Shelter in place order. Specifically he will address reopening businesses and schools. The hope and expectation is we will be in a position in a number of weeks to make meaningful modifications but again the data will guide that and the indicators will guide that. That was the governor yesterday talking and earlier this month Governor Newsom did lay out the six part plan to bring california back to normal life. It included widespread coronavirus testing and protecting those at most risk. Today again expected to discuss redoing floorplans at schools, childcare facilities and businesses like restaurants and to still encourage social distancing. Here in the bay area six counties are extending their stayathome orders all the way through the end of next month, alameda, contra costa, marin, San Francisco, san mateo and santa clara, and official more detailed announcement will be made later this week. No date has been given but we know when the announcement takes place it will include easing restrictions on some quote lower risk activities. People in six of northern californias Rural Counties want Governor Newsom to let them reopen in a careful and phasedin manner but lets hear from the governor right now live in sacramento on reopening important parts of californias economy and getting life back to normal. There are six indicators that will drive our decisionmaking, politics will not drive it, protests will not drive our political Decision Making or political pressure, the science and the data and Public Health will drive decisionmaking. We set forth one week ago a deep dive on one particular indicator around testing and tracing, tracking, issues of isolation and quarantine. Today i want to update you on another indicator which is specific to businesses, schools and childcare facilities. First i want to remind all of you with the six indicators are. I mentioned testing is one of the principal indicators we have made Real Progress in that space, not nearly where we want to go and need to be that Real Progress that we are now seeing. Some 578,000 tests have been conducted in the state of california and we are averaging over 20,000 tests a day and we are well on our way to meeting our 25,000 testing goal and getting up to 60 or 80,000 shortly thereafter i mentioned the endtoend tests being deployed at 80 different locations primarily focused on Rural California and i can announce today that we are putting those into and tests in Sutter County and Shasta County as specific proof points of the movement within that space and all of those testing sites will be up and operational by monday. Also verily focused on expanding their testing with a socioeconomic lens, not just Rural California but innercity california so Real Progress. Yesterday we updated you as well on some of the efforts to train the workforce starting phase 1, 10,000 tracers throughout the state of california, partnerships that were forming in that space and Capacity Building that is also well underway. We talked broadly about the mos californians and how we protect people and congregate care facilities and snf and assisted living facilities, other adult and senior license facilities across the state of california we have well in excess of 8500 of these facilities, the snfs and thousands more home settings, as many as two or three people, some six or seven guys all throughout the state of california. We have updated you on a consistent basis about the efforts in that place and the sincere concerns we have, demonstrable concerns, we have on protecting our seniors and those facilities and we continue to focus on that above and beyond anything else as it relates to the data that comes every morning because of the vulnerability of those populations. Real strategies and real plans in that place, that give us confidence we are moving in the right direction. Accordingly we are doing the same for the Homeless Population which is another sensitive needs population that we have and as you know in advance a particular project room key in partnership with fema to provide 15,000 hotel rooms and we have already acquired 12,500 hotel rooms in that portfolio, thousands of individuals off the streets and out of congregant shelters into these isolated units and support onsite, particularly three meals a day being provided. This is among many, many different homeless strategies are out the state of california and it is when we have consistently highlighted in that space. We are doing more as well with another indicator and that is securing Surge Capacity within the Hospital System and outside of it. These alternative care sites which we have brought up and we have talked about the fms sites with close to two sites with close to 2000 rooms with support of the federal government and the work we have been doing collectively and collaboratively with cities and counties all up and down the state, provide assets as points of surge if necessary to address any increase in hospitalization and increase in need for isolation of vulnerable populations and we feel we have justice in that effort and because of your good work on physical and social distancing because youve overwhelmingly abided by the stayathome order he bought us time to put together this assets and not only the physical assets but begin the process of securing a workforce through the health core adaptation and the workforce that we have now identified for the potential surge, those individuals which have come back from retirement or willing to come back from retirement, particular job skills to meet needs and we do have a matching system and capacity now some more good news sterday we annou Million Masks which arrived saturday night and we have distributed two point 2. 87 million of those masks to our regional sites the state of california and another plane is taking off today and will be landing tomorrow and we will be getting subsequent shipments. Ppe beginning to loosen up and not close to where it needs to be and i do recognize that but i can assure you the reason that we put to. 87 million asked out yesterday is that was back orders just in the healthcare space. We want to broaden not be on the healthcare space and provide those masks and protective gear for people doing testing, make sure there is adequate supply and make sure the people on the front lines are adequately supplied and Skilled Nursing homes and Supportive Services and across the panoply of sectors. But progress in that indicator is also being made. We talked about indicator of therapeutics. I want to remind folks that california like massachusetts and new jersey, like a few states is well resourced the therapeutics space. I will remind people in for and outside of covenant that the state of california is the birthplace of biotech, our life science capacity is second to none, medical devices, san diego the bay area we are very blessed, the number of the National Institutes of health funded facilities in this state is a point of nb for many other parts of the globe. Not just across this country and as a cause once we are in advanced trials with our partners in the private sector working with our Uc Medical Centers and other terms of capacity of understanding in i will not promote any particular drug or trial but as an example remdisivir and theres trials with gilead and other folks in the space, we are making progress and at least understanding what is real and what is not in the therapeutic space with again points of the consideration always cautioned in that space. That is one of the other indicators that is important. Today we will highlight the issues around business in schools and Childcare Centers but before i get to that i briefly want to mention the other indicator, the sixth indicator, and that is if we pull back and we modify our stayathome order too early and we start to see an increase or surge in cases and hospitalizations and spread have to have the ability to toggle back and we have to have indicator, number six in terms of our capacity to deliver on the promise and what we are promoting today in this roadmap for reopening. Forgive me for being long winded but i wanted to contextualize the framework. There are six indicators and when those turned green, when they move from red to yellow come it guides our Decision Making and allows us to make determinations. Dates do not but data does. So let me introduce this fifth indicator, none are prioritized but it happens to be the fifth indicator around businesses and around issues of our schools and Childcare Centers. I do want to make this clear. We believe that we are weeks, not months away from making meaningful notifications to weeks and not months. So you ask is months, again based upon the data and based upon the indicators. We will talk about hospitalizations and icu and community spread, doctor angel will come up in a moment and show you the model or graph to actuals so you can see the stability in that space. We are still by no stretch of the imagination out of the woods. It is stable, we are not seeing substantial declines we californians know we never experience the big surge that other parts of the globe and certainly other parts of our country had but the stabilization is a point of some cautious optimism and that indicator allows us to make the presentation that we are over the course of the next few weeks to think about and consider, and more importantly to plan for in real time. So lets talk with business, there is manufacturing of nonessential materials, logistics or movement. Areas around retail and ie curbside, retail for nonessential items and the issues that have been broadly defined around the need to address our kids in schools. We have clearly shut down, people are well aware of this, the schools are shut down for the remainder of the school year, learning continues at home, Distance Learning and the like, but we recognize there has been a learning loss has of this disruption. We are concerned about their learning loss even into the summer. We are considering the prospect of an even earlier school year into the fall. Certainly late july and early august, we are beginning to socialize that and we have made no definitive decisions in that space but i want people to know the concern around learning loss and the concern abouting u for the fall for the new school year. As a parent myselfe kids, i think we might want to consider getting this school year moved up a little bit. So that is one of the things that we want to began to socialize in this indicator and we need to prepare for that and we need to start preparing for the physical changes in the schools and the environmental changes in the schools that are necessary in order to advance that conversation and make it more meaningful, accordingly in the childcare space itself. We are able to make these announcements and begin to have a more public conversation with you about opening up wiwith modification, meaningful changes to our stayathome order, again because people have taken seriously and overwhelmingly the stayathome orders and physical distancing. But i do want to caution everybody that if we pull back to quickly and we walk away from our incredible commitment to not only bend the curve but to stop the spread and suppress the spread of this virus, it could start a second wave that could be even more damaging than the first and undo all the good work in progress that you have made. The virus hasnt gone away. Its very acute and the ability to be transmitted and it is still dominant. We by no stretch of the imagination are out of the woods, there is durability to this virus and you might see seasonality so we might be lulled into this quiet sense of confidence to change our behavior, but ourselves at risk and put this broader agenda of reopening with modification at risk. So again i caution everybody as i will be doing on a daily basis of the importance of individual behavior and not just governmental behavior, individual behavior and to the extent businesses making decisions and modifications of our business leaders, men and women on the front lines, entrepreneurs and not just organize Business Advocates but the importance and power of their individual Decision Making in this space as well. We need to protect not just the Business Community for customers of those businesses. It is wanting to open those businesses but it is a false promise, and as someone whos had the privilege of starting many businesses i recognize i am not a job creator, it is the people making the money or spending the money that makes opportunity for growth and job creation. I deeply want to emphasize the importance of protecting customers, and of course one of the businesses financial or foundational resources which is fundamental and that is workers and at the same time we are protecting businesses as in the abstract. I am deeply sensitive to the needs for the Business Community to at least get clarity and we are trying to provide that the next few weeks so they can start to plan and look at their own supply chains and look at their own ability to change their physical and environmental conditions in their businesses and look at the guidelines that will be advancing very specifically and prescriptive lay, sector by sector for guidance on what we can do and what we cannot do at this stage. We are not going back to the way things were until we get the kind of immunity that all of us look forward to or a vaccine that we look forward to. I want us to be cautious in this space but also patient in this space. We recognize the imperative to meet any impatience in a pragmatic and thoughtful way and that is why doctor angel will be up in a moment to talk more specifically about these new phases that we will be rolling out with this indicator. That me briefly introduce the phases as i introduced doctor angel. We have looked at this indicator and we looked at it through the prism of four phases phase 1 we are currently in which is planning and workflow, focusing again on supply chains, is a cool and environmental considerations and planning to do what we need to do on ppe and the fun we need to do to make sure the conditions are set to move forward with modifications of the stayathome for businesses as one example. As we move into phase 2 where businesses can begin to reopen we need to make sure that guidance is abided by and that it is organized in a very deliberative way. That is the job of the doctor and she runs of the department of Public Health in thdrive decg. At the same time i want to drive localism and forgive me for repeating myself again on this and that is localism is determinative in this respect and i do recognize originality in the state and the variance in the different parts of the state but i also recognize in that respect local Health Departments have points of view that must be considered as well for example the bay area announced today extending their stayathome order through the end of the month. I am not here as governor to make an announcement preempting their right at the local to be i will respect that and i want people to know not in just those six bay area counties and a few extra cities that is the case but all across the state of california. Accordingly we have a regional variance we want to recognize for those people who do want to go even sooner based upon regional conditions. I am well aware and i have been receiving many letters, most of them very publicly provided to me in tweets and public pronouncements even before had the privilege of reading them personally, i recognize a lot of those regions are moving forward and making the recommendations. Dr. Angell will talk about the expectations we have making any regional augmentations. They are going to be stringent, not just because people think they are ready to reopen, even more loosely than the state guidelines, we will not just life and blithely do that without Community Surveillance obligations attached to those regional efforts and dr. Angell talk more about the seven currently underway and the five we will be doing very soon and in the 12 different counties total but Community Surveillance becomes foundational if we are going to loosen on a regional basis any of these new guidelines that we will be rolling out over the next few weeks. That is phase 1 and phase 2. Again retail, logistics, manufacturing, nonessentials, schools would begin this summer in preparation for early fall and childcare facilities and centers with strict physical distancing and environmental considerations, workforce protections and customer and consumer protections. There is a third and a fourth phase, the third phase is personal care. It is the areas around salons, category and dr. Angell again will lay out some details on that. And of course ultimately the fourth phase which is the highest risk activities, not the higher risk activities in stage iii, the highest risk activities which is the larger public venues, the conventions and the concerts and larger Entertainment Venues with crowds that would be in that category. I dont want to get ahead of myself as she will walk you through those four phases. Phase 2 is the phase that is upon us within this next few weeks, and pention and focus so we can prepare for it in real time. I will close before i put up dr. Angell and when i say prepare in real time, i mentioned yesterday that i would be doing it right after this press conference in presentation but we will be meeting sector by sector with our Economic Recovery Team we will meet today in the Retail Sector with some of the most wellknown brands and like the gap and with a Small Businesses to help them help us work on the guidelines for this second phase that again we are hoping to advance over the next few weeks. This is an example of the work we will have to do sector by sector every day over the next days and weeks in order to prepare for this augmentation a modification to the stayat home order. I have spoken long enough. Forgive me. A lot of what i have said it will be said much more definitively and systemically and most likely eloquently by dr. Angell who i am proud is here to make her presentation. Up of course with questions and i will do my daily update as briefly as i possibly can. Thank you governor. It is a pleasure to join you today with the message of what i would describe as cautious optimism as we just heard. Optimism based upon us looking at the data and understanding where we are today and giving insight into think about where we might be potentially the weeks and the months to come. We are guided by the data so i am pleased to share with you some more insight into thinking about how we are moving forward anchored that. I would like to start first about a reminder of what we shared two weeks ago and we shared that original roadmap and that was to discuss with you that everything we do will be a reflection upon six indicators. They reflect domains of work that we know are inherently important. As we think about moving forward and ways to modify our stayathome order and in a way that minimizes risk. This is not about a process that will remove the risk but it will be a process in which we can think about until that time we are all protected from covid 19, at that time where we have broadscale immunity or vaccinations, or other mechanisms through which we know we can be safe it will be a time where we have to be very thoughtful about the way we move and these six indicators which i have here are the ones we have just been reminded about and i will mention them to you, we can understand how this has informed our work today but it is six indicators we shared with you that included the following and first is the ability to test, contact and trace and isolate and support those people who may have been exposed. A very important tool that we have a particular as we think about moving from the first to the second as we were just described. I will give you more information on this but really a very important tool for all of our communities to be able to keep our Community Safe as we move around further the second is the ability to protect those at high risk for covid 19 and those are individuals and congregate care settings are those 65 or older are those with comorbidities that we know if exposed to the risk is much greater. And around everything we have done we have made sure it is a very central part of our dialogue and activities. It is also critical that we maintain Surge Capacity for hostile healthcare systems. As we moved to this next stage it is not about removing the risk entirely but minimizing risk. Even as people move in an environment with medical risk or minimal risk there is a possibility of increased cases we want to make sure the care Delivery System is there to support them in need Therapeutic Development to meet the demand is an area we are working on as well to make sure that we help move the work forward and finally we will talk today about an indicator that focuses on businesses and schools and childcare facilities, making sure that we support and making sure environments are safe for them. And most importantly, and as i move on to the next slide, is our ability to determine that we are moving in a way that is safe and best for californians. Also recognizing there is risk involved. So this gives us the sense that this is the right moment to talk about preparedness for potential modification and that is a recognition of the way in which, this is a surrogate marker, for the amount of covid 19 and how it might be moving in our communities. We are doing that at this time because of the absence of broadscale surveillance were doing that at this time with something that is an excellent indicator for us of this morning moment which is what is trending over time and this slide showed us from the beginning first of all when we introduced stayathome orders and over this time frame it does appear come and we are watching this cautiously, but we have reached a period of stabilization over the past few weeks that the total number of hospitalizations from covid 19 and total number of admissions into icus from covid 19 have remained stable. As the governor mentioned where watching this carefully and should this change it will change the way that we talk about our opportunities to move forward. But at this point this is the right moment for us to have this conversation with you. Let me move on to what the progress will look like. A couple of quick reminders. First of all covid 19 is not going away soon. This is going to be a while but there are things that is honest covid 19 are here there are ways we can modify that we move around the environment that will make it possible is what we are moving towards good were talking about modifications the stayathome order but they will be guided by health risks and our commitment to equity as we think about the kind of interventions appropriate at this time. The final thing really important for all of us to remember is ultimately we all have some responsibility in this and the responsibility exists at all levels, from the individual, from the way you make decisions about the way you move and from businesses in the way in which they change the environment to lower the risk, and to government in the way that we support and lift up appropriate policies. The fourth stage is good while the first stage is what we are in, we are all home or engaged in the essential workforce. We know there is work that is to be done here before moving on to stage ii and that is making the essential workforce environment safe as possible for all who are workers in any who may be staying at home but may be interacting with the essential workforce with essential businesses as part of doing this activities of daily living we must do like going to the Grocery Store. We are focused there right now and we will continue to do the work to as we can be. But we are also planning for stage ii. It is for lower risk workplaces and the goal will be creating opportunities for lower risk factors to adapt and reopen and why talk about low risk factors, which i will go into detail later, we are talk about things like manufacturing that may not have been a part of the essential sectors that are currently opening and also in stage ii will talk about modifying School Programs and include childcare reopening in the third stage is when we get into this areas that may be higher risk, this sectors that will take a lot more modification to adapt in a way that can make them places where people can move with lower risk. Those kinds of environments we will talk of more as well but we want to create an opportunity for those and we know it will be longer and coming. That is why those fall into stage iii and that is things like getting your hair cut, nails done or anything with inherent relationships with other people where the proximity is close and we need a very thoughtful process to ensure people dont put themselves at great risk and doing those activities we want to modify our stayathome order and have people moving much more freely because the risk is much lower. That will require therapeutics to be in place. Safety and preparedness, stage i. The things we will be actively doing is continuing to build out our testing, Contact Tracing, we will build up our source of ppe to make sure they are secure not only for current needs but also in anticipation of what will be needed for stage ii when we do begin to open other sectors that may also ppe. We will focus on maintaining ital Surge Capacity for the time being and anticipating we may need more as we move forward we will continue to make essential workplaces as safe as possible which includes really think about the physical Work Environment we are in and changing workflows to make sure the people are safe. We will make sure that we enhance our safety net for essential workers and continue to move forward taking ppe more available and also continuing to remind all of you in your daily behaviors that there is something for all of us to do, maintaining physical distance and doing all of those things that will help keep you safer and at lower risk. Now with stage ii will start focusing on lower risk workplaces and that means gradually opening with adaptations which includes things like retail and allowing for curbside pickup. Manufacturing which includes things like toys, clothing, furniture that was not part of the essential sector. Talking about offices which can include things like pr firms, consulting and other places where telework is impossible but by modifying the environment it can make it lower risk for individuals and talk about opening more public spaces, things like parks and trails which may have historically been limited because of our concerns trying to think about how we can modify that to make them safer for individuals to enjoy outdoor spaces because we know that physical activity is so important to our health and this is also about health clearly. Finally another area that we need to think about besides the physical environment is the environment or safety net itself. What are we providing than feel them to go to work. There is the whole environment of childcare and schools and for adults we talk about work for adults and for the younger adults, our children, school is there place and it is so critical for them and we feel strongly that when it is safer for them and we can create environments where they if they want to go back can go back and it takes more planning which is why we are discussing this now. We need to roll up our sleeves now and think critically and we needed to continue this discussion and more in earnest. Were talking about summer programs and starting sooner and perhaps july or august. Were talking about childcare facilities and find ways to provide more care and create more childcare ability for the workforce. It is fundamental that we focus on this because we have to address learning gaps that have occurred of with a limited amount of assets in this environment have to make up for gaps that may have occurred over this time. We will be focused and portly on making sure the environment is safe for kids but also safe for teachers and for others in the schools and for those providing essential services and supporting environments where our kids will be. Ultimately as we open up schools and as we make sure that childcare is more broadly available, it makes it possible for parents to go back to work. School will look very different but we are really focusing on enhancing those opportunities. What will we be doing . What do we need to do to get from stage i to stage ii . With the essential sector with stay home and quite limited engagement to one that will create more opportunities for lower risk workplaces . The things that need to happen and we will be focusing on together will be focusing on government actions. What are the types of policies we need to have in place that will allow people to stay home when they are sick. We need to provide guidance and we will continue to do that and make it available for how people can reduce risk and continue to provide people with the best scientific information we have about this virus to help people prepare themselves to move into an environment that is not fully safe but certainly lower risk. We can all make decisions ourselves in a very informed way. Businesses will need to think more about wage replacement so workers can stay home when sick they will need to be implement adaptations or lower risk workplaces now so when we are ready the next few weeks changes will be in place and when the data tells us that the moment is right, those environments can start to open. And to emphasize that in those places where workers can continue to work from home we will continue to encourage businesses to support those opportunities because staying apart at this time is still the safest place for all of us. And what about is individuals . We all need to continue to practice safety precautions which is physical distancing and using face coverings when appropriate and we need to avoid all nonessential travel which will continue but that is an important thing and that will decrease our potential exposure to others and as individuals we need to continue to support and care for those people we know are at those phone calls to people that are in their home and socially distancing themselves. Needs are met and think about how you might be a part of the for them. When will we be ready for stage ii . We will refer back to the six indicators. All of those six indicators are not exactly the same. I want to share with you are thinking now on which elements are indicators that we discussed earlier will be key. Will be watching hospital and icu trends carefully and thoughtfully. They need to be in a position where the state home orders could be modified in a way that would continue to maintain lower risk. We need to maintain hospital Surge Capacity so that as we move through to the next stage we can be confident that if there are increased infections from increased movement that we do have the facility to be able to respond and support and care for those patients. We need to make sure there is ppe available to support the demands that will come, not only with existing apartment and conditions we are in but anticipating what the needs will be in the future and be confident that we can secure those. We need to make sure there is sufficient Testing Capacity and it has been key focus of much of our work and you have heard a lot about our plans and we will work diligently on that. Finally we will look at Contact Tracing capacity statewide and will work with local Health Authorities and governments to make sure the capacity is there. We want to talk about variations which has been a hot topic of discussion which the governor mentioned and as the state Public Health officer im a kosse communication with local Health Authorities and understanding where they are and where their needs and desires are. During stage ii counties can choose to relax stricter local orders at their own pace and that is what we have been talking about in the bay area. The stayathome order is the basis for everyone but there are some counties in which the local disease epidemiology was such that the local Health Officers thought it was important to be stricter dersta community and they act appropriately following the science. Similarly here, as we make some modifications in the stayat home order there may be counties that may not be ready to go as fast and that will be supported and that is a regional variation which is absolutely fine. Following stage ii once we have a statewide covid 19 Surveillance System in place it will make it possible for us to understand what other types of regional variation might be possible. It is important because we know this virus doesnt respect the boundaries of county necessarily and we know as there are modifications and orders that people move differently across their and we need to understand not only what is happening at specific counties but in surrounding counties to really understand that the disease transmission has occurred and if we can modify in a way that is safe. We will work closely with local Health Authorities and governments. The final two stages we discussed our stage iii and stage number four and stage iii is the space we get into when we talk about higher risk workplaces and that is one of the later phases and it will take much more modification and we need to know much more about the movement of the disease. These include places like personal haircare places, Entertainment Venues where people are sitting closer together and sporting events with no live audiences. Other things that fall under this in Person Religious Services like churches and weddings and we need to think carefully about what kinds of provisions can be put in place so people can join the in a way that doesnt expose them for risk of covid 19 and ultimately the space we all look forward to and sunday as we move forward and work diligently together would be stage number four which would be the end of the stayathome order and that is when we would open up all of the highest risk workplaces, without modification necessary but at that time we would know we have identified a way to keep people from being not say from covid 19, either from population immunity or from vaccines. With that i want to remind you that this is a time of not just staying in one place where we are in stage one but it is an important time of work and that if i wanted to give you an opportunity to understand our planning. The first thing i want to tell you is if you want to be a part of the solution you need to stay home and if youre staying at home or if youre part of essential workforce stay home when youre not working. That is the best way to protect yourself but if you have to go out to go to the Grocery Store be sure to practice physical distancing all the other things we tell you that is the first thing you can do to be a part of the solution. The second thing is we are enlisting all californians to help inform the department of the guidance for sectors across our economy if youre something or someone that has particular insight and you are a business person yourself you will be invited to provide information, will put the website up shortly for you, that we want to hear from you. Ideas you have about how you can create safe workplaces are ideas we want to know about. We will be providing this guidance in a framework ultimately to help businesses and schools reopen in a way that reduces risk. But it really will continue to rely upon all of us to keep this moving forward. Thank you thank you dr. Angell and of the foundational point we want to advance the day is raised two as was presented by dr. Angell is in weeks and not months and phase 3 and phase number four are months and not weeks that is important so people have a sense of where we are and where we believe based again on the data that we are going. What i just said can substantially change of the data changes, if the health prevalence and spread of the disease changes and if our behavior radically changes we put ourselves a higher risk. But risk is the frame we are advancing, lower risk we will focus broadly across sectors to begin reopening. Higher risk we will be more cautious, not weeks force that stage for where we are back at concerts and Convention Halls with tens of thousands of fans in large stadiums, that will take some time. But nonetheless we do believe there is a framework where we can achieve and we can achieve together with the kind of earnestness of effort that doctor angel advanced in terms of being able to break these things down. We will begin a framework again im not just protecting those sectors of our economy but protecting the workforce within the sectors and consumers that attach themselves to the sectors as well. Let me as i do daily attach you to the latest data and numbers to reinforce and strengthen what you saw moment ago as a re stabilization, but also caution you as todays numbers should about where we are as it relates to the suppression of this disease yesterday we had 45 individuals who lost their lives and today we have 54 individuals who lost their lives. I mentioned that is roughly half of what we saw last week where we really saw the peak in terms of other deaths, it is still too many lives torn apart and again not statistics or data but real people and real families and real loved ones. Our hearts go out each and everyone. We also mentioned yesterday that we have 1300 new positives in the state of california, and today i announced 1576, it was 1300 but now it is 1576 individuals who have tested positive. Yesterday i mentioned there was an increase in the hospitalization rate of 1. 4 and today went up to 2. 5 , and the only good icu numbers today slightly and we are stable. So this gives you a sense again, we just are not out of the woods. Stable though those numbers are relative to so many other parts of the country, we still need to see the downward movement and we are going to monitor that data on a daily and hourly basis over the next few weeks. That is before we move forward with these modifications. If the data changes and we start to see some spikes or an increase in the Community Surveillance we start to see numbers that raise alarm bells, that is an indicator is no longer green or even caution and it turns red and as a consequence we adjust in real time. So i just want to remind folks of the dynamic nature of this effort and the very sober framework through which we make decisions again on the basis of fact and data and not ideology, not what we want and not what we hope, but what actually is and what we confidently can predict in the short and medium time. A lot of work for a lot of sectors of our economy to do the next few weeks we look forward to doing that with them and certainly for the schools, once again as a father of four children, that learning losses very real and from a socioeconomic frame and a Racial Justice frame, this is even more compounding and more challenging so it is incumbent upon us to think a new with respect to the school year. Again i am looking forward to those robust conversations about the prospects of an earlier school year that i do think is warranted considering the consequences of neglecting our next generation because of the inconvenience and the realities of this virus and its spread. Now that is Broad Strokes on where we are today and i will end as i always do as a reminder before he opened it up to questions that you can also participate not only in a sector by sector conversation, we have our digital roundtable and that respect again for retail today, but moreover to volunteer your time and your passion and your attention and focus and particular expertise to californians, and it is on the californiansforall. Ca. Gov website. I am happy to answer questions. We just heard the governor so we are not out of the woods but we are weeks and not months away from the state making modifications to the current stayathome and sheltered place orders are spit we have been listening to California Governor Gavin Newsom the path 15 minutes and as a parent i can tell you that my ears perked up the governor throughout the possibility that school for the Upcoming School year may start essentially in the middle of the summer and the governor pointed to a late july or early august start to the school year. As of right now my boys are said to be back in school sometime the second week of august and that would be a big change for millions of families across california. We heard and methodical laying out of where california is before we get to the next step and mike right now we are in stage one which means everyone but essential workers are at home and you can only go out for essential services and to get to stage ii that means the lowest risk workplaces and sectors would be able to begin reopening. Things like manufacturing. School programs will be heavily modified in some Childcare Options would reopen. These changes could happen in a matter of weeks, but again, like, you are a parent and starting school in the middle of july would be a big change. A big change in the governor keeps saying we are not out of the woods yet. Based on the last 45 minutes we are deep in the woods. You mentioned all of these the phases is governor said, phases one, two, three, four. Just going to a gym or salon all seems weeks away and especially the sporting events one. It seems were getting closer to phase 2 where manufacturing can reopen and smaller offices and retail which is a good sign. But science and data and Public Health is what the governor said they are relying on and what they will stick to. And with school it is a good idea, you know my children usually go to camps in the summer and we dont know that will happen but we have two working parents and we need the camps because we need to go to work and they are not in school so it will be interesting to see. He said maybe some parks and trails could open up as part of phase 2 and does it include summer camps . That will be interesting to see. So next fall academic ear could start in late july but one last one before we go to rosemary for the forecast, he talked about the regional conditions which was interesting because yesterday on the newscast we announced bay area counties said youre in the house until the end of may and the governor stepped up today and said book i understand the bay area is doing that and i think i wrote down the quote, i will not preempt their right to be more stringent. He said if the bay area wants to be more stringent go for it and we may open up may 15 or 16th but if the bay area was to stay more stringent i will not force them to open up. It seems eventually the counties will have the ultimate decision but a lot was set over this past hour but we are not out of the woods yet. Lets check with rosemary and a check of the forecast and this is the warmest day of the week rosemary . Yes it is on with the heat especially the inland cities but around the bay im feeling here in my home and temperatures several degrees warmer than where we were yesterday and those temperatures peeked today and we will begin to cool it down as early as tomorrow. This is a look at San Francisco which is in the upper 50s to low 60s with a little bit of an offshore breeze helping us out 80 the north bay, low 70s in oakland and fairfield 85 in san jose right now is 76 and giving a look at the 24 hour temperature change, 13b0 warmer right now in palo alto, six in oakland and four of degrees in napa and a view of the High Pressure strengthening over the bay area at least for today and that will begin to change and a switch and the pattern is coming our way as early as tomorrow. A little bit of fog at the coastline but most of us with blue skies and sunshine and when it comes to the wind very calm and fairfield and it is a southwesterly direction but not bringing any relief today. Novato reporting northwest breeze at 14 in oakland is onshore at 10. A bit of a wind coming from many directions and a variety of wind typical for this type of pattern but as far as what we are seeing today is compared where we should be is 15b0 abov seasonal average for santa rosa and 70 above seasonal average for santa rosa and 74 San Francisco which is 6b0 above average, 86 today in livermore when typically you are about 73 there is a better look around, 70 over areas of San Francisco and 79 for redwood city and hotter spots and your 90, 89 around antioch and fant fairfield should hit 90 but it doesnt last. Look at the extended forecast, temperatures take a noble drop for the bay area on wednesday and they continue to cool thursday, friday and saturday into sunday. By the end of the week and into the weekend along the coastline upper 50s to low 60s, and we have 60s around the bay with upper 60s and breezy conditions on sunday for the inland cities. Back to you.

La la la la la many Opera Singers find themselves without a stage during this quarantine and instead are going online to perform but i talked with San Francisco opera meso soprano Simone Mcintosh who said it is not the same as being in front of a live audience. It is not the easiest thing and it is preferable to be in the room because there is so much organic musicality that happens when we are working together that context. Quite honestly we have some of the most amazing people to work with and so andrew, the pianist, he has recorded the piano track previously and anne marie sang her part over the top of that, i put those together and i sang the final piece, then we put it all together and we sent it off to the San Francisco opera where they edited it and there we go.
