Came
across
a
wonderful
quote
from
Winston
Churchill
when
talking
about
free
enterprise-
and
he
said
some
people
see
free
enterprise
as
a
tiger
that
needs
to
be
shot,
others
as
a
cow
that
needs
to
be
milked,
not
enough.
People
see
free
enterprise
for
what
it
actually
is.
A
healthy
horse
pulling
a
sturdy
wagon.
B
Listen
to
those
words
today
or
you
listen
those
words
today
and
I.
Couldn't
imagine
Winston,
Churchill
saying
them
at
this
moment,
particularly
with
the
national
headlines
of
6.6
million
Americans
filing
for
unemployment
insurance
with
the
headlines
that
we've
seen
as
a
trend
line
for
the
last
few
weeks
and
March
12th
of
this
year,
we
started
to
see
applications
for
unemployment
insurance
here
in
the
state
of
California
skyrocket.
B
Now
over
1.9
million
Californians
alone,
since
March
12th
had
filed
for
unemployment
insurance,
we've
averaged
a
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
unemployment
insurance
claims
on
a
daily
basis
in
this
state
over
just
the
last
seven
days.
The
economic
consequences
are
profound
and
I
want
to
speak
to
those
issues
today,
not
only
from
the
individuals
perspective
as
it
relates
to
unemployment,
insurance
claims,
the
issue
of
jobs,
but
also
the
impact
on
Main
Street
impact
on
small
businesses.
B
Forty-Nine
percent
of
state
employees,
or
rather
49
percent
of
all
private
sector
employees
in
the
state
of
California
are
employed
by
small
businesses.
People
that
make
a
go
of
it,
put
everything
on
the
line,
take
risks
in
ways
large
and
small.
When
we
think
about
small
businesses,
it's
not
someone
with
hundreds
of
employees.
B
Unless
we
are
aware
of
what
it
is
exactly
that
is
being
provided
and
how
we
can
access
those
supports,
so
let
me
begin
with
what
the
state
is
now
announcing
and
advancing
as
it
relates
to
supporting
small
businesses.
Every
small
business,
man
or
woman
knows
exactly
what
I'm
referencing.
When
it
comes
to
the
issue
of
sales
tax,
we
collect
your
sales
tax
as
a
small
business.
We
send
it
to
the
state
disturb
it
it
back
down
to
the
cities
and
counties
the
customer
pays
the
sales
tax.
B
We
hold
that
into
an
account
and
every
quarter
we
fill
out
forms
small
business,
men
and
women
and
I'm
a
former
small
business.
Minute
Man,
so
I
know
a
thing
or
two
about
this,
and
we
send
that
money
to
the
state.
What
we
are
calling
for
today
is
a
one-year
reprieve
for
small
businesses,
where
no
fines,
no
penalties,
will
be
attached
where
they
can
take
upwards
of
$50,000
as
a
loan
and
not
have
to
pay
the
state
those
sales
tax
receipts
for
12
months.
B
B
B
You
can
get
a
$10,000
loan
up
front
as
your
application
is
being
processed
you're
presumed
eligible
for
the
dollars
in
that
loan
account
that
loan
provides
upwards
of
two
million
dollars
for
small
businesses,
payback
over
30
year
period
and
interest
rates
of
3.75
percent
and
for
nonprofits
in
that
category
2.75
percent.
We
want
to
make
sure
people
are
taking
advantage
of
that
economic
injury
disaster
loan
program.
B
We
have
information
on
our
kovat
19
dot,
ca.gov
website,
kovat,
19
ca.gov
website
that
will
link
you
to
the
sba,
link
you
to
the
services
and
supports
so
that
you
can
take
advantage
of
that
program.
The
other
even
more
significant
program
was
just
recently
passed
in
the
cares,
acts
again.
That's
the
2.2
trillion
dollar
Act.
This
provides
businesses
up
to
10
million
dollar
loans.
If
you
continue
to
pay
your
employees,
you
have
to
provide
75
percent
of
all
of
that
loan
benefit
to
your
employees
to
payroll.
B
This
can
be
done
through
your
bank
through
traditional
institutions,
not
just
through
the
SBA.
This
is
the
Paycheck
protection
program,
the
PPP
program
that
is
finally
getting
some
attention.
This
is
a
profoundly
significant
program
that
has
349
billion
dollars
of
federal
supports
attached
to
it.
This
program
starts
tomorrow
and
that's
why
it's
incredibly
important
people
start
filling
out
the
application
filling
out
the
form
to
make
sure
that
they
are
aware
of
their
eligibility,
and
this
is
one
of
those
things.
B
A
lot
of
people
are
going
to
be
rushing
to
get
the
benefit
of
this
program
again.
April
3rd
is
the
first
day
to
start
drawing
down
those
applications,
so
work
with
your
bank
work
with
your
lender
and
if
you
commit
to
keeping
your
employees
even
if
you
have
no
business,
even
if
your
business
is
closed,
but
you
pay
your
employees.
This
is
a
grant
program,
not
a
loan
program
where
you
are
reimbursed
for
the
costs
again.
The
cap
is
ten
million
dollars,
not
insignificant,
but
there
is
a
modest.
B
Well
modest
is
relative,
but
a
point
five
percent
fee
attached
to
it
interest
rates
fixed
at
point
five
percent,
above
and
beyond
that
you
have
the
capacity
to
substantially
get
all
of
that
loan
completely
paid
off
by
the
federal
government
as
a
grant.
On
the
other
side,
it's
all
may
sound
very
complicated
in
many
respects.
It
is.
B
We
just
want
to
make
it
easier
for
folks
and
again
go
to
our
website
that
covin,
not
nineteen
ca.gov
website
and
we've
got
a
link
right
there
and
we'll
link
all
the
information
to
folks,
so
they
could
take
advantage
of
these
programs.
The
reality,
though,
is
not
everyone
can
take
advantage
of
these
programs,
while
the
SBA
has
debt
forgiveness
programs,
and
they
have
other
programs
that
one
can
avail
themselves
to
not.
B
Everybody
has
the
capacity
to
get
an
SBA
loan
and,
as
a
consequence
of
that
we're
announcing
today,
the
state
of
California
is
putting
50
million
dollars
into
our
eye,
Bank
our
infrastructure
bank,
to
create
micro
lending
opportunities
for
people
that
otherwise
would
not
be
eligible
for
SBA
relief,
the
Paycheck
Protection
Act
and
these
other
disaster
emergency
injury
disaster
programs.
So
it's
an
additional
contribution
for
the
state
to
address
those
that
may
otherwise
fall
through
the
crack.
B
To
do
just
that
and
get
prepared,
because
tomorrow
again
on
that
paycheck
protection
program,
those
applications
will
start
being
processed,
and
so
let's
get
ahead
of
the
queue.
And,
let's
make
sure,
if
you
know
someone
is
a
small
business
person,
make
them
aware
of
this.
And
if
you
are
a
small
business
person,
let's
make
sure
you
get
this
paperwork
done
and
get
those
applications
in
as
quickly
as
possible.
Something
else
we
are
announcing
today,
I'm
very
proud
of
it.
B
I
met
with
a
small
group
of
people
in
Fresno
California
about
a
year
ago,
organization
called
bit
wise,
remarkable
economic
story
in
Fresno
and
in
the
Central
Valley
one.
That's
not
often
highlighted
in
the
news,
not
just
an
agricultural
community.
It's
a
vibrant
community
with
remarkable
human
capital,
young
people,
people
young
at
heart,
doing
incredible
things,
a
good
entrepreneurial
spirit
and
a
technical
expertise
that
is
very
present
in
the
Central
Valley
and
bit-wise
is
the
center
of
this.
B
Bit-Wise
is
partnered
with
LinkedIn
and
Salesforce
to
create
a
new
site
called
onward
CA
org
onward,
CA
org,
and
that's
about
getting
us
back
up
on
our
feet,
not
just
small
businesses.
Now
people
that
have
been
laid
off
that
need
a
job.
Bit-Wise
has
already
created
a
remarkable
website
to
match
open
jobs
to
individuals
and
their
particular
skill
set.
They
actually
prompt
37
questions
to
specify
where
you
are
geographically.
B
What
your
exact
skillset
is
what
your
wage
preference
may
look
at
look
like,
and
then
they
match
you
with
open
job
listings
throughout
the
state
of
California.
Already
70,000
open
jobs
are
now
listed
on
their
site,
we'll
probably
have
a
hundred
plus
thousand
just
in
the
next
number
of
days.
They
prioritized
for
areas
that
disproportionately
now
are
hiring
remarkably
at
this
moment.
Not
surprisingly,
though,
health
care
being
one
of
those
four
areas,
agriculture
is
looking
for.
B
Seventy
plus
thousand
open
jobs
today
in
the
state
of
California
go
to
the
bitwise
new
site,
this
onward
CA
org
site
and
fill
out
those
applications
and
see
if
we
can
match
you
with
the
job
just
down
the
road
and
make
sure
we
get
you
off,
unemployment,
insurance
or
if
you
haven't
gone
on,
make
sure
you
don't
have
to
go
on
so
that
we
can
get
you
into
the
workforce
at
this
time.
So
I
want
again
thank
our
partners
in
that
process
and
putting
together
this
aggregated
job
listing
website.
B
B
I
think
that's
unprecedented
and
it's
overwhelming
the
call
volume
at
our
department
we
refer
to
as
EDD.
Let's
see,
that's
our
state
department,
that's
responsible
for
processing
applications
for
unemployment
insurance.
They
had
a
21
day
turnaround
on
those
unemployment
checks
in
the
good
days.
We
are
struggling
to
keep
up
with
that.
We're
still
confident
we
can
do
that.
B
We
have
reorganized
our
staffing,
a
200
additional
folks
to
deal
with
the
serf
folks
that
are
now
ready
to
increase
that
capacity
beyond
even
the
surge
of
supports
to
make
sure
we
get
in
these
checks
out
to
you
as
quickly
as
possible.
Remind
folks
cheques
are
from
the
low
of
$40
to
as
high
as
four
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
a
week
for
unemployment
insurance
and
in
addition
to
that,
people
are
eligible
for
the
least
the
next
four
months
for
an
additional
six
hundred
dollars.
B
On
top
of
the
forty
to
four
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
a
week
because
of
the
federal
stimulus
and
so
those
that
may
not
have
availed
themselves
to
the
unemployment
insurance,
please
do
so
again.
Easy
a
site
is
the
Cova
19
de
dot-gov
site,
but
EDD
will
process
these
and
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
we
do
so
in
a
timely
manner,
because
we
recognize
people
are
feeling
deep
anxiety
about
just
paying
for
basic
necessities
and
food
and
rent
and
the
like
and
childcare
for
so
many
etc.
B
So
that's
it
in
broad
strokes,
where
we're
leaning
in
to
this
economic
moment
I
should
just
preview.
I've
got
an
economic
development
team
focusing
on
how
we
can
get
this
state
back
on
its
feet
sooner
than
later,
and
what
that
looks
like
from
an
economic
stimulus
perspective,
some
of
the
best
and
the
brightest
from
across
the
country.
Now
advising
the
state
of
California
our
Department
of
Finance,
our
go-biz,
which
is
our
economic
development
team
and
advising
us
which
sectors
that
we
should
focus
on
and
looking
at
our
regulatory
system
and
looking
at
ways.
B
We
can
stimulate
real
growth
in
real
time
when
we
turn
the
corner
on
this
virus,
and
so
I
want
folks
to
know
that
we're
taking
this
very
very
seriously.
But
we
have
to
deal
with
the
immediate
and
that's
helping
small
businesses
and
that's
certainly
helping
individuals
that
are
out
of
work
with
these
unemployment
insurance
claims.
I
want
to
just
also
make
a
few
additional
points
and,
of
course,
open
up
as
we
do
to
any
questions
that
we
may
have
to
make
at
this
point.
B
If
you
was
just
a
few
days
ago
that
I
announced
25,000
people
filled
out
applications,
phlebotomists
and
EMTs
paramedics,
nurses,
nurse
practitioners,
doctors,
etc
to
help
support
their
loved
ones,
their
community,
this
state
and
our
health
care
delivery
system.
By
saying
you
know
what
I
may
have
just
retired,
but
I'm
happy
to
go
back
to
work
as
part
of
this
health
Corps
site
we
put
up
today,
we
have
over
70,000
applications.
It's
just
extraordinary.
B
We're
gonna,
try
to
match
you
up
geographically
and
based
on
your
expertise
and
work
through
some
details
and
and
just
know
that
we
are
gonna
respond
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
in
terms
of
response.
Let
me
just
continue
to
make
this
point.
I
really
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
practicing
not
just
sitting
there
promoting
or
preaching
what
we
could
or
should
do
pointing
fingers.
It's
the
individual
acts
of
tens
of
millions
of
Californians
that
allow
me
to
say
the
following:
the
numbers
in
the
state
of
California
are
growing.
B
The
number
of
positives
certainly
are
growing
and,
tragically
yes,
the
number
of
deaths
203
have
grown,
but
the
ICU
numbers
and
the
hospitalization
numbers,
while
they're
growing,
are
not
growing
as
significantly
as
you're
seen
in
other
parts
of
the
country,
we're
not
out
of
the
woods
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination,
and
we
showed
folks
what
we
mean
by
that
when
we
showed
you
our
modeling
yesterday.
The
reality
is
that
we
are
buying
time
for
every
individual.
That's
in
the
ICU.
My
heart
goes
out
to
them.
It's
100
or
excuse
me.
B
816
individuals
are
currently
in
the
ICU
represented
a
5.4
percent
increase
from
yesterday.
1922
people
are
in
our
hospital
system
with
kovat
19
that
are
positively
identified.
Those
are
big
numbers,
but
well
within
our
modeling
and
well
within
our
capacity
to
serve
and
meet
this
moment.
But
again,
it's
the
physical
distancing
that
people
are
doing
it's
taking
this
moment
seriously.
That
is
allowing
me
to
make
that
statement
that
we
have
the
capacity
currently
to
meet
the
moment.
We
still
need
to
do
more
on
personal
protective
gear.
The
n95
masks
and
I
could
tell
you.
B
B
A
lot
of
attention
has
been
placed
on
that
and
much
of
what
you're
hearing
is
true
in
terms
of
it
being
the
wild
wild
west
out
there
in
terms
of
procuring
those
masks,
the
shields,
the
glove
sets
and
the
like,
but
currently
in
California,
at
least
as
of
this
morning,
we've
already
distributed
thirty
five
point:
nine
million
n95
masks
and
while
we've
gotten
1
million
89,000
from
the
national
stockpile
and
apparently
we're
going
to
get
another
hundred
in
76,000
masks.
We
were
just
told
about
that.
B
This
morning
we
recognize
we
have
to
do
more
as
a
state
and
so
for
the
caregivers
out
there
and
for
our
grocers
and
police
and
fire
people
in
the
frontlines
broadly
defined.
We
recognize
our
obligation
to
you
to
continue
to
find
this
personal
protective
gear
and
to
do
more
to
source,
not
just
n95
masks
but
surgical,
masks
and
the
gowns
and
the
coveralls
that
all
of
you
do
deserve.
So
our
hospital
system
was
slack
not
just
surge
everyday,
we're
bringing
on
more
beds
everyday.
B
We're
building
capacity
and
every
day,
I
continue
to
be
mesmerized
by
the
incredible
leadership
within
our
hospital
system,
our
assisted
living
facilities,
our
skilled
nursing
homes,
where
they
are
anticipating
the
need
to
do
more
and
better
providing
more
points
of
access
and
more
space
as
they
reconstitute
repurpose
existing
space.
In
order
to
prepare
for
our
peak
in
the
next
number
of
weeks
every
hour
every
day,
we
must
take
advantage
of
keeping
this
curve
and
a
modest
trajectory,
so
we
don't
experience
what
other
parts
of
our
country
for
that
matter.
B
Other
parts
of
the
globe
have,
and
every
day
none
of
us
will
regret
doing
our
part
to
do
more
to
bend
that
curve
final
point
I
want
to
make.
Is
we
continue
to
appreciate
and
completely
embrace
the
Civic
spirit
that
defines
this
moment
even
beyond?
Just
a
health
coresight
I
want
to
thank
all
the
countless
volunteers
through
our
kal
volunteers
program
that
have
gone
to
their
site
to
contribute
their
time
and
energy
at
our
food
banks.
B
B
That's
an
extraordinary
and
heroic
effort
and
we're
seeing
that
on
social
media
in
terms
of
the
partnership
with
next-door
we're
seeing
that
in
terms
of
the
work
that's
being
done
with
the
Heart
Association
Alzheimer's,
Association
and
others
AARP
that
are
helping
amplify
that
sense
of
community,
the
Common
Wealth,
all
throughout
the
state
of
California
and
I.
Just
I
can't
impress
upon
you,
let's
keep
doing
more
of
that.
Let's
stick
together
and
let's,
let's
be
defined
by
our
capacity
to
to
seize
this
moment.
B
C
C
There
was
a
test
worker
in
California,
and
mayor
of
La
is
taking
a
different
take
if
you're,
if
you're
at
the
building
sites
or
space
and
the
construction
industry,
says
they're
enforcing
and
adhering
to
some
very
strict
guidelines.
Are
you
comfortable
allowing
construction
to
continue
in
California,
rather
than
doing
what
they
did
in
New
York
in
Boston?
The
other
question
I
just
have
really
quickly
is
April.
10Th
is
coming
with
the
second
half
of
property
taxes.
Do.
Is
there
any
suggestion
that
people
can
defer
away
of
those
payments
so
anyway?
Those
are
the
two
questions.
B
So
the
conditions
in
New
York
are
very
different
than
the
conditions
in
the
state
of
California.
We've
been
working
very
closely
with
the
building
construction,
trades,
specifically
long
conversations
with
Robby
hunter,
their
leader
and
I,
want
to
just
acknowledge
and
applaud
them
for
their
strict
work,
force
efforts
and
making
sure
that
their
own
members
are
protected
and
makes
sure
their
members
are
protecting
their
community
and
those
that
they
serve.
B
We
put
out
guidelines
a
few
weeks
ago
that
we
think
are
appropriate
as
baseline
guidelines
as
it
relates
to
construction
in
the
state
of
California
I'm,
well
aware
of
what
the
Bay
Area
did
and
they
have
a
legal
right,
the
health
directors
locally
to
go
even
further.
But
the
answer
to
your
question
is
we're
not
in
New
York
and
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
to
bend
our
curve.
We're
not
naive
about
the
magnitude
of
our
challenge
ahead
of
us.
B
B
E
To
specifically
ask
you
about
the
issue
of
people
wearing
masks
in
public,
because
some
of
this
came
up
yesterday,
but
I
think
there's
still
a
little
bit
of
confusion
out
there.
Your
guidance,
pretty
much
leaves
it
up
to
people
doing
whatever
they
think
is
best.
It
seems
like
from
what
we've
seen
and
that's
not
exactly
what
we've
seen
in
riverside,
where
they're
being
much
more
specific
and
even
la
mayor,
Eric
Garcetti,
who
was
much
more
specific
last
night.
E
B
Were
very
clear
in
our
message:
no
ambiguity:
absolute
clarity,
first,
state
to
put
out
guidance
saying
that
the
masks
are
additive,
not
a
substitute
I'll
repeat
that
masks
are
not
a
substitute
for
physical
distancing.
That's
crystal
clear.
It's
incredibly
important
message
to
express
it's
a
very
consistent
message
with
mayor,
Garcetti
and
I
think
the
message
that
was
sent
in
Riverside
as
well,
so
there's
continuity
and
clarity.
In
terms
of
that
message,
here's
an
additional
point
I
want
to
make.
B
We
believe-
and
we
put
out
guidelines
that
if
individuals
want
to
have
face
coverings,
that
that
is
a
good
thing
and
a
preferable
thing
in
addition
to
the
physical
distancing
and
the
stay-at-home
order,
and
we
put
out
guidelines
of
what
that
looks
like
the
concern
that
we
have
about
mandating.
It
is
referenced
in
my
comments.
Just
a
moment
ago,
we
are
still
trying
to
protect
our
health
care
workers,
provide
them
the
appropriate
not
in
ninety
five
masks
and
surgical
masks
and
gowns
and
coveralls.
B
The
testing
capacity
in
the
state
is
also
impacted
by
asks
in
personal
protective
gear
and
as
a
consequence,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
prioritized
in
the
state
of
California.
But
we
have
been
very
clear
that
if
you
are
going
into
an
environment
where
physical
distancing
is
all
but
impossible,
for
example,
into
a
grocery
store
with
small
aisles
and
a
long
queue
that
we
do
believe,
it
would
be
additive
and
beneficial
to
have
a
face
covering.
F
Earlier
today's
be
reported
on
a
church
in
Rancho
Cordova,
that's
continuing,
apparently,
to
meet
and
we're
going
to
you
did
your
office
looking
into
that
church
or
any
other
churches
that
are,
you
know,
reported
to
be
staying
open
and
do
you
have
any
message
for
religious
leaders
who
are
arguing
that
the
services
that
they
provide
are
essential?
Well.
B
With
all
due
respect,
it's
essential
that
we
practice
physical,
distancing
everywhere
period,
full
stop
and
so
I
would
highly
encourage
anyone
that
is
not
practicing
physical
distancing
to
reconsider
it
in,
to
the
extent
they
refuse.
We
will
apply
social
pressure
and,
to
the
extent
possible,
we
will
advance
additional
enforcement
specific
to
your
question
about
this
specific
site.
I
am
not
aware
of
any
ongoing
enforcement.
As
you
know,
the
protocols
for
enforcement
are
bottom
up,
not
top
down,
and
so
we
would
look
to
local
leaders
to
enforce
those
policies.
H
Hi
I
think
so
much
I
was
wondering
generally
how
you
are
preparing
for
the
state
budget.
That's
not
coming
to
me
revised
and
specifically
whether
you
intend
to
continue
advancing
the
idea
of
providing
health
insurance
to
undocumented
Californians,
who
are
over
age
65,
as
you
had
proposed
in
January.
Well,.
B
We
have
a
workload
budget
which
suggests
everything's
on
the
table.
The
January
budget
is
no
longer
operable
in
terms
of
the
conversations
I'm
having
with
staff
and
conversations
I'm
having
with
legislative
leaders.
They
recognize
the
enormity
of
this
moment.
1.9
million
unemployment
insurance
claims
just
since
March
12th
the
world
has
radically
changed
since
the
January
budget
was
proposed.
So
everything
is
on
the
table.
That's
an
honest
and
sober
reflection
of
that
reality.
B
We
certainly
are
being
benefited
modestly
by
the
federal
stimulus
in
terms
of
the
state,
Block
Grants
cities
and
counties,
though,
will
continue
to
struggle
and
suffer
and
that's
Carla's
question.
And
now
it's
come
back
to
me
on
the
issue
of
property
tax
which
they
disproportionately
rely
on
and
is
the
one
source
of
funding
that
does
not
come
to
the
state
of
California
local
property
taxes,
SESAC
the
County
Association.
B
We
had
a
call
and
they
have
requested
that
we
not
impose
upon
them
any
mandate
or
dictate
from
on
high
unless
we
are
prepared
to
backfill
the
impacts
of
that
mandate
and
so
Carla.
That's
the
answer
to
that
question.
But
it's
part
and
parcel
of
a
totality
of
considerations,
including
the
announcements
I
made
today
on
deferral
for
one
year
of
up
to
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
sales
taxes,
that's
money
that
people
need
in
counties
and
cities
and
at
the
state
level.
The
magnitude
of
the
impact
of
all
of
this
is
just
coming
into
I.
B
I
Hi,
governor
I
want
to
talk
about
testing,
so
it's
my
understanding
that
California
has
a
testing
backlog
of
somewhere
around
59
or
60
thousand
tests
that
we
just
haven't
yet
process,
and
yesterday
Ellie's
County
Health
Director
was
saying
that
some
people
are
waiting
up
to
12
days
for
the
results.
So
what
are
some
of
the
specific
things
that
we're
doing
to
reduce
this
backlog
as
we
ramp
up
testing
you
know,
are
we
adding
capacity
to
analyze
tests?
How
are
we
making
sure
that
this
backlog
doesn't
just
grow
as
we
ramp
up
testing
and
further?
B
B
We
said
those
numbers
would
change
and
they
did
you're
correct.
It's
fifty-nine
thousand
five
hundred
test
results
are
still
pending.
This
is
a
national
problem.
Just
one
lab
in
the
United
States
has
over
a
hundred
plus
thousand
backlogged
tests.
Those
large
commercial
labs
are
overwhelmed
by
the
demand,
and
you
know
you
talk
about
LabCorp
and
quest.
This
is
what
they
do.
24/7.
Even
this
moment
is
overwhelming
for
them.
Here's
the
good
news
every
day
we're
increasing
the
number
of
tests
that
are
being
conducted,
but
we
do
recognize
the
time
to
delay
yesterday.
B
I
mentioned
it
up
to
12
days,
so
I've
heard
that
today,
before
we
had
heard
up
to
8
to
10
days,
the
backlogs
are
not
necessarily
getting
better
in
real-time,
but
we're
hopeful
as
these
protocols
and
procedures
and
the
new
serology
tests.
Those
are
the
blood
based
tests
that
look
for
proteins
related
to
your
immune
system
and
antibodies
begin
to
supplement
just
the
PCR
tests,
which
are
the
dominant
tests
that
have
current
backlog
that
we'll
be
able
to
substantially
fast
track
those
test
results.
Let
me
add
to
that
as
specific.
B
You
know,
because
I
think
we've
all
written
about
it.
Abbott
announced
their
testing
capacity,
five
to
15
minutes
to
get
back
results.
Those
are
point-of-care
tests,
but
I
want
to
caution.
People
the
state
of
California
received
only
100
cassettes,
15
different
lab
sets.
Do
the
math
I
mean
it's
it's
an
irrelevant,
or
rather
no
it's
relevant
to
the
individual.
It's
an
insignificant
total
amount
of
tests
that
we
can
produce
in
five
to
15
minutes
in
the
state
of
California,
so
before
people
rush
to
well.
What
about
this
I
read
about
our,
but
about
that?
B
It's
all
about
scale
and
the
scale
is
impacted
not
just
about
the
time
for
Diagnostics,
but
it's
also
impacted
by
the
ability
to
get
the
samples
that
swabs,
that's
the
media
and
still
it's
about
reagents
the
RNA
extraction.
That's
the
PCR
test
that
binds
the
RNA
virus
in
the
nasal
cavity
and
they
need
the
extraction
kit,
which
is
part
of
the
reagents.
Those
continue.
B
I
spoke
about
serology
blood
based
tests
and
the
PCR
tests
in
these
labs
in
academia.
We
have
a
remarkable
collection
of
individuals
now
advising
us
to
get
to
the
next
level,
which
we
think
potentially
could
be
best
in
class
from
even
an
international
perspective,
not
just
a
national
perspective
in
terms
of
improving
the
time
to
diagnostics
and
the
ability
to
get
more
samples
and
to
provide
the
appropriate
level
of
supplies,
including
pee
pee,.
J
B
Look
if
someone
travels
for
essential
reasons
into
the
state
of
California,
they
have
to
practice.
You
come
into
the
state
of
California,
you
have
to
practice
physical
distancing.
We
have
a
stay
at
home
order
if
you're
not
essential,
so
anybody
that
comes
into
the
state
is
subject
to
those
same
rules
in
same
regulations.
So
that's
where
we
are.
Currently,
we
haven't
thought
beyond
that.
K
B
Only
can
I
comment.
We
appreciate
their
leadership.
Their
advocacy
I
was
very
proud
to
work
with
the
legislature
this
year
on
safe
drinking
water
strategy
that
struggled
for
a
few
years
in
the
state
very
controversial.
We
were
very
proud
that
we
are
able
to
meet
that
moment
last
year
and
those
same
advocates
have
made
it
crystal
clear,
not
just
to
you
to
me.
They
want
to
protect
not
just
residents
from
having
their
water
shut
off,
but
also
small
businesses.
I
signed
an
executive
order
today
to
do
just
that.
L
B
Kids
are
not
going
to
go
back
to
their
classrooms.
They,
however,
are
going
to
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
at
home
and
will
continue
to
educate
our
kids
through
distance
learning.
I
I
can't
be
more
clear
about
this.
Superintendent
can't
be
more
clear
about
this.
The
the
modeling
we
provided
yesterday
I
think
provides
more
clarity
in
terms
of
where
we
expect
to
be
in
a
number
of
weeks.
B
Another
month,
I
think
the
worst
decision
we
could
make
as
I've
said
this
in
the
past
is
you
know,
is
cutting
our
parachute,
we're
way
above
the
ground
and
I.
Don't
think
there'd
be
anything
more
impactful
that
would
example
or
manifest
that
metaphor,
then
sending
six
plus
million
children
back
into
our
public
schools
as
vectors
to
come
back
home
with
their
grandpa
and
grandma
and
family
members,
and
potentially,
when
we're
so
close
to
turning
the
page
and
getting
into
the
summer
and
getting
in
a
different
phase
of
this
virus
to
see
it
flare
back
up.
B
So
the
superintendent's
been
clear.
Our
president
of
our
state
school
board
has
been
clear,
I've
been
as
clear
as
I,
possibly
can
and
I
hope
that
the
school
districts
start
to
approach
the
distance
learning
application
of
the
school
based
meal
application
and
really
get
to
work
on
making
sure
our
kids
are
working
at
home.
Despite
the
deep
anxiety
and
stress
that
places
on
our
parents,
particularly
our
mothers
and
those
teachers
that
I
met
with
yesterday
on
a
zoom
call
that.
A
B
M
Hi
governor
we've
heard
stories
about
nurses
having
to
cut
up
trash
bags
to
use
as
protective
equipment
and
taking
other
kind
of
extreme
measures
because
they
don't
have
equipment.
You've
mentioned
the
state
has
made
a
deal
to
obtain
more
than
a
hundred
million
and
ninety
five
masks
I'm
wondering.
Can
you
tell
us
anything
about
how
soon
nurses
and
health
care
workers
might
expect
to
receive
those
supplies
and
how
long
the
state
expects
they
might
last
so.
B
Every
day,
I'm
updating
you
today
updated
you
with
the
number
thirty
five
point:
nine
million
and
ninety
five
masks
we
have
distributed.
That
number
has
changed
substantially
from
even
a
week
ago
because
in
real-time
were
answering
that
question,
even
though
it's
not
posed
as
soon
as
we
get
a
shipment
in,
even
if
it's
ten
thousand
a
hundred
thousand
a
million,
we
do
our
best
to
get
it
out
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
use
the
n95
s
as
a
proxy.
B
Again,
we
can
go
through
that
list
of
shields
and
coveralls
and
gowns
and
gloves
sets
all
of
them
equally
important
for
many
I
recognize
the
deep
anxiety
for
people
all
across
the
state
that
are
doing
do
it
and
sells
strategies
and
makeshift
strategies
and
we're
doing
everything
in
our
power
Hercule
in
effort
to
do
more
and
do
better
for
them.
So
we
have
folks
all
around
the
world.
We've
got
shipments
coming
in
in
partnership
with
FEMA
Department
of
Defense
that
come
in
on
a
daily
basis.
B
I
talked
about
the
hundred
seventy-nine
176,000
masks
coming
in,
and
our
fourth
shipment
from
the
national
stockpile.
Just
the
n95
s,
I'm
working
almost
24/7.
It's
a
not
a
gross
exaggeration
as
a
conduit
to
these
logistics
and
I
will
just
say
as
an
example.
Not
all
of
it
goes
well
shouldn't.
Surprise,
you
give
you
an
example:
we
had
a
shipment
that
came
in
Texas
and
it
was
sent
back.
Why?
Because
all
the
masks
were
moldy.
B
That's
something
that's
going
to
happen
when
you're
shipping
things
from
around
the
world
and
you're
trying
to
get
folks
to
move
quickly.
Others
have
been
turned
back
at
the
border
in
Mexico,
so
we
work
through
this.
We
anticipate
this.
It's
a
huge
logistics
operation
and
in
addition
to
that,
we're
working
domestically
with
partners
within
the
state
of
California
to
begin
to
repurpose
their
facilities.
I
mentioned
the
partnerships,
including
the
private
sector,
not
just
Apple.
B
That
procured
masks
for
us,
not
just
the
work,
that's
being
done
on
ventilators
from
companies
like
SpaceX
or
the
work
being
done
by
Virgin
orbit,
but
7-eleven
that
provided
it
there.
Stockton
warehouse
masks
for
the
state.
So
as
soon
as
they
come
in,
we
get
them
out.
They
can't
come
in
soon
enough.
N
B
We're
working
to
try
to
look
the
Assessors
and
the
counties
make
that
determination.
This
is
not
the
state's
money.
Unlike
a
lot
of
other
taxes
that
are
collected,
we've
made
great
progress
on
the
residential
side,
we're
trying
to
make
even
more
progress
on
the
commercial
side
and
that's
a
preview
to
conversations
we're
having
with
some
of
our
nation's
largest
banks
as
well
similar
to
the
residential
mortgage
in
the
forbearance
deal
that
we
just
announced.
We
are
assessing
our
option
as
it
relates
to
property
tax
and
I.
B
Deeply
recognize
that
anxiety
as
someone
like
you
and
others.
Perhaps
that
pay
those
property
taxes
to
see
what
we
can
do,
we're
working
with
the
counties,
they're
very
anxious,
as
I
said
in
this
space
and
we're
seeing
if
there's
ways
to
soften
this.
So
this
is
a
conversation
in
real
time,
but
again
the
purpose
of
full
transparency.
They
were
very
clear:
the
Assessors
and
the
County
officers
about
their
hope
and
expectation,
but
I
am
carrying
that
weight
as
governor
of
the
state
of
California.
B
O
B
So
we'll
put
that
out,
I
told
you
we,
but
this
new
workforce
I
talked
at
length
about
the
PCR
versus
serology
and
our
new
efforts
there
will
be
announcing
so
you'll
have
exactly
what
you're
looking
for
an
update
of
all
of
the
tests
that
have
been
done,
where
they're
getting
done
who's
doing
them.
What
the
specimen
collection
challenges
are,
what
the
RNA
extraction
and
reagent
challenges
are.
We're
going
to
put
all
of
that
out.
You'll
be
very
I,
think
satisfied
with
those
details.
There
are
dozens
and
dozens
excuse
me.
B
P
Hi
governor,
thank
you
for
talking
about
the
unemployment
claims
pacifically.
What
EDG
is
doing
to
try
to
increase
capacity,
but
this
question
goes
to
more
along
the
lines
of
the
federal
cares
at
the
unemployment
expansion
they're
people
who
would
not
have
typically
been
covered
under
unemployment,
for
example,
wanting
an
extra
13
weeks
of
benefits
or
the
self-employed.
They
currently
have
no
option
on
applying.
At
this
point.
P
Edd
says
they
have
not
gotten
the
guidance
from
the
federal
government,
and
so
there
are
people
who
have
been
told,
you're
newly
covered,
but
have
no
option
of
applying,
and
for
that
example,
of
someone
like
a
hairdresser
depending
on
when
her
stay
at
home
orders
came
down,
hasn't
had
a
paycheck
in
nearly
a
month
and
based
on
processing
times
would
be.
You
know
at
least
another
month.
Is
there
anything
that
can
be
done
to
get
some
clarity
between
the
federal
and
state
EDD
offices?
Well,.
B
This
is
where
I'm
very
pleased
to
say
that
I
have
Julie
Hsu
on
the
line
and
Julie
is
our
labor
secretary
and
is
asking
and
answering
exactly
this
question
among
many
many
others
on
a
daily
basis,
an
hourly
basis,
and
let
me
ask
Julie
to
opine
and
give
you
some
more
specifics
about
those
circumstances
which
we
are
very
familiar
with.
Julie
Thank.
Q
Q
These
include
the
self-employed,
true
independent
contractors,
and
we
have
been
working
with
the
terms
of
labor
to
get
more
guidance.
In
the
meantime,
we
are
putting
up
some
information
about
it.
So
if
you
go
to
yeah,
you
can
go
to
the
labor
agency,
the
labor
ca.gov
koban
19
information
to
find
out
more
about
that.
B
Thanks
Julian
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
Julie's
incredible
leadership,
she's
been
hosting
webinars
in
this
space.
We've
worked
in
our
partnership.
I
want
to
just
thank
Univision
for
their
efforts
to
make
sure
that
we
are
truly
culturally
competent
in
terms
of
the
outreach
in
the
state
of
California.
In
this
space,
she
has
over
1200
advisers,
80
different
locations
throughout
the
state
of
California
that
are
trying
to
triage
and
answer
those
questions,
quite
literally
in
real
time.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
The
magnitude
of
this
is
again
without
precedent.
B
R
Thank
you
for
governor
very
much
and
please
thank
the
first
partner.
That's
one
understanding
spouse
you
have
there
I'll
tell
you
interested
to
know,
because,
based
on
the
president's
comments
and
comments
and
other
governor's
around
the
country,
April
seems
to
be
a
make-or-break
month,
I
in
many
respects
she
had
laid
a
bunch
of
stuff
out
yesterday
with
dr.
Ghali
and
in
the
charts
of
what
could
happen
if
we,
if
we're,
really
trying
to
flatten
that
curve.
So
could
you
tell
me
in
your
words,
what
do
you
think?
B
Iii
mentioned
this
in
the
past:
I'll
repeat
it,
the
number
I
wake
up
to
every
single
day
is
the
number
of
hospitalized
that
are
Kovan,
19
positive
and
the
number
of
people
in
the
ICU
again
those
numbers
1922,
kovat
positive
that
have
been
hospitalized
and
816
that
are
in
the
ICU.
We
look
at
our
capacity
within
the
system
to
surge,
and
we
look
at
our
capacity
to
meet
this
from
a
human
resource
perspective
and
with
the
appropriate
level
of
protective
gear.
B
That's
the
line
that
we
are
modeling
I
was
encouraged
this
morning,
it's
devastating
for
the
individuals,
but
in
terms
of
that
trendline
to
see
just
a
5.4
percent
increase
in
this
ICU
numbers.
Remember
a
week
or
so
ago
we
saw
almost
a
doubling
overnight
that
created
obviously
pause
and
some
concerns
so
day
to
day
it
matters,
but
we
like
to
see
trends,
and
so
the
trend
that
we
laid
out
yesterday
was
a
projected
trend.
B
If
we
continue
through
the
appropriate
physical
distancing
and
the
incredible
work
that
40
million
Californians
have
done
to
help
bend
this
curve
and
meet
this
moment
that
if
we
could
continue
with
that
curve
and
a
more
modest
slope
that
will
buy
us
more
time
to
prepare-
and
that
gives
us
a
few
weeks
to
prepare
for
an
upcoming
peak
that
could
come
into
the
middle
of
May.
That's
a
very
different
expectation
than
other
parts
of
the
country.
S
Thank
You
governor
a
question
on
the
issue
of
education,
we're
a
few
weeks
into
this
distance
learning,
experiment
and
I
know
you
like
to
talk
about
statistics
and
learn
about
things.
So
what
do
you
think
is
working
right
now
in
terms
of
distance
learning?
What's
not
working?
What's
your
advice
to
parents
on
that
issue
and
for
yourself
on
a
personal
level?
How
do
you
talk
about
that
issue
with
your
own
kids.
B
I'll
tell
you
I
it
is:
there
is
a
big
distance
between
a
parent
teaching,
their
child
and
a
teacher
teaching
their
child.
It's
not
that
our
kids
don't
respect
their
parents.
They
just
don't
seem
to
respect
them
when
it
comes
to
educating
them
as
much
as
they
do
their
teachers.
So
if
there
was
ever
any
doubt
about
how
extraordinarily
valuable
in
society
our
teachers
are
I
hope
we've
disabused
any
one
of
that
doubt.
This
is
an
incredible
burden.
That's
placed
on
households.
B
So
what
I'm
learning
is
this
is
not
just
a
rural
issue
and
an
urban
issue.
The
reality
is
all
across
the
state.
People
are
struggling
and
we
put
out
very
comprehensive
guidelines
I
again
mentioned
yesterday.
I
was
very
proud
that
they're
being
shared
across
the
country,
but
we
have
enormous
amount
of
work
to
do
and
that's
why
the
announcement
yesterday
was
so
important
to
remind
people
to
anchor
in
their
consciousness
that
schools
are
closed,
but
classes
are
in
and
we've
got
to
double
down
on
our
distance
learning.
B
Work
and
I
was
very
proud
that
Google
stepped
up
100,000
hotspots
that
they've
donated
to
the
state
of
California
three
months
of
free,
unlimited
data
and
downloads
that
they're
providing.
So
we
can
address
some
of
those
vulnerabilities
throughout
the
state
and
also
providing
thousands
of
Chromebooks.
I
said
this
in
my
remarks.
Yesterday
we
need
more
googles,
and
so,
if
you're
a
company
that
provides
hotspots,
if
you're
a
company
that
wants
to
contribute
more
in
terms
of
those
books
and
the
tablets,
please
this
is
the
moment
to
do
so.
And
it's
also
forgive
me.
T
B
So
the
Sleep
Train
we
just
signed
the
contract
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
has
been
working
to
spec
out
what
needs
to
get
done
there.
We
now
have
a
contractor
on
the
site
and
we're
working
with
California
based
labor.
These
things
trust
me
matter
and
been
part
of
a
logistics
effort
that
people
are
working
overtime
to
secure
the
total
number
of
beds.
B
Plus-Or-Minus
currently
is
393,
plus
or
minus,
but
that
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
range
in
the
next
10
to
14
days,
you're,
going
to
see
a
lot
of
progress
in
that
specific
site,
but
it's
part
of
the
total
surge
package.
That's
just
one
example:
we
have
also
SPECT
out
they've.
Looked
the
Army
Corps
of
over
24
sites
in
the
state
of
California
from
the
Oakland
cholera
Coliseum,
not
just
Sleep
Train
arena.
B
We
have
motel
and
hotel
rooms
that
are
available
not
just
for
homeless,
but
also
hospital
surge,
and
we
are
working
very
collaboratively
with
Mayor
Steinberg
in
terms
of
localizing
to
your
question
around
Sacramento
in
the
county,
their
surge
capacity
and
planning
needs
as
well.
So
thousands
of
units
are
up
and
running
all
those
FMS
sites
have
been
identified.
The
2,000
beds
that
come
from
the
federal
cash
we
have
half
of
them
already
that
have
been
set
up
and
as
it
relates
to
staffing
in
each
and
every
county,
staffing
works
differently.
B
Some
counties
will
absorb
all
the
staffing
needs.
Other
counties
do
partnerships
with
the
state,
5050
and
so
specific
to
sleep-train.
That
is
a
work
in
progress
and
I'll.
Let
you
know
when
we
work
out
those
protocols.
Let
me
just
end
by
making
one
additional
point.
You
know
we
never
say
this
enough,
and
that
is
thank
you
to
law
enforcement.
Thank
you
to
police
officers.
Sheriff's.
