Good
morning
my
name
is
Hillary
Armstrong
and
I'm,
a
public
information
officer
with
the
County
of
Santa,
Clara
and
I'm
here
with
Mary
animals,
who's
also
a
public
information
officer.
We
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
today
there
is
some
essential
roadwork
happening
right
outside
of
our
studios.
So
if
you
hear
this
soothing
sound
of
jackhammers
in
the
background
we
apologize
and
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
today
we
also
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
we
removed
our
face
coverings
for
this
segment.
B
This
allows
our
American
sign
language
interpreter
to
better
understand
what
we
are
saying,
but
please
note
that
we
will
be
putting
those
face
coverings
right
back
on
when
this
segment
is
finished.
Another
announcement
for
you
all
is
that
we
are
moving
our
Facebook
live
schedule
to
Mondays
Wednesdays
and
Fridays
at
10
a.m.
starting
this
week.
So
our
next
Facebook
live
section
session
will
be
this
coming
Wednesday.
B
You
may
have
noticed
that
our
Kovan
19
case
dashboards
were
not
updated
over
the
weekend.
This
was
due
to
a
data
update
in
the
state's
reportable
disease
information
exchange,
and
we
will
be
updating
that
dashboard
later
today,
with
the
current
numbers,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Mariana
thanks
Hilary.
So.
C
Today
we
are
going
to
be
talking
about
social
distancing
and
what
that
means,
because
there
does
seem
to
be
some
confusion
about
what
it
means:
the
social
distance
away
from
people
who
are
not
in
your
household,
in
other
words,
people
who
don't
live
with
you.
We
can
see
the
101
and
there
are
way
too
many
cars
on
there
and
unless
a
lot
more
people
became
essential
workers.
You
all
are
been
in
the
rules
a
little
bit
so
for
the
next
couple.
C
Minutes,
Hillary
and
I
are
gonna,
demonstrate
in
a
very
cheesy
way
what
it
means
a
socially
distance
properly.
So
for
this
segment,
a
couple
minutes
Hillary
is
no
longer
my
colleague
she
represents
my
so
I
live
alone.
My
sister,
my
parents,
my
best
friend
from
college
that
I
haven't
seen
so
given
that
Hillary
I
think
you're
a
little
too
close.
Okay,
okay,.
C
C
B
So
today
we
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we
are
staying
connected
and
acknowledge
is
a
very
real
sense
that
this
is
hard.
We
have
different
situations
at
home.
Like
Mariana
mentioned,
she
lists
she
lives
alone.
I
live
with
my
family
and
I
will
say
my
five-year-old
no
fan
of
video
chat.
B
She
treats
it
as
if
she's
being
interrogated,
which
makes
it
very
difficult
to
maintain
those
connections
with
her
grandparents
and
with
our
friends
and
family
and-
and
you
know,
I
haven't
seen
my
parents
since
early
February
I
really
really
miss
them.
It's
been
hard
not
to
see
them,
and
especially
during
this
time
that
is
so
difficult
for
all
of
us.
So
we
acknowledge
that
it's
super
super
hard,
but
we
also
implore
you
to
keep
abiding
by
the
public
health
officer
orders.
Yes,.
C
It's
been
very
difficult,
it's
very
stressful,
especially
if
you
live
alone
and
I
have
a
lot
of
friends
who
do
do
live
alone,
and
that's
just
the
reality
of
it.
I
haven't
seen
my
family
and
month,
and
but
we
are
staying
connected
over
video
chat
and
over
the
phone.
I
called
my
aunt
the
other
day
and
I've
never
talked
with
her
on
the
phone
before
so.
C
There
are
silver
linings
to
this
right,
but
it's
a
huge
adjustment
and
we
we
really
recognize
that
so
another
thing
we
do
want
to
bring
up
is
the
grocery
store,
has
suddenly
become
the
hot
spot
in
town.
So
just
because
there's
a
line
outside
doesn't
mean
that's
where
you
want
to
be.
In
fact,
if
you
see
a
line
outside,
you
might
think
to
yourself.
Do
I
really
need
to
go
to
the
grocery
store
right
now,
because
we
Hillary
and
I
are
making
huge
adjustments
and
how
often
we're
going
to
the
grocery
store.
C
B
And
I
think
you
know,
I
think
it's
really
every
trip
for
me,
I,
think
about
which
essential
workers
out
there
are
putting
themselves,
and
you
know
out
there
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we
still
have
the
food
we
need
on
the
table
and
that
we
can
continue
our
lives
and
so
I
try
to
minimize
as
much
as
possible,
even
with
a
very
voracious
five-year-old
appetite.
We've
been
trying
to
limit
our
trips
to
one
time
per
week.
B
Of
course,
we're
wearing
our
face
coverings,
we're
only
sending
one
member
of
the
household,
not
our
entire
family,
as
much
as
my
five-year-old
would
love
to
get
out
of
the
house
with
me
and
I'm
in
following
all
of
the
social
distancing
protocols
when
we're
in
the
store.
So
we
just
want
to
remind
you
all.
This
is
imperative
to
protecting
the
health
of
our
community
and
the
health
of
our
essential
frontline
workers
and.
C
B
C
Six
feet
is
for
when
you
go
to
the
grocery
store
or
you
go
to
get
medications,
it's
not
for
having
happy
hours
in
your
front
yard,
or
you
know,
visiting
your
sister
and
her
kids
and
their
their
driveway.
You
know
the
six
feet
is
for
when
you
have
to
go
out
for
essential
activities.
It's
not
how
we
socialize
nowadays
yeah
how
we
socialize
nowadays
is
virtually
and
on
the
phone
and
over
social
media
and
hopefully
you're
able
to
make
those
adjustments
yeah.
Basically,
if.
B
You
have
to
shout
to
have
a
conversation,
then
you're
at
the
right
doing
it
correctly.
So
it's
really
about
minimizing
contacts,
and
you
know,
even
though
that
you
know
driveway
happy-hour,
where
everyone's
six
feet
apart
might
seem
harmless.
You
were
still
exponentially
exposing
your
friends
and
yourselves
and
you're
spending
more
time
together,
thereby
increasing
chances.
So
really
the
intent
of
this
order
is
to
minimize
contact
and.
C
We
know
now
that
at
least
25%
of
people
do
not
have
symptoms
while
they
are
infectious,
so
that
is
a
lot
of
people
walking
around
thinking
that
they're
not
spreading
anything
when
potentially
they
could
be,
and
so
that
is
another
Public,
Health
science-based
reason
to
not
be
socializing
in
each
other's
front
yards
not
to
be
talking
to
your
neighbor
over
the
hedge.
You
know
you
should
be
calling
on
the
phone.
B
B
We
also,
you
know
on
that
note,
have
issued
some
guidance
on
our
learn:
what
to
do
section
of
our
webpage
for
folks
who
live
apartment
complexes
or
areas
that
are
more
more
densely
populated
to
understand
how
to
minimize
risks
and,
as
you
know,
from
our
other
media
and
social
media
channels,
we
are
making
Herculean
efforts
to
make
sure
we
have
shelter
and
for
vulnerable
folks
in
our
unhoused
population
as
well.
So
you
can
learn
more
about
those
efforts
on
our
website
and
social
media
channels.
B
C
This
it
like
I,
said
before
this
is
a
selfless
thing,
but
it's
also
an
evidence-based
practice
that
we
know
works,
and
so,
when
you
go
out
just
think
about
the
retail
workers
and
the
construction
workers
and
anybody
else
who
is
out
there
for
essential
reasons
that
you
could
potentially
be
exposing
them
because
you're
bored
at
home
and
you
like
I'm
gonna,
go
to
the
grocery
store.
So
really
keep
that
in
mind.
That's
what
I
keep
in
mind
before
I
go
to
the
grocery
store
or
do
anything
that's
essential.
C
B
You
for
your
time
today
we
know
this
is
hard.
We
know
that
it's
a
huge
hardship
for
you
and
your
families,
and
we
know
that
it's
hard
to
stay
connected
when
being
connected
is
important.
Now
more
than
ever,
and
we're
here
to
hear
those
concerns,
but
we're
here
to
tell
you
that
the
best
way
to
slow
the
spread
and
save
lives
is
to
stay
home
and
only
make
essential
trips
and
to
minimize
those
essential
trips
out
of
your
house
and
take.
C
B

you
