From YouTube: Governor Newsom's COVID-19 Update - May 6, 2020
Description
As California prepares to enter Stage 2 of the gradual reopening of the state this Friday, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that workers who contract COVID-19 while on the job may be eligible to receive workers' compensation. The Governor signed an executive order that creates a time-limited rebuttable presumption for accessing workers' compensation benefits applicable to Californians who must work outside of their homes during the stay at home order.
Those eligible will have the rebuttable presumption if they tested positive for COVID-19 and confirmed by a positive test within 14 days of performing a labor or service at a place of work after they stay at home order was issued on March 19, 2020. The presumption will stay in place for 60 days after issuance of the executive order.
The Governor also signed an executive order that waives penalties for property taxes paid after April 10 for taxpayers who demonstrate they have experienced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic through May 6, 2021. This will apply to residential properties and small businesses. Additionally, the executive order will extend the deadline for certain businesses to file Business Personal Property Statements from tomorrow to May 31, 2020, to avoid penalties.
Since declaring a state of emergency due to COVID-19 on March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom has taken several actions to benefit workers on the front lines, including paid sick leave benefits for food sector workers that are subject to a quarantined or isolation order; critical child support services for essential workers and vulnerable populations; additional weekly unemployment benefits; and needed assistance in the form of loans for small businesses and job opportunities in critical industries for workers that have been displaced by the pandemic.
Visit covid19.ca.gov for critical steps Californians can take to stay healthy, and resources available to those impacted by the outbreak.

Well,
good
afternoon
today
we
are
launching
a
new
site
for
people
to
be
able
to
access
in
real
time
information
and
also
the
opportunity
to
schedule
testing.
We've
been
talking
a
lot
over
the
course,
the
last
number
of
months
about
testing,
not
just
here
in
the
state
of
California,
but
all
across
this
country.
B
California,
as
you
may
recall,
was
testing
about
2,000
people
every
month,
but
for
the
beginning
of
April,
we've
been
able
to
increase
our
testing
capacity
substantially
over
the
course,
the
last
number
of
weeks
from
2000
a
day
to
over
25,000
tests
a
day.
In
fact,
over
the
last
6
or
7
days,
those
numbers
have
increased
to
roughly
30,000
tests.
A
day
all
told
the
state
of
California
has
tested
north
of
800,000
people.
B
We
mentioned
a
week
or
so
ago,
some
new
contracts,
some
that
are
being
expanded,
some
that
were
new
optim
served,
which
was
going
to
provide
80
sites
in
rural
parts
of
the
state
verily
that
first
testing
mobile
testing
site
we
announced
over
a
month
ago
and
partnership
with
Google.
We
announced
their
commitment
to
do
86
additional
sites
throughout
the
state.
We're
able
today
to
launch
a
new
site
called
Kovan
19,
not
new
site,
well-known
site,
but
a
site
that
allows
you
to
drill
down
and
get
more
information
about
these
testing
sites.
B
If
you
go
to
kovat
19
ca.gov,
if
you
go
to
the
kovat
19
ca.gov
website,
you
can
now
find
the
location
by
simply
pressing
in
your
zip
code.
You
can
provide
more
information
if
you
wish,
but
if
you
just
start
with
the
zip
code,
you'll
see
these
testing
sites
come
up
on
a
map,
you'll
see
it
through
Optim
serve
you'll,
see
it
through
verily
and
through
the
community
sites
that
we
have
partner.
B
B
So
that's
a
new
tool
we
wanted
to
socialize
today,
make
it
available
to
you
again.
We
solve
an
enormous
amount
of
work.
To
do
this
site
will
expose
that,
but
in
a
very
transparent
way,
we've
been
very
forthright
in
our
recognition
that
we
need
to
spread
out
our
testing
capacity
and
also
deepen
it
in
certain
communities.
This
site
will
show
the
areas
where
we
still
have
work
to
do
again.
B
Another
thing
we've
been
working
on
is
we
moved
with
the
announcements
earlier
this
week
to
discuss
reopening
our
economy
with
modifications,
reopening
sectors
of
our
economy,
with
modifications
and
adapting
and
reopening
parts
of
california,
regional
parts
of
california,
with
modifications
with
variances,
based
on
criteria.
That
fundamental
point
that
we
needed
to
advanced
was
the
protection
of
our
workers.
B
A
few
weeks
back,
you
may
recall
announcement
where
we
advanced
support
for
workers
in
the
food
chain
from
farmworkers
to
the
folks
in
the
front
lines,
the
grocery
lines
in
the
state
of
california
through
expanding
paid
sick
leave.
As
you
may
recall,
the
federal
government
provided
sick
leave,
expansion
for
employers
less
than
500,
but
not
for
some
of
these
larger
chains
and
their
employers
in
the
state
of
California.
We
augmented
that,
with
the
announcement
we
made
a
few
weeks
back,
would
paid
sick
leave
through
that
food
supply
chain.
B
There
were
others,
though,
that
were
left
out
of
that
support,
quite
notably
out
of
federal
support,
and
those
are
the
folks,
the
health
care
workers,
the
folks
we
rely
on
the
most
and
many
of
our
first
responders,
firefighters,
paramedics.
As
an
example.
They
were
left
out
of
the
original
sick
leave
announcements
from
the
federal
government
and
we're
not
part
of
our
previous
announcements.
B
Until
today,
I
just
signed
an
executive
order
to
extend
benefits,
workers
comp
benefits
in
those
sectors
and
now
broaden
it
beyond
just
the
health
care
and
first
responder
sector
to
all
sectors
of
our
economy,
under
what
we
call
a
rebuttable
presumption.
That
may
be
confusing
to
some,
except
to
say
this.
If
you've
tested
positive
or
been
diagnosed
with
C
19
with
Kovan
19
by
a
physician,
you
are
eligible
for
this
workers
comp
benefit.
It
can
only
be
rebutted
by
your
employer
but
under
strict
criteria.
B
So
this
is
a
way
of
providing
support
to
our
critical
workers
that
are
essential
in
our
not
only
to
meet
the
needs
of
people
today.
But,
as
we
begin
to
enter
into
this
new
phase
and
start
to
reopen,
our
economy
are
essential
for
our
capacity
to
deliver
on
the
services
that
we
want
to
expand
and
increase
across
the
state
of
California.
So
this
is
a
I
can
assure
you
without
getting
into
the
weeds
the
sausage-making
here.
B
It
has
a
retroactivity
to
March
19th
but
extends
for
a
60-day
period
and
should
provide
some
calm
and
relief
to
our
healthcare
workers
that
were
otherwise
scratching
their
head
wondering
why
they
weren't
part
of
some
of
these
original
announcements,
both
at
the
federal
level
and
at
the
state
level
and
I
think
do
justice
to
the
incredible
heroism,
particularly
on
National
Nurses
Day
here
in
the
United
States
of
America,
to
say
thank
you
to
our
nurses.
Thank
you
to
our
frontline
heroes,
thank
you
to
our
firefighters,
paramedics,
doing
CPR
and
the
like.
B
B
The
worst
thing
we
can
do
is
have
a
worker
that
has
tested
positive
but
doesn't
want
to
tell
anybody
and
can
spread
the
disease
because
he
or
she
can't
afford
not
to
work,
and
so
that's
why
expanding
to
all
sectors
of
our
economy,
this
workers,
comp
presumption,
is
so
important
because
we
want
people
to
feel
confident
and
comfortable
they'll
have
their
benefits.
Of
course,
these
are
benefits
after
you've,
already
exhausted
and
drawn
down
any
federal
benefits
you
otherwise
may
have
accrued
or
other
state
benefits.
B
There
are
provisions,
there's
a
criteria
we
lay
out
in
this
executive
order,
but
I
think
it's
a
very
healthy
step
in
the
right
direction,
critical
step
in
the
right
direction
as
we
move
into
this
phase,
two
I'm
pleased
that
we
have
our
director
of
Department
of
Industrial
Relations
Victoria's
here
today
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this
program.
It's
part
of
her
larger
and
you
probably
wondering
what
Department
of
Industrial
Relations
is,
but
among
many
other
responsibilities,
Victoria
has
is
making
sure
that
our
workers
comp
system
is
working
is
operational.
B
She
has
been
working
overtime
with
industry
leaders,
business
as
well
as
labor
leaders.
All
up
and
down
the
state
and
trying
to
forge
to
the
extent
we
can
a
framework
of
understanding
and
capacity
and
appreciation
to
be
able
to
make
this
announcement
today.
I'd
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
ask
her
to
come
up
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this
program
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
you
could
avail
yourself,
more
understanding
and
knowledge
about
what
this
means.
Potentially
for
you.
C
Thank
you
so
much
governor
Newsom
and
for
your
great
leadership
in
this
space.
As
we
know,
workplace,
Health
and
Safety
is
Public,
Health
and
Safety.
This
benefit
applies
to
all
workers,
all
of
those
frontline
workers
that
are
risking
their
health
and
safety
to
ensure
the
health
and
production
of
all
of
us.
Our
nurses
are
first
responders
janitors
warehouse
workers,
farm
workers,
grocery
store
workers
and
all
of
those
that
are
putting
themselves
on
the
line.
B
Thank
You
Victoria.
Thank
you
to
your
team
for
organizing
this
program
and
getting
that
executive
order
to
my
desk
earlier
today.
A
couple
of
other
executive
orders
that
we
are
also
announcing
today
around
the
issues
of
property
tax
relief,
both
for
residences
as
well
as
business,
the
personal
business
property
tax
that
people
are
required
to
pay
north
of
$100,000.
B
Both
are
familiar
to
many
individuals
that
may
be
watching,
and
there
was
some
clarity
a
few
months
back,
as
relates
to
penalties
associated
and
fees
related
to
the
assessment
of
prop
8
that
we
were
working
with
the
counties
to
see
if
we
can
coordinate
and
collaborate
in
a
way
that
can
address
the
hardship
claims
that
we're
coming
in
and
allow
people
to
get
on
payment
plans
without
experiencing
that,
rather
sizable
10%.
A
tax
code
penalty
that
is
assessed
on
those
property
tax
bills.
B
We've
been
working
with
the
county
associations
and
this
executive
order
will
provide
even
more
clarity
in
this
space
and
extend
through
next
may,
extend
through
next
May
the
penalty
waiver
for
fees
and
related
fines
associated
with
that
10%
tax
code
requirement.
That
will
allow
people
again
with
hardships,
to
get
on
payment
plans
and
not
have
to
experience
that
penalty,
at
least
through
I
think
this
is
significant
clarification.
B
We
think
this
could
be
significant
relief,
particularly
that
timeline
that
extends
into
the
new
year,
as
many
of
us
have
had
that
10%
fee
assessed
through
no
fault
of
our
own,
maybe
just
neglect,
maybe
naive
about
the
penalty
being
so
strong
right
now.
Many
people
just
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
and
those
property
tax
bills
are
so
large
for
people
and
so
challenging
at
this
time
that
we
wanted
to
provide
this
clarity
in
that
executive
order
that
we
signed
today
as
well.
We'll
do
just
that.
As
I
said.
B
We
extend
this
not
just
this
relief
to
personal
residences.
We
are
extending
the
deadline
for
property,
rather
property
for
taxes
associated
with
businesses.
That
currently
is
a
May
7th
deadline
where
you
would
then
have
that
same
10%
tax
under
the
tax
code,
we're
extending
that
through
just
May
31st
of
this
month,
so
for
residences
we
extend
through
next
year
for
businesses
we're
providing
small
businesses
that
relief,
at
least
through
the
end
of
the
month,
that
give
people
some
more
time.
B
We've
been
working,
the
Board
of
Equalization
on
this
they
were
assessing
how
many
calls
they
were
getting.
How
many
concerns
that
were
being
raised
and
providing
at
least
a
little
bit
more
time
will
give
us
a
little
bit
more
time
as
well
to
provide
more
clarity
through
the
end
of
this
month.
So
that's
the
framework
today
of
these
executive
orders,
hopefully
providing
some
clarity
in
areas
where
we're
getting
a
lot
of
inquiry
and
hopefully
providing
a
little
bit
of
relief
for
many
people
that
are
anxious
because
of
the
economic
challenges
of
this
moment.
B
The
economic
challenges,
as
you
know,
well,
are
quite
extraordinary.
We
are
now
facing
the
need
to
continue
to
provide
unprecedented
support
to
people
that
are
filing
uninsurance
claims
and
pua
claims.
These
pandemic
unemployment
assistance
grants
over
4.2
million
people.
Now,
in
that
system,
foreign
and
77,000
of
those
under
the
PUA
program,
but
ten
point,
six
billion
dollars
now
has
been
distributed.
Remarkably,
just
since
Sunday
two
billion
dollars
has
been
distributed
from
the
UI
and
PUA
accounts.
B
So
now
north
of
ten
billion
ten
point
six
two
billion
now,
just
in
less
than
a
week
of
of
dollars
that
we're
getting
out
as
quickly
as
we
can
I
I
bring
that
up
proactively
consistently
because
I
recognize.
So
many
of
you
can't
wait
much
longer
can't
wait
on
a
line
for
a
human
being
to
answer
the
phone
call
or
wait
for
your
claim
to
be
adjudicated.
B
Through
this
week,
almost
11
billion
now
in
total,
again
without
precedent
in
our
state's
history
and
you'll,
see
these
numbers
translating
to
unemployment
rates
very
very
soon,
not
only
in
the
state
of
California
process.
This
country
that
will
be
rather
jaw-dropping,
it's
sober
and
we've
anticipated
it,
and
it's
also
reflected
and
will
be
reflected
in
budgets,
both
local
budgets,
state
budgets,
certainly
in
the
national
budget
in
communities
all
across
the
United
States.
Our
budget
comes
out
what
we
call
the
may
revise
on
May
14th.
B
So
in
a
few
days
those
numbers
will
be
made
more
visible,
more
real
to
people
as
we're
all
working
overtime.
To
make
sure
we
submit
a
balanced
budget.
We
talk
about
California
being
a
nation
state,
the
only
distinction
by
that
it's
a
figurative
term,
not
a
literal
term.
So
one
thing
that
we
don't
have
as
a
printing
press,
we
are
accountable
to
balancing
our
budgets
and
continue
to
make
this
point
as
we've
made
on
multiple
occasions.
We
can't
do
this
without
the
federal
government.
B
We
really
need
leadership,
the
federal
level,
to
provide
the
magnitude
of
supports
not
just
for
this
state
California,
but
for
cities
and
counties
all
across
California,
where
revenues
have
simply
just
fallen
off
a
cliff
in
just
weeks,
not
even
months,
and
so
again
these
unemployment
numbers
portend
that
future
and
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
and
bracket
the
unemployment
conversation.
In
light
of
that
conversation,
let
me
now
go
back
to
the
opening
conversation
about
moving
people
back
into
Phase
two
back
into
the
economy.
B
Through
this
phase,
two
process
we'll
be
putting
out
guidelines
as
early
as
tomorrow,
as
it
relates
to
the
industries
that
will
begin
to
make
modifications
to
our
stay
away,
order
and
industries.
It
will
be
allowed
to
move
with
adaptation
and
modifications
into
this
second
phase,
primarily
in
the
retail
space,
but
also
the
menu
factoring
and
logistics
space.
Yesterday
we
were
a
small
business
in
Sacramento
there'll,
be
the
beneficiary
of
these
changes
that
will
begin
to
do
curbside,
pickup,
but
still
a
lot
of
work
for
businesses
to
get
their
modifications
in
order.
B
We're
also
working
with
the
counties
all
across
the
state
of
California.
That
wish
to
go
further
clarifying
the
expectations.
What
the
details
are
in
terms
of
the
guidelines
on
testing
tracing
capacity,
surge
capacity,
PPE
and
many
other
prerequisites
to
opening
up
even
further
on
the
issue
of
PPE,
it
is
appropriate
that
also
there
pause
and
reflect
on
this
remarkable
moment
in
our
history,
where
we
all
took
off
on
a
plane
that
we
were
building
as
we
were
flying
we
referred
to
the
procurement
of
PPE
across
the
spectrum.
Is
the
wild
wild
west?
B
A
few
months
back,
there's
been
some
wonderful
reporting
on
this
I
want
to
complement
the
work
of
one
of
our
state
newspapers,
Cal
matters
and
credible
work
also
being
done.
The
Washington
Post
on
this
that
highlighted
some
of
these
examples.
You've
seen
those
examples
in
Maryland
we've
seen
some
examples
specifically
well
New
York
many
other
states.
B
I
could
imagine
they're
hundreds
and
hundreds
that
will
be
exposed
cities
not
just
States
over
the
course
of
months
of
some
of
those
efforts,
gone
awry,
we've
been
very
well,
it's
the
extent
possible,
we've
kind
of
been
in
real-time
updating.
You
I
mentioned
a
few
weeks
back
on
a
multiple
occasions.
Some
of
those
mouldy
masks
that
were
turned
back
that
we
had
procured.
We
were
able
to
get
our
money
back
on
those
others
that
customs
and
borders
took
away
contracts
that
materialized
contracts.
B
That
didn't,
but
there
was
some
larger
contracts
that
certainly
dint
that
didn't
cost
the
taxpayers
a
penny,
but
were
cautionary
tales
and
a
few
months
back,
we
were
able
to-
or
at
least
many
weeks
back
being
able
to
reposition
our
approach
to
our
procurement
and
PPE,
and
that
led
to
an
announced
a
few
weeks
back
about
a
large
procurement
with
company,
BYD
and
other
nonprofits
were
part
of
a
broader
consortium
of
efforts
to
really
secure
our
supply
chain
for
the
state
of
California.
Again.
B
Why
is
that
so
important
for
our
first
responders
for
our
frontline
employees
and
our
health
care
professionals,
absolutely
our
skilled
nursing
facilities
assistant,
but
also
that
PPE
is
critical
for
reopening
the
economy.
We
have
this
large
BYD
contract
where
we
talked
about
the
product
coming
in
in
May
and
June.
A
two-month
contract
were
a
few
days
into
May,
but
we
were
very
blessed
week
or
so
ago
to
get
early
shipments
earlier
than
we
had
anticipated
on
the
contract
of
these
surgical
masks.
These
procedure
masks.
B
What
that
has
allowed
us
to
do
is
begin
to
move
into
Phase
two
a
little
bit
earlier
than
we
otherwise
would.
Let
me
be
specific
about
that.
We
have
now
distributed
over
15
million
of
those
procedure
masks
a
few
weeks
ago
was
lesson.
It
was
about
four
million.
Now
we've
distributed
over
15
million
and
we
have
in
our
possession
nineteen
point.
Nine
million
masks
that
we
are
now
in
the
process
of
distribute
again
we
try
to
get
in
get
it
out
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
we've
never
been
in
this
position.
B
We
were
beneficiary
of
these
larger
contracts
and
some
security
in
our
supply
chain.
So
that's
good
news
on
the
front
end
the
unfortunate
news,
and
but
it's
part
of
these
larger
contracts
is
on
the
back
end.
We
needed
some
certification
from
federal
certifications
for
these
n95
respirator
masks.
That's
been
delayed
a
little
bit
so,
on
the
back
end,
a
little
bit
delay
on
the
front
end.
B
All
this
will
be
a
part
of
our
After
Action
report,
all
across
this
country,
where
we
all
earn
a
position.
I've
learned
a
lot
and
obviously
a
peril
of
making
those
mistakes
ever
again,
and
that's
why
it's
so
important.
We
hold
the
line
on
these
contracts
that
we
have
secured,
so
we
can
get
the
product
in.
We
can
continue
to
continue
our
advancement
and
not
just
Phase
two
but
phase
three
and
ultimately
to
where
we
want
to
go
and
that's
back
to
some
semblance
of
our
old
normal
life.
B
Once
we
have
immunity
and
once
we
have
a
vaccine,
but
until
then
PPE
is
going
to
be
so
foundational
and
so
important
to
these
reopening
efforts
and
and
continuing
to
make
real
progress
in
that
space
and
we're
very
pleased
by
the
way,
one
thing
that
I
have
been
a
little
frustrated
by
and
I
know
all
of
you
have
as
well.
A
lot
of
these
contracts
haven't
been
made
public
as
quickly
as
we
would
like
them
to
be.
There's
many
different
reasons
for
that
often
lawyers,
god
bless
them.
I'm,
family
lawyers
get
involved,
redact
things,
etc.
B
B
We
want
to
get
out
in
the
next
few
days
and
make
sure
people
where
we've
been
able
to
brief
our
legislative
leaders
on
a
lot
of
these
things.
But
you,
the
public,
deserve
that
information
and
you'll
be
getting
that
very
very
soon.
So
good
news
and
the
PPE
side
in
terms
of
progress
on
these
surgical
masks
that
have
allowed
us
to
move
in
the
second
phase.
B
B
Hospitalization
numbers
improved
over
the
last
day
so
did
ICU
numbers
they
actually
both
went
down
1%
and
1.5
percent
respectfully.
So
that
was
encouraging
news.
We
had
a
very
well
relative.
Until
contextual
we
had
some
good
news
over
the
last
week
versus
the
previous
week
on
the
number
of
deaths.
Unfortunately,
yesterday
for
hours
those
numbers
went
back
up
a
little
bit
and
I
just
want
to
extend
my
deep
condolences,
sympathy
and,
and
just
once
again
pains
me
to
say
announce
that
we
lost
95
Souls
in
the
last
24
hours
to
this
virus.
B
We
had
seen
those
numbers
dropping
that
we
hope
is
not
a
new
data
point
that
becomes
a
trend
line,
but
it
is
a
data
point
that
tragically
I
have
to
share
every
day
and
and
that's
the
number,
sadly
of
people
who
lost
their
lives
in
the
last
24
hours.
The
number
of
people
that
have
tested
positive,
we're
looking
at
case
rates
now
you'll
hear
a
lot
more
about
that
case
rates.
We'll
talk
more
about
that
dr.
B
B
We
were,
on
the
lower
end
yesterday,
a
little
bit
on
the
higher
end
today
in
terms
of
the
announcement,
but
in
in
that
bracket,
so
again
stabilization
over
the
course
of
many
many
weeks
decline
in
certain
areas,
but
not
as
much
as
we'd
love
to
see.
But
again,
the
stabilization
of
that
curve
is
one
of
the
foundational
indicators
to
allow
us
to
move
forward.
In
this
second
phase.
The
indicators
on
PPE
another
critical
indicator
allows
move
into
a
Phase
two,
the
tracing
work
that
now
has
been
done
in
real
time.
B
There's
Virtual
Academy
and
the
data
management
system
that
we've
now
put
cured
they'll
be
up
and
running
sharing
data
and
information
in
real-time
to
counties
all
across
the
state
and
a
collaborative
spirit
that
continues
to
permeate
there's
exceptions
and
I'm.
Sure
you'll,
ask
me
a
few
of
those
exceptions
but
again
they're
the
exceptions
that
collaborative
spirit
that
is
alive
all
across
this
state,
Regents,
large
and
small
rural
urban,
suburban,
and
that
includes
Newport,
Beach
and
I.
B
Wanted
you
to
know
that
we
were
able
to
move
forward
in
the
collaborative
spirit
with
the
leadership
at
Newport
Beach
to
reopen
Newport
Beach.
We
mounts
three
beaches
yesterday
to
the
prior
day
reopening
and
to
a
leadership
their
to
their
credit.
They
modeled
their
reopening
plans
along
the
lines
of
those
that
were
advanced
yesterday
in
Huntington
Beach
and
Seal
Beach,
among
others,
Dana
Point
and
continuing
the
incredible
work
that
san
diego-la
venture
and
others
had
done
in
terms
of
advising
a
lot
of
that
work.
So
we're
making
real
progress.
B
The
Orange,
County
Board
of
Supervisors
I
think
made
a
lot
of
progress
last
night
and
now,
with
their
County
Administrator
we're
working
on
some
final
points,
but
again
that's
the
spirit
of
our
time
and
spirit
that
will
allow
us
in
real
time
to
make
judicious
decisions
based
upon
health
and
health
broadly
defined
and
I'll.
Just
close
on
that.
We
think
in
terms
of
health
as
a
priority
for
those
that
are
potentially
exposing
themselves
to
Kovan
19
or
have
been
tested
positive,
but
we've
long
talked
in
terms
of
public
health.
B
More
broadly,
I
submitted
a
budget
in
January
talking
about
social
determinants
of
health,
talking
about
the
issues
of
poverty
and
health,
and
it
is
incumbent
I,
think
of
all
of
us
that
we
consider
that,
as
we
consider
these
next
phases
and
how
challenging
and
challenged
we
all
are.
As
we
enter
into
these
phases,
public
health
has
to
be
broadly
defined.
People's
mental
health
has
to
be
considered.
B
We
have
to
be
considerate
of
the
socio
economics
in
the
complete
disparities
that
continue
to
persist
and
are
impacting
people
so
differently,
particularly
in
the
black
and
brown
communities
in
this
state,
and
it
doesn't
surprise
me
and
shouldn't
surprise
you
a
study
that
just
recently
came
out
related
to
that.
You
see
a
disproportionate
number.
B
That's
why
the
testing
is
so
important
and
that's
why
we
consider
these
disparities
in
terms
of
broader
public
health,
not
just
as
it
relates
to
Kovan,
19
and
I
again
just
offer
that
as
a
lens
of
consideration,
always
we
talk
I
talk,
often
in
the
aggregate,
but
I
recognize
all
of
you.
None
of
you
live
in
the
aggregate
and
conditions
all
across
the
state
within
diverse
communities
are
unique
and
distinctive,
and
we
need
to
speak
to
those
that
deserve
that
tension
and
deserve
I.
Think
those
issues
being
called
out
as
well.
B
So
that's
a
broad
strokes,
the
announcements
today
and
the
progress
we
look
forward
to
making
tomorrow
on
getting
those
guidelines
out
and
into
the
weekends,
as
we
begin
to
move
into
Phase
two
with
our
eyes
wide
open
with
the
data
front
and
center
and
with
that
dashboard
of
transparency
in
real
time,
guiding
our
decision-making
over
the
course
of
the
next
days
and
many
weeks
and
months
ahead.
Happy
to
answer
questions.
D
Hi
governor
there's
been
direction
by
the
legislature
to
only
focus
on
co,
vid
related
and
essential
bills,
but
some
lawmakers
are
putting
out
legislation
that
doesn't
seem
related
and
I
want
to
know.
If
you
see
an
appetite
for
those,
will
there
be
a
path
forward
on
measures
in
the
legislature
to
combat
youth
beeping?
Will
you
be
pursuing
a
vaping
tax,
though
you.
B
Know
let
me
be
up
front
with
you
getting
a
little
ahead
of
myself.
Absolutely
I
will,
in
the
May
14th
present
a
vaping
tax
to
the
legislature
for
their
consideration,
their
consent
I
look
forward
to
engaging
the
legislature,
both
sides
of
the
aisle
in
robust
deliberation
of
these
bills.
We
do
have
a
very
challenging
calendar.
They
have
a
challenging
calendar,
but
they
are
an
independent
branch
of
government
and
they
should
be
afforded
the
privilege
and
the
right.
The
foundational
honor
they've
been
bestowed
by
the
people.
B
The
state
of
California
make
that
determination
for
themselves
of
what's
important
on
behalf
of
their
constituency
and
I
will
deeply
respect
that
and
I
admire
the
work
of
so
many
that
have
continued,
despite
the
stay-at-home
order,
and
despite
not
being
in
session,
how
proactive
and
engaged
they
have
been
not
only
with
their
constituency
at
in
their
districts,
but
more
broadly
with
all
of
us
here
in
the
state
operation
center.
So
we'll
see
what
comes
down,
but
the
legislative
leaders
have
been
spectacular,
trying
to
distill
the
essence.
B
But
there
is
a
lot
of
discussion
and
debate
about
what
is
the
essence
of
this
moment
and
you
just
highlighted,
for
example,
one
of
them
vaping
concern
that
is
still
real,
despite
kovin,
19
and
I
think
deserves
attention
as
well.
It
will
have
attention
in
terms
of
our
budgets,
the
middle
on
May,
14,
Alexei,.
F
Hi
governor
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
some
comments.
He
made
a
few
days
ago
about
the
western
states
pact.
You
talked
about
it
largely
in
terms
of
advising
advisory
discussions
happening
behind
the
scenes
and
I'm
curious.
If
there's
anything
under
discussion
to
make
that
pact
more
formal.
The
way
northeastern
states
have
done
to
negotiate
for
PPE
together
and,
if
not,
why
make
such
a
big
public
announcement
about?
What's
largely
just
an
advisory
collaborative
with
it,
an
effort
to
create
a
counterweight
to
the
Trump
administration
on
coronavirus
response?
No.
B
It
was
a
spirit
of
collaboration
that
was
alive
and
well
and
made
visible
when
we
announced
it.
We'd
been
working
for
over
a
week,
pre
announcement,
particularly
with
jay
Inslee,
oh
I've,
known
for
years,
close
personal
friend,
not
just
a
well
respected
governor
leader
to
clean
climate
change,
and
so
many
other
social
justice
causes
Governor
Brown
in
Oregon,
I've,
gotten
to
know
very
very
closely,
and
so
we've
been
talking
full
disclosure
more
broadly
for
the
last
two
years
at
least
my
year-and-a-half
as
governor
about
a
West,
Coast
collaborative
that
goes
even
beyond
this
moment.
B
We've
been
talking
more
broadly
about
a
growth
and
inclusion
strategy.
It's
a
phrase
you
may
have
heard
me
say
on
multiple
occasions:
it
comes
from
a
lot
of
the
conversations
we've
had
about
issues
of
disparity
issues
of
poverty
and
the
unique
dynamics
of
these
West
Coast
economies,
in
terms
of
our
innovative
spirit
and
the
entrepreneurial
spirit
that
really
defines
the
West
Coast,
and
so
we've
been
having
those
conversations
and
we
began
to
formalize
them
and
decided
to
advance
that
pact.
It
wasn't
done
in
a
political
frame.
B
It
was
just
done
in
a
frame
of
collaboration
and
and
really
codifying
what
was
opening
on
the
natural
and
doing
it
a
little
bit
more
formally.
To
be
candid
with
you,
as
I
was
last
week,
it's
really
been
an
extraordinary
success
in
this
respect.
I
mentioned
this
even
on
Monday
that
when
we
had
the
pleasure
of
having
jared
Polis
from
colorado,
join
us
and
the
wonderful
governor
another
just
spectacular
partner,
we
do
so
much
work
together
in
Lake,
Tahoe
and
elsewhere
on
border
issues,
governor
syslog,
from
Nevada
when
they
joined
our
PAC.
B
B
From
those
counties
in
terms
of
self
certification
attesting
to
these
containment
plans
and
protection
plans,
so
I
I've
been
I've
been
blessed
by
it.
I
think
it's
a
it's
also
open
up
the
doors,
as
you
know,
on
PPE,
even
broad.
More
broadly,
we've
been
talking
other
governor's
even
outside
of
this
collaborative
on
just
ways.
We
can
be
more
collaborative
in
the
PPE
space
and
sharing
best
practices
on
antibody
tests
and
others.
B
E
High
seminar,
just
what
you
were
just
talking
about,
given
the
difficulty
states,
have
had
in
securing
PPE
and
testing
equipment.
How's
your
administration,
having
a
discussions
with
the
legislature
about
the
possibility
of
enacting
a
state,
wide
defense
production
Act.
That
would
give
the
state
government
more
control
over
production
and
crediting
yeah.
B
We've
we've
reviewed
that
I
considered
that
a
few
months
back,
we
actually
have
dozens
and
dozens
of
people
that
are
pardoned.
You
may
recall
our
announcement
I
think
we
were
down
at
a
bloom
energy
in
silicon
Valley,
where
we
announced
this
new
supply
site
and
we
wanted
people
to
utilize
that
site
that
may
be
procuring,
producing
or
willing
to
procure
and
produce
materials,
sanitation
and
the
like
to
the
state.
We
highlighted
a
number
of
those
companies
that
actually
are
participating.
B
The
manufacturing
of
gowns
and
cloth
masks
hand
sanitizers
one
of
the
biggest
companies
in
the
world.
Budweiser
actually
just
delivered
a
bunch
of
hand,
sanitizer,
CDCR
and
Prison
Industries
are
doing
their
own
hand
sanitizers
and
off
making
just
as
examples
us
on
the
manufacturing.
There
may
not
have
been
highlighted
a
wonderful
company
up
in
Sonoma
doing
the
same:
st.
John's,
knits
they're,
actually,
a
cross
border
down
in
Tijuana,
also
in
Southern
California
repurposing
their
lines.
So
it's
a
long
way
of
saying
this.
G
Opening
and
getting
people
back
to
barber
shop
and
pathologist,
not
fest
up
and
a
lot
of
our
readers
have
been
impacted
by
the
state
on
how
this
is
affecting
your
household
and
I
am
not
kidding
when
I
say:
we've
gotten
half
a
dozen
questions
and
last
week
some
people
want
to
know
if
your
body
buddy
stay
at
home.
Rolls
like
they're
supposed
to
like.
Are
you
getting
haircut
at
home
or
are
you
welcoming
staff
into
your
home
and
how
are
you
doing
with
your
kids
good?
Will
you
share
some
of
those
details
with
us.
B
I'm
glad
people
care.
Thank
you.
It's
the
first
opportunity.
Well,
someone
else
asked
how
is
I
doing
a
few
weeks
ago.
I
was
touched
by
it
still
remember
it
fondly.
Thank
you,
I
think
it's
pretty
obvious
to
you.
I
have
not
had
a
haircut
I'm
a
little
embarrassed
having
this
conversation
as
publicly
as
I
am
having.
So
the
answer
is
no.
There
was
an
experiment
with
Brooklyn,
my
daughter
where
she
did
offer,
because
she
was
have
been
embarrassed
quote-unquote
with
her
father.
B
She
offered
to
cut
it,
but
she
brought
out
some
of
her
craft
scissors,
which
certainly
weren't
up
for
the
task,
but
no,
we
are
abiding
by
it
practice.
What
we
preach.
You
know,
I
I
can't
wait
to
go
back.
Like
all
of
you
have
a
nice
night
out,
restaurant
dinner
I'll
forgive
a
vacation
for
a
while,
but
nothing
would
please
me
more.
B
As
you
know,
Carla
someone
has
started
in
the
restaurant
business
and
hospitality
business
to
enjoy
that
and
that's
why
I'm
eager,
like
everybody
else,
millions
of
us
to
to
make
those
announcements
and
gets
back
to
some
semblance
of
normalcy,
recognizing
that
all
of
this
is
conditioned
on
this
new
reality,
but
no
we're
abiding
by
those
rules.
I
come
in
here
every
day,
as
you
know,
everybody's
tested
before
they
come
into
the
state,
Operations
Center
they
take
things
very
very
seriously.
As
you
know.
Well,
here
the
state
operations
center.
We
moved
our
office
here
now.
B
It
seems
like
months
ago.
I
think
it
may
have
been
from
the
state
capitol
and
my
home
is
our
sanctuary
independent
and
we
don't
mix
in
that
respect
and
when
I
go
out
in
public
I'll
wear
a
mask,
though
I'll
tell
you
my
time
out
in
the
public
has
been
very
limited
because
most
of
it
has
been
spent
here.
H
Hi
governor
two
questions,
so
first,
are
you
saying
that
your
administration
is
going
to
release
the
details
of
the
contract
with
BYZ
before
it
is
fulfilled?
I
know,
just
this
week
your
administration
said
that
it
was
not
disclosed
the
contract
in
response
to
a
PRA
by
aap,
and
it
sounds
like
other
news
outlets.
So
are
you
saying
that
that
now
will
be.
B
Very
clearly,
let
me
answer
that
and
yes,
you
deserve
it.
Look!
Here's
here's
the
thing,
I've
been
very
honest
with
you
and
I
know:
I've
done
this
a
while
and
and
I
respect
the
work
you
do
and
and
and
I
respect
your
obligation
to
do
that
work,
and
so
you
know
this
is
this
is
always
a
challenge.
Isn't
it
we
we
want
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible.
My
gosh
I
I
want
to
take
a
back
seat
to
no
one
in
terms
of
my
desire.
Do
that
same
time,
I
want
to
deliver
on.
B
What's
so
foundational
so
important.
That
literally
can
impact
the
lives
of
thousands
of
people.
Maybe
tens
of
thousands
I
don't
want
to
overstate
it,
but
literally
thousands
of
people.
If
we're
not
successful,
and
so
it's
been
that
that
give
and
take
here's
the
good
news
we
have
gotten
sucked.
We
got
the
early
deliveries
on
that
contract
that
came
in
earlier
than
we
expected
and
they've
been
coming
in
consistently
and
that's
why
I
feel
I
told
the
team
guys
just
now
I'm
confident
this
is
coming
in.
Remember
we
wanted
this
to
get
done
and
we're
confident.
B
B
Do
you
put
it
out
cuz,
we
negotiate
a
pretty
good
price
in
middle
of
all
this
remember
they
were
buying
some
masks
at
12
bucks,
a
mask
other
states,
the
federal
government,
six,
seven
eight
dollars
mask
I,
just
want
you
to
contextualise
when
you
see
the
contract,
and
so
you
want
to
share
it
with
you
and
when
you
see
it
this
week,
I
hope
you'll.
Consider
those
price
points
we're
able
to
negotiate
up
against
where
the
market
was
not
where
the
Margo
was
three
years
ago.
B
That's
an
apple
and
an
orange,
but
where
the
market
was
and
what
other
states
are
currently
providing
and
you'll
feel
you'll
feel
my
frustration
of
why
I
really
wish
we
could
have
put
those
out
weeks
ago,
but
again
we're
in
a
dynamic
environment.
You've
been
writing
a
lot
about
it.
Things
that
were
promised
to
come
in
got
got
stopped
and
there's
a
geopolitical
reality
here
too
I
don't
wanna
get
into
that,
because
then
I
really
will
put
things
but
there's
a
there's.
B
I
B
Gonna
take
longer
than
I
think
a
lot
of
people
think
it's
gonna,
take
a
lot
longer
than
people
never
experienced
anything
like
this
in
our
lifetime.
This
is
depression-era
numbers
in
terms
of
the
unemployment
you'll
see
across
this
country,
not
just
in
the
state
of
California.
Again,
please
just
do
the
math
on
the
number
of
unemployed
Californians
that
have
filed
just
since
March
12th.
Just
since
March
12th,
we
had
record
low
unemployment.
B
In
my
january
announcement
record
reserves,
we
were
enjoying
another
surplus
and
you're
gonna
see
a
budget
that
comes
out
tens
of
billions
of
dollars,
short
of
where
it
needs
to
be
I,
can't
make
this
more
plain.
I've
been
very
direct
with
conversations
we've
had
with
our
congressional
representatives.
B
Democrats
Republicans
have
been
very
direct
with
you
publicly
on
dozen
prosecutions
easily
made
public
the
letter
we've
sent
to
Speaker
Pelosi
we've
been
working
very
directly
with
Speaker
Pelosi
on
what
we
believe
our
needs
will
be
to
take
care
of
the
most
vulnerable
Californians
that
will
be
impacted
by
revenue
reductions
and
loss
and
deal
with
the
most
vulnerable
families
that
are
dealing
with
job
losses
and
struggling
to
make
ends
meet.
These
numbers
are
jaw-dropping
and
it
is
alarming
and
I
just
hope.
B
People
are
preparing
themselves
not
just
for
the
clarity
around
these
numbers,
but
preparing
for
the
effort
that
we
all
need
to
engage
together
to
undertake
to
unwind
that
and
get
back
on
our
feet.
So
let
me
just
answer
that
point
of
your
question:
I
have
no
trepidation
all
the
confidence
of
the
world
that
we
will
recover
and
we
will
be
a
stronger
Society
will
be
a
smarter
society,
stronger
society,
more
resilient
state
and
nation.
No
doubt
in
my
mind,
but
it's
going
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time.
B
With
that,
let
me
thank
all
of
you
for
as
always
your
time
and
attention,
and
let
me
thank
those
of
you
that
are
paying
particular
attention
to
these
briefings.
Let
me
thank
you
for
your
stewardship.
Let
me
thank
you
for
your
faith
and
devotion
to
the
cause
that
unites
all
of
us
and
that's
our
public
health.
Thank
you
for
practicing
social
distancing.
Thank
you
for
physically
distancing
against
others.
Thank
you
for
wearing
face
coverings
when
you
otherwise
can't
practice
physical
distancing.
Thank
you
to
community
leaders.
B
Thank
you
to
faith
leaders,
thank
you
to
those
that
are
working
collaboratively
with
our
administration
to
to
thoughtfully
and
judiciously
move
into
Phase
two.
Thank
you
for
those
that
have
the
spirit
of
cooperation,
not
just
protests.
Thank
you
to
the
protesters
for
expressing
their
voice
and
expressing
their
frustration.
Thank
you
to
people
that
agree
and
disagree
all
of
you
for
doing
what
you've
done
to
help
California
get
to
this
point.
