A
Well
good
afternoon,
I
just
wanted
today
update
folks
on
our
progress
around
vaccinations
and
give
you
an
update
of
where
we
believe
we
are
vis-a-vis.
What
you're
hearing
in
some
of
the
national
media
and
some
of
the
assertions
have
been
made
by
a
number
of
organizations,
individuals,
elected
officials
and
the
like,
and
give
you
a
sense
of
where
we
believe
we
are
and
how
we
can
make
sure
we
distribute
our
vaccines
and
our
protocols
an
epic
cacious
way
in
a
way
that
guarantees
your
health
and
safety.
A
Just
to
give
you
a
perspective,
california
has
formally
advanced
a
partnership
with
the
federal
government
where
one
in
five
jurisdictions,
california,
is
one
of
five
jurisdictions
in
the
united
states
have
been
doing
what
we
refer
to
internally,
as
micro
planning,
but
advanced
planning
for
vaccine
distributions.
We've
done
this
in
partnership
with
the
cdc
and
the
dod.
A
That's
been
underway
for
now
a
number
of
months
here
in
the
state
of
california.
This
formal
role,
this
formal
partnership,
as
relates
to
the
efforts
we
have
long
been
in
the
vaccination
business.
Our
experience
in
mass
vaccinations
makes
us
unique
partner
for
the
cdc
and
the
dod,
based
on
the
scale
and
scope
of
the
vaccinations
that
occur
on
an
annual
basis
here
in
typical
due
course
here
in
the
state
of
california.
Just
consider
19
million
annual
flu
shots
typically
distributed
here
in
the
state
of
california.
A
Recently
we
put
together
more
formally
a
vaccine
steering
committee.
In
fact,
in
april
the
vaccine
steering
committee
was
put
in
play
within
the
state
of
california
cdph
department
of
public
health.
We
now
have
advanced
the
logistics
task
force
working
here
at
the
office
of
emergency
service.
For
the
last
few
months,
they
have
been
coordinating
with
federal,
regional
local
partners
to
look
at
logistics
side
of
how
we
implement
and
actualize
our
vaccine
plan.
California,
today
is
launching
now
more
formally
a
scientific
safety
review,
a
work
group
of
11
individuals,
experts
in
their
field.
A
These
are
top
health
experts
that
will
independently
review
any
fda,
approved
vaccines.
Question
I
often
get
is:
are
you
going
to
take
someone's
word
for
it
as
a
we're
legs
vaccines?
Of
course
we
don't
take
anyone's
word
for
it.
We
will
do
our
own
independently
reviewed
process
with
our
world-class
experts
that
just
happen
to
live
here
in
the
state
of
california
treasure
trove
of
experts
from
ucla
ucsd,
san,
diego
from
partners
that
were
able,
with
actual
experience
in
epidemiology
from
stanford
university
people
from
uc
berkeley,
others
that
represent
county
and
state
health
offices.
A
A
Health
equity,
health
care
financing,
again
the
spectrum
of
expertise,
a
diversity
of
expertise,
as
well
as
a
geographic
diversity,
and
when
we
talk
by
the
way
of
health
equity,
that's
a
frame
of
cultural
competency.
That's
a
big
part
of
our
commitment
here
in
the
state
of
california.
The
proper
distribution
of
resources,
particularly
as
relates
to
vaccines
and
focusing
on
immunizations.
A
So
that's
broad,
strokes
of
the
group
that
we're
formally
convening
here
in
the
state
we're
very
proud
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
by
dr
galli
and
his
team
to
identify
these
experts
and
these
experts
again,
we'll
independently
review
and
monitor
any
vaccine
trials,
to
guarantee
the
safety
to
guarantee
the
equity
and
to
guarantee
the
transparency
of
the
distribution
of
our
vaccines
for
just
full
disclosure.
The
transparency
was
put
forward
through
guiding
principles
that
we
put
out
and
a
document,
a
vaccine
plan
that
we
submitted
to
the
cdc
last
week.
A
In
return
for
submitting
the
vaccine
plan,
the
state
was
afforded
some
28.86
million
dollars
of
federal
support
that
we
will
utilize
with
our
partners
here
throughout
california,
meaning
that
28
almost
29
million
dollars
will
go
to
support
our
efforts.
At
the
state
level,
and
also
support
local
efforts
in
terms
of
advancing
our
vaccine
planning
efforts.
A
A
A
A
The
bottom
line,
though,
with
any
appropriate
vaccination
plan,
is
addressing
some
of
the
logistical
challenges
that
we've
come
to
long
recognize,
as
relates
to
the
challenges
that
have
been
imposed
around
covet,
19
and
transmission.
From
the
beginning,
we
had
ppe
issues
associated
with
testing
and
contact
tracing
no
different,
as
it
relates
to
a
vaccine
plan
sort
of
getting
under
the
hood
and
really
looking
at
where
the
challenges
may
lie.
Let's
start
with
supplies
related
to
the
distribution
right
now
that
supply
identified,
apply,
needs
include
needles
and
syringes.
A
Alcohol,
pads,
bandages,
masks,
ppe
related
to
the
distribution
and
the
the
application
of
the
vaccine
itself.
Just
put
it
in
perspective
with
h1n1,
you
didn't
necessarily
have
the
same
asymptomatic
issues
that
you
will
have
as
it
relates
to
covid.
As
a
consequence,
many
people
may
be
asymptomatic
and
will
need
to
protect
those
that
are
distributing
these
vaccines
with
the
appropriate
masks
and
face
coverings
with
the
appropriate
ppe.
It
adds.
Another
layer
of
challenges
relates
to
challenges.
The
issue
of
storage
requirements.
A
I
mentioned
storage
a
moment
ago,
related
to
pfizer
and
moderna,
both
pfizer
and
moderna,
that
are
talking
about
x,
number
of
millions
of
available
vaccines
for
the
united
states
in
total
and
by
the
way,
our
internal
documents.
Just
to
give
you
a
perspective,
and
this
is
full
transparency
and
by
no
means
I
don't
want
people
to
run
with
this
number,
but
for
planning
purposes
we
were
provided
an
estimate.
This
was
just
an
estimate.
A
This
is
the
high
end
just
to
put
in
perspective
the
high
end
estimate
for
planning
purposes
for
vaccination,
a
vaccination
b,
both
pfizer
and
moderna
the
cumulative.
The
total
number
of
vaccinations
for
the
nation
for
planning
purposes
on
the
high
end
through
the
end
of
the
calendar
year,
was
about
45
million
note
that
each
vaccination
needs
to
be
used.
Rather,
each
distribution
of
vaccination
has
to
occur
in
a
21
day
period.
A
You
have
to
actually
have
two
shots,
not
one
so
from
a
logistics
perspective
from
a
storage
perspective,
a
requirement
for
notification
bringing
people
back
after
the
first
immunization
shot.
You
could
take
that
number,
45
million
cut
it
in
half
and
then
take
a
percentage
of
any
given
state,
including
the
state
of
california.
A
A
A
My
answer
to
my
own
question
is:
yes,
yes
and
yes,
it
just
simply
depends
who
you
talk
to
those
that
are
more
optimistic,
q1,
those
that
are
more
realistic
middle
of
2021,
those
that
are
on
the
spectrum
being
a
little
more
pessimistic,
are
looking
at
q3
of
2021,
but
it's
2021
for
as
they
say
you
and
me
that
will
likely
have
the
access
and
availability
with
these
protocols
and
the
vaccination
plans
that
we're
putting
out
of
a
vaccine,
and
so
I
just
want
to
put
a
sober
perspective
on
these
issues
and
these
challenges
and
try
to
bring
as
much
transparency
to
bear
that
we
have
internally,
as
is
our
want
to
make
you
aware
of
what
I
and
others
are
aware
of,
so
you
get
a
sense
of
what
we're
up
against
relates
to
challenges.
A
This
storage
is
a
challenge.
Let
me
show
you
why
you
can
see
here
our
storage
requirements,
these
vaccinations
or
vaccines
require
ultra
cold
storage
of
70
degrees
celsius
below
70
degrees
celsius.
So
requires
dry
ice.
You
can
imagine
you
remember
the
transport
media,
you
imagine.
The
swabs
were
issues
related
to
testing,
don't
think
that
dry
ice
won't
be
a
commodity
of
concern
and
consideration,
as
it
relates
to
our
vaccination
strategies,
that's
top
of
our
agenda,
cold
storage
for
other
vaccines
and
again
we
are
looking
at
two
at
the
moment
for
again
planning
purposes.
A
The
moderna
and
the
pfizer
each
require
different
storage
each
require
different
distribution
strategies.
These
are
two
examples
of
ultracold
storage
and
then
simply
cold
storage,
20
degrees
below
celsius
that
ultimately
again
require
a
unique
challenge
in
terms
of
how
you
get
them
into
urban
centers,
how
you
distribute
them
with
ultra
cold
storage
considerations
into
rural
areas
in
other
parts
of
the
state
that
are
underserved
again.
All
of
these
things
being
worked
through
with
our
respective
teams,
again
logistics
teams
and
the
team.
We
assembled
that
are
looking
at
the
efficacy
and
safety.
A
The
announcement
we
made
today
with
the
11
individuals
as
it
relates
to
getting
these
vaccines
out
people
in
a
way
where
they
know
they're
safe
and
are
not
concerned
about
their
health,
so
it
relates
to
data
management.
It's
another
big
challenge.
Good
news
is
from
an
immunization
and
vaccine
perspective.
We
have
an
existing
system
and
I
am
not
naive
about
existing
systems
in
this
state
that
cannot
handle
the
kind
of
volumes
that
kova
19
has
highlighted
abundantly
highlighted
in
the
state.
The
good
news
is,
we
do
have
a
data
management
system
called
care.
A
It's
our
california,
immunization
registry,
again
I'll
remind
you.
The
immunizations
that
we're
already
doing
are
substantial
in
this
state:
significant,
just
the
flu
again
19
plus
million
vaccinations,
the
pediatric
immunizations
that
we're
doing
they're
all
part
of
this
existing
infrastructure.
But
I
can
assure
you,
for
those
that
may
have
a
question.
Well
what
about
cal
ready
and
these
other
systems
where
we
could
purport
similar
confidence?
We
never
purported
similar
confidence
in
those
spaces.
A
We
have
a
little
more,
not
a
lot
more,
a
little
more
with
care,
but
we
also
have
a
team
of
people
proactively
as
part
of
our
work
group
on
logistics,
really
looking
at
the
efficacy
of
the
it
system
itself,
because,
obviously,
data
management
is
foundational
notifications
to
get
the
second
shot.
Privacy
considerations,
notifications
between
federal
government
and
the
state
privacy
considerations
always
in
play.
A
Obviously,
notifications
from
the
state
to
local
health
officers
and
local
jurisdictions
if
we
include
broadly
and
expand
our
points
of
access
for
the
distribution
of
these
vaccines
to
pharmacies
as
an
example
or
blood
banks
as
an
example
or
other
facilities,
federal
state
or
non-profit
non-governmental
facilities.
Obviously,
the
expansion
of
our
registry
becomes
paramount
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
is
done
with
all
of
your
health
privacy
concerns
being
addressed.
It
relates
to
the
broader
issue.
Trust
final
bullet
point
here
is
community
education
and
engagement.
A
This
vaccine
plan
will
move
at
the
speed
of
trust.
You
have
to
have
confidence
in
the
efficacy
of
the
vaccine,
confidence
that
we're
not
rushing
to
judgment
in
terms
of
its
distribution
and
its
access,
accessibility,
making
sure
again
that
we
are
a
third
set
of
eyes
or
a
second
set
of
eyes,
as
is
a
case
here.
A
So
people
not
only
know
where
they
can
get
the
vaccines
when
they
are
broadly
available
or
whether
or
not
they
can
line
up
in
queue
based
upon
again,
the
prioritization
of
distributions
high
risk
senior
populations
again,
not
just
first
responders
and
health
care
workers.
All
of
that
is
part
and
parcel
of
a
community
education,
engagement
and
outreach
strategy.
That's
also
part
of
our
vaccination
plan.
I
want
to
remind
everybody
that
vaccines
will
not
end
this
epidemic
overnight.
A
The
bottom
line
is
even
if
millions
and
millions
of
americans
millions
of
californians
get
the
vaccination,
get
that
second
shot
over
that
21
day
period
based
upon
some
of
the
earlier
vaccines
that
we
are
aware
will
be
made
available
again.
There'll
be
many
different
strategies
presenting
themselves
over
the
next
number
of
months.
These
are
the
first
few
that
we're
working
for
planning
purposes.
A
It's
not
going
to
end
this
pandemic
overnight
and
that's
why
it's
absolutely
essential
that
we
maintain
our
vigilance
and
be
reminded
that
the
most
impactful
non-pharmaceutical
intervention
that
remains
as
it
relates
to
the
issue
of
mitigating
the
spread
and
transmission
of
covet
19,
continues
to
be
wearing
a
mask
physically,
distancing,
avoiding
mixing
with
people
that
are
outside
of
your
households.
Maintaining
vigilance
as
it
relates
to
any
modification
of
our
stay-at-home
orders,
as
we
move
tier
to
tier
in
to
these
reopening
strategies
and
areas
and
industries
to
do
so
by
being
accountable.
A
All
of
us
as
consumers,
not
just
as
business
leaders
as
well
as
those
that
are
here
to
protect
and
educate
our
kids,
that
we
are
stringent
in
our
reopening
strategies
and
we
maintain
our
sanitation,
which
again
means
a
simple
thing.
It's
blue
season,
after
all,
just
washing
your
hands
and
doing
the
things
that
your
grandmother
reminded
you
of
as
you
were
raised
now.
Another
thing
that
is
critical
is
the
issue
of
testing
and
on
monday,
just
to
give
you
a
preview
next
monday
we'll
be
announcing
this
remarkable
effort.
A
I
I'm
incredibly
proud
of
this
effort.
We
announced
a
few
months
back
just
a
few
months
back
a
partnership
with
perk
and
elmer
to
develop
a
facility
here
in
the
state
of
california,
from
scratch
to
significantly
increase
our
testing
capacity
here
in
the
state
of
california.
A
time
when
you're
seeing
testing
being
pulled
back,
we
are
accelerating
our
testing
efforts
we
announced
last
week
and
we
updated
you
on
some
of
the
isolation
and
quarantine
strategies
and
the
contact
tracing
work
that
we're
doing
again,
testing
big
part
of
the
isolation
and
the
containment
of
this
disease.
A
So
next
monday
we'll
be
updating
you
on
all
of
that
progress
and
I'm
very
very
enthusiastic
about
that
update
because
of
what
it
means
to
you
and
me
and
others
in
terms
of
making
more
points
of
availability
at
a
lower
cost,
more
testing
pcr
tests
available
across
this
state,
and
that
will
only
help
in
advance
our
efforts
to
reopen
and
provide
the
quality,
supports
and
quarantine
and
isolation
and,
of
course,
treatment.
We're
not
walking
away
from
treatment.
The
state
of
california
is
abundant,
we're
the
birthplace
of
life
science
and
biotech
bioinnovation
biotherapeutics.
A
No
one
does
it
better
than
we
do
the
credible
partnerships
with
the
uc
csus,
the
work
that's
being
done
at
stanford
and
other
universities
and
the
translational
quality
of
the
research
and
development
from
federally
funded
research
institutions,
not
just
independent
and
private
institutions,
again
therapeutics,
dominantly,
therapeutics,
coming
and
emanating
out
of
this
state,
and
we
continue.
We
have
a
therapeutics
task
force
and
I
look
forward
to
updating
you
on
that
task
force
shortly.
I
don't
been
hesitant
to
want
to
over
promise
in
this
space.
A
There
are
a
few
elected
officials
that
have
been
on
the
therapeutic
side.
We've
been
a
little
more
cautious,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
highlight
you
on
some
of
those
available
therapeutics
that
are
being
tested
here
in
advanced
trials,
uniquely
and
disproportionately
in
fact
here
in
the
state
of
california.
So
all
these
approaches,
forgive
me
again
for
long-windedness.
All
of
these
approaches
are
foundational
in
terms
of
our
efforts
and
approach
to
getting
us
passed,
so
we
can
finally
turn
the
page
on
covet
19..
A
So
vaccines
are
one
part
long
pointedly
of
that
approach.
We
have
all
of
these
other
modalities
and
strategies
on
prevention,
containment
and
treatment
that
are
also
part
of
our
approach
to
getting
back
to
work,
getting
our
kids
back
into
school
and
getting
past
this
pandemic.
One
thing
I
can't
resist:
I
was
out
this
weekend.
I
went
out
and
saw
a
number
of
people
that
had
their
masks
on,
but
not
no
correct
way,
and
I
just
want
to
remind
people
when
your
nose
is
exposed.
A
It
may
be
more
comfortable,
but
it's
not
necessarily
the
right
way
of
wearing
a
mask.
I
don't
again
malign
anybody
or
begrudge
anybody
for
momentary
lapses.
We
all,
including
me,
do
and
not
having
them
on.
We
should
have
me.
All
of
that
is
part
parcel
it's
not
about
bra,
beating
anybody,
just
a
quick
reminder
that
this
is
not
the
way
to
wear
them.
A
This
is,
and
so
I
just
we
had
to
put
this
up
just
because
I
think
a
lot
of
us
are
experiencing
friends,
family
members,
perhaps
those
looking
heck
at
us
in
the
mirror
with
the
incorrect
use
and
want
to
encourage
you
with
that
correct
use.
A
Well,
speaking
of
encouraging,
let
me
give
you
an
update
on
our
case
numbers
here
in
the
state
the
seven
day
average
of
2966
individuals,
less
than
3
000,
is
encouraging
the
numbers
that
came
out
yesterday
a
little
higher
than
the
seven
day
average,
though
we
tested
over
150
000
people
as
part
of
the
cohort
to
establish
the
new
case
number
of
3474
the
seven
day
average,
though
looking
a
little
bit
better
than
we've.
Seen
in
some
time,
though,
I
want
to
caution.
A
You
and
you'll
see
some
slides
of
some
caution
about
being
overly
exuberant
or
enthusiastic
about
some
of
these
trend
lines.
Good
trend
line,
though,
continues
to
be
more
tests
on
a
daily
basis,
as
we
work
our
way
through
these
wildfires
I'll
briefly
update
you
on
those
in
a
moment
we're
getting
these
testing
facilities
back
online.
A
The
seven-day
positivity
rate
is
2.4
percent,
so
just
repeat
that
seven
day,
positivity
here
in
the
state
of
california
2.4
here's
the
slides
of
some
caution
and
consideration-
we've
been
previewing
this
now
for
a
number
of
weeks,
you
may
recall
the
hospitalization
chart
that
many
of
you
are
familiar
with.
We've
seen
decreases
over
a
14-day
period
in
double
digits
fairly
consistently
over
the
last
six
seven
eight
weeks,
you'll
see
here
just
over
the
last
14-day
period.
A
The
last
two
weeks,
just
a
four
percent
decrease
in
total
hospitalization,
so
we're
seeing
a
decline
in
the
rate
of
decline
in
hospitalizations
and
we're
getting
a
point
where,
if
you
just
extend
that
trend
that
we're
beginning
to
flatten
out
plateau
as
it
relates
to
hospitalizations
even
more
interesting
and
concerning
to
the
extent
it
is
obvious
point
of
concern
for
all
of
us
and
that's
icu
admissions
here
in
the
state
you're
seeing
commensurate
four
percent
on
hospitalization
decreased.
Just
three
percent
decrease
in
emissions
related
icus
over
a
14-day
period,
but
over
a
seven
day
period.
A
If
I
had
a
seven
day
slide,
you'd
actually
see
a
slight
increase
in
icu
emissions,
so
still
a
decrease
over
a
14
day
period,
but
boy.
What
more
of
a
reminder
do
you
need,
then?
Seeing
these
numbers
begin
to
plateau
and
not
only
plateau?
You
can
see
just
from
that
low
that
we
experience
we're
seeing
a
number
of
new
patients.
A
It's
still
dozens,
but
nonetheless
in
icus
each
and
every
icu
admission
is
precious
and
obviously
a
point
of
real
concern,
as
it
relates
to
the
importance
of
quality
care
and
timely
care
and
obvious
concern
around
mortality
and
morbidity.
So
just
point
of
caution,
and
what
more
again
do
you
need
in
this
slide
and
the
fact
that
I
think
it
was
in
don't
quote
me,
but
I
think
it
was
roughly
38
states
in
this
country
that
have
experienced
a
10
increase
over
the
last
seven
days
of
total
number
of
cases.
A
This
is
that
dreaded
third
wave
that
some
had
projected
for
california.
This
may
be
better
termed
a
second
wave,
since
we
never
experienced
that
first
wave,
like
many
did
in
the
northeast
part
of
the
united
states.
We
really
had
our
first
wave
extended
in
around
july,
but
nonetheless,
second
or
third
wave.
This
is
what
all
the
epidemiologists
the
scientists,
anyone
that
followed
any
of
our
history
and
data
from
1918
1919
spanish
flu
pandemic.
This
is
what
we
anticipate
moving
into
the
colder
season.
A
This
is
an
area
of
obvious
and
real
concern,
and
that's
why
we're
being
very
slow,
so
sober,
and
forgive
me,
stubborn
about
some
industries
in
the
state
that
I
know
are
eager
to
get
guidelines
tomorrow.
Dr
galley
will
update
you
on
some
of
those
industries
and
guidelines,
including
sports
and,
and
some
of
these
theme
parks
we're
going
to
break
up
the
theme
parks,
not
just
it's
not
just
one
or
two
brands.
It's
many
different
parts
that
are
part
of
the
theme
park
industry,
but
dr
galley
will
be
updating
you
tomorrow
on
those
guidelines.
A
Again,
I
hope
one
recognizes
our
stubbornness
on
a
health.
First
data
driven
decision
making
process
is
done
with
our
eyes
wide
open
on,
what's
happening
now
around
the
world,
not
just
what's
happening
across
the
united
states,
not
yet
here
in
the
state
of
california,
but
that's
only
because
we
are
being
vigilant
and
have
to
maintain
that
vigilant.
So
we
avoid
any
further
increase
in
transmission.
A
A
The
guidelines
related
to
covet
19..
Now
some
48
counties
out
of
that
purple
status.
27
now
in
red,
you
see
13
in
orange
and
8
counties
now
in
yellow
status,
not
just
in
northern
california,
but
also
parts
of
central
california.
There
are
parts
of
southern
california,
though
in
particular
that
remain.
We
remain
very,
very
concerned
about
dr
galley,
we'll
update
you
tomorrow,
this
new
press
conference
around
some
of
the
interventions.
A
We
hope
to
advance
in
a
number
of
different
counties,
not
dissimilar
to
interventions
that
we
advanced
in
the
central
valley
a
number
of
months
ago,
as
it
relates
to
rates
of
increase
in
just
areas
of
concern.
Those
will
be
again
reviewed
and
he
will
transmit
some
of
the
guidelines
and
recommendations
this
time
tomorrow
in
that
space.
A
Let
me
just
briefly
remind
everybody:
we
continue
to
battle
these
historic
wildfires,
we're
making
progress
on
the
spread
of
the
largest
wildfires
in
the
state,
some
4.8
million,
or
rather
4.1
million
acres,
have
burned
year
to
date
throughout
the
state
of
california.
I
think
about
3.8
million,
just
since
august
15
12
major
complexes
right
now
we're
down
74-ish
100,
firefighters,
that's
down
significantly
from
the
number
of
firefighters
working
the
lines
just
a
few
weeks
back
heroic
work,
extraordinary
work
by
cal
fire
are
mutual
aid
locally,
and
mutual
aid.
A
I
should
just
note
that
we
anticipate
those
conditions
to
return
again
later
this
week,
as
early
as
tomorrow
evening
start
to
see
some
winds
whipping
back
up
in
northern
california,
southern
central
california,
bearing
a
little
bit
better
from
the
wind
perspective,
though
that
can
change
quickly,
but
the
next
eight
days
based
upon
our
briefing
this
morning.
The
next
eight
days
are
around
around
northern
part
of
the
state
in
and
around
where
I
am
northern
north.
B
A
Where
we
are
up
into
the
border,
we
expect
temperatures
to
not
be
as
high
as
they've
been
in
the
past,
but
the
humidity
levels
just
concerning
and
the
winds
whipping
back
up
will
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
again
doubling
down
on
our
pre-positioning
strategies
and
prevention
strategies.
Just
a
brief
overview
again.
31
lives
that
have
been
lost
in
this
wildfire
season.
Almost
10
000
structures,
9
282
structures
destroyed
those
are
destroyed,
not
damaged.
A
The
damage
number
is
substantially
higher,
just
a
reminder
of
the
challenges
we
continue
to
battle,
as
it
relates
to
the
hottest
not
just
august
in
recorded
history,
but
now
the
hottest
september
in
recorded
history,
a
reminder
of
what
we
say,
often
that
climate
change
is
here,
it's
real.
It
exacerbates
it
challenges
us
it's
not
alone
exclusively.
A
The
reason
we
have
wildfires
we've
had
wildfires
historically,
but
the
ferocity
and
the
devastation
of
these
mega
fires
is
such
that
it
is
only
made
more
challenging
worse
in
the
conditions
that
mother
nature
has
provided
us
again.
She's
joined
the
climate
conversation
I'll
remind
you
what's
been
said
by
many
others
in
the
past
she
bats
last.
She
about
bats.
A
A
thousand
she's
chemistry
she's
biology
and
she
is
physics
she's,
not
a
political
point
of
view
or
an
ideology,
so
it
relates
to
a
well
objective
truth:
the
august
complex
1
million
acres,
the
largest
wildfire
in
our
state's
history.
What
more
proof
do
you
need
of
the
concerns
we
have
around
the
hots
getting
hotter
and
the
dry
is
getting
drier.
A
75
percent
contained
last
week,
we're
now
82
contained
we're,
holding
the
line
working
our
partners
u.s
forest
service
on
that
complex
and
just
a
brief
overview
of
final
creek
fire
this
in
fresno
and
madeira.
It
was
55
contained
again
forest
service
working
these
lines
as
well
333
000
acres.
Last
week,
it's
grown
a
little
bit
over
the
last
seven
days,
61
percent
contained
today,
350
000
acres,
so
they're
doing
a
wonderful
job
on
that
fire.
A
Some
areas
of
the
creek
fire
that
they're
just
allowing
to
burn
safely
burn,
but
nonetheless
containment
beginning
to
improve
on
these
two
very
large
and
what
now
have
been
termed
iconic
wildfires
here
in
the
state
of
california,
speaking
of
iconic.
Well,
we
have
a
unique
strategy
here
in
the
state
of
california
and
it's
now
being
replicated
in
other
parts
of
the
state.
Of
course,
we
took
the
cue
from
at
least
five
states
that
do
mail-in
ballots.
A
We
have
a
deadline
today,
it's
the
last
day
to
register,
to
vote,
to
receive
your
mail-in
ballot
before
election
dates,
not
last
at
a
register
vote
but
last
day
to
register
to
vote
to
receive
your
mail-in
ballot
before
election
day.
So
if
you
want
the
convenience
that
so
many
of
us
afforded
please
register,
so
we
can
send
that
mail
and
ballot
to
you.
So
you
can
get
the
opportunity,
the
privilege
to
be
an
active
citizen,
not
a
nerd
in
this
election
process,
and
so
that
is
the
update.
A
As
always,
we
end
with
this
mantra.
You're
all
familiar
with
around
the
imperative
of
wearing
masks,
physically
distancing,
minimizing,
mixing
the
extent
possible,
continuing
your
village
vigilance
and
again
expression
of
gratitude
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
the
extraordinary
work
you've
done
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
this
virus.
Over
the
last
seven,
eight
nine
weeks
preparing
us
to
enter
into
the
holiday
season,
the
winter
season
more
mixing
likely
occurring
indoors
and
allowing
us
to
prepare
and
next
week,
we'll
be
announcing.
A
D
Thank
you
governor
on
september
25th,
dr
galley
said
that
the
state
was
forecasting
a
possible
89
increase
in
hospitalizations
by
october
25th
and.
D
You
term,
as
the
decline
in
the
rate
of
decline
hospitalizations
are
down
since
dr
galley's
forecast.
I
was
just
wondering.
Why
is
that
was
the
model
wrong
or
are
people
doing
a
better
than
expected
job
of
following
virus
protocols,
and
when
it
comes
to
the
issue
of
the
vaccine
was
curious
if
the
state
will
proceed
in
the
same
way,
if
joe
biden
is
elected
president.
A
Yeah
we
will
just
on
that.
Let
me
let
me
touch
that
we
have
dr
gala
here.
You
can
answer
to
the
extraordinary
work
that
many
people
have
done
to
wear
face
coverings
and
to
abide
by
the
rules
and
regulations,
and
I
think
our
efforts
in
terms
of
testing,
isolation
and
quarantine
have
all
advanced
those
efforts
and
I'm
very
proud
of
his
work
in
that
respect
and
bending
the
proverbial
curve,
so
to
speak
in
terms
of
some
of
these
projections.
A
A
I
don't
think
this
is
any
way
shape
or
form
news
around
vaccinations,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
they're,
safe
and
they're
effective
and
that
we're
monitoring,
not
just
the
distributions
and
the
access
of
vaccines,
but
monitoring
the
aftermath
and
monitoring
people's
health
long
after
the
vaccines
are
distributed
and
applied,
and
that's
also
part
of
our
planning
and
our
protocol.
So,
no
matter
who
the
next
president
is
we're
going
to
maintain
our
vigilance.
A
We
are
going
to
do
what
california
is
well
known
to
do,
and
that
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
redundancy
and
we
maintain
our
vigilance
to
have
a
second
set
of
eyes
on
the
things
that
are
being
asserted
and
the
information
that's
being
provided.
But
with
that,
let
me
provide
you,
dr
galley,
who
will
answer
more
directly
his
projection
and
based
upon
the
current
trends.
I'm
glad
that
those
numbers
are
not
as
acute
as
one
may
have
projected.
Just
a
few
weeks
back
doctor.
B
B
We
over
the
last
week
saw
a
number
of
days
where
we
had
not
just
higher
level
of
cases
but
higher
numbers
in
our
hospitals.
Over
the
past
two
days,
we've
seen
some
decrease
in
those
numbers,
which
is,
I
think,
good
news,
and
we
continue
to
watch
these
very
closely.
So
again,
we
project
out
with
the
best
models
that
we
have
a
really
ensemble
of
different
models
from
across
the
nation
and
across
the
globe
to
help
us
forecast
where
we
might
be
30
days
from
now,
but
I
emphasize
if
the
conditions
that
we're
experiencing
now
maintain.
B
We
believe
that,
through
a
number
of
efforts,
the
ongoing
ability
to
do
testing
get
into
communities
where
we
see
increased
numbers
of
positives
and
begin
to
put
those
tools
into
place.
Testing
tracing
supportive
isolation
helps
us
not
just
reduce
the
number
of
cases
in
that
aftermath,
but
ultimately
reduce
those
number
of
hospital
beds.
I'm
grateful
for
the
work
that
we
continue
to
do
as
californians
our
hospital
partners
across
california
as
well
our
clinical
partners,
who
are
doing
great
work
with
patients
and
delivering
information
to
their
communities
in
a
trusted
way.
A
And
and
just
to
underscore
and
again
I
I
want
to
maintain
my
optimism
because
I
am
optimistic
by
nature,
but
I
also
want
to
maintain
some
trust
by
being
realistic.
This
is
the
14
day
I'll
put
the
hospitalization
slide
back
up
you'll,
see
on
the
hospitalization
slide,
a
four
percent
decrease
over
a
14
day
period.
If
I
put
up
a
seven-day
slide,
that
slide
would
show
a
positive
increase,
not
a
decrease
would
see
an
increase
of
0.7
percent.
A
The
same
would
be
true
of
icu
admissions.
Here's
a
3
percent
decrease
in
icu
emissions
over
14
day
period.
If
I
put
a
seven
day
slide,
it
would
show
an
increase
of
5.4
percent.
We've
been
traditionally
using
14
day
slides,
but
an
increase
is
still
the
case
for
icus
and
hospitalizations
over
a
seven
day
period,
even
though
we
have
a
2.4
percent
positivity
rate,
icu
admissions
and
hospitalizations
have
increased
modestly
over
that
same
seven
day
period.
A
So
again,
dr
galley,
and
these
models
they're
dynamic
by
the
way,
we're
open
source
these
models
and
we're
the
first
state
to
put
all
these
models
up
to
international
scrutiny.
And
I
remind
all
of
you,
those
open
apis
that
we
announced
a
few
months
back
very
proud
of
that
and
proud
of
the
input
that
we're
receiving
from
folks
in
their
living
rooms,
not
just
experts
that
are
providing
invaluable
insight,
as
it
relates
to
the
efficacy
of
these
models
and
the
dynamic
nature
of
these
models
based
upon
new
inputs
that
are
provided
on
a
consistent
basis.
E
Hi
governor,
I
wanted
to
ask
you
about
this.
Second
slash,
third
wave
that
you
you
know
mentioned
is
picking
up
in
a
lot
of
states
across
the
country.
California
has
not
seen
that
yet,
and
I
was
wondering
if,
in
your
efforts
to
guard
against
that,
you
would
you
are
considering
any
kind
of
quarantine
for
travelers
coming
from
those
states
that
are
seeing
really
high
caseloads
right
now.
The
way
new
york
or
hawaii
did
earlier
this
year.
Thank.
A
You
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
The
answer
is
not
yet.
We
always
maintain
an
openness
to
those
considerations,
but
no,
that's
not
part
of
our
current
planning.
We
again
are
concerned
about
what's
happening
all
across
the
united
states.
We
monitor
that
as
you
monitor
that
in
real
time
case,
numbers
again
continue
to
look
favorable
from
california's
perspective,
but
even
as
we
experienced
our
first
wave,
we
never
broke
eight
percent
positivity
over
a
14-day
period.
A
We
did
a
little
better
in
terms
of
our
first
wave,
never
again
breaking
eight
percent
positivity
over
a
14-day
period,
but
we've
had
to
be
tough
and
we've
had
to
be
vigilant,
and
we
have
to
be
mindful
of
the
changing
dynamics
of
this
pandemic,
and
so
both
external
dynamics,
as
well
as
internal
california,
only
dynamics.
All
of
those
things
will
consider
in
real
time
and
be
open
to
subsequent
considerations,
depending
on
what
conditions
persist
and
what
conditions
are
introduced
as
it
relates
to
this
next
wave
of
the
pandemic.
G
Politico
last
week,
when
some
of
these
republican
ballot
boxes
started
appearing,
you
accused
the
party
of
being
willing
to
lie,
cheat
and
threaten
our
democracy
and
said
the
ballot
boxes
were
illegal.
The
california
secretary
of
state
and
attorney
general
seem
to
have
determined
that
the
boxes
can
stay
for
now
as
they
investigate,
particularly
given
that
the
party
took
that
official
label
off
of
one
of
the
boxes.
I'm
curious
to
know
if
you
stand
by
those
those
pretty
harsh
words
and
whether
you
have
any
additional
thoughts
on
that
situation.
A
H
Hi
governor
a
big
concern
for
nursing
homes
and
long-term
care
facilities
across
the
state
when
it
comes
to
vaccine
distribution
is
cold
chain
storage.
Most
facilities
don't
have
the
capacity
to
accommodate
the
storage.
We
know
will
be
needed
for
certain
vaccines,
and
I
know
you
touched
on
this
earlier,
but
if
you
could
get
more
specific
on
how
exactly
the
kova
task
force
is
looking
into
this.
H
A
A
slide
because
I
want
to
underscore-
and
I
appreciate
your
question-
the
importance
of
this
issue
of
of
storage.
It's
an
important
point.
It's
often
not
part
of
the
conversation
as
it
relates
to
distribution
of
vaccines
is
they
need
to
be
stored
and
they
need
to
be
stored
in
an
extraordinarily
challenging
environment.
Again,
certain
vaccines
we're
working
again
to
plan
for
who
specific
vaccines.
A
This
is
vaccine,
a
the
cold
storage
requirements,
vaccine
b,
the
cold
storage
requirements,
70
degrees
below
celsius,
20
degrees
below
celsius,
both
requiring
dry
ice,
both
requiring
a
logistics
operation
that
is
very
challenging
in
the
best
of
times,
but
obviously,
as
it
relates
to
a
global
pandemic,
with
a
constraint
on
supply
with
the
challenges
based
upon
demand
are
even
more
difficult.
So
that's
exactly
why
we
put
together
our
logistics
task
force
here
at
the
office
of
emergency
services.
A
F
Hi
governor,
thank
you
for
taking
our
questions.
I
wanted
to
ask
for
a
little
more
detail
on
the
phases
of
the
vaccine
distribution
plan.
You
know
it's
divided
into
phases,
one
two
and
three
phase.
One
is
then
subdivided
into
a
and
b
first
the
healthcare
workers
and
then
to
those
with.
E
F
Who
are
at
risk
of
severe
illnesses
and
death
and
essential
workers
for
those
in
you
know
the
b
section
of
phase
one?
Should
they
be
expecting
to
get
this
vaccine
by
you
know
the
end
of
this
year?
Or
can
you
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
how
how
long
it
would
take
to
roll
this
out
to
all
of
phase
one.
A
So
the
answer
to
the
question
requires
information
that
no
one
currently
has
in
this
country.
Anyone
who
asserts
is
just
doing
that
asserting
a
point
of
view
and
it's
difficult
to
quantify
whether
or
not
they
can.
They
can
back
that
point
of
view
up
with
actual
data
and
specificity
for
the
purposes
of
our
vaccine
plan,
the
one
that
we
submitted
last
week
to
the
federal
government,
the
one
we've
been
working
more
closely
in
terms
of
the
micro
planning
efforts
is
one
of
five
jurisdictions
with
the
dod,
not
just
the
cdc.
A
A
It
doesn't
include
all
of
our
other
critical
workforce
that
will
be
prioritized.
So
when
it
comes
to
your
question
of
priority,
a
reporting
priority
b
and
I'll
go
to
this
slide
on
the
priority
b.
Being
the
high
risk
groups
again
so
you'll
get
a
sense.
Those
are
the
65
and
over
critical
workforce
in
our
long-term
care
facilities,
as
well
as
the
patients
in
our
long-term
care
facilities
right
on
the
top
of
that
list
and
those
with
disabilities
and
others.
A
It
is
unlikely
that
they
will
see
a
substantial
distribution
or
rather
have
the
availability
of
a
substantial
distribution
of
vaccines
by
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
Quite
the
contrary,
so
I
think
there's
been
look.
I
I
understand
the
the
prevailing
winds
where
people
are
pushing
optimism
because
we're
desperate
for
it
and
we're
all
longing
for
a.
When
is
this
thing
over
questioned
to
be
answered?
When
can
I
get
this
vaccine?
When
can
I
get
my
kids
back
to
school?
When
can
I
go
back
to
work?
A
A
You'll,
be
hearing
many
other
brands,
not
just
the
two
moderna
and
pfizer
rolling
out
what
they
believe
are
the
answer
to
those
questions,
and
that
is
a
sober
reality
as
it
relates
to
working
our
way
through
this.
I
completely
reject
the
lazy
science.
Almost
the
tv
punditry
as
it
relates
to
some
notion
of
hurt,
immunity
or
someone
that
happens
to
work
for
one
of
our
great
universities,
saying
you
don't
wear
masks
and
just
everybody
go
out
and
experience
the
disease,
so
we
can
get
it
over
with
that.
A
Somehow
that
is
a
solution,
and
so
I
reject
that-
and
I
think
the
vast
majority
of
us
do
and
most
of
us
are
lined
with
science
and
with
this
sober
understanding
that
we
are
going
to
be
in
2021
working
our
way.
Slogging
our
way
through
the
distribution
of
millions
and
millions
of
these
doses
of.
C
A
Correct
we
will
review
that's
why
my
advisory
committee
is
up
and
running
they'll
review.
The
assertions
they'll
make
independent
determinations
of
the
veracity
and
efficacy
of
these
immunizations
these
doses.
A
So
we
have
this
partner
parcel
of
our
protocol
and
planning
that
we
put
forward
11
members
that
task
force
we've
made
those
members
and
those
individuals,
public
and
some
of
the
finest
universities
in
this
country
are
represented
in
terms
of
the
experts
that
we
are
bringing
from
those
universities
on
to
this
safety
advisory
work
group,
and
so
it's
one
of
many
by
the
way
work
groups
that
we
have.
We
talked
in
terms
of
logistics.
We've
talked
about
some
other
work
groups
in
this
space
community
advisors
that
we'll
also
be
announcing
soon.
A
As
always,
let's
continue
to
be
vigilant,
let's
maintain
the
hard
work
and
the
past
practices
that
have
helped
us
mitigate
the
spread
of
this
disease
in
the
last
number
of
months
and
tomorrow.
Let's
look
forward
to
dr
galley's
presentation
and
update
on
tiered
status
and
some
new
guidelines
that
will
be
put
out
this
on
issues
related
to
theme,
parks
and
hopefully,
as
early
as
late
this
week.
Early
next
week
on
team
sports
and
other
guidelines
take
care.
Everybody.
