If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Good
afternoon
everybody
this
is
Mayor
Steve,
Haggerty,
I'm,
sorry
that
this
is
starting
about
25
minutes
late.
As
everyone
knows,
this
is
a
rapidly
evolving
situation
for
all
of
us.
It's
a
stressful
situation.
I
mentioned
the
other
night.
It's
going
to
result,
it's
going
to
test
our
resolve.
It's
going
to
test
our
patience,
it's
gonna
test,
our
trust
and
other
people,
but
personally
I
have
been
there
before
through
many
other
disasters
from
9/11
to
Katrina.
A
What
really
bad
things
happen
to
people
and
I've
always
seen
communities
pull
together
and
you
know,
come
out
stronger
and
I
really
do
believe
that
here
for
Evanston
and
I
know
that's
hard
for
people,
but
I
would
say
they're
there.
Very
much
is
a
plan
I'm
in
a
lot
of
meetings
and
what
we
want
to
try
to
get
across
to
people
today
and
those
questions
and
answers
that
you
you've
asked
is
to
answer
some
of
those
I
know.
There's
misinformation
out
there.
A
We
want
to
dispel
that
we've
got
our
Director
of
Public
Health
here
and
it's
our
public
health
authorities,
our
medical
doctors
and
our
public
health
specialists,
who
basically
are
developing
and
it's
evolving
over
time.
How
we
are
trying
to
mitigate
this
from
spreading
and
everybody,
as
you
know,
has
a
part
in
that
to
flatten
the
curve
and
to
slow
the
spread.
I
cannot
stress
that
enough.
A
This
is
not
a
time
to
have
your
kids
out
in
the
park
playing
football
together
and
in
team
sports,
where
they're
touching
each
other
in
this
in
the
sport,
it's
not
a
time
for
sleepovers
and
everything
else.
This
is
a
time
for
us
to
use
our
very
good
judgment
and
follow
the
guidelines
that
have
been
released
by
the
Center
for
Disease
Control,
so
I'm
asking
everybody
in
the
strongest
terms
possible
to
do
that.
A
So,
let's
go
and
we'll
start
the
questions
they
have
been
provided
to
us
and
we'll
try
to
get
through
those
pretty
quickly
and
if
you
have
additional
questions
or
things
that
are
coming
up
as
we're
speaking
feel
free
just
to
post
them
on
Facebook
live
because
I
know
this
is
Facebook.
Live
as
well,
so
why
don't
I
start
you
with
the
first
question,
what
is
being
done
to
assist
the
senior
facility
with
confirmed
kovat,
19
cases
and
just
for
background
for
folks,
we
have
had
a
senior
facility
facility
here
in
Evanston.
A
As
people
know,
we
have
a
lot
of
them.
We
have
a
wonderful
senior
community.
There
have
been
two
confirmed
cases.
The
positive
news
is
both
of
those
patients
had
been
hospitalized
and
they
are
coming
home
today,
but
there's
lots
of
questions
because
we
all
saw
what
happened
downstate
with
Willowbrook
and
that
was
the
first
senior
living
for
the
center,
so
I
know.
There's
a
lot
of
questions.
A
I
really
would
like
you
to
explain
to
our
community
how
things
what
the,
what
the
approach
is,
that's
being
taken
given
again
that
we
have
a
limited
number
of
testing
capacity
and
tests
and
I
will
say
the
testing
capacity
on
these
calls
with
the
White
House
and
the
governor's
office.
They
are
working
around
the
clock
to
try
and
increase
this.
But
again
we
know
we
don't
have
enough
supplies
and
enough
of
resources.
Hence
the
reason
we
all
need
to
work
hard
and
do
our
part
to
slow
the
spread
so
I
take
it
away
absolutely
so.
B
This
is
a
variety
for
us
and
we
want
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible
about
what's
going
on
in
Evanston.
In
regards
to
our
coronavirus
efforts,
this
particular
community.
We
had
two
confirmed
cases
of
the
corona
virus
and
when
we
got
the
news,
what
we
did
was
spring
into
action.
We
reached
out
to
our
partners,
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Health
and,
of
course,
the
state
epidemiologist
and
one
of
the
doctors
who
specializes
in
infectious
disease
to
craft
a
response
to
what's
going
on
what
happened
at
one
of
our
facilities
here
in
Evanston.
B
So
when
we
gathered
as
much
information
as
possible
from
from
the
experts
we
consulted
with
administrators
and
what
we
did
was
what
we
call
contact,
tracing
and
also
disease
pattern
strategies
to
determine
people
who
might
have
potential
bein
exposed
to
these
two
individuals.
When
that
was
determined,
we
sprang
into
action
to
coronate
with
our
local
hospital
for
testing.
What
we
want
to
do
is
to
identify
those
who
present
severe
symptoms
or
symptoms
that
are
indicative
of
the
corona
virus,
so
that
it
can
be
tested
and
once
tested.
B
That
would
give
us
a
picture
of
whether
they
have
the
virus
and
whether
they
do
not
have
the
virus
so
that
we
can
implement
public
health
strategies
and
public
health
responses,
so
that
people
can
be
isolated
from
those
who
aren't
sick
so
that
those
individuals
can
be
monitored.
So
that's
our
response
and
I
want
to
give
a
big
thanks
to
the
state
who
has
helped
us
in
this
regard
and,
of
course,
our
hospitals
who
helped
us
in
this
regard.
When
it
comes
to
testing
I,
agree.
A
I
agree
like
the
state
has
been
to
a
terrific
partner.
The
county,
Cook
County
has
been
a
terrific
partner,
so
question
for
you.
If
I
am
a
student
at
Northwestern
or
I
am
a
senior
that
lives
in
one
of
our
senior
facilities
in
someone
on
my
you
know,
in
my
residence
hall
or
in
my
wing
or
in
my
entire
facility
of
a
senior
living
community,
develops
Kovan
19
and
they
are
either
self
isolating
in
that
facility
or
if
there
really
have
severe
complications
are
at
the
hospital.
B
That's
not
that
the
guidelines
from
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Health
there
are
certain
criteria
for
testing
one
being.
If
an
individual
develops
symptoms,
indicative
of
coronavirus,
that's
one
criteria,
another
criteria
is
if,
for
some
reason,
this
individual
has
some
symptoms
that
are
kind
of
unexplained,
for
example,
an
unexplained
pneumonia.
Then
the
clinician
will
determine
if
a
test
is
necessary
and
in
most
cases
they
do
and
I
hope
they
do,
and
another
case
would
be
people
who
are
returning
from
areas
where
there's
been
high
corona
viral
activities.
B
Level
three
is
actually
the
highest
at
CDC
has
designated
those
individuals
qualified
for
testing,
and
another
criteria
is,
of
course
those
who
are
living
in
congregate
settings
because
of
the
population,
then
being
in
a
high-risk
setting,
so
to
speak.
These
individuals
will
also
qualify
for
for
testing
so.
A
I
want
everybody,
that's
watching
this
at
home
to
know
that
per
the
public
health
authorities
and
the
guidelines
they
are
doing
contact
tracing
it's
a
whole
survey.
There
are
questions
that
they
ask
and
everything
else,
and
that
is
happening
here
in
our
city
and
it's
based
on
that
survey-
that
they
decide
whether
a
test
will
be
run
or
not,
and
you
may
say
you
know
what
a
test
should
be
run
for
everybody.
I
would
agree.
A
That
would
be
a
beautiful
situation,
but
we
are
in
a
situation
right
now
where
we
do
not
have
the
testing
capacity
to
test
everybody
in
that
floor.
If
you
had
somebody
there,
you
should
be
taking
and
and
adhering
to
all
the
guidelines.
We
all
should
be
that
the
CDC
has
put
out
about
social,
distancing,
okay,
good
hygiene,
that's
what's
going
to
keep
you
safe.
A
Astons,
but
not
everybody
in
the
facility
is
going
to
be
tested
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
that
now,
once
somebody
has
let's
say
been
in
the
hot
in
the
hospital:
let's
say
they
had
severe
complications
Ike
and
they
were
in
the
hospital.
But
now
they've
recovered
and
they're
ready
to
go
home.
Take
us
through.
B
When
they
are
ready
to
go
home,
an
isolation
place
will
have
to
be
prepared
for
these
individuals
and,
of
course,
the
people
who
are
taking
care
of
these
individual
we'll
have
to
wear
adequate
PPE.
What
people
eat
stands
for
is
protective
personal
equipment
that
individuals
will
have
to
wear
so
they
don't
contract
the
virus
and
that
will
include
masks
that
include
goggles,
gloves
and
gowns
to
receive
that
individual
and
also
provide
that
individual
with
the
care
that
an
individual.
A
Thank
You
Ike
I,
just
want
to
remind
everybody
to
80%
of
the
people
that
will
contract
covet.
19
will
have
mild
to
moderate
symptoms
is
what
we're
told
by
the
medical
professionals
and
it's
20%
that
will
have
more
severe
complications.
It's
not
20%
that
need
to
be
hospitalized.
I,
think
the
statistic
that
I
last
saw
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
I
quiz
about
5%,
but
what
we
know
is
the
capacity
of
our
hospitals.
A
If
all
5
percent
you
know
that
needed
hospital
care
needed
it
today,
it
would
overwhelm
our
system
and
our
hospitals
would
have
to
make
incredibly
difficult
choices
about
who
gets
care
and
who
doesn't
get
care
again.
I,
that's
the
reason
why
we
need
to
flatten
the
curve,
stop
the
spread
and
all
do
our
part
again
to
make
sure
that
all
of
us
are
safe.
A
I
am
in
regular
communication
with
our
state
representative,
our
state
senator
our
US
Congresswoman
and
our
US
senators,
and
they
are
working
hard
to
pass
federal
aid
that
will
get
down
to
our
businesses
to
help
them.
But
again
it's
not
going
to
be
it's
not
going
to
make
any
of
us
whole.
Ok,
this
is
again
as
I
mentioned
before
it,
in
effect
everybody,
but
not
necessarily
everybody.
A
Equally,
the
pain
will
be
felt
more
by
some
than
there's
and
that's
one
reason
why
we
all
have
to
come
together,
but
in
terms
of
things
that
are
being
done,
I
can
tell
you
that
the
City
Council
took
action
the
other
night
to
waive
business
registration
fees
for
2020.
They
eliminated
non-payment,
penalties
for
the
liquor
tax
and
amusement
tax
for
the
next
60
days
to
try
to
provide
some
some
relief.
The
City
Council
also
took
action
and
will
now
allow
carry
out
liquor
along
with
food
items
from
restaurants.
A
Here
the
federal
and
state
level
assistance
programs
which
there
are
and
they're
coming
online
are
listed
on
the
city's
kovat
19
web
page,
which
you
can
find
at
the
city
of
Evanston
org,
/co,
vyd
19.
One
of
those
programs
is
a
Small
Business
Administration
disaster
loan
program.
It's
an
economic
injury
program.
It
is
a
loan
program,
but
I
will
tell
you
to
those
small
businesses.
A
I
am
lobbying
to
have
some
sort
of
cancellation
or
forgiveness
clause
placed
into
those
programs.
Things
are
moving
really
really
quickly,
we'll
see
again.
This
is
going
to
take
years
for
us
to
recover
as
a
community
and
a
country
I
believe.
But
people
are
working
hard
to
do
that.
I
will
also
say
our
economic
development
team
is
working
with
businesses
to
see
how
we
can
best
support
you.
A
So
I
formed
a
host
of
different
work
groups
in
the
community,
and
so
the
business
work
group
is
being
headed
up
by
Roger
Sousa,
our
executive
director
of
the
Evanston
Chamber
of
Commerce,
along
with
Paul's
amla
Zach,
and
many
many
other
business
leaders,
I,
think
they're
setting
up
a
whole
bunch
of
sub
units.
So
if
you're
a
business
owner
in
your
just
didn't
get
involved
in
that,
please
reach
out
to
Roger
Sosa
at
the
Evanston
Chamber.
A
The
next
question
we
got
was
from
Cathy
about
grocery
stores
and
asking
if
they
could
start
to
implement
special
senior
hours.
I
know
several
grocery
stores
have
started
to
do
that.
Cathy
Jewell
has
been
one
as
well
as
as
Whole
Foods,
and
it's
a
great
suggestion
that
you
have
and
we're
starting
to
see
this
around
the
country.
So
real,
quick
if
you're,
watching
this
and
you're
curious
about
which
stores
those
are
those
our
target-
has
senior
shopping
hours
on
Wednesdays
from
7:00
a.m.
to
9:00
a.m.
Whole.
A
Foods
has
it
from,
and
this
is
for
seniors
or
those
that
have
compromised
immune
systems.
Okay
or
an
underlying
health
condition.
You
can
go
to
Whole
Foods
daily
between
8:00
and
9:00
a.m.
and
then
jewel-osco
has
their
senior
hours
or
those
that
have
underlying
health
conditions.
They
have
it
from
Tuesday.
They
have
it
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays
from
7
a.m.
to
9
a.m.
now.
Some
of
you
might
be
asking,
and
why
is
it
so
early?
Why
is
it
later
in
the
day?
A
And
the
rationale
is
because
it's
overnight
where
they
do
a
really
thorough
cleaning
of
the
grocery
stores
and
so
they've
set
early
hours
for
our
most
at-risk
population
to
go
there
so
I
think
that's
a
wonderful
question
Kathy
and
it's
nice
to
see
our
local
grocery
stores
doing
that
next
question
was
from
Diane.
Can
the
city
suspend
parking
meter
payments
in
street
sweeping
violations
during
this
time
to
ease
the
financial
burdens?
We've
gotten
a
lot
of
those
kind
of
questions
Diane.
A
We
still
have
to
clean
our
streets
because
we
have
to
keep
our
sewers
flowing
and
prevent
flooding.
So,
behind
the
scenes
we're
having
to
put
a
contingency
plan
in
place
just
like
many
businesses
are
for
how
we
are
how
we
operate
in
keeping
those
the
the
sewer
system
running
is
critical
and
that's
why
we
have
to
do
the
street
the
street
sweeping
the
last
thing
we
want.
A
You
know
in
addition
to
a
pandemic
is
all
of
our
basements
flooding
because
we
haven't
cleaned
the
streets,
so
there's
there's
a
real
reason
for
our
infrastructure
and
something
else
that's
so
important.
I
had
somebody
else,
email
me,
the
others.
They
said
well,
hey,
I'm,
concerned
that
our
garbage,
you
know,
workers
are
having
to
pick
up
the
trash
and
maybe
there's
some
remnants
of
the
disease
there.
We
should
stop
that
again.
It's
a
critical,
essential
service.
A
I
do
want
you'll,
be
happy
with
this
news,
so
street
cleaning
violations
will
not
be
issued
through
April
12th,
so
we
are
taking
a
break
on
that.
No
one
should
be
getting
a
ticket
there
unless,
unless
and
I've
seen
this
from
the
city
minute,
unless
there's
some
egregious
violation,
if
you're
doing
something
that
is
totally
agreed,
just
you
know,
you've
decided
to
park
and
then
leave
your
car
right
in
front
of
a
fire.
Hydrant
you're
still
going
to
get
a
ticket.
The
city
will
not
be
doing
any
vehicle
in
mobilizations
for
the
next
60
days.
A
Okay,
so
and
then,
lastly,
all
non-payment.
Penalties
for
parking
tickets
will
be
waived
for
the
next
60
days.
Again
we're
trying
to
look
for
ways
and
I
know
the
council
is
working
hard
to
see
if
there's
other
ways.
So
if
you
have
suggestions,
please
let
your
alderman
know
what
is
being
done
to
help
our
homeless.
Is
this
question
from
from
Mary
from
Mary
Beth?
A
So
let's
put
this
into
into
two
categories:
the
first
category
is,
we
have
our
homeless
prior
to
you
know.
Cocoa
vat19
and
this
community
had
really
done
a
lot
to
try
and
support
them
best.
We
could,
with
overnight
shelters
the
overnight
shelter
and
then
and
that's
offered
by
interfaith
action,
and
then
we
have
connections
for
the
homeless
and
they're
held
this
place
and
everything
those
are
congregate
centers.
So
people
are
pretty
close
to
one
another.
A
I'm,
sorry,
it's
been
a
long
week
and
it's
going
to
be
a
long
a
long
time
for
all
of
us,
so
I
need
to
pause
for
a
second.
So
what
happened?
Is
they
made
the
prudent
decision
that
they
thought
and
I
think
so
too,
that
it
would
be
safer
to
end
the
overnight
shelter
early?
It
was
supposed
to
end
on
March
31st
to
end
it
early
so
that
they
that
all
of
our
homeless
weren't
together
it
wasn't
because
anybody
had,
then
you
know
confirmed
at
Kovac,
but
they
took
that
as
a
precautionary
measure.
A
So
a
lot
of
people
have
written
said:
hey
we
got
to
do
something:
we've
got
it.
We've
got
to
help
those
folks
and
I
and
I
agree
and
I
get
it.
We
also,
though,
you
need
to
focus
on
the
folks
that
develop
covin
19
and
they
have
confirmed
cases
and
they
need
to
isolate
and
they
need
to
self
isolate
and
the
folks
that
we're
most
concerned
about
in
that
situation
are
our
homeless.
A
And
so
we
need
to
come
up
with
a
solution
there
if
they
develop
covin
19
and
how
we're
gonna
help
them
self,
isolate
away
from
others
and
then
to
develop
a
solution
for
others
that
have
to
self
isolate.
Maybe
you
live,
you
know,
there's
five
of
you
and
you
live
in
a
800
square
foot
apartment
with
one
bathroom,
that's
problematic.
So
if
we
can
come
up
with
a
housing
solution
for
that
one
person,
so
we
are
working
with
the
county.
A
There's
a
state
task
force
out
of
the
Illinois
Emergency
Management
Agency,
folks
that
the
EOC
are
starting
to
work
on
this
and
that
is
to
find
places,
hotel
rooms,
to
the
extent
that
the
hotels
are
still
open
and
again,
there's
not
much
business
for
those
hotels,
so
they're
having
to
let
go
of
a
lot
of
their
workers
but
find
hotel
rooms
where
we
could
place
people.
Okay
is
one
solution.
Apartments
that
may
be
unoccupied
is
another
solution.
A
Residence
halls
that
may
be
unoccupied
is
another
solution,
so
we
have
a
team
of
people
and
we're
going
to
be
growing.
That
team
run
through
our
National
Incident
Management
System,
okay,
as
a
special
team,
that's
going
to
be
working
on
that
I
will
tell
you
just
from
my
experience
of
working
with
communities
for
decades
now.
Housing
is
the
biggest
and
most
complex
and
most
challenging
issue,
and
it's
not
going
to
be
any
different.
It's
not
going
to
be
any
different
here.
A
A
What
can
you
do
to
help?
You
know
protect
them
and
if
they
do
develop
it
and
they
happen
to
live
at
a
senior
facility
center?
Developing
a
plan
now,
for
what
can
we
do
is?
Can
I
bring
them
to
my
house
if
I'm
nearby
and
can
they
you
know
be
in
the
basement
or
can
they
be?
You
know
if
I
have
an
extra
bedroom
somewhere?
Can
they
be
there?
We're
all
going
to
have
to
problem-solve
and
I
need
everybody
to
step
up
and
try
to
problem-solve
and
not
just
say
hey.
This
is
somebody
else's
problem.
A
A
B
We
created
a
website
where
we
provide
information
relating
to
Kovac
19
there.
We
provide
information
in
regards
to
how
many
people
tested
positive
at
the
end
of
yesterday
and
to
be
transparent.
We
have
10
confirmed
cases.
So
if
you
have
any
questions,
you
can
always
go
to
our
website
at
www.ardexamericas.com.
B
B
With
the
virus,
there
still
a
lot
to
be
learnt
about
it.
The
recommendations
going
forward
and
I
know
this
is
really
really
related
to
steam
shower
in
or
steaming
clothing.
But
the
recommendation
from
CDC
and
IDPH
is
to
clean
and
disinfect
surfaces.
A
household
detergent
or
a
household
substance
can
actually
do
the
work
and
that's
what
we
are
encouraging
people
people
to
do
and,
like
I
said,
that's
just
a
lot
to
be
learnt
about
about
this
virus.
It's
viral,
and
you
know
how
long
it
remains
on
surfaces
and
what-have-you.
A
B
The
evidence
doesn't
suggest
that
the
virus
is
transmitted
through
smoke.
The
virus
is
transmitted
through
respiratory
droplets
when
you're
in
close
proximity
with
individuals,
and
that's
why
we
are
always
preaching
social
distance.
A
CDC
recommends
a
six
feet:
distance
from
individuals,
that's
enough
distance,
so
that
you
do
not
get
those
those
droplets
they
can
be
transmitted
and
cause
the
disease.
Okay,.
A
You
like
for
that
one
we've
got
one
from
I,
think
it's
maja
who
says
and
I'll
take
this
one.
Why
not
shut
down
Northwestern?
There
are
many
cases
there,
so
I
can
mention
there.
We
have
10
cases
confirmed
cases
so
far,
and
that
was
as
of
yesterday
in
Phi
of
those
cases,
our
northwestern
either
students
or
faculty
or
staff
I
believe
and
so
a
good
question.
So
I
talked
to
the
senior
vice
president
at
Northwestern
yesterday,
and
we
talked
about
this
subject
and
I
wanted
to
give
everybody
to
sort
of
an
update
on.
A
What's
going
on
at
Northwestern
we
have
500
or
so
students
that
could
not
go
home,
so
they
are
still
living
in
the
residence
halls.
The
support
staff
for
those
students
and
that's
limited,
because
there's
only
500
of
them
are
still
there.
Okay
again
practicing
social
distancing
and
everything
else
at
the
CDC
is
telling
us
to
do
so.
They're
still
there,
the
principal
investigators
who
are
overseeing
really
big
research
projects.
It
is
up
to
those
those
principal
investigators
whether
they
are
having
to
shut
down
their
research
or
not.
This
is
really
complex,
research
and
very
scientific.
A
A
lot
of
it
that's
going
on
over
there
and
not
easily
shut
down.
I
also
learned
that
Northwestern
some
of
those
principal
investigators
who
are
these
pH,
really
smart,
PhD
people
that
we
have
at
Northwestern
right,
transferring
some
of
their
research
and
moving
over
to
kovat
19
research
to
do
work
to
help
you
know
develop.
You
know,
cures
for
this
vaccines
for
this
whatnot
they're
going
to
be.
This
is
an
all-hands-on-deck
situation
and
we're
gonna
see
that
across
across
the
city
and
across
the
country.
A
So
that's
what's
going
on
with
some
of
those,
so
you
have
get
some
of
those
staff
that
are
there
and
then
similar
to
the
city.
There's
some
essential
functions
at
north
Northwestern.
They
have
their
own
power
plant
that
those
need
to
continue
to
run
so
those
staff
are
there,
but
they
have
a
significantly
significantly
reduced
their
workforce.
I
will
also
say
that
organizations
like
the
city
and
I'm
sure
Northwestern
have
sort
of
safety
officers
in
place
who
are
also
trying
to
enforce
and
make
sure
that
people
are
respecting
social
distancing.
B
That's
a
that's
a
very
good
question,
so
there's
a
term
called
community
spread
and
they
call
it
community
spread
because
individuals
who've
been
infected,
can't
particularly
pinpoint
when
they've
been
infected.
So
in
order
for
one
to
fully
know
when
an
individual
has
been
infected,
you
have
to
know
where
you
got
infected,
which
is
very,
very
hard
to
calculate.
I
can
tell
you
what
the
incubation
period
for
this
virus
is
14
days,
and
that
is
what
we
are
recommending.
B
So
when
you
start
to
experience
symptoms
that
are
indicative
of
the
corona
virus
and
the
symptoms,
of
course,
or
shortness
of
breath,
coughing
and
fever.
Once
you
start
experiencing
these
symptoms,
the
recommendation
is
for
you
to
call
your
doctor,
and
once
you
call
your
doctor,
you
look
at
dr..
Koop
calls
you
in
he
will
do
an
examination
and
through
that
innovative
evaluation
or
examination,
he
will
tell
you
and
provide
some
advice
to
you
and
in
most
cases,
what's
advised
is
for
you
to
you
know:
stay
home,
isolate
yourself
onto
the
results.
A
Like
the
symptoms
of
this
virus
are
standard
right
across
people,
and
so
when
you
mentioned
the
COFF,
what
I
had
read
and
seen
and
again
I
would
advise
anybody.
That's
watching
this.
If
you're
like
I,
wonder
what
all
those
symptoms
are
go
to
the
Center
for
Disease
Control
coronavirus
website,
and
they
will
have
information,
they
have
great
information
out
there,
but
that
it
was
a
dry
cough.
It
wasn't
a
cougher
year,
you
know
sort
of
coughing
up.
We've
all
had
that
kind
of
kind
of
flu.
A
The
last
thing
I
would
say
is
during
this
time
we're
all
still
going
to
get
the
normal
colds.
Okay
and
you
can
still
get
the
flu
and
all
the
other
things
that
we
get
I'm
asking
everybody
to.
Please
use
your
good
judgement
on
when
you
need
medical
care
again,
we
are
trying
to
flatten
the
curve.
I
am
very
concerned
all
people
throughout
the
system.
The
presidents
of
our
hospitals
are
concerned
about
caring
for
those
that
get
kovat
19.
A
So
when
you
got
that
regular
cold
pick
up
some
cold
medicine
at
the
pharmacy
and
and
try
to
try
to
work
it
out
at
home,
but
always
call
ahead
to
the
medical
professionals
to
tell
them
and
talk
to
somebody
there.
Okay
question
just
came
in
from
Karen:
either
any
kovat
19
patients
patients
in
Evanston.
Yes,
there
are
Karen
and
or
are
they
in
isolation
elsewhere?
So
we
have
a
couple
different
situations.
A
We
have
people
here
in
Evanston
that
have
kovat
19
and
they
had
you
know
some
pretty
bad
complications
of
it
and
they're
in
the
hospital.
We
have
other
people
that
have
had
it.
I
would
say
this
is
the
majority
of
people
sort
of
following
the
data
that
you're
seeing
out
there
who
have
been
confirmed
to
have
it
and
they
are
self
isolating
okay
in
their
home
away
from
their
family
away
from
their
family
members
and
then
because
of
the
work
of
Ike
in
his
entire
health
team.
A
They
have
identified
other
people
who
have
been
in
close
enough
proximity
to
people
to
confirm
cases
where
they
have
been
told
they
need
to
self
isolate
and
everybody's
been
cooperative.
We
haven't
had
anybody,
that's
like
I'm,
not
going
to
self
isolate
I'm
gonna
go
out
there
and
walk
around
close
to
other
people
we
haven't
had
any
of
that.
I
would
hope
and
never
expect
that
we
would
have
that
and
anything
to
add
to
that
one
like
you.
B
Know
I
think
I
think
you've
said
it
all.
You've
definitely
said
it
all.
So
in
cases
life
is.
We
definitely
not
run
across
any
issues
where
someone
has
refused
isolation
and,
like
you
said,
I
mean
there
are
two
segments
to
it.
I
mean
there
are
some
people
who
will
develop
complications
due
to
coronavirus.
Those
individuals
can
be
hospitalized
where
they
are
receiving
care.
Then
there's
some
people,
of
course
who,
after
examination
they
don't
have
severe
complications
to
the
disease
where
they
can
actually
go
home
and
isolate
so
you're
right.
A
Those
words
you're
right
mayor,
let
me
just
say
on
that.
On
that
note,
you
know
we
are
making
choices
in
this
community.
All
leaders
are
throughout
this
entire
country
that
lies
somewhere
between
bad
and
less
than
bad
and
we're
trying
to
make
less
than
bad
decisions,
but
that's
debatable
okay
and
will
be
debated,
but
we
all
just
need
to
pull
together
through
this.
Here's
a
question
like
how
are
we
working
to
get
PPEs
PPEs,
our
personal
protective
equipment?
B
Absolutely
so
we
continue
to
work
with
the
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Health
to
secure
PPE
for
our
first
responders
and
those
who
need
it.
Just
in
the
beginning
of
the
week,
we
received
a
package
of
a
fraction
of
our
supplies
and
we're
hoping
that
by
next
week,
we'll
get
another
package
and
the
focus
now,
of
course,
for
the
PPE
s
our
first
responders.
In
order
for
them
to
carry
on
activities
in
a
community,
they
need
PPEs.
And
of
course
there
are
a
number
of
organizations
as
well
we'll
be
needing
ppes.
For
example,
long-term
care
facilities.
B
I
understand
that
there
are,
they
are
running
low
on
peopie's
Dobin,
even
people
ease
in
order
to
carry
out
activities
and
to
take
care
of
the
individuals
at
their
facilities.
So
we're
working
hand-in-hand
with
the
state
to
procure
and
secure
these
D
supplies,
because
it
is
very
vital
in
reducing
the
transmission
rate
of.
A
Will
add
again-
and
this
is
if
you're
following
this
closely
in
the
news
or
maybe
you're
not
because
you've
had
enough
have
enough
of
this.
There
is
a
shortage
of
supplies.
Ok
across
the
board,
the
face
mask
the
gloves,
all
all
of
that,
so
we
are
in
a
situation
where
hard
decisions
are
being
made
about.
A
You
know
how
we
ration
that
and
who
it's
provided
to
would
I
would
say
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
every
day
that
the
president
and
his
task
force
have
a
conference
call
I
know:
governor
Pritzker
has
his
at
2:30
every
day,
but
at
the
president's
conference
call
yesterday
he's
a
news
conference
yesterday.
He
said
that
he
was
going
to
enact
the
wartime
production
act
and
so
for
people
at
home
to
understand
what
this
is.
This
means,
basically,
the
president
now
can
commandeer
and
order
and
direct.
A
You
know
certain
manufacturers
to
start
to
produce
things
that
we
need.
So
that
gets
to
the
second
part
of
what
you
asked
Sarah,
which
was
about
ventilators.
Okay
and
again,
we
have
ventilators
at
the
hospitals
here
in
Evanston.
But
again
we
are
worried
if
too
many
people
show
up
at
the
hospital
needing
that
we
don't.
We
don't
have
enough.
So
one
of
the
things
is
they're
going
to
try
and
produce
more
ventilators,
but
all
of
this
means
slowing
the
spread
and
flattening
the
curve
and
the
work
that
all
of
us
have
to
do.
A
To
do
that,
I
will
tell
you
it
is
going
to
get
worse
before
it
gets
better.
We've
seen
that
from
all
the
other
countries
you
look
at
that
data
and
how
it's
exponentially
increasing
okay.
So
these
efforts
now
that
we're
taking
is
to
is
to
to
help
us
and
protect
us.
You
know
what
two
weeks
three
weeks,
four
weeks
from
now
to
hopefully
see
that
start
to
see
some
some
result
there
and
start
to
see
a
little
bending
of
that
of
that
curve.
A
B
B
These
are
non-pharmaceutical
interventions
that
you
can
employ
in
order
to
prevent
getting
this
dis
virus
and
they
range
from
hand
hygiene
to
not
touching
your
face
to
coffin
into
a
tissue
and
discarding
a
tissue
and
avoiding
crowds
and
social
distancing
is
very
important,
and
another
important
factor
is
to
stay
home
when
you
are
sick.
Okay,.
B
That's
that's
a
good
question.
We
are
not
suggesting
that
people
shouldn't
walk
outside.
What
we
are
recommending
is
to
avoid
crowds
where
social
distancing
can't
be
achieved.
We
want
you
to
be
very
cognizant
of
this
and
very
mindful
of
where
you
go
and
not
saga'
aggragate
in
areas
where
there
might
be
potential
exposure
because
you
can't
be
within.
You
know
six
feet
in
a
minute
future
of
an
individual
sorry.
So
this
is
what
we
are
recommending
going
forward
to
practice
social
distancing
to
avoid
crowds
for
older
adults
with
complications.
B
A
So
I
can
walk
outside,
but
I
should
make
sure
that
I'm
complying
with
the
CDC
guidance
of
you
know
staying
six
feet
away
from
my
walking
partner
from
out
there
walking
with
my
my
friend,
okay
I,
know,
there's
a
lot
of
questions
and
I
have
a
lot
a
lot
more
here.
We
are
in
the
midst
of
an
emergency
and
our
public
health
director
and
I
need
to
to
get
to
the
next
to
the
next
meeting
on
this.
But
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
tuning
in
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
questions.
A
I
also
want
to
say
that
we
are
at
a
different
time
right
now,
where
we
are
operating
on
sort
of
emergency
time.
So
we
are
constantly
prioritizing
items
here
in
the
community
and
I
know:
there's
lots
more
questions
out
there,
we'll
try
and
continue
to
have
these
types
of
sessions.
I've
actually
asked
our
public
information
officer
to
get
a
couple
of
our
doctors
from
North
Shore
Hospital,
our
health
system.
A
That
would
come
on
this
next
time
and
share
with
you
and
answer
some
of
the
medical
questions
that
I
know
people
have
and
some
of
them
that
I
wasn't
we
weren't
able
to
get
to
due
to
time
today.
So
again,
if
we
all
band
together,
you
know
we
can.
We
can
start
to
bend
the
curve
and
and
start
to
to
get
back
to
the
lives
we
all
we
all
had.
You
know
two
weeks
ago
or
three
weeks
ago
it
may
be
a
new
normal,
but
we'll
get
there.
