Place order remains in effect. Now the governor gavin newsom. Remarkable, remarkable spirit and remarkable number of individuals that stepped and you happen are willing to step in to meet covid19 head on. Those that may have retired or soon to get their license, check out the website and contribute your time in a compensated manner. Were getting a lot of questions at this moment about masks. Not just m95 masks, not just surgical masks, not just masks for our front line employees and particular Healthcare Professionals and people that are in the Grocery Stores wondering in they should have a mask. People walking the streets, walking dog, going to do essential business in the state of california wondering if its appropriate for them or advisable for them to have face coverings. Parts of the world moving to advance. We have a team considering guidance in this space to make recommendations whether or not we think this is appropriate but let me caution on this topic, a number of things, we are in real need of traditionally well, surgical masks and these m95 masks. Were out there sourcing them from all around the globe. We have contributed some 32. 4 million m95 masks to date. 32. 4million m94 masks but weve ordered over 100 million of the masks. We need 100 plus million m95 masks to meet the need within the Healthcare Delivery system. The concern we have when we talks about face coverings is they run to get the m95 or surgical masks, of which were procuring tens of millions of surgical masks at the same time. So we want to be cautious in this space and guided by science and ill say this respectfully, science is a bit incomplete in this space. A lot of people are promoting vase coverings and masks and others caution its not a institute for physical distancing, which it is not. It could create a sense that it is and may reduce the protocols effectively so far here in the state of california. But know that we are looking to put out guidance on this and well put out our recommendations and the principle obligation we have to continue our physical distancing and social distancing to wash our hands and if were putting face coverings on, well lay out guidelines in specific turns and what it means and doesnt mean and we want people putting on coverings and moving them and not washing hands and creating additional issues and people getting the wronged of impression that somehow now theyre absolutely immune from contracting the virus and the like. I know this is becoming a major issue across the United States and putting out guidelines people feel like youre not necessarily capable of doing that in a short cue. The appropriateness of having these masks or a version of face covering. We reck nice that anxiety and we want to meet that in terms of recommending specific strategies and expect in the next 24 hours the state of california will put out more prescriptive guidelines in that space. We have 5. 3 million californiaens 65 years and older. Weve been doing some remarkable things at the local level to check in on our seniors making sure theyre getting reeducations and prescriptions but we need to step thingings up significantly and were announcing here today, a statewide initiative. Working with our partners at the aarp, working with our partners, alzheimers, American Lung association, kanger association, Heart Association and local partners and cert teams part of Mutual Aid Program traditionally utilized in preparation for wild fire seasons. Our Listos Program we rolled out a few months ago and were reconstituting those programs and building capacity and partnership to significantly increase our connectivity to our seniors to check in not just for wellness checks related to food and medicine. But the deep anxiety people are feeling being isolated at home and the loneliness people are feeling at home. Weve connected on that platform shy of 8 million individuals and we have to go deeper and we have to do more. We have to do it in a way that not only just checks in on someone but be able to deliver someone on the back endnotes a meal or medical supplies and thats why weve created a hot line for people across the state that will guide them to more subsubstantiative needs and that site has a following number. 833 5442374. 833 5442374. That hot line will allow individuals to be able to get questions they may have answered in ways they can individually participate in helping support this moment in the spirit of civic contributions, in the spirit of the commonwealth and the spirit that defines this moment and were all bound as dr. King said by a web of mutuality. We partnered with 211 system, our 211 system is an incredible system in the state of california that connects people to Real Services in realtime so if a loved one or neighbor or stranger is in need, and they need something more than just nice words and just a check in but need specific services, weve partnered now with 211 to provide those services at the local level all throughout the state of california. Im going have a representative here in a moment from 211 speak more about through robust system and what it provides it. Is a real opportunity for californiaens to check in on the most vulnerable californiaens and do so in a way that onlily californiaens can. The spirit, sense of pride that we all have at this moment but lets do so in a way thats meaning and feel substantive and i want to ask richard to come up that runs the 211 system here in sacramento to talk about the substance behind what that call center and those three numbers, 211 truly represent and will represent to potentially millions of californiaens if we avail and take advantage of that system. Thank you, governor and thank you to your teams also for the leadership that youre providing in these unprecedented times. Im the local operator of 211 sacramento and 211 is really a three different dial that makes it easy for our Community Members to get at the local level and our call centers staffed 365 days a year 24 hours a day. Theres trained professionals on the line able to assist you and getting you to most fundamental needs and together we can Work Together as a community to Start Building those resources and those data bases to ensure that the Community Members are getting access to services. Our call specialists are all trained in helping provide guidance and determine what those unmet needs are. The 211s are operated by local nonprofits and were excited to be part of this program with the state and we look forward to serving everybody soon. Thank you, richard. Check in on the neighbors and check in on loved ones. People ask what more can i do . Activate this civic conversation and this resolve in realtime in the spirit that says spirit of real contribution to help meet this moment and thank our entire team for putting together this comprehensive and increase the obligation for the seniors on the increase in california. The updated numbers on the state related to positives, 6, 932 and number of deaths tragically 150 in the state of california. The number of hospital lives with covid19 and the number of people in icus 1, 617 people currently hospitalized with covid19 and we have 657 individuals that are in the icu. Those numbers represent 17 increase in the total number of positives in the state. Number of hospitalized represent 13 increase over yesterday and a 10 increase in the number of icu patients in the state yesterday. I should know if you roll a five day average again we have seen doubling the number of people hospitalized in the last five days and more than triple the number of people in the icus and reinforcing the preparation in meeting this moment in terms of the preparation, i mention the incredible response yesterday. Again, 25,000 people strong through healthcare. Ca. Gov and licensed individuals. These are people filled out forms with the specific license number and were triaging every single one and looking at geographic moments and we recognize in california were many parts but one body in different parts of the state we have different needs and looking at geographic disbursement that are willing to participate in making sure that we are appropriating our Surge Capacity from a bottom up perspective. Thank you for the 25 million contributions for stipends for the same individuals with accommodations and hotels and closer to patients for transportation and child care. Many need them at this moment. Contributing to the ongoing support will provide for a salary perspective and not a volunteer effort at health core. Ca. Gov and its fully reimbursed beyond the stipends provided by the private sector and we in the state continued to do more to find respaire raters respirators and ventilators and the number of ventilators, 4, 252. 2,000 of those being purchased through our department of General Services from overseas from china. The rest in hand. With that, with i have a cal out to get another five plus thousand ventilators. Our goal is about ten thousand ventilators and stockpile and we request out from all across the globe. One of the most spectacular responses and i dont say that lightly or without consideration because i dont want to express hyperbole. I cannot impress upon you more how pleased i was to get a call back from virgin orbit. These are the folks that make rocket engines and launching systems and theyre here in the state of california down in southern part of the state and in long beach area and they met the call and now already in action prototyping respirators that are not as new answered nuanced and theyre less complex and can meet the moment more readily available and theyre bringing up a prototype in the next 48 hours here at the state Operation Center and theyre already running additional prototypes to help not just the state of california but potentially help other tarts of the country. I say that because they deserve credit for being willing to re prioritize their production efforts down there and look at meeting us where we need most support and thats through the ventilator side of the procurement. Thank you to virgin orbit, thank you to their team down there. Its again part of ingenuity and the entrepreneurial spirit thats the best of california and that was shown by bloom energy that converted all the 150 plus ventilators down from the National Stockpile down in la county. Take into account that we have more we can do. Stepping up in ways that really do justice and makes the great state what it is today. Thats census. We have to fill out those census forms. Many of you are at home appropriately. Fill out the forms. Send the census forms in tomorrow. Thats about representation and appropriately getting supported from the federal government and making sure that our state gets its fair share and we dont get that unless you fill out the forms. The protocols have changed since covid19 but that doesnt mean were not going to be aggressive in sourcing as much as we can in eromosele its of peoples contribution. I will make forgive me, one additional final point. I signed an executive order that we referred to as on the bus executive order. Dont mean to confuse people except saying it had a lot in it. One thing in it its very important to Small Businesses, thats a 90 day extension. If youre a Small Business person, you have a 90 day extense on paying sales taxes to the state. We have license extensions, fee extenses part of the package as a former Small Business person myself, i hope this comes as welcome news. We continue to want to do more on commercial evictions, we now have eight counties and a number of local cities that have done moratorium and more on that when were ready to announce. But Small Businesses are in our heart and mind. We continue to do more and ilozyme speak before i open it up to questions, we had a Record Number of people filing for Unemployment Insurance and over 150,000. Over 106 million californiaens. We recognize well have to do more to meet this moment for employees and employers and and process this moment and get through it and get this economy back and growing as it was just a few months ago. Happy now to take any questions. Californias large purchasing power there to work for disadvantaged states and today the governor of new york, andrew cuomo said its like e bay with the state and essentially bidding one another out. To what extent is that a concern that californias purchasing power is coming at the extent of other states and do you see a solution in a more centralized barrel and california releases some equipment to other states that are in a dire need . Yeah, not only a week ago did we express concern about this. We did something about it and reached out to governor jay inslee and connect procurement teams together and were go and working together and governor murphy and i a few weeks back had a similar conversation and youre starting to see partnerships at the gub material level and state level and we have purchase order for 101 million and 95 masks that i hope puts our purchasing power in perspective. Its capable of committing ourselves to all states can and were also working with our fema regional director who happens to live here and happens to spend disproportionate amount of time here at the operations senter and were very sober about conversations about what other states need as it relates to even whats coming from the National Stockpile and making sure that none of us are being greedy at that moment and we had the capacity and moved things around. Thats the spirit to answer your question that were bringing to this conversation and debate and the purchaser of incredible capacity and we want to help other states even as large as illinois and Washington State and some of the largest states in the nation to see if we can help procure not only a reduction in costs per unit but also procure a mindset where were not in a margin of zero sum and its us versus them. Listening to california governor gavin newsom, a brief of whats happening with the coronavirus in our state. Talking about medical equipment there but, make, you started with a call for all californiaens to get connected to the californiaens 65 and older. Its above the age of 65 and about connectivity and the state working with agencies, one you know aarp, American Lung association, american Heart Association but also put out a call to each and every one of us to call five people but maybe they need help with groceries or equipment and hearing hello from someone that knows them can help so much, mike. Great idea. Lets hope it spreads. When it comes to numbers, ventilators, state of california, the governor said theres 4200 and they want another five thousand statement during the crisis and he did with one company in southern california, virgin orbit making ventilators out of the skill. Are they going to be a perfect 10 ventilator . No, but 7 or 6 and something that the patient cans get the ventilators and we need more we started out mostly cloudy and portions of the north bay we may remain partly sunny and ill explain why here in just a moment.

Most of americas schools remain closed and more governors are starting to extend the closures till the next school year. This isnt easy to hear, we humans are built to want to work, to learn, to socialize. If we want to save lives, we must continue to distance ourselves.

Surgeon general jerome adams and feeling frustrated as many people are ignoring social distancing guidelines. Theres people on twitter putting themselves in a situation where they can be in the hospital and best way to not run out of ventilators is not to need so many people who need to get on ventilators in the first place. Many hospitals are struggling to get enough protective gear and equipment to effectively fight the coronavirus. The Surgeon General said following the distancing rule will help take the burden off hospitals. Theyre considering changing their guidelines to encourage poem to cover their faces. A recommendation is still being finalized. The post reports the guideline will stress the public leave the m95 and other masks for medical professionals that need them and the public advised to cover their mouths like a cloth mask you can make yourself. The Alameda County board of supervisors now considering a request from the sheriffs office. That request, they want 85 million more in additional funding.

Theyve shifted its focus to get cleaning products, disinfectants and other supplies to help fight the bat until front of all this. The stores is the command post. Its always a essential part of the community. I see a lot of people coming in to buy supplies to make ppe or personal protective equipment for hospitals and theyre donating their time and their money and its kind of overwhelming. For them to redo their model to help this effort by collecting supplies and ordering for different medical facilities is key. Resilient west portal grew from about a dozen volunteers to about a hundred in days.
