Description
City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Committee (Virtual) 1/6/2021
A
In
here,
first
meeting
of
2021,
and
hopefully
the
start
of
some
great
things
and
some
a
good
positive
year
this
year,
so
so
I
do
want
to
welcome
everybody.
We
do
need
to
approve
the
meetings,
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting
from
december
2nd.
So
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
minutes
that
everybody
get
a
chance
to
look
at
those.
I
guess.
C
A
Okay,
we've
got
a
move
to
approve
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
aye,
aye
aye.
Thank
you.
The
eyes
have
it
so
we're
gonna
move
on
to
dr
susan
johnson
for
her
report,
since
she
has
to
leave
early.
B
D
B
Okay,
great
great,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
you
were
aware
and
were
supportive
before
I
presented
this,
so
real
quick.
We,
as
you
know
in
I
believe
it
was
in
november
or
december.
This
committee
presented
our
request
to
the
city
council
to
approve
our
health
and
all
policies
strategy
which
was
approved,
and
so
we
have
another
opportunity
to
support
that.
B
There
is
a
group
of
researchers
and
stakeholders
that
have
been
working
on
the
effects
of
climate
change
on
public
health,
in
addition
to
resiliency
and
flooding
has
been
the
main
focus,
but
we
also
have
been
looking
at
the
effects
of
heat
extreme
heat
and
we
have
an
opportunity
opportunity
to
apply
for
a
grant
that
would
allow
us
to
collect
data
and
kind
of
overlay,
that
with
public
health
issues
and
help,
hopefully
will
help
guide
our
strategies
around
mitigating
risk.
B
B
Okay,
all
right
can
y'all
see
that
yes,
okay,
great
paul,
sent
this
out.
I'm
sure
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
look
at
it
yet
since
it
went
out
about
five
minutes
ago,
but
as
I
said,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
mayor
teklenberg
had
a
chance
to
lay
eyes
on
this
before
I
presented
it,
but
basically
we
are
taking.
We
would
like
to
take
an
advantage
of
an
opportunity
to
do
some
data
collecting
around
extreme
heat
in
our
communities
it.
B
The
application,
is
actually
due
on
friday
and
mayor
teclenberg.
You
can
speak
to
your
commitment
to
that,
but
in
our
project
team
meetings
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
the
support
not
only
of
our
partners,
who
will
be
engaging
in
this
work,
but
also
community
stakeholders,
and
we
felt,
like
the
this
committee,
was
very
aligned
with
the
work
and
it
was
also
aligned
with
our
health
and
all
policies
strategy.
B
B
But
it
really
is
important
for
us
to
have
that
baseline
and
to
be
able
to
start
to
make
those
connections
between
extreme
heat
and
public
health
and
population
health
and
what
we
can
do
as
a
city
to
mitigate
that.
And
so
really
the
request
is
that
we,
as
a
committee,
provide
either
verbal
support.
There
may
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
include
a
letter
of
support
to
the
grant
application,
and
it
really
is
just
that.
B
We're
saying
that
we
will
be
providing
advocacy
for
greater
heat
and
health
awareness
through
messaging
campaigns
and
possibly
the
development
of
strategies
for
risk
reduction,
and
you
can
see
the
project
leads.
The
city
has
been
working
with
dr
janice
barnes
with
climate
adaptation
partners
from
the
city
mark
wilbert,
who
I
believe
was
the
person
who
presented
this
to
the
mayor.
Our
chief
resilience
officer
will
be
representing
the
city.
B
The
charleston
resilience
network
will
be
the
the
lead
on
the
grant
application,
and
then
the
partners
include
musc
the
charleston
medical
district
and
the
citadel.
So
we
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
and
I
will
stop
and
answer
any
questions
or
I
will
let
mayor
teklenberg
speak.
F
Well,
thank
you,
susan
and
and
yeah
mark
shared
this
with
me.
It
makes
all
the
sense
in
the
world
it
gets
awfully
hot
here
in
charleston
and
as
climate
continues
to
change
and
temperature
rises.
I
think
this
is
just
all
part
of
our
resilience
and
and
wellness
efforts,
I'm
you
know,
always
excited
to
partner
with
musc
in
the
hospital
district,
but
I
was
particularly
glad
to
see
the
citadel
on
there.
They
have
that
new
climate
change
program,
so
this
really
engages
them
and
engages
us
with
them.
F
So
I'm
very
supportive.
Thank
for
for
bringing
this
to
the
table,
and
only
thing
I
would
ask
is
when
you
list
the
partners
that
you
include
specifically
the
city
of
charleston,
we're
all
in.
B
E
F
Well,
I
would
like
to
to
share
this
with
city
council
from
the
committees,
as
as
a
as
a
recommendation
from
the
committee.
We're
not
actually
the
city
itself
isn't
making
the
grand
application,
so
I
don't
think
we
need
to
approve
it
at
ways
and
means
or
anything
like
that,
but
would
certainly
include
it
with
our
report
for
approval
from
this
committee.
A
All
right
so
an
approval
to
bring
this
toward
city
council.
Can
someone
make
a
motion
for
that?
Please
all
right
and
do
we
have
a
second.
A
Okay,
all
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
okay,
so
we'll
bring
that
before
city
council.
Any
other
questions
for
susan
johnson
before
we
move
on
okay.
Well,
thank
you
susan.
We
appreciate
it.
I
know
you
have
a
busy
day.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
us
and
taking
time
to
jump
on
and
and
take
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
C
Well,
good
morning,
everybody
happy
new
year.
Let
me
share
my
screen
here.
F
C
Tran,
so
I
had
asked
paul
if
I
could
present,
because
I
know
we
we
often
talk
in
this
group
and
when
I'm
around
our
community
a
lot
of
people,
don't
know
the
resources
out
there
for
mental
health
and
and
I'm
in
on
part
of
this
committee
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
our
mental
health
center
does
so.
I
asked
if
I
could
take
a
few
minutes
to
kind
of
give
an
overview
of
all
of
our
programs
and
our
services
at
charleston
dorchester
mental
health
center.
So
we
have
a
lot
so
I
couldn't.
C
It
was
difficult
for
me
to
keep
this
short,
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
do
it
just
to
let
you
know
kind
of
what
opportunities
people
have
here
at
the
mental
health
center.
So
this
is
our
west
ashley
clinic.
I
think
everybody
knows
this,
but
we
are
part
of
the
department
of
mental
health,
so
we're
a
state
agency.
C
Mental
health
has
four
inpatient
hospitals
and
six
nursing
homes.
Probably
something
that
you
don't
know
about.
Dmh
is
that
we
are
the
largest
nursing
home
provider
in
the
state
and
it's
not
for
people
with
mental
illness.
It's
actually
mostly
for
veterans,
but
the
good
part
about
us
we're
one
of
the
few
states
that
has
a
whole
continuum
of
care.
So
we
have
inpatient
and
outpatient
services
for
patients
around
the
state.
C
We
are
one
of
the
16
mental
health
centers
in
our
state
and
we
we
were
the
largest
and
then
greenville
and
piedmont
combined,
so
we're
kind
of
even
with
them,
but
we
we've
been
here
for
almost
100
years,
so
we
we
have
about
right
under
300
staff
right
now,
and
I
can
tell
you
with
covet
and
a
lot
of
you
other
folks
in
the
medical
field,
probably
having
staffing
problems
as
well,
but
we've
been
managing
it,
but
we
do
serve
about
10
000
people
a
year
at
the
mental
health
center,
not
all
of
them
open.
C
We
usually
have
about
8
600
people
open
to
the
mental
health
center.
One
takeaway
for
today,
just
to
let
you
know,
is
that
people
can
walk
in
either
our
dorchester
clinic
or
charleston
clinic
monday
through
friday,
nine
to
three
and
get
get
a
chart
open
that
day,
whether
it's
an
emergency
or
not.
So
I
know
in
some
places
people
will
call
and
say
it's
a
three-month
wait
for
other
places
in
the
area,
but
you
can
walk
in
here
and
get
services
today.
C
One
thing
that's
really
important
to
stress
is
we
we
couldn't
do
all
the
things
we
do
without
all
of
our
partners.
We
house
ourselves
in
probably
120
sites
where
we
have
people
spread
all
over
the
county,
and
so
it's
it's
just
important
to
recognize.
C
I
won't
list
them
all,
but
we
we
couldn't
do
it
without
all
of
you
guys
lots
of
people
on
this
call
or
our
partners-
and
it's
really
important,
just
to
kind
of
say
the
best
part
about
charleston,
I
think
and
for
us
at
mental
health,
is
that
we
do
have
so
many
people
out
there.
We
all
work
together
so
well
and
again
we
couldn't
do
half
the
things
we
do
without
all
of
our
partners.
C
I'm
going
to
start
talking
about
emergency
services,
so
I
believe
everybody
is
probably
aware
we
have
a
mobile
crisis
team
here.
We
were
it's
since
1987,
so
24
7
365
days
a
year.
You
can
call
us
and
we
will
go
out
in
the
community
and
do
mental
health
assessments.
C
Law
enforcement
often
drops
folks
off
at
our
center
instead
of
taking
them
to
jail,
which
is
really
helpful
for
patients
to
get
the
treatment
they
need
instead
of
getting
put
in
jail
for
three
years
now,
we've
been
working
with
charleston
county
ems,
so
ems
can
call
us,
instead
of
waiting
for
us
to
come
out
to
see
a
patient,
we
can
do
a
video
telehealth
assessment
and
it's
really
helped
ems
not
to
have
to
transport.
So
many
people
to
the
hospitals.
C
C
We
are
now
managing
the
statewide
mobile
crisis
call
center,
so
we
take
calls
for
all
46
counties
all
day
every
day.
So
that's
been
an
interesting
ride
since
I'm
october
to
do
that,
but
we,
the
good
part,
is
we're
not
having
to
send
out
as
many
mobile
crisis
teams
in
the
state
because
we're
managing
a
lot
of
them
here.
If
we
can
do
safety
plans
and
and
make
sure
people
are
safe,
we
do
have
a
crisis
stabilization
center
for
adults.
It's
a
10
bed
voluntary
unit.
C
C
So
our
adult
services
we've
got
a
lot
of
options
for
adults.
Most
of
our
adults
are
treated
by
large
regional
treatment
teams.
They
they
do
we're
doing
telehealth
phone
services
and
in
face-to-face
services.
C
C
We
have
a
team
that
works
with
the
courts
and
we
have
a
mental
health
court
where
that's
an
alternative
to
a
jail
and
they
work
real
closely
with
the
treatment
team
and
help
them
get
jobs
and
kind
of
get
them
get
them
wrapped
around
and
again
they
avoid
having
to
go
to
jail
if
they
successfully
graduate
from
mental
health
court
for
people
who
just
kind
of
want
a
little
help.
I
guess
because
we
do
serve
a
lot
of
long-term
patients.
We
do
have
a
short-term
outpatient
treatment
program.
It's
like
nine
to
12
sessions.
C
G
C
People
15
to
40
years
old,
one
team
works
with
people,
mostly
with
schizophrenia
for
schizoaffective
disorders
and
the
other
team
kind
of
works
with
any
other
diagnosis,
and
it's
also
someone's
first
episode
of
psychosis.
But
the
cool
part
about
those
programs
are,
they
are
evidence-based,
and
families
get
lots
of
education.
C
We
have
staff
that
are
part-time
at
the
navigation
center
downtown
and
they
also
work
with
180
place
and
we
do
have
a
team
of
six
people
that
work
at
the
jail
been
there
since
the
late,
90s
and
they're
doing
suicide
assessments
for
folks
in
the
jail
one.
One
hope
we
have
for
the
future
is
to
be
able
to
add
to
that
team,
so
we
can
provide
more
treatment
in
the
jail
versus
just
suicide
assessments.
C
C
C
We
do
a
lot
of
training
here
at
mental
health
with
law
enforcement.
We
do
the
crisis
intervention
training,
which
is
their
40-hour
training
on
mental
illness
and
alcohol
and
drug
issues,
and
it
helps
them
to
better
recognize
and
work
with
those
folks
in
the
community,
and
it
just
helps
build
our
relationships
with
them
so
that
they
do
utilize
mobile
crisis
more.
Instead
of
taking
people
to
jail.
C
We
have
a
lot
of
adult
patients
that
live
in
homes
as
part
of
a
home
share
program,
so
it's
kind
of
like
a
foster
care
for
for
adults.
If
you
will,
we
do
a
lot
of
training
with
those
providers
too.
We
have
about
15
people
that
live
with
families.
Here
in
the
community,
we
have
a
staff
here
that
will
look
into
getting
folks
entitled.
If
they
don't
have
insurance,
they
can
help
them
get
medicaid
or
medicare.
C
We
have
peer
support
staff
and
these
are
folks
who
are
self-identified
people
with
mental
illness
who
work
as
part
of
our
teams
and
work
with
patients,
and
often
it's
kind
of
it's
easier
for
patients
to
work
through
some
of
their
issues.
When
they're
working
with
somebody
who
also
has
a
mental
illness,
we
do
have
the
ability
to
help
with
housing.
Assistance.
C
C
So
that's
an
adult
program
so
for
kids,
probably
95
of
the
services
we
provide
for
kids
are
in
schools.
We
are
in
111
schools
in
charleston
and
dorchester
counties.
Right
now.
We
normally
have
about
77
school-based
clinicians
out
there.
Some
of
them
are
in
schools
every
day
of
the
week
and
some
are
they
go
to
schools,
maybe
two
or
three
days,
as
you
know,
with
proven
kids
have
been
in
and
out
of
school,
but
we
we've
been
trying
to
we're
either
in
the
schools
or
we're
at
home.
C
Doing
telehealth
appointments
with
those
families,
we
did
have
a
little.
I
guess,
trouble
in
the
beginning,
with
kova
with
getting
connected
with
kids,
but
that
now
it
seems
like
we're.
Definitely
getting
a
big
uptick
in
people
wanting
help
for
their
kids,
which
we
did
expect
it
to
kind
of
take
a
little
bit
of
time
for
people
to
get
settled
out
and
kind
of
realize
that
they
needed
extra
help.
C
But
we've
got
clinicians
at
low
country,
child
advocacy
center.
We
have
a
new
mdft
team
which
is
multi-dimensional
family
therapy.
So
that's
a
very
intensive
team
that
goes
works
in
the
homes
with
families,
usually
they're,
djj
or
dss
families,
but
it's
very
intensive
and
also
evidence-based.
It's
similar
to
mst
you
all
might
have
heard
of
that.
C
We
have
a
group
that
works
just
with
youth
and
transition
age,
kids,
so
they're
again,
focusing
on
vocational
skills
and
other
things
that
young
adults
need
to
help
them
be
successful
in
life
and
dj
has
been
one
of
our
partners
for
years
too,
and
we
have
staff
that
are
at
djj
working
with
families
as
well.
C
So
we
are
working
with
the
south
carolina
mental
health
association,
and
so
we
will
be
working
with
providers,
daycare
providers
and
foster
parents
and
regular
parents
for
very,
very
young
kids
zero
to
five
who
are
they're,
noticing
that
these
kids
are
going
to
need
some
help,
and
hopefully
we
can
intervene
early
and
help
the
caregivers
learn
how
to
to
manage
these
kids,
so
they
don't
end
up
in
in
mental
health.
Later
I
think
I
mentioned
we
have.
C
We
we
also
have
a
parent-child
interactional
therapy
program,
that's
another
intensive
program
for
families
and
that's
also
an
evidence-based
treatment
that
we
do
here
and
again.
Kids
are
obviously
a
mobile
crisis
is
available
to
everyone,
so
we
have
12
doctors
here
on
site
and
we
partner
really
closely
with
musc
for
our
medical
services,
because
we,
we
usually
house
about
30
residents
a
year
here-
that
they
go
through
here
training
and
they
also
help
keep
our
crisis
stabilization
center
open
because
they're,
the
ones
that
are
on
call.
C
C
C
Feder
was
bringing
a
dental
rv
over
here,
we're
hoping
to
get
that
going
again
soon.
At
this
point,
federer's
just
started
coming
back
and
there
they
came
in
a
big
bus
in
our
parking
lot
and
they're
coming.
I
think
once
a
month,
right
now-
and
I
know-
we've
mentioned
the
south-
carolina-
hopes-
grant
the
dma
scott.
So
I
didn't
want
to
not
remind
you
about
that.
That
is
for
healthcare
professionals
who
need
some
help
from
covid.
Also
for
anyone
in
the
community.
C
C
So
we
do
a
lot
of
training.
Here
I
mentioned
that
we
train
with
law
enforcement.
We
we
train
closely
with
charleston
center,
so
we're
training
their
staff
about
mental
health
and
their
training,
our
staff
about
alcohol
and
drug
treatment.
C
Hopefully
you
guys
have
come
to
our
low
country
mental
health
conference.
We
did
have
to
skip
it
in
2020,
unfortunately,
but
we're
hoping
we'll
have
it
back
at
the
gill
yard
in
july,
and
the
other
thing
that
we
do
is
free
trainings
to
the
community
on
child
and
adult
mental
health.
First,
aid:
these
are
eight
hour
classes
and
we
have
four
trainers
here.
C
So
if
anyone's
interested-
and
we
can
do
it
even
in
parts
even
like
four
hours-
one
day
and
four
hours
another
day
if
anybody's
interested,
but
it
helps
teach
people
what
to
look
for
and
and
recognize
symptoms
of
mental
illness
and
then
what
to
do?
If
you,
if
you
know
somebody
who
needs
help
just
I
wanted
to
put
a
plug
in
for
our
conference,
we're
hoping
to
get
it
back
going
it.
We
had
1500
people
the
last
time.
So
obviously,
when
2020
happened,
that
wasn't
going
to
happen
at
the
gill
yard.
C
But
please
sign
up
to
come.
It's
going
to
be
great,
we're
part
of
a
lot
of
coalitions
and
meetings
and
councils.
Just
as
many
of
you
are
so
I
just
wanted
to
list
a
few
of
them
here,
but
we
do
pretty
much
go
to
everything
we're
invited
to
and
we
are
invited
to
a
lot
and
we
appreciate
that
because,
as
I
said,
we
have
lots
of
partners
and
we
all
work
together
so
well
in
charleston.
C
C
Art
of
recovery
is
part
of
piccolo
spolado
every
year,
and
this
is
held
at
the
circular
church.
We
have
artwork
from
patients
from
around
the
state
that
they're
selling
their
art
and
it's
really
a
beautiful
event
and
I'll
be
sending
you
all
information
about
that.
As
we
get
closer
and
hopefully
we'll
have
it
again.
This
year
we
do
have
a
pharmacy
van.
This
is
our
van
and
it's
actually
at
charleston
city
police
department.
But
this
is
a
group
of
us
and
roper
musc
ems
federer
everybody's
going
goes
down
to
mall
park.
C
It
was
weekly
before
covet
hit
and
then
we
stopped
it
for
a
while,
but
it
is
back,
I
believe,
we're
doing
it
once
a
month,
but
we're
giving
out
vegetables
and
fruit
to
the
community
and
trying
to
get
these
folks
connected
to
treatment
of
any
kind.
So
it's
really
it's
it's
to
help
reduce
stigma
and
to
help
people
know
where
to
go,
get
help.
C
C
We
were
able
to
give
five
thousand
dollars
worth
of
socks
and
clothes
to
our
adult
patients,
this
christmas
and
a
whole
bunch
of
gifts
for
kids,
so
they
help
fund
what
our
patient
needs
are
if
the
mental
health
center
can't
pay
for
it.
So
it's
been
a
wonderful
thing
to
have
a
non-profit
that
supports
us.
C
So
in
closing
I
just
I've
got
mental
health
mobile
crisis
numbers
up
here,
and
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
we
really
have
130
plus
places
you
can
go
and
get
your
chart
open
with
the
charleston
dorchester
mental
health
center
because
we
are
everywhere
besides
our
two,
our
two
main
clinics
and
tcsc,
as
I
said,
hopefully,
will
be
opening
in
february.
C
C
I
put
a
lot
of
our
contact
information
on
the
last
page,
so
you
guys
could
have
it
and
I'm
just
really
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
work
with
all
of
you
and
again
we
we
do
this.
As
a
team,
I
mean
we,
as
I
said,
we're
all
over
the
place
and
we
can't
do
it
by
ourselves
so,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
you
all,
so
you
kind
of
knew
some
of
the
options
people
have
at
your
community
mental
health
center.
A
C
I
mean
not
right
now,
the
city
of
charleston
is
already
a
partner
of
ours
and
they
help
pay
for
our
clinician.
That's
out
on
the
path
team
at
working
out
in
the
community
and
and
we
work
with
the
the
homeless
coalition,
and
I
think,
we're
doing
great.
Just
just
keep
doing
what
you're
doing
and
being
partners
with
us.
D
I
just
have
a
quick
question:
are
the
walk-in
hours
those
monday
through
friday
hours
are
those
open
to
pediatric
patients.
I
C
F
Jennifer,
thank
you
for
that
update.
It's
it's
good
to
be
refreshed
on
all
the
activities
and
programs.
You
have,
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
you
keep
up
with
all
of
them,
to
be
honest
with
you,
but
thanks
for
your
partnership
with
the
city,
and
so
many
others
in
the
community
and
I'll
be
glad
to
hear
that
10
bed
unit
gets
reopened
this
year
and
we
get
back
to
in-person
services
and
and
outreach,
but
y'all
do
a
great
job.
F
C
A
All
right,
thank
you
again
and
I
guess
we'll
move
on
to
item
four
on
our
agenda
and
I'll
call
on
katie
richardson
for
a
covid
covet
health
update.
J
K
I'm
happy
to
do
a
brief
update,
if
that,
if,
if
that's
appropriate
so
be.
D
K
So
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
something
that's
very
positive.
I'm
sure
y'all
are
tired
of
me
talking
about
cases,
cases,
cases
and
more
cases,
so
it's
pretty
exciting
to
be
talking
about
vaccinations.
So,
just
a
brief
update,
we
are
opening
our
meock.
That's
gonna
actually
start
today
with
a
small
small
team
to
kind
of
look
at
how
we
can
prepare
and
be
ready
and
and
and
help
with
vaccinations.
K
However,
the
city
can
and
wherever
it's
appropriate
south
carolina
according
to
cdc
south
carolina,
has
received
about
288
000
doses
of
both
the
pfizer
and
moderna,
and
also
on
the
cdc
website.
They're
reporting
that
south
carolina
should
get
another
60
000
doses
next
week
from
d
heck,
so
katie.
Hopefully
this
is
right.
This
is
what
I've
got
on
the
website
anyway,
so
you
can
see
the
number
of
doses
that
are
coming
to
musc
as
well
as
to
roper
and
how
many
of
those
had
actually
been
administered
and
that's
pulling
from.
K
I
think,
let's
see
yeah
yesterday
at
12
p.m.
So
I
think
the
reporting
on
on
administering
the
vaccines
is
a
little
delayed,
though
so
I'm
I'm
think
that
that's
a
little
bit
higher
percentage,
but
that's
all
that-
and
so
you,
you
know,
you
see
the
county
numbers
kind
of
everywhere,
so
I
kind
of
like
to
share
how
things
are
looking
kind
of
at
the
city
zip
code
level.
K
So
this
is
just
our
daily
new
cases,
as
well
as
kind
of
that
rolling
seven
day
average.
So
you
can
see.
We've
got
a
nice
little
spike
here
recently
due
to
to
all
the
holiday
activities.
So
that's
definitely
something
we're
you
know
keeping
an
eye
on
and
I
think
over
the
next
probably
five
days
or
so.
It's
gonna
be
interesting
to
see
how
that
continues.
Hopefully,
that
trend
will
start
to
make
a
downturn,
but
that
remains
to
be
the
same.
K
K
So
we're
doing
well,
I
think,
compare
comparatively
especially
when
you
look
at
how
hospitalizations
and
cases
are
in
the
upstate
so,
but
I
think
it's
still
something
to
to
keep
an
eye
on
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
the
the
the
rate.
K
K
Two
of
our
indicators
are
currently
yellow
and
two
of
them
are
red.
So
all
things
to
be
keeping
a
very
close
eye
on
really
quickly
city,
employee
cases.
We
currently
have
the
num
the
highest
number
of
employee
cases
that
we've
had
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
which
we
did
a
great
job
in
july,
and
I
think
you
know
we're
just
seeing
we're
just
seeing
coveted
fatigue
set
in
people.
People
are
really
really
tired
of
it.
K
I
think
people
were
anxious
to
spend
time
with
their
their
families
over
the
holidays,
and
so
I
think
we're
seeing
seeing
the
impact
of
that,
at
least
in
our
employee
population-
and
I
just
can't
say
enough
good
things
about
you-
know
the
safety
and
wellness
team
and
all
the
contact
tracing
that
they've
done
with
city
employees.
K
990
employees
have
been
tested
and
contact
traced
in
the
city
since
the
beginning.
That
is
a
lot
of
work
that
that
jan
and
paul
and
and
that
team
have
done
since
the
beginning,
so
real
really
big
kudos
to
them,
and
that's
really
all
I
have
so
this
morning.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
but
turn
it
over
to
katie.
A
Thank
you
tracy.
I
got
a
couple
of
questions
if
you
don't
mind
for
for
tracy,
when
we,
when
you
were
talking
about
hospital
bed
availability,
do
you
know
if
we
have
people
coming
in
from
outside
of
our
area
using
local
hospital
beds?
I
mean
I
don't.
That
may
be
a
dr
richardson
question.
I
don't
know,
or
is
it
all
local
people
in
our
hospital
beds
right
now
in
the
icu.
K
J
Certainly
musc
is
a
referral
center
for
much
of
the
state
and,
and
so
some
of
those
would
be-
and
we
we
know
that
from
our
region,
that
that
people
are
transferred
in
really
from
all
over
the
low
country
region
if
they
need
a
higher
level
of
care,
and
he
may
know
better.
But
I
would
still
say
probably
a
majority
of
those
inpatients
are
local
from
the
tri-county.
A
All
right
and
tracy
did
you
know
when
you
were
talking
about
city.
Employee
cases
are
those
actually
city.
Employees
are
those
people
on
the
city
insurance,
because
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
family
members
that
are
on
our
city,
health
insurance
program
of
those.
Actually
are
we
breaking
that
out
or
is
that
just
somebody?
That's
on
our
insurance.
K
I
K
Yeah,
so
that's
a
really
good
question.
Obviously
you
know
we
we
we
know
that
some
of
our
employees
are
more
vulnerable
simply
by
the
nature
of
their
work.
For
example,
you
know
fire
those.
You
know
those
guys
live
together,
eat
together,
so
it
makes
it
really
that's
been
a
really
challenging
department
to
to
you
know,
keep
really
safe.
So
luckily
those
guys
are
getting
vaccinated
right
now.
So
so
that's
that's.
That's
really
good.
That's
probably
been
been
the
biggest
challenge.
Of
course
you
know
our
police
officers
are
out
there.
K
We
do
have
some
employees
that
you
know
just
by
the
nature
of
their
job.
You
know
ride
together
in
vehicles
and,
of
course,
we've
done
everything
that
we
can
to
try
to
keep
everybody
safe
as
possible,
but
but
there
are
definitely
some
that
have
just
by
the
nature
of
their
work
are
exposed
a
little
bit
more
than
others.
G
Yeah
thanks
a
quick
question
and
it
may
require
some
speculation,
so
I
apologize
but
tracy
mentioned
there.
You
know
there
is
a
significant
difference
in
infection
rates
in
charleston
county
as
compared
to
the
upstate
region.
G
I
wonder
if
we
might
be
able
to
try
to
identify
why
there's
that
difference,
and
if
there
are
things
that
we're
doing
particularly
well,
that
we
can
continue
to
do
well
and
emphasize
to
try
to
keep
our
rates
low
or
just
had
a
question.
Is
it
purely
a
function
of
temperature
outside
or
might
it
be
something
other
than
that.
K
Yeah,
I
mean
that's
a
great
question.
I
was
asking
some
of
those
questions
of
katie,
not
all
that
long
ago,
because
you
know,
I
think
we
were
we've
been
kind
of
braced
for
for
the
same
kind
of
outbreak
of
this
virus
that
we've
seen
in
the
upstate.
Simply
you
know
thinking
that
it
was
a
function
of
temperature
yeah.
K
I
mean
I'm
just
speculating
to
you,
so
I
think
I
think
we've
been
we've
been
fortunate
with
with
our
with
the
temperatures,
people
are
able
to
be
outside
a
little
more
or
more
comfortable
outside
a
little
bit
more.
K
You
know,
and
this
is
just
anecdotally-
I
mean
people
that
I've
talked
to
fellow
employees
that
have
been
traveling.
You
know
just
kind
of
anecdotally
feel
like
there
is
more
adherence
to
mask
wearing
here
than
there
are
in
other
places.
So
I
would
love
to
think
that
all
the
work
that
we've
done
to
you
know
with
messaging
and
with
the
mayor's
leadership,
to
really
encourage
people
to
wear
masks
and
all
the
enforcement
efforts
you
know
by
our
livability
folks
and
pd
and
fire
I
would
love.
K
G
I
I
mean
I
appreciate
that
and
I
again
I
I
don't
want
to
go
off
of
speculation,
but
as
as
we
try
to
battle
fatigue,
you
know.
G
I
wonder
if,
if
just
a
question
for
the
group
is
this
an
opportunity
to
to
sort
of
give
out
a
positive
message
that
the
things
we're
doing
are
working
so
please
keep
your
masks
on,
keep
doing
what
you're
doing
it's,
having
an
impact
and
and
sort
of
demonstrate
that
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
if
there's
an
opportunity
for
that
or
not,
but
the
mr
mayor,
maybe
something
like
that
coming
from
your
office
to
say:
hey
we're,
you
know
we're
we're
we're
winning
we're
doing
some
things.
G
Well,
keep
up
the
good
work.
You
know
that
kind
of
an
atta
boy
at
a
girl
type
message.
I
don't
know
if
that
would
work
or
not,
but
just
a
thought.
Well,.
F
That's
a
good
thought
and
I've
certainly
tried
to
relate
similar
tones
in
my
messages
about
keeping
up
our
guard,
but
also
congratulating
and
thanking
the
citizens
of
charleston
for
being
more
mindful
about
mass
wearing
and
their
health
and
than
what
I
perceive
and
what
I
hear
has
occurred
in
other
places.
But
but
you
know
you
can't
rest
on
your
laurels.
We
got
to
keep
this
up.
F
F
Better
success
rate
than
those
jurisdictions
that
did
not,
I
was
speaking
to
a
counterpart
just
recently
over
the
holidays
in
greenville,
where
ironically,
greenville
county
having
over
500
000
in
population,
was
the
only
juris
local
jurisdiction
in
south
carolina
to
receive
direct
care's
money
and-
and
his
comment
to
me
was
that
the
county
had
done
until
recently,
very
little
in
a
proactive
sense
about
policy
or
otherwise
to
promote
mass
or
put
any
ordinances
in
place
and-
and
I
I
think,
there's
a
real
difference
in
in
what
we've
seen
I
I
wish
I
had
gotten
their
their
their
financial
support,
but
anyway
you're
right.
F
We
just
need
to
keep
preaching
the
message
apart,
thanking
folks
and
and
and
and-
and
I
say
if
you
hadn't
gotten
your
guard
up-
yet
it's
not
too
late
to
get
your
guard
up
and
put
your
mask
on.
We,
we
still
got
a
few
months
to
go
to
try
to
get
to
a
place
where
we
got
the
herd
immunity.
I
call
it
the
herd
mentality,
but
I
use
the
wrong
word.
A
J
Sure,
thanks
and
I
really
appreciate,
tracy
and
pulling
together
the
numbers
each
time.
I
think
she
and
the
city
do
a
great
job
of
of
presenting
what
is
going
on
with.
I
know
with
some
musc
assistants.
So
thanks
for
that,
the
one
thing
just
as
far
as
data
and
this
sort
of
goes
along
with
with
what
dan
and
and
the
mayor
were
just
saying.
J
But
another
thing
is
really
the
testing,
and
so
just
looking
at
statewide
numbers,
you
know
we
tested
not
we
just
d
hack,
but
we
the
state
more
people
tested
in
december
than
any
other
month.
J
To
date,
we
had
more
than
553
000
people
test
and
440
000
of
those
were
testing
for
the
first
time,
and
so
I
think
that
sort
of
testing,
frequently
message
testing
if
you're
symptomatic
testing,
if
you've
been
exposed,
testing,
if
you've,
traveled
and
just
testing
when
you're
out
and
about
in
the
community,
is
a
message
that
I
think
that
mayor
certainly
did
a
good
job
with
some
of
his
messaging
in
december.
J
About
that
and-
and
I
think
is
a
message
that
we
can
continue
to
try
to
spread
in
the
community
that
that
yes,
there's
lie
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
with
the
vaccine,
but
but
the
testing
is
going
to
continue
to
be
a
big
component
of
our
response
until
we
do
reach
herd
immunity
other
than
that,
I
assume
most
of
what's
on
people's
minds.
These
days
is
the
vaccine.
J
So
I'm
happy
to
you
know,
address
any
questions
other
than
the
vaccine,
but
I
thought
I
would
sort
of
spend
some
time
addressing
that.
Many
of
us
likely
heard
the
governor's
press
conference
yesterday
read
about
it
in
the
paper
this
morning,
but
he
is
encouraging
dhec
and
the
state
to
move
as
quickly
as
possible
to
get
as
many
people
vaccinated
as
possible,
and
so
there
will
there'll
be
some
changes
coming
out
from
dhec
in
the
coming
days
to
help
make
that
a
reality.
J
But
basically
his
mandate
was
for
those
in
phase
1a,
meaning
really
the
sort
of
healthcare
providers
we
we
are.
The
the
moderna
vaccine
right
now
is
going
to
long-term
care
facilities,
both
residents
and
staff,
and
that
federal
program
that
the
the
dhec
allocates
vaccine,
but
that's
really
being
run
at
the
federal
level.
So
that
will
continue
as
it
has
been,
but
that
the
the
sort
of
other
phase
1a
group
providers
there
will
be
a
huge
push
to
have.
J
Those
providers
receive
the
vaccine
or
schedule
their
appointment
for
the
vaccine
by
january.
The
15th,
and
that
will
be
accomplished
by
the
help
of
the
hospital
systems
that
are
already
getting
vaccines
in
south
carolina.
And
we
are
very
appreciative
for
their
help
and
as
tracy
showed
with
her
numbers.
J
Musc
and
roper
have
certainly
done
a
great
job,
not
only
vaccinating
their
own
employees
but
now
are
reaching
out
to
the
community
and
also
assisting
in
and
vaccinating
certain
community
health
providers,
as
well
as
our
first
responders,
and
so
it
will
not
only
involve
those,
but
there
will
be
additional
vaccine
providers
brought
online
in
the
next
week
or
two
at
least
92
have
been
activated
as
of
yesterday.
J
So
those
are
vaccine
providers
that
had
applied
and
have
been
approved
and
now
have
been
activated
so
we'll
be
able
to
put
in
requests
for
a
vaccine
and
receive
that
from
our
enlightenment,
and
we
hope
that
that
helps
to
increase
access
to
the
vaccine
across
the
state
outside
of
the
the
health
care
systems
that
have
been
providing
the
vaccine
as
well,
so
so
we're
at
now
704
approved
coveted
providers
and
that
those
include
primary
care,
subspecialty
care,
fqhcs,
rural
health,
free
clinics,
retail
pharmacies
and
I
don't
have
an
exact
breakdown
of
the
92
that
have
been
activated,
but
that
those
numbers
will
continue
to
to
increase.
J
So
that
mean
providers
have
been
approved,
and
now
we
will
work
to
continue
to
expand
those
that
are
able
to
to
give
out
the
vaccine.
Dhec
also
will
begin
providing
the
vaccine
soon.
Other
than
that,
you
know,
there's
we're
getting
a
lot
of
questions.
No
doubt
you're
getting
a
lot
of
questions.
For
what
phase
am
I
in?
When
can
I
get
the
vaccine?
Where
can
I
get
the
vaccine?
When
am
I
going
to
get
the
vaccine?
J
If
I'm
a
vaccine
provider-
and
we
are
really
working
around
the
clock
to
to
sort
of
put
those
processes
in
place-
you
know
what
I
can
say
is-
I
think
south
carolina
is
similar
to
much
of
the
rest
of
the
country
and
similar
to
much
of
the
rest
of
the
world
that
that
providing
vaccine
to
the
public
is
not
going
as
quickly
as
we
had
hoped,
but
we
are
already
seeing
and
continue
to
believe
that
that
distribution
will
increase
in
the
coming
days
and
and
weeks.
J
So
our
dhec
website
is
it's
sort
of
the
single
best
source
of
information.
Right
now
it's
updated
daily.
There
are
also
a
number
of
email
addresses
that
individuals
can
can
query
if
they're
have
questions
about
where
they
are.
But
you
know
one:
a
we've
already
talked
about.
One
b
really
began
begins
to
get
into
person
75
and
older,
regardless
of
comorbidities,
as
well
as
front
line
essential
workers,
so
essential
workers
who,
by
the
nature
of
their
job,
are
at
increased
risk
for
exposure
to
coven.
J
Some
of
those
include
firefighters,
law
enforcement
corrections,
officers,
food
and
agricultural
workers,
those
working
for
the
postal
service
and
manufacturing
in
grocery
stores
on
public
transit
and
our
teacher
support
staff
and
daycare
workers
in
the
educational
system,
so
that
that
will
be
the
the
group
1b.
The
phase
1b
dhec
is
basically
taking
the
recommendations
of
cdc
and
and
applying
those
to
to
south
carolina.
J
That
will
be
followed
by
phase
one
c
and
that
will
be
person,
65-74
person
16
to
64,
with
a
high
risk
medical
condition
and
essential
workers
that
were
not
covered
in
phases,
1a
and
and
1b.
J
So
exactly
where
and
when
folks
in
1b
and
1c
will
begin
getting,
the
vaccine
will
not
only
be
announced
on
the
website,
but
we
hope
to
use
many
different
methods
of
getting
the
word
out,
including
the
help
of
all
of
you
on
this
call
when
those
those
decisions
are
made.
J
Other
than
that,
I
I
did
want
to
just
mention
briefly.
The
one
silver
lining
of
this
year
of
the
code
of
pandemic
is
that,
so
far
flu
is
virtually
non-existent
in
our
communities.
So
we
do
continue
to
recommend
the
vaccine.
J
We
certainly
have
several
months
left
of
what
is
the
typical
flu
season,
but
we,
the
recommendation
from
the
cdc,
is
that
if
you
receive
the
flu
vaccine,
you
do
need
to
wait
for
14
days
to
receive
the
covered
vaccine
or
vice
versa,
so
they
cannot
be
given
the
same
day
or
any
closer
together
than
than
14
days
and
then.
Lastly,
I
don't
have
much
an
update,
but
did
want
to
just
bring
up
our
fast
track
cities
initiative
to
end
the
hiv
epidemic.
J
We
several
of
us
are
meeting
this
afternoon.
Just
talk
about
next
steps.
Our
grant
application
was
not
funded
in
december,
so
we
are
going
back
to
the
drawing
board
for
for
thinking
about
sort
of
how
to
to
move
forward
on
that
of
the
state
is
finalizing
the
statewide
ending
the
epidemic's
plan,
and
we
will
work
to
align
with
that
and
we'll
continue
to
bring
you
information
as
we
have
it
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
H
Joey,
hey
dr
richardson,
so
with
with
the
understanding
that
the
vaccine
is
a
two-dose,
you
know
procedure
so
that
folks
will
get
one
dose
and
then
depending
on
which,
which
type
of
vaccine
they'll
have
to
wait
somewhere
somewhere
around
21
to
28
days
later.
To
get
that
second
dose
there
is.
There
is
some
concern
with
supply
and
demand
that
folks
will
get
that
first
dose,
and
then
we
will.
H
You
know
they'll
have
to
wait
a
little
while
to
get
that
second
dose
depending
on
if
we
provide
that
first
dose
wide
spread
or
if
we
hold
back
some
with
the
understanding
that
a
bunch
of
folks
are
going
to
need
that
second
dose
right
away.
My
question
is:
do
you
do
you
have
know
off
the
top
of
your
head?
The
percent
effectiveness
of
just
one
dose
of
the
vaccine
versus
having
the
complete
series.
J
But
but
I
do
think
you
know,
I
and
someone
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
it's
over
50
effective
is,
is
what
at
least
the
pfizer
studies
found
with
the
one
dose.
That
being
said,
the
cdc
and
the
fda
continue
to
recommend
that
the
vaccines
be
given
as
they
were,
studied,
which
is
the
full
dose
given
in
the
tudor
series,
either
21
or
28
days
apart.
J
Dr
fauci
as
well
does
say:
yes
we're.
You
know
going
back
and
looking
at
some
of
the
some
of
the
different
arms
that
were
done,
I
think
maybe
it
was.
The
madurana
study
did
have
some
people
who
received
half
of
the
dose
and
they're
going
back
to
sort
of
pull
those
blood,
samples
and
restudy
them.
J
But
at
this
point
in
time
the
plan
is
to
continue
as
the
sort
of
emergency
authorization
was
based
on
the
studies
of
the
two
doses
and
we're
gonna
watch
what
other
countries
are
doing,
because
certainly
we
know
that
great
britain
is
is
choosing
to
to
do
things
a
little
differently.
But
at
this
point
in
time,
until
we
have
further
notice
from
the
cdc
and
fda,
we
will
continue
with
we're
asking
hospitals
not
to
save
back.
For
that
second
dose.
J
We
are
sort
of
ensuring
that
that
second
dose
is
sent.
In
addition
to
you
know
the
supply
of
first
doses
to
hospital
systems
so
that
they
don't
need
to
save,
but
they
will
get
the
number
that
they
need
to
provide
that
second
dose
on
the
time
schedule.
That's
recommended.
I
K
I
Sorry,
that's
though,
of
course,
coronavirus
is
top
of
mind.
It
is
encouraging
to
hear
what's
happening
with
the
flu.
Do
you
attribute
that
to
people
simply
being
much
more
aware,
because
of
course,
flu
is
generally
considered
so
impactful
in
south
carolina
with
people
not
getting
the
vaccine
traditionally
you've
seen
a
change
in
that.
J
Well,
I
I
do
attribute
it
mostly
to
to
serve
the
same
things
that
that
we
are
doing
to
prevent
coven,
also
prevent
the
flu
so
the
frequent
hand
washing
the
wearing
of
mass,
the
staying
home
when
ill.
All
of
those
things
also
prevent
transmission
of
flu.
We
did
see
lower
flu
numbers
in
the
southern
hemisphere
and
weren't
sure.
If
that
was
going
to
translate
and
again,
we
certainly
don't
know
if
the
flu
numbers
will
continue
to
be
low
into
the
spring,
but
but
we
are
grateful
that
that
is
the
case.
J
E
Paul
katie,
I'm
hearing
from
some
of
the
young
people
around
their
concerns
of
what
they
heard
from
australia
earlier
about
the
side
effects
of
of
the
vaccine
of
from
hiv
to
to
fertility
issues
etc.
Are
we
I
know?
There's
campaigns
out
there
and
there's
been
some
good
articles
in
the
paper
and
all,
but
it
seems
like
that's
a
market
that
really
needs
to
to.
We've
got
to
focus
on
making
sure
they
realize
that
they're,
not
invincible,
and
they
need
to
get
the
shots.
E
Just
as
well-
and
I
didn't
know
whether
there
was
anything
on
age
group
specific
going
out
to
to
help
try
to
to
try
to
ease
the
mind
that
what
we
have
is
a
good
safe
product
to
go
forth
with.
J
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question.
We
are
certainly
developing
outreach
materials,
all
all
sorts
of
demographics
right
now
we're
really
sort
of
concentrating
on
the
healthcare
providers-
and
you
know
the
one
benefit
for
young
people-
is
that
there
will
be
so
many
others
that
get
it
before
them.
Unless
they
have
a
high
risk
medical
condition
because
they
will
they,
they
basically
will
mostly
fall
in
the
phase
two
unless
they
because
of
their
job
or
that
sort
of
thing
fall
in
an
earlier
phase.
J
We
know
that
vaccine
misinformation
is
a
huge
topic
and
we
are
working
diligently
and
certainly
our
partners
are
well
to
combat
that
and
use
evidence
to
show
that
that
these
vaccines
were
well
studied
that,
yes,
people
have,
you
know
pain
in
their
arms.
Many
people
have
pain
in
their
arms
that
there's
also
some
fatigue.
J
Some
joint
pains
and
muscle
pains,
but
those
are
time,
limited
that
they
are
not
severe
and
they
can
be
treated
with
ibuprofen
or
tylenol
and
that
that
is
really
more
than
a
side
effect.
It's
really
a
sign
that
these
vaccines,
that
our
immune
system
is
responding
to
the
vaccine
and
will
be
ready
to
fight
off
the
infection.
If
and
when
we
are
exposed
in
the
future,
and
so
that's
that's
where
we
are
with
that
right
now.
J
But
we
will
continue
to
to
roll
out
new
campaigns,
as
will
the
cdc
and
our
partners,
as
as
new
sort
of
groups
are,
you
know,
are,
are
in
line
to
receive
the
vaccine.
F
Yeah
a
comment
and
a
question:
katie
thanks
for
all
you
do
personally
and
it's
clear
that
d
heck
is
the
the
gatekeeper
of
this
effort
here
in
south
carolina,
as
tracy
mentioned,
we've
actually
activated
incident
team
to
be
of
any
assist
that
we
can
and-
and
so
I
know
with
new
protocol
coming
out-
and
I
applaud
you
all
trying
to
ramp
things
up.
F
F
Everybody
on
the
committee,
because
one
thing
that
I
think
we
can
all
do
right
now
is
is
just
to
to
get
the
information
out
that
that
katie
d
heck
that
the
other
health
care
providers
provide
and
try
our
best
to
get
it
out
to
the
public
now,
even
before
they
can
line
up
to
to
get
the
vaccine
to
go
ahead
and
satisfy
people's
questions
about
the
vaccine
of
the
side
effects.
F
If
you
will,
but
I
I
would
stress
the
benefits
of
of
the
vaccine
more
than
carolyn,
I
must
admit
I
was
watching
one
of
the
channels.
I
I
hate
to
say
I
don't
recall
if
it
was
two
or
four
last
night.
It
was
one
of
the
two
where
the
lead
of
the
story
was
about
the
side
effects
you
know.
Maybe
the
lead
of
this
story
ought
to
be
about
the
great
benefit
that
will
come
to
our
community.
Once
everybody
gets
vaccinated,
yeah.
F
Us
you
get
a
shot
in
the
arm.
Yeah,
it
hurts
a
little
bit.
You
know,
okay,
I
mean
duh
so,
but
I
think
the
more
information
we
can
get
out
to
the
public
about
the
frequently
asked
questions
and
answers
the
better
we're
going
to
be
so
that,
as
as
the
governor
said
yesterday,
you
know
once
it's
available.
We
want
you
to
step
up
to
the
plate
and
go
ahead
and
get
the
shot
as
opposed
to
you
know.
Well
I
don't
know
you
know,
let's
go
ahead
and
try
to
answer
those
questions
now.
J
Yeah,
I
think
those
are
great
points
and
we
certainly
welcome
any
assistance
with
both
the
getting
the
vaccine
out
to
our
communities
as
well
as
getting
the
word
out,
and
I
do
think
that
already
you
know
the
number
of
health
care
providers
who
have
gotten
the
vaccine-
and
you
know,
put
themselves
on
social
media
and
talked
about
the
benefits.
And
you
know
what
what
sort
of
side
effects
of
any
they've
had
and
how
they've
overcome
them
quickly.
H
J
To
assist
us
in
in
in
working
with
all
different
segments
of
our
population
to
ensure
that
the
trusted
voices
in
all
communities,
you
know
help
help
to
get
the
word
out
about
the
benefits
of
the
vaccine,
the
risk
of
the
getting
the
infection,
and
so
that
everyone
will
be
ready
to
to
come
to
the
vaccine
clinic
when
they,
when
they
are
called.
A
Any
other
questions
for
dr
richardson,
I
I
kind
of
see
dr
annie
andrews,
leaning
in
a
little
bit.
I
don't
know
if
you
would
like
to
take
some
time
and
share
some
things
with
us.
D
Oh
no,
I
was
just
agreeing
with
everything
dr
richardson
saying
I
think
she's
got
excellent
messaging
and
anecdotally.
I
got
my
second
dose
yesterday
and
I
feel
great
today
my
husband
did
as
well
so
yeah
we're
trying
to
share
as
much
as
we
can
on
social
media.
I
think
that's
a
really
good
strategy.
A
G
Kevin
really
not
much
to
report
now,
I'm
general
walters
is
going
to
be
holding
a
a
town
hall
meeting
this
afternoon
at
15
30,
to
give
us
an
update
on
on
our
plans
going
forward
and
I'd
be
happy
to
share
any
results
from
that
out
to
the
group
afterwards.
But
we're
going
to
have
sort
of
a
state
of
the
union
address
a
little
bit
later
this
afternoon.
So
not
much
great.
Thank
you.
H
Nope
just
happy
to
have
the
opportunity
to
be
astounding
board
for
all
this
great
messaging
to
share
it
out
amongst
all
three
of
our
counties:
okay,
great
and.
A
Paul
do
we
have
anything
further
here.
I.
E
Think
we
have
have
had
a
good
discussion
today
and
I
really
with
jennifer's
words.
I
know
the
mayor.
We
talked
about
coveted,
getting
the
message
out,
but
all
that
we've
got
with
mental
health.
I
gave
everybody
her
powerpoint
earlier
this
morning
and
if
you
would
just
keep
her
contacts
available
to
you,
I
mean
just
so
much.
We've
got
great
resources,
but
people
just
need
to
know
about
them
as
much
as
possible.
So
whatever
we
can
do,
I
really
appreciate
any
help
on
it.
Okay,
great.
E
Kevin,
I
I
will
say
one
last
thing:
I'm
going
to
send
out,
we
will
be
doing
the
first
wednesday
of
every
month
and
I'll
send
out
that
calendar
to
you
in
a
the
next
in
the
next
couple
hours
just,
but
I
also
send
out
a
calendar
invite
if
I
hadn't
already
to
remind
everybody
about
our
meetings.
The
first
wednesday
at
9am,
okay,
great
paul,
and
my
last
comment-
is
that
anton
reached
out
to
me
and
mayor.
E
I'm
not
sure
I
thought
he
tried
to
reach
you,
but
anton
is
going
to
be
leaving
our
our
musc
community
and
from
our
committee
to
go
to
work
on
the
personal
side
of
the
great
speech
or
a
speech
maker
that
he
is
a
motivator
that
we
we
will
have
him
in
our
community.
But
we
won't
have
him
on
our
committee
or
at
msc
in
the
future.
So
we're
going
to
miss
him.
Yeah.
A
A
Will
well
I
want
to
tell
everybody.
Thank
you
a
lot
of
positive
things
in
this
meeting
and
as
we
turn
the
new
year,
and
hopefully
things
will
continue
to
stay
positive
and
we'll
continue
to
you
know,
see
things
move
in
a
great
direction
with
the
vaccine,
and
hopefully
that
translates
into
the
number
of
cases
beginning
to
reduce-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
all
your
great
work.
A
Obviously,
it's
been
mentioned
that
charleston
has
come
out
a
lot
better
than
some
other
places,
and
I
a
lot
of
that
credit
should
go
to
the
people
on
this
committee,
because
we've
taken
the
advice-
and
you
know
have
shared
information
that
I
think
is-
has
helped
us
be
stronger.
Certainly
the
weather
plays
into
that,
but
I
think
this
committee
does
as
well
so
before
I
leave.
I
do
see
maggie
showing
up
just
want
to
make
sure
she
doesn't
have
something
before
we
adjourn
maggie.
E
Kevin
she
she
did
send
something
in
the
chat.
A
quick
update
that
their
nurses
are
getting
vaccinated.
Currently,
winter
athletics
are
still
suspended,
for
the
moment
will
be
reevaluated
on
monday.
Their
board
of
trustees
meeting
this
upcoming
monday
january
11th
for
their
monthly
committee
of
the
whole
meeting.
E
There's
a
great
presentation
at
their
last
board
of
trustees,
meeting
on
december
14th
by
dr
richardson
and
dr
allison
eckert
from
mbsc
on
covid
cases
in
schools
and
how
transmission
with
the
class
within
the
classroom
has
been
very
low,
based
on
contact,
tracing,
etc,
and
that
can
be
viewed
on
youtube.
So
that's
what
she
wanted
to
to
to
send
out
great.
A
Thank
you
so
much
maggie
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
in
the
schools
too.
We
appreciate
it
so
and
if
we
don't
have
anything
further,
I
guess
we'll
stand
adjourned
and
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
and
keep
up
all
the
great
work.
Thank
you
so
much
thanks.
