Provided and into the record to the conclusion of the hearing. I recognize myself for 5 minutes for Opening Statements. Let me find my Opening Statement here. I believe this hearing is long overdue. Suffering terrible inequalities. Unreliable access to the energy grid, little or no broadband connectivity, and reliable funds for the federal government and other systematic problems that created unnecessary hardship and turmoil and covid19 is exacerbating these long existing problems. One third of tribal members are at high risk of serious covid19 complications due to Underlying Health factors and Navajo Nation has seen higher infection rates than those in china at the peak of the pandemic. Despite this stark reality the impact of covid19 on tribal communities, weve seen the struggles of tribal communities and access to personal protective equipment and testing to protect against covid19. Is this pandemic redesign and covid19 cases continue to rise in many areas of the Country Access to p
We are in bit. That is some good news for today. But the bad news is of course that we have fires that are out there that are being combated right now and i taking you down to court is a ridge. This is the biggest fire right now that they are dealing with. 54 humidity, so the wind is expected to pick up as we get into the afternoon and unfortunately, that could make things a little more difficult for them. 21 Miles Per Hour at sfo but other than that we are pretty calm across the bay area with wind, but well see that change this afternoon to get a little bit dusty but what a beautiful morning this morning shot of the golding gate bridge. Relay are not in play this morning really, 52 degrees, 55 in San Francisco, 51 in oakland, warming up in livermore to so today we are going to see those low 60s at the coast, so it should be low to mid 70s around the bay. A gorgeous day and then we are talking mid to upper 80s, this couple spots might heat the 90 spots. That is going to hold for a coup
What i meant by its not working is were dealing with Community Spread as a substantial number of people getting infected do not know theyre infected. Theyre not symptomatic. Theyre asymptomatic individuals. The classic paradigm of identification and Contact Tracing is very difficult to make that work under those circumstances. You superimpose upon that the fact that even with identification, isolation and contact trace, often the dots are not connected. If you get on the phone and talk to people who are in some of these communityus find that a lot of it is done by phone.

Side. But, us know, history is not the long suit. Of these woke children. They didnt take history classes apparent lit in high school and college. They were too busy taking social justice seminars. You can see tt too in philadelphia. The statue of matias baldwin. He was a committed and devoted abolitionist who funded education for freed African Americans, who gave them jobs, and they defaced his statue. Even more amazing, in boston the shaw memorial was defaced. The shaw memorial honors the 54th massachusetts regiment, the first African American regiment formed after the emancipation proclamation. Whose braver and battle on behalf of the union cause was memorialized in the movie glory. Yet it was defaced by these mobs. Not just our history. Its pop culture and entertainment too. You may have seen the news that live p. D. And cops Television Shows canceled. Paw patrol was on the cutting board too. You may know that chase is the police cop. Theres call to euthanize the police dog on soci
