C
Well,
good
afternoon,
everybody
I
want
to
just
jump
in
today
update
you
on
our
wildfires
in
the
state
of
california,
provide
some
new
updates
on
the
number
of
covid
transmissions
in
the
state,
broader
trend
lines,
but
I
want
to
first
start
with
an
issue
that
we
are
keeping
our
eye
on
an
issue
that
is
our
top
priority
outside
of
the
situational
challenges
of
dealing
with
a
pandemic
in
dealing
with
this
unprecedented
emergency
related
to
wildfires
in
the
state
and
that's
the
crisis
on
the
streets
of
the
state
of
california.
C
I
want
to
remind
people
very
briefly
that
we
are
making
historic
investments
in
housing
for
the
homeless
here
in
the
state
of
california.
I've
long
believed
and
held
a
bias
that
shelters
may
solve
sleep,
but
housing
and
supportive
services
foundationally
can
help
address
more
permanently
the
issue
of
homelessness
and
as
a
construct,
we
were
able
to
advance
this
year,
an
effort
we
referred
to
as
project
homekey
working
with
legislature
with
their
leadership.
C
We
were
able
to
set
aside
some
600
million
dollars
this
year
in
the
budget
to
purchase
hotels
and
other
housing
for
the
homeless
to
for
the
first
time.
Arguably,
in
state's
history
provide
a
portfolio
support
to
the
cities
and
the
counties
the
likes
of
which
we
never
have
had
in
the
past.
I
want
to
just
briefly
update
you
on
some
of
the
progress.
This
audacious
goal
of
investing
some
600
million
dollars
into
this
space
needs
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
C
We
are
moving
with
surgical
aggressiveness
in
terms
of
advancing
these
efforts
with
a
kind
of
focus
and
energy
that
we
haven't
in
many
many
years
and
as
a
consequence,
we
are
now
sending
out
today
our
first
awards
drawing
down
from
that
600
million
dollars,
some
76.5
million
dollars
to
procure
some
579
units
10
different
projects
across
seven
jurisdictions
in
this
state.
The
reason
I
highlight
these
jurisdictions
is
that
a
number
of
them
are
novel,
a
number
of
them
like
mendocino
county.
You
see
on
this
list.
C
They
have
goals
with
this
first
tranche
of
distribution
to
functionally
get
to
zero,
the
number
of
quote
unquote
homeless
in
their
communities.
We
also
have
projects
in
el
centro,
focusing
on
foster
youth
in
particular
homeless,
use
many
that
have
been
emancipated
or
dropped
through
the
cracks
in
our
foster
system
pittsburgh.
California,
we
recently
were
at
a
motel,
6
site.
C
It's
not
concentrated
in
just
a
few
dense
urban
environments
in
this
state
having
traveled
most
part
of
this
state
over
the
last
week,
I'm
just
reminded
over
and
over
as
we
drive
and
see
those
underpasses,
we
drive
down
streets,
sidewalks
strewn
with
camping
equipment,
people
out
there
intense
the
work
we
have
to
do,
and
so
again
I'd
be
remiss.
If
I
didn't
highlight
this
many
of
you
tuned
in
to
get
an
update
on
the
wildfires
and
covid,
but
I
want
folks
to
know
our
commitment,
our
resolve
to
addressing
this
issue.
C
It's
not
going
to
happen
overnight.
We
cannot
over
promise
in
this
space.
The
state
of
california
has
a
responsibility
to
support
cities
and
counties.
The
state
of
california
for
decades
was
not
focused
as
much
as
we
would
otherwise
have
liked
on
this
issue,
and
so
we
are
trying
to
make
up
for
that
and
we
are
trying
to
take
responsibility
and
move
forward
deliberatively
and
this
project
home
key,
we
think,
is
one
of
the
more
meaningful
efforts
in
advancing
that
cause.
C
And
again,
I
want
to
just
thank
all
our
partners,
including
the
head,
the
co-chairs
rather
of
the
work
group
that
we
put
together
on
homelessness,
darrell,
steinberg,
mayor
steinberg
and
supervisor
mark
ridley,
thomas
for
all
of
their
outstanding
support
as
well,
representing
that
work
group
in
advancing
this
cause
cause
again
that
many
of
you
came
to
get
updated
on,
though
I
recognize
is
the
experience
we're
all
having
with
historic
wildfire
season.
I
thought
I'd
start
with
this
template
of
understanding.
This
is
a
chart
that
goes
back
to
1980..
C
You
look
over
a
40-year
period
you're
seeing
the
average
temperatures
between
june
and
september
here
in
the
state
of
california
increase
from
roughly
71
degrees
to
about
74
degrees.
While
that
may
not
seem
significant
three
degrees,
it
is
profoundly
impactful
average
temperatures
in
the
state
of
california
during
these
summer
months,
increasing
over
the
last
number
of
decades.
It
is
a
direct
cause
and
effect
to
the
experience
that
we're
currently
having
this
climate
induced
human
activity
induced
climate
induced
wild
fire
season.
C
I
made
this
crystal
clear
two
days
ago
when
president
trump
was
out
here
in
the
state
and
expressed.
Similarly,
when
we
were
with
senator
harris
yesterday
here
in
the
state
that
we
all
recognize
our
responsibility,
mutual
responsibility,
the
federal
government,
the
state
government,
private
land
owners,
all
of
us
doing
more
in
doing
better
in
terms
of
our
vegetation
management
efforts,
our
forest
management
efforts.
C
We
stipulate
that
as
self-evident,
and
that,
of
course,
is
being
advanced
in
ways
that
we
have
not
seen
in
the
past
by
a
partnership
with
the
u.s
forest
service,
to
more
than
double
the
total
number
of
acreage
on
an
annual
basis
where
we
are
doing
the
kind
of
prescribed
burns
doing.
The
kind
of
thinning
that
has
an
environmental
construct
at
the
same
time
addresses
some
of
the
fuel
loads
in
our
dense
forests.
But
the
fundamental
fact
cannot
be
denied
represented
in
this
chart
and
the
reality
of
average
temperature
significantly
increasing.
C
And
you
see
that
trend
line
that
is
not
going
in
the
right
direction.
It
is
going
in
a
direction
that
only
underscores
our
sense
of
urgency
to
address
head
on
the
issue
of
climate
and
climate
change
and
to
double
down
on
our
efforts
here
in
the
state
of
california.
A
commitment
that
I
have
made
very
publicly
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
days,
frankly
over
the
course
of
many
many
years
and
many
different
capacities,
including
my
capacity
as
a
former
mayor
where
we
led
this
state
in
many
categories.
C
California
leads
the
nation,
but
we
have
more
work
still
to
do
and
you'll
be
hearing
a
series
of
those
announcements
over
the
next
few
weeks
and
months
as
we
advance
this
cause
a
cause
that
we
hold
dear
in
the
state
of
california
in
a
cause.
That
knows
no
political
party,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
leadership
in
the
state,
from
governor
brown
to
governor
schwarzenegger
going
back
to
governor
reagan,
who
established
1970
many
of
the
tenants,
the
california
air
resources
board
and
other
tenants
that
have
become
national
models
in
environmental
stewardship.
C
We
need
to
reconcile
the
fact
there
are
no
democratic
thermometers
and
no
republican
thermometers.
There's
fact
and
there's
reality
as
well
as
observed
evidence,
it's
not
a
belief
system.
It's
an
acknowledgement.
The
facts
are
the
facts.
It's
not
a
question
of
one's
belief.
It's
whether
or
not
you
will
acknowledge
the
facts
as
they're
presented.
The
facts
that
are
in
evidence-
and
we
certainly
acknowledge
them,
and
we
acknowledge
our
responsibility
to
do
more
still
in
this
space.
C
Why?
Well,
you
can
see
from
this
chart
the
challenge
that
we
have
in
front
of
us.
Here's
a
chart
just
looking
back
over
the
last
nine
years
here
in
the
state
of
california.
I
reminded
people
after
a
very
tough
wildfire
season.
Last
year,
the
kincaid
fire
in
particular
in
northern
california,
as
stressful
as
that
was
the
getty
fire,
a
fire
near
the
reagan
library
itself
last
year,
that
generated
a
lot
of
international
headlines
that
it
was
a
relatively
mild
wildfire
season.
C
Of
course,
you
see
that
third
bar
1.975
million
acres
burned
the
camp
fire,
153
thousand
acres
impacted
peridot
in
and
around
paradise
related
to
that
fire
85
lives
have
lost,
that
being
one
of
the
most
destructive
and
devastating
from
structural
perspective
and
lives
lost
perspective.
C
Not
just
acreate's
perspective
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
challenge
that
we're
facing
and
the
challenges
that
we
will
face
moving
into
the
future
that
are
going
to
require
us
to
be
more
flexible,
less
ideological
and
more
committed
to
the
collective
cause
of
organizing
strategies
to
keep
people
safe
and
to
maintain
our
adaptability
and
our
resiliency,
so
that
we
can
work
through
this
challenge
in
this
climate-induced
crisis.
This
emergency
that
we're
facing
not
only
as
a
state
as
a
nation,
but
as
a
globe
and
as
a
world
people.
It
relates
to
california's
historic,
wildfire
seasons.
C
Let
me
break
them
down
in
terms
of
the
total
number
of
fires
in
more
well.
I
think
easily
absorbable
terms.
Last
year,
this
time
this
date
we
had
five
thousand
one
hundred
thirty
six
fires,
only
burning
152
thousand
acres
again
this
year,
three
point:
four
million
acres
close
to
eight
thousand
fires,
I'll
remind
you
that
it
was
a
month
ago
yesterday
that
we
started
experiencing
the
impacts
of
some
well.
Nearly
fourteen
thousand
lightning
strikes.
C
It
was
a
month
ago
yesterday
that
we
can
mark
that
we
have
now
burnt
just
in
the
last
31
days
or
so
2.8
million
acres
and
have
had
a
tragic
loss
of
25
lives
and
thousands
of
structures
again
unprecedented
number
of
lightning
strikes.
C
Of
course,
august
was
unprecedented
in
terms
of
heat
record
level,
record
recorded
heat
in
the
state
of
california,
including
130
degrees
down
in
death
valley,
which
may,
as
they
analyze
it
more
closely,
may
be
a
world
breaking
record
130
degrees
here
in
the
state
of
california
hottest
august
in
our
history.
C
C
We
still
have
38
000,
plus
people
that
have
been
evacuated
and
again
over
3.4
million
acres
have
burned
to
date,
still
battling
these
wildfires
over
17
000,
firefighters
over
2200
engines,
a
mutual
aid
system
that
comes
not
only
within
the
state
but
83
engines.
Now
that
have
come
from
outside
of
the
state,
including
some
60
engines
from
the
state
of
texas,
and
I
want
to
thank
governor
abbott
for
his
extraordinary
support.
C
He
has
been
incredibly
responsive
for
now
months
here
in
the
state,
but
in
particular
is
really
helping
us
with
that
creek
fire,
which
I'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
in
a
moment.
It
just
gives
you
an
indication
example
of
a
mutual
aid
system
that
knows
no
politics
and
that
spans
not
only
to
states
along
the
west
coast
and
places
like
texas,
but
includes
new
jersey,
governor
murphy
picked
up
the
phone
and
he
sent
three
engines
from
new
jersey.
C
We
had
firefighters,
10
from
israel
and
had
the
privilege
of
talking
to
prime
minister
trudeau,
who
is
sent
out
under
their
mutual
aid
system,
100
plus
firefighters,
to
help
support
our
efforts,
in
addition
to
all
of
those
other
states,
again,
25
fatalities
to
date
and
what
we
know
based
upon
our
analysis
as
we
get
back
in
and
we
repopulate
areas
4200
and
that's
why
we
say
plus,
because
we
anticipate
this
number
to
grow,
but
4200
structures
so
far
have
been
destroyed
because
of
these
latest
fires.
C
C
This
is
an
area
where
we
are
experiencing
uniquely
challenging
conditions.
You
see
220
000,
acres
of
burned,
18,
current
containment.
The
challenge
with
this
fire
in
particular
is
the
fact
that
we
are
battling
this
fire
impacted
explicitly
or
rather
specifically,
fire.
That's
been
impacted
by
the
drought
that
we
experienced
between
2005
with
intensity
through
2015.
C
Arguably
that
ended
in
2017
that
historic
drought
led
to
163
million
dead
trees.
These
beetle
trees
beetle
dead
trees.
These
trees
have
fallen.
These
trees
act
as
kindling.
These
trees
are
dry.
You
have
climate
induced
challenges
that
we
have.
You
have
millions
tens
of
millions
of
trees
in
these
forests
and
obviously
that
is
a
recipe
for
very
challenging
conditions
and
often
those
conditions
lead
to
what
we
are
now
referring
to
over
and
over
again
as
mega
fires,
and
so
the
creek
fire
remains
top
of
mind
top
of
concern.
C
We
were
out
there
with
the
u.s
forest
services,
primarily
on
federal
land.
I'll,
remind
you,
57
percent
of
the
forested
land
in
the
state
of
california
close
to
60
percent
is
federal
area
responsibility,
just
3
percent,
just
3
percent
in
state
areas
of
responsibility.
So
we
talk
about
forest
fires,
we're
predominantly
talking
about
the
need
for
partnership
with
the
federal
government,
that's
foundational,
and
that
partnership
is
advanced.
C
The
us
forest
service,
the
incident
command
at
the
creek
fire,
is
a
partnership
between
cal
fire,
our
state
agency
and
the
u.s
federal
forest
service,
which
again
is
advancing
a
collaborative,
a
new
stewardship
framework
which
will
be
very
promising
moving
forward,
but
is
also
critical
in
terms
of
our
suppression
efforts.
The
north
complex
fire,
it's
another
fire
we
visited
48
hours
ago
for
the
second
time
in
a
week,
this
fire
has
been
the
most
devastating.
C
In
this
respect,
you
see
the
number
of
acres
273
000,
which
is
substantial,
representing
the
largest
or
sixth
largest
wildfire
in
terms
of
acreage
lost
in
california,
history
and
by
the
way
the
creek
is
the
12th
largest
in
california
history.
But
the
devastation
of
the
north
complex
in
and
around
butte
plumus
and
lassen
county
is
the
15
lives
that
have
been
lost
that
we
know
of
to
date.
C
Just
in
this
complex,
which
is
obviously
devastating-
and
I
just
want
to
express
our
deepest
condolences
to
the
families
that
have
lost
loved
ones
and
to
heroism
of
our
first
responders
that
have
been
out
there
doing
their
best
to
support
evacuation
efforts
to
work
with
local
sheriffs
and
local
first
responders
to
support
folks
moving
into
safe
locations,
as
these
fires
rage
this
again
just
36
percent
contained
to
date.
C
This
relates
to
fires
that
have
been
active
for
some
time.
I
reminded
you
a
week
or
so
ago
on
the
8th
of
september
that
one
of
the
largest
complexes
in
history
of
the
state,
the
lnu
complex
it
was
91
contained
375
000
acres.
Today,
they've
made
even
more
containment
up
to
97
and
you're,
starting
to
see
that
amount
of
acreage
decline.
The
csu
this
is
the
forest
fire.
If
you
were
ever
in
doubt
about
climate
change,
just
consider
the
czu
complex.
C
This
is
what
they
refer
to
as
a
fire
that
has
occurred
in
an
asbestos
forest.
C
This
is
a
coastal
fire,
predominantly
along
the
coast,
where
you
have
coastal
conditions
that
have
led
to
some
of
the
most
majestic
living
well
living
trees
in
the
planet,
trees
that
go
back
in
some
cases,
2
000
years,
these
majestic
redwoods
in
a
redwood
forest
that
goes
down
to
the
coast.
We
had
a
24-hour
period
where
44
000
acres
were
burned
in
just
a
24
hour
period
along
the
coast.
C
Again,
if
you
were
ever
in
doubt
about
climate
impacts,
as
it
relates
to
these
forest
fires,
just
consider
in
this
asbestos
forest
that
kind
of
fire
activity
that
ccu
complex
is
beyond
just
that
immediate
area,
but
nonetheless
we're
seeing
better
containment
today
than
we
did
last
week,
93
containment,
the
august
fire,
the
largest
in
california,
history
that
complex
it
continues
to
grow.
It
was
356
000
acres.
Last
week,
it's
817
acres
this
week.
C
A
lot
of
that
is
brush,
not
just
forest
fire,
a
lot
of
grass
fire
as
well,
but
nonetheless,
the
containment
has
been
stubborn,
a
little
bit
of
progress,
but
you
can
see
that
acreage
growth
has
been
rather
substantial.
Another
area
of
concern
I
wanted
to
highlight
is
l.a
county
bobcat
fire
zero
percent
containment.
This
is
getting
a
lot
of
attention
for
good
reasons:
a
stubborn
fire,
difficult
challenging
conditions
in
l.a,
county
8,
500
acres,
zero
percent
containment.
C
Last
week
it
has
grown
to
44
000
acres,
just
three
percent
contained
this
week
as
we
pull
back
and
we
see
containment
on
a
number
of
these
larger
complex
and
we
are
making
progress
not
just
on
the
lnu
and
the
czu
which
you
saw,
but
the
scu
complex
and
number
of
other
the
oak
and
willow
complexes
where
we've
seen
substantial
containment.
We're
now
allowed
rather
able
to
put
more
resources
on
these
other
fires,
including
the
bobcat
fire
in
la
county
and
speaking
of
county
san,
diego
county
challenged
with
the
valley
fire.
C
Last
week,
three
percent
containment.
We
have
made
tremendous
progress
on
that
fire,
maintaining
the
acreage
at
17
000
today,
90
containment
versus
three.
It's
a
point
of
reference
with
all
of
these
that
real
progress
is
be
has
been
made,
is
being
made,
and
that's
the
heroism
of
these
incredible
firefighters,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
public
by
the
way
you
travel
around
the
state.
All
of
those
wonderful
signs.
I
met
with
a
number
of
firefighters
with
senator
harris
yesterday
in
fresno,
and
it's
not
lost
on
any
of
us.
How
impactful
it
is.
C
C
It
makes
a
big
difference
to
their
morale
and
it's
just
a
point
of
pride
as
governor
to
see
that,
and
so
it's
just
a
point,
a
personal
privilege.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
and
thank
members
of
the
public
for
expressing
that
sentiment
as
much
as
they
have
and
you've
seen
it
all
over
the
state.
But
it
was
really
in
particular,
visibly
visible
all
around
that
creek
fire
in
fresno
county
yesterday
eldorado.
C
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
a
number
of
these
complexes
are
no
longer
on
our
list
of
major
complexes
because
of
the
suppression
and
because
of
the
containment
that
has
been
done
and
it's
just
testament
to
cal
fire
and
the
mutual
aid
system
and
all
the
hard
work.
The
stubborn,
hard
work
that
includes
hand,
crews
and
others
out
there
on
the
front
lines.
C
So
if
the
weather
can
continue
to
hold
potential
precipitation
in
northern
california
up
and
around
the
oregon
border,
which
may
help
us
with
the
siskiyou
fire
and
some
other
fires
in
that
county,
that
is
potentially
very
relieving
and
point
of
some
optimism
as
we
move
forward.
Speaking
of
some
optimism,
we
are
moving
forward
in
seeing
a
decline
in
the
rate
of
spread
and
transmission
of
covet
19..
C
You
can
see
here
september
15,
2950,
positive
cases,
we're
reporting
a
seven
day,
average
down
to
3
348
significant
nonetheless,
but
a
seven
day
average
that
is
substantially
lower
than
we've
seen
in
a
number
of
months
in
this
state
we
are
turning
the
corner
and
suppressing
this
latest
increase
in
the
case
growth
rate
of
covet
19..
You
can
see
that
specifically
on
the
positivity
rate
chart,
which
many
of
you
are
very
familiar
with
we're
starting
to
see
our
testing
come
back,
getting
closer
to
100,
plus
thousand
average
number
of
daily
tests.
C
I'll
remind
you,
we're
a
number
of
weeks
out
for
our
new
perkins
elder
partnership
to
come
into
shape,
where
we
will
substantially
be
start
to
increase
the
total
number
of
daily
tests.
We're
not
backing
off
on
our
commitment
to
increase
the
total
daily
tests.
We
want
to
substantially
increase
the
total
daily
volume.
We've
been
stressed
the
last
three
weeks,
however,
by
these
fires
that
have
impacted
a
lot
of
our
mobile
testing
sites.
C
Those
numbers
over
the
seven
day
period
are
just
shy
of
that
hundred
thousand
gold,
but
nonetheless
the
positivity
rate
is
also
declining
at
3.6
over
14-day
period
and
at
3.6
percent
over
the
last
seven
days
so
positivity
rate
in
the
state
of
california,
down
to
3.6
statewide,
both
on
the
seven-day
average
and
the
14-day
average.
We
continue
to
see
real
progress
with
hospitalizations
down
22
percent
over
a
14-day
period.
C
You
can
see
from
this
chart
that
that
represents
4
now
of
our
total
health
care
system
capacity,
number
of
people
with
covet
19
in
our
hospitals,
as
relates
to
icus,
also
22
decrease
in
icu
patients.
Over
the
last
14
days
in
our
icu
critical
care
capacity,
total
number
of
covet
positive
patients
represents
10
again
substantially
down
from
numbers.
We
have
seen
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
months,
what's
also
down
on
the
number
of
counties
that
are
in
these
purple
tears.
I'm
going
to
ask
dr
galley
to
come
up
in
a
moment.
C
He
highlighted
yesterday
in
his
zoom
presentation
the
status
of
our
counties
as
it
relates
to
what
tier
these
counties
are
in.
When
we
last
updated
you,
we
had
33
counties
in
purple,
14
in
red
we
announced.
Yesterday
dr
galley
announced
that
we
went
from
33
counties
in
purple
to
30
counties
went
from
14
counties
in
red,
the
next
tier
up
to
17
counties.
We
anticipate
the
number
of
orange
and
yellow
counties
growing
next
week,
as
we
will
be
three
weeks
into
this
near
to
new
tiered
strategy.
C
This
dynamic
process
that
we
put
together
as
it
relates
to
this
new
tiered
plan
we're
sticking
to
it
we're
committed
to
it
over
the
long
run.
But
dr
galley
can
speak
more
specifically
about
where
we
are
where
he
thinks
things
are
going
over
the
next
week
or
so
doctor.
D
D
I
appreciate
health
officers
in
the
small
counties,
the
supervisors
other
non-elected
leaders
in
those
counties
having
those
detailed
conversations
with
us.
So
we
get
it
right.
We
make
sure
we
have
the
data.
So
as
we
stick
to
the
plan,
the
slow
stringent
plan
counties
staying
in
a
tier
for
at
least
three
weeks,
consistent
data
of
the
lower
tier
for
at
least
two
weeks
consecutive
weeks
before
they
move
that
we
do
that
with
the
level
of
responsibility
and
accountability
that
we
expect.
D
I
know
that
there
was
a
great
deal
of
conversation
about
san
diego
county
county,
that
a
large
county
that
moved
to
red
fairly
quickly
from
the
purple
tier
that
we
have
been
in
active
conversation
about
their
number.
Some
of
the
data
elements
that
help
us
make
accurate
calculations
and,
as
we
look
forward
to
next
week,
the
potential
that
san
diego
county
meets
for
two
consecutive
weeks.
The
need
to
go
to
a
more
restrictive
tier.
If
that's,
what
the
data
shows?
That's
what
the
state
is
going
to
expect.
D
We
anticipate
working
hard
with
their
health
leaders,
their
other
leaders
in
the
county
to
make
sure
that
that
data
is
accurate.
But
if
that's
what
it
shows,
that's
what
we
will
expect
of
not
just
san
diego
county,
but
all
counties
in
the
pursuit
of
making
sure
that
we
stick
to
this
slow
stringent
plan.
D
That
we
get
through
flu
season
that
we
get
into
winter
and
we
allow
ourselves
the
the
sort
of
runway
to
make
sure
that
our
health
system
is
prepared,
that
we
don't
see
sudden
surges
in
cases
and
that
we
really
follow
the
thoughtful
plan
that
we
have
put
out.
So
we
look
forward
to
continuing
those
updates
working
with
your
counties
and,
as
the
governor
said,
we're
reaching
levels
of
transmission
that
are
lower
than
we've
seen
in
many
months,
but
we
still
need
to
continue
to
keep
our
guard
up.
D
All
of
those
things
are
key
tools
that
we
see
more
and
more
evidence
of
helping
us
control
and
reduce
transmission.
So
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
give
the
updates,
hopefully
seeing
these
numbers
continue
to
come
down
as
we
march
through
this
process
into
fall
and
winter.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you
governor.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
doctor.
So
again,
as
dr
galley
said,
new
counties
that
were
added
to
the
red
tier
marin,
inyo
and
tehema
county
based
upon
the
progress
based
upon
the
data
that
we're
seeing
in
many
other
counties.
We
expect
more
counties
to
be
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
look
forward
next
week
to
updating
this
tiered
status
database
and
providing
you
even
more
clarity
on
where
we
believe
we're
going.
But,
as
dr
galley
said,
it
is
absolutely
foundational
to
learn
the
lessons
from
4th
of
july
memorial
day
weekend
from
the
experiences
of
the
past.
C
C
C
Take
a
look
at
the
cdc
director's
comments
today
about
the
power
and
importance
of
wearing
a
mask
wearing
a
face
covering
again
importance
of
physically
distancing,
as
we
start
to
modify
these
stay-at-home
orders
as
we
move
into
new
tiers
the
likelihood
of
people
mixing
outside
of
their
family
cohorts
or
household
courts.
Cohorts
increases.
That's
why
the
mask
wearing
is
so
foundational
and
maintaining
your
proximity
to
others
in
a
way.
C
That's
safe
as
it
relates
to
mitigating
the
spread
of
this
disease,
always
doing
the
work
on
hygiene
and
again
minimizing
the
extent
possible,
mixing
more
broadly
when
you're
out
and
about
doing
the
things
that
all
of
us
need
to
do
to
live
our
lives.
So
that's
it
broad
strokes!
That's
update
where
we
are
in
the
wildfires
update
where
we
are,
as
relates
to
our
covet
response,
as
always
we're
happy
to
take
now
any
questions.
E
A
couple
of
questions
about
the
unemployment
strike
team
that
you
formed
on
july
29th.
When
you
formed
the
team,
you
said
that
they
would
deliver
a
road
map
of
short,
mid
and
long-term
solutions
within
45
days.
C
We've
been
working
to
make
real-time
adjustments,
real-time
amendments,
we've
kept
you
abreast
of
those
for
now
90
to
120
days,
as
it
relates
to
the
specific
report.
We
are
just
days
away
from
making
public
that
report
full
transparency.
C
That
report
is
all
but
done,
but
what
I
wanted
to
see,
which
is
not
yet
complete
and
will
be
quite
literally
in
the
next
few
days,
is.
I
want
to
see
the
response
to
the
question
you
just
asked
and
that's
the
response
from
edd
what
they're
going
to
do
with
these
recommendations,
the
short-term,
medium
and
long-term
recommendations.
C
We
need
more
specificity,
more
detail
in
the
edd
response
to
those
recommendations,
but
I
want
to
thank
the
work
that
has
been
done.
Tremendous
amount
of
work
that
has
gone
into
this
effort,
we're
blessed
as
it
relates
to
the
co-chairs
of
this
task
force
to
have
the
insight
and
expertise
of
someone
who
I
I've
been
remiss
not
to
highlight
and
that's
jen
polka
started
code
for
america
also
worked
in
the
obama
administration
to
bring
private
sector
technology
and
best
practices
to
bear
in
terms
of
government
operations.
C
She
joined
as
co-chair
with
this
task
force,
to
help
us
make
recommendations
and
to
advance
some
of
our
efforts
on
transparency
and
technological
improvements.
So
she
and
the
rest
of
the
team
have
done.
Tremendous
amount
of
work.
Edd
is
responding
in
kind
to
those
efforts
and
we
will
be
responding
to
your
cure
query
in
question.
In
the
next
few
days,.
F
C
C
C
C
For
me,
for
my
wife
and
those
that
that
are
supporting
us,
and
so
it's
a
very
challenging
challenging
time
and
my
deep
empathy
and
deep
understanding
of
parents
out
there,
millions
of
you
that
are
struggling
with
similar
experiences,
and
that
is
why
it
is
so
fundamental
so
foundational
that
we
succeed
in
maintaining
the
progress
we've
made
in
reducing
the
transmission
of
this
disease.
C
3.6
positivity
rate
is
encouraging,
but
we've
got
to
hold
the
line,
and
that
means
doing
the
things
that
we
have
done
over
the
last
few
months
to
bend
that
curve
and
those
transmission
rates.
The
minute
we
pull
back,
we
can
start
seeing
those
rates,
go
back
up,
pushing
us
further
and
further
away
from
getting
our
kids
back
where
they
belong
and
that's
with
in-person
instruction
to
deal
not
only
with
academic
needs,
but
social
emotional
needs
which
are
so
foundational
to
our
children's
development.
C
G
Governor
wanted
to
ask
about
college
football.
The
big
ten
conference
announced
today
that
new
rapid
testing
protocols
are
going
to
allow
its
programs
to
move
forward
all
season.
There's
a
group
of
usc
players
who
support
doing
the
same
thing
in
the
pac-12.
They
send
you
a
letter,
noting
that
the
conference
has
a
similar
partnership
for
granted
testing,
but
state
guidance
prohibits
teams
from
practicing
in
groups
of
more
than
a
dozen,
which
obviously
makes
football
possible.
C
It
well
we
put
out
guidelines
a
month
or
so
ago,
and
we
aligned
them.
We
worked
with
the
nc2a
and
we
aligned
them
with
the
nc2a
there's
nothing
in
the
state
guidelines
that
denies
the
pac-12
from
having
conference
games.
There's
nothing
in
our
guidelines.
The
state
put
out
that
denies
these
games
from
occurring.
We
put
out
very,
I
thought,
thoughtful
guidelines
and
again
partnership
with
the
nc2a
about
cohorting
during
workouts
and
practices.
C
Now
this
manifests
very
differently
depending
on
the
sport,
basketball,
co-horting
of
up
to
12,
maybe
a
little
easier
than
football
up
to
12,
but
offensive
teams,
defensive
teams
are
able
to
coordinate
and
practice
and
the
like-
and
so
I
want
to
make
this
crystal
clear.
Nothing
in
the
state
guidelines
deny
the
ability
for
the
pac-12
to
resume.
Quite
the
contrary.
C
That
has
been
a
misrepresentation
of
the
facts,
but
what
is
accurate,
and
I
appreciate
the
frame
of
your
question
that
the
nc2a
has
made
progress
pac-10,
which
will
be
resuming
at
least
based
on
their
announcement
on
october.
23Rd
they've
made
a
lot
of
progress
on
testing.
That
was
one
of
the
foundational
principles
that
we
put
forward
with
our
guidance,
a
lot
of
antigen
tests.
We
also
need
some
pcr
tests
and
we
are
working
with
the
not
only
nc2a
but
with
pac-12
in
this
space.
C
I
talked
to
larry
scott
about
two
hours
ago
and
so
we're
committed
to
working
with
the
pac-12
working
with
the
nc2a
to
keep
our
kids
safe,
to
keep
our
coaches
safe,
to
keep
the
coaching
staff
and
friends
and
families
safe
and
to
keep
the
larger
campus
community
safe.
Remember
these
are
student
athletes,
they're
not
isolated
in
a
bubble
as
some
of
our
nba
superstars
are.
They
need
to
be
integrated
in
one
way,
shape
or
form
with
an
academic
paradigm.
By
definition,
that's
what
student
athletes
athletes
are
supposedly
all
about.
C
That's
a
deeper
issue
for
all
of
us
is
to
make
sure
that
the
academic
rigor
is
such
that
we're
doing
justice
to
that
paradigm
and
principle,
but
nonetheless
there
is
nothing
in
those
state
guidelines
to
deny
these
games
from
resuming
so
once
again,
look
forward
to
working
as
we
have
been
in
a
constructive
dialogue
with
the
pac-12
and
nc2a
on
testing
issues.
Again,
good
progress
in
that
space
and
as
it
relates
to
cohorting,
we
are
certainly
willing
to
engage
and
have
now
engaged
the
pac-12
in
that
discussion
as
well.
G
Hi
governor
you've
talked
about
looking
at
a
community
holistically
in
determining
whether
businesses
can
reopen
in
san
diego,
where
the
rate
of
infection
has
risen.
Recently,
officials
are
lobbying
to
exclude
college
students
from
the
county's
overall
infection
rate,
but
most
of
those
students
and
staff
live
in
the
community.
Would
you
consider
special
exceptions
like
the
one
sought
in
san
diego.
C
No,
I
thought
you
framed
the
question
appropriately
as
it
relates
to
community
spread,
as
it
remains
to
what
a
community,
by
definition,
and
that
is
integrated
individuals
and,
as
a
consequence,
you
can't
isolate
as
if
it's
on
an
island,
a
campus
community
that
is
part
of
the
larger
community.
So
the
answer
is
no.
G
I
have
a
fairly
similar
question
to
that
san
diego,
particularly
if
they
move
into
that
more
restrictive.
Pier
next
week,
we've
been
doing
a
fair
amount
of
fluctuating
between
more
and
less
restricted
tiers
in
the
last.
Not
so
long
are
you
concerned
about
the
ability
of
businesses
to
navigate
that
type
of
whiplash,
as
they
sort
of
move
back
and
forth
between
different
restrictions
on
their
ability.
C
To
operate
absolutely
as
a
former
business
person
myself,
the
answer
is
absolutely
I'm
concerned
about
that
and
that's
why
it's
incumbent
upon
local
health
officials,
local
leaders,
to
do
everything
they
can
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
this
disease.
We
put
out
a
framework.
We
work
with
local
health
officers
all
across
the
state
to
put
out
this
new,
tiered
stratus
status,
we're
guided
by
the
data
and,
if
you
can
see
to
it
all
of
us
in
every
community
across
the
state
in
every
county
city
across
the
state,
continue
to
make
progress.
Stubborn
progress,
it's
necessary.
C
But
absolutely
that
concerns
me
as
a
former
businessman
myself,
someone
that
is
deeply
steeped
and
understanding
the
challenges
that
restaurants
have
and
retail
have
having
owned,
restaurants
and
retail
in
the
past,
and
so
I
am
deeply
sensitive
to
that
and
obviously
hope
we
can
make
progress,
not
just
in
san
diego
but
across
the
state,
to
continue
to
mitigate
the
spread
and
continue
to
move
positively
through
these
tiers,
not
back
and
forth,
between
tears.
G
Hi
governor,
you
sent
out
a
fundraising
email
yesterday
touting
your
confrontation
with
president
trump
on
climate
change,
but
it
was
a
rather
soft
one
in
which
you
basically
agreed
to
disagree
and
ask
him
to
respect
your
difference
of
opinion
on
how
climate
change
was
contributing
to
the
fires.
G
This
is
this
kind
of
it's
a
pattern
in
which
you
not
directly
confronted
him
on
these
issues.
When
you
have
the
chance
face
to
face,
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
speak
about-
why
you've
taken
that
tax.
C
We
did
that
very
very
directly
in
the
presence
of
the
present
united
states,
so
respectfully
our
positions
are
well
advanced,
not
only
privately
but
very
publicly,
and
certainly
in
that
instance,
we'll
continue
to
assert
ourselves
as
a
state
leading
the
nation
in
low-carbon
green
growth
goals,
goals
that
I
think
need
to
be
modified
based
upon
the
current
conditions
that
we're
experiencing
in
the
reality
of
climate
change,
the
smash
mouth
reality
of
climate
change,
droughts,
mega
fires
and
the
heat
waves
that
we're
experiencing
heat
domes,
not
just
here
in
the
state
but
throughout
the
western
united
states.
C
G
Thank
you,
governor
a
little
bit
more
on
that
topic.
I
mean
it
was
quite
a
difference
in
the
days
between
your
meeting
with
president
trump
and
then
your
meeting
with
senator
harris,
I'm
wondering
if
you
will,
when
you
talk
to
president
trump,
if
you
felt
heard
on
the
climate
issue
and
if
not,
what
do
you
think
are
the
consequences
for.
C
C
I
in
particular,
have
been
very
aggressive
in
our
efforts
on
vehicle
emission
standards
working
with
large
automobile
manufacturers
directly
to
undermine
the
president's
efforts
to
vandalize
the
progress
that
was
made
under
the
obama
administration
on
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
increasing
our
miles
gallon
per
gallon
standards
by
decreasing
the
cost
at
the
gas
pump.
We've
worked
with
ford
and
many
others
to
advance
that
cause.
We
just
led
the
nation
yet
again
on
our
efforts
to
provide
for
zero
emission
heavy-duty
trucks.
C
We
have
15
states
that
joined
a
coalition
in
this
space,
so
the
consequences
are
real,
but
I'm
asserting
a
point
to
you
in
the
frame
of
your
question
that,
despite
the
work
we're
doing
against
the
administration
in
our
litigation
strategy,
we're
still
making
progress
underneath
all
of
that
working
at
a
sub
national
level
and
working
with
private
sector
to
advance
this
collective
cause.
C
So,
while
we're
discouraged
on
one
hand,
we're
not
diminished
in
terms
of
our
capacity
as
a
state
as
large
as
ours
that
punches
above
its
weight
and
our
ability
to
advance
this
cause
accordingly,
I
was
with
senator
harris
yesterday
promoting
the
candidacy,
not
only
her
candidacy,
but
vice
president
biden's
candidacy.
I
think
the
most
determinative
thing
will
be
advanced
in
november
as
it
relates
to
this
collective
effort-
and
I
say,
collective
because
california
is
involved
with
the
u.s
climate
alliance.
C
C
We
have
a
pacific
coast
collaborative
with
oregon
and
washington,
where
we've
been
very
forceful
and
aligned
in
our
low-carbon
green
growth
strategies,
and
just
today
I
had
a
conference
with
premier
of
south
africa
and
with
the
vice
chancellor
of
excuse
me,
the
vice
premier
of
scotland,
talking
about
our
mou
under
two,
where
we
have
220
jurisdictions
representing
43
percent,
the
world's
gdp
that
has
advanced
the
cause
that
california's
admitted
to,
and
that
is
to
substitute
the
lack
of
resolve
and
leadership
on
climate
change
and
advance
the
principles
of
the
paris
accords.
C
I'll
just
close
on
this
final
point.
California
population
is
larger
than
163
of
the
196
nations
that
signed
those
paris
accords.
We
are
committed
to
the
paris
accord
and
we
do
so
from
a
position
of
real
strength
and
real
influence,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
maintain
that
strength
and
that
influence,
despite
whatever
disagreements
we
have
with
the
current
administration,
but
as
it
relates
to
the
final
point,
and
forgive
me
for
being
so
long-winded
to
the
first
part
of
your
question,
do
I
think
we
were
hurt
yeah.
C
I
do
think
we
were
heard
and
I
think
there's
a
way
of
approaching
people.
Good
people
can
disagree
and
I
maintain
that
we
are
making
progress
and,
to
the
extent
we're
being
heard.
I
believe
we
are
and
to
the
extent
that
I
expect
the
president
united
states
to
radically
change
course.
No,
I
do
not,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
be
stubborn.
I
imagine
he
will
be
as
well
in
his
point
of
view,
but
as
I
say,
it's
not
a
belief
system,
data,
science
or
not
beliefs.
C
You
have
to
acknowledge
facts
and
we'll
continue
not
just
to
assert
our
own
set
of
facts
but
readily
available
facts
that
are
in
evidence
and
align
ourselves.
Not
with
that
belief,
but
that
understanding
of
what
those
facts
are
producing
in
the
reality
on
the
ground,
particularly
in
a
state
like
california,.
G
All
right,
thank
you.
Governor
dr
galley
yesterday
spoke
of
introducing
a
new
metric
for
the
tiers,
a
health
equity
metric.
Are
you
in
a
position
to
shed
some
light
on
what
that
standard
would
be
and
when
it
would
take
effect,
and
also,
if
I
may,
if
you
could,
give
us
just
a
little
more
specificity
on
what
exactly
has
to
happen
before
the
fact
12
can
resume
football.
C
Thank
you.
Well,
they
can
resume
football
there's
nothing
in
the
guidelines
that
say
that
pac-12
cannot
move
forward
period
full
stop.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
crystal
clear
as
it
relates
to
dr
galley
introducing
something
he
introduced.
Something
yesterday
introduced
something
a
number
of
weeks
back
when
we
put
out
the
new
tiered
status.
One
of
the
first
slides
we
presented
was
on
the
equity
question.
The
question,
of
course,
is
one
left
better
for
dr
galley
to
answer
than
I,
but
nonetheless,
equity
is
foundational.
In
this
respect.
C
We
don't
want
people
to
game
the
system.
We
don't
want
people
to
under
test.
We
don't
want
people
just
to
test
asymptomatic
people,
so
they
can
gain
the
outcome
so
that
they
can
move
forward
with
blinders
on
not
a
real
understanding
of
community
spread,
and
so
that's
the
foundational
principle
of
equity.
It's
about
more
transparency
in
terms
of
testing
protocols
and
it's
about
a
socio-economic
framework.
D
Thanks
again
governor
and
thanks
for
the
question,
yes,
yesterday,
we
highlighted
again
the
equity
measure
and
the
determination
and
the
the
focus
of
the
state
to
really
advance
a
measure
that
leaves
no
communities
behind.
We
mentioned
this.
The
very
first
day
we
launched
the
framework.
We
said,
then
that
we
continue
to
work
with
our
counties
to
make
sure
we
choose
a
measure
that
reflects
really
the
entirety
of
california.
D
We're
going
to
be
asking
counties
to
focus
on
this,
even
more
than
many
of
them
have
already
they've
made
tremendous
progress
in
in
many
ways
many
counties
have,
but
we
expect
more.
We
still
see
counties
where
test
positivity
is
really
high
in
some
of
their
communities
and
much
lower
in
others,
and
that
follows
the
theme
of
disproportionately
impacted
communities,
latino
communities,
black
communities,
other
communities
that
we
distinguish
and
can
identify
and
that
we
don't
want
to
see
any
community
left
behind.
We
want
the
focus
to
be
all
of
government.
D
So
we
continue
to
work
with
the
the
counties
to
make
sure
we
choose
something
that
really
does
get
to
this
equity
issue
and
as
we
have
those
conversations,
thoughtful
conversations
with
electeds
other
health
officers
and
health
leaders
in
those
communities
and
other
californians
have
been
thinking
about
health
health
equity.
For
a
long
time.
We
expect
to
share
that
with
you.
D
C
These
firefighters
are
doing
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
these
large
fire
complexes,
wildfire
complexes
all
throughout
the
state
of
california,
and
also
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
the
good
work
you've
done
over
the
last
couple
of
months
to
mitigate
the
spread,
in
this
case
of
covet
19,
to
get
our
numbers
below
4
to
see
some
stability
over
a
14-day
period
at
3.6
percent
positivity.
If
we
continue
down
that
path,
we'll
continue
to
make
progress
on
reopening
more
fully
our
economy
and
getting
our
schools
to
reopen
as
well
safely.
