B
That
is
foundational
and
essential
to
safely
providing
that
care.
So
as
we
move
forward
on
march
19th
of
this
year,
we
with
intention
began
a
process
anew
to
identify
those
foundational
components
so
that
we
can
meet
the
needs
of
those
that
need
to
access
hospital
care
and
receive
high
quality
care
in
the
state
of
California
and
to
look
to
utilize
our
existing
Hospital
footprint,
the
capacity
that
exists
within
a
hospital
setting
and
within
the
larger
Hospital
campus
setting
to
build
capacity.
B
B
We
identified
additional
sites
throughout
the
state,
including
old,
mothball
hospitals
and
seaton
being
an
example
in
Northern
California,
we
had
identified
early
on
saint
vincent
down
in
LA
County.
We
procured
sites
that
are
still
under
contract
and
Fairview
and
Porterville
different
parts
of
the
state
up
here
in
Sacramento,
the
old
Sleep
Train
arena,
where
now
the
Sacramento
Kings
used
to
play
those
sites.
B
Many
of
those
sites
still
available
to
us
in
what
we
call
warm
status,
all
part
and
parcel
of
a
larger
portfolio
to
meet
the
needs,
as
we
see
an
increase
in
the
spread
and
transmission
of
Kovan
19
speaking
of
spread.
This
slide
gives
you
a
sense
of
what
our
existing
hospital
footprint
looks
like
in
the
state
of
California.
We
have
416
hospitals
in
this
state,
but
one
thing
you'll
see
from
the
slide
is
they're
not
equally
distributed
in
various
parts
of
the
state.
B
Let
me
give
you
a
specific
example:
you
have
roughly
plus
or
minus
a
few
thousand,
but
roughly
21,000
plus
licensed
hospital
beds
in
LA
as
an
example
in
Sutter
County.
You
have
just
14
so,
depending
on
you,
where
you
live.
The
assets
that
are
available
to
you
are
quite
distinctive,
and
you
could
have
imagine
where
you
have
an
increase
of
just
a
few
patients
and
your
I
see
yous
in
Sutter.
That
can
represent
a
huge
percentage
of
your
total
capacity.
B
So
so
often
I
make
this
point
in
presentations
like
this
I
give
you
information
in
the
aggregate
but
remind
you
that
none
of
us
live
in
the
aggregate.
We
live
in
cities
and
counties
throughout
the
state
of
California
populated,
with
different
density
in
terms
of
total
number
of
people,
but
also
different
density
of
assets,
and
so
over
the
course.
B
Throughout
this
remarkably
diverse
the
nation's
largest
and
most
populous
state,
we
had
a
plan
when
we
started
in
March
that
had
a
surge
capacity
within
our
hospital
system,
roughly
20%
of
that
current
capacity
that
we
often
identify
and
I'll
give
you
those
numbers
in
a
minute
and
those
were
around
the
75,000
Hospital
capacity
number
that
so
often
I
promoted
as
a
baseline
of
existing
capacity.
It's
a
little
less
today
we'll
get
to
that.
In
a
moment,
we
had
no
established
alternative
care
sites,
meaning
we
didn't
have
the
FMS
identified.
B
We
didn't
have
these
alternative
leases
and
sites
already
procured
and
established.
We
were
just
in
the
process
in
march
of
identifying
if
Seaton
would
be
interested,
engaging
a
contract
with
the
state
working
with
the
legislature
to
procure
resources
beyond
just
emergency
resources
to
establish
a
longer-term
framework
of
support.
We
do
not
have
pre
position
medical
assets
of
any
type
and
including
PPE,
which
I'll
get
to
as
well
in
a
subsequent
slide.
Today,
in
July
fast
forward,
we
now
have
capacity
to
treat
50,000
Cova
19
patients.
B
Well,
beyond
that
surge
capacity
at
20%,
we
have,
as
I
said,
built
out
these
alternative
care
sites,
the
physical
sites
we
have
secured
hospitals
like
Seton,
and
we
have
pre-positioned
a
lot
of
these
medical
assets,
those
FMS
sites
throughout
the
state
of
California
and
areas
that
were
vulnerable
to
surges
and
spikes
in
covent
19.
We
also
focused
not
just
on
the
physical
as
I
said,
its
place
space
people
this
slide
represents
people.
We
started
something
called
California
Health
core.
It
exceeded
all
expectations.
B
We
quite
literally
had
no
expectation
that,
if
more
than
a
few
thousand
people
may
avail
themselves
with
a
valid
license
and
provide
information
about
their
professional
capacity
to
sort
of
make
needs
based
upon
a
matching
criteria
and
protocol
that
began
to
take
shape
in
terms
of
needs
for
lVN's
and
our
ends
and
respiratory
specialists
and
the
like.
Over
the
course
of
the
last
number
of
months,
we've
been
rescrub
Anette
site
over
ninety.
Six
thousand
people
went
to
that
site.
B
B
Again,
we
don't
want
everybody
concentrated,
filling
out
applications
just
in
one
part
of
the
state.
It's
really
about
matching
need
in
different
parts
of
the
state
based
upon
different
profession
within
the
healthcare
system,
and
so
you
may
have
a
unique
experience,
unique
perspective,
a
unique
license
in
part
of
the
state.
B
Those
beds
was
important
but
inventory
it
was
important,
PPE,
something
that
we're
all
familiar
with,
and
it
needs
to
do
more
and
getting
surgical,
masks
and
procedure,
masks
and
gloves
and
gowns
and
face
shields
and
coveralls
in
many
different
areas
need
within
PPE
the
most
important,
though,
being
those
masks
that
we
needed
and
just
look
at
this
slide,
you'll
see
in
March
of
this
year.
When
we
began,
we
had
roughly
1
million
masks
in
inventory,
wholly
inadequate
in
March
to
meet
the
needs
of
this
pandemic.
We
were
fortunate
and
I've
knowledge.
B
Estat,
multiple
occasions
and
I
want
to
just
do
it
again:
a
Governor
Schwarzenegger
had
years
prior
procured
a
large
cache
of
n95
masks.
Many
of
them
had
expired,
but
we
worked
with
the
FDA
and
others
CDC
to
be
able
to
utilize
a
lot
of
those
masks.
So
we
were
fortunate
to
have
21
million
n95
masks.
I,
don't
know
another
state.
It
was
benefit
that
it
fitted
from
that
kind
of
supply.
B
But,
as
we
quickly
learned,
21
million
mass
may
sound
like
a
lot,
but
it
turned
out
to
be
a
very
modest
number
and,
as
a
consequence,
we
had
a
huge
backlog
and
a
need
to
go
bold
and
to
go
big
in
terms
of
procurement
and
it's
exactly
what
we
did.
What
we
said
we
were
going
to
do
and
we
were
able
to
deliver
just
one
contract.
We
were
able
to
bring
down
a
hundred
and
eighty
nine
million
new
procedure
masks.
72
million
n95
masks
just
from
one
contract
that
got
a
lot
of
attention
and
I.
B
Think
enough.
Attention
got
to
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
deliver
on
the
commitments
we
made
over
a
two-month
period
to
draw
down
those
masts
as
a
consequence
of
that
you'll
see
on
this
slide,
we've
been
able
to
with
that
contract
and
others
that
we
were
able
to
put
together,
distribute
200
additional
million
procedure
masts
beyond
what
we
had
in
inventory.
You
see
that's
like
200
1
million
procedure,
masts
we've
distributed
just
in
the
last
four
months.
B
79
million
n95
mask
we
able
to
distribute
so
today,
rather
than
being
in
a
position
where
we
were
1
million
procedure,
masks
and
just
21
million
and
95
masks.
Today,
we
have
in
inventory,
as
of
this
morning,
232
million
additional
procedure
masks
beyond
what
we've
already
distributed.
The
center
slide
there
and
46
million
and
95
masks
will
still
in
the
process
of
procuring
more
masks,
but
we've
never
been
better
positioned,
so
much
so.
B
Full
disclosure
that
we've
been
able
to
distribute
masks
to
four
other
states
to
help
with
their
needs,
and
that's
something
in
partnership
with
FEMA,
who
has
been
just
extraordinary
in
helping
us
with
this
procurement,
is
something
that
we
designed
with
our
original
contracts
that
we
would
have
the
kind
of
agreement
once
we
hit
a
certain
threshold
and
we're
able
to
make
the
distributions
that
we've
made
that
we
can
help
support
other
states,
they're
reimbursing
us
a
hundred
percent
of
those
costs.
But
again
we
only
distribute
those.
When
we
can
meet
the
needs
within
state.
B
We
recognize,
though
we
still
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do
beyond
just
the
n95
masks
and
procedure
Massa.
None
of
us
are
naive
about
that
and
we
are
sending
out
millions
of
masks
every
single
week
and
I
recognize.
There
are
still
parts
of
this
state
that
are
deserving
and
in
need
of
additional
PPE,
and
we
recognize
the
urgency
in
terms
of
the
distribution
of
the
same.
B
But
I
am
very
pleased
with
the
urgency
that
has
been
demonstrable
in
the
development
of
our
protocols,
our
procedures
and
our
plans
with
our
partnership
that
we've
created
with
California
Hospital
Association.
In
particular,
we've
had
incredible
support
from
the
California
nurses
and
other
labor
organizations
like
SEIU
I
just
want
to
compliment
them
on
their
heroic
efforts
and
maintaining
their
status
as
our
frontline
heroes
in
this
pandemic,
and
let
us
not
forget,
and
the
nurses
and
others
that
are
on
the
frontlines
every
single
day,
I'm
putting
up
numbers
there.
B
The
human
face
of
this
pandemic
doing
everything
they
can
to
meet
the
needs
of
those
that
are
coming
into
the
hospitals
now
at
record
numbers
and
meeting
the
needs
of
patients
that
are
coming
in
with
symptoms.
Even
some
pre
symptomatic
and
asymptomatic
that
have
to
have
their
needs
met,
but
the
hospital
system
had
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
that
work
was
led
by
outstanding
leader.
That
is
here,
the
head
of
the
California
Hospital
Association.
B
To
talk
about
exactly
what
the
system
the
surge
capacity
looks
like
and
how
we've
been
able
to
develop
in
essence
of
a
mutual
aid
system
of
sorts,
which
will
explain
some
of
what
you've
been
perhaps
reading
about?
Why?
Folks
in
Imperial
County,
where
we've
had
to
decompress
our
system
by
over
500
patients?
Why
we
have
protocols
and
processes
of
where
to
send
those
patients?
B
When
we
move
them
out
of
County,
then
we
know
that
we
have
agreements
in,
for
example,
San
Diego
County
in
LA
County,
including
here
in
Northern
California,
where
a
few
of
the
patients
went
up
to
UCSF
in
San,
Francisco
and
other
parts
of
the
states.
So
it's
a
remarkably
dynamic
system
and
no
person
better
able
to
explain
that
system
than
the
head
of
that
system.
I'm,
Ella,
Coyle
who's
here
and
I'm
very
grateful
again
for
her
partnership.
B
C
Thank
you
very
much
governor,
and
it
is
a
pleasure
to
join
you
today
to
talk
about
our
surge
capacity
and
our
readiness
here
in
the
state
of
California
California's
hospitals
have
been
and
continue
to
be,
ready
to
deal
with
the
Kovach
crisis
that
we
have
all
been
working
with
for
the
last
four
months
and
we
continue
to
be
ready
to
care
for
all
Californians,
and
that
is
for
a
good
reason.
The
governor
has
been
briefing
everybody
on
a
daily
basis
about
the
numbers.
C
We
do
have
an
increase
in
the
number
of
kovat
positive
individuals
in
the
state
of
California
and
for
us
in
the
healthcare
delivery
system
that
translates
into
more
people
who
are
in
need
of
hospital
care
and
more
people
who
are
in
need
of
intensive
care
as
well.
So
we
have
seen
about
a
forty
nine
percent
increase
in
the
number
of
people
needing
hospital
care
in
look
just
the
last
two
weeks
about
a
thirty
eight
percent
increase
in
those
in
need
of
ICU
care,
so
California's
hospitals
are
really
doing
three
things
right
now.
C
It's
all
about
planning
and
preparing
and
partnering.
First
of
all,
in
the
planning
hospitals
have,
on
an
ongoing
basis,
an
emergency
operations
plan
that
plan
and
teams
that
are
dedicated
within
each
and
every
one
of
those
four
hundred
and
sixteen
hospitals
to
being
ready
and
prepared
for
any
kind
of
emergency.
C
We
have
learned
quite
a
bit
in
the
last
four
months,
so
we
are
adjusting
those
plans
to
take
into
account
how
we
have
prepared
how
we
have
to
prepare
differently
as
we're
seeing
numbers
begin
to
climb
again
in
terms
of
preparing
and
being
ready
really
logistically.
The
governor
has
just
talked
about
a
number
of
things:
hospitals
are
being
prepared
and
logistically
prepared
as
well.
We
are
building
up
our
inventory,
whether
that
is
of
personal
protective
equipment,
masks
and
gowns,
and
attempting
to
build
up
our
capabilities
and
our
inventory
of
testing
supplies.
C
C
So
many
things
going
on
right
now
in
terms
of
being
prepared,
including
looking
at
every
nook
and
cranny
within
california's
hospitals,
to
see
if
there
is
more
space
we
can
dedicate
to
caring
for
kovat,
positive
individuals
and
finally
partnering
the
governor
just
mentioned
the
important
partners
we
have
in
our
nurses
and
in
our
doctors.
We
cannot
do
it
without
those
frontline
caregivers.
That
partnership
has
to
be
solid
and
we
continue
to
work
to
make
that
happen.
C
Hospitals
are
also
partnering
together,
so
that
we
can
balance
the
load
of
kovat
positive
patients
as
we're
doing
right
now
in
Imperial
County,
also
in
the
Bay
Area,
as
we
are
dealing
with
outbreaks
there
in
the
prison
system.
If
hospitals
work
as
teams,
we
can
move
patients
and
ensure
that
they
are
transported
to
the
right
place.
C
Where
we've
got
that
additional
capacity,
we
can
work
as
a
team,
we're
partnering
with
our
counties
and
our
local
health
officials,
because
we've
got
to
be
able
to
do
that
regionally
as
well
and,
of
course,
our
partnership
with
the
state,
and
that
is
in
terms
of
the
stockpiles
of
masks
and
other
kinds
of
equipment.
That's
out
there
and
available
and
needed,
as
we
take
a
look
at
being
ready
for
even
higher
numbers,
so
we're
preparing
to
search
we're
going
to
surge
differently.
This
time
we
have
learned
a
lot
in
the
last
four
months.
C
We
know
that
we
have
different
tools
available
to
care
for
kovat,
positive
patients.
We've
got
therapeutics
like
rim,
desappear
and
others
that
are
actually
shortening
the
stay
of
those
patients.
We
are
putting
fewer
of
those
patients
on
ventilators
our
doctors.
Our
nurses
have
learned
quite
a
bit
in
the
last
four
months
about
how
to
care
for
kovat,
positive
patients
and
all
of
that
working
as
a
team.
Rowing
in
the
same
direction
means
that
we
can
do
that
even
more
efficiently
and
create
even
more
capacity
in
the
system
to
care
for
more
kovat
positive
patients.
C
The
best
way
that
we
can
expand
and
have
as
much
capacity
as
we
need
to
treat
kovat
positive
and
cope
patients
with
kovat
19
disease
is
to
make
certain
that
we're
stopping
the
spread
of
the
infection
in
the
first
place,
and
that
is
all
about
masks
and
social,
distancing
and
hand
hygiene.
Every
time
you
do
that
in
your
home,
in
your
neighborhood
and
in
your
community,
you
are
helping
a
nurse
you're,
helping
a
doctor
you're
helping
a
hospital
and
you're
saving
a
life.
So
thank
you
for
your
continued
focus
on
those
practices.
B
Thank
you
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
an
outstanding
partner
and
developed
incredible
partnerships
at
a
regional
level,
local
level,
but
statewide
and
the
partnership
is
dynamic
and
it's
demonstrable
not
only
in
terms
of
the
planning
documents,
but
the
actualization
of
our
efforts
that
have
been
tested
in
certain
parts
of
the
state
over
the
course
of
the
last
number
of
weeks.
I
want
to
just
note
in
addition
to
what
we
have
is.
It
relates
to
our
hospital
capacity.
I
mentioned
these
alternative
care
sites.
B
We
were
fortunate
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
vice
president,
just
a
few
days
ago
to
be
able
to
draw
down
even
more
support
than
we
had
in
the
past
for
these
field.
Medical
teams
we're
gonna,
get
a
hundred
and
ninety
individuals
that
are
coming
from
HHS
from
our
federal
partners
to
come
in
and
help
to
relieve
some
of
the
stress
for
some
of
our
caregivers
and
Carmela
was
saying
appropriately,
not
just
the
nurses,
but
also
our
doctors.
I
want
to
acknowledge
by
the
way
the
California
Medical
Association
they
had
sent.
B
Doctors
they'd
sent
a
team
of
folks
to
New
York
during
the
peak
of
the
pandemic
and
the
challenges
they
were
experienced,
not
only
to
provide
support
and
assistance,
but
they
also
got
valuable
experience
that
were
able
to
take
back
from
that
time
in
the
state
and
being
able
to
share
that
information
with
other
caregivers
and
providers.
All
of
these
are
reasons
in
addition,
ism.
B
What
you
just
heard
is
relates
to
therapeutics
that
are
coming
in
and
disappear
in
the
fact
that
we
got
received
our
first
inventory
of
REM
disappear,
one
of
the
more
promising
therapeutics,
but
also
begin
the
process
of
distributing
that
to
our
local
providers.
All
of
these
again
are
additional
points
that
allow
us
more
confidence
in
our
capacity
to
meet,
need
and
to
address
our
surge.
B
So
nineteen
hundred
and
twenty
nine
warm
beds
only
a
handful
of
those
beds
are
currently
being
utilized
in
our
alternative
care
sites
distributed
throughout
the
state
of
California
and
we'll
continue
to
keep
those
within
a
72-hour
prism
of
being
made
operational,
which
is
a
guideline
for
what
it's
worth
it
we
have
established
to
allow
us
to
move.
If,
indeed,
we
see
some
additional
stresses
outside
of
our
surge
plans
and
our
capacity
that
we
have
built
within
our
hospital
system,
we're
again
we're
doing
this,
because
we're
seeing
hospitalization
rates
grow
as
well.
B
I
just
said
it's
because
people
are
not
wearing
their
masks.
People
are
not
for
many
different
reasons
and
many
different
circumstances
practicing
the
physical
distancing
that
they
should
and
they
must,
in
order
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
this
virus,
we're
seeing
increased
mixing
within
households.
We've
said
that
on
many
different
occasions,
you're
hearing
that
at
the
local
level
you
hearing
that
across
this
country
as
well
governors
and
other
states
making
the
same
point
so
often
is
the
case.
B
You've
members,
your
extended
family
of
neighbors
from
outside
your
household,
we
put
take
our
guard
down
a
little
bit
and
we're
seeing
at
least
based
upon
the
feedback
we're
getting
from
our
County
health
experts.
That
is
one
dominant
area
of
concern.
Obviously,
a
consistent
area
of
concern
from
day
one
outside
our
skilled
nursing
facilities,
our
veterans
facilities
and
our
congregate
homeless
facilities
is
around
our
our
jail
system
and
our
state
system,
so
prisons
and
jails.
We
are
monitoring
good
news.
B
Is
we
saw
a
modest
about
400,
less
identified
positive
coping
positive
patients
in
our
CDC,
our
state
federal
system
than
we
had
even
on
Monday,
but
there
are
parts
of
the
system,
San
Quentin
substantively,
but
still
others.
She
know
that
we
are
monitoring
up
in
up
in
lassen
County,
some
others
that
we
are
monitoring
where
we're
seeing
intense
outbreaks
and
obviously
that's
impacting
some
of
the
hospitalization
rates
in
those
communities
and
around
those
communities
and
as
always
and
I
neglected
this.
There
was
a
I
thought.
B
It's
important
note,
60,
plus
percent
of
the
economy,
never
shut
down
in
California,
so
we
talked
about
the
stay
at
home
order.
March,
19th,
60,
plus
percent
of
the
economy,
was
still
fully
operational,
at
least
operationalized
in
a
modified
sense,
meaning
was
moving
forward
and
a
lot
of
those
essential
workers
put
their
lives
their
health,
quite
literally
on
the
line.
These
are
the
food
workers
there's
the
farm
workers.
B
These
are
the
folks
in
the
grocery
stores
and
and
others,
and
a
lot
of
these
are
young
tend
to
be
some
cases
younger
individuals,
a
lot
of
them
that
truly
represent
the
diversity
in
the
to
California.
That
became
very
vulnerable
to
the
spread
of
this
virus
and
continue
to
be
vulnerable
to
the
spread
of
this
virus.
B
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
essential
work
force
over-represented
in
the
black
and
brown
community
for
being
there
when
we
needed
them
the
most
and
it's
incumbent
upon
us
as
we
meet
the
needs
of
this
surge
in
the
broader
community
and
the
state
in
our
nation.
The
world
we're
trying
to
collectively
build
that
we
are
mindful
of
these
essential
workers
and
have
their
best
interests
at
heart.
As
we
move
forward
as
we
do
move
forward,
and
we've
said
the
hospitalizations
are
increasing.
You
heard
a
statistic
that
represented
from
yesterday.
B
B
The
numbers,
speaking
of
numbers,
this
number-
should
draw
some
attention,
and
that
is
one
of
the
largest
single-day
cohort
number
of
positive
cases
that
we've
reported
since
the
beginning
of
this
pandemic,
though
I
want
to
caution
you
for
purposes
of
full
disclosure
before
the
press
respectively,
runs
with
that
number
I
hope
you
responsibly
will
condition
a
recognition
of
the
note
that
we
put
on
this
slide
that
the
number
includes
a
backlog
of
reported
numbers
that
were
still
working
through
with
LA
County.
We
had
mentioned
that
on
Monday
there
was
a
bit
of
a
backlog.
B
Reflective
of
a
contemporary
assessment
of
our
daily
numbers
that
we
collect,
8,000,
116
individuals
of
tested,
pause,
November,
seven-day
period,
the
last
cohort
that
I
provided
around
their
7-day
average
that
I
provide
it
was
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty
seven,
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seventy-six.
Forgive
me
my
dyslexia
is
coming
through
7876
that
was
on
Monday
was
the
seven
day
average.
You
see
it's
increasing
just
two
days
later,
eight
thousand
one
hundred
and
sixteen,
let's
take
a
closer
look
at
some
of
these
numbers
as
we
do
on
a
daily
basis.
B
We
are
now
averaging
over
a
hundred
and
six
thousand
tests
per
day
over
the
last
seven
days,
just
shy
of
100,000.
Yesterday
we
got
up
as
high
as
a
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
tests
on
Saturday,
so
we're
making
good
on
our
promise
to
increase
testing.
Remember
where
we
were
just
like
it
was
90
or
so
days
ago.
In
fact,
in
April
we
were
testing
about
two
thousand
people
a
day.
I'll
repeat
that
we
were
testing
two
thousand
people
a
day.
We
decided
to
do
a
reset,
put
together
a
task
force
led
by
dr.
B
charity
Dean
and
by
Paul
Markovic
of
boo
shield.
They
delivered
on
what
we
had
promoted
in
what
they
promised
and
we
have
now
exceeded
the
goals
that
we
established.
I
will
say
these:
all
our
goals
and
goals
have
to
be
re,
I,
think,
reimagined
and
and
and
I
think
we
have
to
realign
some
of
our
goals
and
we'll
be
talking
more
about
that
I
think
maybe
as
early
as
Friday
as
late
as
Monday
I'll
talk
about
our
next
iteration
on
testing
and
how
we're
gonna
be
much
more
strategic,
much
more
dynamic
in
our
testing.
B
Much
smarter,
dare
I,
say
peril
in
terms
of
who
we're
targeting
in
terms
of
testing
and
how
deep
we're
going
in
testing
people
on
a
more
consistent
basis.
So
it's
not
just
about
the
numbers
we
can
get
caught
up
in
just
the
aggregate,
the
numbers,
but
it's
how
we're
testing,
where
we're
testing
and
we're
all
recognizing
a
current
stress,
you're,
seeing
some
articles
about
this,
some
attention,
which
is
good,
and
it's
certainly
consistent
with
our
experience
over
the
last
few
weeks
as
you've
seen
an
increase
even
at
a
greater
rate.
B
They've
exceeded
that
over
a
hundred
thousand
now
averaged
over
seven
day
period.
Positivity
rate
continues
to
climb.
Let
me
give
you
this
slide
as
you've
seen
it
often,
this
positivity
rate
shows
you
a
cohort
positivity
rates
that
we
put
together
over
14
day
period.
This
represents
an
increase
of
roughly
39%
over
a
two-week
period
and
total
positivity
rates.
So
that's
a
concern.
I've
made
this
point
before
I'll
make
it
today.
B
Speaking
of
spreading
transmission,
we
have
been
transparent
in
terms
of
providing
lists
to
you
on
a
consistent
basis
of
counties
that
were
monitoring
on
a
list.
Some
referred
to
it
as
a
watchlist.
More
formally,
we
refer
to
it
as
a
monitoring
list.
These
are
counties
that
put
out
at
test
stations
that
attested
to
containment,
plans
and
procurement
plans
in
terms
of
their
own
strategies
to
procure
assets
and
resources,
human
resources,
physical
assets,
to
meet
the
needs
of
their
communities.
B
There
are
particular
counties
and
their
particular
and
unique
circumstances
today
we're
adding
three
new
counties
to
the
monitoring
list
for
a
total
of
26
week
or
so
ago,
we
had
19
counties
on
the
list,
23
counties
when
I
was
with
you
on
Saturday
26,
now
with
Napa
San,
Benito
and
Yolo
County.
Now
the
list
remember
the
monitoring.
B
We
issued
orders
for
have
just
submitted
to
the
state
orders
and
for
awaiting
action.
Three
of
them
we're
just
announcing
today,
Colusa
that
I
anticipate,
will
move
very
quickly
and
so
I
just
want
to
think
again.
These
counties,
the
partnership,
is
really
demonstrable
I.
I
know
there
was
some
flare-up
and
some
consternation.
B
I
cannot
impress
upon
people
before
I
open
it
up
to
questions
the
potency
of
your
individual
decision-making
and
I
just
want
to
underscore
the
potency
of
that,
because
we
had
a
hundred
and
eleven
lives
lost
in
the
last
reporting
period.
111
lives
lost
again
breaking
a
little,
the
math
ology.
Why
we're
seeing
a
mortality
rates
that
have
declined
that
masks?
B
Forgive
the
pun,
the
reality
still
of
hundreds
of
people
across
this
country
dying
on
a
daily
basis
of
this
disease
111
here
just
in
the
state
of
California
alone,
lives,
lost
families
destroyed,
torn
asunder,
loved
ones
that
will
never
return
and
so
I
hope.
All
of
us
are
sober
about
that
and
cognizant
of
the
moment
we're
in
and
the
vulnerability
that
everybody
has
at
this
moment.
This
moment
will
pass.
We
will
get
through
this.
We
will
become
more
resilient
as
a
state,
as
a
nation
I
would
argue
globally
as
a
world.
B
We
will
there's
no
question
in
my
mind
about
that.
The
question
is
when,
and
that
determines
basis
on
the
determination
of
how
we
conduct
ourselves.
How
we
behave
goes
to
question
of
how
do
we
safely
reopen
our
schools,
and
when
do
we
reopen
it?
Many
respects.
That's
the
termen
on
our
behavior
on
what
we
do
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
weeks
to
mitigate
growth
and
spread
and
transmission
of
this
disease.
Data
makes
those
determinations
data
and
science
make
those
decisions,
and,
fundamentally
that's
what's
guided
us
into
that.
B
March
19th
stay
at
home
to
making
the
first
sub
sets
of
modifications
on
May,
8th
as
it
relates
to
the
modifications
to
the
stay
at
home
and
now
working
with
these
26
counties
to
monitor
and
put
that
dimmer
switch
as
we
refer
to
it
back
in
play
to
address
and
mitigate
some
of
the
sectoral
guidelines
that
we
put
out
and
address
the
concerns
around.
These
spreads
mitigate
the
growth
of
the
spread
of
this
disease.
B
In
counties
and
communities,
large
and
small-
so
forgive
the
long
winningest
of
today's
presentation,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
assurance
that
the
last
four
months
have
been
meaningful
and
intentional,
and
we
have
done
enormous
amount
to
prepare
and
presenting
you
today.
I
hope
you
feel
a
sense
of
that
preparedness
to
meet
your
needs
to
meet
your
neighbors
needs.
Your
community's
needs
the
state
needs
and
to
do
so
head-on.
But
again
we
need
your
compliance.
B
We
need
your
support,
I'm
wearing
these
masks
and
if
your
senior,
if
you
have
these
pre-existing
conditions,
if
you
are
vulnerable
to
this
virus
and
in
that
category,
we
cannot
impress
upon
you
more
to
take
very,
very
seriously
your
this
moment
and
do
what
you
can
to
stay
home
except
for
essential
purposes
and
essential
needs.
So
with
that
of
course,
now
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
B
Hundreds
that
you
saw
in
that
slide
you'll
see
the
threshold,
quite
in
numerical
terms,
quite
detailed
terms
of
the
detailed
list
capacity.
The
state
has
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
millions
of
masks
when
we
made
the
agreement
for
a
large
procurement,
which
many
of
you
have
written
about.
I
hope,
you'll.
Consider
the
fact
that
that
procurement
prevailed
in
72
million
and
95
masks.
Just
one
contract
wasn't
the
only
contract
over
one
hundred.
B
Eighty
nine
million
of
our
procedure
masks
in
order
to
do
that
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
a
concentrated
period
just
over
a
sixty
day
or
so
period,
plus
or
minus.
We
were
able
to
procure
that
I,
don't
know.
Another
state
in
the
country
was
able
to
procure
at
that
scale.
A
part
of
the
agreement
in
partnership
with
our
federal
partners,
particularly
FEMA,
was
a
consideration
of
need
to
those
most
in
need.
B
We
did
that
with
ventilators
we're
part
of
the
human
condition.
We
are
one
of
many
states.
We
feel
very
connected
to
the
American
spirit
that
must
meet
this
moment
and
the
needs
of
our
brothers
and
sisters
in
other
states,
and
so
I
mentioned
a
few
weeks
back.
The
number
of
seventeen
million.
That's
more
specific
to
your
question.
B
We
mentioned
this
last
Friday,
35
million
masks
to
the
California
grocers
Association,
the
Restaurant
Association
working
in
partnership
with
CMT
a
which
is
the
California
manufacturing
serrated
Association.
That
also
is
helping
sect
orally
reopen
the
economy
safely
and
how
we're
partnering
with
them
on
the
distribution
of
masks.
B
Our
first
priority,
of
course,
are
our
frontline
men
and
women
in
the
hospital
system
by
the
way
hospital
systems
procuring,
as
I
mentioned
a
moment
ago,
their
own
PPE,
in
addition
to
what
the
states
doing
so
we're
trying
to
supplement
that
find
gaps,
farm
workers
and
the
like
and
seasonal
farmworkers
coming
in.
So
we
feel
at
the
moment.
B
We
are
meeting
the
needs,
but,
as
I
said
a
moment
ago,
we're
getting
these
out
in
real
time,
so
the
orders
are
coming
in
and
we
can't
get
these
masks
out
quickly
enough
and
so
we're
putting
together
a
spreadsheet
where
we
think
we
need
to
be,
and
all
I
can
assure
you
is
we're
continuing
to
procure
even
more
masks,
we're
not
going
to
sit
back
statically
and
allow
that
stockpile
to
deplete.
So
we're
back
to
where
we
were
in
March.
E
Hi
governor,
thank
you
for
taking
my
question.
You
know
we
are
seeing
more
cases.
Cases
are
increasing,
but
many
of
those
people
are
testing
positive
and
some
are
asymptomatic.
There
are
concerns
about
these
so-called
super
spreaders.
Can
the
recent
increase
in
cases
be
attributed
to
these
super
spreaders
and
should
people
who
essentially
aren't
showing
symptoms
should
they
be
getting
tested?
Well,.
B
I
we
tried
to
encourage
testing,
and
particularly
in
our
diverse
communities,
we've
been
able
to
put
up
a
site-
and
this
is
my
opportunity
to
remind
you
and
allow
you
to
avail
yourself
to
accessing
the
site.
Cova
19,
CAG,
Ovid,
19,
dot,
CA
gov,
you
can
type
in
your
zip
code
and
we
will
provide
information
about
the
availability
of
testing
sites
that
are
approximate
to
where
you
live,
and
also
the
reimbursement
or
costs
associated
vast
majority.
B
Of
these
there
is
no
costs
associated
with
getting
a
test,
as
I
said,
either
on
Friday
or
as
late
as
Monday
I'll
be
putting
out
a
different
frame
of
engagement
on
the
testing
that
will
go
more
substantively
and
specifically
to
your
question,
because
we
are
now
looking
to
really
target
and
modify
our
testing
criteria
in
a
much
more
strategic
way.
We
actually
put
a
little
guidance
out
on
Sunday
I,
don't
know
that
you
had
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at
that.
I
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
it's
on
that
same
site.
B
That
gives
you
a
sense
sort
of
a
preview
of
where
we're
going
with
our
new
testing
protocols.
In
terms
of
really
targeting
most
vulnerable
members
of
our
community,
most
diverse
parts
of
the
state
and
still
addressing
some
main,
you
know
existing
testing
deserts
that
we
have
to
address
in
the
state
and
obviously
the
supply
concerns
that
I
mentioned
a
moment
ago.
Look
as
it
relates
to
why
we
think
the
hospitalization
rates
are
up.
B
You
saw
that
slide,
those
the
four
areas
that
are
experts,
the
health
officials
that
we're
engaging
our
own
health
officials,
our
Hospital
partners.
Those
are
the
areas
where
they
suggest
most
of
the
activity
is
occurring
in
terms
of
the
cause
and
effect
of
why
people
are
ending
up
in
the
hospitals.
Those
vectors
are
super
spreaders
spreaders.
However,
you
may
want
to
define
them.
B
We've
defined
those
four
categories
as
areas
of
most
concern,
I
will
say:
full
disclosure-
if
you
look
more
granularly
and
I,
brought
this
up
on
many
previous
occasions,
so
I
didn't
feel
the
need
to
do
it
again.
Today,
you'll
see
regional
considerations.
Imperial
we've
talked
about
a
lot
of
people:
dual
citizenship,
cross
border
activity
down
Imperial,
that's
also
an
issue,
and
so
there
are
many
other
micro
factors,
but
in
the
macro
those
the
four
care
areas
where
we
think
are
the
most
contributory
in
terms
of
the
increases
that
we're
experiencing.
F
Governor
I
wanted
to
ask
you
two
related
things
about
saying:
Quentin
prison
one.
Are
you
going
to
be
transferring
more
prisoners
out
of
there
into
other
facilities,
especially
since
we've
had
outbreaks
and
some
other
facilities?
Now
and
two?
Are
you
gonna
go
to
the
prison
itself
yourself
and
speak
with
the
staff
there
or
some
of
the
family
members
to
the
prisoners
inside
yeah.
B
I've
visited
cenk
went
on
many
many
occasions
on
a
daily
basis,
including
right
after
this
press
conference
we'll
be
reviewing
additional
releases.
You
got
your
question
is
in
firma,
t'v
we've
been
able
to
decompress
that
hot
that
if
it
feels
like
a
hospital
now,
but
that
prison
from
that
number,
which
I've
mentioned
on
Monday
mentioned
previous
week,
4050
one
prisoners
on
March
1st.
The
goal
is
to
get
it
down
to
3,000
and
looks
like
as
of
today.
B
This
morning
we
think
we
have
a
plan
in
the
next
few
weeks
to
bring
the
population
down
to
3076
so
from
131
percent
capacity,
where
we
were
just
a
few
months
ago
and
now
getting
it
down
below
that
100
percent
capacity
threshold.
We
still
want
to
do
more
than
that,
so
that
we
could
provide
more
cohorting
more
isolation
of
inmates.
Of
course,
we
have
staff
concerns
as
well
we're
using
the
chapel
and
the
gyms
differently.
We
have
now
our
FMS
mentioned
FMS,
as
relates
to
alternative
care
sites.
B
We
were
there
with
the
acting
warden
for
his
leadership
Vacaville
and
was
there
with
many
of
the
leaders
within
CDC
our
to
get
a
first
hand
sense
of
what's
going
on,
but
I've
not
been
just
visiting
the
prisons
recently
I've
been
doing
that
on
a
consistent
basis
has
been
a
cause
if
you've
been
following
me
for
decades,
big
cause
of
the.
Why,
when
one
answers,
why
do
you
want
to
do
certain
things
in
life?
G
Hey
governor
thanks
for
taking
our
questions,
the
president
has
been
talking
a
lot
about
rebuilding
schools.
He
suggested
today
that
he
could
withhold
funding
from
states
that
don't
do
enough
in
pressure
governors.
The
vice
president,
my
other
hand
said
that
they
could
reward
state
that
reopen
with
funding.
So
my
question
for
you
is,
as
California
tried
to
figure
out
how
to
reopen
those
schools,
obviously
a
huge
issue
for
parents
and
teachers
and
kids
alike.
B
I'm
not
worried
about
the
latest,
tweets
and
and
I
could
give
you
an
Aussie
examples
of
why
I
concluded
that
that's
not
the
issue
that
we
need
to
address.
What
we
need
to
address
is
safely
reopening
the
schools
and
we
need
to
make
that
a
foundational
principle
that,
to
me
is
non-negotiable.
We
have
to
safely
reopen
our
schools
and
we
also
have
to
reconcile
what
is
also
not
negotiable,
and
that
is,
we
must
insist
upon
learning
the
beginning
of
the
school
year.
We
provided,
as
I
mentioned
a
moment
ago.
Two
months
of
PPE.
B
Support
that
we
were
able
to
draw
down
from
the
federal
government
already
so
I
think
that's
an
important
point
to
note
and
we
are
providing
the
flexibility
based
upon
local
conditions.
I
know
it
sounds
almost
like
a
mantra,
but
it's
foundational
in
a
state
again
as
large
as
California
thousand
plus
school
districts
conditions
are
unique
and
distinctive
classrooms,
physical
costumes
or
such
where
you
can't
have
the
physical
distancing
that
you
can
in
other
classroom
environments
and
different
parts
of
the
state.
All
of
these
things
need
to
be
managed.
B
The
local
level,
with
the
foundational
framework
of
keeping
our
kids
and,
as
you
suggest,
Jeremy
our
teachers
healthy
and
safe
and
yes,
I,
fear
that
more
than
I
fear,
a
tweet
I
fear
that,
as
a
foundational
principle
of
responsibility
to
protect
our
caregivers,
our
teachers
to
protect
their
support
staff,
janitors
the
bus
drivers
and
our
children,
and
obviously
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
as
a
society
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
this
disease.
That
will
be
foundational
in
terms
of
making
a
data
informed
decision
on
how
to
safely
reopen
our
schools
but
foundationally.
B
We
need
to
require
learning
and
that
has
to
occur,
and
so
we
are
working
very
closely
with
our
partners.
We
put
out
guidelines
on
June
5th,
laying
out
our
specific
strategies.
We've
been
modify,
find
that
in
working
with
our
partners,
superintendent,
public
education,
many
others
and
we'll
be
saying
a
lot
more
on
this
topic
over
the
course
of
the
next
days
and
weeks.
H
Hi
governor,
following
up
on
that
question,
the
Los
Angeles
Times
is
reporting
that
the
LA
County
Public
Health
Director,
has
told
local
school
officials
that
they
should
be
prepared
for
a
possible
delay
in
the
August
18th
scheduled
start
to
school
and
the
resumption
of
business.
Only
learning
now,
given
the
case
numbers,
do
you
think
it's
likely?
Schools
will
be
able
to
open
in
as
little
as
five
or
six
weeks
and
that
some
form
of
classroom
instruction
will
be
possible.
Yeah.
B
So
I
repeat
a
little
bit.
What
I'm
saying
I
said
a
moment
ago
in
terms
of
the
decision
will
be
based
on
the
data
based
upon
where
we
are
in
a
number
of
weeks.
That's
not
just
you
know
we're
not
by
standards.
In
that
respect,
we
are
agents
of
our
own
lives
and
our
own
decisions
so
foundationally
that
answer
can
be
affirmative,
meaning
we
can
just
roll
over
and
accept
the
spread
and
transmission
continue
with
the
behaviors
that
have
led
to
this
transmission
and
this
increase,
or
we
can
do
more
to
practice.
B
The
kind
of
personal
responsibilities
relates
to
wearing,
face
coverings
and
masks
and
physically
distance
mothers
that
will
mitigate
the
spread,
will
shift
that
trend
line
and
avail
ourselves
to
more
flexibility
and
more
opportunity.
I
I
would
like
to
think
that
we
have
the
capacity
make
better
decisions
the
next
few
weeks,
so
we
don't
have
to
make
the
decision
to
delay
a
school
year,
but
we
have
and
that's
why
I
referenced
the
previous
response.
B
The
question
provided
flexibility,
statutory
language
to
provide
local
flexibility
on
distance
learning,
hybrid
learning
and
looking
at
a
prioritization,
always
of
in-person
learning,
which
goes
to
issues
a
social-emotional
development,
not
just
intellectual
academic
development,
which
we
place
great
deal
of
emphasis
on
so
again.
This
is
work
in
progress
all
to
be
determined
and
we
are
working
very,
very
collaboratively
with
our
partners
all
across
this
state.
In
this
dynamic.
I
I
This
means
in
some
cases
people
are
having
to
wait
more
than
a
week
to
get
tested
and
then
more
than
a
week
for
results-
and
you
know
with
such
a
lag,
some
people
are
asking
you
know
what
is
the
point
of
testing
is
there's
so
much
value
to
it,
and
I
would
follow
up
on
schools
as
well
I'm
wondering
if
the
state
has
any
projections
on
how
many
students,
teachers
and
staff
are
expected
to
be
infected
from
in-person
classes
when
and
if
they
leave
them
in
the
fall.
No.
B
We
don't
have
any
debt
on
that
basis
because
we're
looking
to
bend
and
we're
looking
to
mitigate
the
spread
and
transmission,
this
virus
to
be
in
a
very
different
place
before
the
schools
begin
to
reopen,
and
so
we're
hoping
that
that
we
have
real
impact
in
the
next
few
weeks,
so
that
we
can
mitigate
these
trend
lines
and
not
just
accept
those
trend
lines
to
be
then
factored
in
just
some
numerical
expectation
in
terms
of
spread
within
the
school
system.
That
said
relates
to
testing.
B
We
agree
with
you,
that's
exactly
why
I've
been
previewing,
Monday,
I
previewed!
It's
why
I'm
previewing
you
again
the
work
that
is
ongoing,
that
very
assertively
is
ongoing.
We
were
able
to
do
what
we
said.
We
were
able
to
do
and
actually
exceed
expectations,
including
the
last
seven
days
over
a
hundred
plus
thousand
tests.
B
So
it's
an
interesting
moment:
you're
right,
there's
some
supply
chain
concerns
at
the
same
time
we're
doing
record
number
of
tests,
but
again
that
masks
some
of
the
nuance
of
where
there
are
supply
challenges
and
as
well
the
challenge
we
are
all
having
now
with
the
time
to
getting
that
testing
information
back.
We
were
within
a
couple
days.
We
started
remember
it
was
six
seven
days
and
some
people
11
14
days.
B
We
again
got
it
down
a
few
days
and
we
were
really
making
progress
as
a
nation,
not
just
as
a
state
and
now
you're
starting
to
sleep,
because
the
backlogs
at
Quest
and
others
that
were
we're
experiencing
multi-day
delays.
That
said,
you're,
gonna
and
forgive
me,
I
want
to
get
too
far
ahead
of
our
announcement.
B
But
let
me
give
you
a
little
more
of
a
preview
of
it:
we're
working
to
match
some
of
our
testing
capacity
with
local
labs,
with
many
of
our
hospitals
and
not
just
doing
these
national
labs
where
you're
seeing
a
lot
of
the
delays
occurring.
We're
also-
and
it
goes
to
the
previous
question-
around
San
Quentin,
just
as
an
example,
we
were
using
quest
at
San
Quentin.
We
had
a
lot
of
delays,
we're
now
working
increasingly
specifically
with
bio,
hub
partnership
with
UCSF
CG
foundation
and
we're
doing
more
dynamic
testing
with
much
quicker
results.
B
So
that
gives
you
an
indication
of
sort
of
the
specificity
to
which
we'll
begin
to
answer
that
question,
with
much
more
dynamic
strategies
for
testing
to
get
that
response
time
diminished
substantially.
Look
if
you
have
symptoms,
if
you're
in
a
high-risk
category
you're
in
a
congregate
setting
and
like
we
want
to
encourage
you
to
get
tested,
not
be
discouraged
in
some
cases
by
some
of
these
delays.
We
think
that's
foundational
and
fundamental,
and
so
please
don't
be
dissuaded
by
that
know
that
we
have
a
team
working
overtime
on
this
and
and
we'll
like.
B
We
did
last
time
when
went
from
2,000
tests
over
a
hundred
thousand
tests.
Well,
we'll
work
our
way
through
this
final
point.
We
have
also
been
very
engaged
with
FEMA
in
terms
of
the
supply
question
and
are
getting
a
kind
of
response
we
were
hopeful
for,
including
for
the
Vice
President
himself,
who
recognizes
the
opportunity
and
responsibility
to
help
support
states
like
ours,
with
some
of
the
supply
constraints
and
some
of
these
backlogs
as
well.
So,
thank
you
all
for
the
opportunity,
as
always
privileged
of
your
time.
B
Thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
update
you
look
forward
to
making
subsequent
updates
we'll
be
back
tomorrow
and
look
forward
to
answering
more
questions
and,
moreover,
just
encourage
you
to
do
the
kinds
of
things
that
are
foundational
and
fundamental
at
this
moment
and
that
begins
with
wearing
these
masks
and
physically
distancing
and
were
washing
your
hands
as
often
as
you
possibly
can
take
care.
Everybody
we'll
see
you
tomorrow
for.
