Almost
in
partnership
with
our
local
government
entities
and
also
in
parallel
so
create
materials
to
translate
materials
and
really
working
almost
in
partnership
with
our
local
government
entities
and
also
in
parallel.
So
we
are
so
fortunate
to
be
a
part
of
the
covid
equity
project,
a
project
that
is
supported
by
the
city
of
fresno,
the
county
of
fresno.
We
work
with
incredible
partners
like
cultiva
la
salud,
jacara
movement,
fresno,
building,
healthy
communities
as
central
valley,
health
policy
institute
and
I'm
for
getting
one,
because
I'm
nervous,
please
cut
that
out.
C
C
For
short,
we
are,
we
know
that
farm
workers
and
our
small
farmers
are
essential
parts
of
our
community,
and
so
we
are
so
excited
that
we
can
be
a
part
of
the
solution
to
making
sure
that
vaccines
get
in
their
arms
so
that
we
can
protect
to
protect
our
elders,
protect
our
growers,
the
small
farm
growers
and
all
of
our
farm
workers
that
are
so
important
to
our
community.
C
Thank
you
again
for
being
here.
It
is
my
great
honor
to
introduce
our
council
member,
who
represents
us
here.
Nelson
esparza,
he
yeah
he's
here
to
talk
to
you,
welcome
to
firm.
Thank
you.
D
Good
morning,
folks,
I'm
city
council,
member,
nelson
esparza,
I
have
the
great
privilege
of
representing
central
fresno
and
southeast
fresno
and
it's
my
distinct
pleasure
to
join
our
state
leaders
this
morning
right
here
in
my
district,
I
represent
one
of
the
communities
in
fresno
that
is
the
most
impacted
and
the
most
vulnerable
to
cope
at
19.,
a
hot
spot
within
a
hot
spot.
D
If
you
will,
you
know,
given
the
san
joaquin
valley's
role
as
an
epicenter
here
in
our
state
during
this
pandemic
today
we're
standing
at
fresno,
interdenominational
refugee
ministries
on
the
campus,
and
we
could
not
be
more
grateful.
That's
a
firm,
we'll
call
him
firm
for
short
firm
for
the
role
they
play
as
a
community
resource
day
in
and
day
out,
not
only
here
in
central
fresno,
and
not
only
for
our
southeast
asian
brothers
and
sisters,
but
really
for
for
fresno
as
a
whole.
D
I
would
say
that
firm
has
stepped
up
and
really
really
been
a
tremendous
resource.
During
this
pandemic,
they've
stepped
up
and
hosted
the
ucsf
covet
19.
D
equity
project,
which,
by
the
way,
ucsf
fresno,
is
another
gem
within
our
district.
But
I
digress
and
but
and
firm
is
also
now
stepping
up
to
serve
as
a
site
for
vaccinating
our
farm
workers
and
small
farmers.
So
to
them
we
say
a
great
thank
you,
and
it
goes
without
saying
that
these
essential
workers,
our
farmers
and
our
farm
workers,
especially
we
rely
on
to
keep
our
families
fed,
have
been
critical,
absolutely
critical.
D
They
have
kept
not
only
the
city
afloat
during
these
trying
times,
but
really
our
communities
all
across
california
and
the
nation.
If
I
might
add,
I
very
much
appreciate
the
governor's,
relentless
efforts
on
vaccine
distribution
and
the
tireless
work
of
his
administration
over
this
last
year
in
meeting
the
moment
and
keeping
our
community
safe.
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
my
own
representatives
that
represent
the
district
as
well
at
the
state
level,
dr
rambula
and
senator
otto,
and
for
working
with
the
administration
to
deliver
for
fresno
county.
D
E
E
I
appreciate
the
governor
and
my
colleagues
for
taking
action
earlier
this
week.
We
voted
on
a
7.6
billion
dollar
covid
relief
package
and
I'm
glad
that
the
governor
is
once
again
visiting
the
central
valley
to
show
that
we're
not
being
left
behind.
So
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
appreciate,
george
lopez,
being
here
too
getting
out
the
message,
but
we
know
we
can't
do
this
alone.
It's
not
just
elected
officials.
E
In
the
capitol,
but
it's
going
to
take
every
single
one
of
us
coming
together
to
get
past
this
pandemic,
and
that's
why
we
need
the
help
of
our
community-based
organizations.
We
need
word
to
word
person
to
person.
Just
people
talking
about
hey
it's
safe.
This
is
something
we
need
to
do
if
we
care
about
our
families,
we
care
about
our
community.
E
E
F
Yeah
so
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
robert
rivas,
represent
the
30th
assembly
district,
chair
of
assembly,
agriculture
and
vice
chair
of
the
california
latino
legislative
caucus
and
on
behalf
of
our
caucus.
I
want
to
thank
our
governor
for
inviting
all
of
us
here
today.
I
want
to
thank
the
frontline
healthcare
staff
who's
here
on
site.
F
We
want
to
thank
them
for
all
the
work
that
they're
doing
to
ensure
that
we're
vaccinating
our
most
vulnerable,
our
farm
workers
and
that
we're
keeping
them
safe.
You
know
this
past
year
has
been
incredibly
challenging,
for
our
country
has
been
incredibly
challenging
for
our
state.
F
You
know
this
pandemic
has
taken
a
toll
on
everybody
from
frontline
essential
workers
to
small
business
owners,
parents,
teachers,
students,
you
know-
and
this
week
it
was.
It
was
well
reported
that
our
state
here
in
california,
we've
hit
50
000
deaths
related
this
pandemic,
50
000
and
every
one
of
those
lost
lives
was
someone
with
a
family
and
with
friends,
family
and
and
and
friends
who
that
that
cared
about
them,
that
loved
them
and
those
losses
have
fallen
disproportionately
on
our
state's
latino,
black
and
native
american.
F
Our
residents
and
and
look
in
the
modern
history
of
california,
no
governor,
no
governor,
has
faced
a
crisis
like
this
one,
unexpected
statewide,
affecting
every
californian,
putting
unprecedented
strain
on
our
health
care
system
and
lasting
now
for
over
a
year
in
other
states,
you
have
some
governors
that
haven't
acknowledged
the
science
of
kelvin.
19
have
stepped
back
from
the
hard
work
of
leadership.
F
Ours
did
not,
and
governor
newsom
has
has
has
led,
with
an
unrelenting
focus
on
those
groups
most
affected
by
this
virus
and
time
after
time
he
has
stood.
He
stood
up
for
the
most
vulnerable
here
in
california,
and
I
am
I'm
particularly
grateful
for
the
way
that
the
governor
has
protected
our
farm
workers
and
governor.
F
I
can
tell
you
that
in
farm
worker
regions
in
this
state
those
communities,
your
support,
has
saved
lives
and,
as
we
have
seen
just
today
here
on
this
site,
this
effort
will
continue
to
save
lives
and
clearly
we
have
work
ahead
of
us
to
get
everyone
vaccinated,
as
was
mentioned
by
assemblymember
sales,
to
educate
all
of
our
farmworkers.
All
of
our
residents
in
this
state
the
benefits
of
being
vaccinated.
F
But
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work
to
get
california
back
to
normal,
but
the
end
of
this
dark
period,
in
my
opinion,
is
finally
finally
in
sight,
and
so
I
am
grateful
for
our
governor
for
his
leadership
and
to
everyone
here.
My
colleagues
at
the
state
level,
the
local
level
for
all
of
this
work
incredibly
important
work,
but
let's
keep
it
up
and
again
appreciate
the
invitation
to
be
here
and
want
to
introduce
and
and
welcome
this
region's
assembly
member
and
my
friend
and
colleague,
assemblymember
joaquin.
G
So
what
an
honor
to
be
here,
it
was
just
actually
a
few
short
weeks
ago
that
we
had
the
governor
come
and
if
you
remember,
we
had
maria
suarez
an
85
year
old
lady
who
was
our
five
millionth
person
who
we
vaccinated
as
a
state,
and
yet
here
we
are
just
a
few
short
weeks
later
back
in
fresno,
where
you're
paying
attention
to
communities
who
need
your
attention
right
now.
I
am
thankful
and
grateful
governor
for
your
continued
and
persistent
attention
to
the
central
san
joaquin
valley.
G
G
G
It
is
those
nursing
students
who
are
out
there
on
the
front
lines,
administering
those
vaccines
that
a
lot
are
allowing
us
to
start.
Having
hope-
and
it's
hope
that
I
want
to
talk
about
today,
because
over
the
last
two
weeks,
if
you're
here
in
fresno,
county
you've
started
to
see
our
almond
trees
start
blossoming
and
for
a
lot
of
us
who
have
gone
through
a
long
winter.
It's
those
blossoms.
G
That
start
to
give
us
hope,
and
what
we're
seeing
with
the
administration
of
this
vaccine
is
our
community
starting
to
have
hope
again
that
we
can
put
this
pandemic
behind
us
that
we
can
end
this
pandemic
together.
But
it
is
through
these
partnerships.
It
is
through
your
attention
and
it
is
through
your
continued
commitment
to
the
valley
that
we
have
that
hope.
G
So
it
is
with
a
deep
sense
of
gratitude,
appreciation
and
feeling
blessed
here
in
the
central
valley
that
I
wanted
to
welcome
you
back
and
make
sure
that
you
felt
it
from
all
of
us
here
about
your
continued
attention
and
how
important
it
is
to
us.
With
that.
I'd
like
to
invite
my
colleague
and
senator
from
the
14th
district
melissa
hurtado
to
the.
H
Stage
morning,
everyone
I
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
the
governor
for
once
again
coming
down
to
the
central
valley
here
to
fresno.
H
I
got
the
opportunity
the
first
opportunity
to
work
with
the
governor
two
years
ago,
as
we
were
running
for
office
both
at
the
same
time,
and
the
first
thing
that
really
struck
me
about
the
governor
is
how
attentive
he
is
to
people
how
willing
he
is
to
go
out
there
and
speak
to
members
of
the
community
to
listen
to
take
those
ideas
and
just
run
with
them,
and
I
know
that
here
in
the
valley,
everyone
that
you
see
here
today,
we've
been
bugging
him
quite
a
bit
and
that
but
he's
been
listening
and
he's
been
taking
action
and
he's
faced
circumstances.
H
Unlike
anybody
else.
This
is
a
very
unique
time
that
we're
all
facing
and
as
much
as
I'd
like
to
think
that
this
pandemic
is
near
over
the
reality
is
that
climate
change,
something
that
the
governor
has
been
talking
a
lot
about
is
going
to
bring
new
challenges,
and
you
know
within
that
is,
is
you
know,
healthcare
challenges,
but
here
in
the
central
valley
we
know
that.
That's
that's
something:
that's
not
it's
a
challenge!
We've
faced
for
quite
some
time.
H
I
know
my
a
good
colleague
from
the
southern
central
valley
assembly
member
sales
has
been
a
big
advocate
for
valley
fever,
which
is
also
very
deadly,
and
it's
spreading
even
more
and
more.
This
is
the
future
under
a
you
know,
globe
that
is
changing.
The
climate
is
changing,
and
so
we
need
to
adapt
to
those
new
and
challenging
circumstances,
and
I'm
just
excited
and
glad
that
we
have
someone
like
governor
newsom
that
listens
to
people.
H
That
is
not
afraid
to
go
out
there
and
and
talk
to
members
of
the
community
to
get
ideas
and
solutions
he's
very
innovative
he's.
He
knows
how
to
bring
people
together
and-
and
I
we
have
to
do
this
all
together,
because
we
will
only
overcome
climate
change
uniting
around
these
issues
that
that
we're
just
gonna
be
long
facing
into
the
near
future.
H
So
not
trying
to
be
a
debbie
downer
today,
but
the
reality
that's
the
reality,
and-
and
we
will
only
overcome
these
challenges
if
we
work
together,
because
it
never
helps
to
point
fingers
at
one
another
and-
and
I
we're
so
fortunate
that
we
have
great
leaders
here
in
the
central
valley
and
that
we
are
have
governor
newsom
leading
the
state,
because
I
know
that
things
are
going
to
turn
out
positive.
So
thank
you
once
again
governor
for
coming
on
out.
H
I
Well,
good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
anna
cavallo,
I'm
the
senator
for
the
12th
senate
district,
which
includes
the
salinas
valley,
san
benito
county,
merced
county
and
then
the
rural
agricultural
portions
of
stanislaus,
county,
madeira,
county
and
fresno
county.
And
I
I
tell
you
all
of
that,
because
the
principle,
the
principal
part
of
the
economy
of
this
entire
region,
is
agriculture
and-
and
it
is
a
tremendously
tremendous,
powerful
engine
that
that
drives
our
local
economies.
But,
more
importantly,
it
is
the
engine
that
feeds
the
country.
I
But
when
you
went
to
the
store
there
was
food
and
there
was
fresh
food
and
there
was
there
was
produce
from
this
region
that
kept
everybody
fed
during
one
of
the
worst,
not
only
economic
calamities.
This
country
has
seen
but
disease-wise
the
worst
pandemic
that
this
country
has
ever
seen.
But
the
reason
that
the
that
that
we
were
able
to
produce
and
to
make
sure
that
there
was
food
on
the
table
is
that
farmworkers
were
determined
to
be
essential
workers,
as
were
the
farmers
themselves,
and
they
stepped
up
to
the
plate.
I
They
went
to
work
every
day,
despite
the
fact
that
they
had
fears
and
concerns,
and
despite
the
fact
that
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
information
at
the
very
beginning
as
to
how
to
keep
yourself
safe,
safe
was
it
on
doorknobs.
Was
it
in
the
air?
Was
the
virus,
something
that
you
could
just
pass
in
a
handshake
or
a
cough?
We
just
didn't
know,
and
so
now,
hindsight
being
being
what
it
is.
I
What
we
know
is
that
farmworkers
were
devastated
because
some
of
their
work
conditions
and
some
of
their
housing
conditions
and
some
of
their
their
living
conditions
meant
that
they
that
they
were
the
most
at
risk
and
so
they've
paid
the
price
in
illness
and
in
death
higher
than
anyone
else.
But
but
in
that's
the
reality
on
on
on
the
street,
but
then
what
I
also
have
to
add
my
thanks
to
the
governor,
because
in
this
pandemic,
all
of
us-
and
you
probably
have
almost
80
90
of
the
valley
here
represented
today.
I
We're
going
to
need
ppe
we're
going
to
need
medical
resources
because
they're
lacking
in
rural
california,
transportation
resources
being
what
they
are
it's
hard
to
get
in
and
to
get
an
appointment,
and
so
it
took
a
it,
took
a
marshaling
of
resources
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
handle
the
situation
and
to
feel
like
like
there
was
help
on
the
way
and
that
there
was
hope
around
the
corner,
and
I
think
my
good
friend
dr
ambala
said
it.
Well.
I
Is
that
what
we
were
all
looking
for
was
hope
we
were
looking
for
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
We
were
looking
for
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
go
back
to
the
community
and
to
say:
look
here
are
resources
here
are
what
we
need
in
order
to
be
able
to
keep
ourselves
safe,
and
my
good
friend
from
bakersfield
talked
about
the
the
package
of
of
economic
relief
and
stimulus
that
we
just
got
through
through
passing.
I
If
you
look
at
that,
if
you
look
at
that
package,
it
is
tremendously
tremendously
responsive
to
the
issues
we've
been
talking
about.
There's
housing
for
the
harvest
and
there's
there's
wage
replacement
opportunities
there.
There
is
money
for,
for
undocumented
workers
that
have
been
working
but
are
are
still
poor.
I
There
are
all
kinds
of
relief
for
the
families
in
our
communities
and
that
wouldn't
have
happened,
but
for
the
governor
listening
for
him,
his
responding
to
the
issues
that
we
were
concerned
about
and
and
offering
a
a
way
to
be
able
to
make
it
happen.
I
So
we're
here
today
in
support,
but
we're
also
here
to
tell
our
our
families
help
is
on
the
way
we're
going
to
get
through
this
we're
going
to
get
through
this
together
at
a
time
when,
when
there's
a
lot
of
conflict
in
the
in
the
air
and
conflict
in
the
world
conflict
over
whether
this
was
even
a
real
virus.
I
We're
here
to
say,
there
is
a
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
We're
going
to
get
through
this,
and
these
vaccines
are
are,
are
the
hope
that
we
have
for
the
community
and
I'm
really
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
were.
We
were
able
to
bring
additional
vaccines
for
specifically
for
farm
workers
and
for
farmers,
because
the
season's
getting
ready
to
start
up
again
and
we
need
them
to
feel
safe.
We
need
them
to
feel
protected
and
and
to
know
that
we
care
about
them.
I
So
thank
you,
governor
on
on
behalf
of
all
of
us.
We,
we
see
us
as
a
team,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
you
come
down
here
as
many
times
as
possible.
We're
always
happy
to
see
you
and,
and
and
it's
the
hope
that
we
we
hope,
that
we're
we're
expressing
to
the
community
that
that
we're
here
and
we're
gonna
make
sure
we
get
the
the
vaccines
that
they
need.
I
J
Foundation
good
morning,
everyone
good
afternoon.
I
want
to
thank
the
governor
for
being
here
today
to
meet
with
the
central
valley
leaders.
The
dolores
huerta
foundation
is
partnering
through
the
california
kova
19
community
health
project
to
directly
reach
over
175
000
people
in
kern
to
larry
and
fresno
counties.
J
J
The
dolores
huerta
foundation
and
multiple
grassroots
organizations
are
looking
forward
to
partnering
with
the
state
and
hosting
vaccination
sites,
specifically
allocating
vaccines
for
farm
workers.
Only
by
partnering
with
community-based
organizations
will
we
ensure
that
those
most
impacted
by
this
crisis
will
be
reached
by
trusted
messengers.
J
K
Thank
you,
everybody.
I
have
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
out
here,
so
I
understand
how
important
everybody
who
works
in
this
area
is
all
the
farm
workers
and
all
the
people
who
get
up
every
day
and
go
to
work
with
just
a
little
bit
of
practically
no
attention,
but
they
are
very
important
to
the
state.
They
are
very
important
to
the
country
and
if
you
think
about
that
everything
that
we
eat
they
touch
first.
K
So
when
you
think
about
whether
you're
a
vegan
or
a
vegetarian,
you
can't
be
without
the
people
of
the
central
valley,
and
I
say
if
you
work
in
putting
food
on
the
table,
then
you
belong
with
your
place
at
that
table.
L
Thank
you,
george,
and
it's
a
real
honor
to
have
george
with
us
and
I'll
brag
on
him
just
in
a
moment,
but
I
also
want
to
just
acknowledge
all
the
incredible
elected
officials,
local
officials,
as
well
as
state
officials
that
are
here
today
and
I'm
grateful
because
they
get
it
and,
more
importantly,
they're
getting
things
done.
You
know
we
are
in
a
house
of
worship.
We
often
talk
places
like
this
about
faith
and
works
as
we
pray,
we
need
to
move
our
feet.
L
These
folks
are
moving
their
feet
every
single
day,
organizing
communities,
large
and
small
meeting
people
where
they
are,
and
implementing
and
applying
the
principles
that
unite
us
as
californians
and
that's
around
our
values,
our
values
of
equity
and
it's
a
spirit
that
brings
us
here
back
to
the
central
valley
today,
and
I
say
back
because
on
monday
I
began
my
week
in
arvin
in
kern
county.
I
was
up
in
madera.
L
We
made
commitments
to
this
valley
and
monday
saying
we're
going
to
bring
an
additional
34
000
doses
to
this
valley
by
reprioritizing
them
from
other
parts
of
the
state
and
bringing
them
here,
and
we've
done
exactly
that.
On
monday
we
said
we
were
going
to
set
up
11
sites
like
this
over
the
course
of
the
week,
and
we've
done
just
that.
L
We
have
more
work
to
do
and
we
are
committed
not
just
interested
committed
in
stepping
up
our
efforts
and
significantly
increasing
supply
and
increasing
our
outreach
to
communities
all
across
this
region
and
when
I
say
outreach,
we
recognize
that
we
can't
do
it
alone,
not
just
elected
officials.
We
need
partners
like
firm.
L
You
know
dr
rambla
talked
about
that
5
millionth
dose
of
vaccine.
That
was
provided
just
a
few
weeks
ago.
It
is
remarkable
to
just
think.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago
we
had
five
million
doses
of
vaccines
administered.
Today
we
announced
that
we're
at
eight
million
two
hundred
and
forty
thousand
more
than
six
nations
in
the
world.
L
Passing
countries
like
israel,
california,
has
significantly
stepped
up
its
weekly
administration
of
doses.
In
fact,
the
only
constraint
now
is
supply.
We
are
administering
more
vaccines
now
formally
than
we
are
receiving
from
the
federal
government.
It's
not
an
indictment.
It's
all
now
about
manufactured
supply.
It's
the
only
constraint
in
terms
of
our
capacity
to
do
more
and
better
about
1.4
million
vaccines
are
now
being
administered
on
a
weekly
basis.
L
L
We
now
have
a
three-week
window
into
the
future,
better
predictability,
better
transparency
and
understanding
of
what
will
be
available,
not
just
this
coming
week,
but
over
the
next
few
weeks,
we'll
go
from
1.46
million
doses
that
we'll
receive
by
the
end
of
this
week
later
today,
we'll
have
1.58
million
next
week
will
go
up
to
1.63
million
the
week
following
new
doses
are
arriving,
assuming
the
emergency
use.
Authorization
of
the
jnj
vaccine
will
now
have
three
vaccines:
the
moderna
the
pfizer
that's
been
administered
here
today,
and
the
single
dose
jnj
we
anticipate
receiving.
L
Three
380
eighty
thousand
three
hundred
doses
of
the
j
j
vaccine
next
week
and
predictably
over
the
next
three
weeks
that
single
dose
provides
opportunities
to
bring
those
doses
and
vaccines
to
where
people
are,
because
those
doses
don't
require
the
storage
that
the
moderna
and
pfizer
doses
require
and
again
they're,
just
a
single
dose.
So
now
we'll
have
three
and
we'll
see
that
manufactured
supply
go
north
of
380
000
very
confidently
end
of
march,
we'll
see
those
begin
to
significantly
increase.
Look.
L
It
was
mentioned
by
assembly
members
and
the
senators,
and
I
appreciate
all
the
spirit
of
optimism
and
there
should
be
there
is
light,
not
light,
there's
bright
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel,
I'll
just
punctuate.
This
and
close
it's
remarkable.
One.
Month
ago
today,
we
reported
17
000
cases
of
covet
today,
5
400
17
000,
to
a
little
over
five
thousand.
One
month
ago,
today
we
had
a
7.9
percent
positivity
rate.
L
Today
the
positivity
rate
is
down
to
two
point:
seven
percent,
which
is
remarkable
when
you
consider
we
were
north
of
fourteen
percent
six
weeks
ago.
You
know
it
was
six
weeks
ago
that
we
were
going
all
across
the
country
asking
for
mutual
aid
to
get
more,
dare
I
say
this
body
bags,
it
was
noted-
and
I
appreciate
the
comment
of
how
deadly
this
disease
is
and
we're
not
immune
to
that
now
on
a
per
capita
basis.
L
We
are
protecting
more
and
we're
providing
more
support,
but
nothing
more
essential
and
again.
Let
me
end
as
I
began
than
where
we
are
here
in
the
central
valley.
George
made
the
point:
let
us
never
take
for
granted
our
farm
workers,
our
egg
workers,
egg
work
workers,
let
us
never
take
for
granted
these
food
processing
plants
and
all
of
those
individuals
that
make
it
possible
to
lay
claim
to
our
status
as
a
breadbasket
to
the
world,
not
just
the
united
states.
L
L
And
so
that's
the
spirit
that
brings
me
back
to
the
valley
just
twice
this
week
and
will
bring
me
back
over
and
over
and
over
again,
it's
the
spirit
of
optimism
and
hope,
but
also
hard-headed
pragmatism,
that
we
are
not
where
we
will
be
in
a
number
of
months,
but
we
are
getting
closer
every
single
hour
of
every
single
day
because
of
remarkable
partners
like
firm,
incredible
leaders
like
those
that
you
just
heard
from
so
I'm
here
enthusiastically
but
soberly
mindful
of
what
is
in
front
of
us
hopeful.
M
Thank
you,
governor
jim
jacobs,
here
with
gv
wire.
Thanks
for
taking
our
questions
here
in
the
central
valley,
I
had
a
question
about
the
tpa
with
blue
shield
of
california.
I
know
that
they've
taken
effect,
we've
had
a
really
difficult
time
getting
information
from
them.
I've
emailed
them
three
times
myself,
asking
them
about
wave
one.
Potentially.
What
we're
in
here
in
the
central
valley,
they've
redirected
me
to
the
cdph
every
time
and
I
have
not
received
response
from
them.
M
What
are
you
going
to
do
to
make
them
more
transparent,
more
open
with
what
they're
doing
they
don't
have
a
dashboard
like
the
state?
Does
they
don't
have
any
way
of
communicating
with
us?
Can
they
provide
updates
to
us
on
a
weekly
basis
in
some
sort
of
a
virtual
press
conference
or
with
you?
What
can
you
do
to
help.
L
Things
begin
to
be
begin
to
be
fully
implemented,
starting
on
monday,
so
we
just
announced
this
transition
so
we're
in
the
midst
of
the
transition.
So
your
question
is
perfectly
understandable
and
rational
and
is
recognized
not
only
here
in
the
valley
but
all
across
the
state,
so
we're
moving
from
a
transition,
58
solutions,
1100
providers
under
those
58
counties,
lack
of
transparency.
I
assure
you
in
each
and
every
case
in
each
and
every
county,
everyone
operating
a
little
bit
differently.
L
The
whole
idea
of
getting
everyone
on
a
single
platform
is
more
transparency,
more
accountability,
more
ability
to
answer
your
question
by
not
only
looking
at
a
dashboard
but
understanding
what
those
numbers
mean,
what
they
don't
mean:
provider
payments,
incentives
in
terms
of
performance,
redirecting
allocations
that
are
not
getting
to
people's
arms
that
are
still
in
freezers
and
data
analytics.
That
will
allow
us
a
real-time
information
gathering
so
next
week.
That
process
begins
at
a
whole
new
scale.
N
From
abc
30,
I
wanted
to
check
back
in
on
two
things
we
discussed
16
days
ago.
One
is
just
the
latest
on
the
mass
vaccination
center,
possibly
coming
here.
You
said
last
time
that
the
discussions
with
the
biden
administration
pretty
far
along,
so
I
wanted
an
update
on
that
and
the
other
was
the
three-week
allocation
planning
that
counties
you
said
would
be
able
to
do.
I
know
that
the
federal
government
is
now
giving
the
state
three
weeks
notice,
but
the
counties
still
aren't
receiving
that.
So
it's.
L
So
we
can
get
our
kids
safely
back
into
school.
We
must
get
our
kids
safely
back
in
school.
We're
setting
aside
multiple
days
to
do
just
that
at
those
two
sites,
but
what's
important
about
those
two
sites
is
they
also
have
roving
components.
They
have
mobile
components
that
reach
out
in
diverse
communities,
including
ramona
gardens
predominantly.
L
I
was
just
down
there
in
l.a
and
predominantly
latino
public
housing
site
again
we're
going
on
site,
knocking
on
doors
truly
trying
to
advance
the
cause
of
equity
in
a
more
meaningful
way,
and
so
that's
a
component
of
those
two
sites.
Now
here's
what
happened?
Full
disclosure,
the
state
of
california,
is
the
beneficiary
of
the
first
two
federal
sites.
L
Other
states
were
not
as
pleased
as
we
all
were
about
being
the
first
and
having
not
one
but
two
large-scale
sites.
It's
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
the
new
administration
to
do
the
same
in
every
other
state
in
the
country
and
so
they're
just
getting
started,
and
so
we
are
indeed
committed
to
getting
a
third
site,
but
I
didn't
wait
for
that.
L
That's
why
I
came
back
monday
to
announce
the
34
000
doses,
so
I
came
back
monday
to
announce
the
58
increase
58,
not
the
modest
increase,
we're
seeing
over
the
next
few
weeks,
but
the
58
increase
and
to
announce
11
of
these
optimum
serve
sites
that
we
got
up
in
four
days,
and
so
that's
my
commitment
to
the
valley.
Until
that
larger
site
comes,
that's
will
be
additive,
but
really
the
backbone.
The
architecture
of
our
vaccination
efforts
will
be
realized
at
locations
more
like
this.
O
L
L
Now
as
part
of
this
public-private
partnership,
I
say
public
private
because
of
their
leadership
the
assembly
in
the
senate.
They
provided
over
23
million
dollars
and
then
we
went
out
and
re-raised
29
million
29.4
to
be
exact,
23.3
29.4,
52.7
million
dollars-
and
this
is
one
of
those
cbo's
that
we're
partnering
with
to
do
exactly
what
needs
to
be
done
to
address
the
issue
of
misinformation
and
lack
of
trust
and
confidence,
and
not
only
the
safety
but
the
efficacy
of
these
vaccinations.
L
P
More
governor
david
taub
with
gvyer,
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
our
questions.
The
different
school
districts
that
cover
fresno
have
different
policies
when
it
comes
to
in-person
instruction.
Clovis
unified
has
already
have
students
back
in
campus,
fresno
unified
has
not
for
the
general
school
population
and
they
have
a
contract
with
the
union
that
will
be
until
the
orange
tier
comes
to
fresno
county
that
that
can
happen.
So
I'm
wondering
is
there
any
talk
of
state
intervention,
possibly
requiring
in-person
instruction
for
districts
like
fresno
that
have
these
issues
with
the
union?
Yeah.
L
L
What's
included
in
that
is
6.6
billion
dollars
to
address
the
issue
of
learning
loss
and
to
address
the
associated
costs
to
safely
reopen,
to
provide
supports
to
consider
the
extension
of
the
school
year
school
day
to
provide
wellness
to
provide
the
kind
of
support
on
capital
improvements
for
ventilation
for
distancing
we've
provided
three
months
of
free
ppe.
L
We
have
contracts
on
testing
and
we
put
out
a
dashboard
for
safely
reopening
our
schools
and
we
are
looking
forward
with
the
expedited
vaccinations
and
by
the
way,
we're
one
of
the
first
states
in
america
to
prioritize
our
teachers
and
our
cafeteria
workers,
bus
drivers
and
food
workers,
our
educators,
to
prioritize
them
in
terms
of
vaccine
allocation.
With
all
of
that,
I
would
hope
and
expect.
L
They
can't
afford
another
day
another
week
another
month
without
the
social,
emotional
benefits
of
being
safely
in
school
and
in
person.
We
can
get
this
done,
and
so
that's
what
we're
working
on
with
the
legislature
and
I'm
I'm
eager
to
see
that
happen.
I've
frankly
been
a
little
insistent
on
seeing
that
happen,
and
so
the
answer
to
your
question
is:
we
are
working
through
that,
and
hopefully
there'll
be
some
daylight
on
those
efforts.
As
early
as
the
beginning
of
next
week,.
Q
Hi
governor,
this
is
marie
edinger
with
fox
26
news.
You
mentioned
that
the
vaccines
that
are
coming
to
the
central
valley
are
from
a
redistribution
plan
rather
than
the
state
actually
getting
more
doses
and,
as
you
know,
fresno
county
was
altogether
paused
for
its
max
fascination
sites.
Of
its
first
doses,
I'm
wondering
what
made
you
decide
to
take
on
that
redistribution
plan
and
if
bringing
doses
here
is
going
to
negatively
impact
other
communities,
since
we
aren't
getting
extra.
L
Yeah,
so
it
was
part
of
the
tpa
was
part
of
the
agreement
with
blue
shield.
We
actually
began
to
loosen
the
allocation,
70
percent
statewide,
going
to
people
65
and
over
30
to
food
and
ag
workers
and
other
essential
workers.
You
are
the
beneficiary
of
a
larger
portion
of
the
population
falling
into
that
segment,
and
that's
why
it's
not
one
time
the
announcement
was
fifty
eight
percent
increase
on
going
not
five
percent,
not
eight
58
ongoing
as
a
baseline.
R
Hi
governor,
this
is
jocelyn
with
cbs47
two
quick
things.
The
first
thing,
fresno
county,
had
an
allocation
of
about
21,
000
doses.
Last
week,
when
you
talk
about
a
58
percent
increase.
Is
that
a
58
increase
to
that
allocation?
And
the
second
thing
you
know
you
talk
about
food
and
ag
workers
and
really
equity?
R
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
more
on
down
the
line
when
it
comes
to
minorities
who
live
in
multi-generational
households
who
have
been
heavily
impacted
by
covet
19,
who
might
be
in
their
40s
50s
30s,
really
who
have
these
underlying
health
conditions
and
live
in
these
close
quarter
homes?
If
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
them
and
reaching
those
populations
as
well
with
vaccinations
down
the
line.
L
I
appreciate
both
components.
Your
question,
let
me
just
take
the
first
58
percent-
is
average
for
the
entire
valley.
That
includes
many
parts
of
the
valley.
Let
me
be
more
specific.
When
we're
in
arvin
we
talked
about
kern
county's
allocation
being
closer
to
78,
certain
parts
of
the
valley
doing
a
little
bit
better
than
other
parts
of
the
valley,
so
we're
working
through
the
details
and
I'll
provide
you
a
map
of
the
specifics.
But
let
me
give
you
the
valley,
specific
44
000,
a
week
ago,
69
000
this
week.
L
That's
the
percentage
increase
in
the
valley
to
local
health
authorities,
meaning
there's
additional
private,
there's
additional
pharmacy
and
additional
community
clinic
allocations
that
are
not
part
of
that.
That's
the
baseline
forty
four
thousand
went
to
sixty
nine
thousand,
as
it
relates
to
king
and
tulare,
and
here
stanislaus
and
other
parts
of
the
valley,
including
fresno.
So
that's
encouraging.
That's
the
baseline.
Now
as
it
relates
to
your
subsequent
question,
which
is
the
right
question:
mixed
status,
families
all
those
generational
challenges
and
opportunities.
L
I
love
that
it
was
mentioned
just
a
moment
ago
that
7.6
billion
effort
we
just
announced
a
few
days
ago
because
in
that
includes
yes,
thank
you
senator
that
housing
to
harvest
program-
that's
24
million
dollars.
We
just
approved
they
led.
We
just
approved
to
go
into
this
community
and
farm
worker
communities
all
up
and
down
the
state
for
financial
assistance,
wraparound
assistance
and
housing,
assistance,
quarantine
and
isolation.
That's
to
help
those
families
particularly
may
have
been
exposed
or
have
contacted
this
disease
now,
as
it
relates
to
additional
supports.
L
It
was
mentioned-
and
I
love
this
and
by
the
way
I'm
proud
of
this-
and
I
know
not-
everyone
agrees,
but
regardless
of
your
immigration
status,
folks
were
left
out
of
the
federal
supports.
The
state
of
california
was
the
first
state
a
year
ago
to
direct
assistance,
and
we
followed
it
up
again
with
what
we
call
the
golden
state:
the
golden
state
stimulus,
5.7
million
californians,
5.7
million,
getting
600
dollar
checks,
and
that
includes
I-10
workers.
We're
proud
of
that.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do.
L
These
folks
have
had
our
back
not
complaining
and
they've
been
there
for
us.
Every
single
day
and
many
are
in
that
mixed
status,
family
and
those
families
will
ultimately
be
the
beneficiaries,
not
just
those
individuals.
Those
households
will
be
the
beneficiaries.
Now,
as
it
relates
to
underlying
conditions.
We
put
out
guidelines
a
week
ago,
related
to
a
march
15
deadline
to
include
idd
and
other
comorbidities
cancer
and
other
things,
regardless
of
age
16
to
64..
L
That's
specific
to
your
question
about
a
four-year-old
that
may
be
in
that
category,
I'm
looking
to
update
that
as
early
as
tuesday
or
wednesday
preview
next
week.
I'm
not
sure
we
want
to
wait
until
march
15th
and
the
reason
we're
feeling
we
can
do
that
is.
We
have
a
preview
into
increased
allocations,
particularly
j
j,
that
give
us
confidence
and
the
ability
to
be
more
flexible
in
terms
of
moving
that
date
forward
to
accommodate
those
unique
needs
of
unique
individuals
that
are
struggling
with
those
core
mobilities.
S
Can
answer
questions
your
team
tells
you
you
mentioned
that
380
000
of
the
jnj
vaccine
could
come
to
the
state
next
week,
because
it's
a
single
dose
vaccine
will
that
be
prioritized
for
certain
groups.
That
would
benefit
from
a
single
dose
vaccine
just
because
of
of
timing
and
whatnot,
and
will
that
380
80
000
be
consistent.
L
Yeah,
no
so
the
three
week
preview
that
we
were
given
for
the
buy
demonstration
380
300
next
week
week
after
and
the
week
after.
So
it's
consistent
based
on
that
three
week
window
by
the
way
they
update
that
three
week
every
week,
so
those
numbers
are
subject
to
change,
but
it's
encouraging
and
that
single
dose
will
be
allocated
and
we'll
go
through
the
process
with
the
third
party
agreement
in
partnership
with
counties,
and
we
will
figure
out
where
to
land
in
terms
of
the
distribution.
L
But
I
want
to
just
make
this
point
because
I
think
this
is
a
question
you're
going
to
be
asking
all
of
us
very
soon.
Some
people
prefer
pfizer.
Some
people
prefer
moderna.
Some
people
say
well.
J
j
is
a
single
dose,
but
its
efficacy
is
a
little
different
than
moderna
and
pfizer.
Why
am
I
getting
that
single
shot?
Why
don't
I
get
this
other
shot?
Here's
what
I
say
take
the
shot
when
it's
your
turn
get
any
of
these
shots.
It's
going
to
save
your
lives!
The
j
and
j
one
single
shot.
L
They've
actually
done
studies,
as
relates
to
the
south
african
variant,
its
efficacy,
but
it
relates
to
hospitalizations
severe
symptoms
and
icus.
It's
a
safe
and
your
doctor,
fouchy
this
morning
say
as
the
other
three,
and
so
I
just
encourage
people
to
take
what
they
can
get.
So
we
can
get
closer
to
the
day
when
we're
at
hurt
immunity
and
we're
starting
to
reopen
and
I'll.
Just
close
on
this,
we
are
starting
to
reopen
state.
Homeowner
was
lifted,
schools
are
going
back
into
session.
Businesses
are
starting
to
open
up,
not
just
outdoors.
L
L
L
We
really
are
seeing
that
bright
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
because
of
all
of
your
hard
work
because
of
millions
of
californians
that
met
the
moment
and
helped
get
us
to
this
point,
and
so
I
thank
each
and
every
one
of
them.
I
thank
all
the
elected
officials
here
and
we're
blessed
again
to
have
george
lopez
and
our
presence
back,
as
he's
been
thousands
of
times
in
the
central
valley,
take
care
everybody.
Thank
you.
