From YouTube: COVID-19 Update - 3/16/2020
Description
KC Mayor Quinton Lucas, Missouri Governor Mike Parson, and Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) Director Dr. Randall Williams give an update on the Coronavirus.
A
All
right,
good
morning,
everybody
I
wanted
to.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
being
here.
I.
Also
thank
governor
parson
for
his
leadership
with
us
and
he'll,
be
talking
to
you
in
just
a
moment.
I'm
also
joined
by
dr.
Randall
Williams,
who
has
been
outstanding
in
advocating
for
the
public
health
interests
of
the
people
of
Missouri,
a
few
things
all
know
if
they
don't
get
out
of
the
way
for
the
governor
one,
we
have
had
productive
conversations
frankly
with
his
staff
almost
daily,
since
this
crisis
began.
A
Last
evening,
the
governor
myself,
a
number
of
mayors
from
Missouri's
largest
cities,
talked
about
a
decent
number
of
issues.
Most
prominent
among
them
is
likely
the
50-person
limit
that
we
are
instituting
for
large
events.
That's
a
reduction,
at
least
in
Kansas
City
from
1,000
persons
down
to
50.
They've
also
talked
to
us
about
a
number
of
issues
relating
to
testing
resources
for
our
public
health,
public
safety
responders,
and
so
many
others.
A
few
things
I
want
to
know.
A
Situations
are
changing
fast
each
day
and
that's
why
it's
important
that
we've
had
cooperation,
not
just
among
Missouri
cities,
not
just
among
different
states.
Our
federal
government,
but
we
will
continue
to
have
conversations
as
time
goes
on.
There
are
some
people
who
ask
me
questions,
sometimes
that
include
this
question
of
well.
You
just
said
two
days
ago
this:
why
is
it
changed?
Well,
frankly,
we're
listening
to
the
science
we're
listening
to
our
medical
professionals.
I
know
the
governor
and
I
are
both
not
scientists.
That's
why
we
trust
people
like
dr.
Williams
and
dr.
A
Rex
Archer
here
in
Kansas,
City
I
will
note
one
other
fact
for
you.
This
morning
we
were
able
to
have
a
conversation
that
the
governor
was
Center
for,
and
we
appreciate
it.
The
police
chief
was
present
our
fire
chief
don
amaze,
our
director
of
neighborhoods
and
housing
services,
john
wood,
because
there's
lots
of
questions
relating
to
our
homeless
population,
and
so
many
others
and
our
director
of
EMS
services,
dr.
Erica,
Carney
talking
about
our
public
safety
response.
We
continue
to
be
in
contact
with
our
schools
and
businesses.
A
B
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
always
good
to
be
in
Kansas
City
we're
going
to
be
traveling
around
the
state,
the
next
couple
of
days
to
a
lot
of
the
cities
to
really
take
and
make
sure
we're
Communications
we're
doing
everything
from
the
state
level
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
the
mayors
and
the
communities
around
the
state.
B
That's
very
important
to
me,
especially
with
this
situation
that
none
of
us
has
ever
been
through
this
before
with
the
coronavirus
and
communications,
is
critical
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
the
same
page
and
decisions
we're
making
as
much
as
we
can
be,
and
then
that
we're
really
out
there
providing
the
services
we
need
for
the
people
of
state
of
Missouri
and
I.
Think
that's
important
for
me
to
be
out
as
governor
the
state
to
be
working
with
it.
B
An
update
he's
doing
for
the
governor's
every
week
that
we're
on
a
phone
call
with
him.
That's
a
lengthy
conversation
normally
about.
What's
going
on
on
the
federal
level.
The
other
thing
we
are
now
having
a
phone
call
to
Missouri
County
Commissioners
emergency
personnel,
mayor's
that
somewhere
over
a
thousand
each
Tuesday
when
we're
on
those
and
again
with
our
separate
meetings
to
have
the
number
one
issue
that
we
know
are
on
people's
minds.
B
Is
the
testing
process
of
that
that
we
think
there'll
be
some
significant
changes
to
that,
and
probably
the
next
couple
of
weeks
I
think
we
will
be
in
the
category
where
we
can
do
thousands
upon
thousands
of
tests
a
day
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I
think
it's
important
to
know
that
these
are
every
day
is
a
challenge,
some
to
a
certain
degree
of
what
happens
differently
and
we
have
to
adapt
to
that
every
day.
That's
why
the
communication
line
is
so
important.
B
Why
the
meetings
there
and
really
to
make
it
understand
it's
just
not
the
person
that
maybe
has
the
virus,
but
the
people
that's
going
to
be
affected
by
that
emergency
personnel,
EMTs
police
officers
and
all
the
people
that
could
be
affected
by
that
again.
I
think
those
are
priorities
of
ours
in
the
state
right
now.
Those
are
the
two
issues
we
hear
the
most
of
we're,
also
on
the
PPE
equipment
to
making
sure
we
get
that
out,
we'll
be
able
to
do
that.
That
was
part
of
the
executive
order.
B
B
I
did
last
week
that
frees
up
a
little
over
seven
million
dollars
that
we'll
have
access
to
in
the
state,
along
with
the
13
million
that
we
know
will
be
coming
from
the
federal
levels
to
be
able
to
utilize
that
to
help
with
the
local
levels
to
make
sure
that
gets
distributed
around
the
state,
I
think
it's
also
important
there.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
people
are
going
to
have
to
take
some
responsibility
on
their
own
governments,
not
going
to
be
able
to
fix
all
this.
B
So
the
good
news
for
the
time
being
is
I
think
helps
on
the
way
I
think
you're
gonna
be
able
to
see
a
lot
more
in
the
testing
side
of
it
that
it's
gonna
be
a
little
reassure
and
for
the
people
of
this
state,
I
think
you'll
also
see
see
mobile
testing
sites
that
will
be
coming
up
from
different
areas
around
the
state.
So
the
people
that
maybe
has
a
little
more
trouble
get
and
having
access
to
healthcare
that
we're
gonna
provide
that
be
able
to
have
that
screening
for
them
wherever
they
might
preside.
B
So
I
think
that's
something
important
with
that.
So
with
that
I
think
I'll
just
open
it
up
for
a
few
questions.
Dr.
Williams
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
we,
you
might
have
any
of
the
testing
portions
of
a
good
thing.
I'll,
give
you
a
little
update
on
the
state
level.
As
of
today
when
I
left
Jeff
City,
there
was
a
hundred
and
we've
done
170
tests
in
the
state.
At
this
point
there
has
been
six
positive.
There
was
one
that
come
in
early
this
morning
in
southwest
Missouri.
B
We
are
still
in
the
process
of
those
notifications
and
getting
that,
but
the
sixth,
now
that
176
have
tested
positive
at
this
point
that
will
do
that
or
presumptive
positive
I
guess
I'll
be
a
cure
for
all
that
dr.
Williams
clarify
that
we
still
have
some
presumptive
positive
going
through
CDC,
but
now
we
have
the
authority
to
call
them
positive
ourselves
in
state,
but
I
think
the
bottom
line
most
of
it's
going
to
be
positive.
The
six
will
be
positive
on
that.
So
with
that,
you
want
open
up
the
questions
to
Kelly.
D
B
At
this
point,
we
were
taking
the
recommendations
of
the
CDC,
the
CDC
have
exempted
schools,
higher
learning
facilities
and
businesses.
I
think
I
think
I.
Think
at
this
point.
What
we
did
yesterday
is.
We
are
recommending
that
no
more
than
50
people
be
together
at
a
facility.
Again,
it's
going
to
take
some
of
the
private
sectors.
Gonna
have
to
step
up
and
say:
are
they
gonna
follow
that
or
they
not?
But
it's
at
this
point,
it's
not
a
mandate.
It
is
a
recommendation.
I.
D
B
D
D
Statewide
we're
certainly
appreciative
of
the
mayor's
team
here
to
answer
your
question
directly
you're
going
to
see
a
fundamental
shift
in
our
response
here
from
travel
acquired
to
people
in
Missouri
and
to
do
that,
as
Tony
Fauci
said
yesterday,
so
often
times
of
challenge
in
the
United
States,
whether
it
was
World
War,
two,
our
industrial
might
comes
to
our
aid,
so
the
American
clinical
lab
associates
says
by
April
1st.
We
will
be
doing
280,000
tests
a
week
through
our
commercial
labs,
LabCorp
and
quest
and
others.
D
So
if
you
break
down
Missouri's
population
of
2
percent
of
the
country,
that's
almost
6,000
tests
a
week.
If
you
add
that
to
wash
you
going
online
on
Tuesday,
which
we
hope
they'll
get
up
to
speed
very
quickly
to
possibly
a
thousand
tests,
you
have
Lee's
Summit
doing
a
thousand
tests
today
in
the
University
of
Missouri.
D
Coming
up
that,
we
hope
by
April
1st,
to
shift
our
capability
to
have
the
test
to
test
all
Missourians
who
have
a
fever
over
100
point
four
and
a
cough,
and
we
will
move
that
out
to
local
mobile
testing
sites.
If
you
think
about
it,
once
we
get
through
flu
season,
there
isn't
a
really
good
reason
to
have
a
coughing,
a
fever
unless
it's
pneumonia,
and
so
we
won't.
D
Our
strategy
is
really
based
on
three
things
going
forward,
and
that
is
that,
if
you
have
a
cough
and
a
fever,
we
want
you
to
call
a
provider
and
let
us
know-
and
we
want
you
to
self
isolate
and
we
will
get
you
tested
and
we
think
that's
going
to
be
critical
to
keeping
us
ahead
of
code
19.
While
we
are
now
in
Missouri.
E
D
Again,
we
have
to
save
our
tests
in
the
next
two
weeks
for
those
who
are
most
critically
ill
for
the
state
lab.
We
have
the
most
stringent
criteria.
As
you
know,
for
commercial
labs.
They
don't
have
criteria,
that's
between
the
provider
and
the
patient,
but
I
have
to
remind
you
that
for
the
most
stringent
criteria,
Missouri-
and
these
are
people
who
the
provider
would
tell
you
I'm
almost
positive-
this
patient
has
coded
19.
D
C
B
Have
not
had
any
conversation
with
the
White
House
about
curfews.
At
this
point
we
will
be
talking
about
spreadin
later
today.
You
know
really
the
the
maintained
thing
when
we're
talking
the
conversation
between
me
and
the
vice
president
have
basically
been
one
on
the
testing
or
what
are
they
doing
the
national
level
get
the
product
out
and
what
are
they
going
to
be
doing
on
the
state
levels
to
help
us
financially
and
what
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
do
again?
B
C
You
discuss
a
little
bit
how
like
for
you,
how
have
you
grappled
with
you
know
I'm
sure,
you've
heard
from
business
owners
from
community
members
from
church
leaders
about
weighing
you
know
the
public
moving
on
and
keeping
business
going,
and
things
like
that
versus
you
know.
Having
to
Public
Safety,
tell
me
how
you've
grappled
with
those
things
yourself
is
the
governor.
Those.
B
Are
tough
decisions
you
know,
I'm
a
former
business
owner
and
I
know.
That's
gonna
have
an
effect
on
the
economy
when
you
charge
talking
about
these
things,
I
think
it's
important,
but
at
the
same
time
you're
gonna
need
grocery
stores
are
going
to
need
to
be
open.
Pharmacies
are
going
to
need
to
be
open.
You
know,
essentials
are
going
to
need
to
be
there
but
yeah.
B
It's
a
tough
decision
when
I
think
of
so
many
businesses
out
there,
whether
it
be
restaurants,
whether
it
be
the
entertainment
side,
whether
it
be
tourism,
it's
gonna
have
an
effect
but
again
I.
Think
the
public
safety
has
to
be
the
top
priority
here
of
everything,
and
you
know:
Missouri's
went
through
tough
times
before
we're
gonna
go
through
these
and
I
truly
believe
in
the
near
future.
We're
really
gonna
know
much
more
in
two
weeks
and
a
ten
to
two
weeks
that
we're
talking
about
we're
gonna,
know
much
more
about
that.
C
D
Have
the
capacity
in
our
state
lab
to
do
1600
a
week
now
we
have
the
capacity
with
out
of
Lee's
Summit
to
do
a
thousand
a
day.
Wash
U
has
the
capacity
to
do
50
a
day
starting
on
Tuesday
50,
but
that
will
ramp
up
very
quickly
and
all
they
were
waiting
or
at
4:00
was
a
positive
sample
to
run
their
controls
on
and
we
gave
that
to
them
and
they
immediately
got
going
the
next
day.
So
it's
very
much
a
cooperation
with
our
partners
and
then
with
LabCorp
and
quest
I.
D
Think
lab
course
said
that
they
would
have
would
be
doing
10,000
tests
today
by
this
Friday
and
20,000
tests
by
next
Friday
and
so
they're
part
of
that
280,000
a
week.
So
if
you
do
the
math
looking
at
lab
core
doing
20,000
tests
today
throughout
the
country,
I
would
say,
probably
at
this
very
moment
in
time
we
are
at
the
ability
to
do
at
least
in
order
of
more
than
a
thousand
a
day
in
Missouri.
D
Looking
at
all
all,
if
you
just
look
at
the
lab
and
Lee's
Summit
they're
doing
a
thousand
today
so
we're
again
as
we
transition
to
testing
everybody
in
Missouri,
who
has
a
fever
and
a
cough
it'll,
take
us
about
two
weeks
to
get
there,
but
at
this
very
moment
in
time
we
certainly
feel
like
we
have
enough
tests
to
cover
those
people
who
are
we're
most
concerned
about.
But
our
goal
is
to
move
out
that
to
get
everybody
as
early
as
they
might
present
identify
them
in
self,
isolate
them.
D
We
have
no,
we
just
the
labs,
came
off
at
three
o'clock
this
morning
again
we're
incredibly
fortunate
at
Bill
Whitmore
who's,
a
president-elect
of
the
American
Public
Health
lab
associates.
He
ran
his
team
last
night.
We
did
forty
three
tests
kind
of
under
unique
circumstances
and
they
came
off
at
three,
and
so
we
notified
that
county
and
about
four
thirty
in
the
morning.
I
think
and
we're
trying
to
follow
our
standard
operating
process,
which
is
that
they
go
out
and
talk
with
a
patient,
and
then
they
get
that
information
back
to
us.
B
You
know
they
are
top
priority
as
Public
Safety
and
hopefully,
as
you
go
through
the
news
cycles
that
you
do
your
part
to
make
sure
we're
getting
information
out
there
encouraging
people
to
do
things
when
it
comes
to.
You
know
whether
it's
self
quarantine,
whether
it's
limiting
the
cells
to
250
to
an
area
you
guys
can
have
a
lot
to
say
about
that.
Would
you
do
that?
I'd
ask
what
you
can
do
to
help
with
those
situations
that
you
do,
that
there's
lots
of
things.
B
G
A
What
we
have
so
far
and
we'll
be
issuing
today
is
an
amended
order
that
looks
to
our
large
event
ban,
which
was
1,000
before
we'll
be
dropping
that
250,
right
and
I
think
we've
seen
that
already
dr.
archer
myself
and
a
number
of
others
will
be
working
today
to
look
at
what
capacity
for
any
number
of
establishments
lounges
taverns
restaurants
should
be
what
I'm
saying
is
that
50
may
not
be
the
only
metric
by
which
we're
actually
evaluating
limits.
A
It
might
also
be
a
percentage
capacity
in
other
cities,
for
example,
you've
seen
capacity
requirements
and
restaurants
and
bars
go
down
to
50
percent
you've
seen
recommendations
of
down
to
one-quarter.
We
expect
to
be
in
a
position
to
issue
that
today,
so
necessarily
that
would
precede
Saint
Patrick's
Day.
We
would
love
to
have
all
the
information
possible
for
you
now,
but
we
expect
at
least
by
this
afternoon
to
be
able
to
share
that
with
you.
E
H
So
on
top
of
these
other
concerns,
people
need
to
be
taking
that
personal
responsibility
to
protect
themselves,
and
so
I
recommend
anybody
over
60
or
with
preconditions
to
not
be
out
in
these
venues
and,
if
you're
over
70-
and
you
have
these
conditions,
I'm
telling
you
as
the
medical
doctor
for
Kansas
City
Missouri,
that
you
should
avoid
these
situations.
It's
in
your
own
best
interest.
A
So
at
this
point
and
I'll
have
dr.
archer
speak
in
a
moment.
We
are
not
making
a
recommendation
as
to
schools,
and
there
are
a
number
of
different
reasons
in
connection
with
that,
as
we
noted
before.
Right
situations
may
change,
but
our
medical
advice
as
to
this
point
does
not
involve
a
massive
closure
of
schools.
Dr.
Archer,
if
you'd
liked
it.
H
So
the
science
is
different
with
influenza
than
with
this
coronavirus
with
influenza.
The
disease
spreads
through
schools
out
into
the
population
and
we
have
more
illness
problems
with
kids.
We're
seeing
very
few
kids
under
19
get
this
disease
at
all
and
they
apparently
are
not
shedding
the
virus
at
a
level
that
it's
very
contagious.
H
Teen
pregnancy
rates
often
go
up,
violence
can
go
up,
kids
aren't
then
learning
we
have
like
90
percent
of
our
kids
in
one
school
district
in
the
city
that
are
on
free
and
reduced
school
lunch
and
are
taking
backpacks
home
over
the
weekend.
Feeding
kids
is
important.
Folks
that
don't
have
access
to
childcare
now.
Are
they
going
to
take
off
work
to
watch
their
child
at
home,
or
are
we
going
to
end
up
shifting
those
kids
into
overcrowded
childcare
settings?
So
we
really
need
to
get
past.
H
What
I
would
almost
call
a
mass
hysteria
of
some
of
these
decisions
and
think
through
what
are
the
positives
and
negatives
of
this
now
each
school
district
can
independently
make
these
decisions.
We
have
asked
the
governor
and
se
to
be
thinking
about.
Let's
not
penalize
schools
for
dropping
in
attendance
and
the
other
part
is
any
parent
who
is
concerned
can
keep
their
kids
home.
So
you
already
voluntarily
have
a
way
to
protect
your
kids,
if
you're
concerned
about
this
without
closing
the
school
in
creating
hardships
for
everybody
else.
So
that's
my
position
right
now.
E
We've
got
schools
recommended
to
be
closed
in
Kansas,
but
not
in
Missouri.
Some
jurisdictions
are
shuttering
bars
and
restaurants
entirely.
Are
you
at
all
confused
that
the
patchwork
of
messages
from
local
authorities
and
authorities
across
the
country
might
be
confusing
people
as
to
what
they
should
be
doing
to
react
to
this
virus
short.
A
Answer
is
yes,
actually,
I.
Think
the
longer
answer
is
that's
why
we
have
opportunities
like
this
to
try
to
visit
with
you
a
few
things
that
actually
the
governor
noted
that
I
think
are
important
one.
We
listen
to
science,
we're
listening
to
recommendations
from
our
health
directors
and
others.
If
dr.
archers
advice
today
is
that
we
do
not
need
to
close
schools
in
Kansas
City
that
I'm
going
to
listen
to
it
and
not
substitute
just
either
crowds
Twitter
anything
else
to
give
me
some
form
of
direction.
A
If
that
changes,
then
I
think
our
recommendation
will
change
simple
as
that
I
think.
The
second
point
is
this:
we're
trying
to
make
sure,
while
we
balance
that
we
continue
to
support
the
functioning
of
our
society,
our
economy
etc.
In
our
meeting
earlier
today,
for
example,
we
have
the
director
of
neighborhoods
and
housing
services
in
the
meeting
with
the
governor
and
our
health.
It's
professional,
Zanetti
cetera,
there's
a
very
simple
reason
for
that.
It
is
because
we
have
incredible
impacts
to
our
homeless
population.
We
have
folks
that
are
going
out
of
work.
Now.
A
We've
had
a
number
of
businesses
in
Kansas
City
close
already
in
response
to
this
crisis.
We
understand
that
there
is
an
ongoing
challenge
in
connection
with
it.
So
every
step
that
we
take
is
one
that
is
going
to
be
based
upon
medical
professional
advice,
not
substituting
the
whims
of
either
crowds
or
our
own
viewpoints
in
those
given
situations.
Shutting
down
large
events
last
week
wasn't
just
that
we
looked
at
what
other
people
were
doing.
It
actually
was
based
on
scientific
advice.
A
The
fact
that
today
in
Kansas
City
folks
can
still
go
to
a
restaurant
with
ten
people
in
it
is
based
upon
our
scientific
advice
and
recommendations
in
connection
with
it
and
frankly,
we
try
to
communicate
as
much
as
possible
with
the
state
with
other
jurisdictions,
both
in
western
Missouri
and
Kansas,
and
our
federal
government
to
make
sure
that
we
can
be
as
consistent
as
possible.
But
I
will
say
this
somewhat
unabashedly.
A
Kansas
City
Missouri
will
take
the
best
advice
that
we
can
in
making
notifications
as
to
what
we
need
to
do
we're
the
first
community
in
this
region
to
create
a
threshold
at
the
number
of
50.
Today
we
will
evaluate
whether
we'd
like
to
look
at
capacity
limits
and
reduction
in
capacity
by
a
basis
of
percentage.
We
will
take
those
steps,
even
if
other
jurisdictions
do
not.
The
reason
we
will
take.
A
Those
steps
is
because
it's
based
on
solid
medical
and
scientific
advice
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that
throughout
this
crisis
and
to
the
extent
that
our
advice
may
shift
from
Monday
versus
what
you
heard
on
Saturday
or
even
last
week,
I
understand
there
is
some
concern.
A
week
and
a
half.
A
week
ago
we
were
going
to
have
a
big
12
tournament
played
in
Kansas
City.
That,
ultimately
did
not
happen.
This
is
a
fluid
situation.
We
understand
that
and
that's
why
we
will
try
to
take
as
many
opportunities
I
know.
Dr.
A
archer
does
this
as
well
to
speak
to
the
public
about
where
we
are
and
what
it's
based
on.
But
if
there's
someone
out
there,
who
has
a
question
about
why
we
do
what
we
do?
The
answer
is
a
very
simple
one:
it's
to
keep
the
community
safe
in
as
many
situations
as
possible
and
keeping
the
community
safe
means
listening
to
solid
sound
scientific
recommendations
and
instituting
those,
it
does
not
simply
mean
throwing
out
any
order
that
we've
seen
anywhere
in
the
world
or
in
our
country,
and
just
saying
everyone
must
live
with
it.
I
A
One
of
the
easiest
questions
I've
had
in
a
while,
so
absolutely
yes,
I'd,
be
willing
to
lobby
to
the
federal
government
on
direct
aid
to
make
up
for
lost
income.
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
take
more
concrete
steps.
I'll
say
this
first,
there
are
lots
of
people
who
have
already
been
impacted
by
the
spread
of
this
pandemic,
and
lots
of
people
have
been
impacted
in
Kansas
City.
As
a
result
of
it,
I've
talked
to
workers
who
have
lost
jobs.
I've
talked
to
business
owners
who
have
elected
to
shudder.
A
Their
businesses
and
I'll
say
this
as
something
that's
even
more
important.
Some
of
them
will
be
able
to
bounce
back
for
some
of
us.
If
we
took
six
weeks
off
even
as
mayor
Wright
we'd
come
back,
we'd
have
our
job.
That
sort
of
thing
there
are
other
businesses
that
it
will
not
be
that
easy.
There
are
families
that
will
have
to
make
very
difficult
choices
about
what
bills
to
pay,
and
that
is
something
that
weighs
on
all
of
us
before
these
decisions
are
made.
A
My
office
has
worked
throughout
the
weekend
and
the
last
week,
or
so
to
try
to
make
sure
we're
addressing
those,
and
that
will
be
finding
budget
space,
including
in
this
next
year's
budget,
which
is
to
be
voted
on
exceedingly
soon
in
connection
with
finding
that
level
of
funding
support.
That's
one
another
thing
that
we
will
continue
to
do
with
our
lobbying
teams.
In
Jefferson,
City
is
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
can
actually
avoid
areas
like
preemption
on
getting
a
citywide
policy
on
sick
leave.
A
For
folks,
we
think
that's
going
to
be
vital
and,
frankly,
we
think
it's
a
time
that
we
get
past
kind
of
political
divisions
and
how
we're
looking
to
support
the
welfare
of
people
in
our
city,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
another
important
step
and
then,
finally,
there
is
this.
Miss
kite
noted
it
I
do
think
it's
important
for
us
to
support
local
businesses.
A
I
think
we
see
more
advice
from
folks
that
suggest,
to
the
extent
we
do
that
we
do
want
to
make
sure
we
maintain
social
distancing,
that's
something
that
I've
looked
to
maintain
throughout
this
crisis,
one
that
I've
done
over
the
past
days.
That's
something
I'll
continue
to
do,
but
to
the
extent
you're
ordering
out
to
the
extent
that
you're
doing
any
other
type
of
business,
making
sure
that
you're
supporting
local,
the
folks
that
need
to
survive.
Well,
it's
interesting
to
all
stand
in
the
line
for
toilet
paper
at
Costco.
A
I
A
Yes,
I
will
note
so
the
short
answer
is
yes
longer
answer,
for
that
is.
We
will
need
to
find
ways
to
better
deploy
it.
We
will
need
to
find
ways
to
make
sure
we
can
find
that
funding
frankly
as
soon
as
possible,
and
and
frankly,
you
have
to
find
a
way
to
actually
be
fair,
as
you
distribute
it,
there
are
other
markets
in
the
country
that
have
been
able
to
do
so,
thus
far.
That's
something
we're
looking
to
evaluate
as
well.
A
Right
now,
there
are
a
few
different
tools
that
local
government
often
uses
one
that
I
don't
think
is
broad
enough
to
help
people
that
you
often
see
relates
to
tax
breaks
or
extension
of
certain
tax
due
dates.
That's
an
option.
I
think
there
are
other
options,
such
as
either
the
waiver
in
a
fair
way
of
fees
and
licensing
fees,
etc.
A
That
folks
are
being
asked
to
pay,
that's
something
that
we
can
evaluate,
we'll
have
to
adhere,
as
we
do
so
to
the
Hancock
amendment
in
Missouri,
etc,
and
so
that's
the
sort
of
thing
we're
looking
to
evaluate
yet
I
will
note.
We
have
not
finalized
what
that
looks
like
yet,
but
that's
something
that
we're
trying
to
explore.
City
communications.
J
C
A
Is
there
not
a
requirement
for
hand
sanitizer
at
the
airport,
like
you
know
what
I
will
admit
to
not
having
full
knowledge
of
that
I
understand
that
the
Aviation
Department
has
shared
with
us
that
they
have
increased
their
cleaning
their
soap
and
water
available.
There
is
hand
sanitizer
available,
I
guess
the
question
gets
to
the
fact
that
why
don't
we
make
every
person
who
gets
off
a
plane,
immediately
hand,
sanitized,
I,
think,
frankly,
the
Aviation
Department
much
like
our
Health
Department
of
any
others,
is
looking
to
advise
of
our
federal
partners.
G
A
So
a
few
different
areas,
one
and
we
have
departments
that
work
with
it,
both
a
Health,
Department
and
regulated
industries.
There
are
a
number
of
penalties
that
increase
as
they
crescendo
for
ordinance
violations.
We
would
use
the
same
types
of
penalties
we
use
in
regulated
industries
for
those
who
are
letting
in
minors,
without
minors,
I
guess
generally
or
those
who
exceed
their
occupancy
limits
already,
and
so
that
includes
both
financial
penalties,
eventually,
revocation
of
licensure
and
frankly,
other
penalties
and
suspensions
as
time
goes
on,
coming
up
with
penalties
for
those
who
don't
follow.
A
City
codes
and
ordinances
is
actually
something
we
do
have
some
level
of
experience
with.
We
would
look
to
be
doing
so
in
instituting
that,
frankly,
immediately
upon
passage
of
any
orders
etc.
For
those
who
actually
do
consistently
create
sort
of
concern
are
not
following.
Would
you
have
the
ability
to
bar
the
doors
of
certain
events,
certain
venues
etc?
So,
if
somebody
tomorrow
says
to
hell
with
all
of
them,
I'm
gonna
have
the
world's
biggest
st.
Patrick's
Day
celebration
come
to
my
whatever
establishment.
A
C
A
We're
able
to
send
in
regulators,
under
the
authority
of
the
city,
usually
through
regulated
industries,
to
make
sure
that
they
are
adhering
to
proper
numbers.
If
we
issue
an
order
as
to
distancing,
then
we
would
be
able
to
do
that
as
well.
That's
just
a
function
of
having
our
workforce
go
out
and
do
that
and
I
think
our
regulated
industries
Department
understands
that
at
this
time
a
resource
shift
in
connection
with
that
is
something
that
they'll
be
deputized
to
do.
Michael.
H
So
there
is
not
a
restriction
on
the
availability
of
tests.
I
want
to
make
that
clear
right
now.
If
they
meet
the
requirements
for
CDC
screening,
we
can
get
those
submitted.
We
actually
ran
a
sample
up
a
couple
of
nights
ago,
where
we
drove
it
up
to
the
state
lab
in
the
evening.
The
number
that
we're
testing
I'd
have
to
get
back
with
my
staff
to
see,
because
we
have
some
submitted
over
the
weekend,
so
I
don't
have
that
most
current
number.
H
The
important
number
is
that
there
have
been
zero
positives
at
this
point,
so
I
want
to
emphasize
that
there's
zero
positives
at
this
point.
Do
I
believe
that
there
are
some
folks
and
I
say
some,
not
a
lot
that
probably
have
the
virus
out
in
the
community
right
now.
Yes,
that's
why,
hopefully
on
April
1,
when
we
can
open
this
up
and
do
other
types
of
screening
we'll
be
able
to
move
that
forward.
H
H
You
know
when
you,
when
you
heard
the
State
Health
Department
a
director
talking
about
a
hundred
and
seventy
tests
that
have
been
done:
six
positives
of
the
highest
risk
population.
So
three
point
five
percent:
when
we
opened
this
up,
the
chances
of
it
going
up
in
percentage
is
very
unlikely.
It's
going
to
actually
drop.
We
may
actually
have
to
test
a
thousand
people
to
get
a
positive
sample,
so
we'll
we'll
see
how
this
outbreak
evolves
right.
H
The
other
thing
that
kind
of
following
up
on
the
other
question
the
manager
of
that
facility
is
the
one
that's
responsible
for
meeting
all
the
different
codes
and
regulations
for
that
facility
to
stay
open,
so
whether
it's
meeting
fire
code,
the
health
codes
in
regards
to
preparation
of
food,
all
the
different
things
are
on
that
manager
of
that
facility,
and
if
they
violate
that,
yes,
we
can
pull
and
we'll
pull
their
permits
and
licenses.
If
they're
not
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing.
A
So
we
were
gonna
go
ahead
and
have
that
conclude
our
questions
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
a
few
things
that
we're
doing
today
to
continue
our
work
with
this
later
this
afternoon,
myself,
dr.
archer
and
city
leadership,
will
be
meeting
with
our
hospital
executives
throughout
the
community
to
make
sure
that
we're
up
to
date
on
our
response,
including
looking
at
resources
ranging
from
ventilators
and
icy
use
bility
to
handle
more
patients
over
the
weeks
and
months
ahead.
A
I
have
been
in
communication
with
some
of
our
hospital
directors
who
have
noted
some
of
the
economic
impact
on
them
as
well,
you're,
seeing
a
decline
in
elective
surgeries
and
other
procedures
at
hospitals.
What
that
means
is
that,
of
course,
revenues
that
usually
come
in
on
the
positive
side
to
them
are
diminishing.
That's
going
to
be
another
economic
factor
in
connection
with
this
over
the
months
ahead.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
every
part
of
Kansas
City
government
is
being
consistent.
I'll
make
this
one
other
point,
because
we
did
receive
a
question
relating
to
the
economic
impact
upon
a
number
of
communities,
particularly
communities
that
struggle.
We
recognize
that
this
will
ultimately
and
can
ultimately
have
an
impact
on
our
homeless
population,
those
in
public
housing.
Those
who
rely
on
public
resources,
the
Public
Library
itself,
is
closing
for
a
measure
of
time.
A
Those
decisions
aren't
taken
lightly.
We
understand
that
for
a
number
of
people,
that's
where
one
gets
food,
that's
where
one
spends
a
good
portion
of
their
days,
and
we
also
need
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
have
lots
of
folks
in
our
shelters
that
we're
looking
at
bed
space
in
our
community
centers
as
well,
and
so
frankly,
this
is
something
that
we're
looking
to
work
through.
This
is
a
fluid
situation.
A
We
understand
that
money,
that
resources
are
going
to
be
a
part
of
it
throughout
all
of
this
we're
using
science,
our
medical
channels
to
help
give
us
recommendations
of
how
we
can
best
treat
this
challenge
in
our
community.
So
with
that,
we'll
give
you
further
updates
as
they're
warranted
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
tongue.
