You see davis scientists there working hard to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus and along with partners they have been moving closer to testing how primates react to the virus and that could help lead to a new treatments kron fours felipe chagall has the story. Eventually u c davis intense to study how monkeys respond to a coup big 19 infection. Their reactions will hopefully help scientists develop a vaccine. Unlike the common cold and seasonal flu. Covid 19 infections in children are turning out to be mild. But very serious and deadly for people over 60. Scientists dont know why yet. But further testing may shed light in the United States, the First Community acquired case of Novel Coronavirus or covid 19 was discovered in a patient at u c davis medical center. Infectious disease physicians and scientists there immediately isolated and began to grow the microorganisms in the laboratory to learn more about it. How contagious and lethal viruses and how the local case compares to others around the world. The university is developing a robotic system capable of running 1400 coronavirus tests the day with quick results. You see davis is working with both the center for immunology and Infectious Diseases and the California NationalPrimate Research center to get the tests up and running the partnerships are expected to help speed up validation of the tests by the us food and Drug Administration a step still required by law even. And were interrupting flips package because governor newsome apparently is ready to begin his News Conference. Lets listen in. That fate in future were not victims of circumstance we can make decisions to meet moments. This is a moment. We need to make tough decisions. This is a moment. We need some Straight Talk and we need to tell people the truth. We need to bend the curve in the state of california and in order to do that we need recognize the reality. The fact is experience were having on the ground throughout the state. For experienced manifesting all across the United States and for that matter. Around the rest of the world require us to adjust our thinking and to adjust our activities. The state of california, many people are very familiar. With these adjustments. Number of days ago there were 6 bay area counties that lead with stay at home orders. Now as i speak some 21. 3 million californians reside in a community in a city and or county that have similar orders. A state as large as ours nation state is many parts but at the end of the day were won by. There is a mutuality theres a recognition of our interdependence that requires of this moment that we direct a state wide order for people to stay at home. That directive goes into force in effect. This evening. And we were confident we are confident that the people the state of california. Well a bye bye. Do the right thing. Meet this moment to step up that they have over the course of the last number of weeks to protect themselves to protect and family their families and to protect the Broader Community and this great state in the world that we reside confidence and that confidence because i see it every single day weve seen it in cities, large and small people still doing essential work. People still providing essential Services People still going out to the Grocery Store to get food walking their dogs practicing social distancing. Nonetheless when theyre out in the streets. People still getting their medicine. People still going about doing the kind of essential work that is required to meet this moment, the order provides for all of that just as these other orders that have been put into place and cities large and small across the state have afforded. People ask well how would you enforce as i say theres social contract here. People i think recognize the need to do more and to meet this moment. People will self regulate their behavior that begin to adjust and adapt as they happen quite significantly. We will have social pressure that will encourage people to do the right thing just an odd look saying hey maybe should reconsider. Just being out there on the beach 22 strong in a park. Its time for all of us to recognize as individuals and as a community. We need to do more to meet this moment. Forsman comes in many shapes. The regulatory framework, you have licensing frameworks i dont believe the People California need to be told to Law Enforcement that its appropriate to stunt. Home isolate. Tech themselves about the essential. Central patterns of life. The do so by socially distancing themselves from others and do so using a common sense. Now why is it important that i have aunts this new order as for the following reasons. Weve been doing pandemic planning the state of california for now over a decade. Now were moving into application implementation that includes the the latest technology and Data Collection the ability to work with Artificial Intelligence ai to match that data to really look at trend lines before they become headlines. What were seen not only on the ground that were seen to the data is this spread continues at a pace that we had anticipated in a number of our models let me be precise. So number and that we have been using for the purposes of guiding our resource delivery and guide our decisionmaking. We estimate the United States weve hear this number across the rest of the world that people 30 of the population is highest 70 of population, im a contract. The virus. In california weve been working with those numbers as a nation state 40 million weve been organized around and the tax rate as we refer to it 56 that the virus will impact about 56 of us. You do the math state of california thats a particularly large number that number in and of itself shouldnt be overly alarmed the vast majority of the over. Well, the majority of us. I wont have symptoms will be perfectly fine. But there is a subset that were concerned about that will impact not be impacted by the fires but also potentially can impact including impacting our capacity to deliver the High Quality Services not only to meet the moment as it relates to covid 19 but to provide for all the acute that millions and millions of californians depend on every single day. So were looking. Hospitalization rate by using those numbers. Forgive me a no 7 times these numbers get confusing but a 56 attack rate. You soon that are not which is a number of individuals that may come in contact with that can contract the virus if you use. Formula a we believe a with a 20 hospitalization rate little bit on the higher end though some would argue could be much higher some believe it might be much floor, but 20 hospitalization rate. Its about 19,500 and 43 people that we need to be hospitalized under that scenario. The existing capacity of our system. So thats the plan the methodology weve been using im being very straight with you. These are numbers i can assure you governors, mayors. Administration across the country here are working with. But i think its time to tell you what i tell my family. I tell my wife. Just as i did 2 nights ago and i told my daughter and i dont believe that this school year so get back into that classroom. Those are Difficult Conversations and another conversations youre having in real time youre having with one another as i speak and i deeply appreciate the anxiety of these Difficult Conversations but we must have. But as we work through that planning process 19,000. And 43 thats in our system. Im able to look at our existing capacity, let me be specific of water existing capacity looks like we have 416 hospitals in the state of california. We have capacity to provide care beyond the Hospital System but with in the Hospital System. We have cassidy to search. The number of events beyond the 78,000 currently staffed beds by an additional 10,207 by the way a number changes on a daily basis. But thats todays number. So looking at the 19,500 plus individuals in our planning looking at that Search Capacity about 10. 1000 were looking at a delta a gap that requires about 10,000. Well 10,000. Vents 10,000 members of the community to staff those beds. And thats currently what were up against. But heres the point thats a planning. Document if we change our behaviors. That in the tory will come down. If we meet this moment. We can truly bend the current to reduce the need to surge to new reduce the need to have to go out. You get to kabul. All those assets together though i want you to know we are doing just that we always plan we always anticipate let me give you some pro points. Today we just secured a very large hospital in Northern California sea. Its now part of our portfolio and were going to populate that hospitals, an example to meet the moment tomorrow will announce a hospital in Southern California that 750 ballots. Those 2 hospitals come by. We start to stack this 750 here. The motels that were currently in hotels were currently and negotiating with we start stacking. Those master lisas for those hotels, were working and very very positive conversations with the leaders of 2 of the finest, a Public University systems in the world. You see and the California State University system working with those system to identify appropriate dormitories to help us with the surge we start stacking. Those numbers were working with the federal government had a conversation today with Vice President pence and president donald trump. Together on the phone talking about our needs in addition to my conversation today with the secretary of defense about these mobile medical and field units that they have committed to pledging not just california but to folks all across this country. He start stacking those things and we. I believe the capacity to meet this month but not unless we change our behaviors and do what is necessary to meet this moment, lets bend the curve together lets not regret, lets not dream of regret. Go back say we you know we what it should have now in the data all points to where i think most of us know were gone and has to be transparent. What has to be us to still go to the time being the bearer of these messages i can assure you. Home isolation its not my preferred. In joyce, i know its not yours. But its a necessary when we started with seniors, 65 and over the most vulnerable population and will continue to overly focus on that population, those with copy. My compromise, immune systems, but we now need to broaden it. To all californians so thats the order of are putting out today, its consistent with the leadership we seen at the local level, including i want to acknowledge their car city and others in los angeles in la county. That are recognizing in meeting this moment as well. In addition, i want to thank Speaker Nancy Pelosi we had it very long conversation today talk about meeting the moment. Were so blessed to have her leadership in california. Shes very familiar Northern California certainly familiar to me is former mayor of San Francisco our conversation was not only about what she has done. And what is being done. In the senate as we speak, but what will be needed over the course of the next number of months as we come back as we recover as we this is not a permanent state. This is a moment in time. And we will meet this moment together and we will look back at these kinds of decisions as pivotal decisions if were to be criticized at this moment, lets be criticized for taking this moment seriously that is being criticized for going full force and meeting this virus head on. Were doing so today in the state of california through this order and were doing so by continuing to go collaboration and partnership across every level of government and the private sector. Let me conclude by just making a few points fill in that we had today a very important conversation. It was punctuated earlier today by President Trump in his press conference with the ceo gillian to California Based Company around treatments i want to compliment the president and his focus on treatments a it is a focus of positivity as we work to bridge a towards a vaccine. It was a very encouraging conversation to conversation that we can have many other ceos of companies not just in the state of california but for that matter around the rest of this country and around the rest of the world. There are treatments and child are you see system off i hospitals are already actively engaged. In those treatments and the courses that are part of some of these anti virus in some of these medicines that to you have all learned about today because the pres president s announcement thats very encouraging we want to continue to go capacity and partnerships along those lines. We are working to build capacity and partnerships to get more protective gear in the state of california youve all been seen headlines. Some of them weve driven by own anxieties and that space by their own limitations and access and gowns and gloves classes and other protective gear. Heres the good news in the state of california. I was talking to Vice President president today, thanking them for the First National stockpile transfer of assets. We just received where we received quite literally hundreds of thousands of gloves and face masks, not just an 95, but also surgical masks were going to be starting to get. Cash of assets out into our Diverse Communities throughout the state of california. Many of you know we had our own cash in her own story to the 95 masks. We still have 10 million of those mass and we are getting them out in real time we started with 21 million we have about 10 million still as we distribute those we distribute his first 11 to 55 counties in the state and will continue to get those and 95 masks out there and we recognize that distribution cant happen fast enough. We also talked to a wellknown entrepreneur today. Ventilators. Many of you know that have followed our press conferences. Here in the state we have 7,587 ventilators in a Hospital System. We have 514. Through a cash at the department of Public Health that are being repurpose we have an additional in our msa. Cash that were repurposing and then we order an additional 200. We need to increase the manufacturing. Those ventilators and we are working with the private sector and wellknown entrepreneurs to consider to help us in that respect as well starting to repurpose some of the manufacturing in this state to meet the moment. Typically a to prepare for our seniors and that may need that support so again this is this is a difficult moment. And this is one i know is filled with deep anxiety is a father. The husband. For young kids to families in particular to folks that have had dropped. No longer dropped off at school. But now are living with their kids 24 7. But in together. Learning plans trying to figure out. You know the nomenclature. What their 7th grade Science Teacher understands that officer coming appreciate our teachers. Well coming to appreciate each other. I think a little bit more. We dont see this through the lens of rural urban. So they dont see it lands. A republican a democrat. I think were all human beings, deeply capable, a loving one another meaning this moment. Beginning to love ourselves enough to recognize that our individual decisions that it can determine our capacity. Movie for covid 19 dot ca dot gov covid 19 dot ca dot gov is a sight we put up to provide information. I would be putting more detailed information out the next hours and days about the exemptions to the stay at home order. But again for those living in many of the Northern Californians are impacted youre very familiar with those exemptions and for those of you are not again were going to keep the Grocery Stores open. Were going to make sure. Youre getting critical medical supplies you can still take your kids outside practicing common sense and social distancing you can still walk your dog you can still pick up. One of our Distribution Centers at a restaurant and a drive through all those things we will still be able to do and to secure that closing. I want folks to know that we lost a lot of volunteers that you know simply are concerned understand theyre staying home and our food banks. Others that rely on volunteers and Community Spirit need a little support and so were going to provide that support. In addition, the alarming its humanitarian only but well send out about 500 of our extraordinary Leaders National guard to help with the distribution and the food again just purely humanitarian and well be announcing some very very exciting with social Media Companies like next door to provide kits information qna sta. You know start to check in on loved ones check in on your neighbors. Things that you need a one pager said so you know what kind of things you need at home to protect yourself, those are socially isolated our seniors struggling with loneliness as much more than anything else to make sure we reach out maybe call 5 people a day just check in on them. So weve got to hope cant we put out with that social Media Company and were going to have more the americorps. Conservation corps, the state of california all of this in the spirit of meeting them all including the spirit, reaching out those that are healthy young those set to make an appointment be socially appropriate terms of their distance scene. Get blood drawn help those in need are blood banks. I need support. Interesting we are not able to provide because were not doing the large blood draws and fares the kind of capacity in the past the good news about the social isolation. In some respects the need in the short term is gone down so it should be alarming. But we want to meet the moment if indeed our blood banks need Additional Resources as well so again its a spirit of the moment, stepping up stepping in. Recognizing our own individual capacity to meet this moment to not just rely on others. Do it its a fun thoughtfully. Just cannot express or appreciation for the collaborative spirit. That is to find this moment across agencies across jurisdictions across this country into the white house the Pentagon Health and Human Service agencies across this country sharing best practices across state and of course the cdc and their leadership. So with that. Any questions i got a team. Some of behind me. State of california for recognizing. This moment and meeting. So be part of this hospital stacking and specifically. Can explain whether we have enough doctors and nurses and what your plans are stopped the official michael to 30 here higher. Yes, so weve been working very climate of just yesterday. We had representatives representing the penalty. Health care Delivery System broadly defined from the hospitals on down represent us that doctors and others nurses clearly. We are currently looking not only the assets within the system. But were looking more broadly its scope of practice and reforms that are necessary under the circumstances off give you a more specific example, one of the really ennobling credible things about our Public Employees in the state of california as weve been putting out a survey to those employees and asking them if they have skills and other areas. And their willingness to step up and say it could be. I happily work outside of my Job Description and happy to lend a hand and so weve got nurses and doctors and paramedics all part of california workforce. I different capacities and were pulling them in to help supplement also working with our federal partners at 8 s s as it relates to adopting a staffing regime in strategy that can help support not just those mobile field. Units but also to help us with these hospitals. I dont know doctor get a apple find place as it relates to additional thoughts when they step. Sure we continue to work just as the governor said with our partners across the state in the health care professions. Working on the ratios and and Different Things to make sure we can stuff up were looking at individuals recently retired to come back and support these these new facilities and existing facilities, we know that some Perfect Health care professionals who are as busy in the rotation practices nurses, doctors Nurse Practitioners other Health Care Professionals can step up and are willing to join us as we build up this past monday in new facilities and a increase our capacity in our existing facilities. So it has felt and it continues to feel like the whole all hands on deck mission. Were having great conversations with all of our partners across the state. The willingness is enormous. We are a daily receiving emails and calls with the willingness to step up and help we know this is going to be a challenge but we believe californians together a meeting. Think theyre doing you want a sense of how long a myself place point and laugh and then you know you talk about the state has modeling and has been for the where for days now i know why now buy it through the day with their at number thing the pain that may he takes us back to that. I think its a weve been very fluid as you know almost on a not almost on a daily basis weve been adjusting to changing conditions and not only here in the state but changing recognition across this country. And an understanding of whats happening in other parts of the that require us to adjust our quite honestly in an hourly basis, not just a daily basis. So based upon the meetings we had yesterday with the Health Care Professionals based upon the conversations we had this morning, the fellow governors. The president sisi and based upon our models based upon our trend lines based upon some new information that came in as relates to those models of john hopkins among others. We felt that was to raise the and do what we can to bend that curve in your mind. The numbers we put out today assume that were just along for the ride. We want to manipulate those numbers down thats what this order is all about the projection said we will have but we dont that by projection again i began this. We are not victims of fame. Or circumstance, the future is something inside us. Its our decisions that will determine. Those projections. And thats why we decided today to make this decision. I mean i hear me, yes they can. Yeah i think governor i i think in hearing a lot of aid workers that theyre still being told to come into work and because of that
