A
Our
Director
of
Public
Health,
dr.
Rex
Archer,
our
director
of
emergency
medical
services,
dr.
Erica
Kearney,
our
city
manager,
acting
city
manager,
Ernest
rouse
and
our
Fire
Chief
Don,
amaze,
a
few
things
to
note
and
I
guess
to
just
lead.
We've
announced
a
ban
on
all
events
of
1,000
persons
or
more.
Those
are
large
events,
and
those
are
events
we
note
that
this
morning
we
caught
as
well
that
there
are
three
additional
cases
of
corona
virus
in
the
metropolitan
area.
Dr.
A
archer
will
spend
some
time
talking
about
the
importance
of
social
distancing
between
folks
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
seeing
spread
and
communication
of
the
disease
between
folks
and
some
close
proximity
and
I'll
note
a
few
things,
because
we've
already
received
questions
relating
to
it.
Where
does
this
apply?
This
applies
to
events.
The
airport
is
still
open.
A
Schools
that
have
1,000
persons
or
more
are
still
open,
but
the
types
of
events
that
we're
looking
to
prohibit,
and
indeed
that
we're
banning
today
are
those
of
1,000
persons
are
more
and
within
one
space
that
would
include
functions
like
Planet
Comicon.
That
would
include
sporting
events
that
would
include
musicals,
theater
performances,
etc.
This
will
run
for
a
period
of
21
days
at
the
end
of
which
we're
slightly
before
the
end
of
that
time.
We'll
look
to
reevaluate,
we'll
see
the
nature
of
trends
both
in
Kansas
City
and
nationally
in
connection
with.
A
What's
going
on,
we've
also
announced
today
at
City
Hall,
a
ban
on
all
non-essential
travel,
domestic
or
international
for
city
employees.
Our
goal
is
to
continue
to
try
to
contain.
We
have
been
in
many
ways
fortunate
so
far
in
Kansas
City
Missouri,
but
that
does
not
suggest
that
we
don't
need
to
continue
to
implement
prevention
measures
and
to
try
to
take
key
and
important
steps
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
out
for
the
public
health
of
our
entire
region,
a
few
other
notes
and
then
I'll,
get
out
of
the
way
for
dr.
A
Archer
I've,
been
in
conversation
with
several
superintendents
of
schools
this
morning.
This
is
not
an
announcement
as
it
relates
to
what
schools
or
electing
to
do.
They
continue
to
go
through
their
own
evaluative
process
is
in
the
best
interest
of
their
school
buildings
and
their
school
districts
and
I
know
they're
talking
to
each
other,
particularly
the
school
districts
in
Kansas,
City
Missouri,
all
14
in
connection
with
what
is
the
best
approach
for
all
of
them,
largely
in
a
unified
manner.
So
that's
one
thing
that's
of
importance.
A
Another
thing
I
want
to
note
is
this:
there
are
some
who
will
be
angry
about
any
number
of
things
that
will
be
closed
over
the
next
several
weeks
or
perhaps
longer
trust
me.
We
are
in
the
business
of
collecting
tax
revenues
and
that
sort
of
thing,
so
we
don't
come
to
these
decisions
lightly,
but
we
understand
that
it's
vital
that
we
take
an
important
leadership
position
on
prevention,
even
though
our
city
has
not
seen
the
same
flare-ups
that
you've
seen
in
places
like
Seattle
and
Westchester,
County,
New,
York,
etc.
A
We
think
it's
important
that
we
try
to
make
sure
we
avoid
those
problems.
We
think
the
steps
that
we're
taking
today
will,
by
important
time
for
our
public
health
public
safety
infrastructure.
We
think
that
it
would
allow
us
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
be
prepared
for
any
challenges
in
the
future
and,
frankly,
we
think
this
is
necessary
to
keep
our
community
safe.
A
Everything
we've
said
before
continues
right,
if
you're
persons
in
at-risk
groups,
if
you're
some
who
have
been
subject
to
illnesses
before,
if
you're
folks,
who
have
an
older
age,
we
continue
to
encourage
you
to
take
as
many
steps
as
necessary
to
protect
yourself
and
importantly,
and
something
I
said
the
other
day.
If
you're
somebody
who
is
not
in
one
of
those
groups,
it's
important
that
you
follow
many
of
the
guidelines
that
we've
announced
today,
making
sure
you're
following
good
hygiene,
social,
distancing,
etc.
A
B
Thank
You
mayor,
so
the
actions
that
we're
taking
today
are
a
small
part
of
how
you
stop
these
types
of
outbreaks.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
there's
a
huge
amount
of
personal
responsibility,
as
mentioned
stopping
handshakes
not
even
doing
fist
bumps,
because
you
can
still
see
bacteria
and
viruses
transmitted
that
way,
we're
even
moving
a
little
bit
away
from
the
elbow
bump,
because
that's
actually,
where
we're
telling
people
to
be
sneezing
so
think
about.
You
know
just
greeting
people
with
a
hand
over
the
heart
or
the
namaste.
B
B
You
need
to
be
thinking
seriously
about.
Would
you
even
be
in
a
room
like
this
right
now,
once
we
start
seeing
person-to-person
transmission
in
the
Kansas
City
metro
area,
we
wouldn't
have
a
meeting
like
this.
We
wouldn't
have
you
in
this
close
together.
When
we
had
meeting
at
the
chamber,
we
started
separating
things
out,
dr.
Curran
and
I
will
kind
of
demonstrate.
You
need
to
be
far
enough
apart,
that
you
can't
touch
hands
and
there's
some
space
in
between.
B
So
if
we're
queuing
up
in
lines
for
whatever
it
might
be
elections
or
anything
else,
keeping
some
distance
is
important
right
now,
which
are
over
70,
and
you
have
any
of
these
pre-existing
conditions.
I'm,
basically
telling
you
as
a
city
physician,
you
really
need
to
be
careful
about
this,
don't
go
to
conference
rooms
or
that
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
thousand
person
event.
It
can
be
25
people
in
a
room
of
this
size.
That
is
starting
to
put
you
at
risk.
Also,
we
are
working
with
our
nursing
homes.
B
C
Thank
You
mayor
and
dr.
Archer,
what
we
would
like
to
emphasize
is
that
the
best
form
of
defense
that
we
have
against
a
virus
is
prevention.
Social
distancing
is
the
best
thing
that
we
can
do.
As
of
this
time,
no
cure
exists
for
certain
viruses.
The
best
thing
that
we
can
do
is
be
preventative,
and
this
so
I
agree
with
what
the
mayor
and
both
dr.
Archer
have
stated
this
morning
for
existing
healthcare
infrastructures.
Now
is
the
time
to
be
prepared
and
have
those
conversations
if
you're
already
struggling
with
the
flu
and
RSV.
C
If
you
are
already
at
high
volume
or
high
capacity
start
discussing,
what
are
you
going
to
do
if
you
start
getting
kovat
patients
and
how
you
are
going
to
take
care
of
those
patients?
A
specific
example
of
agency
discussions
is
here
at
our
fire
department,
Fire
Chief,
Don
amaze,
who
is
already
having
the
discussions
on
how
this
will
affect
our
pre-hospital
personnel.
If
you
guys
do
have
any
specific
questions,
like
dr.
Archer
said
we
can
address
those
at
the
end
of
this.
A
We'll
get
to
questions
in
one
moment
a
few
things
that
I
also
wanted
to
make
sure
I
noted
and
then
we'll
get
to
our
questions.
One,
our
public
transit
systems
stay
open.
Both
ride
Casey
the
Casey
streetcar.
They
continue
to
remain
open.
Of
course
you
want
to
use
all
of
the
same
measures.
We've
talked
about
social
distancing,
good
hygiene,
etc.
A
I
know
both
the
streetcar
Authority
and
our
bus
system
are
cleaning
their
cars
often,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
do
that
as
I
noted
before
the
airport
remains
open,
and
so
you
needn't
call
to
check
from
them
in
connection
with
that,
we've
also
received
some
questions
from
private
businesses,
etc.
If
you
work
in
a
large
office
tower
in
excess
of
1,000
persons,
of
course,
this
order
doesn't
impact
them
unless,
of
course,
they
have
some
giant
event
on
the
ground
floor.
A
One
other
point
that
I
wanted
to
make
is
this:
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
are
concerned
that
are
scared
really.
What
we're
trying
to
do
now
is
have
an
important
preventative
step
and
that's
what
this
is
all
about:
we're
not
trying
to
be
alarmist.
We're
not
trying
to
concern
folks
what
we're
trying
to
say
is:
how
can
we
make
sure
that
we
don't
see
a
significant
impact
before
we
can
handle
it
here
in
Kansas,
City,
and
so
that's
why
we
believe
we're
looking
to
larger
events
1,000
or
more
that's.
A
Why
we're
looking
to
at
least
this
21-day
period
and
then
we'll
see
review?
There
may
be
some
questions
relating
to.
How
do
you
come
to
that
number
and
largely
what
we
wanted
to
say
was.
This
is
about
at
least
the
large
events
for
now,
if
it
becomes
necessary
that
we
need
to
look
at
numbers
at
a
lower
number,
500
250,
then
we'll
evaluate
that
at
the
time.
A
But
we
view
in
the
interest
of
public
safety
now
that
our
large
event
number
was
more
important
for
us
to
hit
and
to
address
a
lot
of
those
events,
particularly
given
the
number
of
people
that
travel
coming
in
to
some
of
the
bigger
events
that
we
might
see
in
our
community.
So
with
that,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
we
welcome
any
questions.
A
Know
yesterday
and
the
days
before
we
had
a
conversation
myself,
doctors,
Carney
dr.
Archer,
about
public
health
issues,
public
health
concerns,
I
think
we've
seen
a
lot
change,
even
in
the
last
24
hours,
we've
seen
more
health
departments
around
the
country,
more
orders
issued
for
mayors,
governors
etc.
Even
in
the
last
day
after
our
press
conference
at
7:00
a.m.
yesterday.
D
A
That
we're
not
certain
yet
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
full
parameters
of
what's
allowed
in
the
Charter
and
our
Code
of
Ordinances
were
clear
for
folks
I
think.
Frankly,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
give
some
good
guidance
as
well.
In
the
last
24
hours.
In
particular,
we've
received
lots
of
calls
from
organizations,
festivals,
businesses
parade
folks
schools
about
what
we
can
do.
What
will
happen?
What
we're
trying
to
say
now
is
at
least
for
the
next
21
days.
A
This
is
where
we're
seeing
activities
that
need
to
be
curtailed
to
the
extent
that
there
is
more
necessary.
We
certainly
will
evaluate
that
I've,
probably
seen
dr.
Archer
and
dr.
Carney
almost
every
day
it
feels
like
and
I
imagine
it
will
continue
to
be
that
long
term
I'll
make
one
other
note
the
city
manager
referenced
this
morning.
E
A
I've
actually
talked
to
a
few
pastors
already
since
this
time
as
well.
A
thousand
is
generally
larger
events.
It's
our
view
that
there
aren't
that
many
churches
that
usually
have
an
assembly
of
1000
people
are
more
in
the
morning,
but
this
does
speak
to
all
events
over
1000
persons,
and
so
some
of
this
will
continue
to
be,
as
the
doctor's
note,
self
responsibility
and
I
would
think
that
if
you
run
an
organization
frankly,
if
you
run
an
organization
outside
of
Kansas,
City
and
I
include
in
that
some
jurisdictions
that
themselves
have
large
arenas
and
stadiums.
A
I
think
it's
important
for
everyone
to
evaluate
whether
this
is
a
time
that
we
should
be
encouraging
large
events
which
we
would
discourage,
or
if
you
should
say,
perhaps
there
are
smaller
groups.
Maybe
this
isn't
the
time
for
our
bigger
events
are
bigger,
travel
events,
etc,
and
so
we
would
actually
think
that
this
order
that
technically
applies
to
only
so
many
folks.
Would
we
hope
more
people
actually
listen
to
the
spirit
of
it.
B
Most
of
the
best
public
health
experts
across
the
country
that
I've
been
in
contact
with
will
figure
that
we'll
probably
have
60
to
80
percent
of
the
population
in
this
country
that
will
become
infected
with
this
virus
at
some
point
over
the
next
two
years.
These
are
measures
to
slow
it
down,
to
make
sure
that
the
number
of
high-risk
folks
that
are
becoming
infected
and
I
want
to
remind
people
for
four
out
of
five
people.
B
This
is
an
illness
that
they
might
miss
a
few
days,
rest
at
home
and
heal
without
any
medical
care
at
all,
and
this
is
part
of
the
reason
of
this
decision.
Of
what
day
do
you
make
these
decisions
on
when
we
cancel
these
kinds
of
events?
We
have
a
large
population
in
this
city
that
are
paycheck-to-paycheck
that
are
having
trouble
making
their
rent
that
are
having
trouble
feeding
their
kids
and
if
they
can't
get
this
work
with
these
various
events,
we
have
other
health
consequences
of
these
decisions.
B
So
that's
why
we're
looking
at
this
for
only
21
days
to
kind
of
see
what
is
the
negative
effects
of
these
decisions
and
occurrences,
because
they
are
significant
also
and
we've
gotta
weigh
this
personal
responsibility
of
not
spreading.
This
disease
is
still
the
most
important
part.
Now,
let's
say
you
have
an
event
for
nine
hundred
folks,
but
most
of
those
are
going
to
be
high
risk.
You
should
be
doing
the
right
thing
and
not
having
that
event
anyway
and
we'll
be
looking
at
this
we'll
be
evaluating
it.
B
B
Based
on
what
Seattle
and
some
other
places
that
have
done,
some
modeling
of
this,
where
they
have
like
a
hundred
and
sixty
a
few
days
ago,
and
that
number
continues
to
change
of
presumptive
cases
that
are
being
confirmed,
they're
modeling
shows
that
if
they
have
a
hundred
and
sixty
of
those
cases,
they
probably
have
way
over
a
thousand
of
actual
cases
in
the
community.
So,
yes,
we
have
I
believe
cases
in
the
community.
B
Those
folks
in
most
cases,
don't
even
know
that
they're
ill
or
can
we
get
well
just
by
resting
at
home
and
again,
the
transmission
problem
for
folks
that
aren't
high
risk
is
not
a
serious
issue
right
now.
It's
the
high
risk
folks
that
we
have
to
protect
moratoriums
on
visiting
nursing
homes,
because
if
you
are
asymptomatic,
you
don't
know
you're
ill
and
you
take
coronavirus
into
a
nursing
home.
Look
at
all
the
deaths
that
we've
had
in
the
state
of
Washington.
Because
of
that.
So
this
is
a
slowing
down
social,
distancing
kinds
of
things.
B
B
Well,
you
know
it
all
it
all
trickles
down
or
doesn't
trickle
down
and
our
support
here
locally.
You
know:
I
get
38
cents
per
person
out
of
the
general
fund
from
the
state
of
Missouri
for
public
health
purposes.
Now
the
nine
point-
eight
eight
plus
million
that's
supposed
to
be
coming
to
the
state
of
Missouri.
This
will
help,
but
we
needed
this
five
years
ago
to
be
able
to
build
all
the
things
that
we
need
to
be
building.
We
are
building
the
landing
craft
after
we've
already
taken
off
right
now,.
B
Yes,
we
have
cases,
but
with
two
million
folks,
if
you
have
five
or
six
cases
or
ten
cases
or
20
cases
and
on
average
they're
only
going
to
infect
two
or
three
people,
that's
not
high
risk
for
folks,
it's
still
much
higher
that
you're
going
to
you
know
die
from
a
motor
vehicle
crash
in
the
city
or
other
things
that
we
aren't
reacting
in
quite
the
same
way.
So
that
can
change,
though,
if
you
have
a
doubling
of
cases
every
week
in
Seattle
and
the
state
of
Washington
is
talking
about.
B
D
B
Forward
to
adding
positions
of
what
we
call
disease
detectives
so
just
like,
if
you
have
homicides
and
you're
trying
to
close
a
homicide
case.
If
we
have
an
exposure
where
we
have
somebody,
that's
positive,
how
many
people
were
they
then
exposed
to,
and
then
we
have
to
work
to
find
out
who
those
are
figure
out,
what
their
risk
is.
Can
we
then
get
them
into
some
type
of
voluntary
quarantine
or
not
so
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
pieces
that
can
start
moving
up
very
quickly?
B
Our
folks
have
been
working
a
lot
of
overtime,
even
if
they're
not
in
overtime
eligible
positions,
to
manage
what
we're
doing
right
now
with
actually
zero
cases,
but
we're
monitoring
a
number
of
cases
and
those
are
expanding
right
now.
There
isn't
required
monitoring
for
a
lot
of
these
folks
that
are
coming
back
from
countries
that
have
high
risk
and
we
need
to
be
finding
ways
to
do
that.
We
don't
have
the
current
staffing
we're
trying
to
work
out
ways
to
support
all
of
our
universities
that
are
bringing
students
back.
B
We
have
folks
coming
back
from
other
universities
in
Boston
and
other
places
where
they're,
basically
closing
and
saying
it's
going
to
be
electronic
and
they're
closing
their
dorms,
so
those
students
that
may
have
been
exposed
are
coming
back
to
Kansas
City,
so
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
what
we
call
shoe-leather
epidemiology
work
that
we're
struggling
with
right
now.
There
will
be
positioned
relief
coming,
but
this
is
it's
not
new
to
public
health.
We
have
TB,
go
up,
we
get
positions,
we
bring
TB
down,
they
take
the
positions
away.
B
We
get
TB
back
up
we're
in
this
cycle
a
lot
of
times
and
we're
in
that
right
now,
but
I
have
a
good,
strong
team.
We
have
a
lot
of
commitment,
that's
part
of
why
we're
doing
these
resources,
but
I'm
a
I'm
as
much
or
more
worried.
How
are
we
going
to
feed
our
kids?
How
are
we
going
to
keep
our
eviction
rates
from
going
up
as
we're
dealing
with
these
issues?
Right
now,.
B
B
E
B
Been
talking
about
that,
we
are
in
literally
daily
contact
with
most
of
the
other
big
city,
health
departments,
the
other
29
of
us
that
are
part
of
the
big
city's
health
coalition
that
are
on
the
front
line
of
a
lot
of
this
activity.
Going
on
right
now
and
yes,
we
have
identified
the
potential
of
you
know,
does
the
state
or
do
we
need
to
secure
a
hotel
for
this
kind
of
work?
B
We've
had
unfortunate
situations
where,
as
an
example,
a
person
that
may
be
monitored
for
a
potential
exposure
and
then
they
have
a
family
member
that
has
an
immune
deficiency,
and
so
then
we've
got
to
deal
with
okay,
and
if
that
person
is
not
of
age,
then
how
are
we?
Are
we
going
to
be
separating
them
from
that
parent
and
so
we're
having
these
conversations?
Luckily,
we
haven't
had
to
actually
do
any
of
that,
but
we
may
have
to
I.
C
So
as
an
emergency
medicine,
physician
and
an
EMS
physician
here
in
the
region,
the
most
important
thing
that
we
can
do
to
help
us
be
ready
in
a
month
is
protect
our
911
services
and
protect
our
emergency
departments.
If
you
have
a
mild
illness
and
are
otherwise
healthy,
a
lot
of
this
can
be
done
at
home.
So
what
we
are
recommending
on
the
hospital
side
is
that
you
call
your
primary
care
physician
before
going
to
your
primary
care,
physicians
office.
So
the
biggest
thing
for
us.
What
dr.
C
Archie
was
talking
about
the
infrastructure
concerns
in
regards
to
ICU
beds,
ventilators
those
will
be
needed
for
at-risk
populations
order
than
60
heart
disease,
lung
disease.
So
if
you
are
younger
than
60
and
do
not
have
comorbidities
and
only
have
mild
symptoms
and
lieu
of
calling
911
cities
are
recommending,
is
that
you
call
your
primary
care
physician
and
instead
to
help
protect
those
resources
that
way
we
can
be
ready
in
a
month
or
so
sure.
E
C
Avoid
that
at
this
point
so
as
dr.
archer
had
mentioned,
you
can
have
the
virus
and
carry
the
virus
without
any
symptoms,
and
so,
if
you
have
a
legitimate
concern,
and/or
a
positive
test,
we
highly
recommend
that
you
do
not
expose
others,
because,
even
though
you
might
be
okay,
the
patient's
at
risk
in
the
higher
risk
populations
that
we
discuss
might
not
be
okay.
C
A
At
this
point,
no
there's
this
isn't
a
a
mass
quarantine
of
the
area
that
you've
seen
another
that
you've
seen
in
Italy
other
places.
Instead,
right
now,
I
think
we're
suggesting
that
there
is
heightened
risk
at
large
events.
That's
how
we've
seen
spread
happen
in
a
number
of
clusters
throughout
our
country
and
that's
the
reason
why
we're
announcing
these
protocols
today.
Yes,.
B
B
As
part
of
that,
double
message
that
you
were
talking
about,
we've
had
zero
cases
of
somebody
who
comes
back
imports
the
disease
here
and
has
spread
it
to
somebody
else.
We
probably
will
have
some
of
those.
We
have
zero
now
at
this
point
in
time,
so
overreacting
shutting
down
all
the
different
economy
issues.
B
Now,
if
you
are
a
teenager
in
a
home
with
a
bunch
of
high-risk
folks
that
maybe
you
shouldn't
be
out
in
some
of
these
venues
once
we
see
it
starting
to
take
off
more
in
the
community,
but
at
this
point
we're
not
seeing
that,
so
our
messages
will
be
changing.
Luckily,
we've
got
all
you
to
be
able
to
get
that
message
out.
I'm
surprised,
you
didn't
ask
about
sick
leave,
because
you
had
a
great
editorial
on
that
issue
and
I
published
something
a
couple
of
years
ago
about.
F
A
B
A
I
talked
to
representative
from
the
Kansas
City
Royals
yesterday,
as
I
understand
it,
they
have
formed
their
own
coronavirus
task
force.
Another
extensive
conversations
with
Major
League
Baseball.
That
I
think
will
impact
ultimate
decisions
being
made
I.
Think
much
like
we
saw
the
n-c-double-a
the
big
12
conversation
yesterday.
I
think
there
will
be
conversations
that
baseball
is
having
more
broadly
in
terms
of
the
question
for
22
days
from
now
I'm,
not
certain.
Yet
that's
why
we
that's
why
we
put
a
time
limit
on.
A
There
was
some
discussion
to
let
you
know
as
to
whether
do
we
want
to
make
this
indefinite
or
do
we
want
to
make
this
some
time
length
we
elected
to
go
with
a
timed
period,
because
we
wanted
to
say
to
those
events
that
are
coming
up
this
weekend
next
week
the
week
that
follows
you
should
not
have
your
event
in
Kansas,
City
I
think
we.
We
should
give
that
sort
of
direction
of
the
folks
that
are
using
Bartle
Hall
that
are
planning
to
go
to
Fiddler
on
the
Roof
anything
under
the
Sun.
F
A
Clearly,
organic
I
guess,
rallies
and
congregations
that
bring
people
together
will
be
a
little
bit
more
difficult
to
police,
but
fortunately
we
have
rules
of
permitting
in
Kansas
City.
We
know
when
most
conferences
are
coming
and
we
have
a
record
certainly
of
everybody.
That's
either
performing
at
the
Music
Hall
or
doing
an
event
at
Bartle
Hall,
because
those
are
city-owned
facilities,
and
so
this
is
more
of
a
directive
to
folks
to
say
that
we
aren't
allowing
them
and
in
terms
of
how
we
police
it.
C
A
What
protections
are
given
to
residents
who
are
living
paycheck
to
paycheck,
I?
Think
in
many
ways
what
dr.
Archer
mentioned.
Frankly,
what
we
try
to
do
each
day
in
local
government
to
make
sure
people
will
be
alright
is
is
what
we're
doing
in
this
situation.
Now.
That's
why
the
public
transportation
systems
still
going.
That's
why
you
see
us
continuing
to
invest
frankly
in
the
Health
Department
emergency
medical
services
as
well,
and
so
we
understand
that
there
will
be
an
economic
impact.
A
We
are
cognizant
of
that
and
the
interest
of
Public
Health
and
public
safety.
We
made
these
decisions,
but
we're
aware
the
fact
that
this
may
need
more
support
from
the
city
in
any
number
of
different
areas
and
will
look
to
that
as
we
proceed
not
just
over
the
next
several
weeks,
but
over
the
rest
of
the
year.
All.
A
And
the
good
doctor
notes
that
Congress
is
looking
at
those
relief
issues.
We
certainly
will
make
sure
the
local
government
level
we
address
them
as
well
and
we'll
talk
to
everybody
in
Jefferson
City
in
connection
with
it,
and
so
with
that
we
thank
you,
we'll
have
probably
more
opportunities
to
visit
and
appreciate
you
being
here.
Thanks.
