A
A
I
appreciate
you
all
tuning
in
it's
been
a
while,
since
we
have
had
one
of
the
coronavirus
q
a's,
but
we
thought
it
would
be
good
to
have
one
given
the
return
of
our
northwestern
students,
our
our
juniors
and
our
seniors,
and
we'll
give
a
little
more
on
that,
as
well
as
the
startup
of
our
schools
and
and
halloween
coming
up
as
well.
A
A
I
don't
think
we
advertised
that
and
then
luke
fagora,
who
is
the
associate
vice
president
and
chief
risk
and
compliance
officer
for
northwestern
university
luke,
also
sits
on
the
mayor's
pandemic
task
force
that
we
started
back
in
march
and
so
he's
on
that
every
every
friday
and
I
asked
both
of
them
if
they
would
join
us
today,
because
many
of
the
questions
that
residents
asked
related
to
northwestern
there
were
some
of
them,
so
they're
going
to
join
us
for
the
very
beginning.
A
And
then,
when
we
wrap
up
those
northwestern
school
related
questions,
we
will
then
move
to
trick-or-treating
and
then
we'll
move
to
just
public
health
guidelines
and
enforcement
questions
that
we
receive
from
the
audience.
If
you
have
a
question
during
this
discussion
today
and
you're
on
facebook,
live,
go
ahead
and
put
that
question
in
and
our
communications
team
led
by
patrick
degnan
who
works
behind
the
scenes,
will
feed
us
those
questions
and-
and
we
can
try
and
get
those
asked
before
we
jump
right
into
the
questions.
A
I
just
want
to
give
a
quick
update
for
folks
on
on
where
we
are
here
in
evanston
with
the
coronavirus.
We
continue
to
do
well
as
a
city.
A
I
want
people
to
understand
that
the
decisions
that
we've
made
and
that
we
will
continue
to
make
here
in
evanston
are
going
to
be
fact-based
science-based,
based
on
recommendations
from
public
health
experts
in
driven
that's
how
we're
going
to
make
make
these
decisions
and
that's
how
we
have
made
them
and
because
of
the
work
of
everybody
in
this
community
on
wearing
face
masks
on
keeping.
You
know
six
feet
apart
from
other
people
when
you're
outdoors
or
when
you're
indoors.
A
It's
really
making
a
difference,
and
our
numbers
relative
to
many
other
communities
continue
to
look
good
real,
quick
on
on
those
numbers.
Just
the
the
highlights-
and
this
is
as
of
our
wednesday.
A
A
We
produce
a
situation
report
residents
get
some
of
that
information
every
thursday
in
the
weekly
report
that
that
comes
out
from
the
city
or
the
weekly
newsletter,
if
you're
not
getting
that,
please
go
on
to
the
city's
website
city
of
evanston.org
and
sign
up
for
our
newsletters,
but
tens
of
thousands
of
people
get
them
and
we
are
providing
information
to
date.
Here
in
evanston
we
have
had
over
1100
around
1150
cases
of
covid
19
here
in
evanston.
A
A
We
have
currently
ill
about
60
people
here
in
evanston
that
have
coven
19,
comparing
us
to
other
communities
on
cases
per
capita.
So
if
we
look
at
cases
per
ten
thousand
we're
about
154
cases
for
10
000
here
in
evanston
skokie's
at
233
and
chicago's
at
294.,
again,
it's
just
relative
comparative
data.
A
But
it's
helpful
to
to
be
aware
of
that,
because
I
think
it
it
gives
you
a
sense
that
the
hard
work
of
evanstonians
is
paying
off
relative
to
to
our
our
nearby
neighbors,
who,
I
would
say,
are
also
doing
well,
but
but
have
higher
per
capita
numbers
than
us
our
seven
day.
Moving
average
is
a
little
less
than
six
cases
a
day
that
we're
recording
here
in
evanston
a
number
that
you're
hearing
more
and
more
about
is
the
positivity
rate.
A
Our
positivity
rate
in
evanston
is
at
1.67
and,
and
it
fluctuates
a
little,
but
it's
been
between
one
and
two
percent
pretty
consistently
now
for
quite
some
time,
and
the
number
of
cases
that
had
occurred
previously
in
our
senior
living
facilities
is
way
down.
We've
had
a
couple
recently,
but
we
have
we've
done
a
really
good
job.
Our
senior
living
centers,
our
senior
living
pandemic
work
group
led
by
mary
leary
at
matthew,
lifeway,
who
works
with
all
the
other
senior
living
centers
they've,
really
done
a
nice
job
with
their
controls.
A
Another
data
point
this
is
good
for
folks
to
know
is
the
infection
rate.
You
know
how
many
people
are
infected
by
someone
that
has
coveted
19.
We
have,
you
know,
stayed
pretty
steady
around
1.0,
meaning
one
person
with
coven
19
is
affected
infecting
one
other
person.
Ideally
you
want
to
see
that
number
at
one
or
below
when
you
start
to
see
that
number
go
up.
A
That's
when
you
can
have
exponential
growth
of
this
of
this
disease,
and
you
know
lastly,
I'll
just
say
remember:
we
are
part
of
a
larger
region
here
in
the
in
the
community,
and
so
we
are
part
of
region,
11.
ems
region,
11.
A
that
positivity
rate
for
the
entire
region,
which
is
basically
suburban
cook
county,
is
4.5.
So
remember
a
minute
ago,
I
said
we're
at
1.67
percent,
so
we're
doing
a
lot
better
than
the
overall
region
that
we're
part
of,
but
we
are
part
of
that
overall
region.
A
Hospital
admissions
continue
to
to
look
good
they've
increased
seven
out
of
the
last
three
out
of
the
last
seven
days,
but
there
is
availability
in
terms
of
the
medical
beds
and
the
icu
beds,
we're
not
having
the
kind
of
a
problem
and
concern
we
were
worried
about.
So
all
this
data
is
good.
A
We
opened
the
beaches
this
summer.
We
never
shut
our
lake
front
down.
We
had
summer
camps
this
summer.
The
schools
obviously
are
e-learning
and
that's
continues
to
be
an
issue
for
a
lot
of
families.
A
I
regularly
talk
to
the
school
superintendents
they're
part
of
the
mayor's
pandemic
task
force,
and
we
will
you
know,
they're
monitoring,
all
this
data
really
really
well.
So
some
people
may
say:
oh
well,
the
school
said
if
hey
once
that
infection
or
the
positivity
rate
drops
below
three
percent
again.
They
are
looking
at
that
wider
region
that
ems
region
10,
which
I
just
mentioned,
that
4.5
percent,
and
that
was
as
of
as
of
wednesday.
So
that's
just
a
rundown
on
our
on
our
data
in
where
we
are.
A
The
key
message
is
actions
that
everyone
is
taking
is
making
a
difference
here
in
evanston.
The
level
of
collaboration
between
all
these
different
entities-
our
schools,
our
hospitals,
northwestern
university,
the
city,
is-
is
making
a
difference.
A
A
It
is
getting
colder
outside
we're
going
to
spend
more
time
inside
public
health
experts
like
dr
polinkas
and
others
are
worried
about
that,
and
so
so
we'll
talk
about
that
today
as
well,
but
that's
a
rundown
where
we
are
on
the
data.
Our
public
health
director,
ike
ogbo,
has
now
joined
us,
so
he
is
with
us
today
as
well
and-
and
I
want
to
go
right
into
right
into
the
questions.
A
So
I'm
going
to
turn
to
so
one
of
you,
either
luke
or
dr
paulincus,
to
talk
about
how
has
the
return
of
northwestern
students
affected
our
coronavirus
situation
and
then
I'm
gonna
ask
ike
to
add
anything
to
that
response
and
give
us
give
our
audience
a
little
background
on
what
northwestern's
done.
Who
actually
came
back?
How
many
students
and
all
of
that
as
well.
C
Sure
I
could
I
could
start
and
then
happy
to
let
dr
blinkus
and
I
join
in
appreciate
the
chance
mayor
to
be
here
and
speak.
So
just
as
a
quick
reminder,
northwestern
is,
is
back,
we've
got
a
relatively
few
percentage
of
our
classes
being
purely
in
person,
a
slightly
greater
number
being
a
hybrid
approach
and
some
being
virtual
from
an
undergraduate
perspective.
We've
got
our
juniors
and
seniors
back.
C
Most
of
those
agencies
live
off
campus
and
then
roughly
about
700
students
or
so
living
in
the
residence
halls
right
now,
and
so
it
definitely
a
de-densified
approach
towards
the
fall
quarter.
As
we
reactivate
the
campus,
I
would
say
so
far.
Our
experience
has
gone
relatively
well.
I
think
we're
we're
pleased
with
where
we
stand
today.
C
Hopefully,
the
community
noticed
one
of
the
things
we
put
into
place,
what
we
refer
to
as
wildcat
wellness,
which
is
really
a
modified
quarantine
to
start
our
academic
year
as
people
move
back
to
the
evanston
area,
and
we
think
that
our
students
took
that
seriously
and
and
it
actually
helped
with
with
us,
getting
off
to
the
right
foot.
So
you
talked
about
some
some
numbers
for
the
community
as
a
whole
and
for
the
region
on
a
10-day
basis.
C
Northwestern's
testing
positivity
is
about
0.35
and
we
are
testing
all
of
our
undergraduate
students
regardless
if
they
live
on
campus
or
off
campus
weekly
and
and
we've,
I
think
over
the
last
10
days
had
about
22
or
23
positive
cases.
Our
rolling
average
is
about
1.8
new
cases
a
day
that
we're
identifying
and
similarly
to
usage
about
the
r
values.
C
You
know
we're
not
really
seeing
campus-based
transmission
again.
Students
living
together
in
the
community
is
obviously
something
that
we've
paid
attention
to
and
worried
about,
but
we
haven't
seen
too
much.
Our
students
are
doing
a
really
good
job.
I
think
about
following
the
guidelines
that
we've
put
out
again,
not
to
say
that
it's
been
perfect
but
they're
taking
it
seriously
and
that's
playing
out
in
many
of
the
numbers.
C
We've
done
just
shy
of
20
000
tests
physically
on
campus,
since
people
began
returning
at
the
end
of
august
and
again,
our
metrics
have
been
relatively
consistent
over
that
time
from
a
positivity
perspective
and
prevalence.
So
over
that
period
we've
identified.
I
think
a
total
of
80
cases,
roughly
around
80
cases,
kind
of
new
through
our
in
on
on
campus
testing
out
of
that
again,
roughly
20
000
tests.
C
So
I
think
to
start
the
year
we're
pretty
pleased
with
where
we
stand
again,
knowing
that
things
can
change
quickly,
we're
watching
these
metrics
on
a
daily
basis.
But
I
don't
know
dr
blinkus
anything
you'd
like
to
add.
B
Sure,
well,
I'd
I'd
like
to
mention
that
the
health
service
and
and
northwestern
university
in
general
has
a
very
strong
collaborative
relationship
with
the
evanston
public
health
department
very
early
on
actually
ike,
and
I
got
together
to
sort
of
make
sure
that
we
had
a
strong
understanding
of
the
need
for
us
to
work
together,
and
it's
been
really
really
helpful
and
our
staff
is
in
contact
with
the
other
side,
so
to
speak
every
day,
and
we
benefit
from
that,
and
also
of
course,
we
remain
consistent
with
guidance
that
is
part
of
the
evanston
public
health
service
and
also
illinois
department
of
public
health
and
cdc.
B
So
there's
just
really
one
voice
about
how
to
manage
covet
infection,
and
we
do
have
thanks
to
to
luke
and
other
members
of
the
senior
administration
of
the
university
extra
resources
have
been
put
into
the
process
that
allows
us
to
really
take
a
strong
public
health
posture.
For
example.
B
We
know
that
testing
is
important
and
luke
talked
about
that,
and
that
testing
is
both
for
asymptomatic
students.
They
go
regularly
to
the
jacobs
facility,
which
we
were
able
to
open
up
and
a
portion
of
it
expressly
for
that
purpose,
and
I
have
an
occasion
to
visit
it.
I
was
there
yesterday
it's
working
splendidly
and
it's
a
very
convenient
way
for
faculty
staff
and
students
to
get
their
what
we
call
it
assurance
testing
symptomatic
students
come
to
the
health
service,
any
respiratory
illness.
We
have
basically
expanded
our
capabilities.
B
We
have
essentially
taken
over
a
parking
lot
so
that
we
can
have
additional
capacity,
because
we
know
we're
going
to
be
facing
the
the
overlap
of
flu
and
covid
in
the
next
few
weeks
and
we're
ready
for
that.
B
Additionally,
luke
and
I
have
devised
a
mechanism
for
expanded
contact
tracing.
So
once
a
person
is
detected
number
one
they
are.
The
actual
positive
case
is
isolated.
We
have
dedicated
isolation
facility
on
campus
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
interview
that
individual
and
we
get
their
close
contacts.
Some
of
them
are.
Many
of
them
are
students.
B
If
there
are,
if
they,
they
actually
have
relatively
few,
because
most
of
them
are
doing
social
distancing
and
we
work
collaboratively
with
ike's
crew,
because
there
are
people
that
are
not
students
that
ike
has
an
interest
in,
and
we
share
all
of
our
contact
tracing
information
with
the
evanston
public
health
department.
B
Once
we
find
a
a
close
contact,
if
it's
a
person
in
the
northwestern
community,
we
stay
in
contact
with
them,
because
we
want
to
reinforce
the
quarantine.
People
who
are
just
contacts
not
known
positives
are
in
quarantine
and
that's
regardless,
whether
they're
on
campus
or
not.
We
stay
in
contact
with
them
so
that
they
adhere
to
the
rules
of
of
of
quarantine,
to
protect
everybody
in
the
community
from
getting
infected.
B
If
a
student
is
in
university,
dedicated
housing,
they
are
actually
moved
to
a
dedicated
quarantine
facility
and
in
addition
to
just
putting
them
there,
we
conduct
a
daily
case
management
inquiry
with
them
to
see
how
they're
doing-
and
that
is
part
of
our
way-
to
assure
the
health
of
everybody-
who's
positive
and
quarantined
and
get
the
proper
medical
care.
So
I
think
I'll
stop
there,
but
that's
our
general
process
in
case
people
wonder
what
is
northwestern
doing.
A
Thank
you,
dr
paulincus.
I'm
gonna
ask
some
real
rapid,
rapid
questions,
quick,
quick
answers.
If
a
resident
in
evanston
is
interested
in
seeing
the
northwestern
breakdown
of
the
data
is
that
available
to
them
and
where
could
they
find
it.
C
Yes,
so
northwestern
has
a
public-facing
dashboard
on
our
corona
covet
19
website.
You
can
click
on
on
dashboard
and
you'll
see
the
total
positive
results,
as
well
as
our
positivity
and
weekly
tests.
A
So
you
can
see
the
weekly
number
on
that.
Okay,
all
right,
so
residents
can
go.
There
see
the
weekly
number
ike
ogbo,
our
public
health
director
is
is
with
us
and,
let
me
just
say,
ike
is
doing
a
fantastic
job
for
this
city
and
working
with
all
of
these
different
institutions
like
northwestern's
like
our
senior
care
facilities,
and
it
really
has
been
one
of
the
highlights
of
my
time
as
mayors
working
with
ike
ogbo
ike
evanston
numbers
can
residents
find
those
and
where
can
they
find
them.
D
Excellent,
I'm
sorry.
I
had
some
technical
difficulties
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
but
yes,
we
have
it.
On
my
website,
city
of
edmonton.
We
actually
have
a
dedicated
section
on
our
website
where
individuals
can
find
our
results
and
on
the
website
you
can
also
find
positivity
rates.
You
can
find
on
a
weekly
basis.
A
Okay
question:
we
get
a
lot
and
I
know
you
get.
A
lot
are
northwestern's
positive
cases
included
in
evanston's
numbers.
Can
you
talk
about
that?
Ike.
A
Okay,
so
if
I
see
today,
we
have
six
cases
and
there
were
two
northwestern
cases,
they're
included
in
the
six
if
they
lived
here.
Okay,
it's
a
question
from
carol
and
I've
had
a
similar
question
from
other
people.
Since
we've
had
the
pandemic
and
she
was
asking,
can
the
city
break
down
out
of
its
number?
You
know
how
many
are
northwestern
students
and
where
I've
heard
that
before
is
I've
heard
people
say:
oh
well,
can
you
break
down?
A
D
From
a
public
health
standpoint,
this
is
information
that
we
cannot
segment
so
at
this
point,
we're
not
considering
breaking
up
information,
even
if
it
pertains
to
northwestern
or
annual
long-term
care
activities,
because
there
are
some
privacy
reasons
attached
to
that,
and
not
only
that
we
want
to
protect
our
residents
as
well.
So
you
start
to
dive
into
the
hipaa
regulations.
What
information
you
can
please
and
what
information
you
cannot
release.
D
A
This
is
a
question
that
relates
to
our
schools,
but
I
think
dr
palincas
could
also
speak
about
it
because
there's
many
residents
in
our
town
that
not
only
have
school
age
children,
but
they
also
have
college
age.
Children
and
many
of
them
are
e-learning,
and
so
this
is
a
question
that
we
got
from
valerie
and
beatrix.
A
D
So
so
the
city
isn't
restricting
individuals
from
returning
to
school.
We
are
following
the
state
guidelines
which,
at
this
point,
of
course,
is
allowing
students
to
return
to
school,
but
these
guidelines
are
put
in
place
to
ensure
the
safe
tea
of
students
returning
to
school,
and
this
is
what
we've,
of
course,
conveyed
to
numerous
schools
that
have
started
to
reopen
or
have
reopened
already.
Example.
D
Of
course,
our
private
schools
we've
been
able
to
review
the
plans
for
a
safe
reopening,
which
has
incorporated
the
recommendations
and
the
public
health
protocols
to
safely
reopen.
D
We've
also
fielded
questions
in
a
safe
reopening
of
these
schools,
because
there
are
numerous
questions
that
are
being
asked:
the
health
and
human
services
department
and
we've
been
able
to
provide
them
guidance
and
answer
those
questions,
and
even
when
it
relates
to
public
messaging
as
well,
we
ensure
that
we
send
them
up-to-date
information
and
sound
public
health
protocols
and
strategies
so
that
they
are
informing
their
constituents
well,
so
these
are
things
that
we've
actually
implemented.
It's
not
that
the
city
is
preventing
the
schools
from
reopening.
B
And
I'd
like
to
state
that
actually
northwestern
university
likewise
follows
the
state
guidelines
so
that
individual
schools
and
colleges
and,
of
course,
elementary
and
high
schools
need
to
look
at
those
state
guidelines
measure
their
capability
and
if
they
are
ready,
submit
a
plan
that
is
subject
to
review
by
public
health
and
many
of
them
go
forward.
So
northwestern
university
has
de-densified
largely
we.
B
We
do
have
students
on
campus,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
students
who
are
actually
not
on
campus,
and
we
also,
even
those
that
are
on
campus
generally,
do
most
of
their
learning
by
remote.
So
that
is
the
way
that
that
northwestern
was
able
to
meet
the
state
guidelines,
because
the
classrooms,
when
they
exist
as
physical
classrooms,
are
de-densified
in
a
way
that
meets
all
the
state
guidelines.
B
I
think
that
the
schools
in
evanston
are
going
through
that
same
process,
they're
doing
what
they
can.
I
think
most
schools
know
that
probably
in
person
education
is
slightly
better
than
remote
and
they
would
like
to
go
there.
The
question
is:
do
they
have
the
resources
and
the
physical
capability
to
do
so?.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
doctor.
I
think
the
frustration
for
some
here
in
evanston
is
that
they
look
at
our
collective
effort,
which
I
just
reported
at
the
beginning
is
good
right.
Our
numbers
are
positivity
rate,
1.67
six
cases
a
day
I
mean
all
of
that
is
because
of
the
good
work
everybody's
doing.
Then,
why
can't
our
kids
go
back
to
the
public
schools,
and
I
can
tell
you
from
my
conversations
with
the
superintendents.
A
You
know
that
the
positivity
rate
that
they
are
looking
at
closely
is
that
three
percent
positivity
threshold,
as
well
as
all
the
issues
that
that
ike,
ogbo
and
and
dr
polinka
said
in
terms
of
how
would
we
actually
make
this
work
so
it's
safe
inside
there
is
a
difference
between
restaurants
and
classrooms,
and
you
know-
and
we
are
maintaining
sort
of
the
reduced
capacity
on
restaurants
here
in
evanston,
for
you
know
for
the
time
being-
and
I
think
you
just
saw
recently
this
week-
I
think
chicago's.
A
You
know
elevating
that
in
increa
increasing
that
we
continue
to
be
in
close
contact
with
our
business
community
and
restaurants
about
that.
But
right
now,
public
health
in
evanston
is
holding
it
where
it
is,
but
I
think
that's
the
frustration
and
so
in
those
conversations
with
the
superintendents,
their
concern
is
again.
A
We
have
lots
of
teachers
and
aides
in
our
schools
who
don't
live
in
evanston
who
come
from
all
these
other
communities,
primarily
in
suburban
cook,
county
and
again,
suburban
cook
county,
as
I
mentioned
up
front,
is
4.5
positivity
rate,
but
nonetheless
it's
it's
a
real
challenge
for
everybody,
for
the
kids
for
the
parents
and
everyone
to
do
to
do
e-learning.
A
What
I
would
certainly
encourage
our
schools
and
others
and
I've
said
this
in
the
pandemic
task
force.
Call
you
know,
let's
look
and
see
how
effective
you
know.
The
catholic
schools
or
private
schools
are
because
you
know,
they're
starting
to
go
back
and
and
managing
it,
and
I
think
that's
happening
in
other
public
schools
as
as
well,
so
I
know
it's
a
priority.
A
I
know
the
superintendents
are
hearing
from
lots
of
people
in
our
community
and
trying
to
work
on
that.
One
final
question
on
northwestern
question
that
came
in
from
pam
and
maybe
luke.
You
want
to
take
this
first.
How
will
northwestern
and
the
city
handle
increased
visitors
related
to
nu
football
games
to
keep
people
safe?
So
big
ten
just
made
the
announcement,
so
maybe
you
could
give
our
our
viewers
an
understanding
of
exactly
what
that
announcement
is
and
what
that
actually
entails.
C
Sure
I'll
I'll
speak
to
what
I
what
I
know,
though
this
thing
these
things
can
change.
Obviously,
but
you
know
the
big
ten
has
has:
it
will
try
to
have
a
shortened
season.
C
There'll
be
a
few
home
games
for
northwestern,
but
as
of
right
now,
the
plan
is
to
really
still
not
have
public
attendance
at
at
the
games
and
the
the
actual
attendance
would
likely
be
limited
to
a
few
number
of
tickets
for
the
individual
players
and
like
their
family,
and
so
I
think,
we're
we're
expecting
very
low
attendance
in
the
actual
in
the
actual
facility.
C
We
won't
be
having
tailgating
activities,
that's
been
restricted
for
the
year,
so
I
think
the
current
thought
process,
mayor
hegarty,
is
that
that
the
playing
of
football
shouldn't
drive
a
lot
of
additional
traffic
through
evanston
right
now.
Obviously,
we're
across
the
country
we're
seeing
that
some
sports
in
some
cities
some
states
are
experimenting
with.
You
know:
limited
density
in
the
stadiums,
but
right
now
the
10's
been
pretty
strict
about
this.
A
Yeah
thanks
thank
thank
you
luke.
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
you
know,
say
much
more
on
on
that
other
than
I'll
just
remind
people,
there's
always
concern
whenever
we're
we're.
You
know
taking
another
step
forward.
A
Okay,
when
we
open
the
beaches,
when
we
open
summer
camps
and
everything
and
like
I
said
at
the
beginning,
we
will
continue
to
make
decisions
based
on
science
and
data
and
facts
and
public
health
expertise,
and
even
though
we
opened
and
took
those
steps
all
along,
we
didn't
see
a
big
jump
in
our
numbers,
and
so
we
just
all
need
to
continue
to
be
vigilant
here.
Everybody
is
doing
that
here
in
evanston,
and
so
we
can
open
up
more
and
more
things
take
more
steps.
A
I
think
that
wraps
up
the
questions
we
had
about
schools,
and
so
I
guess
I
did
one
one
final
question
kelly
asked,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
really
know
this
answer,
because
the
schools
haven't
gotten
this
far.
What
is
the
testing
strategy
for
schools
specifically
for
teachers
and
staff
and
students
once
the
district
resumes
in-person
teaching?
A
D
Money
so
our
long-term
care
facilities,
they
have
what
is
required,
which
is
surveillance
testing
because
the
population,
at
least
our
long-term
care
facilities
house,
our
high-risk
populations,
and
it
is
required
that
they
have
routine
and
surveillance
testing
as
it
pertains
to
the
schools.
It
is
not
recommended
at
this
point
for
surveillance
testing,
but
the
schools
are,
can
can
definitely
have
their
own
testing
strategies
in
place
and
what
we've
also
been
recommending
to
schools
is
for
them
to
consult
with
their
medical
providers
for
protesting.
A
Thanks,
thank
you
ike.
I
think
up
front.
You
heard
either
luke
or
dr
polinkas
talk
about
the
number
of
tests.
That
northwestern
has
done
remind
me
of
that
number.
Was
it
over
10
or
20
000
tests
that
you've
completed.
A
So
21,
so
northwestern
alone
has
done
25
000
tests.
I
just
wanted
to
to
mention
to
our
viewers,
because
testing
has
been
an
issue
right,
not
enough
testing
capacity
out
there.
It's
still
not
ideal,
ideally
we'd
like
to
even
have
more,
but
more
and
more
testing
is
coming
online.
I
can
tell
you
back
in
april
we
had
2100
people
to
almost
2200
people
in
evanston
tested
last
month.
At
the
end
of
september
it
was
8
800
people
in
evanston
that
were
tested.
A
Okay,
all
right,
so
we
do
capture
northwestern
there,
but
you're,
seeing
like
the
number
of
tests
you
know
go
up
month
over
month
over
months,
so
that
is
that
is
positive
news,
dr
polinkas
luke.
Thank
you
for
spending
a
half
an
hour
with
us
this
morning,
with
our
viewers
appreciate
it.
A
All
right
we're
going
to
move
on
to
other
questions
that
you've
submitted.
Let's
go
into
trick-or-treating.
We
got
a
couple
questions
about
trick-or-treating
I've
gotten
a
couple
emails!
The
you
know,
city
sent
out
a
an
announcement
last
week
to
the
community
about
trick-or-treating
sue,
and
michelle
asked
the
question:
what
precautions
will
evanston
take
to
minimize
the
potential
spread
of
covet
19
during
trick-or-treating?
Are
you
going
to
remind
people
that
everyone
needs
to
be
masked
in
that
rubber
plastic
mask
do
not
prevent
the
covet
spread?
A
I
can't
wear
my
joker
mask
and
think
that's
going
to
do
it.
Why
did
the
city
decide
to
move
forward
and
then
somebody's
asking?
Why
did
the
city
decide
to
move
forward
trick-or-treating
and
how
can
this
be
done
safely?
So
I
think
there's
concerns
out
there
for
people
I
mean
I
think
those
people
are
like.
I
want
to
do
trick-or-treating
safely
in
evanston
and
others
who
are
like.
I
don't
want
it
at
all
or
others
to
say.
I
don't
want
people
coming
to
my
door.
D
D
So
as
you
indicated
mayor,
we
do
have
guidelines
that
we've
set
forth
so
that
we
can
safely
have
halloween
and
trick-or-treating
and,
of
course,
having
a
costume
mask
is
not
going
to
be
a
substitute
for
wearing
a
face
covering
and
that's
why.
We
want
people
to
be
very
mindful
of
the
type
of
costumes
that
they
are
purchasing
to
ensure
that
the
costumes
will
allow
face
coverings.
That
would
cover
the
nose
and
the
mouth
one
of
the
strategies
or
the
guidelines
that
we
also
require
is
to
avoid
large
brows
to
limit
the
number
of
houses.
C
D
Distancing
while
we
are
celebrating
that's
very
important
yeah,
and
I
think
the
reason
why,
of
course,
we're
having
halloween
at
this
point
is
because
our
numbers
are
actually
looking
pretty
good.
I
would
consider
evanston
a
high
incident
environment
with
community.
D
Our
positivity
rate
is
less
than
two
percent
and,
as
you
know,
the
threshold
according
to
the
state
is
eight
eight
percent.
So
we
are
way
below
that
eight
percent
pressure
that
will
make
us
become
more
restrictive
and
that's
why
I'm?
Consequently,
all
alone-
and
as
I
mentioned,
we
reserve
the
right
to
pull
things
back
and
remember.
Surprise.
A
Right
right-
and
I
think
I
think
the
news
that
we
all
woke
up
to
this
morning,
hearing
that
the
president
of
the
united
states
and
the
first
lady
tested
positive
for
covid
is
just
a
great
reminder
to
all
of
us
that
you
know
masks
make
a
difference
right,
wear
your
mask
when
you're
out
there
keep
six
feet
apart
and-
and
these
are
measures
that
public
health
experts
know,
can
you
know
minimize
the
spread
of
this
of
this
disease
and-
and
we
know
that
that
wasn't
being
done-
you
know
in
the
white
house,
it's
widely
widely
been
reported,
but
when
this
is
done,
it
can
make
it
make
a
big
difference,
and
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
people
here
in
evanston
doing
this.
A
I
want
to
put
a
plug
in
right
now
for
a
wonderful
challenge.
That's
going
on
in
our
community.
It's
called
behind
the
mask
if
you
google,
behind
the
mask-
and
it's
also
on
our
city
website
and
we're
going
to
put
it
in
our
thursday.
Actually
it
went
out
in
our
thursday
newsletter
yesterday.
You
could
see
it
at
the
at
the
bottom
and
a
bunch
of
young
people
in
our
community
advocates
for
action
put
together
this
campaign
and
they're
asking
for
anyone
to
to
do
a
quick,
video,
a
tick
tock.
A
You
know
you
name
it
be
creative
and
then
there's
going
to
be
prizes,
it's
going
to
run
the
entire
month
of
october
and
again
it's
behind
behind
the
mask.
A
Let's
now
move
to
the
one
other
thing
on
halloween
that
I
just
want
to
mention,
because
a
lot
of
people
said
hey,
you
know
I
want
to
know
like
I'm
concerned,
you
know
if
I
have
a
bowl
of
candy,
you
know
I
do.
I
want
to
accept
trick-or-treaters,
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
have
them
in
the
house
period,
I'm
not
going
to
be
in
my
house,
I'm
going
to
be
outside.
Maybe
I'm
going
to
set
up
a
table
or
something
like
that.
A
I'm
concerned
like
with
the
bowl
you
know
so
you're
going
to
have
to.
If
you
accept
trick-or-treaters
sort
of
said,
hey
here's.
You
know
to
the
extent
you
can.
You
know
here's
the
procedures
here
at
my
house
we're
going
to
enforce
those
as
a
city,
and
we
are
we
already
have,
but
there's
some
really
creative
ideas
on
how
you
can
make
you
know.
Candy
available,
I
mean
I've
seen
people
put
boards
up
and
they
literally
put
a
staple
in
of
all
these
m.
A
Ms
and
so
a
kid
comes
up
and
just
takes
one
and
throws
it
into
their
bag.
So
there's
lots
of
things
that
you
can
do
if
you,
if
you,
google,
that
it'll
give
you
a
lot
of
ideas
out
there,
let's
go
on
to
public
health
guidelines
and
enforcements
ike.
We
got
a
lot
of
questions
here,
so
I
know
we
have
to
stop
at
one.
I
have
a
hard
stop,
so
let's
try
and
see
if
we
can
get
through
these
quickly.
A
Okay,
margaret
asked:
how
are
precautions
and
mandates
around
covet
19
being
enforced?
Specifically
outdoors,
you
get
a
lot
of
emails.
I
get
a
lot
of
emails.
People
say
hey
mayor,
I
saw
somebody
they
weren't
wearing
a
mask.
They
need
to
be
wearing
a
mask,
remind
people
what
the
outdoor
mask
policy
is
and
and
what
people
should
do.
D
Absolutely
so,
our
outdoor
policy
is
to
wear
a
mask
when
you
can't
maintain
a
six
feet:
social
distance
between
others,
and
that
also
applies
indoors
and
in
terms
of
enforcement.
We
do
have
public
health
codes
that
allow
us
to
do.
Enforcement
during
this
pandemic
and
we've
achieved
compliance
through
letters,
reminders,
notices,
orders,
instructions
and
inspections,
and
it's
something
that
we
started
of
course,
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
and
we'll
continue
throughout
the
pandemic,
and
not
only
that.
D
What
we've
also
implemented
is
when
we
are
having
social
events,
outdoor
events,
special
events
that
we
have
a
significant
input
in
allowing
this,
allowing
these
outdoor
events
to
ensure
that
they
meet
public
health
strategies
and
protocols
and
in
some
situations,
of
course,
we
ask
organizers
at
these
outdoor
events
to
revise
their
plans
to
suit
what
the
guidelines
are
for
phase
four.
A
Great
madeleine
asks:
will
the
city
mandate
wearing
masks
on
streets,
sidewalks
and
everywhere
outside
there's
some
people
that
would
like
a
hard
and
fast
when
you're
outside
you
have
to
wear
the
mask.
Even
if
there's
nobody
around
you
got
it,
you
got
to
wear
it.
I
know,
that's
not
the
policy
of
the
state,
and
you
know
and
madeline
saying
hey.
Why
doesn't
the
city
impose
impose
that.
D
In
this
situation,
we
are
following
the
state
guidelines
and
by
individuals
wearing
a
mask
when
it
is
impractical
to
stay
six
feet
away
from
individuals
and
keep
in
mind
what
all
of
the
transmission
is
respiratory
drop
to
when
you
sneeze
when
you
hold,
and
if
you
don't
have
anyone
within
the
vicinity
of
six
feet
that
really
isn't
particularly
a
reason
to
to
wear
a
mask.
So
that's
why
we
continue
to
emphasize
when
and
what,
when
you
are
within
close
proximity
of
individuals
and
if
it's
impractical
to
maintaining
that
six
week,
distance
between
individuals,
yeah.
A
Yeah,
what
really
upsets
me
is
when
I
go
to
restaurants
and
I'll
try
to
talk
to
the
manager,
the
owner
of
the
restaurant.
A
When
I,
when
I
stop
in
there-
and
it's
usually
for
me-
it's
usually
I
go
in
for
takeout
during
lunch
time
and
I'll
say:
hey
how's
it
going
and
how's
the
business
doing,
and
one
of
the
frustrations
that
I've
heard
from
some
of
them
is
that
people
have
come
in
not
wearing
masks
and
that
sort
of
shocks
me
because
I
in
general,
I
think
people
understand
like
indoors,
you've
got
to
wear
a
mask
and,
and
so
again
as
it
gets
colder,
all
of
us
need
to
be
wearing
a
mask.
A
I
can't
stress
that
enough
and
again
when
you
are
outside-
and
there
are
other
people
in
close-
you
know-
proximity
and
vicinity
to
you-
you
should
be
wearing
a
mask.
It
is
a.
It
is
a
good
measure.
We
know
it
makes
a
difference
and
it
keeps
our
community
safe.
A
You
know
kelly
had
mentioned
this
and
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
a
different
topic,
but
it
was
about
masks
and
just
saying
that
at
the
new
robert
crown
community
center
lots
of
people
are
excited
about
the
new
center
they're
outside
they're
playing
on
the
fields.
You
know
and
I'm
not
seeing
people
hardly
enough
people
wearing
masks.
A
So
I
will
are
I
I'll
just
ask
that
you
make
sure
to
get
with
with
lawrence
hemingway
our
parks
and
rec
director
and
make
sure
we've
got
proper
signage
and
everything
else
at
that
new
facility.
So
people
understand,
because
obviously,
we've
got
the
lights,
there's
a
lot
of
people
there
everybody's
excited
about
it
and
another
another
plug.
We
are
going
to
have
a
celebration
mast
only
okay,
so
you
gotta
come
with
your
mask
on
tomorrow,
at
robert
crown
community
center
at
10
a.m.
A
D
Absolutely
so
we
should
continue
to
employ
these
practices
washing
hands
social
distance,
we're
wearing
the
mask,
and
also
one
thing
that
I
would
encourage
people
to
to
do.
D
Is
flu
vaccinations
during
that
this
period
is
very
important
so
that
that
will
keep
us
healthy
throughout
this
pandemic,
and
one
of
the
things
that
people
can
employ
is
to
ensure,
especially
with
our
elderly
population
mayor,
is
to
ensure
people
who
are
coming
into
the
other
seminary
who
are
coming
into
their
units
if
you
have
caretakers
to
ensure
that
they
wash
their
hands
attendance
before
you
and
also
making
sure
that
individuals
will
have
on
their
own
health
conditions
or
taking
their
medications.
A
I
think
another
thing
that
can
be
put
in
place
and
I'm
happy
that
my
building
did
that
I
work
in
downtown,
which
is
the
han
building.
I
mean
there
are
signs
on
both
the
doors
now,
in
that
say,
mass
required,
it's
sort
of
a
cool
sign
and
everything
and
some
people
say
well.
I
don't
have
to
wear
a
mask.
I'm
not
you
know
six
feet,
you
know,
I
don't
see
anybody
else
around
here,
but
you
walk
up
the
stairwell
and
all
of
a
sudden
you're
right
next
to
somebody
else.
That's
that's
in
the
building.
A
You
know
and
we
have
so
many
offices,
and
so
many
you
know
multi-family.
You
know
buildings
here
in
town,
where
many
people
live,
that
those
buildings
themselves
and
all
the
common
areas
you
know
require
masks.
D
A
Yeah
I
park
in
the
parking
garage
downtown
and
I
always
put
my
mask
on
when
I
get
out
out
of
the
car,
because
I
got
to
get
in
the
elevator
and
I've
yet
to
run
into
somebody
that
doesn't
have
a
mask.
I
mean
everybody
seems
to
be
be
doing
that,
but
we
just
need
to
keep
keep
doing
it.
We
know
again
from
public
health
experts.
We
know
historically
from
the
1918
pandemic,
that
there.
A
Okay,
come
come,
the
fall
in
october,
the
numbers
really
rose
back
in
1918
and
december.
They
rose
as
well.
So
I
can't
stress
the
importance
again
of
masks
enough
kath,
oh
kathleen,
and
karen
asked
and
again
I
don't
even
know
if
our
numbers
are
big
enough
to
answer
this
question
kathleen
and
karen,
but
they
asked
what
activities
are
accounting
for
the
spread
of
coven
19
in
evanston?
Are
there
any
patterns?
So
I
just
before
you
answer
that
question
I
want
everybody
to
know.
A
We
have
been
doing
contact
tracing
since
day,
one
we
continue
to
do
contact
tracing
we've,
just
hired
a
half
a
dozen
new
contact.
Tracers
that
are
working
for
the
city.
Part
of
the
purpose
of
contact
tracing
is
to
try
and
figure
out.
You
know
where
is
this
emanating
from
it's
not
as
easy,
not
super
easy
that
you
can
always
tell,
but
that
was
the
question.
Can
you
tell
where
the
spreads
coming
from
and
evidence.
D
Well,
well,
our
experience
so
far
has
been
with
household
members
and,
as
we
all
know,
in
these
phases,
especially
right
now
that
we're
in
phase
four,
although
we
have
some
reopening,
but
people
are
still
working
remotely
and
because
of
the
close
proximity
of
household
members,
we've
experienced
some
spread
within
household
members
and
for
those
who
also
go
outside.
D
As
we
all
know,
korea
is
widespread
and
we
are
a
mobile
community
where
we
travel
and
we
engage
in
various
activities
and
we've
actually
seen
some
spam
as
well
in
that
in
those
situations,
and
not
only
that
some
spread
into
traveling
outside
evansville
traveling
to
another
state
also
has
also
been
a
fraction
of
where
we
have
seen
our
transmission
rates.
But
for
the
most
part
it
has
been
within
the
household.
D
A
Experience:
okay,
how
long
has
karen
had
asked
this
question
since
we
touched
on
contact
tracing
just
now,
I'm
going
to
ask
it:
yes,
karen
we
are
still
conducting
contact
racing.
We
have
since
case
one.
How
long
does
it
take
the
city
to
reach
close
contacts
of
an
infected
individual.
D
Okay,
our
policy
is
to
reach
individuals
within
24
hours
of
receiving
the
case,
and
it
is
something
that
we've
implemented
and
conducted
plus
done.
Since
we
received
our
two
confirmed
cases
remember
back
in
march
mid-march,
so
it
requires
us
to
lose
24
hours
to
get
in
touch
to
ensure
that
we
give
instructions
for
individuals
to
quantity.
D
So
it's
been
working
well
for
us
and
people
have
been
compliant
as
well.
I
think
people
had
a
bigger
number
of
issues
with
people
refusing
to
quarantine.
D
D
D
If
you
have
an
individual,
it's
more
interactive,
but
with
the
public
that
number
might
might
rise,
especially
if
you're
going
to
work
then
you've
had
these
interactions
that
meet
the
public
health
protocols
for
contact
tracing.
Then
there's
numbers
in
that
situation
right.
So
it
varies
depending
on
time
spent
with
individuals
where
the
person
is
the
person
working
at
home
and
having
the
best
interaction
with
the
public,
and
it
depends
on
the
type
of
work
an
individual
does
or
activities
like
that.
A
Okay,
all
right,
yeah,
patricia
asked,
will
evanston
be
loosening
its
restrictions
around
indoor,
dining
and
capacity
at
theaters
and
performing
art
venues.
A
I
worry
about
it
a
lot.
I
talk
to
some
of
the
directors
of
these
different
programs,
whether
it's
the
music
institute
north
light
theater,
which
is
interested
in
coming
to
evanston
very
worried
about
century
theater.
There
was
a
big
article,
I
think
in
the
wall
street
journal,
one
of
the
newspapers
this
week
about
them
asking
congress
for
some
kind
of
aid,
because
there's
concern
about
theaters
across
this
country
and
they're.
They
are
a
big
part
of
the
the
life
and
the
energy
of
a
city.
Right
is
your
theaters
and
everything.
A
So
it's
on
the
minds
of
a
lot
of
people
patricia.
I
know
the
channel
the
challenge
with
theaters
again
is:
they
do
need
to
have
a
certain
number
of
people
in
there
to
actually
be
able
to
financially
operate
and
we're
limiting
the
number
and
it's
indoors
and
everything.
So
so
that's
that,
I
will
stress,
you,
know,
stay
calm
and
carry
out.
It
has
been
our
tag
and
I
think,
a
really
successful
one
and
talking
to
the
restaurateurs.
A
A
lot
of
them
are
just
you
know,
breaking
by,
because
so
many
people
are
willing
to
do
a
take
out
or
carry
out
so
please,
as
the
winter
season,
the
fall
season
the
winter
season
come.
Please
continue
to
do
that
to
help
support
them
again,
we
don't
want
to
lose
the
essence
of
evanston.
A
You
know
before
we.
We
don't
want
to
lose
the
essence
of
evanston
and
we
risk
losing
that
if
we
don't
keep
supporting
our
local
businesses
as
much
as
we
all
can
all
right.
Let's
move
on
for
the
final
questions
on
testing
in
vaccines,
something
that
would
excite
all
of
us
when
a
vaccine
is
discovered.
Well.
First
off
before
I
ask
christine's
question,
I
give
us
an
update
on
what
you're
hearing
as
a
public
health
official
on
where
we
stand
with
a
successful
vaccine
being
brought
to
market.
D
D
We
are
hopeful
that
there
will
be
some
vast
scenes
at
the
telling
of
the
year
the
end
of
the
year,
they're
proposing
sometime
in
november
or
december,
but
it
will
be
a
very
limited
supply,
so
the
way
that
we
are
looking
at
this
is
who
gets
the
bathroom
first
and
the
way
that
is
structured
is
looking
at
our
most
vulnerable
residents,
those
in
october
care
facilities
and
those
who
take
care
of
the
public
being
our
healthcare
workers
and,
of
course,
our
first
responders
and,
of
course,
equity
will
be
applied
across
the
board
when
it
comes
to
the
dissemination,
the
administration
and
the
distribution
of
the
vessel.
D
So
these
are
things
that
are
still
being
worked
out.
The
plans
are
not
concrete.
At
this
point.
We
are
revising
adding
movement
as
information
gets
to
us,
so
it
is
still
in
the
works
and
we
are
hoping
that
we
will
have
a
final
answer
to
when
are
we
actually
going
to
get
these
best
scenes
in
these
upcoming
upcoming
weeks?
But
everyone
should
stay
tuned.
A
So
christina
asked
when
a
vaccine
is
discovered,
what
are
the
steps
taken
to
ensure
that
it's
safe
for
the
public
in
and
is
there
a
time
frame
you
could
give
for
distribution
and
things
going
back
to
normal
once
a
vaccine
is
created.
D
Right
once
cdc
releases,
the
best
season
release
products
of
those
vast
scenes
that
are
safe
for
the
public,
because
it's
on
the
go
various
testing
stages.
It
is
very
hard
to
say
how
long
it
would
take
to
bassinate
the
population
and
ervington.
It
will
all
depend
on
the
availability
of
the
vast
seas
and
the
allotment
that
evanston
gets,
and
these
these
are
still
being
sorted
out
by
the
state
and,
like
I
mentioned,
information
will
get
to
us
when
it
does,
but
the
states
they
are
still
working
through
these
angles.
D
A
I
want
to
stress
for
christine
and
christina
and
the
viewers,
when
I
was
on
a
call
several
months
ago
with
dr
fauci
and
a
whole
bunch
of
mayors
around
the
country,
he's
stressed,
and
he
can't
emphasize
this
enough-
he's
stressed
that
they
are
not
as
long
as
he's
in
charge
up
there.
They
are
not
going
to
release
an
unsafe
vaccine
to
the
public.
A
A
A
It
felt
very
reassuring
to
hear
dr
valjey
say
that,
and
he
stressed
that
quite
a
bit
so
last
question
from
kr:
does
the
city
have
a
plan
for
vaccine
distribution
once
it
becomes
available
like.
D
Yes,
it
is
a
plan
that
we've
been
working
on
for
for
months
actually,
and
the
situation
is
very
revolving
and
we
update
our
information.
As
information
reaches
us
from
the
state.
We
either
remove,
add
and
revise
these
plants,
but
there's
definitely
a
plan
for
it
and,
as
I
mentioned
from
what
we're
hearing
from
the
state
there's
going
to
be
quite
a
limited
supply
at
first
then
going
into
2021.
There
will
be
ample
supply
of
the
vaccine
and
the
way
that
I
mentioned
we're
looking
to
structure.
D
It
is
for
those
individuals
who
are
the
most
vulnerable
amongst
us.
Getting
it
then,
of
course,
the
health
care
workers,
because
of
course,
they
have
to
be
healthy
in
order
