Last
month,
all
regions
effective
immediately
are
no
longer
in
the
stay
at
home
order
and
we'll
move
back
into
the
blueprint
a
blueprint.
Many
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
blueprint
we
refer
to
as
a
blueprint
for
a
safer
economy
and
we'll
talk
more
about
that.
In
just
a
moment,
you
recall
again
those
five
regions-
northern
to
southern
california,
san
joaquin
valley,
the
bay
area
and
the
greater
sacramento
regions.
B
Here
is
the
projection
of
capacity
on
february
24th
for
first
this
is
four
weeks
from
today.
We
look
again
at
capacity
looking
through
the
lens
of
a
number
of
variables,
clearly
estimated
icu
capacity,
that's
foundational
15
being
that
baseline,
but
we
also
look
at
community
transmission
rates.
Remember
I
see
you
as
a
lagging
indicator.
What's
happening
with
positivity
rates
case
rates,
community
spread
really
is
the
forecast
that
gives
us
confidence
on
where
we
will
land
in
a
number
of
weeks.
B
We
look
at
case
rates
more
broadly
defined
on
a
regional
basis,
and
clearly
we
look
at
the
proportion
that
percentage.
Dr
gally's
talked
a
lot
about
this
percentage
of
cases,
individuals
that
are
hospitalized
that
end
up
in
the
icu,
so
you
can
take
a
look
here
at
the
regions,
these
being
the
five
regions
in
the
state.
Our
projection,
statewide
is
in
the
aggregate
being
at
30.3
percent
on
the
21st
of
february
they're,
again
variables
that
are
constantly
changing.
But
these
are
the
projections
you
can
see
in
southern
california.
B
It
would
exceed
even
that
state
rate
san
joaquin
valley
a
little
bit
below
bay
area,
tiny
bit
below
greater
sacramento
northern
california.
So
the
goal
of
this
announcement
is
to
socialize
our
projections
as
well
as
illuminate
and
further
advance
and
understanding
the
deeper
understanding
of
what
today
means
and
what
it
doesn't
mean.
And
it's
in
that
respect
that
I
want
to
remind
folks
we're
not
out
of
the
woods
we're
seeing
a
flattening
of
the
curve.
Everything
that
should
be
up
is
up.
B
Everything
that
should
be
down
is
down
case
rates,
positivity
rates,
hospitalizations
icus
testing,
starting
to
go
back
up
as
well
as
vaccination
rates
in
this
state.
But
we
are
not
out
of
the
woods
I'll,
remind
people
that
blueprint
was
established
with
purple
red
orange
and
yellow
tears.
We
simplified
that
blueprint
a
number
of
months
ago.
B
But
you
can
see
the
current
status
and
all
the
commensurate
requirements,
modifications
and
restrictions
that
are
part
of
each
tier
and
I'll,
remind
everybody
if
they
want
to
learn
more
about
the
tiering
and
remind
themselves
or
just
dust
off
a
little
bit
of
understanding
of
what
red
means
versus
orange.
Go
to
the
covid19.ca.gov
website.
B
Covid19.Ca.Gov
website
purpleteer,
just
as
an
example
and
now
that
we
are
in
purple
tier
for
those
vast
majority
of
counties
means
restaurants,
can
open
for
outdoor
dining,
with
modifications
nail,
hair
salons
can
open
with
modifications
certain
youth
sports
can
resume
for
competition,
in
particular
with
again
modifications
and
considerations.
I
noted
that
tomorrow
the
update
in
those
tiers
on
those
tiers
will
be
provided
by
dr
galley
and
will
consistently
update
in
hope
and
expectation.
If
these
trend
lines
continue,
that
will
be
moving.
B
We
hope
quickly
through
tears
again
based
upon
our
behavior
individually
collectively,
based
upon
our
success
and
continuing
to
mitigate
the
growth
and
spread
of
this
virus.
Today
we
can
lay
claim
to
starting
to
see
some
real
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
as
it
relates
to
case
numbers.
You
can
see
the
27
000
number,
that's
reflected
on
over
400
000
tests
that
came
in
on
that
reporting
period.
B
403
000
tests
on
january
24th,
27
000
cases,
the
seven
day
average
now
below
that
27
000,
based
upon
the
400
plus
thousand
total
tests,
not
surprisingly,
but
the
encouraging
sign
is
that
seven
day
average
down
to
23
283
take
a
look
at
the
positivity
rate.
Now
this
is
the
14-day
positivity
rate.
Now
is
down
to
single
digits
to
9.4
percent.
It
was
substantially
higher
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
could
take
a
look
here
at
13.6
percent.
B
Two
weeks
ago,
9.4
percent
today,
the
seven
day
rate,
even
more
favorable,
again
14,
day
rate
and
9.4,
but
the
seven
day
positivity
rates
down
to
eight
percent
in
the
state,
and
I
want
to
put
this
in
perspective.
People
often
ask
or
often
overlook
how
we're
doing
vis-a-vis
other
states
in
this
respect
on
positivity
rates,
we're
faring
better
than
more
than
half
the
states
in
the
nation
florida,
and
I
compare
some
larger
states
here.
B
This
is
statewide
data,
each
region's
a
little
bit
different,
but
we
are
in
a
position
projecting
four
weeks
forward
with
a
significant
decline
in
the
case
rates,
positivity
rates
we
are
anticipating
decline,
still
more
decline
in
hospitalizations
and
more
declines
in
icus,
and
that's
why
we're
lifting
that
stay-at-home
order
effective
immediately
today,
here's
a
reminder
of
some
of
the
things
we've
done
and
some
new
information.
We
have
substantially
increased
the
number
of
staff,
federal
and
state
staff
that
we've
deployed.
B
In
the
last
few
weeks
we
had
some
stretch
goals
of
getting
a
thousand
or
last
week
we're
actually
able
to
exceed
that
over
50
175
clinical
staff
now
have
been
deployed
and
remember,
staff
often
means
icu
capacity,
which
means
we're
expanding
that
capacity.
It's
not
static,
icu
capacity.
We
can
expand
that
icu
capacity.
We've
got
these
alternative
care
sites
that
we
have
opened
up,
15
across
the
state,
more
resources,
more
equipment,
oxygen
supply
issue.
B
B
It's
just
a
reminder
of
how
important
it
is
until
we
get
vaccinated,
of
maintaining
our
vigilance,
avoiding
mixing
and
continuing
to
do
what
we
must
to
protect
ourselves
and
our
loved
ones,
and
more
broadly,
the
community
that
we
share.
Here's
good
news
as
it
relates
to
vaccines,
which
are
the
ultimate
advancement
to
addressing
substantively
those
mortality,
morbidity
rates
and,
more
broadly,
this
pandemic.
We
have
tripled
our
rate
of
administration
of
the
vaccine
and
I'll
show
you
a
chart
that
marks
the
period
of
time
and
we're
just
getting
going.
B
It
gives
you
a
sense
california,
size
of
21
states
in
america
combined.
This
is
more
like
a
large
ship.
It
takes
a
little
bit
of
time
to
shift
course,
but
when
it
shifts
courts
builds
tremendous
momentum,
that's
exactly
what
we
have
done
and
you'll
continue
to
hear
more
about
as
it
relates
to
our
vaccine.
Administration.
State
tripling
and
we
are
on
a
good
pace.
Here-
is
an
example.
B
Just
on
the
fourth,
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
we
were
doing
daily
vaccines
of
around
43
000
on
the
15th,
just
as
an
example
just
a
two-week
period,
you
get
a
sense
or
10-day
period,
131
000
back
seats.
We
want
to
see
that
substantially
increase.
We
have
some
some
medium
term
goals,
long-term
goals.
We
have
some
short-term
goals,
we'll
be
talking
more
about
those,
but
certainly
we
want
to
see
those
numbers
continue
to
increase
significantly
and
that
will
be
a
combination
of
many
many
factors,
number
of
which
we
will
discuss
here.
B
In
a
moment
you
may
recall
a
few
weeks
back.
We
talked
about
this
10
day
challenge.
The
10-day
challenge
was
really
an
opportunity
to
to
set
a
goal
that,
at
the
time,
didn't
appear
achievable,
but
in
the
process
of
pursuing
it
we
would
develop
a
greater
understanding
of
what
the
challenges
were.
What
the
issues
were
as
it
relates
to
accelerating
that
last
mile
that
last
inch,
perhaps,
but
that
last
mile
in
particular
as
it
relates
to
administration
of
vaccines
over
the
course
of
that
period
of
time,
we
recognize
the
opportunity
to
simplify
our
eligibility
framework.
B
You've
heard
a
little
bit
about
that
with
the
65
plus
cohort
that
we
have
advanced,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
a
second
we're
also
looking
to
standardize.
Our
information
and
data
data
has
become
a
big
issue
that
has
become
a
big
challenge
for
us.
The
data
lag
that's
led
to
some
data.
That's
provided
nationally.
That
did
not
represent
the
data
that
we
have
internally,
meaning
we're
a
number
of
days
behind
what
the
national
numbers
reflect
in
terms
of
the
actual
number
of
vaccines
administered,
and
we
could
talk
about.
B
So
we
have
specifically
addressed
the
issues
around
simplification
by,
as
I
noted
a
moment
ago,
clarifying
that
we
believe
that
the
cohort
65
and
over
needs
to
be
prioritized
alongside
health
care
workers,
first
responders,
food
and
agriculture
workers
and
school
staff
and
teachers.
So
I
want
to
make
this
clear.
We
want
to
continue
to
provide
a
framework
of
prioritization
in
that
cohort,
65
and
over
remember.
75
percent
of
the
deaths
are
reflected
in
people
65
and
over.
We
want
healthcare.
Workers
continue
want
to
work
through
that
cohort.
B
Our
original
tiered
strategy,
consistent
with
the
cdc
and
continue
to
do,
we
can
to
vaccinate
the
vaccinators
our
first
responders,
our
farm
workers,
our
critical
workers
on
the
front
lines
and
our
food
delivery
system
and
our
teachers
in
order
to
get
our
well
schools
reopen,
as
well
as
our
support
staff.
That's
so
foundational
and
critical
not
to
ever
be
forgotten,
as
it
relates
to
making
schools
work.
This
by
the
way
is
analogous
it's
not
more
complicated
than
whenever
you've
been
to
an
airport
and
you're
about
to
board
on
an
airline.
B
They
say
well,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
all
first-class
passengers.
Well
they
don't
wait
for
every
first
class
passenger
to
be
boarded
before
they
announce
all
business
class
passengers.
Accordingly,
they
don't
wait
for
all
business
class
passengers
before
they
announce
premium
class
and
then,
ultimately
the
economy
class.
The
point
is
to
try
to
move
folks
to
board
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
with
prioritization,
that's
reflected
here,
65
and
over
and
those
cohorts
that
are
represented.
B
Once
we
work
through
those
cohorts
represented
here
clearly
to
an
age-based
eligibility
which
will
allow
us
to
scale
up
much
more
quickly
and
get
vaccines
to
impacted
communities
much
more
expeditiously
with
the
framework
always
on
equity,
we're
not
losing
sight
of
any
of
those
fundamentals
any
of
our
values.
But
we
realize
we
have
got
to
increase
throughput
here
and
while
we
are
proud
of
the
framework
we
put
out
cdc,
put
out
and
others
well,
we
recognize
it
has
advantages
and
it
has
disadvantages
as
it
relates
speed
and
efficiency.
B
B
I've
got
me
all
of
these
questions,
appropriate
questions,
we're
getting
everybody
getting
them
here
in
the
nation's
largest
state.
So
when
is
your
turn?
Where
can
I
get
vaccinated
when
it
is
my
turn?
So
what
we
are
announcing
here
is
a
standardization
information
database.
We
announced
it
a
few
weeks
ago
that
we
were
going
to
get
it
done
by
the
end
of
january.
We
have
gotten
this
pilot
up,
as
we
noted
a
few
weeks
back
and
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
moment
what
the
new
platform
is,
but
we
have
now
developed.
B
We
believe
it's
the
most
comprehensive
end-to-end
system
of
its
type
in
the
united
states,
but
again
we
acknowledge
it's
in
its
pilot
phase.
Again
we'll
talk
more
about
that
in
a
second,
but
it's
a
centralized
system
to
enter
vaccines
that
are
received
and
administered,
and
it's
a
mechanism
to
fundamentally
address
the
supporting
lag,
which
again
is
very
stubborn,
but
very
real.
Those
national
numbers
you
see
do
not
reflect
the
numbers
of
vaccines
that
have
been
administered.
B
That
said,
we
have
a
solution
to
that
and
that
is
leveraging
the
innovation,
the
technology
leveraging
some
of
california's
finest
companies.
We
have
a
new
scheduling
system
and
a
new
data
system.
Again,
it's
end
to
end
it's
not
just
a
notification
system,
as
some
other
states
have,
or
a
system
for
reservations
just
with
state
clinics.
B
This
is
an
end-to-end
system
across
the
spectrum,
bottom
up
top
down
providers,
whole
spectrum
of
delivery
system
and
a
database
that
allows
more
immediate
data
to
be
transferred
to
the
cdc
and
that
index
that
is
so
often
referred
to
and
reflected
in
our
nightly
news.
That
said,
the
idea
is
not
very
complicated.
We
want
to
provide
you
the
opportunity
to
sign
up
on
this
app
the
my
turn
platform.
You
sign
up.
You
get
notified
via
text
or
email.
When
it's
your
turn,
you
can
schedule
an
appointment
when
it's
your
turn.
B
As
I
said
it
provides
for
providers
the
ability
to
have
all
that
data
automatically
shared
not
only
with
the
state
but
ultimately
allow
us
to
quickly
share
that
data
with
the
federal
government,
so
back-end
front-end
what
you
care
about
when's.
My
time.
When
do
I
get
a
schedule?
Where
do
I?
When
do
I
get
a
vaccine?
When
am
I
scheduled
and
how
close
is
it
and
then,
of
course,
for
providers
all
that?
B
Well,
difficulty
with
paperwork
and
the
prompted
questions
and
the
old
systems
that
many
many
states,
not
just
state
of
california,
is
struggling
with.
We
partnered
with
salesforce
we
partnered
with
scheduler,
which
is
a
great
company
and
accenture
we've
got
a
pilot
up
and
running.
We
started
this
last
week
in
la
and
san
diego.
B
They
started
allowing
individuals
65
and
over
again
with
the
prioritization
of
the
cohorts
we
just
mentioned
a
moment
ago
to
make
appointments
for
those
clinics
that
have
signed
up
and
come
in
to
the
pilot,
and
so
the
most
important
point
I
want
to
make
about
the
my
turn
pilot.
It's
only
as
good
as
the
clinics
and
provider
network
is
good.
It
gets
more
robust
as
more
people
come
online
and
so
in
the
pilot
phase,
we're
moving
judiciously
but
we're
moving
relatively
efficiently.
B
But
as
more
and
more
clinics
sign
up
more
and
more
opportunities
avail
themselves,
more
more
capacity
is
made
available,
at
least
on
this
platform
versus
other
mechanisms
and
platforms
in
terms
of
finding
out
when
it's
your
turn
to
get
vaccinated
and
how
and
where
you
can
get
vaccinated.
So
we're
aiming
for
a
statewide
launch.
B
We
picked
la,
not
a
small
county
in
san
diego
two
of
the
biggest,
so
we
went
big
and
bold
on
the
pilot,
but
we
want
to
bring
it
to
the
rest
of
the
state
and
we
hope
to
do
so
in
the
next
few
weeks.
We'll
be
talking
more
about
that.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
we
get
this
up.
As
I
said,
it's
the
most
robust
end-to-end
system
of
its
type
that
any
states
put
up.
B
So
it's
got
a
lot
more
components
and
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
run
this
thing
into
the
ground
and
have
a
system
that
shuts
down
and
by
the
way,
there's
been
some
other
states,
not
an
indictment.
Quite
the
contrary.
We
all
should
be
humbled
by
the
magnitude
of
this
moment.
We
saw
it
on
an
employment
side.
Everything
is
at
scale
now
in
terms
of
need.
We've
had
other
systems
that
have
actually
crashed
within
a
few
hours,
because
so
many
people
went
on
or
overwhelmed.
That's.
Why
we're
limiting
this?
B
Focusing
it
on
this
pilot
in
these
two
parts
of
the
state,
and
so
we
continue
to
work
with
providers
and
we
continue
to
advance
the
cause
of
getting
more
and
more
people
to
participate,
and
we
look
forward
again
getting
this
out
statewide
in
just
a
number
of
weeks.
Look
the
bottom
line
on
supply
for
us
is:
we've
had
a
very
conservative
approach
of
administering
first
doses.
At
the
local
level,
mind
you
state
of
california,
doesn't
receive
any
doses.
California
doesn't
have
any
doses
in
its
cash.
B
We
don't
have
a
warehouse
of
doses,
they're
sent
directly
to
counties,
counties
to
providers,
some
cases
providers
directly.
It's
a
complicated
network
5000
folks,
in
that
broader
provider
network
over
3
500
active,
some
very,
very
small.
Some
are
very
efficient.
Getting
data
back
in
the
system.
Some
are
very
inefficient
because
they
see
that
as
tertiary,
not
even
secondary
to
getting
these
things
administered
and
that's
what
we're
discovering
big
part
of
the
data
lake.
B
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
just
push
the
envelope
on
getting
these
first
doses
out,
based
on
a
conservative
approach,
which
is,
in
some
respects,
understandable,
based
upon
the
scarcity
mindset
that
continues
to
be
reinforced
at
the
federal
level,
but
we
need
to
move,
and
that
means
we
are
going
to
reallocate
they.
People
know
this
already
we're
just
highlighting
this
updating
you
this
week
that
we
will
reallocate
those
providers
that
cannot,
and
by
the
way,
that's
something
that's
in
the
works.
That
is
not
something
prospective.
I
can
assure
you.
We
have
a
vaccine
team.
B
As
you
know,
we've
got
three
task
force.
We
have
our
safety
task
force.
We
have
our
guidelines
task
force
our
community
advisory
task
force.
We
also
have
at
the
office
emergency
services,
where
I
am
this
broader
logistics
task
force.
We
have
extraordinary
person
yolanda
richardson,
running
those
efforts
running
that
task
force.
She
is
the
task
force
vaccination
czar.
If
you
would,
she
doesn't
want
that
as
her
title,
but
just
trying
to
reinforce
what
her
real
role
is
to
drive
things
in
a
unified,
statewide
approach.
B
The
whole
idea
is
a
more
unified
statewide
network
approach
supposed
to
bottom
up.
Flu
vaccines.
Think
flu
vaccines,
the
original
construct
bottom
up.
We
want
a
little
bit
more
of
a
command
function
to
control
variability,
which
we
think
is
fundamental
in
terms
of
fast
tracking,
the
distribution
of
vaccine
to
maintain
consistency,
yes,
accountability,
transparency
and
also
allow
our
health
care
system
and
the
counties
to
do
what
they
do
best,
which
is
a
myriad
of
additional
things,
not
just
logistics
as
it
relates
to
the
vaccines
tomorrow.
B
B
What
we've
done
in
the
last
few
weeks
to
architect
this
in
a
more
meaningful
way,
not
rhetorically,
but
a
more
substantive
way,
that's
building
the
real
platform
and
that's
a
platform
when
we
start
to
see
substantial
abundance
of
vaccines
arriving
in
the
state
in
a
more
consistent
manner
to
make
sure
that
we
are
truly
prepared
for
that,
as
we
continue
to
make
progress
again,
tripling
the
number
of
vaccines
that
we've
administered
in
a
very
short
period
of
time.
By
the
way
people
have
asked.
B
Where
are
you
in
relationship
to
president
biden's
goal
of
100
million
vaccines
in
a
hundred
days?
We're
we're
well
ahead
of
where,
even
today,
where
we
are
today,
just
to
put
in
perspective,
that's
just
120
000
vaccinations.
Currently,
that's
per
day
weekday,
we've
spiked
up
to
130,
we'll
do
much
more
than
that
in
the
next
few
weeks.
But
even
if
things
were
static,
they
will
not
be,
but
even
if
things
were
static,
we
would
more
than
exceed
the
goal
that
was
laid
out
by
the
body
administration.
B
So
I
personally
believe
that's
not
a
particularly
challenging
goal
to
meet,
save
one
major
caveat
and
that's
supply
and
that's
foundational.
Of
course.
There
are
attitudes
related
to
vaccines.
That
also
need
to
be
addressed
and
that's
not
insignificant.
So
you
combine
those
two
but
substantively
supply.
There
should
be
no
reason
that
we
can't
achieve
that
goal.
Speaking
of
goals,
we
had
a
goal
very
specific
goal
by
this
week
to
extend
the
eviction
protections
here
in
the
state
of
california.
B
We
have
a
deal
just
announced
a
few
moments
ago,
credible
leadership
of
our
pro
tem
and
our
speaker.
I
want
to
thank
them
personally,
their
personal
engagement
on
this.
No
one
outsourced
time
and
attention
to
getting
a
deal
done
now
being
socialized
today
to
extend
the
eviction
protections
to
june
30th.
B
By
the
way,
it
was
901
last
night
that
the
final
final
you
know,
period
exclamation,
preposition
adjective
was
worked
out,
and
so
we
were
working
through
the
weekend
and
I
just
want
to
congratulate
again
those
leaders
for
a
job
well
done.
People
will
continue
to
pay
at
least
25
percent
of
their
rent
through
june
30..
Remember
this
eviction.
Protection
was
due
to
expire
at
the
end
of
this
month.
Now
will
expire
july,
1st
in
essence
june
30.
B
If
we
address
the
issues
of
debt-
and
I
don't
want
to
go
into
too
much
detail-
you'll
get
the
detail
when
this
is
put
forward
to
the
legislature
this
week
with
urgency,
but
here's
the
important
thing
that
is
urgent
and
I
recognize
it
and
that's
the
need
for
resources.
One
thing
to
get
protections
in
other
to
be
able
to
pay
your
rent
when
it
is
due
address.
B
The
issues
are
small
landlords
that
also
have
to
pay
mortgages
and
debt
that
they've
accrued
related
to
their
properties
as
well,
and
so
2.6
billion
dollars
is
attached
to
this
deal
as
part
of
the
federal
funds.
Thank
you,
speaker.
Pelosi.
2.6
billion
dollars.
That's
money!
That's
going
direct
to
some
counties
and
cities
and
obviously
money
that's
coming
into
the
state
we're
going
to
leverage
that
2.6
billion
dollars,
focusing
on
low-income
renters,
targeting
50
percent
of
ami,
which
area
medium
income
up
to
about
80
percent
of
ami.
B
The
whole
idea
is
to
leverage
the
dollars
and
look
at
paying
back
background
80
background
about
80,
but
also
get
about
20
percent
of
that
rent
for
given.
So
that's
the
strain,
the
strategy
leverage
if
landlords
choose
not
to
participate,
no
one
has
to
and
then
there's
no
there's,
no
there's
no
direct
federal
benefit
that
goes
to
that
landlord.
B
But
those
tenants
are
able
to
at
least
get
their
lives
a
little
more
stable
because
they
will
continue
on
with
their
25
payment,
but
with
the
benefit
of
those
federal
dollars
and
by
the
way,
I'm
not
naive.
None
of
us
are
to
the
issues
of
rent,
but
also
utilities
probably
defined
including
water
bills.
In
this
state
it's
been
highlighted
and
we
grateful
for
all
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
to
highlight
that
critical
issue
by
the
way
these
dollars
will
help
in
that
respect.
B
We
move
into
this
blueprint
back
to
the
blueprint
which
is
a
governor
of
sorts,
so
we're
not
just
reopening
but
we're
reopening
in
these
tiers
well
established,
well
understood
and,
if
again,
remind
need
to
be
reminded
the
details
around
those
go
to
that
covet19.ca.gov
website.
Whole
idea
is
to
keep
our
activities
outside.
Keep
you
safe
work
our
way
through
the
next
number
of
months.
B
Until
we
get
to
that
hurt
immunity
based
upon
the
distribution,
access
of
vaccines,
which
we
acknowledge,
we
have
work
to
do
and
more
work
in
front
of
us
that
will
be
socialized
tomorrow
in
more
nuance
in
detail.
To
give
you
confidence
that
this
state
is
moving
aggressively
in
the
right
direction.
With
that
happy
to
take
any.
E
D
D
F
You've
heard
me
before
talk
about
today's
cases
in
about
two
weeks
about
12
percent,
get
hospitalized
over
the
next
two
weeks
about
12
percent
end
up
in
the
icu's,
so
those
are
projections
we
want
to
not
get
to
a
place
where
that's
already
happened,
so
we
put
the
regional
state
home
order
at
a
certain
point
to
avoid
what
we
saw
down
the
road
four
weeks
from
now.
Similarly,
we
use
that
same
model
that
same
idea
of
projection
to
evaluate,
what's
going
on
in
today's
current
conditions.
F
F
So
today,
as
we
stand
here,
look
at
the
models
that
include
not
just
today's
icu
conditions,
but
the
case
rates,
the
r
effective,
which
is
that
transmission
rate
or
how
transmissible
the
virus
is.
We
look
forward
to
these
projections
from
where
we
stand
today.
Now,
of
course,
this
can
change
that
if
transmission
rates
go
up,
the
projections
four
weeks
at
that
moment
might
be
lower.
F
We
hope
that
we
continue
to
see
the
decline
that
we've
been
witnessing
over
the
past
10
to
14
days
that
give
us
the
confidence
today
around
what
those
hospital
projections
would
be
again.
The
blueprint
and
the
model
or
the
the
calculations
that
we
look
at
with
the
blueprint
and
moving
tiers
are
actually
about
transmission
in
communities
or
in
counties
today
and
now,
so
we
use
that
to
predict
not
so
much
to
predict
to,
but
to
evaluate
how
prepared
a
county
is
to
move
into
a
less
restrictive
tier.
F
H
Hey
governor
thanks
for
taking
our
questions
today,
we
have
heard
a
lot
of
frustration
from
elected
officials
who
learned
about
this
either
on
twitter
or
by
reading
our
news
reports.
I'm
curious
to
know
why
the
communication
to
elected
officials
was
not
better.
It
seems
that
the
restaurant
association
learned
of
this
more
than
a
lot
of
people
who
are
getting
questions
from
their
constituents.
Can
you
speak
to
that.
B
Give
some
sense
of
optimism
not
only
to
those
businesses
but
to
those
that
want
to
see
their
kids
out
there
in
activities
like
competitive
sports?
Do
we
delay
that
for
a
long,
protracted,
comprehensive
outreach,
or
do
we
just
move
forward
based
upon
the
criteria?
That's
been
well
established
and
set
based
upon
the
trend
lines
that
we've
been
socializing
for
weeks
and
weeks
now,
and
data
that
people
should
be
quite
familiar
with,
but
many
people
were
privy
to
these
facts.
I
Vicki
gonzalez
kpi
governor
thanks
for
taking
our
questions
I
have
my
mine
is
twofold.
First,
I
reached
out
to
the
industries
that
are
suing
the
state
for
decisions
that
are
being
made
affecting
their
industries
and
their
businesses.
They
argue
that,
in
addition
to
getting
businesses
reopened,
they
also
want
to
obtain
a
precedent,
setting
and
authoritative
ruling
that
will
permanently
block
you
and
health
directors
and
I'm
saying,
as
a
quote
from
imposing
any
future
arbitrary
and
unjustified
lockdowns
in
the
future.
What
is
your
response
to
that?
I
B
Yeah
good,
dr
gali,
if
he's
aware
of
that
specific
case,
to
discuss
that
here,
just
in
a
brief
moment,
but
as
it
relates
to
the
broader
issue
of
effective
non-pharmaceutical
interventions
and
strategies
to
use
science
and
data
to
make
determinations
of
what
we
should
and
shouldn't
do,
I'm
very
satisfied
with
the
approach
the
vast
majority
of
us
have
taken
across
the
spectrum.
States,
large
and
small
conservative
run
states,
not
just
democratic-run
states
and
countries
for
that
matter
around
the
world
that
have
led
to
these
modifications,
as
it
relates
to
avoiding
large
gatherings.
B
God
forbid,
we
go
back
to
large
rock
concerts,
et
cetera
too
early
or
frankly,
five
six
months
ago,
in
the
midst
of
the
this
pandemic,
when
we
didn't
necessarily
have
capacity-
and
we
didn't
understand
the
complexities
of
potential
variants,
moving
in
and
didn't
necessarily
have
adequate
ppe
or
icu
capacity
that
we
were
holding
large
events
with
tens
of
thousands
of
people.
Some
folks
and
sounds
like
the
folks
that
you
exampled
support
that
and
and
respectfully
the
doctors,
the
experts
from
dr
faucion
down
the
overwhelming
majority.
B
I
mean
it's
like
climate
science
there's
two
or
three
percent
that
disagree,
and
you
see
them
on
certain
networks
and
then
the
rest
of
folks
that
acknowledge
certain
common
sense
as
it
relates
to
mitigation,
the
transmission
of
this
pandemic,
and
so
look
we're
gonna
hold
to
that
we're
winning.
We
won
two
more
lawsuits
last
few
days.
B
It's
not
about
that
because
surely
we'll
win
vast
majority
we
have,
and
a
few
obviously
we'll
go
through
the
process
and
some
have
ultimately
gone
to
the
supreme
court,
including
justice
roberts
himself,
that
that
squared
support
for
one
of
our
one
of
our
orders
that
we
put
out
but
we're
we
feel
like
we're
in
firm
footing
and
and
based
on
science
and
based
data
and
basis
common
sense
in
some
respects.
As
well
with
that,
though,
let's
ask
dr
galley
a
little
bit
more
about
this
case
up
here
in
placer.
F
Let
me
begin
by
just
sharing
condolences
with
the
individuals
loved
ones
who
life
was
lost
in
placer.
We
are
aware
of
the
case
we're
working
closely
with
the
coroner,
the
health
officer
in
that
county
to
determine
the
details
around
the
case.
Certainly,
this
was
an
individual
who
had
been
recently
vaccinated.
I
think
also
other
details
are
complex
and
and
worth
further
investigation,
and
that's
what
we're
doing
now,
I
think
overwhelmingly,
though,
we've
seen
so
many
individuals
successfully
and
without
any
significant
reactions
received
both
the
moderna
and
the
pfizer
vaccines.
F
But
we
are
looking
at
this
very
closely
and
still
stand
behind
the
overwhelming
data
and
evidence
that
these
vaccines
are
safe,
as
we
gain
additional
information
not
just
about
the
placer
county
situation,
but
other
reactions
across
the
state
across
the
nation.
Sharing
that
very
publicly
sharing
the
lessons
learned,
I
think,
is
key
to
continuing
to
develop
the
confidence
of
our
state,
our
public
in
receiving
the
vaccine
and
getting
us
on
the
other
side
of
this
pandemic.
B
And
I
appreciate
the
point
dr
gallery
was
making,
as
it
relates
to
this
individual
case,
as
we
get
more
information,
obviously
pass
it
along,
but
just
another
reminder
of
how
deadly
this
pandemic
has
been
and
continues
to
be
either
related
to
potential
issues
that
are
being
investigated
in
that
case,
or
just
more
broadly
to
the
disease
itself.
504
people
on
average
losing
their
lives
on
any
given
day
here
in
the
state
of
california.
B
500
families
torn
apart,
because
they've
lost
a
loved
one
because
of
the
deadliness
of
this
pandemic,
and
it's
just
a
another
silver
reminder
of
why
one
cannot
be
flippant
and
just
turn
on
the
light
switch
once
again
and
have
everybody
rush
back
to
mass
gatherings
without
any
consideration
of
transmission
or
effective
issues
related
to
the
impact.
This
disease
continues
to
have
on
not
only
our
most
vulnerable,
our
seniors,
but
those
with
co-morbidities,
pre-existing
conditions
and
other
issues
that
could
further
exacerbate
their
health.
B
C
C
So
that's
one
part
of
it
now
the
devil's
advocate
side
is
the
other
part
of
it
about
dining
outside
some
people
believe,
because
that
went
away
it
forced
more
people
to
fracture
nice
inside
and
that
led
for
the
higher
rise
of
cases
here
in
southern
california,
and
I'm
wondering
if
that's
factoring
into
the
decision,
so
looking
at
both
sides
of
the
coin.
Here,
if
I
could
get
you
and
dr
gallagher.
B
To
weigh
in
on
that
absolutely
appreciative.
Thank
you.
One.
One
question
answers
the
other.
The
other
begs
the
question,
forgive
me,
but
let
me
just
go
to
a
slide
here.
Just
on
the
first
part
of
your
question,
the
issue,
the
variance,
here's,
what
we
know
about
variants
in
state
of
california,
you've
highlighted,
and
we
appreciate
that
work
and
others
have
as
well
what
happened
in
cedar,
sinai
and
ucsf
as
it
relates
to
this
b1
429
cases
which
we're
still
working
on.
Is
that
a
covet,
a
variant,
that's
unique
to
california?
B
Or
is
it
something
else
again
we're
still
working
through
that?
But
so
are
we
working
through
its
virulence,
we're
working
through
its
transmissibility
we're
working
to
investigate
more
understanding,
but
456
cases
of
that
particular
variant
have
been
reported
again,
north
and
south
here
in
the
state
of
california,
as
it
relates
to
the
uk
variant.
You
can
see
here
on
the
slide
a
little
bit
update
on
the
numbers
from
san
diego
san
bernardino,
the
one
case
just
90
in
all
that
b,
117
variant.
B
That's
gotten
a
lot
of
attention
that
we
have
been
able
to
identify
so
again
working
through
a
deeper
and
more
nuanced
and
complex
understanding,
but
look
as
it
relates
to
the
issue
of
a
stay-at-home
order.
It's
just
an
opportunity
to
remind
you
against
state
homeowners,
not
a
light
switch
going
back
to
the
way
things
were
a
year
plus
ago.
B
I'll
just
give
you
an
example
of
what
I
mean
by
that
just
over
last
weekend,
we
were
out
there
with
the
alcohol
beverage
control,
doing
education,
not
just
enforcement,
5600
establishments
in
expectation
and
obviously
in
concern,
because
some
people
were
working
outside
or
opening
outside
of
the
restrictions,
but
anticipation
of
activities
beginning
to
resume
making
sure
that
folks
were
prepared
to
be
in
compliance.
So
that's
the
way
we're
approaching
this
and
not
naively
soberly
with
our
eyes
wide
open
and,
as
I
said
in
the
beginning,
dr
galley
said
this
as
well.
B
Looking
at
our
staffing
and
where
we
are
looking
at
number
of
waivers,
related
staffing,
which
we
hope
to
address
that
very
very
quickly
as
well
to
mitigate
the
stress
in
that
space,
and
so
that's
constant
and
never-ending
feedback
that
goes
into
making
determinations
in
real
time.
None
of
us
are
ideological,
and
if
we
see
things
beginning
to
break
in
a
direction
that
was
not
anticipated,
we
will
make
a
move
to
address
that.
But
with
that,
forgive
me
perhaps
more
succinctly.
Dr
galley
can
answer
that
question
as
well.
F
Yeah
thanks
for
the
question,
let
me
just
start
about
the
variant.
I
think
the
governor
gave
the
details
of
this
slide
and
we
are
of
course
concerned
about
it.
Anytime.
You
get
a
mutated,
germ,
a
mutated
virus
that
we're
just
learning
about
we're,
just
getting
more
familiar
with
kovid.
What
it
does.
The
variant
creates
another
unknown,
and
we
don't
know
enough
about
it,
yet
we're
seeing
it
a
little
bit
more
and
more.
The
only
thing
I
can
tell
you
about
these
numbers:
is
they
aren't
a
true
reflection
of?
What's
out
there?
F
My
guess
many
people's
guess
is
it's
much
higher
than
this
and
we'll
be
looking
for
it
on
a
more
continuous
basis,
with
a
clear
focus
while
we're
also
investigating
the
two
things
the
governor
talked
about.
Is
this
more
contagious?
We
know
that
the
b1429,
actually
the
mutation,
is
also
in
the
binding
region
of
that
virus.
So
that
means
that
we're
concerned
that
it
attaches
to
the
human
cell
a
little
bit
more
than
the
natural
virus,
the
one
we've
been
dealing
with
and
that
might
make
it
more
contagious.
F
F
So
all
of
that
is
what
we're
still
looking
at
and,
of
course
this
plays
into
what
the
governor
described
this
day-to-day
look
at
what's
happening
with
transmission
with
cases
across
the
state
region
by
region
county
by
county,
frankly,
community
by
community,
and
so
many
places
to
understand
what
are
the
appropriate
interventions
that
we
need
to
imagine
look.
I
grew
up
and
played
sports.
My
entire
life
really
depended
on
trying
to
understand
my
opponent.
We
have
an
opponent
we've
never
seen
before.
We
have
no
game
film
on
covid19.
F
F
Mutation
of
variant
creates
a
whole
another
sort
of
situation
that
we
have
to
try
to
understand.
So
I
know
we
always
want
to
try
to
sort
of
forecast
where
we're
going
as
we
understand
that
we
do
give
as
much
information
as
we
can,
but
we're
always
looking
for
how
this
sneaky
virus
is
going
to
sort
of
throw
us
a
curveball
in
a
way
and
to
decide
what
the
right
interventions
are
and
to
date,
we've
used
the
blueprint.
We've
used.
F
Various
interventions
like
the
regional
stay-at-home
order
to
manage
certain
phases
of
our
response
statewide,
and
we
will
always
be
looking
to
use
tools
that
get
us
safely
through
this.
As
we
work
to
get
the
vaccine
aggressively
out
into
our
communities,
getting
it
hopefully
more
and
more
from
the
federal
government
and
then
working
exactly
how
the
governor's
sort
of
shared
today
with
our
county
partners
or
other
health
care
partners
to
make
sure
californians
get
vaccinated
as
soon
as
possible.
J
Thank
you
governor
first.
First,
an
informational
question
about
the
the
my
turn
app.
Is
that
something
that
people,
in
los
angeles
and
san
diego
counties,
can
download
now
in
the
app
store
or
google
play?
How
does
somebody
get
that?
And,
secondly,
a
broader
question
just
about
to
give
you
a
chance
to
respond
to
critics,
because
you
know
the
critics
are
saying
this
online
that
this
decision
today
comes
amidst
a
recall
campaign
comes
amidst
lawsuits
and
they
say
that
the
timing
on
this
is
arbitrary
and
convenient.
B
B
B
But
we're
very
encouraged
by
it
got
incredible
team
incredible
partnership
with
salesforce,
accenture
and
scheduler,
which
is
one
of
the
more
interesting
startup
companies
here
in
the
state
of
california.
And
so
we
really
encouraged
by
the
progress
and
very
grateful
that
la
county
and
in
san
diego
county
were
willing
to
work
with
us
on
this
pilot.
E
Katie
orr
kqed
hi
governor
thanks
for
taking
our
question.
You've
always
said
that
early
education
and
child
care
providers
are
a
priority
for
your
administration.
So
why
then,
have
the
child
care
providers
union?
It's
been
saying
that
your
administration
will
not
negotiate
with
them
on
coven
19
related
issues
like
increased
money
for
ppe,
like
they
have.
D
E
B
Well,
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
acknowledging
not
just
what
we
said,
but
let
me
may
I
for
what
we've
done
more
than
any
administration
in
modern
history,
to
invest
in
ece
early
childhood
education
to
put
out
a
blueprint,
first,
blueprint
of
its
type
in
state
history,
a
master
plan
not
just
for
higher
education,
but
a
master
plan
for
early
education,
which
we
just
did
something
I
promoted
promised.
We
got
done
recently
and
we
also
made
a
down
payment
based
upon
that
blueprint
in
the
budget
that
I
just
submitted
to
the
legislature.
B
Support
that
I
signed
a
bill
that
I
promoted
as
well
on
collective
bargaining
that
actually
set
the
table
that
you're
referring
to.
So
with
all
of
that.
As
a
predicate
and
foundation,
we
are
in
that
deliberative
process,
I'm
very
familiar
as
a
former
mayor
with
these
memorandums
of
understanding
and
the
goals
and
desires
to
advance
the
collective
bargaining
cause.
This
is
a
startup
operation,
we're
doing
something.
That's
never
been
done
in
this
space
before
and
we
are
working
collaboratively
together
and
we've
got
work
to
do.
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
concerns
that
you
raise.
B
In
fact,
some
leaders
in
the
union
that
hopes
to
represent
these
workers
reached
out
directly
as
well
and
we've
been
in
contact
so
we're
confident
that
we'll
work
through
these
issues.
I
also
forgive
me,
take
time
to
acknowledge
you
know.
Last
year
we
had
a
shortfall
in
this
state
in
our
public
employee
unions,
across
the
spectrum
we
worked
through
our
differences.
We
we
had
some
good
days.
We
had
some
bad
days.
B
Despite
the
budget
shortfalls
last
year,
because
our
public
employee
unions
helped
step
up
step
in
protecting
those
young
folks
and
making
sure
the
caregivers
were
supported
as
well.
So
it's
the
spirit
that
we
enter
into
these
negotiations
and
that
spirit,
I'm
confident
will
get
us
across
the
line
and
get
a
good
contract
for
everybody.
G
Final
question:
jackie
fox
cal
matters
winner.
I
have
two
questions
about
what
california
is
doing
to
protect
farm
workers
right
now,
you've
mentioned
housing
for
harvest
a
few
times
this
month
during
your
budget
announcement.
But
as
we've
reported,
not
many
farm
workers
have
taken
advantage
of
the
rooms.
As
of
january
11th
cdfa
told
me
that
just
107
reservations
have
been
made
and,
of
course,
the
estimates.
The
number
of
farmworkers
have
such
a
positive
since
helping
the
harvest
was
announced
is
in
the
tens
of
thousands.
G
So
there
we
reported
that
there
were
some
big
barriers
to
accessing
this
program,
including
tests
or
medical
referral
requirements,
and
also
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
people
just
don't
trust
it
are
afraid
of
separating
from
their
families
and
advocates
and
farm
workers,
told
us
that
that
state-funded
cash
assistance
to
help
farmworkers
isolate
at
home
would
be
more
helpful.
So
I'm
wondering
my
first
question
is
given
the
low
numbers.
Are
you
considering
any
changes
to
the
program?
G
My
subject:
questions
about
getting
back
teams
to
farmworkers,
for
those
same
reasons
that
I
just
listed
pharmaceutical
experience,
barriers
to
access
likely
more
than
your
average
65
plus
year
old.
So
I'm
wondering
what
is
your
plan
going
forward
to
make
sure
that
essential
workers
farmworkers,
who
have
been
hit
so
hard,
don't
get
crowded
to
the
end
of
these
initial
priority?
Tiers
that
have
gotten
much
bigger,
even
as
the
vaccine
remains
scarce,.
B
Let
me
take
this
slide
and
once
again
bring
it
back
up
just
to
reinforce,
and
I
think
it
answers
the
latter
part
of
your
question.
We
are
prioritizing,
so
your
question
was
around
a
frame
get
lost
in
tears.
We
are
keeping
our
farm
workers,
our
agricultural
workers,
in
that
top
tier
65
and
over
healthcare
workers
continue
to
prioritize.
B
First
refineries
continue
to
prioritize
their
hundreds
of
farm
workers
just
today
that
I
know
are
being
vaccinated
as
an
example
in
fresno
county
and
our
food
workers,
so
that's
a
priority
along
with
our
teachers
and
and
school
staff,
so
that
that
is
firm
in
terms
of
our
prioritization
as
it
relates
to
the
deeper
issues.
Here's
a
great
opportunity,
I'm
sort
of
smiling.
B
When
you
ask
the
question,
because
last
week
I
asked
my
team
to
put
together
an
entire
list
of
all
the
supports
that
we
have
provided
farm
workers
since
the
beginning
of
this
pandemic,
and
what
we're
proposing
to
do
that
will
directly
and
indirectly
impact
farm
workers
in
next
year's
budget.
We
actually
have
that
document.
The
interest
of
time,
I'm
going
to
make
sure
we
provide
that
to
you.
B
Some
sickly
workers,
comp
issues
associated
with
those
cash
grants
that
we
provided
no
other
state
at
the
time,
had
considered
all
the
work
we've
done
with
philanthropy
and
the
partnerships
we've
created
with
farm
growers,
not
just
farm
workers,
as
it
relates
to
growers
themselves
rather
and
the
partnership
that
you
reference
on
the
housing
and
some
of
the
issues
that
are
unique
in
the
central
valley
versus
the
central
coast.
Forgive
me
for
belaboring
this,
but
we'll
have
a
memo
out
shortly.
B
Accordingly,
we
will
shortly
tomorrow,
have
dr
galley
back
up
and
in
front
of
all
of
you
to
update
more
specific
terms,
the
work
on
vaccines
and
how
we
will
create
more
clarity,
more
ease
in
terms
of
criteria
to
allow
faster
throughput
and
build
on
the
work.
That's
been
done
the
last
number
of
weeks
to
get
us
back
in,
I
think
back
where
all
of
you
deserve,
as
it
relates
to
the
issue
as
well.
Those
tiers
which
is
so
fundamental.
B
As
a
reminder,
the
state
homeowner
is
not
lifted
where
everyone
is
going
back
to
where
we
were
january
25th
six
last
year,
it's
bringing
us
back
to
where
we
were
just
a
few
months
ago
and
less
as
it
relates
to
this
blueprint
for
a
safer
reopening,
that's
well
established,
well
understood
and
we
hope
will
be
well
received
as
it
relates.
We
move
in
to
this
challenging
period,
but
a
period
nonetheless,
where
we
truly
do
see
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
So
I
want
to
thank
dr
galley.
