From YouTube: Governor Newsom's COVID-19 Update - July 22, 2020
Description
Governor Gavin Newsom provides an update on the state's response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Taking aggressive action to boost California’s long-term supply of life-saving personal protective equipment both now and into the fall months, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced new actions to strengthen the state’s response to COVID-19.
Further building a stable stockpile so that health care and essential workers in California do not face the same supply shortages that characterized the early stages of the pandemic, Governor Newsom has directed the Department of Public Health and Office of Emergency Services to further increase the state’s strategic stockpile to 100 million N-95 respirators and 200 million surgical masks by early fall in order to account for the potential need given the recent rise in COVID-19 cases.
Today’s announcement builds on early action taken by the state to secure a stable, reliable supply chain and envision short and long-term strategies to procure respirators and masks.
California’s strategy has paid off. The state has been able to supply millions of medical providers, essential workers, and schools with critical PPE to preserve public health and safety. To date, the state has distributed 86.4 million N-95 respirators and 297 million surgical masks to Californians working on the front lines against COVID-19, including to our hospitals, emergency responders, farm and factory workers and nursing home workers.
In order to fulfill the stockpile goal, which was developed in consultation with health leaders and informed by advanced modeling data, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services has entered into a new contract with California-based BYD North America to produce 120 million N-95 respirators and 300 million surgical masks for the state.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created worldwide competition and shortages for vital PPE supply, with certified N-95 respirator masks in highest demand. California, like other states and national governments all over the world, is working to secure a reliable supply of PPE for the front-line health care workforce and other critical infrastructure workers.
California has also been able to help other states with their unmet emergency PPE needs, supplying 17 million surgical masks to our neighbors in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Alaska.

sanitation
equipment
resides
it's
one
of
many
warehouses
strategically
located
throughout
the
state
of
california.
Today
I
want
to
update
you
on
some
of
our
efforts
around
procurement
to
meet
the
needs
needs
that
now
have
grown
to
46
million
mass
units
per
month
that
are
currently
being
utilized.
What
is
referred
to
as
a
burn
rate,
46
million
masks
now
every
single
month
that
are
being
utilized
just
in
the
state
of
california.
B
So
I
want
to
put
a
perspective
as
we
advance
our
efforts
to
procure
even
more
ppe
about
the
magnitude
of
the
utilization
to
date.
But
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
start
my
remarks
by
acknowledging
the
obvious
that
today
we
are
reporting
here
in
the
state
of
california
data
that
was
collected
yesterday
we
tested
127
000
individuals.
Yesterday
we
tested
a
cohort
that
was
slightly
in
excess
of
the
average
number
of
tests
we've
tested
on
a
daily
basis.
B
B
That
number
has
fluctuated
a
lot
earlier
in
the
week
I
recognized,
or
we
were,
reconciling
just
nine
deaths,
nine
families
who
were
whose
lives
were
torn
apart
because
of
a
loss
of
a
loved
one,
just
nine
and
made
a
point
that
I
want
to
reinforce
today
from
nine
to
115
just
over
the
course
of
a
few
days.
That
is
more
important.
B
I
think
beyond
just
the
magnitude
of
each
individual
loss,
but
in
terms
of
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
the
mortality
rates
here
in
the
state
of
california
to
look
at
those
seven
day
averages
and
over
a
seven
day
period.
We
have
averaged
90
lives,
lost,
that's
compared
to
about
98
lives
in
the
previous
seven
days,
but
nonetheless
90
lives
lost,
and
so
it's
just
another
reminder
if
I
need
to
remind
anybody
of
the
magnitude
of
impact
that
this
virus
continues
to
have.
B
B
The
data
bears
that
out
and
with
that
number
of
115
just
yesterday,
it's
just
another
proof
point
of
how
deadly
this
disease
continues
to
be,
as
it
relates
to
the
total
number
of
positives
at
12
807
that
we
are
reporting
today,
putting
that
in
perspective,
we've
averaged
on
a
seven
day
period,
nine
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty.
That
is
up
from
previous
week
of
roughly
eighty
three
hundred
so
you're,
certainly
seeing
that
trend
line
continue
to
increase
more
tests,
obviously
more
positives,
but
nonetheless,
positivity
rate
continues
to
go
up.
B
Modestly,
our
14-day
positivity
rate
has
remained
steady
at
7.4
7.4
positivity
rate
over
14
day
period
here
in
the
state
of
california,
but
the
seven
day
rate
is
approaching
where
we
were
last
monday,
you'll
recall.
Last
monday,
we
were
at
seven
point
seven
percent
over
just
a
seven
day,
positivity
period
where
it's
seven
point
six
percent
today.
So
that
is
cause
of
some
concern.
Each
decimal
point
represents
what
I
would
argue
is
a
significant
increase
in
that
positivity
rate,
but
7.4
over
a
14
day
period.
B
12
807
reported
over
the
last
24
hour
period
in
terms
of
total
number
of
positive
cases
in
this
state
115
individuals
that
lost
their
lives
into
each
and
every
member
of
their
family.
Our
hearts
go
out
to
you
and
we
have
not
forgotten
how
deadly
this
disease
continues
to
be.
The
purpose
of
advancing
the
presentation
today
with
that
cause
of
concern,
is
also
highlighted
by
the
nature
of
this
virus,
now
reaching
north
of
400
000
positive
cases
that
we've
collected
here
in
the
state
of
california
we're
a
state
again
size
of
21
states
combined.
B
Looking
at
these
numbers.
Looking
at
these
trend
lines
before
they
were
becoming
headlines,
we
moved
forward
with
a
new
psa
campaign.
We
moved
forward
with
these
additional
modifications
in
the
35
now
counties
that
are
in
our
watch
list.
We
just
added
butte
county
to
that
cohort
of
counties
35
of
our
58
counties
now
on
the
watch
list
and
why
we
have
additional
requirements
in
those
counties
in
particular.
So
again,
none
of
these
numbers
in
and
of
themselves
mark
a
distinction
from
our
approach
and
strategies.
B
Appropriate
human
capital
that
may
be
needed
to
staff
the
beds.
These
alternative
care
sites
support
our
efforts
in
terms
of
contact,
tracing
and
the
like,
but
the
purpose
of
today
is
to
focus
on
another
element
of
our
preparedness
and
what
we've
been
doing
now
for
many
many
months
to
highlight
where
we
are
and
where
we
intend
to
go
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
months.
In
terms
of
procuring
ppe,
our
ppe
strategy
has
been
a
success.
B
We
could
have
either
lamented
that
been
frustrated
by
that
pointing
fingers
at
other
partners
or
the
failure
of
developing
partnerships
in
this
space.
Rather,
we
decided
to
change
the
game,
try
to
be
more
resourceful
in
our
mindset.
In
terms
of
how
we
approach
the
issue
of
procurement
of
ppe,
we
announced
a
number
of
months
ago
a
very
bold
strategy
to
shape
ppp
ppe
procurement,
not
only
for
the
state,
but
we
thought
we
could
accelerate
the
efforts
for
this
nation
by
developing
new
and
larger
contracts.
B
B
We
announced
those
and
that
we
would
maintain
a
consistent
supply
chain
that
would
come
into
the
state
of
california
in
may
and
june,
and
we
were
able
to
secure
exactly
well
within
a
margin
of
what
we
anticipate
193
units
of
surgical
masks.
Out
of
200
million
have
already
arrived
here
in
the
state
of
california.
B
B
There
was
a
little
bit
of
delay
with
what
we
referred
to
as
a
niosh
certification
for
some
of
the
n95
mass,
but,
as
I
said
at
the
time,
delays
were
not
denials
and
we
were
able
to
work
through
some
of
those
certification
issues
with
our
federal
partners
and,
as
a
consequence,
we
were
able
to
procure
those
assets
in
those
additional
units.
Why
does
that
matter?
You
could
see
some
of
the
masks
behind
me.
B
It
matters
for
precisely
the
reason
that
we
work
so
aggressively
to
bend
the
curve
initially,
and
that
was
as
we
reopen
the
economy,
and
we
do
so
in
a
strategic
and
phased
approach.
We
needed
to
maintain
a
level
of
safety
and
confidence
for
our
health
care
workers,
our
frontline
workers,
our
nurses,
our
nurse
practitioners,
our
doctors,
our
medical
professionals,
on
the
front
lines,
our
first
responders.
B
We
talked
as
well
about
the
folks
that
are
on
the
front
line
our
grocery
workers,
our
farm
workers,
to
make
sure,
as
we
were,
maintaining
the
essential
nature
of
our
economy
and
maintaining
our
aggressive
stance
in
terms
of
providing
the
highest
quality
health
care
that
we
possibly
could
that
we
needed
to
protect
those
workers
and
we've
been
able
to
get
out.
Some
297
million
procedure
masks
already
that
we've
been
able
to
distribute
into
those
essential
workers
into
those
sectors
of
our
economy,
to
counties
and
cities.
B
Large
and
small,
and
we've
been
able
to
do
about
86
million
mass
85.5
million
and
95
masks
that
we've
been
able
to
distribute
as
well
so
over
the
last
few
months,
close
to
300
million
procedure,
masks
have
been
distributed
and
again
just
shy
of
86
million
and
95
masks.
Today,
we
currently
have
an
inventory
like
which
you
see
behind
me
because
of
these
large
procurements
and
contracts
of
111
million
units
of
n95
masks
we're
distributing
those
they
come
in.
They
come
out,
but
currently
because
of
the
large
procurement
we
have.
B
111
million
of
the
n95
masks
and
roughly
147
million
units
still
in
inventory
of
our
procedure
masks
we
recognize
147
million.
100
million
is
not
adequate
still
to
where
we
need
to
be,
and
as
a
consequence
of
that,
we
just
made
a
commitment
to
extend
as
a
bridge
contract
with
byd
the
additional
procurement
of
120
million
masks,
300
million
masks
for
procedure
and
surgical
purposes
and
120
million
masks
as
part
of
our
n95
procurement.
B
It's
still
not
where
it
needs
to
be,
and
that's
why
we're
doing
this
bridge
contract.
But
as
we
look
into
september
october
november
into
the
new
year,
we
anticipate
it
to
be
a
lot
more
competitive
with
honeywell
with
3m
other
companies,
including
california,
based
manufacturers
that
will
be
entering
into
the
market
that
can
start
to
procure
at
scale
the
numbers
that
are
needed
to
meet
the
needs
of
this
state.
So
we're
putting
that
information
out.
We
want
more
competitive
bids.
We
want
more
california-based
manufacturers
and
you
may
recall
a
few
weeks
back.
B
I
was
at
another
facility
here
in
the
state
of
california,
announcing
a
partnership
with
our
california
manufacturing
and
technology
association
cmta,
where
we
have
a
safely
making
california
site
safely,
making
california
site,
which
now
has
over
400
california-based
manufacturers
providing
over
435
different
supply
needs
within
the
state
of
california.
One
of
those
manufacturers
we
highlighted
was
avoc.
B
Avoc
is
a
retooled
manufacturer
in
santa
clara
california
that
we
were
able
to
make
a
commitment
to
procure
40
million
and
95
masks.
Those
masks
are
coming
off
the
production
line
coming
into
the
state
inventory.
Those
40
million
will
draw
all
of
them
down
in
that
first
phase
contract
by
august.
That's
a
good
and
encouraging
sign
again.
We
want
california
manufacturers,
creating
california-based
jobs,
developing
ppe
for
californians,
and
we
hope
for
the
nation,
and
we
should
go
bold
and
big
for
the
rest
of
the
world,
and
so
that's
exactly
what
we're
encouraging.
B
That
was
the
commitment
we
made
as
part
of
that
partnership
with
cmta
we're
seeing
fruits
of
that
partnership,
the
biggest
again
being
avoc
in
santa
clara.
We
just
want
to
compliment
their
team
for
retooling,
display
signs
for
conferences,
retooling
their
assembly
lines
completely
and
making
these
critical
n95
masks
at
a
competitive
price,
and
we
hope
they
are
among
many
of
the
bidders
honeywell
3m
and
others
byd
included
that
all
can
compete
to
get
those
lower
prices
so
that
we
can
make
some
longer
term
commitments
full
disclosure.
B
We
had
conversations
with
the
ceo
personal
conversation,
ceo
honeywell,
as
an
example
about
opening
a
california-based
facility
and
creating
hundreds,
if
not
thousand,
plus
jobs
here
in
the
state
that
facility,
we
hope
to
encourage
the
development
at
facility,
but
those
units
won't
come
online
as
quickly
as
we
need
them
to
and
again
that's
the
purpose
of
announcing
this
bridge
contract.
Let
me
just
for
the
purposes
of
explaining
contextually
what
has
been
referred
to
by
me
and
others
is
the
wild
wild
west
of
procurement.
Looking
back
just
90
to
100
days
ago.
B
Let
me
give
you
a
sense
of
where
we
are
at
least
from
our
perspective
here
in
the
state
of
california.
Today,
in
terms
of
procurement
landscape,
we
reached
out,
we
want
to
diversify
our
supply
chain.
We
reached
out
as
an
example
to
3m
based
manufacturers,
granger
all-star,
others
that
are
sourcing
a
lot
of
their
supplies,
some
3m
3m
directly.
B
Interestingly,
we
made
a
commitment,
or
rather
3m,
made
a
commitment
to
us
to
draw
down
12.4
million
and
95
mass.
This
is
not
a
critique,
it's
an
observation
and
a
proof
point
of
where
we
are.
We
made
that
commitment
many
months
ago.
They
made
that
commitment
in
partnership,
those
12.4
million
mass,
only
290
000
of
those
mass
have
been
delivered
only
290
000
of
the
12.4
million.
So
it's
a
way
of
expressing
this.
B
While
there
are
a
lot
of
california
and
american
manufacturers
they're,
just
not
providing
the
delivery
at
scale,
that's
necessary
of
the
moment
that
we're
in
it's
not
just
the
moment,
we're
in
here
in
the
state
of
california.
I've
mentioned
this
in
the
past,
california
has
distributed
over
17
million
masks
to
neighboring
states
because
of
our
large-scale
procurement.
B
Other
states
competing
with
the
federal
government
competing
in
a
global
market,
but
also
competing
with
other
states
they're,
seeing
similar
reduction
in
the
supply,
because
the
demand
is
going
up
and
as
a
consequence,
their
needs
are
great
and
so
nevada
in
oregon,
alaska
and
arizona,
those
four
states
and
working
with
a
few
other
states.
I
may
have
highlighted
one
or
two
of
them
in
previous
comments.
A
few
weeks
ago,
we
have
in
partnership
with
fema
who's.
Just
been
spectacular.
B
Bob
fenton
talk
about
partnerships.
Fema
has
been
spectacular
partner
to
the
state
of
california,
with
their
extraordinary
regional
leadership
and
bob
fenton
helping
also
support
our
partners
in
other
states.
So
I
guess
it's
a
point
of
pride,
but
it's
also
a
point
of
emphasis
that
we
decided
to
think
outside
the
box.
B
We
did
something
big
and
bold,
and
we
were
able
to
move
more
boxes
into
warehouses
like
this
than
any
other
state,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
emphasize
these
efforts
and
to
magnify
them
even
further,
and
that
again,
long-windedly
is
the
purpose
of
the
announcement
here
today,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
mark
giladucci
and
his
team
at
the
office
of
emergency
services.
I
want
to
thank
our
partners
in
the
legislature
that
have
been
informed
of
our
new
bridge
contract.
B
We're
able
to
get
the
price
down
with
this
new
bridge
contract
quite
significantly
again
we're
in
a
different
environment
and
we're
going
to
demand
more
competitive
pricing,
not
only
in
this
environment,
but
going
forward
through
our
master
efforts
in
terms
of
the
master
contracts.
I
want
to
thank
by
the
way
all
of
the
warehouse
workers
that
are
here
assembled.
B
These
are
the
quiet
heroes
that
have
been
moving
this
product
in
and
out,
and
also
quantifying
that
the
product
that's
coming
in
actually
was
delivered.
We
do
that
on
site
when
it
comes
off
the
planes,
but
also
it's
part
of
the
efforts
here
in
these
remarkably
well
resourced
warehouse
facilities
up
and
down
the
state.
You've
got
folks
by
the
way
that
worked
in
these
warehouses,
well,
three
or
four
administrations
prior
to
the
current
administration
and
have
some
wonderful
procurement
stories.
B
That's
a
an
aside
for
another
day,
except
to
say
I
just
want
to
express
my
admiration
for
the
men
and
women
that
are
working
here,
often
not
often
almost
exclusively
unnoticed,
that
are
part
of
this
supply
chain
effort
moving
product
all
up
and
down
the
state.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
this
in
a
in
a
in
a
responsive
way,
and
that
is,
I
still
continue
to
get
calls
from
folks.
That
say
you
know
you
mentioned
that
you
sent
out.
B
You
know
297
million
procedure
mass
which
we
have,
but
we
still
don't
have
ours,
and
I
hear
that
anecdotally
and
increasingly
we're
hearing
specific
examples
of
that,
including
some
of
our
nurses.
I
talked
to
a
number
of
people
and
I
just
want
to
compliment
one
if
I
may
sal
roselli,
who
represents
workers
a
lot
of
them
work
at
kaiser,
who
was
very
pointed
when
sal
said
you
know
what
we
need
to
see
more
distribution
of
n95
mass
to
our
front
line
workers.
B
Some
are
getting
two
or
three
for
a
week,
and
I
just
want
to
express
this
as
publicly
as
I
can.
That's
unacceptable
we're
sending
out
an
unprecedented
number
of
masks.
I
want
to
make
sure
those
masks
are
going
to
our
front
line
workers,
and
so
we
are
advancing
much
more
aggressive
and
I
say
more
aggressive
because
we
haven't
been
shy
in
this
space,
but
more
aggressive
protocols
of
accountability,
because
we
we
bring
these
things
in,
we
get
them
out
regionally.
B
But
I
want
folks
to
know
like
sal
and
others,
the
nurses
I
want
to
thank
cna
california,
nurse
association
they've
been
very
pointed
in
this
space
that
we
hear
you
and
we
recognize,
despite
the
unprecedented
nature
of
our
ppe
distribution,
that
we
still
hear
those
stories,
and
we
have
got
to
address
that
issue,
and
I
I
want
folks
to
know
we're
not
naive
to
that
challenge
and
that
responsibility
to
accelerate
the
transparency
and
the
accountability
in
that
space.
So
where
are
we?
B
We
announced
last
week
efforts
to
look
at
these
35
counties
out
of
our
58
counties
and
look
at
new
requirements.
New
accountability
as
it
relates
to
school
openings,
to
be
more
responsible
and
responsive
to
the
concern
of
safety
of
our
children,
as
well
as
those
that
we
entrust
to
take
care
of
our
children,
our
bus
drivers,
our
janitors,
our
principals,
our
nurses,
our
secretaries
and
yes,
our
teachers
to
make
sure
that
ecosystem
is
protected
from
an
increase.
B
In
the
background
rate
of
infections
of
covet
19.,
we
announced
a
step
up
effort
in
our
public
awareness
campaign
in
this
state,
and
we
showed
you
and
shared
with
you.
Some
of
those
psas
that
are
being
targeted
in
a
more
culturally
competent
way,
focusing
on
the
needs
to
particularly
focus
on
the
safety
of
our
essential
workers,
not
just
our
front
line
health
care
workers
that
we'll
be
talking
a
lot
more
about.
On
friday,
we
talked
about
the
importance
of
taking
seriously
the
mandates
on
face
coverings
and
face
masks.
B
I
deeply
empathize
with
the
stress
and
the
impacts
of
these
decisions
and
announcements
that
we
make
on
a
weekly
basis
and
the
impact
that
has
on
not
just
your
business
on
your
personal
life
and
your
family's
life.
The
vast
majority
of
businesses
are
doing
an
extraordinary
job
during
these
very
difficult
circumstances,
but
we've
talked
nonetheless
about
those
enforcement
efforts.
We
talked
about
the
modifications
I
just
reinforced,
some
of
them,
as
it
relates
to
moving
more
and
more
indoor
activities
into
the
outdoor
settings
where
the
circulation
works
to
our
advantage.
B
Not
the
disadvantage
of
being
indoors
in
a
constrained
environment
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
where
you're
more
likely
to
contact
or
contract
this
disease.
I
want
to
applaud
the
president
and
others
for
now
wearing
a
mask
and
sending
a
message.
I
hope
that
and
expect
that
will
have
an
impact
on
socializing,
a
deeper
consciousness
of
the
power
and
potency
of
this
non-pharmaceutical
pharmaceutical
intervention
on
reducing
the
spread
and
the
transmission
of
this
virus.
B
More
and
subsequent
support
that
we
are
currently
engaged
in
partnering
and
advancing
with
not
only
federal
partners,
but
many
state
agencies
that
will
begin
to
supplement
the
work.
That's
already
underway
by
the
alphabet
soup
of
agencies
that
many
of
you
have
become
familiar
with
from
hhs
c
d,
p,
h,
cms
and
so
many
others
that
that
you
often
hear
in
these
presentations.
B
I
made
this
point
clear
before
I
open
up
the
questions.
Let
me
make
this
abundantly
clear.
We
were
able
to
bend
the
curve
many
months
ago
in
the
state
of
california
that
bought
us
time
to
purchase
and
to
procure
the
kind
of
equipment
you
see
behind
me
to
put
together
our
plans
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
only
resourced,
but
we
have
a
resourceful
mindset
in
terms
of
how
we
collaborate
how
we
share
how
we
partner
that
was
the
benefit
of
bending
that
curve.
B
Obviously,
over
the
course
of
many
many
months
as
people
now
begin
to
mix
in
some
cases
put
their
guard
down,
we'll
see
those
numbers,
and
we
have
seen
those
numbers
increase.
As
a
consequence
of
that,
we
need
to
be
more
vigilant
and
we
need
more
aware
of
our
own
personal
behaviors
and
more
responsible,
as
it
relates
to
our
collective
efforts
segment
by
segment
industry
by
industry,
county
by
county
in
the
state
of
california,
and
we're
seeing
increasing
signs
of
consciousness,
increasing
signs
of
awareness,
increasing
signs
of
compliance
with
exceptions.
B
I
am
not
naive
in
all
parts
of
this
state,
and
I
want
to
in
that
spirit
thank
the
people
of
the
state
of
california
for
their
seriousness
of
a
purpose
for
their
intentionality,
for
their
recognition
of
their
own
power
and
potency
to
bend
this
curve.
Again,
as
we
did
the
first
time,
we
will
do
that.
We
will
succeed
in
extinguishing
this
virus.
B
We
will
succeed
in
going
back
to
some
semblance
of
a
higher,
well
higher
vigilance
but
semblance
of
normalcy
when
we
get
this
vaccine
when
we
work
through
the
therapeutic
efforts
and
when
we
get
on
the
other
side
of
this.
But
when
that
happens,
we'll
be
determined
on
our
behavior
day
in
day
out
individual
by
individual,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
that
have
taken
this
seriously
and
responsibly
and
the
more
we
do
that
and
we
more.
B
We
see
that
contagion
of
good
behavior
modeled
by
others,
particularly
young
folks,
in
the
state
of
california,
to
protect
the
older
folks
and
themselves.
The
sooner
we'll
reopen
these
schools,
the
sooner
we'll
get
back
to
business.
The
sooner
we'll
get
back
to
the
kinds
of
activities
that
so
many
of
us
understandably
miss
and
demand
in
a
free
society.
And
so
we
all
look
forward
to
that.
B
We
all
will
enjoy
and
experience
that
as
long
as
we
maintain
our
vigilance
in
seriousness
of
purpose,
which
I'm
confident
as
a
state
has
demonstrably
done
in
the
past.
We
will
continue
to
do
as
we
work
through
this
moment
and
through
the
next
few
months,
which
are
critical
in
terms
of
getting
us
out
of
this
first
wave
preparing
for
the
fall
season
and
ultimately
getting
to
the
therapeutics
and
the
vaccines
that
we
expect
in
the
early
part
of
next
year.
D
Governor,
thank
you,
as
always
for
us
taking
our
questions.
Oakland
mayor
libby
schaff
said
earlier
today
that
what
she
is
most
concerned
about,
as
she
looks
ahead
to
sort
of
the
long
arc
of
recovery,
is
once
these
eviction
moratoriums
expire,
what
she
referred
to
as
a
homelessness
armageddon
as
more
people
tumble
into
homelessness.
B
Yeah
I'm
looking
beyond
that
I've.
We
have
a
lot
of
concerns
moving
in
the
future.
I
think
there's
wisdom
in
mayor
chef's
comments
to
you
comments
to
me.
She's
made
the
above
and
declare
privately
to
her
credit
for
many
many
months,
but
increasing
consciousness
nationally.
That
consciousness
now
manifesting
in
a
growing
recognition
in
washington
dc
that
we
are
walking
towards
the
edge
of
a
cliff
that
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we
did
as
a
nation
as
a
state
related
to
the
stimulus.
B
The
cares
act,
the
relationship
that
states
had
to
executive
orders
that
were
done
by
governors
and
legislative
efforts
that
were
done
by
their
respective
legislatures
were
temporary
in
nature.
Perfect
example,
that
is
the
unemployment
benefits
that
six
hundred
dollars
due
to
expire
next
week,
the
end
of
the
month,
the
prospects
that
many
of
the
executive
orders
not
just
those
that
I
put
out
those
90
60
to
90
day
executive
orders.
B
The
judicial
council
put
out
not
just
our
office
put
out,
also
are
due
to
expire
all
the
local
efforts
that
may
have
magnified
some
of
these
state
efforts.
Many
of
them
do
to
expire.
So
the
answer.
Jeremy
to
your
question
very
directly
is
yes,
we
are
working
very
closely
with
the
legislature,
but
more
than
that,
I'm
also
looking
at
the
authority
vested
in
me,
emergency
services
act
and
the
work
that
I
can
do
to
extend
consideration
on
some
of
these
executive
orders,
which
are
you're
well
familiar.
B
Clearly
incarceration
is
a
big
issue,
and
that
is
not
just
california
state
system,
but
that's
also
county
jails,
congregate
settings
that
would
include
homeless,
shelters
and
then
latinx
community
broadly
defined,
and
so
we
really
need
to
sharpen
our
focus
and
supports
in
those
areas.
And
not
surprisingly,
when
you
look
at
the
issue
of
moratoria,
you
look
at
the
issue
of
evictions,
the
disproportionate
number
of
individuals
that
are
most
vulnerable
in
this
environment,
to
those
evictions
disproportionately
represented
in
black
and
brown
communities,
and
also
that
needs
to
be
taken
into
account
and
considered.
B
So
the
answer
is
yes,
and
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
more
flavor
of
yes
and
we
are
working
on
a
series
of
things
more
you'll
hear
about
friday
and
certainly
look
forward
to
working
with
the
legislature
on
advancing
more
broadly,
some
additional
supports
in
the
space
final
point,
because
it
deserves
a
little
more
amplification.
We
haven't
waited
around
in
any
of
these
spaces,
nor
have
we
waited
around,
and
I
appreciate
your
recognition
of
not
only
project
room
key
but
now
project
homekey.
E
Thank
you
governor.
I
have
a
question
about
education.
When
we've
spoken
in
the
past,
you
admitted
that
your
kids
didn't
necessarily
listen
to
you
the
way
that
they
listen
to
their
teachers
when
it
comes
to
the
issue
of
education,
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
give
some
advice
to
parents
that
may
be
struggling
with
distance
learning
and
specifically
struggling
with
the
issue
of
child
care,
especially
working
families.
Is
there
anything
that
the
state
can
do
to
help
them,
especially
essential
working
families,
yeah.
B
We've
done
a
lot
to
increase
child
care
slots
in
the
state
of
california,
particularly
targeted
at
essential
workers
and
and
you're
right.
We
define
essential
workers
have
traditionally
I've
talked
in
terms
of
a
nurse
with
a
four-year-old
how
essential
that
nurse
is
and
how
we
must
avail
opportunities
for
child
care
with
all
the
conditions,
all
the
criteria
we
set
out
very
prescriptive
in
terms
of
the
guidelines
we
put
out
in
the
child
care
space
to
keep
our
caregivers
safe,
as
well
as
keeping
our
children
safe
in
that
space.
B
But
as
we
move
to
open
our
schools
back
up
those
essential
workers
now
include
our
teachers
with
children
as
well,
that
we
also
must
avail
more
child
care
opportunities
to,
in
addition
to
other
essential
workers
throughout
the
state
of
california.
So
more
work
to
do
in
that
child
care
space.
Look,
as
relates
to
your
a
very
pointed
question
about
advice.
I'll
tell
you,
after
the
fourth
night
in
a
row
of
trying
to
get
my
seven-year-old
to
go
to
sleep
before
10
p.m.
I'm
the
one
needing
counsel
and
advice.
B
Just
in
that
space,
let
alone
how
to
encourage
our
kids
to
better
attune
their
minds
to
what
is
novel
to
many
of
them,
and
that
is
distance
learning,
which
is
a
challenge
in
any
experience.
Even
if
it's
not
within
a
household,
I
can
imagine
how
difficult
it
is
in
households
all
throughout
this
state
where
you've
got
kids,
where
I
grew
up.
My
sister
and
I
living
in
the
same
room,
everyone's
bunked,
together,
small
households,
where
there's
not
a
lot
of
space.
B
B
So
we
can
mitigate
the
stress
on
parents,
including
this
parent,
in
terms
of
educating
our
kids
we've
been
doing.
Forgive
me
alex
for
so
long-windedly
answering
your
question.
I
know
you're
you're
in
the
tv
business,
so
this
is
an
editing
challenge
for
you,
perhaps
more
than
it
is
anything
else,
but
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
webinars
in
this
space
to
help
educate,
including
our
kids,
our
parents,
not
just
our
educators.
On
distance
learning,
we
put
out
a
lot
of
guidelines
in
this
space
to
help
educate
and
support
parents.
B
I
know
our
school
we're
sending
our
kids
with
preschool
kids
with
other
kids
going
to
elementary
school
middle
school
they've,
also
been
putting
out
kids
and
kits
and
guidelines
some
videos
to
help
support
parents
like
myself,
my
wife,
this
effort-
and
we
want
to
continue
to
see
more
of
that
and
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
that.
I
know
austin
buettner
and
allie
unified
school
district
beginning
to
do
a
lot
of
that
as
well
to
his
credit,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
to
do
a
lot
more
because
you're
right,
the
stresses
are
real.
F
Hi
governor
thanks
so
much,
I
want
to
ask
about
quest
diagnostics
there,
it's
taking
between
five
and
seven
days
to
get
results
for
tests
for
diagnostic
tests
right
now,
and
I
know
that
they're
a
really
important
part
of
california's
testing
infrastructure,
both
private
and
public,
these
tesla
taking
a
really
long
time
for
results.
Are
you
at
all
rethinking
this
partnership
or
any
of
their
contracts
with
quest?
How
what
are
you
thinking
about
to
try
and
get
some
of
these
results
a
little
faster
and
a
little
bit
more
meaningful.
B
So,
as
you
know,
we
reconstituted
our
testing
task
force.
Dr
galley
a
week
ago
made
that
announcement
laid
out
in
specific
detail
new
strategies,
new
protocols,
new
acuity
of
focus
on
testing
new,
tiered
strategies
for
testing.
He
talked
at
length
about
time
to
diagnostic.
Look,
it's
rather
preposterous,
isn't
it
that
you
can
get
a
test
and
13
14
days
later
you
get
a
result,
it's
utterly
meaningless
and
so
you're
absolutely
right
to
highlight
one
of
our
national
labs,
but
what's
happening
is
this
example?
B
Your
example
is
exampled
across
this
nation,
as
more
pressure
is
put
on
these
national
labs
again.
All
of
this
is
in
the
absence
of
a
national
testing
strategy.
That
said,
that's
not
a
surprising
statement
and
that's
certainly
not
a
surprising
reality.
You
know
well
kaiser
health
news
done
a
wonderful
job,
covering
efforts
here
in
the
state
of
california,
where
we
were
averaging
less
than
2
000
tests
a
day
a
little
over
100
days
ago,
now
averaging
over
125
000
tests.
B
Dr
galley
laid
that
out
again
with
some
more
specificity
on
tuesday
yesterday,
where
he
laid
out
some
additional
thinking,
not
just
about
testing,
but
how
does
that
integrate
into
contact
tracing
and
our
work
in
that
space
to
isolate
and
quarantine
people
with
all
of
that
as
a
predicate,
let
me
now
ask
dr
galli
to
come
up
and
amplify
some
of
what
he
said
last
week.
What
he
may
have
said
yesterday
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
specifically
about
how
he
sees
the
partnership
with
quest
we're
not
going
to
abandon
quest.
G
Just
under
two
weeks
ago,
I
had
a
conversation
with
some
of
their
senior
leadership
about
exactly
that
test.
Turnaround
issue
that
some
tests.
As
I
said
a
couple
of
days
ago,
some
of
the
tests
are
getting
turned
around
in
24
48
hours
and
others
are
taking
quite
a
long
time
to
bring
that
average
down
to
seven
eight
days
and,
as
the
governor
said,
that's
not
always
useful.
It's
often
never
useful
to
have
a
turnaround
time
of
that
length.
So
what
california
has
done
through
the
testing
task
force
is
look
where
we
have
lab
capacity.
G
So
this
is
not
about
collecting
the
tests.
That's
happening.
It's
really
getting
that
test
result
processed
in
a
lab
on
an
equipment
on
a
p
on
an
instrument
with
the
right
reagents
and
the
right
test
kits
and
now.
California's
challenge
and
opportunity
is
to
ensure,
as
those
tests
get
collected,
they're
not
just
sent
to
quest
quest
needs
to
be
able
to
get
the
amount
of
tests
that
they
can
process
in
a
timely
way.
G
And
then
we
have
other
labs
where
we
can
bring
some
of
those
tests
and
have
them
process
so
that
we
get
meaningful
test
results.
And
so
that's
exactly.
One
of
the
key
points
of
focus
of
our
testing
task
force
is
matching
up
where
those
tests
are
collected
with
the
labs
that
can
actually
run
them
in
a
speedy
enough
time
to
get
meaningful
results.
B
And
just
let
me
finish
on
the
point
again.
Thank
you
for
the
question
monday.
I
mentioned
the
work,
we're
doing
to
advance
the
efforts
of
pooled
testing
to
allow
more
cohorts
of
samples
to
be
tested
at
the
same
time,
partnerships
that
we'll
be
announcing
more
formally
efforts
that
have
been
underway
for
some
time.
Ucla
stanford
other
university
medical
systems
have
been
eager
to
move
forward
with
the
pull
testing
approach.
B
Now,
with
more
clarification
that
came
monday
from
our
federal
partners,
that's
a
space
where
we'll
be
able
to
be
able
to
sample
more
individuals,
be
able
to
test
more
individuals
and
be
able
to
move
forward
more
expeditiously
through
more
and
more
surveillance.
That
will
also
potentially
significantly
help
our
efforts,
reopening
our
schools
and
keeping
our
kids
and
our
caregivers
teachers
and
others
safe
as
well.
H
Thank
you,
governor
springboarding,
off
alex
michaelson's
question.
Thousands
of
california
parents
have
joined
a
pandemic
pods
and
micro
schools,
facebook
groups
and
are
making
plans
for
shared
family
distance
learning
with
either
a
higher
teacher
or
tutor.
Well,
you
were
jen
or
you
engine,
I
should
say,
join
a
pandemic
pod.
This
fall.
What
do
you
suggest
to
working
parents
who
can't
afford
to
hire
a
teacher
or
tutor,
and
how
will
california
address
the
economic
divide
or
disparity
that
could
develop
here?.
B
Yeah,
so
we've
been
very
forthright,
as
you
may
have
seen
from
a
number
of
our
presentations
over
the
last
few
weeks,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
announcements
around
our
school
guidelines.
Some
of
our
efforts
to
address
the
digital
divide,
some
our
efforts
to
get
philanthropy
to
step
up
to
support.
As
we
noted
one
hundred
thousand
new
wi-fi
spots
that
google
and
others
were
help
helped
us
advance.
B
We
also
were
able
to
procure
tens
of
thousands
of
chromebooks
and
laptops
and
other
devices
targeted
at
what
we
refer
to
as
leds
disproportionately
that
have
an
over
representation
of
people
that
are
in
desperate
need
of
these
devices.
So
those
efforts
have
been
underway.
For
a
number
of
months,
we've
broadly
been
able
to
close
that
digital
divide
by
an
estimate,
at
least
linda
darling.
B
B
I
look
forward
to
making
some
announcements
very
very
shortly.
In
furthering
that
effort
to
address
the
digital
divide,
this
is
our
top
concern
in
this
state
issue
of
equity
and
I'll
remind
you-
and
this
is
a
critical
point-
that
one
of
the
foundational
predicates
when
I
introduced
the
may
revise
of
the
budget
was
the
issue
of
equity.
That
goes
to
the
core
of
your
question,
and
we
didn't
attach
that
as
a
throwaway
line.
We
did
not
attach
that
as
a
statement
to
emphasize.
B
These
are
self-organizing
communities.
It's
exactly
what
we
need
to
see
more
of
more
parental
involvement,
more
sharing
of
best
practices,
not
just
pain
and
struggles,
and
suffering,
more
empathy,
more
engagement
and
I'm
very
encouraged
by
the
example
you
offered
in
terms
of
people,
families
coming
together
and
sharing
ideas
and
insights.
B
I
Matters
you
governor
you
mentioned
that
you're
hearing
from
some
medical
workers,
nurses
and
that
they're
not
getting
ppe,
which
we've
heard
from
hospitals
as
well,
that
it's
improved,
but
it's
still
spotty.
So
I'm
just
wondering.
Why
are
why
are
you
sending
masks
to
the
other
states
that
you
mentioned?
If,
if
our
own
hospitals
still
don't
have
them
and
are
you
putting
your
own
political
ambitions
above
the
needs
of
californians.
B
So
we
have
86
million
and
95
masks
in
inventory
today,
86
million
and
95
masks
in
m4
inventory.
Today
we
have
111
million
surgical
and
procedure
masks
in
inventory.
Today
you
can
see
some
of
the
procedure,
the
n95
masks
behind
me.
We
developed
a
partnership
with
fema
and
bob
fenton,
a
recognition
of
partnership
as
well,
which
demonstrably
was
advanced
in
a
western
states
collaborative
to
be
supportive
of
procurement.
B
Following
through
on
the
promises
and
the
promotions
we
made
may
and
june
in
the
development
of
the
partnership
with
byd,
we
were
in
a
position
in
partnership
with
fema,
which
remember
is
paying
for
75
percent
of
all
of
the
ppe
to
be
supportive
of
people
in
need.
Arizona
was
the
first
state.
They
were
very
desperate
a
few
months
ago.
It
would
have
been
wrong
for
me
to
sit
on
a
hundred
million
masks
here
in
the
state
of
california
and
not
helped
american
citizens
in
real
need.
B
I
would
have
been
able
to
sleep
well
at
night.
I
don't
know
many
people
could
and
still
meet
the
needs
of
hundreds
of
millions
of
masks
that
we've
been
able
to
distribute.
Remember
297
million
masks
that
we
have
distributed
specifically
procedure
mass
in
the
state,
and
so
the
issue
of
supply
mismatch
is
not
about
total
numbers
of
units.
It's
about
how
that
distribution
system
is
operating,
and
I
was
very
forthright
in
terms
of
the
presentation
in
laying
out
our
more
aggressive
oversight
in
terms
of
that
distribution.
But
it's
not
for
a
lack
of
inventory.
J
Hello
governor,
I
was
hoping
to
get
some
clarity
on
the
state's
icu
bed
capacity.
The
state's
coveted
website
shows
around
four
thousand
ice
cubes
that's
available,
but
the
cdc's
number
suggests
we
have
more
than
twelve
thousand.
You
had
also
mentioned
earlier
this
month.
The
ic
capacity
was
around
ten
thousand
eight
hundred.
Could
you
break
down
how
many
total
icu
beds
are
in
the
estate
and
of
those
total
beds?
How
many
are
occupied
versus
unoccupied
and
of
those
available?
That's
how
many
are
occupied
by
non-covetation.
B
B
But
if
you
go
back,
take
a
look:
it's
on
the
site.
You
can
easily
attach
the
specific
presentation.
You'll
see
a
pie
chart
that
I
put
out
representing
about
17,
not
about
you'll,
see
a
number
17
percent.
It's
blue,
there's
orange
around
it.
The
blue
represents
the
total
number
of
positive
covalent
19
patients
representing
17
of
the
total
availability
of
icu,
and
so
we're
on
the
same
page,
nicu
beds
in
our
system.
B
You
also
see
on
that
chart
the
number
of
available
ventilators,
which
is
just
shy
of
11
000
in
our
hospital
system,
and
you
will
see
the
total
number
of
icu
beds
in
our
system
and
the
specific
number
of
c19
positive
patients.
I
put
that
out
every
monday,
it's
a
very
contemporary
numbers,
as
they're
only
48
hours
old,
and
I
will
do
my
best
if
you
desire
to
get
even
more
contemporary
numbers
representing
yesterday's
increase.
B
I
guess
that
concludes
the
questions.
Let
me
thank
everybody.
For
their
pointed
questions
and
they're
curious,
the
curiosity
that
many
of
you
have
about
the
state
of
the
state
in
relationship
to
coven,
19
and
transmission,
this
virus-
I
remind
everybody,
as
I
do
on
a
consistent
basis,
the
power
and
potency
of
your
individual
actions.
Some
total
of
those
actions
will
determine
the
fate
and
future
of
covet
19
here,
not
only
in
the
state
of
california
but
impact
the
rest
of
this
nation
as
well.
B
I
want
to
thank
the
millions
of
californians
that
have
really
stepped
up
and
have
taken
serious
responsibility
to
meet
this
moment
and
demonstrably
example
that,
through
the
substance
and
symbolism
of
wearing
a
face
covering
not
only
protect
themselves,
protect
their
loved
ones,
I
want
to
thank
to
all
the
businesses
out
there
that
are
operating
under
deeply
constrained
and
challenging
environments
without
all
the
modifications
that
you're
now
accountable
and
responsible
for
putting
in
place.
Thank
you
for
keeping
the
faith
and,
if
you've
lost
the
faith.
B
Let
me
just
encourage
you
to
keep
the
faith
as
a
small
business
person.
Before
I
got
into
politics.
I
have
deep
reverence
for
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
the
entrepreneurs
that
put
everything
on
the
line
not
just
to
make
a
buck
but
to
live
a
dream,
and
so
know
that
I
you're
you
know
you're
close
to
my
heart
and
I
don't
take
any
of
these
decisions
lightly,
as
it
relates
to
the
impact
that
we
are
having
with
these
modifications
on
your
future
and
your
family's
future.
B
And
so
I
cannot
encourage
people
more
when
they
are
personally
taking
the
kind
of
responsibility
not
to
mix
with
strangers,
not
to
go
into
large
crowds
not
to
run
into
a
backyard
with
extended
family
members.
They
haven't
seen
in
a
while
and
drop
their
guard
that
we
have
in
mind
reopening
of
our
schools.
B
We
have
in
mind
our
entrepreneurs
and
reopening
parts
of
the
economy
and
and
continuing
to
consider
the
common
wealth,
many
parts,
one
body,
and
so
in
that
spirit,
let
me
thank
all
of
you
for
the
spirit
of
cooperation,
collaboration
and
the
extraordinary
work
that
you
have
done
and
the
incredible
work
we
have
inside
of
us
to
manifest
in
the
next
days
and
critical
weeks
ahead.
Take
care.
Everybody.
