Good
afternoon,
a
few
days
back,
we
announced
a
program
that
we
framed
as
beginning
to
solve
two
problems
at
once,
and
the
frame
was
simple.
We
have
so
many
restaurants
throughout
the
state
of
California
struggling
those
that
are
just
doing
takeout
struggling
to
keep
those
doors
open,
others
struggling
to
keep
tabs
on
their
employees
that
are
now
on
unemployment,
others
that
haven't
even
imagined
the
prospect
of
being
able
to
even
open
modestly
for
take-out.
B
We
have
seniors
millions
of
seniors
in
the
state
of
California
many
with
no
access
to
nutritious
food,
no
access
to
prepared
meals,
no
capacity
at
home
if
isolated,
to
even
prepare
the
movie
moot
those
meals
in
the
first
place,
and
so
we
advanced
a
framework
to
begin
the
process
of
reopening
restaurants
to
start
to
provide
those
meals,
three
meals
a
day
delivered
packaged
prepared,
delivered
to
the
doorstep
of
seniors
all
throughout
the
state
of
California.
That
program
now
is
just
starting
to
take
shape
in
cities
and
counties
large
and
small,
all
across
the
state.
B
The
state
of
California
put
out
the
framework
and
it's
the
city's
responsibility
to
engage
the
restaurants
and
work
through
the
protocols.
We've
seen
cities
like
LA
and
others
really
excel
in
this
space,
we're
very
encouraged
by
this
program
in
that
same
spirit,
in
that
same
framework
of
collaboration
and
partnership.
B
To
date,
we're
announcing
a
strategy
to
do
the
same
around
food,
but
now
focusing
on
farms
to
families
focusing
on
the
issues
that
obviously
are
front
and
center
all
across
the
nation
and
that's
issues
of
food
banks
and
how
we
could
do
more
to
help
support
our
farmers,
help
support
farmworkers
and
also
help
support
food
banks
here
in
the
state
of
California.
This
new
initiative
that
we're
launching
today
is
a
partnership
between
the
federal
government,
the
state
of
California
and
philanthropy.
It's
a
strategy.
That's
rather
simple.
B
Currently
our
farmers,
our
ranchers,
are
experiencing
about
a
50%
reduction
in
demand,
which
is
a
jaw-dropping
reduction
in
demand.
They
have
excess
produce.
They
have
excess
commodities
that
they
simply
in
many
respects
as
perishable
items,
some
of
them
they
cannot
distribute.
We
have
food
banks
that
have
on
the
average,
seen
as
73%
spike
in
demand.
B
Here
we
are
breadbasket
the
world
California,
and
we
want
to
address
that
mismatch.
We
want
to
address
the
supply
and
the
demand,
and
so
that's
the
announcement
today
to
work
with
the
ranchers
to
work
with
the
farmers,
to
connect
them
to
the
food
banks
and
do
so
in
a
way
that
jump-starts
our
capacity
to
deliver
nutritious
food,
high
quality,
locally
produced
produce
poultry
and
dairy
and
the
like
to
those
most
in
need
in
the
state
of
California.
B
The
partnership
currently
has
about
128
farmers
and
ranchers,
providing
food
to
41
food
banks
being
distributed
in
58
counties.
The
goal
of
this
announcement
is
to
provide
21
million
pounds
of
fresh
food
and
fresh
produce
on
a
monthly
basis,
20
to
21
million
pounds
of
fresh
produce
and
other
commodities
to
our
food
banks.
We've
raised
some
3.6
million
dollars
to
jumpstart
this
program.
We
want
to
extend
this
program
through
the
end
of
the
year
and
we
are
blessed
to
have
philanthropy,
including
cat
tailor,
who's
been
passionate
in
this
space.
B
She
is
committed
to
raising
some
15
million
dollars.
She
initiated
a
contribution
to
that
and
to
help
get
this
partnership
in
place
and
help
us
launch
it,
but
it
is
that
partnership
between
our
federal
government
between
state
agencies
between
philanthropy
and
then
our
farmers
and
our
farm
workers
that
will
pick
and
pack
and
distribute
this
fresh
produce
and
these
other
commodities
to
our
food
banks.
We
are
very
excited
and
enlivened
by
this
program
and
I
want
to
thank
and
I'll
introduce
her.
In
a
moment.
B
Our
Secretary
of
Agriculture,
Karen,
Ross
who's,
helped
spearhead
this
effort
and
advanced
this
cause
and
brought
some
of
the
biggest
brands
in
the
agricultural
community
to
the
forefront
from
foster
farms
to
California
Rice
Association,
the
National,
Dairy
Association
and
bringing
Grimm
way
and
others
Sunkist
and
the
citrus
side.
Pacific
producers,
a
partnership
out
here
on
the
Pacific
coast,
even
doing
fruit.
Bowls
and
the
like.
Again.
All
of
this,
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration,
to
provide
these
new
food
packs
to
families
in
need.
B
B
We
were
able
to
distribute
20
million
dollars
of
an
emergency
grant
to
our
food
banks
to
enhance
and
advance
our
efforts
in
terms
of
providing
these
food
boxes
to
families
in
need.
We
also
announced
the
National
Guard
the
first
mission,
the
National
advanced
during
this
pandemic,
was
a
humanitarian
mission
to
support
our
food
banks.
We
also
worked
in
collaborative
spirit
with
partners
like
AmeriCorps
that
have
done
an
amazing
job.
Team
Rubicon,
that's
done
the
same
kal
volunteers.
B
All
in
an
effort
to
subsidize
not
only
the
increase
in
demand,
but
the
decrease
in
volunteers
at
our
food
banks
when
this
pandemic
took
shape,
they
have
substantially
addressed
a
lot
of
those
issues.
It's
not
by
any
stretch,
perfect
and
I
will,
as
always,
ask
on
you
to
the
extent
you
are
available
to
help
support
that
cause
to
volunteer
your
time
and
attention.
There
are
California's
for
all
ca.gov
website,
because
the
food
banks
still
need
more
volunteers,
but
I
wanna
acknowledge
the
partnerships
that
have
been
advanced,
particularly
between
those
four
organizations.
B
That
otherwise
would
not
be
drawn
down
is
the
spirit
of
the
announcement
today.
But
there
are
two
other
components
that
I
want
to
share
as
well.
We
got
two
waivers
from
the
federal
government.
One
waiver
is
rather
significant.
The
CalFresh
program,
our
snap,
our
food
stamp
program
fresh
program
can
now
today
provide
access
to
commodities
on
line.
So
if
you
have
a
CalFresh
debit
card,
you
can
now
go
online
and
utilize
CalFresh
at
scale.
We
start
with
just
two
partners
for
the
moment
and
that's
Amazon
and
Walmart,
and
so
that's
just
for
the
moment.
B
Amazon
Walmart.
But
now
you
can
shop
online
with
CalFresh.
We
want
to
expand
those
partnerships
beyond
Walmart
and
Amazon
I'll,
announce
that
when
those
partnerships
are
available,
but
currently
we
are
affording
this
because
of
that
waiver
to
everybody
in
the
state
of
California
and
I,
say
everybody
it's
about
2.2
million
households,
but
over
4
million
people
that
now
can
avail
themselves
to
access
that
that
opportunity
online
today
as
well.
B
B
We
were
able
to
work
with
our
federal
partners
on
an
additional
waiver
for
this
program
to
provide
up
to
365
additional
dollars,
an
additional
three
hundred
and
sixty
five
dollars
available
under
this
pandemic
EBT
program
for
children
and
families
that
otherwise
would
have
gotten
the
benefit
of
reduced
or
free
breakfast
and
lunch
in
our
public
school
system,
because
we
shut
down
the
schools
still
during
learning
distance
learning
at
home,
but
the
physical
schools
are
shut
down.
Those
meals
were
the
universe
of
roughly
3.8
million
children
that
are
eligible
for
those
programs.
B
Those
programs
are
not
providing,
in
every
case
those
meals,
and
so
this
pandemic
EBT
program
will
make
available
a
universe
of
up
to
one
point:
four
billion
dollars
for
3.8
million
eligible
families.
Again,
that's
the
universe
of
possible
to
begin
to
utilize.
Those
dollars
from
that
cares
act
to
advance
their
nutritional
needs.
So
we
think
that's
a
significant
thing.
I
couldn't
be
more
pleased
and
proud
of
the
work
that
Kim
Johnson's
done
an
apartment
of
Social
Services
to
help
organize
and
set
up
that
program.
B
To
the
extent
we
can
so
partnerships
and
our
food
banks,
partnerships
with
our
farms
and
ranchers
partnerships
with
local
producers
to
help
local
food
banks,
partnerships
in
terms
of
philanthropy
and
volunteers,
people
doing
more
to
create
more
access
and
opportunity,
and
not
just
in
person,
but
now
also
online.
To
draw
down
eligible
dollars,
federal
dollars
in
the
CalFresh
program,
and
now
this
broader
waiver
for
our
kids
in
public
schools
and
so
I'm
very
proud,
and
very
pleased
to
be
able
to
make
these
announcements
today,
it's
the
spirit
of
our
times
the
spirit
of
California.
B
What
often
takes
a
year
now
we
need
to
do
in
months
what
takes
a
month.
We
now
need
to
do
in
weeks
what
takes
weeks
we
need
to
do
in
days
and
what
we
used
to
do
in
days.
We
need
to
do
in
hours
and
I
recognize
every
day.
I
come
here,
making
announcements.
Also
following
up
on
previous
announcements
and
in
metrics
and
in
marking
moments
I
realize
it
can
be
overwhelming,
but
that's
the
moment
we're
living
in
you
can't
just
do
one
thing
at
a
time.
B
You've
got
to
do
many
things
at
a
time,
then
we're
dealing
with
a
pandemic
we're
dealing
with
a
crisis.
It
requires
a
focus.
It
requires
an
intentionality.
It
requires
people
doing
things.
They
never
imagined
possible
even
just
two
months
ago
and
just
incredibly
proud
of
everybody
doing
what
they
can.
As
we
say
to
meet
this
moment,
and
so
one
of
them
I'll
just
offer,
the
mic
here
in
a
moment
is
our
Secretary
of
Agriculture,
who
has
been
actually
fighting
for
some
of
these
programs
for
years.
B
C
Thank
You
governor
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
We
appreciate
your
support.
We
appreciate
everyone's
support
for
really
looking
for
california-grown
product
wherever
they
might
be.
Our
farmers
this
year
have
gone
through
quite
a
shockwave,
like
all
of
us
have
but
they're
working
every
day
to
continue
the
kind
of
bountiful
nutritious
productivity
that
is
a
hallmark
of
California.
C
50%
of
our
food
dollars
are
spent
in
the
foodservice
arena
no
longer
in
retail,
like
it
used
to
be,
and
that
has
backed
up
product
and
because
it
is
so
perishable,
some
of
it
has
just
come
out
of
the
ground
destined
to
go
across
the
country.
We
had
a
program
that
was
in
place
because
of
the
foresight
of
tree
fruit
growers
working
with
Second
Harvest
out
of
Oakland
15
years
ago
to
say
at
any
time
of
the
year.
C
We
have
markets
that
are
not
absorbing
all
of
our
crop,
but
we
don't
want
it
to
go
to
waste.
We
want
the
citizens
of
California
to
have
access
to
that
healthy
food.
They
ran
a
pilot
program
that
led
to
the
California
Association
of
food
banks,
developing
the
farm
to
family
program.
I
am
proud
that
when
I
was
a
member
of
the
State
Board
of
food
and
agriculture,
we
created
a
partnership
to
make
sure
that
we
could
take
this
program
statewide
and
use
it
to
prevent
waste
to
use
it
to
get
all.
C
That
is
good
that
we
grow
in
the
state
to
the
citizens
of
the
state.
It
is
a
highly
developed
network.
It
has
logistics
like
any
other
food
distributor.
Does
it
has
four
regional
coordinators
that
go
out
and
solicit
donations
from
our
growers
and
our
ranchers?
They
take
straight
donations
and
oftentimes.
C
If
there's
just
not
enough
money
to
cover
the
farmers
cost
of
harvesting
that
they
will
pay
a
portion
of
the
harvest,
costs
to
be
able
to
get
it
transported
into
the
central
Food
Bank,
so
it
can
be
repackaged
and
distributed
up
and
down
the
state
to
the
41
food
banks
that
are
serving
all
58
counties.
It's
a
remarkable
program
and
I
believe
because
we
had
it
in
place,
we
were
able
to
prevent
extensive
food
waste
that
was
bound
to
happen
because
of
the
suddenness
of
the
change
of
our
economy
and
our
buying
habits.
C
I
also
want
to
thank
the
people
on
our
state
board
who
have
a
standing
taskforce
around
food
banks
and
food
insecurity.
They
are
meeting
even
as
we
are
here
today
discussing
not
only
the
short-term
way
to
respond
to
the
tremendous
need
of
our
citizens,
but
also
what
do
we
have
in
place
long
term
to
be
able
to
ensure
that
every
child,
every
senior
citizen
every
family
has
access
to
healthy,
California
grown
fruits,
vegetables,
tree
nuts,
poultry
beef?
We
have
at
all
all
400
commodities,
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
governor
to
expanding
this
program.
B
B
She
has
already
identified
over
200
additional
farmers
and
ranchers
that
now
want
to
participate
in
this
program
and
because
of
this
jumpstart,
we
believe
it
will
substantially
and
significantly
expand
in
real-time
and
thanks
to
her
leadership,
I'm,
confident
that
will
take
shape
to
the
benefit
of
hundreds
of
thousands
of
families
all
up
and
down.
The
state
will
have
these
quality
opportunities
to
get
America's
finest
produce.
B
Some
of
the
finest
citrus
well
I
won't
go
through
the
list
and
dairy
and
rice,
but
you
get
the
picture
and
we're
very,
very,
very
grateful
and
that
people
will
be
getting
these
food
boxes
by
the
way.
Just
what
it's
worth
I
say:
food
boxes,
something
we're
literally
organizing
these
in
boxes
that
$20,000,000
mergency
grant
about
nine
hundred
thousand
of
these
boxes
went
out.
It
provides
a
family
of
three
or
four
up
to
three
to
four
days
of
food.
So
it's
not
just
canned
items.
It's
again.
B
All
of
these
other
perishable
items
that
are
fresh
and
ready
to
be
consumed
that
otherwise
in
a
supply
chain,
where
market
demands
dropped
in
half
what
otherwise,
as
we
said,
go
to
waste,
and
so
that's
the
importance
of
the
architecture
of
this
program
and
in
power
of
this
program
as
well.
Let
me
just
extend
this.
We
do
daily
a
little
bit
of
update
before
we
open
it
to
questions
from
folks
on
a
number
of
key
issues
and
indicators
in
this
state.
B
Yesterday
we
talked
about
a
number
of
indicators
and
talked
about
those
that
we
believe
are
beginning
to
turn
green,
some
that
are
yellow
some
that
are
still
red.
We
did
a
deeper
dive
yesterday,
as
relates
to
businesses
and
schools
a
little
bit
on
child
care
facilities.
We
talked
about
moving
from
this
phase
that
we
define
as
phase
1
into
phase
2
and
matter
of
weeks,
not
months,
and
we
talked
about
phase
3
and
4
being
months
not
weeks.
B
One
of
the
critical
indicators
that
is
prevalent
in
all
of
our
discussions
is
the
number
of
people
whose
lives
have
been
lost
to
this
pandemic.
A
number
of
people,
hospitalized
number
of
people
in
our
IC
use,
I,
mentioned
that
last
week
we
started
to
see
a
record
number
of
deaths
in
the
state
of
California.
I
began
this
week
by
announcing
that,
tragically,
we
had
lost
45
lives
on
Monday
54
lives.
Yesterday
about
half
of
the
daily
number
of
families
that
have
been
torn
apart
because
of
this
virus
compared
to
the
prior
week.
B
Unfortunately,
today
it's
lent
back
slightly
up
78
families
that
have
lost
a
loved
one,
and
so
again
we
monitor
this
daily.
It's
tends
to
be
the
legging
indicator,
but
it's
just
a
reminder
that
we're
not
out
of
the
woods
a
reminder
of
the
importance
of
the
stay
at
home
orders
the
reminder
of
the
importance
and
potency
and
power
you
have
as
an
individual
in
terms
of
physically
distancing
from
others
and
continuing
to
practice
social
distancing.
B
Accordingly,
while
we
have
seen
the
number
of
hospitalized
patients
flatten
and
become
relatively
stable
in
the
state
I
mentioned
yesterday
that
it
went
up
modestly
today,
it
went
up
yet
again,
modestly
about
1.2
percent
still
within
the
margin
of
stability,
but
again
not
where
we
want
to
see
those
numbers.
We
don't
want
to
see
a
stable
flat
curve.
We
want
to
see
that
curve
decline
significantly.
B
3.7
million
people
now
have
filed
for
unemployment
insurance,
just
since
March
12th
they
have
distributed
now
just
shy
of
over
six
billion
dollars,
not
just
shy.
They
have
distributed
over
six
billion
dollars
of
benefits,
1.2
billion
just
yesterday,
just
in
a
24-hour
period,
they
were
able
to
distribute
1.2
billion
dollars.
We
saw
it
not
surprisingly,
a
spike
in
applications.
Yesterday
we
saw
about
235
thousand
people
apply
for
unemployment
insurance
and
the
new
PUA
program.
That's
a
pandemic
unemployment.
Assistance
for
people
are
self-employed
people,
independent
contractors,
gig
workers
and
the
like.
B
That
was
the
first
day
that
we
had
that
system
operational,
4p
UAE's.
We
were
able
to
unpack
those
numbers
and
it's
roughly
190
thousand
individuals.
The
substantial
portion
of
that
increased
volume
was
in
that
PUA
category.
I
am
deeply
aware
that
many
of
you
tried
to
access
that
system
online
in
person
and
struggled
to
get
in
every
day
and
I
was
very
sober
about
this
last
week.
Sober
about
it
yesterday
terms
of
addressing
the
fact
that
this
is
day
one
yesterday
now
day,
two
that
we
are
getting
our
arms
around
this
again
unprecedented
volume.
B
You
went
from
2500
applications
a
day
just
a
few
months
ago.
All
in
just
yesterday,
235
thousand
applications
not
an
excuse.
We
have
to
meet
the
moment.
We
have
to
provide
more
support
and
I
mentioned
the
chat
BOTS
that
we're
putting
up
in
the
new
texting
technology.
I
talked
about
the
1340
people
that
we
hired
and
repurposed
to
help
support
the
call
volume,
the
extension
of
the
hours
7
days
a
week,
8
to
8
p.m.
B
and
also
talked
about
the
additional
600
staff
that
we're
putting
on
this
in
the
new
business
strategies
in
terms
of
how
we
conduct
our
cells
and
how
we
are
able
to
answer
questions
much
more
aggressively
and
forthrightly,
including
some
of
the
eligible
Changez
they're,
all
part
of
loosening
the
capacity
and
our
ability
to
deliver
on
your
expectations
and
what
you
deserve,
as
people
that
are
fearful
about
their
economics
and
fearful
about
their
ability
to
just
buy
food
pay
for
rent
support.
Their
children
support
their
families.
B
So
we
are
making
progress
and
those
numbers
are
bearing
fruit
over
six
billion
dollars,
1.2
billion
just
yesterday,
averaging
a
little
over
a
billion
dollars
in
last
number
of
days
each
day,
1.2
again
just
yesterday.
Pa
is
now
finally
coming
online
and
the
turnaround
on
those
is
well
within
not
this
21
days
for
unemployment
insurance,
but
within
a
seven
day
period,
24
to
48
hours.
For
those
overwhelming
majority
of
people
that
have
debit
cards.
B
Those
that
without
one
will
probably
be
a
7
day
period,
but
well,
we
then
we
believe
our
capacity
deliver,
though
all
I'll
be
honest
and
forthright
in
terms
of
updating
you
daily
on
those
numbers
as
well
one
other
number
of
importance,
and
that
is
the
continuing
progress
that
will
be
made
in
our
efforts
to
provide
homes
for
the
homeless
that
are
in
congregate,
facilities
that
are
otherwise
vulnerable
to
exposure
of
kovat
19
or
have
tested
positive
or
have
compromised
compromised
immune
systems.
We
have
now
well
in
excess
of
12,500.
B
In
fact,
it's
12,000
603
hotel
rooms
have
been
acquired
now
in
the
state
over
12
under
those
trailers,
in
addition
to
those
rooms
have
been
distributed
all
across
the
state,
and
we
have
thousands
and
thousands
of
individuals
that
now
have
the
dignity
of
a
key
lock
and
a
door
in
a
place,
at
least
for
the
moment,
to
call
home
because
of
project
room.
Key
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
putting
together
a
program
in
just
a
few
weeks
and
getting
this
program
up
and
running,
including
the
people
then
make
it
work.
B
Those
are
the
three
meals
a
day
that
are
also
delivered
to
the
doors
of
people
that
are
participants
in
project
room
key
through
chef,
Jose,
Andres
and
world
central
kitchen,
and
the
incredible
work
they've
done
to
partner
with
us
and
provide
three
meals
a
day
for
those
vulnerable
Californians
as
well.
So
try
to
do
many
things
at
once,
trying
to
do
all
of
it
in
a
condensed
period
of
time.
All
of
these
things
require
partnership.
All
of
these
things
require
collaboration.
B
Capacity
and
again,
I
just
want
to
express
deep
gratitude
for
all
of
our
local
elected
officials.
Our
state
and
federal
officials
that
have
helped
all
of
us
meet
the
guidelines
and
begin
to
process
many
of
these
programs
concurrently,
as
we
work
our
way
through
this
pandemic,
and
so
that's
broad
strokes.
The
updates
on
the
numbers
I'll
just
mention
one
final,
one
before
I
open
up
to
questions
and
that's
testing,
always
important.
B
I'll
update
you
tomorrow,
a
little
bit
more
on
contact
tracing
in
our
workforce
and
our
new
partnerships
that
were
forming,
but
on
testing,
and
we
broke
at
least
from
my
perspective,
an
important
threshold.
Again,
we
started
2,000
tests
a
day
in
March
March
was
just
last
month,
April,
we
said
by
the
end
of
April,
we'll
go
from
2,000
to
25,000.
Every
day
we
are
almost
there.
We've
been
averaging
a
little
over
20,000
a
day,
25,000
plus
yesterday,
over
now,
six
hundred
thousand
six
hundred
three
thousand
plus
tests.
B
So
far
in
the
state
of
California
and
I
mentioned
yesterday,
the
new
partnerships
with
these
end-to-end
tests
that
will
focus
disproportionately
on
rural
California
in
underserved
parts
of
our
state,
particularly
in
black
and
brown
communities.
In
this
state
I
mentioned
that
optim
served
80
sites.
All
of
them
will
be
operational
by
Monday.
B
So
it's
not
again
the
test
numbers,
it's
who
we're
testing
and
how
we're
addressing
socioeconomics
justice
issue
and
doing
more
to
make
sure
that
we
are
well
that
we
have
the
right
information
as
it
relates
the
impact
on
this
virus
on
all
of
our
diverse
communities
up
and
down
the
state
of
California.
With
that
happy
to
answer,
questions.
D
E
B
Right
supervisor,
I,
don't
I,
think
you
serve
I'm,
not
sure
who
is
on
the
line
reporter
the
supervisor
I
think
I'll.
Let
you
get
back
to
your
interview,
but
I,
as
you
know,
laid
out
very
detailed
terms
yesterday
the
strategy
for
California
to
make
meaningful
changes
to
our
stay
at
home
order.
As
many
of
you
know,
we
have
six
indicators
that
will
determine
our
decision-making.
It
won't
be
on
the
basis
of
well
political
considerations.
It
won't
be
on
the
basis
of
pressure.
B
It
won't
be
on
the
basis
of
what
we
want,
but
what
we
need
to
do
and
what
we
need
to
do
from
my
humble
perspective,
is
listen
to
the
public
health
experts.
Listen
closely
to
what's
happening
with
the
virus.
Look
at
data
make
the
data
make
the
determination
to
guide
our
decision
making.
As
everybody
knows,
this
state
is
very
large.
State
conditions
are
very
different
in
different
parts
of
the
state,
I
will
say
about
Orange
County.
B
It's
important
the
supervisors
well
aware
of
this
Orange
County
is
the
fourth
highest
number
of
people
of
all
58
counties.
Hospice
realized
in
the
state
of
California
I'm
concerned
about
that
LA.
County
San
Diego
surrounding
counties
number
one
and
two,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
keep
people
healthy,
keep
people
safe.
That's
the
data
and
the
data
leads
our
decision-making
again.
I
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
of
Supervisors
up
and
down
the
state,
City
Council
members
up
and
down
the
state.
C
F
Sorry
I
always
needed
governor
I
have
a
question
for
you
about
the
three
meals
a
day
program.
So
while
you
promise
that
localities
administering
the
senior
program
will
be
reimbursed
for
ninety
four
percent
of
the
costs,
you
haven't
set
a
timeline
for
how
quickly
they'll
be
reimbursed
and
that's
a
top
concern
for
cities
and
counties
which
are
looking
at
serious
budget
to
rest,
including
furloughing
employees.
So
could
you
please
provide
more
clarity
about
that?
F
Also,
the
AP
reported
today
that
your
three
meals,
a
day
program,
has
less
than
two
weeks
to
launch
before
federal
funding
runs
out.
So
what's
going
on
with
that,
what's
the
delay
and
then
regarding
your
announcement
today,
how
will
the
state
ensure
that
farm
workers
are
protected
from
the
novel
coronavirus,
as
they
continue
to
work
to
make
this
new
program
work?
How
will
you
make
sure
they
have
adequate
PPE
and
Matt?
Okay.
B
B
They
deserve
that
and,
as
you
know,
we
advanced
a
paid
sick
leave
policy
for
our
food
workers
and
for
folks
up
and
down
that
food
chain
a
few
weeks
ago
as
an
acknowledgment
and
the
importance
of
people
throughout
that
food
chain,
but
particularly
those
that
are
picking
our
food
and
the
vulnerabilities
the
unique
vulnerabilities
they
have
as
it
relates
to
their
own
personal
health.
But
we
also
have
made
it
clear.
B
We
recognize
the
totality
of
the
need
is
in
the
tens
of
millions
and
that's
why
we
went
forward
with
a
rather
substantial
procurement
of,
quite
literally
hundreds
of
millions
of
mass
first
again
arrived
on
Saturday
night
got
into
the
state
warehouse
on
Sunday
started,
getting
distributed
to
18
specific
sites.
Yesterday,
two
point:
eight:
seven
million
of
those
3.1
million
masks
are
skilled,
nursing
facilities
as
a
priority,
a
priority
always
for
a
health
care
workers
and
yes
for
our
farm
workers
as
well.
B
So
that's
a
that's
a
top
priority
and
as
more
protective
gear
comes
in
more
quickly,
we'll
get
it
out
and
that
again
includes
our
food
workers
and
number
two,
as
it
relates
to
the
broader
issue
of
these
programs
and
extensions
and
dates.
This
program
was
just
announced.
We
announced
it
as
a
local
program,
not
as
a
state
program
but
as
a
local
program.
We
put
out
the
parameters
that
yes
and
I
appreciate
you
referencing
this
for
local
government.
I
was
a
former
mayor.
B
B
There's
no
other
state
in
the
country
doing
this
program
and
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
do
a
partnership
with
FEMA
to
provide
75%
reimbursement
and
the
fact
that
the
state
of
California
will
pick
up
seventy-five
percent
of
the
local
25%
and
that's
the
number
you
reference
I
think
makes
this
a
very
exciting
opportunity
for
cities.
Look.
B
We
have
major
budget
concerns
that
are
very
significant
in
this
state
will
be
working
with
cities
and
counties
and
as
it
relates
to
the
first
part
of
your
question
in
terms
of
the
second
part,
the
relationship
on
reimbursements
flows,
first
from
the
federal
government
to
the
state
down
to
the
cities,
and
so
as
soon
as
we
get
clarity
on
those
dollars
we're
trying
to
front.
We
are
fronting
most
of
these
dollars
as
a
state,
but
as
those
reimbursements
come
into
place,
we're
able
to
get
those
dollars
down
to
the
local
level
as
quickly
as
possible.
G
Hi
governor,
thank
you
too
hard
question
here.
First,
we
just
learned
about
some
changes
coming
to
the
Bay
Area
shelter-in-place
order,
including
kids
of
12,
or
fewer
being
able
to
do
recreational
activities
together.
Golf
courses
that
can
open
things
that
are
not
allowed
under
the
state
order.
Are
you
thinking
of
easing
the
state's
order
at
all,
allow
for
some
of
those
things
that
clearly,
Bay
Area
officials
seem
to
believe
are
safe?
And,
secondly,
can
you
just
talk
more
about
phase
two
that
you
talked
about
yesterday?
What
retail
businesses
are
you
referring
to?
G
B
Trying
to
multiple
questions
do
my
best
to
unpack
them.
The
answer
is
yes
to
the
second
part
of
your
question.
All
of
those
categories
of
retail
I
had
a
meeting,
and
then
we
invited
members
of
the
press
to
participate
in
yesterday,
where
we
had
specific
conversations
to
more
substantively
answer
the
question
that
you
posed
about
certain
categories
of
retail
and
how
we
will
provide
guidance
by
sector
and
in
some
case,
by
geography
based
upon
local
conditions.
B
I
met
rather
I
had
a
zoom
call
with
the
head
of
the
gap,
one
of
the
largest
retailers
in
the
world
about
130
thousand
employees
operating
in
China,
currently
reopened
an
operating
of
course
around
the
world
and
substantially
so
in
the
state
of
California.
And
then
we
had
a
young
man,
remarkable
business
leader
with
five
employees
in
the
Central
Valley.
B
Five
different
locations,
there's
five
different
challenges
again
based
on
local
conditions
and
local
directives.
That
goes
to
the
first
part
of
your
question,
we're
meeting
in
those
subsets
or
getting
their
feedback
I'm
doing
those
calls
consistently
we're
trying
to
bring
you
into
those
conversations
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible,
we'll
put
out
guidelines
over
the
next
few
weeks
and
all
those
categories
and
more
not
just
retail
manufacturing
logistics,
some
in
the
hospitality
sector
and
certainly
working
with
our
partners.
B
Spi
is
talking
to
Tony
Thurman,
the
superintendent
public
education
an
hour
or
so
ago
about
next
steps
in
terms
of
our
schools
and
and
beginning
to
look
beyond
just
the
summer
months,
which
is
more
of
an
immediate
question,
but
looking
at
the
fall
calendar
as
well.
All
of
that
is
constant,
never
any
iteration
engagement
and
local
considerations,
and
so
that's
the
framework
to
how
we
we
look
at
some
of
these
things
and
a
framework
to
which
we
are
guided.
Accordingly.
I
will
say
we
are
well
in
tune
and
in
touch
with
the
Bay
Area
counties.
B
As
a
former
San
Francisco
mayor.
Some
of
these
same
folks,
I
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
when
I
was
in
that
capacity
as
a
County,
Supervisor
and
mayor,
and
have
had
a
very
close
engagement
as
it
relates
to
our
order
compared
to
their
orders,
etc.
We
look
at
low-risk
as
a
framework
for
reopening
in
many
of
these
instances.
Just
yesterday,
I
hope,
you'll
take
a
look.
We
updated.
B
We've
done
this
fairly
consistently
our
statewide
guidelines
for
more
clarification,
looking
at
more
regional
alignment
and
the
rest
and
we'll
be
looking
at
some
of
the
specifics
that
came
out
as
it
relates
to
their
guidelines
on
golf.
There
are
a
number
of
other
parts
of
the
state
that
do
provide
for
low-risk
golfing
already,
so
that's
not
completely
inconsistent,
but
you're
correct.
It
was
interesting.
We
had
specifically
the
conversation
that
you
brought
up
about
the
12
young
folks,
and
so
that
is
a
point
of
clarification
that
we
will
be
advancing
working
with
dr.
angel.
H
Hello,
governor
I,
wanted
to
I
wanted
to
ask
about
your
response
to
some
of
these
counties
up
your
nose
in
California
that
are
wishing
to
reopen
early.
Some
of
them
would
say
that
the
statewide
stay
at
home
approach
is
too
much
of
a
one-size-fits-all
approach.
Do
you
agree
with
that,
or
do
you
feel
like
you
could
have
done
anything
differently
for
some
of
the
more
rural
communities?
Well,.
B
Some
of
the
rural
communities
have
high
rates
of
prevalence
headlines
in
Tulare,
just
as
an
example.
Skilled
nursing
facilities,
number
of
deaths
reported
just
the
last
few
days,
should
note
San
Bernardino,
even
Riverside,
less
rural
than
perhaps
other
parts
of
the
state,
but
Fresno,
certainly
in
that
category
have
had
some
higher
prevalence
of
spread
and
challenges,
particularly
concentrated
and
run
skilled
nursing
facility,
say
it's
a
way
of
just
expressing
this
that
it's
correct.
The
state
is
not
one
size,
but
nor
is
rural
versus
urban
one
size
as
well.
B
So
you
got
to
unpack
all
of
these
things
and
more
nuanced
and
more
detail,
and
you
start
moving
to
north
coast
and
in
central
parts
of
Northern.
California
condition,
of
course,
are
different,
even
still,
as
you
know
yesterday,
and
if
you
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
take
a
look.
Look
at
the
presentation.
Dr.
angel
put
out
in
detail
talked
about
regional
variation.
We've
talked
about
regional
variation
for
now
many
months,
pretty
consistently.
So
the
answer
question
is
no
I've
long,
recognized
and
I've
said
this
on
ad
nauseam
occasions.
B
B
But
we
also
need
community
surveillance
and
we've
made
that
clear
yesterday,
and
so
one
of
the
things
I
just
want
to
remind
all
our
regional
partners
that
look
to
move
sooner.
To
pull
out
of
this
is
that
they
need
to
have
a
surveillance
program
in
place
and
we
need
to
partner
with
you.
We
have
seven
County
surveillance
programs.
I
Yes,
good
afternoon
governor,
you
appeared
on
a
morning
program
today,
where
you
expressed
a
concern
for
a
surge
if
we
relaxed
the
rules
that
we
now
have,
and
you
also
mention
Newport
Beach
and
the
beach
scene
that
you
saw
in
light
of
that,
can
you
go
more
about
your
concern
and
do
you
have
the
executive
power
if
you're
that
concerned
about
the
beaches?
To
simply
say,
beaches
are
closed,
yeah.
B
So
we,
the
last
well
on
Thursday
I,
expressed
specific
concerns
around
what
we
anticipated
would
occur
in
the
coast,
California
about
a
hundred
beaches,
sort
of
easily
defined
100
beaches,
and
there
were
five
where
we
had
some
particular
challenge:
overwhelming
majority.
There
were
no
major
issues,
quite
frankly,
no
issues
of
note,
particularly
LA
San
Diego
parts
of
the
bay
area.
B
Obviously
those
concerns
were
highlighted
on
Saturday
in
particular
little
less
so
on
Sunday
started
Monday
the
press
conference
talking
about
those
concerns
and
talked
a
little
bit
more
about
it.
Yesterday,
I
will
the
answer
your
question
be
making
some
subsequent
announcements
we've
been
working.
I
mentioned
this.
Yesterday
we
had
a
conference
call
with
local
law
enforcement
and
state
law
enforcement
about
some
protocols
and
procedures,
and
we
want
to
get
some
feedback
from
them.
C
J
Respect
you
testing
the
CDC's
released
some
additional
criteria
for
symptoms
of
Kobus
19
are
those
going
to
be
implemented
into
the
screeners
for
testing
in
California
and
how
quickly
will
that
be
adopted?
And
what
kind
of
processes
will
be
in
place
to
make
sure
that
the
different
testing
size
of
the
state
of
contracted
with
are
in
fact
implementing
that
quickly?
Because
in
the
past
there
has
been
a
lag,
particularly
with
barely
in
Sacramento,
between
the
stated
green
policy
and
what
people
are
actually
seeing
when
they
try
to
get
green
as.
B
You
know
we
didn't
wait
for
the
CDC
to
change
their
guidelines.
California
was
the
first
state
to
move
further
than
their
guidelines
and
start
the
process
and
protocols
and
procedures
to
implement
testing
for
a
symptomatic
individuals.
So
to
answer
your
question,
we
got
it
a
little
bit
ahead
of
the
CDC.
Now
you
more
specifically
are
talking
about
one
particular
contractor
there's
over
250
in
the
state
of
California
and
some
of
their
specific
protocols
in
one
particular
part
of
the
state
Sacramento
and
the
good
news
is
I.
Have
our
director
of
Health
and
Human
Services.
K
So
we
are
anticipating,
even
in
the
next
couple
days,
re
issuing
our
own
guidance
and
priority
list
so
that
it
reflects
this
fact
that
more
Californians
can
and
should
be
tested,
and
as
we
increase
those
supplies
more
and
more
each
week,
we
will
begin
to
relax
those
update
those
on
our
CD
pH
website,
so
that
all
testing
sites,
all
individuals,
curious
if
they
should
be
tested,
can
get
guidance
there.
We
are
proud
to
lead
in
this
area.
K
We
know
that
this
is
something
that
all
Californians
need,
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
be
clear
with
our
County
Partners.
That
testing
is
an
important
part
to
relaxing
and
modifying
the
stay
at
home
order.
So,
as
we
continue
to
build
up
that
capacity,
we
will
communicate
that
out.
The
CDC
I
know
it
is
similarly
looking
to
make
sure
that
the
guidelines
are
not
restrictive
as
testing
capacity
increases.
So
we
are
all
moving
forward
with
that.
I
would
say:
California
continues
to
lead
and
push
those
a
little
bit
farther.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
dr.
Kelly,
and
thank
you
all
for
tuning
in
and
for
your
attention
for
the
questions,
and
and
thank
you
for
your
inclusion.
In
that
spirit,
I
mean
those
30-plus
thousand
people
that
are
included
in
the
numbers
of
people
that
have
come
to
the
Californians
for
all
ca.gov
website
to
contribute
their
time
and
energy
and
support
our
food
bank
operations.
B
We
are
in
a
period
of
transition
of
modification
we're
in
period
of
iteration
between
local,
regional
state
and
federal
guidelines,
but
at
the
CDC
guidelines,
be
it
local
jurisdictions
like
the
Bay
Area
coming
together
and
moving
to
come
closer
to
the
state
guidelines
and
then
challenge
a
few
of
those
parameters.
Others
that
want
to
go
much
much
further,
and
so
every
day
we
will
be
again
engaged
in
conversations
open
argument
interested
in
evidence
recognizing
always
regionalism
recognizing
variants,
but
also
recognizing
this
and
I'll
close,
and
that
is
the
number
of
hospitalizations
went
up
again.
B
Yesterday
number
of
ICU
patients
went
up,
number
of
deaths
again
went
up
to
78
from
54.
Yesterday,
I
can't
impress
upon
folks
more
that
just
because
we're
at
a
stage
of
exhaustion
and
frustration
a
little
bit
of
cabin
fever
that
this
virus
is
behind
us.
It
simply
is
not,
and
the
spirit
of
that
last
question
prior
to
the
last
question
of
potential
spread,
don't
take
my
word
for
it.
Take
doctor
foul
cheese
word
for
it.
Take
dr.
Ghali
and
dr.
angel's
word
for
it.
Take
the
medical
professions
word
for
it.
B
We
can
undo
our
progress
in
a
very
short
period
of
time.
What's
taking
us
almost
two
months
to
produce
in
terms
of
getting
stable,
numbers
could
be
unwound
in
a
period
of
just
week
or
two.
Why
put
ourselves
in
that
position
when
we
are
just
a
week
or
two
away
from
significant
modifications
on
our
stay?
B
At
home
order
where
we
could
begin
a
phase
two
of
beginning
to
reopen
sectors
of
our
economy,
that
are
low
risk,
but
do
it
in
a
thoughtful
and
judicious
way
again,
not
on
the
basis
of
pressure,
not
on
the
basis,
a
pump
not
on
the
basis
of
promotion,
but
on
the
basis
of
data
on
the
basis
of
science.
Another
basis
that
is
unifying
I,
think
our
health
professionals
and
that's
your
health.
B
Your
safety,
the
health
and
safety
of
the
most
vulnerable
Californians
are
seniors
and
making
sure
when
we
do
reopen
our
schools,
our
children,
and
to
make
sure
that
they're,
not
vectors
spread
of
this
iris
that
they're
protected
and
those
that
are
serving
our
children
are
also
protected.
That's
the
hard
work
ahead
of
us.
That's
the
hard
work
inside
of
us
we'll
make
those
determinations
on
the
basis
of
our
behavior
and
based
upon
the
behavior
of
40
million
of
us
in
the
state
of
California.
I,
have
great
confidence
and
expectation
over
the
next
few
weeks.
