B
Or
by
just
thanking
our
speaker,
Nancy
Pelosi
thank
leadership
of
the
Senate,
particularly
Chuck
Schumer,
for
the
stimulus
bill
that
was
just
announced.
We
are
hopeful
that
it
will
not
only
pass
but
hopeful
it
will
fulfill
the
promises
that
are
being
made
in
terms
of
its
impact.
No
one
is
I
naive
about
the
magnitude
of
this
crisis
and
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
the
magnitude
of
this
stimulus
will
even
meet
the
moment.
B
I
certainly
have
strong
points
of
view
that
they'll
need
to
be
more
in
the
future,
but
let
me
just
acknowledge
good
work
and
let
me
just
acknowledge
progress
and
that
progress
is
manifest.
The
state
of
California
by
our
back-of-the-envelope
estimate.
As
we
process
more
of
the
details
of
the
stimulus
bill,
will
be
the
beneficiary
of
over
ten
billion
dollars.
Just
in
the
state
Block
Grant
portion
of
the
package,
some
five
point:
five
billion
alone
will
go
to
the
state
itself.
B
The
rest
will
go
to
our
cities
and
counties
that
does
not
include
all
of
the
other
specific,
very
direct
support.
That
is
also
part
of
the
stimulus
bill.
This
bill
will
be
very
helpful
and
it's
very
timely
as
we're
in
the
process
of
distributing
billions
and
billions
of
dollars
of
cash
to
procure
PPE
to
procure
locations
and
sites
to
secure
the
safety,
the
public,
health
and
safety
of
the
people
of
the
state
of
California.
B
So,
on
behalf
of
the
nation's
largest
state
as
governor
of
the
world's
fifth
largest
economy
in
the
state
of
California,
let
me
applaud
the
speaker.
Applaud
Senator
Schumer,
applaud
the
Democratic
leadership
and
the
compromise
that
was
advanced
with
Republicans
for
meeting
this
moment.
Noting
that
this
moment
in
a
week
or
two
maintenance
hesitate
further
moments
of
support,
particularly
in
individuals
not
just
States,
not
just
a
businesses,
not
just
two
industries,
but
two
individuals
themselves
that
have
been
most
impacted
by
this
virus.
B
And
let
me
be
specific
about
what
I
mean
by
that
we're
very
pleased
with
the
increase
in
unemployment
benefits
up
to
$600.
On
top
of
what
states
are
already
providing
in
the
state
of
California.
We
provide
on
a
weekly
basis,
unemployment
insurance
grants
from
anywhere
from
$40
to
as
much
as
four
hundred
and
fifty
dollars,
and
this
package
would
provide
for
an
additional
six
hundred
dollars
on
top
of
that.
So
for
over
a
thousand
dollars
a
week
for
many
Californians
and
by
the
way,
the
reason
I
say
it's
timely.
B
We
just
passed
the
1
million
mark
in
terms
of
the
number
of
claims
just
since
March
13th,
1
million
Californians
have
now
claimed
the
need
to
get
unemployment
insurance.
So
this
cannot
happen
soon
enough.
But
the
magnitude
of
what
happened
in
2008
is
still
manifest
for
millions
of
Californians.
We
still
have
people
that
are
struggling
to
get
back
to
where
they
were
before
the
Great
Recession
that
most
recently
was
defined
by
Lehman
day
September
15th
2008,
which
marked
an
important
moment.
B
People
are
older
and
still
struggling,
and
so
these
are
individuals
that
once
again
are
disproportionately
being
impacted
by
this
moment,
and
that's
why
I
say
we
need
to
focus
on
those
faces
on
their
stories,
not
just
the
face
of
government,
not
just
the
face
of
business,
but
on
the
faces
of
individuals
day
in
and
day
out
that
are
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
struggling
to
feed
their
family
to
feed
themselves
to
get
to
the
needs
of
their
small
businesses.
Small
businesses
need
more
support.
Small
business
is
not
something
for
me.
That's
an
abstract.
B
I
am
proud
to
have
created
23
small
businesses
in
the
state
of
California
and
employed
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
workers.
I
have
deep
appreciation
and
respect
for
the
entrepreneurs
throughout
this
country,
and
certainly
in
the
state
of
California
and
I,
can
assure
you,
even
with
the
significant
improvement
advanced
by
leadership
of
Nancy,
Pelosi
and
Chuck
Schumer.
We
still
need
to
do
more
for
small
business
for
nonprofits
and
others.
So
again,
I
want
to
just
complement
the
work
that
was
done.
B
We
are
very
supportive
here
in
the
state
of
California,
of
advancing
this
bill
and
having
that
stimulus
do
the
work
that
we
are
all
hopeful.
It
will
do
in
real
time.
We've
had
wonderful
conversations
by
the
way
to
that
end.
Just
got
off
the
phone
with
Senator
Harris
who's
been
an
extraordinary
leader
for
our
state
working
hand-in-hand
with
our
partners
throughout
state
agencies,
local
agencies
and
nonprofits
to
work
to
delineate
exactly
what
we
needed
to
prioritize
senator
Feinstein.
Accordingly
and
I
can't
say
it
enough:
the
incredible
leadership
of
Speaker
Nancy
Pelosi.
B
But
when
we
talk
about
unemployment
insurance,
we
talk
about
a
$600
increase
beyond
what
states
are
already
providing
on
a
weekly
basis
for
the
next
four
months.
That
doesn't
mean
much
when
you
are
facing
the
burden
and
the
costs
associated
with,
for
example,
your
mortgage
residential
mortgages
being
top
of
mind.
I.
Imagine
for
families
all
across,
not
only
the
state
but
across
the
country.
B
That
is
significant,
but
the
nation's
bank.
We
were
encouraged
to
do
the
same
and
I'm
very
pleased
that
Wells
Fargo,
US,
Bank,
City
and
JP
Morgan
Chase
have
all
agreed
to
90
day
a
waiver
of
payments
for
those
that
have
been
impacted
by
kovat
19
and
that's
an
important
point
to
make.
It
is
significant
that
we
have
some
consistency.
It's
significant
that
we
don't
have
a
patchwork
one
bank
to
another.
That's
what
happened
in
2008
credit
unions.
Doing
one
thing:
banks
doing
another
state
banks
doing
something
altogether
different.
B
So
we
wanted
to
engage
our
nation's
largest
banks
and
see
if
we
create
some
continuity,
some
consistency
across
their
ranks
and
four
of
the
five
largest
institutions
committed
to
just
that
that
90-day,
unfortunately,
Bank
of
America
did
not
publicly
commit
to
that.
They
just
committed
to
30
days.
I
hope
they
will
reconsider
and
join
those
other
banks
that
are
willing
to
do
the
right
thing
by
at
least
extending
that
commitment
to
their
customers
for
90
days,
while
the
state
of
California
doesn't
have
regulatory
oversight
of
those
banks.
B
I'm
sensitive
to
that
and
I
know
that
the
banks
certainly
are
sensitive
to
that.
They
are
also
recognizing
the
sensitivity
to
their
customers,
not
just
on
the
issue
of
being
able
to
pay
their
mortgages
and
having
a
grace
period
for
90
days,
but
also
on
credit
ratings,
and
that's
also
part
of
the
broader
commitment
that
we
have
secured
by
those
nations.
Four
of
those
five
largest,
our
nation's
banks
and
all
of
the
state
charter.
B
I
also,
though,
recognize
while
significant
to
have
that
continuity
as
it
relates
to
residential
mortgages,
as
a
small
businessperson
you're
wondering
is
a
nonprofit
leader
as
a
church
leader,
you're
wondering
what's
in
store
in
terms
of
next
announcements,
next
steps
for
you
and
know
in
real
time.
We
are
also
working
with
those
same
institutions
to
socialize
some
continuity
and
some
consistency
to
help
you
as
well
so
know.
The
job
is
not
done.
We're
not
naive,
but
we
think
this
is
a
significant
announcement.
It's
not
just
a
release.
B
It
is
a
significant
of
framework
to
advance
commitments
that
we
have.
Absolute
certainty
are
real
based
upon
personal
commitments
that
I
received
directly
from
the
leaders
of
these
companies
again
with
the
exception.
Unfortunately,
the
Bank
of
America
I
also
want
to
just
make
a
few
comments
about
the
work
the
state
of
California
is
doing
to
meet
this
moment,
as
it
relates
to
the
needs
for
personal
protective
gear,
as
it
relates
to
anticipating
our
surge
capacity.
B
I
made
an
announcement
a
couple
days
ago
that
we're
looking
to
additional
50,000
hotels
or
rather
units
for
support
from
hotels,
motels,
skilled
nursing
facility
and
our
hospitals
to
find
additional
bed
capacity
for
acute
care
throughout
the
state
of
California.
In
terms
of
that,
50,000
number
30,000
was
going
to
come
from
an
increase
of
capacity
within
our
hospital
system,
roughly
40%
increase
in
their
capacity
and
their
footprint
and
the
rest
would
come
20,000
from
the
state
of
California
I'm
pleased
today
that
Seton
Hospital
was
one
of
those
early
announcements
we
made.
B
We
were
able
to
get
a
lease
on
Seton
and
seaton.
Now
is
already
operational
today,
that's
a
significant
milestone,
we're
not
just
having
conversations
in
the
abstract
about
finding
and
procuring
assets,
but
the
human
resources
necessary
to
operate
those
assets,
and
that
is
the
significance
of
Seton.
Today,
it
is
being
now
staffed
by
the
extraordinary
heroes,
our
nurses
and
doctors,
and
we
have
at
least
the
first
tranche
of
appropriate
personal
protective
gear
that
is
available
at
that
site.
B
Those
sites
are
already
unpacking
or
in
the
process
of
being
made
operational
I
mentioned
yesterday.
I
was
very
proud,
they're
right
behind
me
here
at
our
State
Emergency
Operations
Center.
We
have
the
leadership
of
the
USS
Mercy
that
are
here
and
we're
working
out
the
details
and
protocols
with
LA
County,
LA,
City
and
la
port
on
making
sure
that
site
is
prepared
and
prepped
for
Friday's
arrival
of
that
ship
and
Saturday
Sunday.
B
As
we
begin
to
process
the
possibility
of
first
individuals
to
come
on
board
the
configuration
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
reporting
up
to
a
thousand
beds.
A
lot
of
those
are
bunk
beds
may
not
be
ideal,
so
the
number
will
come
down
substantially
from
a
thousand.
It's
still
a
work
in
progress,
and,
quite
literally
that's
the
progress.
That's
been
made
in
real-time
here
in
our
operations
center.
So
well
now
it's
more
on
that
in
the
coming
days.
B
I
want
folks
to
know
that
we
have
already
distributed
24
point
two
million
n95
masks
in
the
state
of
California.
That
is
a
significant
number.
It's
still
insignificant
to
meet
our
needs.
I
was
very
pleased
today.
In
our
last
briefing,
we
have
now
secured
literally
100
million
new
n95
masks,
which
is
not
insignificant
but
again
still
requires
us
to
secure
and
support
additional
procurement
efforts.
B
But
that's
good
news
and
for
those
healthcare
leaders
that
are
demanding
more
and
deserve
more
I
want
them
to
know
when
those
get
off
the
docks
when
they
get
through
the
airport
and
customs
we're
going
to
get
them
out
as
quickly
as
we
human
Lee.
Possibly
can
those
procurements
are
not
just
limited
to
n95
masks
those
could
coveralls
and
gowns
and
shields,
and
the
like
and
we'll
make
those
numbers
public
as
well
for
those
that
are
interested
but
know
this
Herculean
effort
is
underway
and
it
is
taking
real
shape.
B
I'll
just
be
even
more
specific
I
mentioned
Sir,
Richard,
Branson
virgin
and
what
they
have
committed
to
747
to
Hong
Kong
to
come
back
into
Oakland
Airport,
there's
a
million
and
ninety-five
masks
that
are
part
of
that
manifest.
A
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
testing
kits
that
are
also
part
of
that
manifest.
This
is
all
hands
on
deck
or
at
least
on
board,
specifically
to
that
747.
It's
just
indication
of
the
work
that's
being
done.
Elon
Musk
announced
officially
a
1225
ventilators
well
in
excess
of
the
thousand.
He
said
he
was
going
to
get
us.
B
He
was
able
to
find
additional
225
and
distributed
those
throughout
our
hospitals.
I
mentioned
bloom
energy.
These
folks
deserve
recognition.
They
are
converting
now
about
30
a
day
of
our
ventilators
talk
about
repurposing
a
manufacturing
plant
to
meet
this
moment,
and
we've
got
30
of
our
514
ventilators
that
were
in
our
cache
at
EMSA
and
CD
pH,
and
they
are
repurposing
reconfiguring
those
assets
and
they
again
deserve
credit.
We
speak
about
tests,
I
note,
150,000
new
test
kits
coming
because
of
the
largesse
of
the
partnerships
with
Kaiser
with
Apple
and
virgin
doing
substantively
the
logistics.
B
The
testing
issues
are
incredibly
important
to
Californians
and
Americans.
We,
like
others,
have
been
very
vocal
about
the
issues
in
the
last
few
weeks,
around
reagents
RNA
extraction
kits
and
now,
with
new
technologies
coming
online
higher
processing
speeds
Automation
the
higher
throughput
that
you've
been
hearing
about
all
over
the
national
news,
we're
getting
those
operations
up
and
running.
As
a
consequence,
we
were
able
to
put
together
a
new
number
in
terms
of
the
tests
that
have
been
conducted
in
the
state
of
California,
as
of
yesterday
number
is
sixty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
thirty.
B
Nine
thousand
two
hundred
more
than
we
had
identified
the
previous
day
for
a
number
of
reasons.
Kaiser
is
finally
up
and
operational,
doing
12
thousand
tests
in
northern
in
Southern
California,
all
of
these
smaller
labs
coming
online,
and
finally,
we've
got
reporting
protocols
that
are
feeding
up
into
our
system.
We
had
the
original
22
labs
that
were
reporting
consistently.
We
then
got
the
commercial
labs,
be
a
quest
or
lab
core
to
start
reporting
in
and
then,
of
course,
our
academic
institutions,
our
hospitals
from
Stanford
UC,
our
Sutter,
affiliates
and
Kaiser,
now
more
fully
operational.
B
This
is
including
by
the
way
verily
the
Google
Affiliate.
That's
doing
these
field
tests
that
now
are
not
just
operationalizing
in
the
Bay
Area,
but
now
in
Sacramento
and
Riverside.
So
more
is
being
done
in
that
space,
but
let
me
acknowledge
in
the
outset,
sixty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
tests
is
not
enough,
and
it's
not
enough
for
a
reason
that
I
mentioned
yesterday
and
I'll
report
again
today,
and
that
is
it's
one
thing
to
do.
The
diagnostics
is
another
to
get
word
back
on.
B
The
test
results,
tens
of
thousands
of
those
tests
that
I
just
mentioned
are
waiting
for
the
results
to
be
finalized.
The
backlog
now
is
not
just
on
reagents
and
RNA
extraction
kits
and
on
the
swabs
themselves
and
the
media
to
transport,
the
swabs
and
the
collection
vials,
but
now
also
on
the
delay
in
getting
the
results
of
these
tests,
and
so
we
are
working
overtime.
We
had
a
conversation
today,
a
text
exchange.
The
company
says
they
could
provide
them
in
ten
minutes.
B
Others
are
providing
technology
say
we'll
get
them
back
in
45
minutes
we're
just
vetting
those,
and
we
are
working
collaboratively
with
our
team.
We've
got
a
full-time
task
force
just
on
testing
protocols
to
vet
these
technologies
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
being
taken
advantage
of,
because
one
thing
we
know
in
this
environment
there
are
extraordinary
people
and
they're
people
that
do
extraordinarily
bad
things,
and
so
I
also
want
to
exist.
B
Extend
that
doesn't
just
include
the
interface
with
government
people
claiming
that
we
need
to
send
the
equivalent
of
Bitcoin
in
advance
to
get
some
some
materials
before
they
can
send
them
and
questionable
activities
like
that.
But
I
also
want
people
to
look
out
for
your
own
consumer
protection.
More
phishing,
more
cyber
activity.
B
2535
individuals
as
of
this
morning
and
we
use
a
point
in
time-
10:00
a.m.
on
a
daily
basis
have
tested
positive
in
the
state
of
California
twenty-five
hundred
and
thirty
five
individuals.
That's
a
17%
increase
from
the
previous
day.
Tragically
fifty-three
lives
lost,
including
that
young
person
that
made
national
headlines
yesterday
and
just
a
point
of
caution
to
all
of
us
and
including
my
own
team.
B
We
as
I
know
people
are
eager
to
get
information
out
in
real
time
and
we
are
as
well
and
that
obviously
raised
alarm
bells
across
this
country,
because
this
individual
is
17
years
old.
It's
want
folks
to
know,
there's
a
protocol
and
process
now
and
investigating
what
occurred
there,
with
LA
County
with
CDC,
and
while
it
was
reported
to
the
state
of
California
through
the
county
that
information
it
was
reported
up.
We
all
I
think
reminded
in
this
moment
that
it's
not
just
speed
its
accuracy.
B
B
37
people
under
the
age
of
17
in
the
state
of
California
are
part
of
those
that
have
been
tested
positive
in
the
state
of
California.
So
three
dozen
young
folks
have
been
tested:
positive,
51
percent,
as
of
today
over
half
18
to
49
years
old,
over
half
of
you
18
to
49
that
tested
positive.
So
these
stay
at
home
orders
are
real
and
we
want
to
maintain
our
vigilance.
You
know
it's
interesting.
We
been
talking
about
the
Olympics
in
this
country,
one
of
the
things
that
all
the
greatest
sprinters
in
the
world
have
in
common.
B
They
don't
run
the
19-yard.
Let
us
not
run
the
90-yard
on
these
stay-at-home
orders
on
home
isolation.
We
can
bend
the
curve.
We
can't
defeat
this
virus,
but
we
can't
defeat
it
unless
we
commit
to
fulfilling
our
individual
obligations
and
our
collective
responsibilities
to
meet
this
moment.
These
stay
at
home
orders
are
real.
They
are
a
bipartisan
order,
they're,
not
a
rural
order
in
an
urban
order,
they're,
not
a
democratic
order
or
a
Republican
order.
B
The
state
of
California
and
close
to
half
now
of
the
American
people
are
living
in
their
some
frame
of
reference
around
home
isolation.
Let's
meet
this
moment,
let's
follow
through
halfway
is
no
way.
It
is
absolutely
incumbent
that
we
take
seriously
these
orders
we're
already
seeing
a
little
movement
even
in
the
state
of
California
and-
and
we
just
want
folks
to
make
the
appropriate
movement
for
essential
business,
essential
support
and
services
and
with
intention
go
outside
not
to
congregate,
and
it's
not
just
social
distancing,
I
think
from
anyways.
B
That's
a
misleading
frame,
its
physical
distancing
that
we're
after
in
some
ways
you
shouldn't
be
socially
distant
from
others,
because
we're
using
different
mechanisms
to
which
we
socially
can
engage
its
physical,
distancing,
I
just
trying
to
use
language
that
I
know
if
I
had
a
teenager.
I
have
four
young
people,
kids,
but
they
understand
physical,
just
see
more
than
they
understand
social
distancing.
So
for
the
younger
folks
out
there
physically
separate
from
others
and
strangers,
don't
mix
and
don't
think
for
a
second
that
we're
a
day
or
two
away
from
lifting
that
order.
B
We're
not
we're
not
even
a
week
or
two
away.
California
can
meet
this
moment.
We've
been
leading
in
almost
every
category
and
other
governors
have
done
an
extraordinary
job
and
all
of
them
deserve
credit
to
some
degree
or
another
and
I'm
proud
to
be
part
of
those
50
state
governors
and
their
leadership.
B
It
is
demonstrable
and
we
are
sharing
best
practices,
but
it
is
also
incumbent
upon
us
having
just
left
a
conference,
call
with
a
number
of
Governors
across
the
state
that
those
best
practices
include
following
through
on
these
orders
and
directives,
so
that
we
can
get
through
maximize
the
short
term.
So
we
can
minimize
the
long
term
impacts
and
you
have
to
focus
on
economics
by
focusing
on
health
first,
and
we
must
focus
on
meeting
this
health
crisis.
B
So
we
can
ultimately
address
the
economic
challenges
that
are
self-evident
in
the
stimulus
package
and
in
my
emanation
that
it
still
needs
to
go
farther
for
individuals
and
people
into
the
future.
Final
point,
I
was
very
pleased.
Today
we
got
our
new
number
homeless,
individual
that
have
the
capacity
now
to
get
more
support
and
resources.
We
talked
about
2400
beds
that
were
made
available
for
homeless
individuals
in
some
counties,
they're,
not
just
using
them
for
the
homeless,
but
they
have
the
capacity
to
do
that.
B
We
now
have
four
thousand
three
hundred
and
five
hotel
rooms
in
our
portfolio
and
we're
making
those
available
across
the
state
in
real-time
and
thank
you
to
LA
and
thank
you
to
Sacramento.
They
have
identified
the
exact
sites
of
where
the
trailers
will
go
and
we're
getting
those
thirteen
hundred
and
five
trailers
I
said
1309.
We
lost
five
trailers,
that's
another
conversation,
but
I
want
to
be
precise
and
specific.
We
have
over
1300
trailers
that
would
be
going
out
and
as
soon
as
those
counties
provide
more
information,
we'll
get
those
support.
B
Services
out
so
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
as
well.
So
that's
embroid
strokes,
an
update
on
a
number
of
issues
and
I
just
continue
to
be
very
proud
of
our
hospitals,
our
nurses,
our
doctors,
our
frontline
employees,
that
are
doing
an
amazing
job,
including
those
that
work
for
the
state
of
California
that
are
meeting
the
moment.
Our
budget
team,
two
other
agency
directors
and
that
are
struggling
to
keep
up
but
are
doing
their
best
under
very
challenging
circumstances.
So,
with
that
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
Governor
hi,
thanks
for
taking
my
question,
the
there
are
some
housing
advocates
and
state
lawmakers
who
have
called
for
a
statewide
moratorium
on
evictions
of
vendors
and
I
know
before
you
put
out
a
directive
encouraging
counties
and
cities
to
look
at
that.
But
the
complaint
is
that
there's
a
patchwork
of
policies:
it's
not
really
consistent.
When
are
you
going
to
dress
that
and
do
you
support
a
statewide
work
toward
about
evictions,
and
why
haven't
you
called
for
that?
Yeah.
B
So,
for
three
days
in
a
row
consecutively
I've
said
the
following:
let
me
say
it:
on
the
fourth
day,
we
are
very
concerned
about
what's
happening
or
not
happening
at
the
local
level.
We
reserve
our
right,
as
I
said,
when
I
put
out
the
first
directive
to
clarify
the
legal
authority
of
local
government.
That
was
not
clear
before
that
executive
order
came
out
to
advance
their
own
moratorium
on
evictions
that
if
we
don't
see
things
materialize
and
manifest
in
very
short
order,
we'd
reserve
the
right
to
look
at
a
state
overlay.
B
I
said
two
days
ago.
In
addition
to
what
I
just
told
you
I
said
that
we
have
a
team
reviewing
the
legal
parameters
related
to
that
issue.
Issues
are
much
more
complicated
that
they
may
appear
for
me.
It's
practice
not
promise,
and
so
we're
looking
at
takings
clauses,
issues
related
to
law,
unintended
intended
consequences
and
the
team
is
working
overtime
to
work
through
those
issues
when
I
have
clarity
on
those
legal
parameters.
Other
states
I
know
who
have
done
versions
of
this,
but
state
of
California
is
its
unique
set
of
circumstances.
B
We
will
provide
clarity
and
I
will
be
very
direct
with
you
on
the
answer.
Those
same
individual
legislators
that
are
writing
that
public
letter
have
directly
contacted
me,
so
I
am
already
quote-unquote
in
receipt
of
their
point
of
view
and
well
aware
of
that
anxiety.
I
also
very
proud
of
the
announcements
I
made
today,
as
it
relates
to
residential
mortgages.
I
think
that
is
a
significant
step
and
I
hope.
D
D
But,
as
you
know,
the
hospitals
are
all
bracing
for
a
surge
that
they
think
could
be
coming
in
the
next
week
or
two
in
California
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
have
a
sense
as
to
how
much
we
are
bending
the
curve
or
flattening
the
curve,
and
maybe
that
surge
won't
happen
or
it
won't
be
as
bad
as
they
fear
or
what
your
thoughts
are
on.
Is
that
surge
coming
and
is
what
we're
doing,
making
a
difference?
We're.
B
Preparing
always
for
the
worst
and
I
want
folks
to
know
I.
You
know
some
people
say
well,
yeah
is
he?
Are
we
being
honest
about
the
worst-case
scenario?
Are
we
overstating
some
people
say:
are
we
understating
we're
going
forward
is
transparent
way
as
possible
with
the
best
estimate
based
on
real-time
data
collection,
real
time
information
I
talked
about
the
need
to
potentially
have
the
capacity
of
125,000
rooms
within
our
hospital,
an
acute
care
system.
That's
the
50,000
that
I
was
referring
to
a
moment
ago.
B
I
talked
about
how
we're
breaking
that
down
between
what
the
hospital's,
the
416
hospitals
themselves
would
do,
and
what
the
state
of
California
is
doing.
I
specifically
laid
out
today
that
Seton
is
now
open.
It's
not
at
the
capacity.
It
will
be
over
the
course,
the
next
days
and
weeks,
but
it
is
open
and
what
we're
doing
at
st.
Vincent
and
what
we're
doing
it
to
get
cpmc
on
board
and
what
we're
doing
down
in
Long
Beach
with
the
mayor's
consent
and
support
their
community
hospital
and
hospitals
in
the
Central
Valley.
B
In
that
total
number,
we've
got
more
protective
gear
that
we're
getting
out
and
can't
get
out
soon
enough
and
I
talked
about
that
hundred
million
just
in
the
n95
masks
that
we've
already
identified
and
locked
down
that
is
making
its
way
into
the
state
of
California.
So
we
hope
we
can
meet
this
moment.
I'm
sober
about
it.
I'm
deeply,
proud
of
our
planning
efforts
and
I
say
this
not
as
a
point
of
critique,
not
as
a
point
of
well
not
to
make
any
other
point.
E
B
No
there's
no
income
provisions
that
are
part
of
the
announcement
we
made
today.
So
the
answer,
the
question
is
no,
but
it
is
kovat
related
and
some
form
of
documentation,
and
we
want
to
ease
the
document.
Side
of
this
and
I
can
assure
you
one
of
the
great
critiques.
Post-2008
was
the
laborious
processing
back
and
forth
with
documentation
and
we've
been
working
with
the
big
five
banks
for
that
are
doing
the
right
thing
and
all
of
our
state
chartered
banks
to
reduce
the
paperwork
and
significantly
ease
this
process.
B
B
So
I
hope
folks
take
a
little
bit
of
time
pause,
get
their
documents
in
order
put
everything
together
so
that
when
they
do
make
those
calls
someone
a
will
answer
that
and
B
that
they'll
answer
that
in
a
way
where
you
can
get
the
response
you
want
without
having
to
spend
10
20,
30,
40
minutes
on
hold
or
in
a
conversation
so
I
I
know.
The
bank's
hijos
were
quite
candid
with
me
about
concern
around
search
and
I
expressed
deep
appreciation
about
that.
F
Michaelson,
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
our
calls.
There's
been
a
bit
of
a
controversy
in
LA
County,
California's
largest
county
over
the
issue
of
gun
stores.
The
sheriff
here
says
he
believes
that
they're
non-essential
and
would
like
to
shut
them
down,
but
he
said
that
there's
been
some
confusion
over
your
guidance
on
this
issue.
Do
you
believe
that
gun
stores
themselves
are
essential
businesses
that
should
remain
open
during
this
time?.
B
I
may
be
the
last
person
asked
this
question.
He
passed
a
statewide
initiative
become
the
first
state
in
American
America
to
do
background
checks,
not
just
on
guns
but
ammunition
purchases,
I
believe
people's
right
to
bear
arms
and
I
believe
that
people
are
exercising
that
right,
but
I'll
defer
to
the
sheriff
in
this
instance
and
I'll
refer
to
sheriffs
in
their
respective
jurisdiction.
For
that
clarification,.
G
Hi
governor
thanks
for
taking
my
question.
The
federal
relief
package
has
a
lot
of
tax
changes
for
individuals
and
businesses
involving
items
like
401k
distribution,
charitable
contributions,
student
loan
payments,
net
operating
losses
and
even
a
tax
waiver
for
making
hand
sanitizer
wondering
if
you
will
push
for
California
to
conform
to
those
changes,
and
that
would
mean
getting
the
lawmakers
to
do
it.
Yeah.
B
The
answer
is,
we
will
see
we
are
in
quite
literally
real-time
processing
the
details
and
nuances
and
translating
into
the
state
budget
what
this
federal
support
looks
like
in
a
granular
level,
we'll
see
where
the
gaps
are
I've
expressed,
concerns
that,
even
with
the
substantial
increase
in
unemployment
insurance
benefits,
it's
still
not
going
to
be
good
enough
for
millions
of
Californians
I've
expressed
concern
about
the
small
business
supports
and
the
like,
so
we
will
process
that
we
will
make
an
assessment
and
determination.
I
should
just
note.
B
Yesterday,
when
I
announced
basically
a
baseline
budget
into
the
new
year,
that
will
impact
the
budget
proposals
that
we
advanced
in
our
January
numbers,
and
so
it
gives
you
an
indication
that
we
will
have
to
look
through
this
very
thoughtfully
and
process
each
and
every
example,
but
committing
to
conformity
across
the
board
is
not
something
at
the
moment.
Any
governor
humbly
I
submit
should
do
and
I
certainly
won't
until
we
get
those
backs.
H
B
I
So,
thank
you
governor.
We
continue
to
work
with
our
Hospital
partners
and
health
delivery
partners
to
clarify
our
data.
We
know
we're
tracking
some
of
the
hospitalizations
for
with
19
patients
and
those
in
the
ICUs.
We
want
to
give
the
public
a
complete
picture
across
the
California,
not
just
in
those
hotspot
areas
that
we've
been
tracking
and
we
expect
to
have
those
through
our
many
partnerships
over
the
course
of
the
next
couple
days.
So
the
governor
can
keep
the
public
abreast
of
the
situation
in
our
facilities
yeah.
So.
B
We
were
hoping
to
have
those
numbers
this
morning,
but
we'll
get
those
as
quickly
as
we
can
again
in
the
spirit.
I
have
estimates
I,
don't
like
the
estimates.
We
were
gonna,
get
clarification
on
some
of
these
numbers
and
get
the
specifics
and
until
I
have
that
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
hold
the
current
ones
back.
J
B
Is
exactly
what
I
told
you
would
happen
over
the
course?
The
last
number
of
days
we
have
been
getting
all
of
the
new
testing
information
back
from
some
of
the
largest
providers
of
tests
in
the
state
of
California.
I
was
very
specific
moment
ago.
You
heard
me
discuss
specific
number
12,000
tests
that
came
from
Kaiser,
both
in
northern
and
southern
California.
That
is
one
example.
Kaiser
just
came
on
board
a
number
of
other
providers
just
came
on
board
and
the
collection
protocols.
B
When
a
new
provider
comes
up,
we've
got
to
engage
them
and
we've
got
to
give
them
the
guidance
on
exactly
what
we
want.
A
lot
of
new
providers.
Small
labs
only
submit
positive
tests,
not
just
negative
tests,
and
a
lot
of
folks
are
sitting
on
paperwork
so
there's
quite
literally
dozens
and
dozens.
Now
these
providers,
all
throughout
the
nation
state
of
California,
and
so
those
protocols
are
being
advanced
each
time.
Someone
comes
online.
We're
making
sure
that
they're
in
line
with
our
collection
data.
B
So
over
the
course
last
week,
we've
been
scrubbing
all
of
those
and
getting
down
into
some
of
the
smallest
collection
labs.
In
order
to
make
sure
that
everybody
is
on
the
same
page,
I
should
note
those
numbers
will
continue
to
lag
because
in
time
people
are
coming
online
with
more
new
testing
technology
and
the
like.
But
the
spike
was
exactly
what
we
anticipated
and
was
thirty
nine
thousand
two
hundred
more
than
yesterday's
numbers,
and
it's
about
in
line
with
what
we
expected.
But
it
is
not
good
enough.
B
We
want
to
see
more
tests
in
the
state
of
California,
smarter,
more
targeted
testing,
more
community
surveillance.
It
is
critical
that
we
do
that
and
we
are
being
very
bold
in
some
of
our
discussions
around
procurement
of
new
technologies
and
we
are
committed
to
making
some
very
significant
advancements,
not
just
waiting
for
federal
supports
in
this
space,
but
to
take
more
aggressive
actions
as
new
technologies
are
presenting
themselves
in
real
time
from
around
the
world,
and
we
are
currently
vetting
them
to
consider
the
procurement
of
those
technologies.
K
Hi
governor
thanks
for
taking
the
time
to
talk
with
us
as
usual,
it
seems
like
school
districts,
have
many
different
plans
to
keep
kids
learning,
but
has
there
been
any
guidance
from
the
administration
on
uniform
K
through
12
instruction
or
have
your
advisors
for
these
districts
or
s?
Your
advisors
offered
any
assistance
to
these
districts
to
handle
the
new
normal
of
online
instruction
yeah.
B
As
you
recall
many
days
ago,
through
the
direction
of
Linda
darling-hammond,
our
superintendent
of
public
education,
Tony
Thurman,
my
own
team,
led
by
Ben
cheetah
and
others,
we
put
together
a
strike
team,
a
task
force.
We
were
quite
specific
with
you
in
the
media.
We
said
that
we
would
need
a
few
days
to
put
out
guidance
to
the
thousand
school
districts
across
the
state
of
California.
We
met
that
timeline.
We
put
out
very
detailed
guidance.
We
broke
that
guidance
down
into
four
or
five
categories.
B
Well,
beyond
the
issues
of
distance
learning,
the
issues
of
food
distribution
and
procurement
and
the
like,
we
got
the
legislature,
credible
leadership
of
Tony
Atkins,
Anthony
Rendon
to
put
additional
100
million
dollars
of
emergency
aid
that
we
now
made
available
to
the
school
districts
for
personal
protective
gear
for
cleaning
protocols,
so
for
those
sites
that
are
still
operational
for
online
or
distance
learning,
and/or
for
food
distribution
that
those
sites
are
safe
and
so
those
protocols,
those
processes.
Those
procedures
are
available
and
we
distribute
them
throughout
the
school
system.
B
Recognizing
that
we
are
many
parts,
but
one
body,
meaning
one
size
does
not
fit
all.
And
these
were
guidelines
and
not
directives
in
this
sense
that
if
you're
in
Tulare,
County
or
you're
near
Visalia,
it's
a
very
different
condition
and
environment
in
terms
of
resources,
community
resources
and
on-site
school
resources,
then
perhaps
in
some
other
large
urban
or
suburban
district.
And
so
that's
why
our
directors
are
quite
nuanced.
But
I
would
direct
you
to
those
guidelines
which
are
available
on
our
web
sites
and
across
the
board.
L
Hi
governor
because
of
social
distancing,
obviously
signature
gathers
for
November
ballot.
Initiatives
can't
be
out
on
the
street
collecting
those
signatures.
Do
you
have
any
intention
of
pushing
the
deadline
by
when
they
have
to
have
those
signatures
gathered
and
then
are
you
a
concerned
about
the
November
election
in
general
and
any
impact
that
Kovic
19
might
have
on
it?
We've.
B
Been
very
close
contact
with
our
Secretary
of
State
Alex
Padilla
who's,
really
leaned
in
in
this
moment,
has
been
providing
me
almost
on
a
daily
basis
of
thoughts
and
insight
in
terms
of
protecting
and
securing
not
just
the
November
ballot,
but
our
special
election
and,
as
you
know,
we
have
a
number
of
special
elections
in
May.
We
put
out
a
directive
a
few
days
ago
on
the
special
elections
and
what
the
new
protocols
and
processes
will
be,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
supporting
our
mail-in
ballots.
B
Alex
Padilla
is
doing
just
that
more
broadly
at
a
scale
in
the
November
election
and
we're
scoping
those
things
out,
helping
them
resource
ideas
in
terms
of
the
magnitude
of
what
that
means,
of
course,
he's
working
county
by
county
with
district
election
offices
to
make
sure
that
their
needs
are
met
as
well.
So
just
know
that
process
continues
as
it
relates
to
signature
gatherers.
Let
me
get
back
to
you
on
that.
Number
of
people
have
inquired
about
that,
not
surprisingly
from
the
industry,
and
it
is
an
industry
these
these
collections
and
we've
got
many
things.
M
B
As
I
said
a
moment
ago,
we
want
to
significantly
improve
our
community
surveillance
testing
in
the
state
of
California,
more
targeted
testing
testing.
We've
have
to
change
the
nomenclature
on
testing.
It's
not
just
about
the
numbers,
it's
about
what
where
when
and
why?
What's
the
purpose?
What's
the
intent
of
the
testing
protocols?
What
are
we
trying
to
ultimately
achieve
beyond
just
Diagnostics
for
critical
care
needs,
which
is
a
medical
need?
B
Which
self-evidently
is
a
top
priority
for
people
with
symptoms,
people
that
are
presented
themselves
in
our
hospital
system,
people
that
are
in
vulnerable
populations,
those
with
issues
obviously
related
to
previous
conditions
and
obviously
age,
but
we
really
want
to
start
testing
and
retesting
people,
and
this
is
incredibly
important
point
just
because
you
had
a
test,
that's
negative
doesn't
mean
the
next
time
you
get
a
test.
You're
gonna
be
negative.
Just
at
that
moment,
you're
negative,
but
moments
after
the
test
results
come
back.
B
B
A
lot
of
those
technologies
are
being
presented
in
states,
large
and
small,
and
obviously
to
the
FDA
and
to
the
federal
administration
and
their
task
force
led
by
vice
president
pence
and
also
they're,
going
direct
to
states
like
ours
with
very
specific
technologies.
I
should
extend
those
technologies,
aren't
only
swab
based
aren't
only
on
the
base
of
how
current
specimen
samples
are
being
provided.
People
are
coming
in
with
all
kinds
of
novel
testing
strategies
that
don't
require
that
that
are
blood
based.
B
Others
are
looking
at
protocols
and
therapeutics
that
aren't
even
traditional
dosages
that
may
actually
could
stem
cell
capacity.
This
is
the
center
and
I
encourage
the
press.
Really.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
lean
in.
This
is
the
center
of
the
universe
when
it
comes
to
biotherapeutics,
bio
innovation.
B
We
are
the
birthplace
of
biotech
the
state
of
California
and
remind
you,
Gilead
and
Genentech
Genentech
found
in
1979
here
in
the
Bay
Area
they're,
headquartered
here
in
the
state
working
with
the
finest
research
institutions
in
the
world
among
the
finest
in
the
world,
and
so
there's
a
lot.
That's
happening
in
this
space,
a
lot
of
deep
trials
that
have
already
been
advanced,
Cedar's,
USC
Stanford,
not
just
our
UCS
and
we've,
been
having
such
wonderful
and
dynamic
conversations
around
what's
happening
in
that
space.
But
it
also
includes
the
testing
space
and
I
can
assure
you.
M
B
N
Hi
governor
thanks
a
lot.
Can
you
give
us
a
little
bit
more
insight
into
the
numbers
that
you
have
that
you're
modeling
today
is
based
on
I,
understand
the
limitations
of
the
testing,
but
you
have
doubles
hospital
beds.
Are
you
looking
at
doubling
rates?
Are
you
looking
at
how
many
positives
we
have
and
percentage-wise?
What
do
you
know
about
how
the
disease
is
moving
through
California
yeah.
B
I
Unfortunately,
the
growing
number
of
individuals
were
dying
from
the
disease,
and
we
take
that
information
every
single
day
with
those
initial
rates
of
globally
incorporated
attack
rates.
What
we
were
seeing
in
other
countries-
and
we
continue
to
build
our
model,
and
today
we
feel
like
we're.
Looking
at
our
doubling
rate,
we
originally
thought
that
it
would
be
doubling
every
6
to
7
days.
We
see
cases
doubling
every
3
to
4
days
and
we're
watching
that
trend
very
very
closely
and
the
critical
information
that
the
governor
has
said.
I
He
will
get
the
public
on
number
of
people
in
the
hospitals,
number
of
people
in
ICUs
and
the
overall
testing
rate
and
the
rate
positive
is
going
to
continue
to
allow
us
to
refine
this
model
and
work
towards
whether
that
50,000
number
in
surge
capacity,
that
the
governor
has
tasked
us
to
create
for
the
state
of
California
with
our
wonderful
partners.
Is
that
enough?
When
do
we
need
it
and
we
are
on
track,
given
our
current
estimates
of
where
we
are.
B
Thank
you
for
that
and
we'll
just
wrap
up.
Let
me
wrap
up
it.
Just
on
that
point.
I
you've
heard
me
use
this
phrase
many
times,
I,
can't
repeat
it
enough.
The
future
is
not
just
something
experienced.
We're
not
along
for
the
ride.
I
completely
reject
this
notion
that
somehow
we
are
destined
to
any
particular
fate.
B
It
is
decisions,
not
conditions
that
determine
our
fate
and
future,
and
it's
a
sum
total
of
millions
of
individual
decisions
and
that's
why
we
can't
let
up
on
the
good
decision-making
that
we've
seen
the
overwhelming
majority
of
Californians
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
weeks.
We
would
like
to
believe
that
that's
had
an
impact.
In
fact,
we
know
it's
had
an
impact
on
bending
that
curve
in
buying
US
time
and
every
day
we
don't
see
a
spike
every
day.
B
That
is
another
day
that
we're
getting
more
assets
more
physical
and
human
resources,
prepared
for
a
worst-case
scenario:
to
save
people's
lives
and
to
meet
this
moment.
So,
let's
not
let
up.
Let
us
commit
to
this
home
isolation
in
this
physical
distancing,
let's
not
be
interested
in
doing
so.
Let's
commit
to
doing
so,
and
if
we
do,
then
we
I
think
will
have
a
tremendous
impact
on
mitigating
what
some
people
assume
is
a
worst-case
scenario
that
is
inevitably
going
to
come.
Our
way
we
don't
live
under
assumptions.
