
actively
protecting
our
community
shout
out
to
our
health
care
providers,
our
first
responders,
who
continue
to
do
great
work,
a
big
thank
you
from
us
on
the
board
of
commissioners
to
our
health
department,
the
board
dr.
Sharpe,
penny,
Caudill,
emergency
management
else
and
more
amazing
hard
work.
Every
day.
Every
day
we
try
to
get
them
some
breaks
and
some
time
off
of
a
boy
they
are.
D
They
work
hard
all
the
time
and
they
are
working
hard
for
all
of
us
and
we
so
appreciate
them,
and
we
do
want
to
remind
people
to
please
wear
that
face
covering
it
is
patriotic.
It
is
something
you
can
do
to
protect
your
community,
our
community
and
also
it
does
support
local
businesses.
It's
supporting
our
local
economy
when
you
wear
a
face
covering
because
that
will
help
us
prevent
having
to
go
into
another
shutdown.
We
don't
want
that.
D
We
want
to
stay
open
as
much
as
we
can,
but
we
can
only
do
that
if
we're
all
working
together.
So
we
do
appreciate
those
who
do
wear
their
face
coverings
when
they're
out
in
public
also
a
note
that
we
do
have
window
clings
available.
This
is
a
larger
size.
This
is
a
paper
size
for
area
organization,
social
service
agencies,
etc
and,
of
course,
businesses,
City,
County
anywhere
in
the
county
and
we're
partnering
so
far
with
downtown
Bloomington
Inc,
who
has
picked
up
some
of
these
decals.
D
These
are
just
Window
Cling
decals,
for
your
doors
of
your
businesses
or
organizations,
and
we
also
invite
anyone
who
wants
one
to
come
to
the
Monroe
County
Courthouse
right
on
the
square
on
the
north,
at
the
north
door,
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays.
It
will
be
available,
they'll
be

for
free

I'll
go
ahead
and
put
that
information.
Information
in
the
chat
as
well
for
the
media
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
all
that
they
do
in
the
community
and
especially
those
who
lead
us
by
with
data
and
science.
D
We
know
that
there
is
a
good
contingent
in
the
community
who
wants
stricter
ordinances.
We
have
a
lot
to
work
through
and
we're
working
through,
that
we
are
meeting
on
nearly
daily
now
again
and
and
we
are
working
through
things
like
enforcement
and
what
that
looks
like,
and
we
need
we're
going
to
need
to
do
this
as
a
community.
This
isn't
just
one
of
us.
This
is
all
of
us,
so
bear
with
us
we're
following
the
guidance
of
science
and
data
and
our
great
Health
Department
folks,
Thanks,
okay,.
E
Wonderful
word
said
already
today:
I'm
gonna
start
today
with
talking
about
testing
and
the
awesome
serve
site
at
the
Armory.
They
will
be
closed
tomorrow
and
they
are
closing
early
today.
They've,
they
don't
have
air
conditioning
and
I've
mentioned
this
before,
when
they're
in
full
PPE
gets
extremely
hot,
with
the
temperatures
and
the
humidity
that
we've
been
having,
so
they
will
be
closing
again
early
today,
but
even
with
the
early
closures
there,
they
have
been
seeing
80
to
125
people
a
day
and
their
normal
capacity
is
seen
to
be
a
hundred
and
thirty-two.
E
E
The
Indiana
State
Department
of
Health
you've
heard
me
talk
about
working
with
our
schools
and
the
State
Department
of
Health
has
added
a
school
liaison,
so
a
school
nurse
to
work
directly
with
our
local
school
nurses
across
the
state,
as
well
as
the
local
health
department's,
and
that
I
think
will
kind
of
bring
us
all
together
and
and
more
consistent
messaging
and
direction
for
our
schools.
So
we
are
definitely
gearing
up
for
our
schools
to
reopen
and
believe
that,
that's
not
only
you
know
it.
E
It
may
you
know,
invoke
a
little
caution
and
concern
for
some
parents.
I
can
understand
that,
but
there
is
definitely
not
just
educational
that
social
and
mental
benefits
to
our
students
being
engaged
in
learning
together.
So
the
schools
are
working
very
hard
to
do
that
collaboratively
and
to
protect
the
students
and
staff,
so
I
commend
them
on
that
and
going
along
with
what
has
already
been
said
today.
I
just
wanted
to
say
you
know
we
not
mean
that
that's
how
we're
gonna
get
through
this
pandemic.
You
talked
about
that.
E
Leads,
though,
to
gatherings
if
we're
in
those
and
maybe
I
messed
that
wording
up
there,
but
when
we
limit
what
we
go
to
that's
large
and
we
ensure
that
if
we
are
in
a
gatherings
maintaining
that
physical
distance
of
six
feet,
that's
that
really
important
thing
to
do
and
that
we're
wearing
those
face
coverings
when
we
can't
maintain
that.
So,
if
you
don't
know,
you'll
be
able
to
maintain
that
put
that
face
covering
on
that's
a
we
mentality.
So
we
really
want
to
think
about.
We
not
mean
the
new
health
order.
E
I
know
that
that's
on
everybody's,
not
mind.
We
had
to
wait
for
the
governor
to
come
out
yesterday.
We
have
been
spending
today,
not
only
and
various
meetings,
but
trying
to
finalize
that
order.
Dr.
sharp
will
go
over
some
of
the
changes
that
will
have
locally
in
a
moment.
But
again
it
is.
The
point
is
to
reduce
spread
of
the
infection
to
to
reduce
the
number
of
people
who
are
hospitalized,
so
that
we're
not
putting
our
health
care
system
over
capacity
that
we're
keeping
people
as
healthy
as
we
can
and
limiting
their
exposure.
E
In
the
meantime
and
Commissioner
Thomas
mentioned
this
as
well.
We
are
finalizing
plans
for
protective
interventions
that
we
can
add
in
the
in
the
coming
weeks,
and
we
just
have
to
work
through
a
few
of
those
details.
I
do
also
want
to
to
comment
the
bridge
everybody
to
look
at
the
governor's
order.
The
four
point:
five
for
the
things
that
are
kind
of
staying
the
same
and
some
that
I
would
point
out,
are
just
that
restaurants
will
remain
at
seventy
five
percent
capacity.
E
Employees
must
wear
masks,
farts
and
nightclubs
could
remain
open
at
50%
capacity
city
employees
must
wear
face,
masks
or
face
coverings
social
gatherings.
There
are
some
changes
there
that
dr.
sharp
will
go
to
go
over
as
well,
but
I
just
want
to
remind
people
to
look
at
those.
If
you
have
questions
about
your
business,
your
agency
check
that
out
and
if
you
have
questions
all
of
that
is
on
the
state's
website,
the
governor's
website,
with
back
on
track
with
that
I'll.
Let
dr.
sharp
talk
about
the
changes
in
our
local
order.
F
Afternoon,
I
certainly
appreciate
the
expertise
that
everyone
has
accumulated
here
and
their
willingness
to
spend
their
time
and
efforts
trying
to
keep
our
county
safe.
I've
talked
to
lots
of
people,
I've
watched
lots
of
programs,
I've
reviewed
everything,
I
can
and
so
the
new
order
start,
which
starts
at
12:01
tomorrow.
I
know
this
is
Thursday
Saturday
morning
Friday
morning
Friday
morning.
Yes,
ok,
so
the
changes
inside
gatherings
are
limited
to
no
more
than
100
people,
it's
250
for
the
state
and
we
have
been
at
200.
F
People
outside
gatherings
a
small
increase
to
no
more
than
150
people,
and
that's
in
recognition
of
how
difficult
it
is
to
you
know
how
much
more
difficult
it
is
in
a
in
a
situation
where
there's
air
exchange
all
the
time.
It's
more
it's
more
difficult
to
pass
the
virus
in
order
for
restaurants.
Our
part
is
to
provide
bar
top
service.
They
must
provide
a
means
of
protection
for
the
bar
supplies
from
patrons
at
the
bar.
F
So
obviously
you
can't
be
putting
the
lemons
and
limes
and
silverware
right
in
front
of
the
people
sitting
at
the
bar
and,
of
course
that's
50%.
I
have
to
remember
that
all
businesses
are
required
to
post
a
sign
minimum
aid
by
10:00
at
the
main
entrance
to
their
establishment
by
July,
8th
that
requests
patrons
to
wear
a
face
mask
covering
in
order
to
protect
employees,
other
customers
and
their
loved
ones.
F
So
we're
we're
really
not
changing
much
we're
keeping
it
instead
of
the
TV,
the
state's
keeping
their
to
54
total
crowds
and
we're
requiring
businesses
to
have
a
sign-
and
we
have
some
examples
here
and
they'll
be
on
the
website
and
the
main
message.
Please
were
a
face
covering
in
this
establishment
and
it
shows
a
picture
of
somebody
with
the
face:
mask
and
wash
your
hands
six
feet
apart,
etc.
Wash
your
hands
and
stay
six
feet
apart.
F
Not
so
the
message
is
the
same
everybody's
on
the
same
page,
mostly
and
and
we're
trying
to
be
as
careful
as
we
can.
We
want
to
keep
things
open
if
we
can,
but
because,
as
was
just
mentioned
by
penny,
the
mental
emotional
financial
implications
are
huge
and,
let's
see
I
just
this
morning
on
a
news
event,
that
suicide
rates
are
going
up
every
week
and
overdoses.
F
And
so
you
know
the
mental
emotional
stuff
is
a
big
deal
and
we
have
to
tread
that
fine
line
between
shutting
everything
down
which
I
understand
was
done
in
China
yeah
and
it
was
really
horrible
and
shutting
everything
down
and
allowing
people
to
vote
to
go
out,
but
they
vote
with
their
feet.
And
if
you
see
a
if
you're
in
a
place,
that's
not
too
not
too
careful
about
face,
masks,
it's
okay.
F
E
Again,
the
plans
for
the
future.
We
are
looking
at
those
additional
protective
measures
which
could
include
requiring
face
coverings.
It
could
include
limiting
seating
inside
establishments
and
not
allowing
a
lot
of
movement
or
standing
certain
service
with
people
standing
those
kinds
of
things.
So
we
are
looking
at
that,
along
with
how
we
enforce
and
do
follow
up
on
those
situations.
A
G
G
Jack
I
want
to
report
on
our
first
two
blood
drives
that
Monroe
County
Board
of
Commissioners
put
into
place.
We
had
collected
eighty
three
units
of
blood
amongst
both
of
those
blood
drives
that
could
potentially
save
the
lives
of
249
individuals.
What
what
great
news
is
that
we
have
scheduled
two
additional
blood
drives?
They
are
both
in
July,
July,
17th
and
July
28th.
G
They
will
both
be
hailed
by
appointment
at
the
Monroe
County
Convention
Center,
and
that
information
is
on
our
County
website
and
we
encourage
any
of
any
individual
that
can
in
fact
make
that
donation
to
do
so
on
behalf
of
the
county
and
I
also
want
to
reenact
I
mentioned
it
last
week
that
we
are
revamping
up
our
cloth
mask
our
homemade
clock
mask
dried
and
we
received
a
wonderful
amount.
This
this
past
week,
I
picked
up
masks
yesterday
at
our
drop-off
spots.
G
H
H
This
week
at
Indiana
University,
we
moved
to
phase
2
of
our
restart
plan
that
there
are
several
changes
that
occurred,
effective,
July
1st,
our
next
phase
phase
3
will
start
August
1st,
but
the
face
coverings
are
continuing
to
be
mandatory
in
all
campus
buildings
in
transportation
and
an
outdoor
spaces
where
physical
distancing
is
difficult.
So
we'll
continue
to
have
that
as
a
mandate
on
the
campus.
Also
on
July
1st,
some
of
our
buildings
on
a
limited
basis
opened
up
we're
continuing
to
ask
our
employees
to
work
remotely
if
possible.
H
Some
employees
are
being
called
back
as
needed.
Visitors
to
the
campus
are
limited
to
outdoor
visits
only
unless
it's
some
special
event
with
prior
health
guidance
approval
and
all
events
and
conferences
continue
to
be
canceled
on
campus
another
development.
This
weekend,
our
continuing
efforts
to
to
implement
Phase
two
of
our
plan
include
the
next
steps
in
our
restart
plan
committee,
recommendations,
which
is
the
assembling
of
a
medical
response,
coordinating
team
for
all.
I
you
campuses
and
then
response
units
on
each
of
our
individual
campuses.
A
We'll
go
to
questions,
and
the
first
question
from
the
media
is
also
question
that
I
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
coming
in
on
Facebook,
and
this
has
to
do
with
the
mandatory
order
coming
out
from
Indianapolis
for
face
masks,
and
so
this
one
from
Ethan
Burke's,
wfiu
wtiu
for
penny
coddle
and
mayor
Hamilton.
As
it
was
mentioned
earlier,
the
Indianapolis
mayor
announced
that
starting
July
9th
all
citizens
inside
public
places
will
be
required
to
wear
masks
what
kind
of
government
or
Health
Department
action
would
have
to
be
taken
to
implement
that
mandate.
Here.
E
You're,
even
that
the
Health
Officer
does
have
the
authority
to
do
that.
That
has
always
been
something
that's
been
on
the
table,
but
we
have
like
the
state,
tried
to
use
the
approach
of
everybody
owning
their
responsibility
in
this,
and
we
in
every
action
that
we
take
at
the
Health
Department.
We
would
rather
get
voluntary
compliance
as
opposed
to
having
to
mandate
something.
We
know
that
there
are
lots
of
people
concerned
and
some
people
will
never
wear
masks,
whether
it's
mandated
or
not.
E
E
If
you've
got
that
six
foot
distance,
then
the
mask
is
an
additional
help.
The
mask
is
really
there
for
when
you
can't
maintain
that.
So
it's
a
good
thing-
and
we
know
that
when
people
crowd
into
buildings
and
go
shopping,
that
you
know
we're
in
there
and
we
might
be
spending
more
time
now
in
there
than
we
did
a
month
or
two
ago
when
we
were
really
kind
of
on
stay-at-home
orders.
So
we
we
are
looking
at
it.
We
certainly
have
heard
people.
E
So
we
have
to
work
out
those
details,
but
I
would
encourage
people
to
to
think
about
the
places
that
they
go
and
what's
going
on
when
we
talk
about
gatherings
and
gathering
sizes
doesn't
matter
if
you
are
at
a
bar,
if
you're
at
a
wedding,
if
you're
in
the
park
at
an
event,
if
you're
you
know
at
a
market
wherever
you
might
be,
we
have
to
maintain
that
social
distance.
Everybody
should
be
wearing
a
face
covering
when
they're
in
public
and
can't
do
that.
Absolutely.
B
I
would
said:
I
really
appreciate
the
collaboration
with
county
health
and
everybody
on
this
I
mean
look.
I
would
just
say
it
would
be
preferable
if
we
had
a
national
order
on
this.
To
put
this
in
place
appropriately
in
the
middle
of
a
national
pandemic.
It
would
be
better
from
my
perspective
to
if
we
had
a
state
border
that
would
put
this
into
place,
but
lacking
that
there
have
been
four
counties
in
our
state
that
have
taken
this
step
and,
of
course,
I
think
about
17
states
around
the
country.
I
really
appreciate
locally.
B
Where
we're
looking
at
this,
how
to
do
it?
You
asked
about
what
it
would
take.
There
could
be
an
order
from
the
County
Health
Officer
that
could
put
this
into
place.
There
could
be
a
city
council
ordinance,
we
think
under
state
law
that
could
do
this
to
implement
health
requirements
and
I
think
over
the
next
week
or
two
we're
going
to
figure
out
what
we
think
is
the
best
approach
again.
I
think
everybody.
These
are.
B
These
are
moving
targets
and-
and
there
are
obviously
differences
of
ways
to
approach
it,
but
I
do
think
following
the
science
and
again
looking
at
the
what
are
the
low
cost
things
we
can
do
to
play
the
game
of
averages
that
we're
playing
to
try
to
reduce
the
risk
of
a
major
outbreak.
I
think
it's
really
important
to
look
at
this.
So
those
are
the
ways
they
could
happen.
I
think
this.
A
B
Thanks
for
asking
mostly
removed
a
mystery
because
I
kind
of
thought
I
had
it,
but
I
had
to
test.
That
said
no,
so
it
appears
to
have
removed
that
mystery.
There's,
never
100%
certainty.
As
you
all
know,
every
city
employee
has
continued
working
throughout
this
pandemic,
including
me.
We
have
changed
how
we
worked
knowing
I
have
the
antibodies
helps
a
little
bit,
but
you
know
you
still
kind
of
have
to
assume
you
might
become
infectious
at
any
particular
time.
We
just
don't
know
enough
for
sure.
B
For
example,
my
test
was
just
a
plus
or
minus
up
or
down
it
didn't
give
any
strength
of
the
antibodies
or
anything
like
that.
So
I
am
doing
some
in-person
work
carefully
in
advance
and
with
with
folks,
but
most
of
most
of
it
is
still
trying
to
be
as
careful
about
physical
distancing
as
I
can
be,
and
will
continue
to
do
that
and
really
changed.
My
my
day-to-day
I
think
this.
A
E
A
good
question
Dave
and
I'm
not
sure
that
I'm
the
best
that
I
have
the
most
detailed
answer
for
you.
Certainly
it
does
seem
to
have
an
increased
accuracy,
so
we
do
anticipate
that
we
will
will
see
a
few
more
accurate
tests
that
could
go
either
way.
We
could
see
the
numbers
respond
differently,
so
I
don't
have
a
good
answer
for
which
way
it
will
go,
but
certainly
it
is
seen
as
a
slightly
more
effective
test.
E
A
One
also
for
you,
penny
on
a
rolling
average
daily
basis.
Monroe
County
has
been
mostly
below
2
percent
positives.
Third
week
of
June,
we
started
to
edge
above
2%
and
towards
3%.
Is
there
a
percentage
of
positive
numbers
that
you
would
consider
to
be
a
threshold
for
concern
otherwise
put
at
what
percentage
of
positive
tests
we
start
to
say
sure.
E
What
we
do
we
look
at
several
things
and
we've
heard
us
talk
a
lot
about
our
percentage
of
positives
among
the
number
of
tests
that
are
done
and
right
now
that's
staying
in
that
three
percent
range,
which
is,
is
good.
We
would
love
to
see
it
be
you
know
it
less
than
a
percent
or
at
one
percent,
but
three
percent
is
good.
E
You
know
we
were
much
higher
at
one
point:
thirteen
percent-
something
like
that,
so
we've
made
great
strides
and
we
want
to
continue
to
make
those
you
are
correct,
though
we
have
been
seeing
some
increase
in
testing
tests
reported
on
a
daily
basis.
We
have
had
some
batch,
so
we've
went
back
when
we
see
those
we've
went
back
several
of
those
tests
that
we've
seen
done
on
a
particular
day.
E
We're
actually
done
several
weeks
in
the
past,
so
it
was
a
cumulative
set
of
days
that
accounted
for
that
increase
and
we
are
watching
that
again
we're
watching
for
people
in
visiting
specific
places
or
events
or
their
whether
it's
family
event,
whether
it's
a
public
event
again,
it
could
be.
You
know
a
concert
it
you
know,
and
it
could
be
as
small
I'm
not
talking
you
know.
E
Most
of
the
big
concerts
have
been
canceled
but
know
there
could
be
any
number
of
things
that
people
have
engaged
in,
whether
it's
visiting
a
restaurant
or
a
store
or
whether
it's
been
a
family
event
or
something
like
that.
So
we
part
of
the
contact
tracing
and
that
investigation
we
chuckle.
We
talk
a
lot
about
the
contact
tracing,
but
the
first
part
of
that.
A
Okay
and
Dave
and
Ernest
Rollins
from
the
HD
have
a
similar
question.
The
Mayor
received
an
antibody
test
this
for
the
mayor
and
for
Brian
shock
knee.
Where
did
he
get
it
and
are
there
plans
to
make
such
tests
available
to
the
wider
Monroe
County
community
in
the
near
future,
Dave
asked
if
that
was
done
as
a
part
of
a
red
cloth
cross
blood
donation,
which
includes
an
antibody
tests
and
was
that
part
of
a
donation
or
did
the
mayor
just
want
to
know
Thanks.
B
B
There
was
a
couple
exposure
questions
and
others
that's
useful
to
know.
I
had
it
done
at
IU
Hospital
and
it
took
about
15
minutes
kudos
to
to
the
hospital
getting
us
in
and
out
of
there
very
safely,
and
but
again
it
was
done
by
a
private
physician
and,
of
course,
I
wish.
We
had
a
lot
more
tests
across
the
state
and
country
and
everywhere,
but
it's
it's
good,
they're
increasing
and
I'll.
Let
Brian
answer
if
he
knows
about
the
overall
availability
of
the
antibody
test.
Thank.
C
You
for
the
question
so
far:
it's
been
the
Fairbanks
school
Public
Health
we've
been
working
with
them.
Iu
Health
has
been
working
with
them,
with
our
prevalence,
testing
and
antibody
testing
I
think
it
mayor's
comments
in
the
beginning
of
the
press,
conference
or
various
stood,
and
that
we
still
are
dealing
with
something.
We
really
don't
know
a
lot
about
we're
learning
we're
learning
very
quickly
about
this
virus,
but
as
the
mayor
tested,
negative
twice
and
most
likely
when
he
tested,
he
was
positive.
C
Nothing
is
for
sure
and
the
test
that
we're
developing
our
tests
that
were
in
previous
years-
and
you
know
1020
years
ago
it
would
take
months
and
even
years
to
develop
tests
to
determine
if
someone
had
a
disease.
Sir
virus
we're
doing
this
in
weeks,
and
so
we
just
have
to
understand
that
the
technology
is
there,
but
specificity
continues
to
get
better,
as
the
week's
go
on
be.
C
Rest
assured
that
IU
Health
IU
and
their
research
IU
School
of
Medicine,
as
well
as
our
governments,
are
working
diligently
with
private
businesses
and
public's
businesses
to
develop
these
tests
and
be
more
specific,
so
I
would
expect
before
the
end
of
the
year,
we're
seeing
more
and
more
of
these
antibody
testing
and
the
test
strips
they're,
very
they're,
very
quick
and
test
Diagnostics
and
we'll
see
more
of
those
become
available
quickly
and
in
more
in
mass
quantities
as
we
move
forward.
Currently.
C
As
with
all
testing
medium,
we
want
to
be
sure
that
we
reserved
it
for
those
who
truly
need
the
tests
and
are
showing
symptoms
and
know
and
as
we
do,
contact
tracing
rather
than
running
out
of
those
test
kits
for
doing
the
mass
testing.
But
I
would
expect
that
it
won't
be
long
before
we
have
availability
of
testing
just
as
often
as
testing
those
who
may
not
be
showing
symptoms.
C
A
Are
at
2
o'clock,
but
I
do
want
to
try
to
get
in
these
last
few
questions
if
we
can
have
some
quick
answers
on
it
quickly
from
Ernest
Rawlins,
the
HTR,
their
plans
for
Penny
Caudill
plans
to
expand
testing
capacity
in
the
county,
either
at
the
optimist,
ID
or
other
locations
as
the
community
reopens
and
with
the
fall
semester
around
the
corner.
Also,
what
about
repairing
or
getting
a
new
air
conditioning
unit?
So
the
current
site
can
be
open
for
more
hours.
E
Good
questions,
so
yes,
we're
constantly
talking
about
testing
potential
pharmacies
continue
to
offer
add
pharmacies
offering
testing.
So
we
hope
that
the
optimist
I'ts
will
stay
around
for
a
while.
But
yes,
in
short,
yes
in
terms
of
the
air
conditioning,
it's
not
broken.
We
have
been
looking
at
portable
ones,
but
the
cost
is
quite
high
to
handle
that
space.
So
that
is
something
that
is
being
looked
at
absolutely
and
it
has
been
kind
of
a
problem
across
the
state
with
some
of
the
sites.
B
A
B
C
A
D
I
would
I
would
just
say
again:
we
rely
on
our
health
department
to
be
data,
and
science
driven
here.
I
know
that
what
has
occurred
in
other
communities
is
a
requirement
to
utilize.
Only
tabletop
seating
at
bars
that
that
may
be
an
option,
but
I
think
the
most
important
thing
is
that
we
all
need
to
work
together,
both
as
a
community
and
and
as
leaders
of
the
community,
to
make
sure
that
we
cover
everything.
I
think
what
miss
Carlos
said
is
absolutely
right
that
we
have.
D
B
I
agree
with
Commissioner
Thomas
I
think
that
three
things
you
tend
to
see
that
have
been
used
around
the
country
are
limited
numbers
like
the
50%
capacity
limit.
As
mr.
Thomas
said,
you
could
require
only
presence
at
seating.
Kind
of
like
a
restaurant
just
require
people
to
sit
down
to
be
served
or
third,
some
places
have
either
closed
bars
or
made
them
only
carryout,
not
allowing
service
of
alcohol
in
the
in
the
establishment.
I
think
all
three
are
are
worth
looking
at
and
they've
all
been
tried
in
different
ways
in
different
places.
B
E

Kudos
to
the
organizers,
who
pushed
so
hard
for
mask-wearing-
and
it
looked
to
me
like
more
than
90%
of
the
people,
wore
masks
the
outdoor
setting,
but
they
really
did
a
careful
job
distributing
masks
and
everybody
on
this
call.
A
lot
of
people
helped
make
that
happen,
and
that
was
that
was
really
well
done.
A
Lightening
around
real,
quick
here,
penny
called
will
follow
up
question
from
Dave
at
the
be
square
beacon.
He
said
it.
I
didn't
quite
follow
your
description
of
the
batch
test.
The
state's
dashboard
is
supposed
to
assign
the
positive
test
a
number
of
tests
and
everything
to
the
right
day
from
what
you
said.
It
sounds
like
that
didn't
happen
for
some
of
Monroe
County
data
or
did
I
misunderstand
he
says
perhaps.
E
A
E
A
E
Brian
can
can
answer
that.
I
think
that
you
know
with
all
testing
when
we're
testing
things
that
are
new.
The
biggest
question
with
antibodies
right
now
is
that
we
just
don't
know
at
what,
how
long
you
might
maintain
protection.
If
you
do
what
level
of
antibody
production
you
have
to
have
to
really
have
that
immunity
that
we're
looking
for
and
hoping
for
and
I
know
that
there's
been
different,
tasin
antibody
tests
that
haven't
necessarily
been
approved.
So
there
are
questions
about
that,
but
I
think
that
all
of
those
things
are
being
worked
around
I
would.
C
Agree
as
well,
they
very
well
said,
and
you
know
that
they
do
go
through
scrutiny
before
they
can
be
used,
but
they
are
not
a
hundred
percent
accurate.
But
you
know
in
our
current
situation,
something
is
better
than
nothing,
but
when
we
are
fighting
this
virus
and
so
the
powers
to
be
that
approve
these
tests
to
go
forward,
we
trust
them
to
make
the
right
decisions.
Data
science
drives
as
you've
heard
before.
C
B
To
be
a
little
less
diplomatic,
which
is
often
my
role
some
there
are
some
terrible
antibody
tests
out
there
that
aren't
accurate
and
it's
kind
of
a
wild
west
and-
and
one
of
the
reasons
you
know,
IU
Health
and
has
has
waited
to
find
the
right
tests
that
they
do
think
are
at
least
reasonably
reliable,
but
they're
you
know,
I
just
was
reading.
You
got
to
be
careful
there,
people
pushing
anybody
tests
that
are
no
good
at
all,
not
really
reliable.
So
it's
it's.
We
appreciate
the
continued
focus
on
science
and
getting
a
good
test.

We
are
going
to
leave
it
there.
