A
B
Coronavirus
good
afternoon,
it's
nice
to
be
back
with
you
today.
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
because
many
people
have
been
asking
what
is
the
california
coveted
story?
What
has
been
our
plan
from
those
early
days
to
through
reopening
to
where
we
are
now
and
in
order
to
do
that,
I
wanted
to
start
with
a
brief
powerpoint
presentation:
walk
through
series
of
slides
to
explain
that
story
in
the
clearest
way.
B
So
my
12
year
old
daughter,
kana
who's,
an
avid
reader,
often
flips
to
the
last
chapter
of
a
book,
to
see
what
it's
like,
how
it
ends
and
she
does
that
in
order
to
decide
if
she
wants
to
read
the
entire
book,
I
think
a
terrible
habit,
but
it
works
for
her.
B
The
california
story
with
kovid
has
not
yet
been
fully
written,
so
she
couldn't
do
that
here,
we're
really
at
the
beginning,
and
we
are
so
far
proud
of
our
collective
work,
but
we're
in
this
for
the
long
run,
not
just
the
first
few
months
but
we're
in
it
till
the
end.
The
governor
often
says:
let's
not
just
run
the
90
yard
dash.
We
have
to
get
all
100
yards
and
we
are
committed
to
that
and
we're
confident
in
our
approach.
B
We
were
the
first
in
the
nation
to
issue
a
stay-at-home
order
back
in
march.
The
work
that
we
had
in
the
months
before
that
of
working
on
repatriation
flights
and
looking
at
how
we
can
protect
our
seniors
and
our
most
vulnerable
to
those
early
schools
closures
that
came
county
by
county
to
that
day.
B
That's
not
just
the
hospital
beds
that
the
governor
has
talked
about
eloquently,
but
also
our
ppe
and
a
number
of
other
things
to
make
sure
that
we
can
handle
cases
as
we
begin
to
reopen,
and
we
did
that
all
so.
We
didn't
see
just
a
single
surge,
but
that
we
were
able
a
single
high
surge,
but
that
we
were
able
to
keep
a
control
on
our
level
of
transmission
and
that
it
stayed
below
the
capacity
in
our
hospitals.
B
B
We've
described
it,
it's
not
a
light
switch
that
goes
on
and
off.
It's
a
dimmer
switch
and
I
like
to
say
the
governor's
finger
is
on
the
dimmer
switch,
we're
prepared
to
toggle
back
and
forth,
making
the
necessary
modifications
based
on
the
data
that
we
see
so
that
if
we
need
to
have
more
closures
at
one
time
and
we
can
change
them
in
the
future,
we're
prepared
to
do
that
all
to
avoid
that
large
surge.
I
just
got
done
explaining
and,
yes,
we
believe
the
planning
has
paid
off.
B
B
This
slide
shows
what
you've
seen
before,
just
in
a
little
bit
of
a
different
form:
stable
hospitalization,
stable
icu
levels
over
courses
of
weeks
and
months.
We
started
our
reopening
in
late
april,
where
we
announced
earlier
the
governor
announced
the
resumption
of
some
of
the
elective
procedures
or
scheduled
procedures
in
some
of
our
hospitals
and
clinical
settings.
B
We
saw
that
as
an
important
first
step
to
get
the
health
care
needs
of
millions
of
californians
that
had
been
deferred
taken
care
of,
because
our
story
has
never
only
been
just
about
covid.
It's
been
about
balancing
health
in
a
broader
sense.
On
may
8th,
we
announced
the
county
variance
process
in
many
counties.
First,
smaller
more
rural
counties
applied
for
the
variants
and
then
over
the
course
of
weeks.
B
B
The
overall
health
and
well-being
of
californians
will
always
guide
our
decisions.
It's
where
the
governor
starts
and
where
he
ends
the
interest
of
all
californians,
not
just
in
the
north
or
the
south,
or
the
you
know,
along
the
coast
or
inland,
but
all
of
us
together,
marching
forward
as
40
million
strong
up
and
down
together.
B
Our
contact
tracing
program
is
up
and
running
we're
working
closely
with
our
local
partners.
Our
local
public
health
partners
who've
been
doing
contact
racing
for
decades
around
different
communicable
diseases
that
we
need
to
continue
to
scale
it
up
and
scale
it
up.
Even
despite
the
fact
that
redu
high
levels
of
transmission
have
made
sort
of
traditional
contact,
tracing
impractical
and
difficult
to
do.
B
We
acknowledge
clearly
that,
unfortunately,
our
reopening
has
been
treated
as
a
green
light
to
many
to
resume
normal
life.
I
think
many
of
us
recognize
that
we
as
we
have
coveted
19
with
us.
We
will
be
living
a
different
sort
of
reality
in
life
that
things
like
masks
and
physical
distancing
will
be
important
parts
of
sort
of
our
own
personal
responsibility
in
responding
to
covet
19.
B
B
I
I
always
have
the
privilege
of
talking
to
many
of
the
reporters
on
the
zoom
and
many
folks
across
california
asking.
Are
we
depending
too
much
on
californians
to
do
to
get
us
through
this,
and
my
response
is
we
can't
depend
too
much
on
our
number
one
asset,
the
people
of
california,
to
not
just
do
the
right
thing,
but
together
to
do
the
right
thing
to
bring
this
transmission
rate
down
and
to
get
to
a
place
where
we
can
not
just
reopen
certain
sectors
that
have
been
closed
again,
but
to
avoid
re-closure
in
the
future.
B
We
will
always
take
a
broader
public
health
view
we
always
have.
We
always
will-
and
this
means
not
only
looking
at
the
impact
of
covet
covid19
itself,
but
other
factors
that
impact
our
communities,
health
and
well-being.
We've
talked
with
our
surgeon
general
months
ago
about
mental
health
and
particularly
among
young
people.
We
know
that
there
are
consequences
on
our
economy
that
are
grave
and
that
we
need
to
take
all
of
these
things
into
account
as
we
consider
our
path
forward
and
writing
the
next
chapter.
B
I
know
they
seem
simple.
They
often
aren't
they're
hard
to
do
consistently,
but
this
is
exactly
what
we
need
to
do
consistently
again.
We
talk
about
the
science
and
the
evidence.
I
want
to
just
end
with
a
brief
story
or
a
explanation
of
what
we
saw
recently
put
out
by
the
cdc
a
couple
of
frontline
workers
who
wore
masks
religiously
working
with
patrons
almost
over
130
different
patrons
they
wore
mass
despite
being
coveted,
positive
and
symptomatic,
and
they
themselves
were
masks
at
all
times.
B
Their
patrons
were
mass
at
all
times
and
as
this
midwestern
state
looked
at,
you
know
many
dozens
of
those
who
were
exposed.
They
didn't
find
a
single
case
of
covid19
those
same
two
workers
when
they
went
home.
They
took
off
their
mass,
they
interacted
with
their
families
and
four
of
their
family
members
became
covid19
positive.
B
I
think
it's
a
proof
point
that
some
of
the
messaging
and
importance
of
mass
need
to
continue
to
be
sort
of
put
out
there
and
explain
to
a
number
of
folks
so
that
we
can,
as
a
state
increase
our
use
of
mass,
make
sure
that
we
remain
physically
distanced
and
do
what
we
can
to
to
contribute
to
our
effort
so
that,
as
we
have
that
finger
on
the
dimmer
that,
despite
some
dimming
over
the
last
many
weeks
as
we
look
forward
to
the
day
and
will
only
do
it
when
we're
totally
prepared
for
it
that
we
raise
up
that
dimmer
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
need
to
take
those
areas
of
personal
accountability
and
responsibility
serious.
B
C
B
B
You
know
the
governor
created
an
opportunity
for
elementary
schools
to
get
back
to
on
campus
in
person
learning
sooner,
and
we
know
that,
as
as
teachers
interact
with
students
that
creating
curricula
that
are
engaging
and
create
an
opportunity
for
kids
to
feel
as
focused
as
possible,
that
that
increases
our
chances
to
close
some
of
those
educational
gaps
that
come
with
the
loss
of
in-person
learning.
B
I
know
for
my
own
kids
over
the
course
of
weeks
and
months
experiencing
it,
that
there
were
increasing
opportunities
to
engage
so
as
we
at
the
state
level
work
with
our
education
partners,
our
public
health
partners
and
our
pediatric
partners,
my
colleagues
across
the
state
to
discover
new
tools
to
be
able
to
increase
the
impact,
the
effectiveness
of
distance
learning.
While
we
know
many
districts
are
going
to
start
that
way.
But
it
also
underscores
the
focus
on
working
all
together,
40
million
strong
to
try
to
get
transmission
down.
B
So
our
counties
can
get
off
the
county
monitoring
list
and
we
can
give
districts
a
chance
to
reopen
some
degree
of
in-person
learning.
So
we're
not
debating
the
differences
between
distance
learning
and
in-person
learning
for
too
much
longer.
But
many
of
our
youngest
students,
where
we
know
that
in-person
presence
is
very
critical,
not
just
for
the
learning
piece
but
for
the
development
piece
can
happen
sooner
and
in
a
deeper
way.
F
Hey
dr
galley,
so
I
have
a
question
about
contact
tracing
and
so
we've
heard
about
the
counties
not
having
the
capacity
to
notify
all
potentially
exposed
context
of
infecting
people.
So
then
they
rely
on
people
to
rely
or
to
reach
out
to
their
own
contacts.
I'm
wondering
what
you
think
about
this.
I
mean
it
doesn't
sound
like
it
meets
the
state
requirements
for
contact
tracing
and
if
you
can
go
over
again
how
the
state
is
helping
those
counties
that
need
more
more
help
with
contact
training.
B
B
That
said
at
the
level
of
transmission
that
we're
seeing
across
the
state,
even
a
very,
very
robust
contact
tracing
program
in
every
single
county
will
have
a
hard
time
reaching
out
to
every
single
case,
and
we
think
that,
as
we
build
up
the
capacity
county
by
county
of
contact
tracing
that
there
are
going
to
be
some
novel
and
important
approaches
to
reach
out
to
contacts
and
if
individuals
themselves,
who
have
been
identified
as
covet
positive,
can
make
that
initial
reach
out
and
have
it
be
impactful
and
delivered.
B
B
It
really
is
about
supported
isolation,
making
sure
that
people
recognize
that
their
exposure
or
their
positive
test
means
that
they
might
infect
others
and
that
by
doing
certain
things
like
staying
home
because
you're,
sick
or
staying
quarantined
because
you've
been
exposed,
we
can
make
a
big
difference.
So
we
want
every
effective
messenger
to
talk
to
a
contact
to
get
that
person
to
do
as
much
of
a
quarantine
as
possible,
because
that's
how
we
box
the
disease
in
that's
how
we
make
sure
the
next
infection
doesn't
happen
on
what
the
state
is
doing.
B
We've
trained
thousands
of
state
staff
ready
to
be
deployed
into
counties.
We
are
working
with
the
counties
to
organize
the
information,
not
just
on
which
cases
that
they're
looking
into,
but
also
the
number
of
contacts
that
are
being
reached
and
as
more
and
more
counties
come
onto
that
database.
We
have
better
intelligence
into
what's
happening
with
those
contacts.
B
So
we're
we're
working
patiently
with
the
counties
trying
to
increase
their
ability
to
accept
the
the
the
new
contact
tracing
staff
from
the
state,
but
also
doing
it
in
a
way
that
works
for
their
communities,
and
you
may
have
seen
some
counties
are
doing.
What
I
think
is
a
wise
and
important
thing
at
this
moment
is
not
just
trying
to
contact
trace
every
single
case
when
that's
not
realistic.
Given
the
number
of
cases
we
have
today
and
the
number
of
workers
or
staff
working
on
contact
racing,
but
being
pretty
targeted.
B
Looking
at
places
like
some
of
the
essential
workplaces,
the
larger
factories
and
businesses
that
might
have
cases
that
need
to
be
traced
and
understood
what
the
transmission
pattern
is
to
reduce
it
as
quickly
as
possible.
The
effort
that
the
state
discussed
the
governor
described
late
last
week
around
the
focus
of
the
state's
contact
racing
efforts
and
our
disease
investigation
efforts
to
support
counties
with
school-based
cases,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
not
only
do
we
get
to
cases
early,
but
that
we
make
sure
that
they
don't
spread
so
the
k.
B
The
state's
effort
is,
I
think,
in
many
ways
there
to
support
the
counties
and
to
be
supportive
in
this
time
when
we're
targeting
our
approach.
G
Hi,
dr
galli,
I
have
a
question
about
school,
so
I
wonder
you
know
what
specific
health
information
and
data.
G
At
when
it
determines
that
elementary
schools,
but
not
high,
schools
could
potentially
be
eligible.
G
And
then
we
know
that
at
least
in
l.a
county
there
are
a
couple
daycares
that
are
opening,
for
you
know
in-person
daycare
within
the
traditional
like
public
school
campus.
So
what's
the
difference
in
terms
of
the
health
risks
for
kobit,
you
know
at
daycares
and
child
care
facilities
versus
you
know,
in-person
instruction
for
school.
Why
is
one
allowed
and
not
the
other.
B
Sure,
thanks
for
the
question
kathleen
overall,
the
decision
of
the
state
to
allow
the
waiver
for
elementary
school
was
based
in,
and
some
of
you
may
have
seen
the
large,
a
very
large
study
that
just
came
out
a
few
days
ago
out
of
south
korea
that
looked
at
transmission
among
young
people,
and
it
showed
that
the
youngest
kids
don't
transmit
the
disease,
aren't
vectors
of
covid19
in
the
same
way
that
adults
are
and
that
older
students,
older
young
people,
middle
school
and
above
actually
transmit
not
dissimilar,
in
some
cases,
to
adults
to
get
sort
of
deeper
into
the
basic
science.
B
There
are
some.
There
are
some
markers
on
our
cells
that
increase
and
develop
over
time
and
those
become
portals
to
covet
19,
and
so
younger
kids
don't
have
as
many
of
those
markers
on
themselves
and
are
thought
to
not
necessarily
get
the
same
level
of
infection
that
older
kids
get,
and
so
that
means
that
maybe
they
don't
shed
as
much
of
the
virus
when
they
do
get
it
and
maybe
that's
what
protects
them
in
some
ways.
B
There's
other
theories
that
the
size
of
children
and
how
they
breathe
and
and
and
other
elements
play
into
why
they
might
not
be
as
significant
vectors
and
so
the
balance
between
what
we've
said
all
along
that.
We
only
want
to
do
on
campus
learning
when
it's
safe,
not
just
for
the
students,
but
importantly
for
our
teachers
and
other
staff.
B
We
felt
that
be
determined
by
the
school
superintendents
or
principals
in
the
case
of
private
schools,
along
with
their
public
health
leaders
at
the
local
level
that
there
could
be
a
way
for
the
youngest
students
elementary
school
students
to
return
to
on-campus
learning
earlier
than
the
older
students.
For
the
exact
reasons
I
said,
based
on
your
your
question
about
school-based
child
care,
centers
there's
no
requirement
that
they
open
just
like
many
other
child
care.
B
Centers,
there's
an
opportunity
for
those
to
open
up
now
in
advance,
even
of
some
of
the
larger
school
settings
opening
up,
and
so
with
the
permission
and
ability
to
do
that.
We
know
some
child
care.
Centers
are
going
to
elect
to
open
up
now
and
so
long
that
it's
done
according
to
the
guidance
that
we've
had
out
for
many
months
now
for
other
non-school-based
child
care
centers.
B
I
Yeah
thanks
dr
dally.
Copa19
is
spreading
in
large
workplaces
such
as
food.
E
I
Garment
factories-
and
we
know
that's
nothing
new,
but
the
numbers
have
especially
jumped
in
the
last
two
weeks
in
l.a
county
and
although
many
of
these
businesses
are
deemed
essential
businesses,
what
can
be
done
to
stop
the
spread
at
these
indoor
factories
when
workers
are
on
top
of
each
other?
And
do
you
believe
that
some
of
these
businesses
should
be
shut
down,
even
though
they
are
essential
at
this
time?.
B
Certainly,
I
think,
there's
a
number
of
things
to
answer.
The
first
part
of
your
question.
First,
there's
a
number
of
things
that
have
been
laid
out
in
our
guidance
on
how
we
can
reduce
transmission,
even
in
some
of
the
larger
workplaces.
I
think
it
starts
with
the
basic
stuff
we've
talked
about.
You
know,
wearing
matte,
face
coverings
as
much
as
possible,
ensuring
that
we
can
physically
distance
even
at
work,
making
sure
that
we
have
enough
hand
washing
stations
and
the
bathrooms
are
routinely
cleaned.
B
B
I
think
one
of
the
hardest
and
most
important
challenges
is
that
physical
spacing
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
work-
and
I
know
our
labor
agency
cal,
osha,
a
number
of
others
are
hand-in-hand
working
with
some
of
the
largest
factories
and
businesses
to
make
sure
that
that
space
is
available
so
that
we
can
reduce
transmission.
B
Furthermore,
I
think
it's
a
very
important
part
of
our
strategy
to
not
just
focus
on
transmission
in
the
workplace,
but,
as
I
explained
in
the
mask
example,
at
the
end
of
my
presentation,
it's
not
just
what
we
do
when
we're
at
work,
but
it's
what
we
do
when
we
get
home
and
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
households,
those
people
who
might
become
asymptomatic
vectors
in
another
setting?
So
it
just
doesn't
end
at
work.
B
It
carries
forward
as
well
to
your
last
question
about
whether
some
should
be
closed
down
or
not.
I
think
we
have
a
enforcement
arm.
We
have
an
approach
where
we
start
with
compliance
assistance,
the
ta,
the
technical
assistance
guidance
that
we've
been
putting
out,
but
for
reports
of
non-compliance
and
an
unwillingness
to
change.
D
J
All
right,
dr
galley,
I'd
like
to
follow
up
on
your
answer
to
honest
question
about
contact
tracing
if
counties
are
having
trouble
assimilating
these
state
contacts
tracers
into
their
workforces
and
as
a
result,
most
counties
or
many
counties
are
not
able
to
do
the
level
of
contact
tracing,
that's
recommended
by
public
health
experts
in
the
cdc
should
they
be,
should
the
state
be
having
them
shut
down
further
or
what's
the
what's
your
justification
for
allowing
them
to
continue
to
be
open
at
the
level
that
they
are,
even
though
they're
not
able
to
do
the
context
tracing
that's
recommended.
B
Well,
I
think,
that's
part
of
the
reason
why
we
have
used
our
dimmer
switch
right.
We
have
it's
this
balance
between
continuing
to
build
up
our
contact
tracing
infrastructure.
While
we
bring
down
the
transmission
rates
through
things
like
our
dimmer
actions.
So
we
continue
to
watch
the
data
very
closely
and
if
we
need
to
do
even
more
with
our
strategies
of
closing,
you
know
changing
and
modifying
further
and
maybe
even
considering
other
closures.
B
So
we
at
this
moment,
are
continuing
to
watch
the
data
and
may
need
to
come
to
a
point
where
we
do
more
on
that
front.
But
at
the
moment,
as
we
watch
the
data
over
the
past
week,
certainly
as
it
as
it
begins
not
to
stabilize,
but
we
don't
see
the
same
double
digit
or.
D
B
We
continue
to
expect
transmission
to
come
down
with
some
of
the
dimming
actions
that
we
made
over
the
past
few
weeks,
which
will
allow
this
contact
tracing
program
that
is
growing
to
you
know,
hit
a
space
where
we
can
contact
trace
more
of
those
cases
and
keep
the
economy
going
at
the
level
that
it's
at.
But
I
will
underscore
that
if
the
data
trends
turn
to
such
a
place,
where
we
aren't
confident,
we
will
get
there,
there
will
be
potential
for
further
dimming
in
parts
of
the
state.
Certainly
those
counties
that
we're
monitoring
closely.
E
H
Congratulations,
dr
galley,
with
the
school
systems
looking
as
though
they're
probably
going
to
be
distance
learning,
at
least
through
the
first
part
of
next
year,
barn,
of
course,
the
efforts
on
vaccines
and,
of
course,
other
things
that
are
going
along
lgbtqius
who
are
heavily
dependent
on
school
settings
and
school
environments
through
their
gsas
or
through
peer-to-peer
or
through
their
contact
with
school
staff
councils,
etc.
Often
times
they're
coming
from
non-affirming
places
and
are
a
greater
mental
health
risk.
H
So
the
first
part
of
my
question
is:
does
your
department
intend
to
help
shore
up
efforts
in
that
regard
across
the
state
of
california,
particularly
in
school
districts
that
have
identified
that
as
a
sorts
of
issue,
either
by
implementing
further
funding
or
offer
some
other
means
of
highly
visible
support?
The
second
part
of
my
question-
and
I
don't
want
to
be
getting
you
know,
being
accused
of
being
at
that
subject
here,
I've
spoken
to
your
office,
dr
angel.
I
spoke
to
la
county
authorities,
including
dr
pereira.
H
B
Sure
thank
you
for
the
questions
and
and
always
happy
to
provide
additional
clarification
to
questions
that
were
asked
before
this
is
a
rapidly
evolving
response,
and
so
a
question
from
a
month
ago,
asked
again
is
totally
appropriate.
So
thank
you.
On
the
first
question,
absolutely
as
we
look
at
distance
learning
for
a
number
of
different
groups
and
populations,
we
have
to
be
attentive
to
needs
of
young
people
that
go
beyond
just
classroom
learning
those
social
psychosocial
supports
are
important
working
with
our
behavioral
health
partners
at
the
county
level
across
the
health
system.
B
I
think,
is
very
important.
Making
sure
that
school-based
social
work
and
other
supportive
entities
are
buttressed
and
strengthened
and
available
to
students
in
a
distanced.
Virtual
way
is
going
to
be
key,
and
I
think
we've
seen
a
number
of
steps
taken
to
evolve,
distance
learning
and
distance
support,
and
you
raise
a
very
important
area
of
focus
that
we
have
and
will
continue
to
build
on
when
it
comes
to
the
data
we've
done
quite
a
bit.
It's
it's!
It's
a
heavy,
lift!
It's
hard
work
to
get
so
much
of
the
state
to
change
its
reporting
practice.
B
We've
done
quite
a
bit
to
make
that
happen
on
a
number
of
data
elements,
and
although
we
don't
have
it
quite
yet
we're
working
towards
a
time
when
not
just
for
covet
19,
but
for
many
many
different
communicable
diseases
that
we
see
transmission
patterns
at
you
know
at
the
level
of
various
groups.
So
I
will
say
that
it
continues
to
be
a
work
in
progress.
B
K
Hi,
I'm
just
a
little
bit
of
an
earlier
question
on
contract
tracing.
So
forgive
me
if
I
repeat
something,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
you
about
la
county:
it's
in
the
process
of
boosting
its
contact
tracing
force
to
2500
people.
Do
you
think
that's
enough
for
an
area
with
about
10
million
residents
where
kobe's
records
are
being
set
practically
daily
and
then
also
you
spoke
about
the
difficulties
of
doing
effective
contract
tracing
of
the
current
levels
of
transmission?
K
Do
you
think
more
robust
contact,
tracing
efforts
earlier
on
might
have
helped
california
avoid
research,
and
can
we
get
updated
numbers
on
how
many
state
workers
have
been
trained
and
given
assignments
with
the
sacramento
key
reporting?
That
is
last
week
only
about
a
third
of
the
3
600
workers
trained
had
been
assigned?
Why
is
that
taking
so
long?
Thank
you.
B
B
Investigators-
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment-
we
often
focus
on
the
contact
tracers.
But
I
think
many
public
health
leaders
recognize
that
you
need
a
number
of
disease
investigators
who
start
and
initially
look
at
the
case,
try
to
understand
where
the
spread
might
have
come
from
where
it
might
have
led
to.
And
then
you
involve
your
contact
tracers
to
go
out
and
talk
to
contacts.
B
Work
on
the
messaging
make
sure
we're
following
up
on
isolation
and
quarantine
and
together
those
two
workforces
must
work
hand
in
hand
to
manage
the
caseload
and
I'm
confident
that
la
will
continue
to
grow
its
workforce
and
the
state
stands
ready
to
augment
further
as
necessary
to
make
sure
that
as
we
hit
that
point
of
equilibrium
where
cases
have
come
down
and
our
contact
tracing
efforts
have
gone
up,
that
we
will
be
able
to
meet
that
soon.
B
On
your
question
regarding
the
level
the
number
of
individuals
from
the
state
that
have
been
deployed,
certainly,
we
have
a
number
that
are
ready
and
deployable
that
we're
working
with
our
counties
to
get
into
their
contact
racing
and
disease
investigation
teams,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that
until
either
were
out
of
the
number
of
staff
that
we
could
deploy
or
the
me
the
need
is
met
at
the
local
level.
B
We've
always
talked
about
a
phase
one
with
contact
tracing
we've
met
that
goal.
We
have,
together
with
our
county
in
the
state,
exceeded
over
10
000
people
ready
to
do
the
work
and,
as
we
work
with
the
counties,
to
adjust
and
be
able
to
have
them
deployed
to
do
that.
Work.
We're
looking
forward
down
the
road
to
beginning
that
phase,
two
of
our
contact
tracing
program
and
having
even
more
workers
both
on
the
disease
investigation
side,
as
well
as
the
contact
tracing
side,
ready
to
be
deployed
and
support
counties.
B
We
cut
the
lanes
of
transmission
down
and,
as
we
look
forward
rather
than
just
backwards,
we
expect
to
be
able
to
have
a
number
of
people
who
can
support
our
neighbors,
our
communities
to
do
what
I
think
is
increasingly
important,
which
is
when
you're
sick,
when
you're
exposed
find
a
way.
While
you
maintain
taking
care
of
your
family
and
supporting
your
community
to
be
isolated
in
a
way.
So
we
don't
have
increased
transmission
throughout
the
city.
C
Thanks
dr
galey
two
quick
things,
it
looks
like
the
number
of
cases
in
california.
The
total
number
is
going
to
pass
new
york's
total
number
of
cases
in
the
next
couple
of
days.
First,
I'm
wondering
what
you
think.
The
significance
of
that
is
for
california
to
be
the
number
one
state
in
the
country
in
terms
of
cases
and,
second,
as
you
know,
governor
newsom
ratcheted
back
some
of
the
rules
and
businesses
last
week.
B
Yeah
so
relative
to
exceeding
400
000
cases
in
california
and
just
the
the
size
of
the
state,
I
mean
we're
the
we're
the
largest
state
in
the
nation.
We
have
a
north
south
sort
of
geography
that
goes
well
beyond
vermont
to
virginia
were
not
just
the
largest
in
landmass,
but
the
most
populous.
B
So,
although
it
is
not
unexpected,
you
know
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
make
sure
that
we
control
the
rate
of
spread
and,
despite
crossing
400
000
cases
in
california
soon.
I
think
we
all
look
at
our
initial
strategy
of
trying
to
be
prepared
for
a
number
of
days,
with
high
number
of
cases
in
ensuring
that
we
have
the
surge
capacity
in
our
hospital
system
and
all
of
the
factors
to
be
able
to
protect
our
communities
in
place.
So
you
know
I
don't
myself
overread
into
the
significance
of
that
number.
B
I
look
at
every
day
as
an
opportunity
to
do
more
and
do
better
with
our
response
to
covet
19.
and
at
the
end.
I
really
expect
and
hope
that
california
is
going
to
be
the
state
that
adapted
the
most
to
learn
the
most
prepared
the
best
and
that
we
are
going
to
really
reduce
its
impact,
not
just
of
covet
19
but
overall
on
public
health.
B
While
we
try
to
keep
california
going
in
terms
of
when
we
might
see
the
impact
of
the
dimming
actions
over
the
last
couple
weeks,
we've
learned
that
that
two
to
three
week
period
may
not
be
long
enough.
We
may
it
may
take
up
to
three
four,
even
five
weeks
to
feel
the
full
impact
of
some
of
those
changes
that
you've
seen
in
the
past
couple
of
weeks
and
we
hope
to
be
able
to
report,
as
we
see
some
stabilization
in
numbers
that
will
tie
it
to
the
impact
of
the
mat.
B
The
the
universal
or
statewide
face,
covering
directive
order
from
the
governor
back
on
june
18th.
Some
of
the
dimming
actions
that
you
saw
by
moving
things
out
indoors
outdoors
by
closing
some
things
that
couldn't
do
that
by
limiting
further
openings
across
the
state
and
really
targeting
certain
counties.
So
we
will
continue
to
look
at
that
and
in
no
way
and
the
the
governor
hasn't
and
I
won't
commit
to
a
certain
date.
I
wish
I
had
that
crystal
ball.
B
So
with
that,
I
am
grateful
for
all
of
you
to
joining
me
today
for
a
chance
to
dialogue
back
and
forth
on
some
of
these
important
questions.
I
look
forward
to
doing
more
of
it,
and
I'll
just
remind
you,
as
the
governor
does,
that
simply
wearing
a
mask
can
go
a
long
way
to
supporting
your
community,
your
family
and
all
of
us
to
get
kids
back
to
school,
to
keep
our
businesses
going
and
hopefully
looking
forward
to
a
day
where
that
new
reality
is
more
comfortable
and
settled
for
all
of
us.
