A
Welcome
everyone:
this
is
mayor,
hagerty
and
you're
joining
the
evanston
coronavirus
q,
a
we
have
been
doing
these
since
april
of
2020
as
the
pandemic
really
sunk
in
here
in
the
chicago
and
the
evanston
area,
and
we
continue
to
do
them.
I
am
pleased
today
that
we
have
three
preeminent
doctors
with
us
who
are
all
working
on
the
pandemic.
A
Who
are
our
guests
as
well
as
our
public
health
director
ike
ogbo?
Who
has
continued
to
do
a
good
job
leading
us
through
the
through
the
pandemic,
so
I'll
have
each
of
the
doctors
introduce
themselves
shortly
to
you
first.
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
in
evanston
for
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
by
wearing
face
masks
socially
distancing,
exercising
good
hygiene,
avoiding
large
groups
of
people
on
the
metrics.
A
A
That
is
happening
and
there
are
great
inequities
with
this
pandemic,
but
we
continue
to
do
a
good
job
here
and
I'm
so
appreciative
of
everything
that
everyone
in
our
community
does.
I
want
to
stress.
It
is
so
important
that
we
remain
vigilant
everyone's
watching
the
news
and
I'm
going
to
have
ike
ogbo
speak
in
a
minute
about
the
current
situation
here
in
evanston,
but
the
numbers
are
rising.
A
We're
seeing
the
numbers
rise
nationally,
we're
seeing
the
numbers
rise
in
illinois
and
we're
not
immune
to
that
here
in
evanston,
and
even
though
our
positivity
rate
is
a
little
above
2
percent
right
now,
significantly
less
than
what
we're
seeing
at
the
state
level
or
in
the
city
of
chicago
or
even
in
cook,
county.
A
It
is
on
the
rise
that
has
increased
a
third.
In
the
last
week
we
have
seen
the
number
of
cases
our
seven
day
moving
average
almost
double
in
the
last
week
from
around
seven
cases
a
week
ago
to
about
12
is
our
new
seven
day
moving
average.
So
we're
not
immune
to
that
here
in
evanston
and-
and
I
want
you
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
going
on
here
and
then
we'll
get
into
your
questions.
A
This
is
being
broadcast,
live
on
facebook,
it's
also
on
channel
16,
which
is
our
public
tv
station
here
locally
and
it
will
run
throughout
the
week.
So
we
can
continue
to
get
the
message
out
to
everyone
about
what's
going
on
here
in
the
pandemic.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
ike
ogbo
ike.
If
you
could
just
give
a
real
brief
sort
of
situation
report
for
all
of
our
viewers
on
where
we're
standing
here
in
evanston
with
the
pandemic,
that
would
be
great.
B
Okay,
everyone,
yes,
as
it
stands
in
evanston,
we
are
looking
at
a
positivity
rate,
as
the
mayor
indicated
a
little
over
two
percent.
This
has
actually
increased
from
previous
weeks
where
our
positivity
rate
was
a
neighborhood
of
one
plus
percent,
we're
still
in
a
good
shape,
but
we
are
looking
at
increases
in
this
positivity
rate,
which
of
course,
we
want
to
address,
and
the
way
to
address
this
positivity
rate
is
to
ensure
that
we
continue
to
practice
social
distancing
and
all
the
public
health
directives
as
it
stands.
B
Our
cases
currently
are
1118
in
evanston.
The
active
cases
that
we
currently
have
is
a
little
over
140
and
the
debts
that
we've
suffered
here
in
evanston
is
74..
Within
the
week
we
had
one
death
in
the
community
and
where
we
are
seeing
the
transmission
rates.
As
we
remember,
in
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
we
were
seeing
a
high
number
of
transmission
rates
in
our
long-term
care
facilities,
that's
sort
of
shifted
but
we're
seeing
our
communities
the
community
spread
in
evanston,
ranging
from
our
teenagers
to
those
20
to
29.
B
That's
what
we
have
seen
an
increase
of
infection
rates,
but
my
advice
to
all
of
us
would
be
forced
to
continue
practicing
these
public
health
practices
and
recommendations
and
guidelines
to
get
us
through
this
pandemic.
I
think
evanston
as
a
whole
has
done
a
good
job.
We
are
we're
getting
there
we're
getting
there
and
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
do
and
apply
these
methods
and
practices
that
we've
been
applying
for
in
the
beginning
in
the
middle
and
as
we
currently
are
going
through
this
pandemic.
A
I
have
thank
thank
thank
you
ike.
I
will
again,
I
just
want
to
stress
to
people
while
we're
doing
okay
here
in
evanston,
numbers
are
on
the
rise,
the
infection
rate,
which
is
critical,
which
means
how
many
people
does
one
person
with
covet
19
infect.
A
We
have
seen
that
jump
from
around
1.0
and
you
really
want
that
at
1.0
or
less
seen
that
jump
up
now,
ike
to
what
1.25
or
so
yeah
about
1.2,
so
1.2
percent,
and
so
when
we
talked
earlier
in
the
spring
about
slowing
the
spread,
it
was
because
of
the
exponential
growth
potential
of
this
virus,
and
that's
all
with
that
infection
rate.
So
we
need
to
keep
doing
our
part
all
of
us.
So
let's
get
to
let's
get
to
the
doctors
that
we
that
we
have
on
here.
A
First,
I
want
to
go
to
dr
david
hines,
who
is
with
metro
infectious
disease
consultants,
and
they
are
on
staff
with
amita
saint
francis
and
dr
hinds.
I
want
to
go
to
you
first
because
you
work
with
an
organization
that
has
really
probably
at
least
a
united
states,
if
not
global
perspective,
of
what's
of
what's
happening
here
and
would
love
just
some
initial
thoughts
of
yours
about
what's
happening
out
there
and
what
we
ought
to
be
thinking
about
here
in
evanston.
A
And
then
I'm
going
to
go
to
dr
singh
who's
working
on
on
the
pandemic,
with
north
shore
university
health
system.
C
Sure,
thank
you
and
I'm
happy
to
be
here
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
I'm
in
a
busy
group
that
goes
to
seven
states.
We
have
very
active
practices
in
kansas
city
in
phoenix
and
huntsville
alabama
and
atlanta,
georgia,
and
we
have
weekly
calls
with
the
whole
group.
C
All
hundred
doctors
are
on
this
weekly
phone
call
as
we
share
our
experiences
and
we're
also
involved
in
some
research
with
various
cocktails
of
medicine
for
cobit
19.,
and
I
came
to
saint
francis
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
with
that
came
covered
19
and
when
it
was
really
busy
in
april
and
may,
we
would
have
20
or
30
patients
filling
our
icus
and
very
sick
patients
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
and
then
it
kind
of
slowed
down
so
that
in
may
june
july
we
dropped
to
maybe
half
a
dozen
cases
or
so.
C
C
We're
seeing
a
slight
increase
in
the
cases
at
saint
francis
and
we
do
get
very
sick
patients
who
end
up
getting
intubated
in
the
icu.
C
It
does
seem,
though,
that
less
people
are
dying
of
19
than
before.
When
it
first
came
on
in
the
spring,
it
was
horrible
we
weren't
sure
of
how
to
treat
them
now.
Patients
are
getting
more
stable
cocktails
that
include
steroids
and
anticoagulants,
and
maybe
some
plasma,
maybe
some
very
expensive
drugs
like
tostaluzimab
and
remdesa
beer.
A
Thank
you
doctor,
dr
dr
singh.
Can
you
give
us
a
perspective
from
north
shore
university
health
system?
Lots
of
our
residents
obviously
go
there.
They
go
to
amita
amita
saint
francis,
and
what
are
you
seeing
on
the
ground
in
terms
of
hospital
admissions
and
other
insights
on
this.
D
Disease
thanks
mayor
and
thanks
ike
as
well
for
inviting
me
it's
a
real
pleasure
to
be
here.
I
will
echo
what
dr
hines
has
said
and
that
we're
seeing
cases
go
up
dramatically
across
the
state
and
certainly
across
cook
county
as
well.
At
north
shore,
we
have
a
similar
experience.
As
dr
hines
indicated,
we
saw
our
first
peak
of
cases.
D
Law
last
cup,
we
probably
had
tripled
the
number
of
patients
we
had
in
the
hospital
compared
to
a
couple
of
weeks
earlier.
D
So
at
the
north
shore
alone,
we
were
we
had
almost
50
patients
admitted
to
the
hospital
with
covet
infection.
D
So
these
young
individuals
go
home
and
have
dinner
with
mom
and
dad
or
go
visit,
grandma
and
grandpa
and
unfortunately
transmit
the
virus
to
them.
Because
what's
very
interesting
is
when
we
talk
to
the
majority
of
these
patients
who
are
at
the
hospital.
Most
of
them
can
relate
a
household
transmission
event,
either
from
a
child
or
a
grandchild,
and
so
again
we
we
have
to
be
extremely
vigilant,
because
the
the
hospitalization
rates
are
clearly
going
up
across
the
state
and
at
north
shore
as
well.
A
Thank
thank
you
doctor.
I
just
want
to
reinforce
that
point
to
all
the
viewers,
particularly
those
of
us,
including
myself,
who
have
teenagers
or
have
young
adult
young
adults
in
their
20,
while
the
you
know
likelihood
of
them
being
severely.
You
know,
harmed
by
this
disease
is
low,
there's
a
great
likelihood
that
they
transfer
that
to
their
parents
or
they
transfer
that
to
to
their
grandparents,
who
may
be
at
much
greater
risk.
Should
they
get
should
they
get
this
virus,
so
so
please
wearing
masks
all
the
time.
A
Even
you
think
I
don't
need
to.
I
don't
need
to
wear
a
mask
makes
a
huge
difference.
We
know
that
the
doctors
know
that
let's
get
to
the
questions.
So
if
you
have
questions
during
this
you
can
you
can
put
them
up
on
facebook
and
patrick
degnan
who
helps
coordinate.
All
all
of
these
will
help
feed
those
to
me
we'll
try
to
get
those
questions
answered,
but
we
already
have
some
that
have
come
in.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
our
third
doctor,
dr
siglin,
who
is
with
amita
health.
A
If
you
would
take
this
one,
the
question
came
in.
Is
it
advisable
to
get
an
annual
checkup
or
other
routine
medical
exam
at
this
time?
One
of
the
concerns
that
I'm
seeing
in
the
papers
that
our
public
health
director
and
I
are
talking
about
are
people
not
taking
care
of
themselves
and
getting
the
types
of
checkups
they
ought
to
be
in
the
screenings.
They
ought
to
be
getting,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
other
diseases,
cancers
and
so
forth
going
undetected.
So
I
know
people
have
concerns
about
coming
into
medical
establishments
during
this
time.
E
Be
happy
to,
I
think,
you're
raising
a
really
important
point.
A
lot
of
patients
are
not
getting
the
care,
they
need
the
mammograms,
the
colonoscopy,
the
physicals,
the
follow-up
on
their
illness,
we're
seeing
you
know,
patients
having
heart
attacks
because
they're
not
coming
in
and
getting
the
care
or
strokes.
I
think
it's
very
important
that
patients
feel
comfortable
to
come
in
and
get
the
care
they
need.
The
doctor's
offices,
the
hospitals,
are
very
protected.
E
We've
changed
our
processes
and
our
guidelines,
and
we
don't
have
waiting
rooms
packed
with
patients.
We
we
have
everyone
wearing
masks,
including
the
patient,
as
well
as
the
doctor
practitioners,
when
they're
doing
examinations
of
patients
have
masks
on
face
shields.
Gloves
everyone
is
hand.
Hygiene
rooms
are
sprayed
down,
so
it's
very
safe.
We
haven't
seen
transmission
of
this
virus
in
in
that
kind
of
setting,
so
everyone
should
feel
comfortable
to
come
in
and
get
the
examinations
that
they
need.
E
A
Thank
you,
so
it
is
safe
to
go.
Go
to
your
doctor.
There
are
procedures
and
practices
that
they
are
implementing
and
we're
not
seeing
transfers
of
the
virus
in
these
in
these
medical
settings
because
of
the
protocols
that
are
being
taken,
catherine
had
emailed-
and
maybe
you
could
just
emphasize
this
point,
dr
siglin,
she
says:
are
doctors
and
patients
required
to
wear
masks
during
medical
exams
and
procedures,
or
are
there
exceptions
to
that.
E
So
the
doctors
and
patients
should
be
wearing
masks.
Yes,
the
in
addition
to
that,
when
procedures
are
being
done,
doctors
are
not
only
wearing
an
n95
mask
but
they're
wearing
a
surgical,
mask
and
they're,
covering
it
with
a
face
shield,
so
they're
very
well
protected.
The
patients
are
wearing
a
mask.
The
only
time
that
the
patient
is
not
wearing
a
mask
is
if
they
need
an
evaluation
of
an
area
that
is
covered
by
the
mask,
so
it
has
to
be
removed
to
look
at
the
nose.
E
The
mouth
the
face,
something
of
that
nature,
but
otherwise
masks
are
worn
by
the
patients
as
well
and
under
those
circumstances,
transmission
of
a
virus
is
almost
non-existent.
It's
very
minimal.
A
Ike,
I
don't
know
if
you
saw
but
to
this
point
about
people,
not
you
know
taking
care
of
themselves
the
way
they
would
during
a
non-pandemic
time.
There
was
a
report
this
week
out.
I
saw
it
imprinted
in
the
new
york
times
about
the
number
of
fatalities
this
year
and
they
know
how
many
fatalities
are
related
to
this.
Did
you
see
that?
And
can
you
just
talk
to
folks
about
that,
because
I
think
it
it
drives
home
this
point.
B
Right,
I
I
don't
think
I
saw
that
article
amaya,
but
in
regards
to
the
number
of
deaths,
as
one
of
the
doctors
alluded
to
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
there
were
numerous
fatalities,
but
we've
actually
started
to
see
a
decrease,
in
fact,
fatalities
in
in
the
state,
even
with
everson
as
well.
As
you
know,
mayor
our
most
recent
deaths
just
happened
within
the
week
prior
to
that
we
didn't
have
any
debts,
but
at
the
height
of
the
pandemic
we
suffered
quite
a
number
of
deaths.
B
That
is
not
something
that
we
are
happy
about,
because,
of
course,
we've
had
people
perish
due
to
this
due
to
this
virus,
but
I
I
think
what
has
happened
is
we
have
implemented
infectious
disease
control
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
Everyone
was
scrambling
and
trying
to
understand
what
this
new
virus
is.
This
is
a
noble
virus.
A
Right
so
the
good
news,
good
new
good
news-
is
right:
we're
seeing
less
deaths
right
now,
I
suppose,
as
a
fatality
rate
to
to
to
this
virus,
but
what
we
are
seeing
in
epidemiologists
and
other
experts
that
are
studying
this
are
seeing
that
the
the
death
rate
year
over
year
is
considerably
higher
than
just
the
covid
19
related
deaths.
Now,
I'm
sure
there's
some
coven
19
related
deaths.
A
We
haven't
accounted
for
that
aren't
in
the
number
per
se,
but
there's
even
additional
deaths
and
those
additional
deaths
are
coming
about
because
of
what
dr
siglin
and
others
have
talked
about.
Where
people
aren't
getting
colonoscopies,
you
know
breast
cancer
exams
and
all-
and
all
of
that
I
mean
we're,
not
catching
it
early
enough
to
say
to
save
lives.
So
again,
please
take
care
of
yourself.
Please
go
to
the
doctor.
The
hospitals
and
the
doctors
offices
are
taking
this
very
seriously.
A
There
are
significant
protocols
on
them
not
only
by
their
own
institutions
but
by
the
illinois
department
of
health
and
other
institutions.
Dr
dr
singh
samuel
asked
us.
I
recently
had
my
annual
flu
vaccine.
How
safe
should
I
feel
against
covet
19?
D
Yeah
samuel,
thank
you.
That's
a
good
question,
so
so,
let's
just
pivot
towards
the
flu
vaccine.
First
of
all,
so
the
influenza
vaccine
really
only
protects
you
against
infection
due
to
the
influenza
virus,
and
we
all
know
that
it,
the
weather,
is
cooling
down
and
we're
approaching
winter
and
generally
influenza
is
a
seasonal
virus.
So
we
tend
to
see
its
peak
effect
during
the
winter
season
and
then
it
tends
to
disappear
as
summer
approaches.
D
D
So
the
influenza
vaccine,
unfortunately,
will
not
protect
you
from
the
coronavirus
and
and
so,
but
the
the
the
benefit
of
having
taken
the
vaccine,
and
I
applaud
you
for
having
done
that
is
that
it
will
protect
you
from
influenza
and
probably
the
worst
thing
that
can
happen
to
us
here
in
evanston,
the
state
of
illinois
and
the
country
in
general
is
to
have
two
viruses
co-circulating
at
the
same
time,
because
it's
difficult
enough
when
we're
dealing
with
the
covet
pandemic
it'll
be
doubly
difficult.
D
If
we
had
to
do
this
in
the
midst
of
an
influenza
outbreak
as
well,
so
I
do
strongly
strongly
encourage
everybody.
That's
listening
in
to
go
out
get
the
influenza
vaccine,
encourage
your
family
members
and
your
friends
and
your
co-workers
to
get
vaccinated
as
well,
because
it
is
a
safe
vaccine
and
it
is
a
vaccine
that
works
and
and
it
will
protect
you
against
the
influenza
virus.
A
Thank
you
doctor.
I
get
a
flu
shot
every
single
year
in
this
year,
it's
more
important
than
ever
that
we
all
get
flu
shots
because
you're
not
only
preventing
yourself
from
catching
the
flu.
You
really
are
saving
lives
because
you're
freeing
up
capacity
in
our
hospital
systems
so
that
those
that
have
covid19
can
get
the
the
care
and
the
treatment
that
they
need.
So
please
keep
that.
Please
keep
that
in
mind
and
ike
in
terms
of
the
flu
vaccine
here
in
evanston.
Where
could
people
get
that
vaccine.
B
A
Thank
you
so
vaccinefinder.org
and
my
understanding
is
again
because
of
the
pandemic,
with
cvs
and
walgreens.
Is
it
that
you
need
to
go
online
and
make
an
appointment?
So
you
actually
have
a
time
when
you
come
in
so
again,
they're
not
lining
up.
You
know
three
dozen
people
waiting
for
the
shot
is
my
understanding.
So
so
please,
please
go
out
there
and
get
your
and
get
your
your
flu
shot.
A
A
A
E
So,
as
far
as
saint
francis
goes,
yes,
we
have
been
taking
care
of
patients
with
covet.
E
So
if
you
have
mild
symptoms,
you
can
recuperate
at
home.
If
you
are
feeling
ill,
you
really
should
come
into
the
hospital
emergency
room
get
examined
and
get
admitted
to
the
hospital.
If
necessary-
and
you
know
we
have
all
the
protection,
negative
pressure
rooms
etc
to
to
safely
take
care
of
patients.
What
I
would
advise
is
if
somebody
feels
they
may
have
covid
and
they're
coming
to
the
emergency
room,
to
call
ahead
and
let
the
team
know,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
them.
E
We
protect
our
care,
givers
our
associates
and
any
other
patients,
so
we
want
to
provide
them
with
the
proper
protective
equipment
and
mask
before
they
even
walk
in.
So
we
prefer
a
call
ahead
so
that
we
know
that
you're
coming
and
we
do
take
care
of
patients
in
the
hospital
with
covet.
So,
yes,
we're
available.
E
North
shore
has-
and
dr
seen
could
speak
to
this,
I
believe,
has
been
using
glenbrook,
mostly
for
their
coveted
patients.
Maybe
he
can
speak
to
to
evanston
hospital.
A
Thank
thank
you
doc,
dr
sieglin
doctor
saying
yeah.
I
would
I
think
it
would
be
great
for
you
to
talk
about
how
you
and
how
north
shore
university
health
system
you
know
communicates
with
patients
that
test
positive.
What
that
threshold
is,
do
they
just
go
to
the
emergency
room,
or
should
they
be
talking
to
their
primary
doctor
and
all
of
that.
D
Yeah,
thank
you
that
so,
as
you
know,
north
shore
university
health
system
is
actually
an
organization
made
up
of
four
separate
hospitals.
This
highland
park
up
north
glenbrook
hospital
on
the
west
side,
skokie
hospital
and
obviously
evanston
hospital.
Now
all
of
these
hospitals,
emergency
rooms
will
receive
any
patient
who
needs
to
be
evaluated
for
covet
symptoms.
D
Dr
siglin
is
correct.
North
shore,
basically.
D
Has
decided
continue
to
get
the
kind
of
care
that
they
require
for
their
today
problems
so,
for
example,
if
you
need
to
be
hospitalized,
because
you
have
congestive
heart
failure
now
you
know
we
want
you
to
come
to
the
hospital
you
want.
We
want
you
to
be
treated
and,
and
so
we
we
designated
a
number
of
our
hospitals
to
take
care
of
those
problems.
If
you,
for
example,
have
an
orthopedic
issue,
you
have
bad
arthritis
in
your
knee
or
your
hip,
and
you
need
to
get
that
fixed.
D
Then
we
would,
of
course,
direct
you
to
skokie
hospital,
which
is
our
new
orthopedic
and
back
institute.
If
you
test
positive
for
covet
and
need
to
be
hospitalized,
then
we
will
direct
you.
We
will
transport
you
over
to
glenbrook
hospital,
where
we
have
specialized
rooms
and
covet
teams
that
have
been
trained
on
managing
and
treating
patients
with
covet
infection.
D
So
these
are
these.
These
sorts
of
distribution
of
our
resources
really
allows
us
to
optimize
care
of
patients
for
both
their
coverage
and
non-copic
conditions,
so
that
we
can
sort
of
speak
operate
as
normally
as
possible
and
allow
patients
to
get
their
usual
care,
which
a
lot
of
them
have
been
sort
of
forgoing
because
of
their
concern
about
the
pandemic.
And
they
don't
want
to
go
into
a
hospital.
A
Thank
you
doctor
thinking
about
some
screenings.
I
need
to
go
into
the
hospital
and
and
have
done
so
after
this
after
this
coronavirus
q,
a
I'm
going
to
call
my
doctor
and
then
make
it
up,
make
an
appointment
ike.
I
had
a
question
here
in
addition
to
following
public
health
directives.
I
think
lots
of
people
know
about
you
know
washing
your
hands,
keeping
your
distance
wearing
a
mask.
What
else
should
residents
do
to
stay
healthy
during
this
time.
B
Absolutely
thank
you
mayor,
that's
a
very
good
question
and
that's
what
we're
doing
here,
given
the
messaging
that
we
are
sending
to
to
the
public
regarding
checkups
regarding
screening
regarding
vaccinations,
because
these
will
help
protect
you
during
this
pandemic
and
also
another
aspect
that
we
typically
do
not
talk
about,
or
that
has
come
to
the
front
seat
so
to
speak,
is
mental
health.
B
This
pandemic
is
stressful
as
it
is,
and
a
lot
of
people
are
undergoing
stress
so
doing
this
pandemic
as
you
are
taking
care
of
your
medical
needs,
it
is
also
important
for
you
to
take
care
of
your
mental
needs.
I'll,
take
a
break,
make
sure
that
you're
exercising
read
a
book
make
sure
that
you
are
in
touch
with
loved
ones.
I
I
think,
if
you
apply
these,
these
practices
in
your
your
life
that
will
help
with
your
mental
health.
B
Are
there
some
organizations
that
you
can
tap
into
some
individuals
who
can
help
you
through
through
this
pandemic?
I
think
that's
very,
very
important
and
also
having
access
to
mental
health
is
also
very
important
and
for
those
who
are
seeking
any
type
of
mental
health,
accessibility
or
agencies,
it
is
listed
on
our
website.
If
they
can
go
to
our
website.
We
do
have
a
number
of
agencies
that
can
help
people
go
through
mental
health
difficulties
during
this
area.
But
if
you
apply
these
these
practices,
I
think
you'll
be
okay
through
through
this
pandemic.
A
I'm
so
glad
you
brought
I'm
so
glad
you
brought
that
up
ike
I
mean
we
know
that
you
know
mental
health
issues
were
on
the
rise
way
before
the
pandemic.
You
know
we
saw
that
in
all
all
the
data
and
we're
seeing
it
in
the
data
that
more
and
more
people
are
struggling
just
with
their
own.
You
know
mental
health,
which
has
a
direct
correlation
to
your
physical,
physical
health
because
of
the
pandemic.
So
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
resources
out
there
for
peop
for
people.
A
I
go
another
question
and
it
sort
of
relates
to
health
slightly
off
topic,
but
it
just
came
in
from
someone.
That's
watching
this
and
it's
from
heather
and
she
asked:
where
can
residents
experiencing
homelessness
go
during
the
day
as
the
weather
gets
colder?
You
know.
Is
there?
Is
there
a
plan.
B
There
is,
of
course,
a
plan
in
place
to
designate
one
of
our
facilities
where
homeless
individuals
can
go
and
get
warm,
and
during
the
hot
season
we
designated
the
facility
for
homeless
individuals
or
people
who
want
to
cool
off,
and
we
were
able
to
use
one
of
our
facilities
for
that
and
the
plan
is
to
continue
to
use
this
particular
facility
or
a
number
of
other
open
city
facilities
for
homeless
individuals
who
are
seeking
to
get
some
type
of
warmth.
A
So
heather
our
emergency
operations
center
for
the
city
remains
active.
Due
to
due
to
the
pandemic,
we
meet
every
wednesday.
I'm
gonna
ask
that
this
topic
be
placed
on
that
as
the
colder
weather
is
coming,
because
we
have
always.
We
have
always
done
stuff.
Interfaith
action
has
been
very
involved
in
this.
A
It's
done
excellent
work,
but
because
of
the
pandemic
and
the
protocols
that
need
to
be
followed,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we've
learned
from
last
year
and
have
a
better
plan
this
year,
how
to
take
care
of
our
homeless
so
ike.
If
we
can
just
make
sure
that's
on
our
agenda
for
next
for
next
wednesday
ike,
I
had
a
question
from
sally
here
who
talked
about
the
there's:
a
testing
event
run
by
the
state
coming
up
at
evanston,
township,
high
school
october,
26
and
27th.
B
So,
as
you
know,
mayor
we've
had
a
number
of
these
events
and
it's
very
important
doing
this
this
pandemic,
that
we
intend
testing
the
way
that
we
have
set
up.
Our
community
testing
event
is
setting
it
up
in
the
best
possible
way
where
individuals
are
not
exposed
to
any
type
of
contagion
or
covet
19..
B
So
in
essence,
your
only
interaction
would
be
with
a
healthcare
worker,
taking
your
your
your
sample
and
if
it
applies
to
those
who
are
drive
driving
through
the
cars
pull
up,
the
healthcare
worker
comes
takes,
takes
a
sample
and
that's
it,
so
it
takes
less
than
a
minute.
So
we've
designed
it
in
a
way
where
there
is
less
interaction
with
with
people,
and
we
are
not
forming
any
large
crowds
at
these
these
areas
and
we
have
been
very
successful
in
conducting
this
event
and
we're
really
looking
forward
to
our
event
next
week,.
A
Thank
you,
so
the
key
to
us
you
know,
managing
and
containing
this
virus
until
we
get
a
vaccine
is
about
preventative
measures
that
we
each
need
to
be
taking
and
that's
the
wearing
the
mask
watching
the
hands
socially,
distancing,
it's
testing
and
making
sure
we
get
people
tested
and
it's
contact
tracing.
A
A
Robert
had
a
question
and
it
relates
to
what
we're
learning
from
contact
tracing
and
I'm
going
to
ask
you
ike,
but
if
the
doctors
want
to
chime
in
with
anything
here
too
I'd
welcome
that
he
asked
the
question:
can
you
provide
any
information
on
the
source
of
the
recent
spikes
in
evanston
where's
where's
it
coming
from
just
like
that
prior
question
she's
concerned
about
geez?
A
If
I
go
to
this
testing
event
and
there's
a
hundred
people
there
am
I
more
likely
to
get
the
disease
there
and,
and
you
know,
through
contact
tracing,
we
can
get
a
sense
of
where
there
may
be
spread
occurring.
A
B
So,
as
we
know,
covert
19
widespread,
we
have
it
in
evanston
and
what
we've
experienced
our
new
cases
are
due
to
community
spread,
although
we've
had
some
cases
in
our
local
care
facilities
and
other
establishments
or
facilities,
but
it
continues
to
be
in
the
community
and
that's
why
it's
very
imperative
that
we
follow
public
health
directives
about
when
you
mask
social
distance
in
hand.
Hygiene.
When
you
cough,
I
make
sure
that
you
cough
into
your
hands
and
those.
So
all
these
directives
are
very
important
to
do
it
during
during
this
period.
B
When
it
comes
to
transmission
due
to
travel,
we
are
not
seeing
too
many
cases
in
that
regard.
We've
done
some
analysis
to
see
where
the
ticker
black
cases
have
come
from,
and
it's
not
really
attributed
to
travel.
It's
a
very
normal
number
of
cases
due
to
travel,
but
we
continue
to
see
it
within
the
community
whether
it
is
people
who
are
at
restaurants
at
our
bars.
We
see
it
there
or
just
people
in
the
community
and
that's
why
it's
very
acceptable,
like
I
mentioned,
to
continue
to
practice
these
recommendations
in
your
everyday
life.
A
Thank
you
mike
in
terms
of
the
contract.
Tracing
sue
has
asked.
A
Is
it
safe
that
quote
private
pre-k
schools
are
open
in
evanston
and
I
think
that
would
apply
to
other
schools
if
we
have
religious
schools
that
that
are
open,
either
hybrid
or
full
time,
our
public
schools
still
for
the
most
part,
you
know
remain
e-learning.
Only
eths
is
e-learning.
Only
right
now,
district
65
has
taken
some
students
back
a
very
you
know
smaller
number,
I
think
at
three
different
schools.
A
Is
it
safe
to
be
in
that
school
environment
or
in
that
child
care,
environment,
and-
and
I
know
the
other
question
they're
not
asking
it
right
here-
is
hey
when
are
kids
going
to
get
back
to
district
65
and
to
into
eths
and
other
schools,
and
I
continue
to
work
closely
with
our
superintendents
here
in
town
they're
part
of
the
mayor's
pandemic
task
force,
and
I
know
they
are
looking
at
the
the
larger
positivity
rate
for
the
entire
region,
which
again
is
moving
in
the
wrong
direction
right
now
and
go
and
going
up
so
well.
A
We
can
talk
more
about
that,
a
different
coronavirus,
q,
a
absolutely.
C
B
B
So
as
it
pertains
to
classrooms.
It
is
very
important,
the
layout
of
the
classroom,
to
ensure
that
the
seats
the
table
and
the
furniture
where
we
have
our
kids
students
situated
or
six
feet
apart,
and
not
only
that
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
ample
supply
face
coverings.
If
the
students
come
to
school
without
any
and
of
course
we
are
strongly
encouraging
everyone,
of
course,
to
have
their
face
coverings.
So
in
situations
where
a
six
feet
distance
cannot
be
met.
B
B
Is
also
very,
very
important
doing
this
pandemic
to
ensure
that
we
are
clearly
disinfecting
furniture
and
high
contact
services,
and
not
only
that,
even
though
we
are
allowing
students
to
return
to
school,
the
room
has
to
be
set
up
in
a
way
where
it
allows
a
certain
capacity.
B
The
recommendation
at
this
point
is
recommending
50
of
the
capacity
that
a
room
will
normally
fit.
So
as
we
are
planning,
we
will
have
to
take
a
look
at
the
design
and
the
layout
of
the
room
to
make
sure
that
we
make
these
concessions
make
sure
that
we
make
these
things
so
that
we
can
operate
safely
in
those
spaces.
So
I
think
that
is
that
the
basis
of
it
planning
and
making
sure
that
that's
executed,
timely.
A
And
properly,
thank
you.
Thank
you
mike
dr
dr
hines
rosalie,
who
asked
a
question
earlier.
Just
had
a
follow-up,
she
said.
I
have
read
that
a
high
temperature
fever
is
what
kills
the
virus.
Is
this
true?
I
have
had
two
past
covid
tests,
but
I
still
have
a
minor
have
minor
symptoms,
including
a
lingering
cough.
C
Unmute
how's
that
hey
there
you
are
okay,
sorry,
I
lost
connection
with
my
computer.
So
now
I'm
calling
you
on
the
phone
anyway,
my
concepts
of
fever
have
changed
since
I
was
in
training
where
we
would
try
to
cool
patients
down
that
had
a
high
fever,
but
really
the
fever
is
the
body's
way
of
trying
to
kill
whatever
organism
is
causing
problems
now
in
children.
High
fevers
are
dangerous
because
of
the
association
with
seizures,
but
in
an
adult.
C
The
patients
that
we've
seen
with
covet
don't
have
that
high
of
a
fever
I
mean
they
can
go
up
to
100
102,
but
to
get
higher
than
that
in
my
experience
has
been
unusual,
so
I
don't
think
fever
should
make
you
think
one
way
or
the
other
about
whether
you
have
covet
or
not,
and
I
think
it's
the
body's
way
of
responding
to
it.
If
you
have
a
high
fever,
then
you
should
go
to
the
emergency
room
to
be
evaluated,
to
check
your
oxygen
levels
to
see.
A
Thank
you
for
that
doctor
and
then
dr
singh.
To
add
to
that,
I
don't
believe
rosalie
rosalie
has
a
fever,
but
is
wondering
if
that's
why
she
still
has
symptoms,
meaning
if
she
had
had
that
high
fever
and
everything
else
it
could
have
killed
off
the
virus.
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
you
want
to
add
to
dr
heinz
heinz's
thoughts
on
this.
D
I
I
do
apologize.
I
lost
the
first
part
of
the
question
because
the
the
zoom
reception
cut
out
here,
but,
as
I
understand
it,
this
individual's
fevers
have
resolved,
but
they've
not
completely
recovered,
or
they
don't
completely
feel
well.
Is
that.
A
That's
what
I
guess
that,
as
I
understand
it,
it
looked
like
she
was
saying:
she's
read
that
the
high
fevers
can
sort
of
kill,
kill
the
virus.
Dr
heinz
spoke
about
that
she
doesn't
have
a
fever,
but
still
has
these
other
lingering
symptoms
and
sure
you
know
maybe.
A
D
Yeah,
so
I
yeah
you
know
so
so,
as
dr
heinz
probably
answered
earlier,
everyone
seems
to
have
a
different
constellation
of
symptoms
and
and
that's
because
and
that's
what's
most
troubling
about
this
virus
and
trying
to
get
a
grip
to
who's
who's,
infected
and
who's,
not
because
the
symptoms
can
range
from
a
very
mild
illness
to
a
very
severe
illness
and
within
that
range
people
have
a
different
constellation
of
symptoms,
so
adults
tend
to
complain
more
of
body,
aches
and
headaches,
and
just
general
fatigue
and
malaise
with
cough
that
progresses
to
shortness
of
breath.
D
Of
course,
we
ask
them
to
come
in
immediately
to
be
evaluated.
Children,
on
the
other
hand,
seem
to
be
more
likely
to
complain
of
a
sore
throat
and
adolescents
tend
to
have
more
headaches.
Body
aches,
also
some
sore
throat
and
and
within
the
mix
of
all
of
these
patients
report.
Variable
temperature
spikes,
some
do
not
recall
having
fevers
and
some
recall
fevers
with
terrible
chills
associated
with
it
and
in
some
of
these
individuals
I
think
the
reason
for
that
is
when
their
headaches
and
their
body
aches
start.
D
They
start
taking
the
tylenol
and
the
ibuprofen
which
in
turn
masks
the
fever,
and
so
they
so
when
you
ask
them
directly,
do
you
remember
having
a
fever?
They
say?
No,
but
really
the
fever's
been
masked
by
the
treatments
that
they've
been
taking
for
their
general
malaise
and
their
body
aches.
So
it
sounds
like
in
this
case.
Fever
is
not
a
prominent
part
of
her
symptomology
of
covet
infection,
but
rather
she's
having
other
symptoms
which
again,
as
I
said,
are
not
uncommon.
Some
people
have
runny
noses
sore
throat.
D
Loss
of
smell
and
taste
is
a
very
unusual
but
prominent
feature
that
should
make
you
think
of
covet
and
those
symptoms
can
actually
linger
for
longer.
Some
have
a
general
malaise.
There's
been
a
syndrome
of
brain
fog,
described
as
well,
where
people
feel
that
their
memory
and
their
mental
cognition
is
not
quite
as
sharp
as
it
used
to
be.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
doctor.
We
are.
We
have
completed
the
questions
that
have
come
in
today
for
the
doctors
that
are
on
this
panel,
so
they
have
they.
They
have
people
to
to
get
healthy
and
lives
to
save.
So
I
am
gonna
just
offer
a
a
big
thanks
to
dr
michael
sieglin,
with
amita
saint
francis,
thank
you
for
being
with
us
today
to
dr
kamal
singh
at
north
shore
university
health
center.
A
Thank
you
for
being
with
us,
dr
into
dr
david
hines,
the
metro
with
the
metro
infectious
disease
consultants,
which
is
on
staff
at
amida,
saint
francis.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
Sharing
your
sharing
your
expertise,
I'm
gonna!
Let
you
all
get
back
to
work.
Ike,
I'm
going
to
keep
you
for
a
five-minute
rapid
fire
questions
that
we've
got
from
a
few
more
people.
Okay,
thank.
E
A
All
right
we're
down
to
the
last
five
five
minutes,
so
this
is
rapid
fire,
quick
questions
and
quick,
quick
responses.
Mary
beth
asked
are
the
number
of
active,
covet
19
cases
on
northwestern's
campus
included
in
the
city
of
evanston's
number
of
active
cases
that
are
shown
on
our
daily
web
on
our
website.
A
B
A
Okay,
can
you
talk
real
briefly
about
transmission
rates
outdoors,
because
I
know
you
get
a
lot
of
emails.
I
get
a
lot
of
emails
from
people
that
say
hey.
I
would
really
like
to
see
the
city
mandate
masks
outdoors,
and
that
is
not
part
of
the
governor's
order.
It's
not
the
recommendation
of
idph.
A
B
B
C
B
It
is
higher
because
people
are
more
in
close
flexibility
with
each
other
because
of
the
indoor
environment
outdoors.
The
transmission
is
quite
lesser
than
indoors
and
we've
gotten
a
number
of
requests
or
email
saying.
Why
don't
we
mandate
an
outdoor
mask
wearing,
but
that's
not
following
public
health
protocols
from
the
cvc
or
from
the
state
you're
required
to
wear
a
mask
outside
when
you
are
able
to
meet
that
six
feet:
social
distance
and,
of
course
indoors
as
well,
when
you
are
not
able
to
beat
that
social
distance
of
six
feet.
A
And
I
would
say
all
in
all
my
perception
and
I'm
around
town
quite
a
bit
is
that
I
see
a
lot
of
people
wearing
masks
outdoors,
particularly
when
I'm
downtown
and
my
my
company's
office
is
downtown
and
I
always
wear
mine
outside
when
I
walk
around
downtown
and
I
see
most
other
people
doing
it
when
you
go
indoors
in
restaurants,
all
that
you
have
to
be
wearing
a
mask
into
our
into
our
stores,
that's
more
important
than
ever.
A
Given
that
we're
going
to
cold
season-
and
we
know
the
transmission
rate
is
much
greater
indoors
than
outdoors
and
that's
why
there's
a
lot
of
worry
among
public
health
experts
in
in
mayors
and
others
in
this
country
about
the
rising
number
of
cases
we
may
see
during
the
cold
weather,
we
have
two
more
questions,
one
from
jim.
A
B
There's
no
evidence
that
suggests
that
curbid
can
be
contracted
through
water
or
swimming
activities,
but
there
are
guidelines
that
you
can
follow
to
make
sure
that
you
are
safe
when
you
participate
in
such
activities,
which
of
course
is
as
you
are
lounging
around
the
pool
area
to
practice.
Social
distancing,
eliminate
large
crowds,
wear
mask
as
you
like
nodding
around
the
pool
facility,
but
it
is
not
recommended
that
you
were
not
inside
of
the
water
because
of
breathing
problems.
B
Also
around
the
pool
area.
Look
at
the
layout
of
the
pool
to
have
furniture
distanced
from
one
furniture
to
the
other
so
that
we
can
maintain
that
social
distance.
Also,
if
you
are
sick,
stay
home
if
you're
exhibiting
any
symptoms
of
covered
stay
home.
So
these
are
the
recommendations
in
regards
to
poor
activities
or
any
exercise
that
one.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
last
question
from
helene.
If
I
quarantine
for
18
days,
contactless
grocery
no
contact
with
others,
even
you
know,
even
with
masks
and
take
a
covet
19
test
after
14
days
of
quarantine,
is
it
safe
to
share
thanksgiving
with
my
parents
who
are
in
their
80s?
I
think
this
is
a
question
that
a
lot
of
people
have.
B
B
14
day
point
in
every
system,
but
there's
some
areas
in
which
they
recommend
looking
forward
to
quarantine
after
returning
from
a
high
incidence
area.
So
these
reasons
would
be
why
someone
will
quarantine
and
the
reason
for
the
14
days
mayor
is
to
ensure
that
you've
passed
the
incubation
period
of
the
virus.
B
The
inflation
period
of
the
virus
is
14
days
and
if
you
do
not
develop
any
symptoms
within
that
period,
you're
pretty
much
free
to
interact
with
others,
but,
as
you
are
doing
so,
as
you
indicated,
their
parents
are
in
their
80s
or
older
they're,
the
most
vulnerable.
To
this
to
this
press
when
you're
doing
so
the
recommendation,
the
advice
is
for
you
to
weigh
your
mass
practice.
Social
distancing
practice,
hand,
hygiene,
so
that
your
elderly
parents
or
anyone
period
I
do
not
contract
any
type
of
virus.
B
So
that's
the
recommendation
given
that,
so,
if
the
individual
tests
within
that
period
and
test
negative,
that's
all
well
and
good,
but
if
this
individual,
you
know,
even
in
the
course
of
them
quarantine,
test
test
positive,
then
that
individual
of
course
will
have
to
be
isolated
for
putting
a
10
days
is
when
the
individual
is
the
most
infectious
and
after
10
days.
If
the
symptoms
improve,
if
there
are
no
symptoms,
even
but
you
are
required
for
those
that
10
day
period.
A
But
presumably
helene's
plan
here
of
quarantining
herself
not
having
contact
with
anybody
testing
herself,
be
you
know
afterwards.
If
she
tests,
you
know
negative.
Presumably
she
doesn't
have
you
know
the
the
covet
19,
but
your
suggestion
would
be
you
know
if
you
go
visit,
your
parents
helene
to
still
practice
social
distancing
and
even
wear
a
mask
outside
of
eating.
Your
thanksgiving
dinner
in
the
house
just
to
be
extra
cautious,
is
that
very
white.
Absolutely.
B
All
right,
if
you're
visiting
your
parents,
who
are
women
age
with
advancing
age
who
are
65
years
or
older,
make
sure
that
you're
rain.
When
your
mask
within
your
visit-
and
this
applies
to
everyone
whenever
you
cannot
maintain
a
six
feet
distance
between
each
each
other.
Make
sure
that
you,
when
you
wear
your
mask.
A
We
all
love
our
parents,
we
all
love
our
parents
and
it's
hard
to
to
miss
a
whole
holiday,
particularly
as
your
parents
are
older
and
like
helene.
My
parents
are
are
increasing
in
age
and
I'm
not
going
to
get
to
see
them
at
how
thanksgiving,
but
certainly
would
love
to
and
would
have
that
same
question
that
helene
has
today
so
ike
agbo.
Thank
you
so
much
for
spending
an
hour
with
us
today.
A
Thank
you
for
the
leadership
that
so
many
people
feel
blessed
in
this
community
to
have
under
under
your
leadership
of
our
health
department.
Thank
you
to
to
everybody
that
has
watched
today
and,
let's
keep
being
vigilant.
Let's
recognize
that
we're
not
immune
that
infection
rates
are
going
up
across
the
country
in
our
state
and
even
here
in
evanston,
and
we
all
need
to
continue
to
be
vigilant.
A
We
know
what
we
need
to
do
and
last
message:
if
you
have
someone
like,
I
do,
that's
a
teenager
or
you
have
young
adults
in
your
family.
Please
sit
down
and
stress
to
them.
It's
not
about
your
concern,
although
we
do
all
have
a
concern.
I
don't
want
my
child
to
get
covered
19..
It
is
about
the
transfer
of
infections
from
young
people
and
that's
where
we're
seeing
a
slight
spike
to
others
who
have
underlying
health
conditions
or
older
older
folks
who
are
more
at
risk
of
having
severe
complications
from
cobit
19..
