From YouTube: Governor Newsom's COVID-19 Update - April 23, 2020
Description
Governor Gavin Newsom provides an update on the state's response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that most private student loan servicers have agreed to provide payment and other relief to borrowers, including more than 1.1 million Californians with privately held student loans. He also signed an executive order to stop debt collectors from garnishing COVID-19-related financial assistance.
The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provided much-needed relief for students with federal loans, including the suspension of monthly payments, interest, and involuntary collection activity until September 30, 2020. However, the CARES Act did not address millions of student loan borrowers with federal loans that are not owned by the U.S. government as well as loans made by private lenders. The initiative announced today gives direct help to those borrowers.
Under the new initiative by California and other states, students with commercially owned Federal Family Education Loan or privately held student loans who are struggling to make payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic may also be eligible for expanded relief. Relief options include providing a minimum of 90 days forbearance, waiving late payment fees, ensuring that no borrower is subject to negative credit reporting, and helping eligible borrowers enroll in other assistance programs.
Governor Newsom also signed an executive order that exempts garnishment for any individuals receiving federal, state or local government financial assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes recovery rebates under the CARES Act. Funds may still be garnished for child support, family support, spousal support or criminal restitution for victims.

B
Well,
good
afternoon,
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
today
about
debt
student
loan
debt
first
and
a
commitment
that
we
have
received
in
partnership
with
a
number
of
other
states
led
by
the
extraordinary
leadership
of
JB
Pritzker.
My
friend,
the
governor
of
Illinois
21,
out
of
the
24
largest
student
loan
servicers
in
the
state
of
California,
have
agreed
to
a
90-day
forbearance
on
student
loan
debt
impacting
over
1.1
million
Californians
with
loan
debt.
B
No
burden
now
placed
on
them
over
the
next
90
days,
no
impact
to
their
credit
rating,
no
late
fees
or
fines
and
actual
support
in
terms
of
getting
new
payment
plans
in
place
for
future
processing.
I
want
to
again
just
congratulate
JB
on
his
leadership
on
organizing
this
framework
of
profoundly
important
to
student
loan.
Borrowers
in
the
state
of
California
and
I
want
to
just
applaud
those
21
of
those
20
for
service
loan
providers
or
servicers
for
their
willingness
to
step
up
and
help
support
those
that
are
struggling
to
pay
their
student
loan
debts.
B
The
second
debt
related
announcement
I
wanted
to
make
was
in
relationship
to
the
cares.
Act.
Many
of
you
have
received
checks
from
the
cares.
Act
some
individuals
receiving
$1,200
checks,
those
with
children,
additional
$500
contributions,
but
a
lot
of
those
checks.
If
you
had
debt,
we
are
garnished
by
debt
collectors.
We
just
signed
I
just
signed
an
executive
order
quite
literally
moments
ago,
where
that
no
longer
will
be
the
case.
The
executive
order
denies
the
ability
for
debt
collectors
to
garnish
care
cares,
act
dollars,
it's
also
retroactive.
B
So
if
your
debt
collector
and
you
did
garnished
those
contributions,
those
checks
you
got
to
give
them
back,
and
so
that
is
effective
immediately
and
I
want
to
just
thank
my
legal
team
for
organizing
that
framework.
Over
the
last
few
days,
we
have
been
putting
together
that
executive
order
and
advancing
a
principle
that
I
think
is
appropriate
under
the
economic
circumstance,
and
that
is
the
nature
of
this
emergency
in
crisis
for
individuals
and
families.
Now
is
not
the
time
to
garnish
those
emergency
contribution
checks.
B
We
hope
this
provides
that
second
announcement.
Some
relief
as
well
I
also
want
to
express
my
debt
of
gratitude
to
a
group
of
doctors
that
moments
ago
noon.
Today,
just
took
off
from
state
of
California
flying
into
LaGuardia
tonight,
14
doctors
working
in
partnership
with
an
organization
of
physicians
of
physician
groups
from
the
CMA
Tuva
to
'ti,
a
group
that
organizes
physicians
there
joining
these
14
doctors,
two
doctors
from
UC
Davis
that
are
already
in
New
York
to
work
with
the
city
of
New
York
and
Hospital,
and
Health
System,
dr.
B
Mitch
Katz,
who
may
be
familiar
to
some
of
us
out
here
in
the
state
of
California,
used
to
run
the
health
care
system
down
in
Los
Angeles,
formerly
in
the
city
of
San
Francisco.
He
runs
it
for
the
largest
health
care
delivery
system
in
our
country
at
least
some
nationally,
and
that's
the
city
of
New
York.
We
are
working
in
partnership
with
him.
B
Mark
galley,
who
knows
Mitch
very
well,
helped
organize
this
partnership
in
this
collaboration,
so
16
doctors
leaving
today
or
at
least
joining
to
14,
leaving
today
that
will
arrive
tonight
to
help
support
for
a
two-week
period.
The
needs
of
our
fellow
Americans
in
New
York
City
I
just
want
to
express
again
deep,
deep
gratitude
and
debt
of
gratitude
to
their
willingness
to
really
meet
this
moment
in
a
profound
and
significant
way.
I
want
to
also
just
extend
a
gratitude.
It
hasn't
been
highlighted.
B
I
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
that
UCSF
had
already
sent
20
doctors
and
nurses
for
a
similar
purpose,
so
state
of
California
36
doctors
and
nurses
are
now
deployed
into
New
York
and
again
it's
the
spirit
of
our
times
the
spirit
of
this
moment
and
for
those
that
may
be
dispirited
by
it
saying
no
wait.
We
need
those
doctors
and
nurses.
B
Let
me
remind
you
of
the
announcement
made
yesterday
to
actually
pull
back
on
our
stay
at
home
orders
and
allows
scheduled
surgeries
two
months
ago,
once
again
go
into
effect
or
at
least
be
performed
in
our
healthcare
delivery
system.
In
our
hospital
system.
Because
of
the
work
we
have
done
to
decompress,
the
system
increase
the
total
supply
of
alternative
care
sites,
so
we
can
meet
our
needs
and
meet
a
potential
surge
into
the
future.
B
So
this
is
an
incredible
opportunity
for
all
of
us
in
California
and
just
the
generosity
of
these
individuals
to
another
state,
and
so
again
this
is
a
wonderful
thing
and
I'm
very
proud
and
pleased
to
make
this
announcement
today
on
behalf
of
those
doctors
on
behalf
of
those
systems
and
those
provider
groups
and
just
again
express
my
gratitude,
it's
two
weeks
and
then
two
weeks
of
quarantine.
So
it's
a
one-month
sacrifice
of
these
individuals.
That's
a
big
deal
and
again
we
thank
them.
B
I
also
want
to
just
thank
yesterday
announced
that
the
president
was
extending
support
for
new
swabs
to
get
more
specimens
increase
our
testing
capacity.
We
got
word
today
that
hundred
thousand
swabs
that
he
committed
this
week.
90,000
are
arriving
and
we'll
start
to
distribute
them
in
the
next
day,
or
so
that's
very
encouraging.
I
know
it's
not
the
hundred
thousand,
but
they
told
me
they'll
make
up
for
that
hundred
or
that
ten
thousand
next
week
when
the
250,000
arrives,
so
conversation
commitment,
promise
made
promise
kept
90,000
on
the
way
be
distributed
tomorrow.
B
I
also
want
to
just
extend
in
terms
of
numerical
considerations
and
numbers
depth
of
gratitude
for
all
of
you
that
signed
up
for
the
Californians
for
all
dot
ca.gov
website.
Remember
just
two
days
ago,
we
had
a
call
to
ask
for
people
to
volunteer
their
time
and
tension,
their
passion
and
their
sense
of
purpose
to
a
cause
bigger
than
themselves,
and
we
would
match
that
cause
geographically
to
an
area
of
interest
over
22,000
people,
just
in
the
first
day,
signed
up
and
went
on
that
site
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you.
A
B
You
know
do
a
little
phone
banking
help
out
the
food
banks,
maybe
go
to
a
blood
bank
and
donate
blood
or
provide
other
kinds
of
talents
and
supports,
and
again
it's
a
dynamic
site
and
one
of
the
first
offerings
and
one
of
the
most
impactful
things
the
first
cohort
of
volunteers
is
doing
is
making
neighbor
to
make
neighbor
phone
calls,
particularly
to
seniors
that
are
struggling
with
social
isolation.
Others
are
doing
food
deliveries,
but
even
those
phone
calls
go
a
long
way
and
make
a
big
big.
B
Difference
also
want
to
just
express
gratitude
to
the
folks
at
EDD
a
lot
of
attention
on
unemployment
insurance
in
this
state,
but
just
since
March
15th,
just
since
March
15th,
the
state
of
California
has
distributed
three
point:
nine
four
four
billion
dollars
close
to
five
or
excuse
me
close
to
four
billion
dollars
of
unemployment
insurance
has
been
distributed.
Three
point:
nine
four
billion
dollars.
B
Interestingly,
in
coincidentally,
two
three
point:
nine
million
individuals,
just
since
March,
fifteenth
and
I
say
that
to
make
this
point,
none
of
us
are
naive
about
the
responsibilities
we
have
as
a
state
and
as
Administration
to
make
sure
that
call
center
gets
cleaned
up
and
we
do
more
at
continuing
to
process
those
claims.
Almost
a
billion
dollars
of
claims
since
Sunday
have
been
distributed.
Just
give
you
a
totality
of
what's
out
in
the
millions
that
have
been
processed
just
in
a
number
of
weeks,
we
had
over
1300
people,
I
announced
that
were
redeployed.
Well.
B
It's
interesting
everybody's
coming
together,
not
just
again
to
increase
points
of
access,
but
the
quality
of
the
interaction
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
head
that
off.
Let
you
know
we
are
working
overtime
on
that.
We
have
a
wonderful
team
led
again
by
Julie
Hsu
and
we
start
every
morning
call
and
she
reminds
everybody
we're
on
it.
We're
doing
more.
We've
got
to
do
better.
We
understand
we
have
to
do
better,
but
I
just
do
I.
B
Do
want
to
just
extend
a
gratitude
for
the
coast
of
four
billion
dollars
that
they
have
processed
just
since
March
15,
for
what
it's
worth,
3.3
million
people
have
filed
claims
since
March
12th.
You
may
wonder
why
we've
distributed
3.9
million
checks
and
only
3.3
million
people
have
filed
claims.
Those
are
folks
were
in
the
queue
before
March
12,
but
March
12
marks
a
moment
where
we
started
to
see
a
big
spike
in
the
total
number
of
applications
and
the
total
number
of
requests.
B
Speaking
of
requests
every
day
were
requested
to
appropriately
update
you
on
the
total
number
of
lives,
lost
virus,
a
number
of
hospitalization
ICU
and
as
well
number
of
people
that
have
tested
positive.
Let
me
briefly
go
through.
Those
yesterday
was
the
deadliest
day
for
this
virus
in
the
state.
A
hundred
and
fifteen
human
beings
lost
their
lives,
families
torn
apart.
It
was
the
deadliest
day
in
the
state
of
California
I.
B
Don't
say
that
by
feliu
I,
don't
say
that
certainly
cheerfully
I,
don't
say
that,
except
in
any
one
of
those
individuals,
each
one
of
those
numbers
represents
family
represents
a
life
lost
and
a
journey
that
their
families
will
be
on
in
their
loved
ones.
That
is
very
different
than
the
one
that
predates
their
passing
of
that
loved
one.
But
it's
also
reminder
we're
not
out
of
the
woods
yet
I
know.
There's
deep
desire.
People
are
making
calls
on
an
hourly
basis,
saying
it's
time
to
open
back
up.
B
Consider
the
deadliest
day
in
the
state
of
California,
the
last
24
hours,
8.5%
increase
in
the
total
number
of
deaths
we
saw
5.6
percent
increase
in
the
total
number
of
people
tested.
Positive
in
the
state
of
California,
but
there
was
some
positive
news,
despite
those
numbers,
and
that
was
for
the
first
day
we
have
been
putting
together
our
number
of
hospitalizations,
a
number
of
I.c.u
patients.
B
We
saw
four
things
happen
at
the
same
time,
I
mentioned
just
few
days
ago.
We
saw
the
first
thing
happen
at
the
same
time,
that
was
the
number
of
hospitalizations
and
number
I
see
use
decline
together.
That
happened
again
today,
hospitalizations
down
port
point,
four
percent
and
1.2
percent
decline
in
ICUs,
but
what
happened
was
also
significant.
What
was
also
significant
number
of
what
we
call
PU
is
these:
are
persons
under
investigation
and
both
for
hospitalizations
and
for
our
ICUs.
We
saw
those
persons
under
investigations
drop
as
well.
B
B
B
Well,
you
know
what
I
should
check
in
with
Bobby
and
just
say:
hey
I
know
you
are
likely
to
want
to
get
to
beach,
but
just
be
careful
if
you
do,
if
make
sure
it's
open,
and
if
it's
not
open,
you
know
abide
by
the
rules
if
it
is
open,
just
abide
by
social
distancing
practice,
physical
distancing,
let's
not
dream
of
regretting
and
I
just
want
to
again
encourage
people
to
be
safe,
stay
at
home
to
extent
possible
and
practice.
Physical
distance
e
will
continue
to
practice
what
we
preach,
and
that
is
constant
and
never-ending.
B
Updates
to
you
on
our
thinking
about
how
these
six
indicators
that
we
highlighted
yesterday,
one
deeply
highlighted
on
testing
what
those
indicators
are
telling
us
and
how
they're
guiding
us
in
terms
of
next
steps
and
next
announcements.
Yesterday
we
made
that
first
announcement
again
to
begin
to
pull
back
on
our
stay
at
home
order.
That's
a
positive
sign,
but
it
was
the
indicator
that
gave
us
that
green
light
gave
us
that
sign.
We
need
to
see
other
green
lights
and
those
other
indicators
provide
us
similar
guidance
in
terms
of
making
decisions.
B
It
won't
be
a
letter.
I
receive
a
tweet.
It
won't
be
the
expression
of
frustration
that
I
and
all
of
you
share
in
terms
of
the
stay
at
home
order.
It
will
be
those
indicators
that
die
that
drive
our
decision-making,
not
dates.
We
don't
debate
dates.
We
look
at
the
facts
objectively,
we're
not
ideologues
I'm,
not
an
ideologue,
I'm,
open
argument
interested
in
evidence
and
I'm
well
aware
of
the
arguments
of
regionalism
in
this
state.
B
That's
every
few
days
we're
gonna
make
announcements
as
we
toggle
again
move
that
dimmer
up
and
down
not
this
light
switch
because
there's
no
such
thing
as
reopening
and
back
to
normal,
it's
normal
with
caveats,
its
reopening
with
conditions
this
virus.
We
are
not
immune
from
this
virus.
There
is
no
vaccine
for
this
virus.
There
are
no
therapeutics
that
have
yet
been
identified
that
we
can
distribute
manufacture
at
scale
to
mitigate
the
impacts
of
this
disease.
The
disease
killed
more
people
in
the
state
of
California
in
the
last
24
hours
than
any
previous
24
hours.
B
We
still
have
more
positives
in
this
state
every
day.
So
disease
continues
to
spread
and
we
need
to
continue
to
spread
the
word
of
vigilance
and
maintain
our
values
to
one
another
and
the
value
again
that
we
hold
dear,
is
this
notion
that
we're
all
in
this
together?
It's
not
individuals.
It's
individual
acts
on
behalf
of
collective
community
that
will
save
lives
and
get
the
economy
back
much
sooner
than
we
otherwise
would.
B
Former
Fed
chair,
Janet
Yellen,
providing
guidance
on
economic
recovery
and
growth,
Tim
Cook
of
Apple
talking
about
best
practices
of
how
they
reopened
overseas,
particularly
in
China,
and
what
those
conditions
look
like.
What
the
triggers
look
like.
All
of
that,
helping
inform
us
and
I
I
socialize
that
with
you
to
just
know
that
this
area
is
part
of
deep
focus
and
a
deep
passion,
and
you
know
I,
don't
I!
I,
don't
want
to
talk
too
much
about
my
own
background,
but
I
remind
many
of
you
of
my
entrepreneurial
background.
B
I
didn't
start
in
politics
in
politics,
I
started
as
a
guy
who
put
pen
to
paper,
got
17
investors
$7,500
each
part
time:
employee,
Pat,
Kelly,
small
little
business
right
out
of
college
and
was
able
to
grow
that
business.
A
dozen
plus
businesses
throughout
the
state
of
California.
That
I
was
pleased
and
proud
in
my
past
have
been
part
of,
and
so
I'm
I
say
this
is
an
expression
of
passion
in
a
sense
of
purposefulness.
B
My
passion
for
entrepreneurialism,
my
passion
for
economic
growth
and
energy
that
we
all
want
to
see
restored
in
the
state
of
California.
I
share
that
and
I
share
the
deep
anxiety.
So
many
of
you
are
feeling
in
that
space
final
words,
because
those
businesses
are
also
being
impacted
in
ways
that
I
think
deserve
even
more
attention
and
need
to
be
highlighted.
B
I
could
not
be
more
pleased
with
the
announcement
because
of
the
incredible
leadership
of
our
leader,
Speaker
Nancy
Pelosi,
in
partnership
with
those
in
the
Senate
and
others
to
get
this
new
stimulus
or
will
see
more
PPP
money.
This
is
that
loan
program
and
forgiveness
program
for
small
businesses,
California
got
nine
point:
seven,
six
percent
of
those
federal
dollars
below
where
we
should
have
in
the
last
round.
We
hope
to
do
much
better
in
this
next
round.
We
have
two
SBA
loan
programs.
B
As
you
may
recall,
we
were
the
first
to
apply
for
one
of
them
as
a
state.
First
to
get
the
waiver
in
first
to
grant
one
of
those
SBA
loans,
an
economic
injury
account.
We
actually
have
outperformed
in
that
account
and
in
another
SBA
account,
which
is
the
disaster
assistance
accounts.
We
receive
fourteen
point
seven
and
twenty
six
point
eight
percent
of
those
federal
dollars
so
we're
doing
well
in
the
SBA
loans
we
didn't
do
as
well
in
the
PPP
loans.
B
I
say
that
to
make
this
point,
we
have
the
opportunity,
because
this
next
stimulus
to
draw
down
even
more
money
into
the
state
of
California
those
loans,
our
lives
as
well
dreams
as
well.
People
put
up
everything
on
the
line
as
entrepreneurs
and
they're
just
trying
to
hold
on
and
work
through
this.
So
they
have
a
place
for
us
to
go.
B
Final
words
before
I,
open
up
to
questions
that
we
also
created
an
additional
loan
program
for
micro
loans
for
businesses
that
fall
through
the
cracks
of
these
SBA
loans
and
this
federal
PPP
program.
We
have
distributed
loans
already
in
that
account.
Seventy-Three
percent
of
them
have
been
to
women
and
I
own
businesses.
B
So
much
more
work
to
do
in
that
space
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
our
partnerships
with
Senate
with
the
assembly
Bob
Hertzberg
senator
hertzberg,
leading
economic
task
force
in
the
Senate
coming
up
already.
Some
wonderful
ideas,
I
really
look
forward
to
the
partnership
as
we
develop
a
roadmap
to
recovery
in
concert
in
council,
in
partnership
with
our
assembly
and
Senate
leaders
as
well.
That
I
know
deeply
care
about
small
businesses,
micro
loans
and
Economic
Opportunity
being
extended
across
the
panoply
of
sectors
in
the
state
of
California.
C
B
I
think
a
lot
has
been
written
about
a
lot
of
the
counties
and
most
have
made
public
their
their
desires
and
requests.
Boards
of
Supervisors
have
sent
letters,
mayors
of
sell
letters,
legislative
leaders
have
sent
public
letters,
I
haven't
even
received
them,
but
I
read
about
them
and
I
say
that
lovingly
because
I've
recognized
the
spirit
of
the
moment
and
and
in
there
are
many
I,
don't
know
the
exact
number
but
you've
all
I
think
written
very
comprehensively
about
this,
and
not
surprisingly,
there
are
many
others
out
there
in
real
time.
B
That
may
have
just
come
in
the
last
few
minutes.
There's
a
deep
desire
to
know
when
and
as
I
said,
it's
not
a
date,
it's
an
indicator
and
it
goes
through
the
prism
of
these
six
specific
indicators
and
that's
the
response
we
have
when
we
have
those
conversations
with
county
leaders
and
business
leaders
went
with
Rotary
Club
leaders
with
mayor's
City
Council
members,
and
we
said,
look
if
we
can
work
together
and
we
can
work
to
advance
our
collective
cause
of
safely
reopening
by
making
sure
all
of
us
are
checking
off
the
same
list.
B
Then
we're
going
to
be
able
to
advance
some
loosening
of
our
stay-at-home
orders
sooner
as
opposed
to
chasing
folks
down
that
get
ahead
of
themselves,
only
to
find
that
perhaps
they
went
too
soon
too
fast.
I,
don't
even
need
to
remind
you
just
interesting
national
conversation,
we're
having
about
other
states
and
even
the
president
commenting
about
one
particular
state
where
he
felt
there
needed
to
be
some
reconsideration
of
those
recommendations.
B
It's
just
an
expression
of
the
obvious
that
all
of
us
are
trying
to
work
this
out
in
real
time,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
for
us,
it's
not
top
down
it's
a
bottom-up
process.
Recognizing
each
region
is
unique
and
distinctive,
and
we
really
want
to
think
about
this
regionally
as
a
framework
regions
rising
back
up
together,
but
we've
got
to
stay
together
at
extent
possible,
but
I
recognize
480,
plus
cities,
58
counties,
that's
a
challenge
and
we're
gonna
try
to
manage
that
challenge
as
effectively
and
efficiently
as
we
can.
C
D
You
testing
the
question
is
about
maximizing
the
existing
capacity.
For
example,
barely
in
Sacramento
has
a
max
of
testing
350
plus
people,
but
they've
been
averaging
about
215
appointments
a
day
at
155
people
test.
This
is
that
they've
never
gotten
to
their
scheduling
or
their
testing
capacity
and
though,
and
they'll
also
have
put
out
a
push
to
get
more
people
tested.
However,
as
people
are
doing
a
screener
for
an
appointment,
even
if
you
say
you
have
symptoms
and
pre-existing
conditions,
people
are
still
being
told
they
don't
qualify.
D
Also,
there
are
some
essential
workers,
its
prioritize
to
healthcare,
first
responders
and
corrections,
nothing
about
grocery
workers
or
like
postal
workers
or
journalists,
the
other
people
who
are
out
and
about
so
when
asked
about
the
criteria
for
testing
that
County
basically
says
it's
up
to
the
state.
So,
given
that
there
testing
less
than
half
their
capacity,
should
those
screening
standards
be
relaxed
and
what
oversight
is
there
to
ensure
that
all
of
the
testing
site
and
future
abilities
fully
maximize
as.
B
You
know
we
put
together
a
testing
task
force
over
a
week
ago,
they're
very
organized
deliberatively
work
through
that
testing
protocol
on
a
daily
basis
and
make
adjustments
I'll
just
give
you
an
example,
those
90,000
swabs
for
specimen
collections
that
works
through
the
process
of
this
task
force.
In
terms
of
how
they'll
organize
that
distribution.
B
Yesterday,
we
made
the
announcements
of
the
expansion
of
six
additional
sites
with
verily
in
partnership
with
verily,
and
we
also
made
an
announcement
two
days
ago
about
the
lifting
of
the
criteria
and
her
in
terms
of
who
were
prioritizing
for
testing
to
a
symptomatic,
not
just
symptomatic
individuals.
We
do
throw
through
a
multiple
lens,
where
the
first
state
in
the
country
to
do
that
to
make
that
announcement
and
to
begin
to
advance
a
loosening
of
those
guidelines
very
directly
along
the
lines
of
your
question.
B
So
the
answer
is
yes,
we
are
adjusting
those
guidelines
and
have
done
so
and
making
sure
we
socialize
them
throughout
our
entire
testing
system.
But
the
idea
is
a
simple
one.
We
have
individuals
that
work
as
lVN's
at
sniffs.
Young
individual
may
not
have
any
symptoms,
but
may
actually
have
the
disease
and
is
spreading
the
disease.
We
think
those
vulnerable
individuals
individually
themselves,
but
also
to
their
friends,
family
and
professionally.
They
should
be
part
of
our
testing
strategy,
so
it's
focused
on
that
subset.
B
We've
taken
that
lid
off
in
terms
of
the
testing
priorities
and
expanding
them,
and
that's
our
certainly
helped
I
also
want
to
extend
the
expansion,
not
just
the
verily
verily
as
one
of
our
many
many
providers,
but
we
made
a
significant
announcement.
Yesterday,
optimum
serve
eighty
additional
sites.
These
are
end
to
end
testing
sites,
they'll
be
distributed
all
throughout
the
state
of
California
rural
parts
of
the
state.
That's
happening
in
real
time.
B
Those
eighty
sites
are
going
out
today,
tomorrow,
Saturday
Sunday,
Monday
you're,
going
to
see
these
things
set
up
and
so
you're
gonna
see
a
real
loosening
of
the
criteria
and
the
restrictions
significant
increase
in
the
total
number
of
tests
are
over
four
hundred.
Eighty
two
thousand
tests
now
conducted
we're
getting
closer
and
closer
to
that
twenty
five
thousand
goal
of
tests
every
single
day.
We
got
to
do
much
better
than
that
within
the
next
thirty
days
and
60
days.
Better
still,
we've
got
that
abbot
announcement
we
made.
Yesterday
we
did
a
follow
up
with
Abbot.
B
There
was
a
question
yesterday
around
the
serology
tests,
I
made
an
announcement
and
I
appreciate
it.
One
of
the
reporters
wisely
said:
did
you
say
1.1
million
serology
tests
that
you
have
procured
from
Abbott
and
she
was
correct-
was
1.1
million
today,
just
in
the
natural
give-and-take,
as
we
work
with
Abbott,
not
just
on
serology,
but
the
PCR
tests
of
which
were
procuring
more
tests
there.
They
are
ready
to
start
distributing
those.
It's
not
months
away,
turns
out
they're
ready
to
send
those
tests
to
the
states.
B
So
it's
both
PCR
tests,
the
ones
you're
referring
to
with
verily,
and
then
these
serology
tests,
which
you're
going
to
see
significant
expansion.
I'll
just
remind
you
briefly-
and
this
is
an
extension
beyond.
Perhaps
your
interest
and
your
query
directly
but,
as
you
know,
it's
been
well
written
about.
There
have
been
two
cero
surveillance
tests
that
have
been
done
at
scale
in
the
state
of
California,
the
stanford
test
for
over
3,300
individuals
earlier
this
month
and
the
one
in
partnership
with
USC
in
LA
County
that
was
done.
B
La
County's
continues,
they're
going
to
continue
to
do
more
of
their
surveillance
and
the
one
in
Stanford
generated
a
lot
of
attention
for
many
different
reasons,
but
again,
that's
also
part
of
the
broader
testing
ecosystem,
not
just
diagnostic
tests,
but
also
antibody
tests
and
also
the
community
surveillance.
That
also
is
part
and
parcel
of
everything.
That's
happened
in
this
space,
but
the
good
news
is
2,000
tests
a
day,
March
now
averaging
over
16,000
a
day
on
our
way
to
25,000
by
the
end
of
the
month
and
then
multiples
of
that
very
soon.
Thereafter,.
E
E
B
Right
well,
I've
got
a
whole
team
of
people
and
they
give
me
an
update
on
the
queries,
so
we're
answering
dozens
and
dozens
of
questions
every
day,
some
cases
every
hour
to
the
extent
yours
heaven
will
try
to
fix
that.
I
appreciate
your
recognition
that
every
single
day
and
I
make
myself
available
to
you
to
the
extent
possible
for
these
noon.
Press
conferences,
and
in
addition
to
that,
as
you
know,
we
try
to
make
ourselves
available.
B
Radio
shows
TV
I
mean
everything
we
can
possibly
do
that
doesn't
get
in
the
way
of
actually
doing
our
job
so
I'll
check
in
make
sure
we
are
answering
whatever
questions
you
may
have
remaining,
but
specifically
to
your
question
and
thank
you
for
it
as
relates
to
this
may
model,
I'm,
not
sure
specifically,
which
may
model
you're.
Referring
to
we
put
out
our
modeling
update
last
Friday,
we'll
be
doing
that
again
very
shortly,
but
I
have
dr.
B
F
Yes
good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
the
question.
We
have
in
weeks
past,
put
out
a
conversation
showing
how
our
modeling
runs
through
about
May
20th.
We
also
talked
about
how,
in
recent
weeks
as
we've
looked
at
our
actuals,
so
I
remind
you.
There
are
many
models
we
have
created
and
used
one
in
California
to
help
guide
our
planning
and
thinking,
but
we
always
come
back
to
what
we're
actually
seeing
on
the
ground.
F
So,
as
we've
looked
at
those
models
and
looked
at
our
actuals,
we
see
that
our
actuals
are
actually
climbing
at
the
lower
end
of
the
range
of
what
our
model
showed,
and
so
we
continue
to
be
in
that
range
and
we
are
seeing
what
is
a
very
slow
rise
even
to
the
point
of
calling
it
a
plateau
in
our
cases.
Well,
actually
in
our
hospitalizations
in
ICUs
and
as
our
testing
numbers
rise,
we
hope
to
see
the
same
in
our
cases.
F
So
as
we
trend
that
out,
those
are
exactly
the
data
that
fit
into
our
indicators
that
allow
us
to
make
announcements
like
were
made
yesterday
around
reintroducing
health
services
that
have
been
delayed
over
this
period
of
stay
at
home
order.
So
we
continue
to
look
at
those
models,
but
we
are
guided
both
by
what
those
trends
are
into
the
future,
but
largely
through
the
actuals
that
were
seen
today.
G
Majora
Mitch
McConnell
has
sparked
a
firestorm
by
suggesting
that
hard-hit
states
should
get
in
federal
aid
in
future
legislation
that
they
instead
consider
bankruptcy.
We've
heard
from
both
the
governors
of
New
York
and
New
Jersey.
Today,
they've
pushed
back
hard
on
this
Governor
Cuomo,
saying
that
New
York
could
send
billions
more
Kentucky
takes
out
billions
more
from
the
federal
pot
California's,
also
a
donor
state.
But
you,
though,
you
have
been
I.
G
B
Been
silent
but
I
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
talk
directly
I
expressed
similar
sentiments.
Other
governors
have
Democrats
and
Republican
governors.
As
you
know,
Carla
we've
long
made
the
point
that
California
has
been
a
donor
state.
Interesting,
that's
no
longer
true
after
the
salt
tax
reform,
California
actually
is
slightly
below
that
normal
position,
where
we
were
contributing
a
little
bit
more
salt
actually
set
us
back
just
slightly,
but
it
is
broadly
true
that
these
larger
blue
states
disproportionately
are
subsidizing
some
of
the
smaller,
even
the
larger
red
states.
B
It's
not
case
in
every
single
circumstance,
but
neither
here
nor
there
look.
My
reaction
is
this
on
behalf
of
tens
of
thousands
of
men
and
women
in
uniform
our
police
officers,
our
firefighters,
our
sheriff's,
the
folks,
quite
literally,
saving
lives
people
putting
their
lives
on
every
single
day,
the
heroes
that
we
highlight,
often
and
appropriately
so
the
nurses,
so
many
of
our
frontline
folks
that
are
taking
care
of
our
children,
our
teachers,
the
heroes
that
have
been
recognized
in
this
crisis,
in
particular
on
behalf
of
all
of
them,
hundreds
of
thousands,
if
not
millions.
B
H
Governor
I
have
a
question
about
the
future
of
Education
I
know
you're,
one
of
the
many
parents
that
hope
to
have
your
kids
back
in
a
regular
school
in
the
fall,
but
even
during
the
good
times.
So
many
of
California's
schools
were
overcrowded,
so
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
paint
a
picture
for
us
of
what
education
in
the
era
of
social
distancing
actually
looks
like,
and
how
do
you
pay
for
that?
Well,.
B
We
were
hoping
to
be
able
to
advance
with
this
school,
but
this
year
that
fell
a
little
short
that
would
have
helped
not
only
retrofit
existing
buildings
provide
more
high
quality
educational
experience.
Interesting
big
part
of
that
was
ventilation
systems
that
would
have
helped
with
the
flow
of
air
and
provided
us
more
capacity
and
more
resources
for
more
broadband
and
the
like,
but
unfortunately,
owners
didn't
want
to
support
that
at
this
time,
around
economic
uncertainty
etc.
So
we'll
have
to
work
through
that
and
around
that.
B
But
the
good
news
is
one
of
the
great
dynamics
in
situations
like
this.
Is
it
forces
an
innovative
mindset
in
an
innovative
spirit,
and
we
really
start
thinking
about
tomorrow
very
differently,
with
more
clarity,
more
conviction,
I
was
having
a
specific
conversation
after
our
economic
recovery
task
force,
meeting
about
broadband
for
all,
not
with
platitudes,
but
to
actually
deliver
on
what
we
have
been
promising
and
promoting.
It
seems
for
decades
in
this
country,
and
what
specifically
it
will
take.
It's
been
highlighted
in
your
question
around
distance
learning
and
those
disparities.
B
They're
being
told,
but
a
framework.
That's
dynamic,
around
creative
thinking
around
the
expression
of
creativity
and
self
in
a
broader
consciousness
of
what
education
is
really
about.
It's
not
just
about
teaching
to
the
test
and
I
I
know
that
our
teachers
recognize
that
and
they
want
to
unleash
that
in
our
education
system.
B
As
well
and
I
think
we're
now
at
a
stage
where
those
conversations
that
have
been
siloed
are
now
being
made
public
in
a
way
that
I
think
will
allow
us
to
process
very
exciting
and
lively
future
of
Education
that
will
leap
forward
in
years.
What
otherwise
would
have
taken
decades
and
had
not
been
for
this
crisis.
I
Governor
we've
taught
the
students
to
stay.
They
have
gone
weeks
without
learning,
since
the
shutdown
some
districts
weren't
prepared
for
distance
learning,
while
others
had
a
tough
time
keeping
kids
engaged
is
the
state
doing
anything
to
provide
more
oversight
either
now
or
in
the
future.
If
we
get
hit
by
second
wave
in
the
fall
yeah.
B
Look,
we
have
to
do
better,
I,
I'm,
I,
I,
think
we've
had
for
three
or
four
conversations
like
this
and
our
press
conferences
with
the
superintendent
public
education
with
the
president
school
board
just
a
few
days
ago
that
one
that
included
my
wife
to
directly
answer
the
question
you
just
asked
today.
We
didn't
wait
for
the
question.
B
The
guidance,
however,
is
not
equally
distributed
in
terms
of
capacity
to
deliver
on
it
in
districts
smaller
rural
across
the
state-
and
we
know
that,
and
so
the
superintendent
Public
Education,
the
president
school
board
and
others
working
a
partnership
of
Labor
and
management
I've
been
doing
everything
they
can
to
do
more
and
do
better
because
we
recognize
those
gaps
persist
and
we
recognize
how
damaging
each
and
every
day
that
that
gap
advances
how
meaningful
that
gap
is
in
terms
of
the
cumulative
impact
on
a
young
child's
trajectory
young
child's
life.
That's
why?
B
Specifically,
just
reverence
before
your
question
summer
and
already
starting
to
figure
out
what
we
can
do.
You
always
have
this
Summer
Slide
generally
in
terms
of
Education
and
obviously
that's
a
tsunami
this
year
of
a
slide
backwards.
If
people
aren't
even
getting
the
basic
curriculum
and
the
basic
kind
of
support
they
deserve
at
the
moment,
so
look
the
108
plus
thousand
high
Wi-Fi
hotspots,
that's
part
of
it
and
all
these
new
books
and
other
things
we're
doing.
That's
part
of
it.
Making
sure
these
guidelines
are
our
dynamic,
we're
doing
webinars
almost
every
week.
B
There's
a
webinar.
We
really
don't
even
the
special
educator.
All
of
that
is
fine,
but
we
need
to
do
more
and
I
recognize.
In
the
spirit
of
your
question,
you
talked
about
the
fall
sort
of
marking
a
real
sense
of
urgency
to
make
sure
we
build
that
architecture
through
this
summer,
and
we
don't
wait
at
peril,
will
be
getting
questions
like
this
again
in
four
or
five
months
and
our
kids
don't
deserve
to
have
these
questions
asked
without
having
the
ability
to
have
them
answered.
B
So
appreciate
that
your
query
and
just
know
it's
a
point
of
deep
passion
for
ours
and
if
you
hadn't
taken
a
look
at
what
my
wife
and
superintendent
talked
about
a
few
days
ago,
go
back
it's
on
our
website
and
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we
are
doing
more
substantively
and
specifically
to
address
that
question.
So
look
I
want
to
just
once
again
address
this
question.
That's
the
elephant
in
the
room!
It's
a
question!
B
Well,
you
know
I've
had
enough
of
this
cabin
fever,
I'm
moving
on
it's
a
beautiful
weekend.
You
know
so
be
it
if
I
get
sick.
I
just
remind
you,
your
individual
actions,
impact
others,
and
not
only
do
I
want
to
keep
you
healthy
and
safe
I
want
to
keep
others.
You
come
into
contact
say
particularly
our
seniors,
particularly
someone.
B
You
may
come
in
contact
with
the
grocery
store
that
may
look
young
and
healthy,
but
may
have
just
gone
through
a
significant
chemotherapy
or
some
other
issue
that
you
may
not
see
visibly
with
their
immune
system,
where
your
decision
can
impact
their
lives.
Just
consider
those
interactions.
Consider
those
examples
again.
This
is
not
a
Republican
virus
or
democratic
virus,
not
a
rural
virus
or
an
urban
virus.
Folks
in
Kern,
County
folks,
in
San,
Bernardino
folks
in
Tulare,
with
what's
happening,
are
skilled
nursing
facilities.
B
This
this
knows
no
geography,
it's
impacting
every
part
of
the
state
of
California,
not
just
large
coastal
cities,
not
just
New
York,
not
just
California,
and
so
I
continue
to
just
offer.
This
please
stay
at
home.
Stay
healthy,
stay,
safe
and
stay
connected
to
others
that
are
in
need,
and
that
needs
your
emotional
support
and
to
the
extent
as
always,
you
can
contribute
your
time.

Everybody.
