B
The
county
had
experienced
a
significant
rise
in
number
of
transmissions
related
to
covet.
19.
concern
was
made
more
paramount,
as
it
relates
to
the
overwhelming
situation
for
the
hospital
system,
not
only
in
the
icus,
but
the
ability
to
provide
for
emergency
care,
more
broadly
diversion
rates
for
ambulances,
health
care
personnel
questions.
B
A
lot
of
stress
that
was
placed
because
of
this
pandemic
on
the
county.
On
june
1st,
we
committed
to
a
new
process
a
new
protocol
to
help
support
the
county
in
their
efforts,
began
the
process
of
decompressing
their
hospital
system.
Over
650
patients
were
moved
out
of
imperial
county
hospitals
into
surrounding
and
neighboring
communities,
and
in
some
instances
we
even
brought
patients
here
into
northern
california.
B
We
approached
our
strategy
in
the
county
more
as
a
strike
team
more
as
a
unified
command
approach,
something
you
would
see
more
traditionally
as
it
relates
to
how
we
organize
and
construct
our
approach
to
dealing
with
other
emergencies
like
wildfires
and
the
like.
That
process
took
shape
again
at
the
beginning
of
june,
at
a
time
when
we
had
transmission
rates,
positivity
rates
north
of
30
percent
in
imperial
county.
In
fact,
it
peaked
at
30.3
percent.
You
can
see
on
this
graph.
B
The
number
of
cases
reflected
in
imperial
county
in
the
blue
line
substantially
outpacing
the
number
of
cases
in
the
rest
of
the
state.
This
graft
certainly
presents
itself
as
a
spike
in
cases
in
imperial
county.
It
required
a
new
approach,
new
strategies
and
new
accountability
structures,
and
that's
exactly
what
took
place
the
model
now
as
we're
referring
to
it.
The
imperial
model
was
all
about
providing
supports.
Building
capacity
at
the
local
level.
B
Filling
in
gaps
meeting
needs
both
on
personal
protective
gear,
not
just
personnel
meeting
the
needs
of
the
hospital
system
providing
additional
supports,
new
strategies
and
prevention
from
psa
campaigns,
culturally
competent
messages
that
were
delivered
to
individuals
as
well
as
businesses
and,
more
broadly,
the
community
at
large.
In
addition
to
sectoral
closures
that
we
made
abundantly
clear
as
it
relates
to
moving
forward
to
address
the
concerns
that
were
flaring
up
in
certain
sectors
of
the
economy
in
the
valley,
you
can
see
on
this
slide
the
number
of
cases
as
they
began
to
spike.
B
You
could
see
that
line
spiked
and
substantially
began
its
decline.
30.3
percent,
yesterday's
positivity
rate
still
high,
but
at
11.2
percent
a
successful
approach,
one
that
requires
constant
vigilance,
one
that
we're
continuing
to
engage
in,
but
one
that
long-windedly
has
now
become
a
model
in
terms
of
our
approach.
The
imperial
approach
in
other
parts
of
the
state
last
week,
where
we
last
joined
each
other,
I
began
process
of
announcing
strategies
in
the
central
valley
in
eight
counties
in
the
central
valley.
B
I
mentioned
last
week,
where
I
made
some
announcements
about
our
interventions
in
central
valley
that
we
saw
positivity
rates
on
the
lower
end
in
fresno
at
the
time
at
10.7
percent
and
peaking
around
tulare
at
a
17.7
rate,
not
where
we
were
in
imperial,
but
we
don't
want
to
see
it
go
to
where
imperial
went
and
that's
why
we
felt
it
was
appropriate
to
intervene
using
the
information
using
the
experience,
the
best
practice,
the
data
collection,
the
approach
in
imperial
and
beginning
that
approach
in
the
central
valley.
Why
the
central
valley?
B
Well
again,
this
slide
underscores
the
concerns
you're
starting
to
see
the
hospitalization
and
icu
rates
increase,
not
just
positivity
rates
in
the
valley,
outpacing,
the
rest
of
california,
and
if
you
ask
me
today
what
our
biggest
area
of
concern
in
a
state
as
large
as
ours,
it
is
indeed
the
central
valley
we're
seeing
stabilization
in
other
parts
of
the
state.
You'll
see
some
declines
in
a
moment
when
I
make
presentation,
including
some
stabilization
and
some
modest
declines
in
southern
california.
B
The
central
valley
again
reinforced
by
this
slide,
reinforced
by
our
presentation
in
stockton
last
week
in
our
announcement
last
week,
is
indeed
the
area
of
our
most
important
targeted
interventions.
B
We
are
again
doing
everything
we
can
to
fill
in
local
gaps
and
working
with
counties
to
assess
their
current
dashboard,
as
it
relates
to
data
collection,
identifying
whatever
gaps
may
exist
or
persist
in
their
respective
communities,
but
more
important
than
anything
else.
Identifying
partners,
not
just
partners
from
governmental
agencies,
again
federal
agencies,
five
out
of
the
eight
department
of
defense,
medical
teams,
are
deployed
now
in
the
central
valley,
again
federal
partnerships,
but
also
developing
private
partnerships.
B
Critical
to
develop
partnerships
with
employers,
critical
to
develop
partnerships
with
non-governmental
organizations,
non-profits
ngos
to
again
build
capacity
and
build
our
collective
response
with
a
unified
command
approach
to
addressing
the
concerns
in
the
valley,
and
so
that's
exactly
what
we
highlighted.
Last
week,
we
built
that
partnership
to
include
52
million
dollars
of
new
resources
for
disease
investigation,
for
contact
tracing
and
for
our
isolation
and
quarantine
efforts.
B
In
particular,
they
have
been
able
to
organize
a
collective
effort,
6.5
million
of
additional
dollars
resources
that
philanthropy
has
brought
to
the
table
to
supplement
or
increase,
rather,
the
52
million
dollar
contribution
that
we
announced
last
week,
and
this
is
for
rent
supplies,
really
helping
individuals
with
utility
bills
and
the
like
and
focusing
on
the
most
vulnerable
and
the
most
vulnerable
families
and
remember
this
is-
and
dr
galley
has
made
this
abundantly
clear
in
a
number
of
his
presentations.
B
B
Disproportionately
impacting
the
community
in
the
central
valley,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
the
central
valley,
I
hope
we
can
really
paint
a
picture
in
terms
of
our
consciousness
of
how
impactful
this
has
been
on
the
latinx
community
and
that's
why
our
targeted
interventions
disproportionately
are
focusing
on
essential
workforce
on
farm
workers,
on
critical
workforce
and
hospitality,
retail
sector
and
the
like
that
is
being
impacted
by
this
disease,
and
so
I
wanted
to
begin
today,
as
we
left
off
last
week,
reinforcing
the
merits
of
the
approach
we
took
in
imperial
county
recognizing
again
good
enough.
B
Never
is
recognizing,
as
I
do
as
we
do,
that
the
effort
is
ongoing.
There's
a
constancy
to
our
focus,
there's
not
just
a
passing
interest
in
these
efforts.
They're
not
episodic,
there's
a
full
blown
commitment
to
follow
through
to
bend
this
curve
to
suppress
the
growth
and
ultimately
extinguish
this
virus,
which
is
indeed
our
long-term
goal,
or
at
least
mitigate
its
impacts
through
therapeutics
and
vaccination
as
it
relates
to
the
efforts
statewide
to
do
the
same.
B
I
want
to
give
you
some
good
news,
and
that
is
our
number
of
positive
cases.
Yesterday
was
five
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty
nine.
That
is
a
one
day
number
and
again,
I've
made
this
point
abundantly
abundant
over
the
past,
and
that
is,
I
don't
look
to
one
day
numbers
they
go
up.
They
go
down.
There's
some
weekend
reporting
often
that
is
example
on
mondays.
B
That's
why
the
seven
day
average
becomes
even
more
important
and
that
seven
day
average
you'll
see
at
and
776
four
that
seven
day
average
by
the
way
is
down
roughly
twenty
one
point:
two
percent
from
the
previous
seven
day,
average,
that's
good
news.
Twenty
one
point:
two
percent
decline.
The
last
time
you
saw
a
slide
like
this.
B
The
number
was
north
of
9
800,
daily
average
cases
98.59
to
be
exact
so
from
9859
cases,
seven
day,
average
from
a
week
ago,
now
down
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
sixty
four
twenty
one
point:
two
percent
decline
from
our
previous
reporting
period.
Again,
that's
case
numbers
and
I
caution
folks,
look.
I've
said
this
in
the
past.
Others
have
said
this
some
for
different
purposes.
Then
the
purpose
which
we
reinforce
this
as
we
increase
our
tests,
you're
going
to
see
an
increase
in
case
numbers.
B
They
become
more
profoundly
significant
from
the
perspective
of
mortality
from
the
perspective
of
our
health
care
delivery
system
and
our
capacity,
we
want
to
test
as
many
people
as
we
can,
but
the
purpose
of
the
test
is
not
just
to
show
a
number:
it's
b,
it's
an
effort
to
have
a
sense
of
where
the
community
spread
is
how
we
can
mitigate
that
spread,
how
we
can
help
support
our
contact,
tracers,
isolate,
quarantined
people
and
ultimately
mitigate
the
impact
to
our
hospital
system
and
into
our
icus,
and
so
that's
why
the
positivity
rate
this
number,
if
you've
watched
these
presentations
you're
very
familiar
with
the
slide.
B
This
positivity
rate
is
so
important.
Here
is
extending
on
the
narrative
of
some
early
good
signs,
21.2
decline
in
the
seven
day,
average
total
number
of
positive
cases,
but
the
positivity
rate
is
also
seeing
a
decline,
as
we've
increased
our
daily
average
test,
and
you
can
see
the
number
126
000,
almost
127
000
daily
average
test
about
140,
just
shy
of
149
000
tests.
Yesterday,
a
little
bit
more
than
that
the
day
prior,
we
actually
reached
177
000
tests
a
few
days
ago,
but
our
average
daily
tests
continue
to
go
up.
B
The
good
news
is
the
total
number
of
people
testing
positive
is
now
going
down.
We
have
gone
down
to
seven
percent.
This
reflected
in
this
slide
over
a
14-day
period
shows
that
7.5
number
that
we
presented
to
you
on
multiple
occasions
and
now
again
tracking
down
to
seven
percent.
This
is
the
14
day
number.
I
often
provide
you
the
seven
day,
positivity
rate,
that
last
time
I
was
with
you.
We
made
a
presentation
formally
with
you,
where
I
shared
slides,
which
was
on
the
24th
of
july,
not
the
presentation
in
stockton.
B
Last
week,
the
seven
day,
positivity
rate
was
7.8
percent
got
to
about
eight
percent
at
its
peak
the
seven
day,
positivity
rate
is
lower
now
than
the
14
day.
It's
down
to
six
point
one
percent,
so
14-day
positivity
rate
reflected
in
the
slide
seven
percent
this
seven
day,
positivity
rate
now
down
to
six
point.
One
percent
is
not
where
it
needs
to
be,
it
is
still
too
high.
B
But
again
it
is
good
to
see
this
number
trending
down,
not
trending
up,
not
surprisingly,
as
we
see
positivity
rate
begin
to
trend
down
increased
number
of
people
being
tested,
percentage
of
people
being
tested
relative
to
the
numbers
being
tested
lower.
We
are
now
not
surprisingly
seen
hospitalizations
go
down.
Modestly
10
percent
decrease
in
the
total
number
of
positive
cases
in
our
hospitals
over
a
day
period,
10
percent
decrease
the
last
time
I
shared
slides
with
you.
B
We
had
seen
a
9
increase.
Remember
it
was
much
as
50
percent
a
few
weeks
back
over
a
50
a
14
day
period,
so
50
percent
five
zero
percent
growth.
Now
we're
seeing
10
decline
last
slide
set,
we
share
with
you
over
a
week
ago,
showed
a
nine
percent
increase
so
again,
a
decline
in
total
hospitalizations.
Not
surprisingly,
you'll
see
the
health
care
system
capacity
with
total
number
of
patients
declining.
B
It's
just
shy
of
nine
percent
of
our
total
capacity.
It's
holding
a
relatively
steady,
not
increasing
as
you've
seen
in
some
previous
slides
hospitalizations
go
down.
We
encourage
to
see
icu
admissions,
also
trending
down
last
slide
deck.
We
provided
11
increase
in
icu
admissions
you'll,
see
reflected
in
this
slide,
5
decrease
in
icu
emissions.
So
again
these
are
statewide
numbers.
It
does
not
reflect.
B
The
reality
in
the
central
valley
doesn't
necessarily
reflect
the
reality
where
you're
living
in
a
particular
county,
a
particular
part
of
the
state,
but
the
overall
trend,
both
again
positivity
rates
hospitalizations
now
icus,
is
showing
a
decrease
from
where
we
were
over
a
week
ago.
Encouraging
signs,
but
one
week
does
not
make
a
kind
of
trend
that
gives
us
confidence
to
generate
headlines.
We
are
looking
forward
to
that
and
we'll
need
to
see
another
few
weeks
of
this
kind
of
data
to
come
in
to
feel
more
confident
about
where
we
are
as
a
state.
B
The
good
news
is,
we
do
feel
confident
in
our
critical
care
capacity.
The
icu
numbers
declining
the
total
number
of
icu
patients
reflected
here
in
this
graph
to
our
capacity
dropped,
modestly
from
23
percent
to
9
hospitalizations
about
9
percent,
but
did
did
not
decline.
Still
within
a
percentage
point
here,
we
were
able
to
see
modest
decline
over
the
last
reporting
period
when
we
presented
this
slide,
deck
38
counties
are
now
on
our
monitoring
list.
B
You'll
recall
37
counties
when
we
announced
that
santa
clara
county
was
added
to
our
list
when
we
were
in
stockton
last
week
now
38
counties.
This
includes
san
mateo
county
on
the
list,
58
counties
in
the
state
of
california,
though
again
these
38
counties
represent
the
vast
majority
of
the
population
in
the
state
and
this
county
monitoring.
B
This
is
profoundly
important
to
all
of
you
that
live
in
those
counties
as
it
relates
to
the
sectoral
guidelines
we
put
out
more
restrictive
in
these
counties
than
in
other
counties,
and
certainly
more
restrictive
as
it
relates
to
reopening
our
schools.
Goal
ultimately,
is
to
get
off
this
list
for
two
weeks,
and
that
gives
us
some
confidence
based
on
cdc
guidelines.
B
Our
own
experience
here
in
the
state
of
california
to
consider
consider
making
modifications,
and
certainly
along
the
guidelines
that
we
put
out
as
relates
to
our
public
education
system
and
private
school
system
as
well.
That
14-day
period
is
foundational
in
terms
of
any
subsequent
modifications
to
distance
learning,
which
is
foundationally
required
in
these
38
counties.
I'll
conclude,
as
always
to
encourage
people
if
you
are
living
with
an
individual
who's
tested
positive
for
covid
19.
B
That
is
incredibly
important
because
of
mixed
families.
Multi-Generational
families
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
spread
now
in
people's
backyards,
their
front
yards
as
well
as
in
their
living
rooms,
and
that's
why
we
thought
important
to
reinforce
remind
people
of
the
importance
if
you
are
living
with
someone
who's
tested,
positive
or
has
come
into
contact
with
someone
who's
tested,
positive,
please
stay
at
home.
B
B
Accordingly,
we
remind
you,
as
always,
the
most
important
non-pharmaceutical
invention
you
can
make
is
wearing
these
masks
again
doing
everything
in
your
power
to
physically
distance
yourself
from
people
that
are
not
part
of
that
cohort
in
your
household
continue
to
wash
your
hands
more
broadly
and
minimize
mixing.
I
just
want
to
reinforce
this.
It
needs
to
be
reinforced
even
more
minimize,
mixing
to
the
extent
possible
again
that
mixing
could
occur
in
your
backyard,
your
front
yard,
but
also
again
in
your
living
room.
B
When
you
bring
people
outside
your
immediate
household,
over
extended
family
members
or
just
generationally,
you
are
connecting
with
loved
ones
and
mixing
in
a
way
that
can
increase
the
likelihood
of
the
spread
of
the
virus,
and
so
that's
the
update
for
the
day.
I
want
to
just
make
one
final
point
reference
and
it's
important
one,
and
that
is
total
number
of
deaths
in
this
state-
has
increased
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
weeks.
B
B
And
while
it's
absolutely
true-
and
I
don't
want
to
be
an
alarmist-
it's
absolutely
true-
that
number
of
people
that
contact
this
disease
that
are
in
their
late
teens,
even
early
teens.
The
likelihood
of
death
is
very,
very
low.
B
The
reality
is,
we
tragically
lost
a
teenager
to
this
virus
and
it's
just
a
reminder,
sober
reminder
of
how
powerful
and
impactful
and
deadly
this
disease
remains
to
be
and
how
important
it
is
to
do
the
kind
of
work
we
all
must
do
as
a
society
as
a
community
and
as
individuals
to
do
what
we
can
to
mitigate
that
spread
to
wear
those
masks
to
physically
distance,
to
avoid
the
kind
of
mixing
large
crowds
and
outside
your
immediate
household
as
much
as
you
possibly
can
32
additional
lies
were
lost
in
our
last
reporting
period
yesterday,
but
I
want
to
just
caution:
you
32
is
a
lower
number
than
you've
seen
in
the
past,
the
average
numbers
now
well
north
of
100,
and
with
the
increase
we've
experienced
over
the
last
few
weeks,
the
lagging
number
lagging
indicator
always
in
terms
of
the
deaths.
B
This
number
is
reflected
as
a
lagging
indicator,
meaning
we're
likely
to
see
those
numbers
remain
stubbornly
high
over
the
course
of
the
next
number
of
days,
potentially
next
week,
or
so
we're
going
to
monitor
that
closely.
We'll
talk
openly
and
honestly
as
much
as
we
can
about
it,
I
don't
want
you
to
be
misled
into
feeling
some
more
confidence
about
that.
B
32
number
again,
look
at
those
7
and
14
day
averages
not
just
one
day
over
another
day,
121
lives
on
average
we've
lost
a
day
as
an
example
just
over
the
14-day
period,
as
it
relates
to
the
deaths
associated
with
copenhagen.
So
that's
that's
an
update
on
where
we
are.
I
again
want
to
remind
everybody
of
the
importance
of
targeting
our
focus
and
continuing
to
build
capacity
and
build
partnerships.
B
B
We've
been
out
alcohol
beverage
control
and
been
out
in
bars
and
restaurants
and
thousands
of
in-person
visits.
Osha
has
been
out
and
tens
of
thousands
of
of
visits,
and
I
just
want
to
mark
this
as
a
point
of
consideration
and
and
thought
the
vast
majority
of
businesses
are
doing
everything
in
their
power
doing
their
best.
Under
these
very
difficult
circumstances.
B
But
I
do
just
want
to
acknowledge
how
the
business
sector
is
doing
and
under
credible
circumstances,
how
grateful
we
are
to
all
of
you
that
are
represented
in
that
respect
and
to
all
of
the
employees
and
customers
that
are
doing
their
best
as
well,
under
very
trying
and
difficult
circumstances
with
that.
Of
course,
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
Katie
orr
kqed
hi
governor,
thank
you
for
taking
my
question
as
schools
get
ready
to
reopen
distance
learning
and
the
vast
majority
of
them
there
are
some
districts
that
are
requiring
teachers
to
actually
go
into
their
classroom
and
teach
their
distance
learning
from
those
schools
that
has
some
teachers
upset.
They
cite
safety
concerns,
also
child
care
issues.
What
is
your
take
on
that?
Do
you
think
teachers
should
be
required
to
go
to
schools
to
teach.
B
No,
I
think
that
has
to
be
done.
First
of
all,
we
give
a
lot
of
discretion
to
local
what
we
call
leas.
These
are
local
education
agencies,
authorities,
local
capacity
to
make
those
decisions,
but
based
upon
bargaining
based
upon
working
with
labor
and
making
those
decision
decisions
in
a
collaborative
frame.
I
don't
believe
anyone
should
be
forced
to
put
their
life
and
health
at
risk
period
full
stop
and
if
people
feel
their
lives
are
being
put
at
risk
and
their
health
is
being
put
at
risk.
B
We
are
very
grateful
for
their
support
and
guidance
of
a
lot
of
the
information
that
we
put
out
and
the
formal
guidelines
that
we
put
out
and
the
announcement
we
made
a
few
weeks
ago
as
it
relates
to
the
upcoming
school
year.
It's
been
done
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
cooperation,
and
I
expect
and
really
demand
respectfully
that
that
spirit
of
collaboration
and
cooperation
manifests
at
the
local
level
and
people
not
be
put
into
harm's
way
as
caregivers
as
teachers
as
support
staff
from
janitors
to
bus
drivers
as
secretaries
to
maintenance
workers
as
well.
E
Hello,
governor
some
legislators
are
presenting
different
bills
at
the
capitol
right
now
that
have
to
do
with
protecting
the
tenants
who
haven't
been
able
to
pay
rent
because
of
the
pandemics
assembly
members
here
with
co-authors
and
other
giraffes,
who
presented
a
bill
that
will
provide
rental
and
mortgage
relief.
Are
you
going
to
support
this
bill
or
what
bills
are
you
going
to
support
to
help
those
who,
for
a
fifth
month
in
a
row,
won't
be
able
to
pay
rent.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
important
question.
As
you
know,
the
judicial
council
has
an
order.
That
expires
currently
expires
on
august
14th.
You
may
be
very
familiar.
Others
certainly
familiar
with
the
executive
orders
that
I've
put
out
going
back
many
many
months
and
the
support
we
provided
the
clarification,
the
guidance
we
put
out
to
encourage
local
government
to
make
decisions,
as
it
relates
to
evictions
and
the
like
for
themselves.
B
We
are
actively.
This
is
specific
to
your
question.
We
are
actively
engaged
with
legislative
leadership,
actively
engaged
on
a
number
of
these
specific
bills,
and
we
are
working
have
been
for
a
number
of
weeks,
my
team
and
representative
staffs
in
the
legislature
to
see
where
we
can
find
common
ground
to
move
forward
with
the
kind
of
acuity
and
focus
and
determination.
That's
required
of
the
moment.
We
deeply
recognize
people's
anxiety.
B
We
deeply
recognize
what's
at
stake
and,
as
a
consequence,
the
spirit
of
collaboration,
I
assure
you,
is
alive
and
well
with
not
only
the
authors
that
you
referenced,
but
their
respective
leadership
that
demonstrably
is
committed
and
focused
to
this.
So
we
are
engaged.
The
legislature
is
back
in
session
and
we
are
working
in
real
time
and
we're
working
against
that
clock.
That
august
14th
clock
as
it
relates
to
the
judicial
council's
decision
to
put
this
back
in
the
hands
of
the
legislature
and
the
executive
branch
and
we'll
be
up
to
that
task.
F
Governor
you
had
said
that
there
would
be
a
process
for
elementary
schools
to
apply
for
a
waiver
so
that
they
can
have
classroom
instruction,
even
if
they
are
in
a
county
on
the
state's
monitoring
list,
but
there's
still
no
process
and
some
schools
that
are
interested
in
applying
say
that
time
is
running
out.
So
when
will
the
details
of
this
waiver
process
be
revealed.
B
This
afternoon
and
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
many
of
those
same
officials
that
expressed
concern.
We
have
been
engaged
a
very
collaborative
process
over
the
last
week.
In
particular,
there
were
some
modifications
that
were
made
last
week
based
upon
the
impact,
rather
the
input
from
many
in
the
educational
field,
not
just
our
health
field
as
well.
So
this
afternoon.
G
H
Thank
you
very
much
good
afternoon
governor
a
question
for
actor
gali
too,
but,
first
of
all
for
you,
we
hear
that
contact
tracing
is
very,
very
important
in
helping
to
slow
or
stop
the
spread.
But
yet
we
don't
hear
much
about
contact
tracing
here
in
the
state.
So
could
you
update
us
on
what
is
happening
with
that
process
of
contact
tracing
and
then
for
dr
galley
if
he
could
clear
up
when
people
need
to
get
tested
if
they
believe
they
might
have
been
exposed?
H
If
you
are
in
a
gathering,
if
you
find
yourself,
you
may
have
been
exposed
on
sunday,
because
there
were
people
that
were
around
you
would
monday's
test.
Show
that
you're
positive.
When
are
you
actually
infected
that
a
test
would
show
whether
you're,
positive
or
negative,
accurately,
and
we've
been
hearing
also
about
vitamin
d
and
opposed
to
the
immune
system?
That's
resurfacing
again,
so
if
he
can
clear
up
that
means
anything.
I'd
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
B
No,
I
appreciate
the
questions
dr
galley
we'll
be
up
here
in
just
a
moment.
Let
me
just
say
a
number
of
things
and
we've
made
a
number
of
presentations
over
the
course
last
number
of
months,
as
it
relates
to
our
partnership
with
ucsf
our
partnership
with
ucla
to
train
a
cohort
of
contact.
Tracers,
we
announced
a
few
weeks
back
that
we
have
trained
over
10
000
meeting
our
phase,
one
goals
of
contact
tracers.
B
When
we
do
when
we
do
reopen
for
in-person
learning,
which
is
foundational
and
is
ultimately
our
goal
and
our
commitment
if
we
can
mitigate
the
spread
and
see
a
decline
in
the
spread
of
this
disease,
but
to
make
available
to
the
school
districts
in
partnership
with
local
health
officials,
these
same
contact
tracers.
We
have
a
new
database
system,
we've
been
very
fortunate
to
have
the
opting
in
of
the
vast
majority
of
counties
into
the
statewide
database
system.
B
It's
a
system
that
is
also
being
utilized
and
deployed
in
some
other
states,
including
massachusetts,
and
that
provides
the
ability
in
real
time
to
share
information
in
this
space.
With
that,
let
me
ask
dr
galley
to
provide
you
a
little
bit
more
information
about
the
contact.
Tracing
talk
a
little
bit
about
vitamin
d
and
talk
about
when,
indeed
someone
who
may
have
been
exposed.
B
What
is
that
station
period
for
determining,
if,
indeed,
they
have
tested,
positive
or
indeed,
are
a
carrier?
Even
a
symptomatic,
carry
of
copper
19,
dr
guy.
I
Tracing
workforce
coupled
with
that
important
disease
investigation
part
where
people
with
trained
skills
in
public
health
and
epidemiology,
try
to
understand
where
the
case
originated
from
not
just
identifying
those
close
contacts
so
that
we
can
make
sure
people
who
need
testing
who
need
to
quarantine
or
isolate,
do
so
in
a
safe,
supported
way
for
the
appropriate
amount
of
time.
So
we
continue
to
build
up
that
workforce
in
anticipation
that,
as
we
continue
to
do,
the
things
we
know
reduce
our
case
counts.
I
I
Your
excellent
question
about
when
somebody
should
be
tested
about
three
weeks
ago,
we
unveiled
a
new
testing
prioritization
criteria,
not
just
who
should
be
tested
but
which
labs
should
be
run.
First,
we've
been
experiencing
increased
turnaround
times
for
our
labs
in
california.
As
a
result
of
widespread
testing
across
the
nation,
those
big
national
labs
were
seeing
their
turnaround
times
go
up
pretty
high,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
the
sickest
people.
The
people
with
the
most
clear
and
obvious
covet
symptoms,
get
their
tests
run
first.
I
So
the
first
thing
to
say
is:
if
you
are
at
all
symptomatic
with
covid
19
like
symptoms,
we
encourage
you
to
get
tested
immediately,
reach
out
to
a
provider.
If
you
have
one
go
to
the
covid19.ca.gov
website,
go
to
our
testing
page
and
sign
up
for
a
test
there.
We
think
that
should
happen
immediately.
If
you
are
a
close
contact.
That
means
somebody
who
spent
you
know
15
or
more
minutes,
six
or
so
feet
closer
to
somebody
who's
known,
covet,
positive.
Let's
say
in
an
indoor
gathering
where
you're
not,
unfortunately
using
a
mass.
I
If
you're
experiencing
symptoms,
you
should
go
immediately
and
get
tested
if
you're
not
and
you're
a
close
contact
waiting
about
two
days
roughly
after
that
contact,
I
think,
is
probably
the
best
time
to
go
get
tested.
But
what
we
always
say
is
a
test.
A
negative
test
today
tells
you
that
you
were
negative
at
this
moment.
It
doesn't
mean
that
you
aren't
going
to
be
positive,
the
next
day
or
even
the
next
hour.
So
we
encourage
you
if
you're
a
close
contact
to
somebody.
I
Who's,
positive
and
you've
been
exposed
that
you
do
what
we've
recommended
in
terms
of
quarantine
self-quarantining
for
that
period
of
14
days.
It's
very
absolutely
important,
as
it
relates
to
vitamin
d
and
other
things
to
enhance
your
immune
system.
As
a
physician,
we
always
want
people
to
practice.
Good,
healthy
behaviors.
I
Make
sure
that
you
get
your
rest
that
you
eat
well,
that
if
you're,
if
your
doctor
or
somebody's
recommended
vitamins
that
you
take
those
in
order
that
we
make
sure
that
everyone
is
as
well
positioned
and
suited
to
fight
off,
not
just
kovid
19,
but
anything
else
that
might
be
mixing
around
the
community.
And
this
is
especially
an
important
message.
And
yes,
it's
not
too
early
to
start
talking
about
flu.
J
Yes,
governor,
I
want
to
ask
now
that
we
are
seeing
some
progress
in
the
positivity
rates
and
the
hospitalizations.
What
do
you
think
is
making
the
difference
here?
Is
it
enforcement
actions
at
the
local
and
the
state
level,
as
you
were
talking
about?
Is
it
people
taking
mask
mandates
more
seriously
or
the
the
advice
not
to
gather
more
seriously?
What
is
what
is
helping
us
out
here?
Yeah.
B
I
think
you
answered
your
own
question.
I
say
that
with
deep
respect,
because
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
question,
an
important
question.
I
think
it
is
all
of
the
above
and
a
growing
recognition
in
a
state
where
we
flattened
the
curve.
We
never
experienced
the
spikes
other
parts,
the
country
experience
in
our
own
capacity
to
manifest
meaning
our
own
individual
capacity
to
make
better
decisions
to
physically
distance
to
wash
our
hands
to
avoid
mixing,
as
well
as
the
modifications.
B
Let's
be
candid,
these
sectoral
modifications
that
have
been
very,
very
difficult
and
very
trying
for
small
businesses
in
particular
that
have
just
beared
a
huge
brunt
of
the
impact.
All
of
these
things
in
total
have
made
the
impact,
at
least
as
it
relates
to
what
we're
experiencing
recently.
That
said,
these
are
just
a
few
days.
B
B
B
Well,
some
cases
put
down
their
mask
literally,
not
just
figuratively.
We
started
to
see
that
case
rate
grow.
We
started
to
see
the
background
rates
begin
to
grow,
the
community
spread
begin
to
grow,
and
so
we
had
to
tighten
that
back
up.
So
let
us
not
make
that.
Well,
let's
not
relive
that
experience
again
as
we
work
again
our
way
through
the
first
wave
of
this
pandemic.
B
We
anticipate
the
second
wave
in
the
fall
and
that
second
wave
also
challenged
by
what
dr
galley
just
said,
as
it
relates
to
flu
season
on
top
of
covid
19
likely
having
a
resurgence
in
that
second
wave
around
the
same
time
and
the
impact
that
can
have
in
the
stress
that
can
have
on
our
system.
And
so
all
of
this
is
just
a
reminder
of
the
vigilance
that
is
required
of
the
moment.
G
Thank
you,
governor
several
states
from
hawaii
to
new
york
states
with
lower
case
rates,
have
implemented
orders
to
require
visitors
to
quarantine
for
two
weeks.
Why
is
california
not
done
that?
Can
the
state
really
get
a
handle
on
this
and
keep
it
if
you're
not
quarantining,
people
that
are
coming
in
from
hot
spots.
B
I
think
the
numbers
we
presented
today
prove
that
we
can
get
a
handle
on
it.
The
numbers
that
we
experienced
the
ability
over
the
course
of
the
pandemic
going
back
many
many
months.
We
never
did
a
statewide
moratorium
on
people
coming
into
the
state,
and
yet
we
were
able
to
mitigate
the
growth
of
the
spread
early
on
and
you're
now
seeing
this
modest
decline
that
we've
exampled
here
today.

Yes,
thank
you
governor.
What
do
you
tell
the
businesses
that
have
said
to
us?
They
feel
like
they're
in
a
bad
ping-pong
match
they
santa
clara
county,
for
example,
they
opened
up
and
two
days
later
they
shut
down
san
mateo
county.
They
opened
up
two
weeks
later
they
had
to
shut
back
down.
They
hire
people,
they've
got
to
lay
people
off
they're,
not
certain,
some
of
them
that
they
can
survive.
What
do
you
say
to
those
people
and
is
there
any
kind
of
help
available
to
them?.
B
Yeah
well,
we've
provided
an
account
we
have
in
the
state
of
california.
We
put
up
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
for
small
businesses
that
otherwise
would
fall
through
the
cracks
on
the
ppp
program,
as
well
as
sba
programs
that
many
small
businesses
avail
themselves
to
many
others
are
simply
unable
to
access
those
resources
and
the
state,
through
our
eye
bank,
has
created
a
micro
loan
program
that
we
want
to
not
only
socialize
and
make
more
visible,
but
make
available
for
those
that
are
working
through
this
incredibly
challenging
time
and
you're.
B
B
I
deeply-
and
I
can
assure
you
deeply
appreciate
the
stress
that
many
of
these
small
business
men
and
women
are
going
through
families
that
are
literally
on
the
line
and
the
pact
it's
having
in
terms
of
their
dreams
and
their
future
and
their
health,
and
I
can
only
express
deep
empathy
as
well
as
gratitude
and
a
resolve
for
all
of
us
to
do
what
we
can
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
this
disease.
The
sooner
we
do
that
we
can
get
our
kids
back
to
school.
B
The
sooner
we
do
that
we
can
get
back
to
some
semblance
of
modified
normalcy
as
it
relates
to
being
able
to
open
up
our
businesses
with
some
expectation
that
they
can
remain
open.
So
they
don't
have
to
go
through.
This
whip
saw
back
and
forth
back
and
forth,
and
so
deep
respect,
deep
empathy,
and
let
me
just
in
terms
of
being
a
little
bit
more
prescriptive
offer.
This
covet19.ca.gov
covet19.ca.gov
is
our
resource
site,
and
if
you
are
one
of
those
business
representatives
that
has
just
been
exampled,
please
go
to
that
site.
B
Avail
yourself
to
the
resources
on
that
site,
learn
about
what
we
are
making
available
in
our
state
through
our
eye
bank.
What
go
biz,
which
is
our
business
wing
of
our
state,
go
biz
what
they
avail
in
terms
of
supports
to
help
mitigate
your
stress
and
anxiety.
There
are
all
kinds:
there's
a
suite
of
resources
beyond
just
the
direct
business
loans
that
the
state
has
there's
also
a
lot
of
local
resources.
B
On
top
of
that.
Clearly,
in
addition
to
the
federal
resources,
we're
trying
to
supplement
that
through
philanthropy,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
at
least
take
a
look
at
that
site,
try
to
get
in
touch
with
some
of
our
key
personnel
and
we
can
see
what
we
can
do
to
address
your
unique,
because
every
business
is
unique,
unique.
K
Circumstances-
hey
governor,
as
I'm
sure,
you've
seen
various
interest
groups.
Labor
healthcare
and
environmental
groups-
are
pushing
for
a
tax
on
the
highest
earners,
the
california
teachers
association
among
them
saying
they
need
more
revenue
to
be
able
to
get
back
to
school
safely.
I'm
curious
to
know
if
you
would
be
willing
to
entertain
an
increase
in
taxes
on
california's
top
earners,
including
potentially
in
a
special
session.
B
You
become
familiar
with
me
and
perhaps
every
recent
governor.
I
don't
want
to
necessarily
opine
on
the
process
in
the
legislature,
with
hundreds
of
bills
still
pending
consideration,
reconsideration
and
are
currently
being
debated,
discussed
and
negotiated,
not
only
among
the
two
houses,
but
also
with
the
administration.
L
Thank
you
governor,
I'm
wondering
in
terms
of
congratulations
on
the
progress
that
you
announced.
I
know
you
said
it.
We've
got
a
long
ways
to
go,
but
is
there
a
specific,
measurable
that
you're
looking
at
to
achieve
in
order
to
maybe
get
rid
of
some
of
the
restrictions
we've
seen
and
more
broadly
bigger
picture
question
you
know
california,
isn't
dealing
with
this
in
a
vacuum.
I'm
wondering
what
are
the
key
lessons
you've
learned
from
governors
of
other
states
that
have
done
this
well
and
other
states
that
maybe
haven't
done
it
as
well.
B
Well,
we're
constantly
engaged
and
we're
really
blessed
to
have
a
very
robust
national
governor's
association
and
bipartisanship
that
has
been
manifest
governor
hogan,
the
current
chair.
Soon
to
be
the
ex-chair
new
chair
will
be
coming
in
this
month.
A
republican
governor
from
maryland
who's
just
been
an
outstanding
partner
to
governors
all
across
the
state,
making
that
organization
available,
sharing
best
practices
in
real
time
providing
resources
to
really
drill
down.
B
On
the
merit
of
your
question,
looking
at
procurement
strategies,
looking
at
testing
protocols
looking
at
contact
tracing
and
the
like,
and
so
across
the
spectrum
we've
been
able
to
resource
one
another
pick
the
brains
of
our
respective
colleagues
as
well
as
connect,
as
we
have
more
formally,
as
you
recall,
with
our
western
states
approach
where
they
have
the
ability.
Now
in
real
time,
we
have
the
ability,
in
real
time,
through
that
partnership
to
engage
our
chiefs
of
staff
have
consistent.
B
I
think
it's
a
weekly
now
calls
where
they're,
comparing
and
contrasting
best
practices
discussing
things
that
they're
considering
their
respective
governors
and
administrations,
are
considering
in
terms
of
announcements
or
approaches
and
really
getting
feedback
in
real
time.
It's
turned
out
to
be
an
extraordinarily
robust
partnership
and
turned
out.
B
Partnership
is
working
in
ways
that
perhaps
people
did
not
anticipate
in
the
beginning,
and
so
it's
just
an
example
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
kind
of
work
that
we're
doing
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
sharing
of
best
practices
and
and
practices
frankly
that
all
of
us
want
to
push
to
the
dustbin.
That
said,
the
broader
issue
around
what
we're
looking
for
is
a
consistent
decline
or
consistent
stabilization.
Now
I
caution.
B
We
had
consistent
stabilization
in
our
icus
and
hospitalizations
and
positivity
rates
in
this
state
early
on
in
this
pandemic,
and
so
it's
not
just
stabilizations
we're
looking
for
is.
We
want
to
see
some
market
decline,
stabilization
and
a
commensurate
effort
which
is
critical
of
education,
about
any
modification,
subsequent
modifications
to
our
guidance
and
stay-at-home
orders
and
sectoral
strategies.
B
What
I
think
is
the
most
important
thing
that
I've
reflected
on
last
number
of
months.
I've
made
this
comment
in
the
past
is
that
when
we
began
to
modify
our
state
home
orders,
we
were
focused,
as
understandably,
we
needed
to
be
with
industry
and
employers,
and
we
needed
to
be
equally
focused
in
educating
the
public
about
what
these
modifications
were
and
were
not,
and
so
a
big
and
focused
education
campaign
around
mitigating
the
spread
of
this
virus
and
transmission
of
this
virus.
After
we've
seen
a
decline.
B
Stabilization
is
foundational
in
terms
of
any
subsequent
efforts
to
reopen,
and
so
that's
we're
looking
forward
to
and
based
on
this
last
week,
we
believe
we
will
once
again
experience
that
stabilization
as
long
as
people
continue
to
practice
the
physical
distancing
that
they're
so
familiar
with,
wear
a
mask
with
your
can
on
sanitation,
avoid,
or
at
least
minimize,
as
much
mixing
as
you
possibly
can.
I
appreciate
everybody's
good
work.
B
I
thank
them
for
the
well
everything
we
presented
here
today
is
because
of
you
and
your
commitment,
your
resolve
and
your
hard
work,
and
so
I
just
want
to
extend
appreciation
for
your
patience,
your
perseverance
and
your
faith
and
devotion
to
this
cause
of
mitigating
this
disease.
Ending
this
pandemic
here
in
the
state
look
forward
to
catching
back
up,
sharing
some
updated
information
in
the
next
day
or
two.
Thank
you.
