Particularly under the circumstances made more acute in terms oundational of our ability to not just promote the promise of education but to actually deliver on it. Ive been very proud of the work folks have done from the superintendent of Public Education to the president of school board, linda both of which , are on the phone today but ive also been very blessed by know very well, nd thats my wife, the first partner of the state of california. She, in part sher wip with of my ship with members team, ben cheetah and others, over the working hard last few weeks to build on the announcement we made a few weeks about those 100,000 free has hot spots that google committed to rolling out throughout the state of california and the 4,000 chrome they made available to build on the work that apple has been doing. 800 School Districts, 10,000 ipods that they have donated. Do even more to meet the needs of millions of that simply dont have access. Phones. Been working the shes had good days. Like some of us. Ome days havent been as fruitful. Companies, large and small, individuals that have made small contributions, some large and philanthropy and foundations and package we wanted to roll out today that i think will our a brighter light on capacity to deliver and the ver, i think reinforce need, certainly to do more. So with that in mind, let me first partner of the state of california, jen newsom. Excited to so i am be here today to help announce some fabulous commitments from tropic ness and if i communities fill an tropic to help close the educational divide. Like so many parents across the i had a pit in my stomach when i watched the governor stand here and told our daughter wouldnt be going back to spring. His two with diagnosed learning istances differences, Distance Learning can be a and enge to say the least can be hard to tackle their most takingg challenges while Conference Calls and zoom meetings in between lesson progressnitoring their and helping them work through math problems while trying to emails or ughtful different work strategies given the new norm. Say some days have been a major struggle. Im constantly having to remind myself to breathe. Lessons day there are where i learn something about them as individuals and us as a family. Most of the time, though, im having to remind myself to stay the and carry on, no matter stress and anxiety that comes my way. Ut, of course, i know that as hard as this has been for me, it can only be that much harder for and families who do not have the same resources that we do. The ldnt give up opportunity for Distance Learning for anything. Family has pretty good Internet Access at home despite my technical challenges, access a treasure trove of free online resources childrens r our use. We have laptops for my older children. One is on its last leg, and we can learn with full bellies and full hearts. Two many california kids, this is simply not the case. N fact, one in five lack connectivity or an appropriate device for remote instruction. Nd as a first partner of california, i feel an incredible responsibility towards these ids and their parents who are doing everything that they can to keep their families housed it they and seeing to have food on the table, all while ensuring their kids learn. E to the fear these parents have that their children will fall behind ithout Internet Access and devices is very real. In fact, two weeks ago, a survey that 50 of the lowincome families and 42 of of color in california are worried about Distance Learning because they dont have device at home. So to all of these families, i youve to know that been on the governors and my mind every day since this crisis and i want you to know that we have your back and well continue to fight for you. Few weeks ago, as the governor mentioned, he issued a call to action for companies to meet help close the Digital Divide starting with a 4,000 from google of chrome books. In the weeks since, a few colleagues and i reached out to ountless individuals and companies asking them to dive deep into their pockets and see hat they can do for californias most vulnerable students. I have been so moved by the and the willingness to step up and help close the divide. Digital when some of them have already maxed their giving across the the world. Around because of these commitments, hundreds of thousands of the digital cross divide, including 70,000 californian students who will laptops, chrome books, week. Blets starting this that means hundreds of thousands of california students can ontinue to learn online and become the leaders we know they are meant to be and that to be. Nia needs them so i want to give thanks to all of those who contributed to make a special le and thanks to businesses like print, tmobile, amazon, h. P. , verizon, and zoom. Along with tremendous gratitude or individual commitments from folks like jack dorsey, an and zuckerberg signy, and so many others. We all know that education is opportunity, and so our mission will not end until every child in california continue hey need to learning while physically distanced. This pandemic should not stand way of california students reaching their potential and realizing their dreams. Once again, thank you to all of you who have stepped up and of me us create a culture to we in california. And i especially want to thank darlingham and president of californias board of turman, n and tony our thurman, along with our and chief deputy cabinet secretary for the governor, for their incredible support on this. I want to thank the 40 million californians who are ways ng up ain tremendous to meet this moment. We know this time is incredibly but we will get together. Is onward, california. Thank you. Governor newsom thank you, jen. Again, i want to thank the and teamwork that is demonstrable in not only the partner has first done but the superintendent of state education and the school board, all of those individuals, there are many have that we could listed, i want to also express twoweeke this was a sprint to create the opportunity to provide tens of thousands of units, laptops, hrome books, computers, ipods and the like. We continue to need to do much, much more. Talk a little bit about what the Public Utilities commission will be doing to that end. About some partnerships we have here in the city of sacramento in a moment, to express my deep gratitude, as jen just did, to public rintendent of education for all of his hard ork and his staffs diligence and focus to further this collective cause. d like to ask the superintendent to say a few words here today. Thank you, governor newsom, thank to the first partner. Thank you, all, californians. Thanking start off by the governor for this call to action and to all those who have responded to that call and to who will continue to respond to that call even after today. I want to thank the first partner for her countless calls her advocacy to reaching out o so many individuals and companies and others who can help and who youll hear about have in fact helped and appreciate the first comments about the importance of our parents who are standing in the gap. Thurmoned theyre working alongside our educators in support of our students. Board to thank our state f education president , Linda Darlingham who have burning up the phone to foundations, who us and the ly with governor and the governors staff to really pull together in can. Sector help where we i do want to thank the governors staff. You heard reference to ben great , who has been a partner, and many others. I want to thank the California Department of education staff first ked alongside the partner and also our state board president to help make this happen. Particular, mary nicely from the California Department of education, whos been our point literally fielding calls and emails day and night about devices and devices are now moving to get to School Districts and to the into the students. Ur rateful set of thanks to our foundations, companies and individuals who you will hear from today who made started ions to get us on this path. Again, just want to give the my entire team at the department of education who every ly surveyed nearly one of the 1,000 School Districts in this state and that ourdone in partnership with association of administrators nd our county soup intendants superintendents to help us get that information. Of our legislators sending us information to define the youll hear it today. I want to thank my staff who have literally been on the phone School Districts verifying those needs and those calls. Over over 1,000 School Districts. Grateful for the california Public Utilities commission. Hear about creative ways the state of california is leading with public finances, surepublic dollars to make that students can have a laptop tablet and book or a to make sure they can have access to a hot spot in their home. Part reative work on the of the governor, the governors staff, the department of staff at the ur p. U. C. We know this is a great start, work must continue, and were committed to continuing to work with the governor and the with our staff and business and others in the state to do so. That respect, many of you may have heard that weve created a force on closing the Digital Divide. We talk all the time about how we must meet the needs students during this pandemic, and having the tools distance are a critical. Nothing replaces the importance these eat teacher, but tools connect our kids to teachers and our kids have to have them, and our digital has happened and gone on longer than this pandemic, and ts been something weve dealt with for decades. So im grateful for the leadership of our governor and our state board president and me in believing that as we respond the needs of ur students to learn in this pandemic that we must do so in a way where we once and for all Digital Divide and make sure that all of our students have the tools that their success and that give them the best chances to be successful. Thatroud to be cochairing lava. Orce with senator there are certain people youll today that joined this task force that live in the areas that have major issues connectivity. This will create a blueprint on how to close the divide and a imeline and continue the work going forward. And this task force will have its first meeting this afternoon 4 00 p. M. , and people can live. It on facebook again, great thanks for the good morning for making this call to are n and asking those who meeting the moment. We look forward to working with those who will continue to meet moment. Anyone can help. You can help with the task force to donate cde. Ca. Gov. I will send it back to the governor and thank you for aking this great call to action. Governor newsom thank you for your hard work and diligence and hank you, again, for extending an important part of the narrative today is were not done. This is the beginning of a process. More work to do. The digital lose divide in the context of this pandemic but more broadly, weeks now the making, of intensive focus and sector ented private support. But were going to need to on what were doing in order to get to where we ultimately all need. E recognize where we need to go. That includes, by the way, a lot of work this summer. Available on the phone. Will take questions on thoughts around Summer Learning and that extend beyond the technical end of this school year. But we want to provide what we can in those hotspots and these supports so we can continue to extend that learning time even though the schools are closed. Learning and education must continue. Distance learning can be of able in the state california. It just needs to have anek wit lens, rural, ity small districts, and those from a socioeconomic perspective that deserves our support. Progress here today and also progress tomorrow and over the of se of the next number months. I referenced some of that progre in advance because of see. You rob will be here talking about a eleconnect effort through the p. U. C. Were setting aside 25 million to advance that effort. Again, hotspots, wifi, addressing the issue of Digital Divide. Supplement the work of pple rather, google and others in that space. In addition to that, theyre total 5 million, package 30 million at the additional chrome ipads, excuse me, ipods that i referenced earlier, to to do the Distance Learning that were promoting at this moment. To shareress we wanted with you in that space. Lso, progress as it relates to partnership at the cities level. The city of sacramento is concept. T a proof of theyll be rolling out in the next number of days, i think right before may 1, theyre be converting seven chool buses and making them mobile hotspots to provide access. F that proof of concept is successful, well roll that out more broadly throughout the state of california. An expression of appreciation, not just c. T. A. Teachers, but to those out there that also deserve support at unt of this moment. Those are janitors, those are those are the , supportl staff, so many staff that make our School System work. Its so essential and critical the distance e ourning work in addition to extraordinary teachers. And so i just want to express of you reciation to all as well. So thats Broad Strokes where we are. Happy to answer questions in a moment. Me briefly just give you an update as we do on our daily ofefings on the total number lives tragically lost, issues elated to hospitalization, i. C. U. s, updates on a few other issues and, of course, happily questions. We sadly lost 42 additional lives last night. Weekend, we crossed that threshold of over 1,000 people that have lost their lives. As of this moment, 1,208 human beings lubes in the state of human beings in the state of california have lost their lives to covid19. So, again, expression of deep mpathy and recognition that these, again, are not statistics. These are human beings. Journeys, each and every one of them precious and our heart goes out to their ones. And loved as it relates to the broader and issues. U. s related to our hospitals, we are 1. 9 above where we were yesterday in the total number of hospitalizations. 2. 8 above where we were esterday in number of i. C. U. Patients. Again, hospitalizations are flatten but still growing. And were seeing i. C. U. s forth. G back and modest decreases, modest increases. So, again, progress is being made. You are bending the curve. Youre beginning to flatten the still but it is nonetheless rising. Deaths continue to rise, hospitalization numbers modestly continue to rise, and i. C. U. Numbers beginning to flatten but that downward g trend we need to see in order to that e more clarity on road map to recovery, which we rolled out last week. Wednesday, we will roll out more details around those six roadmap to n our recovery, and youll start to exactly d the curtain where we believe we are in realtime in terms of our toing tole, gin again, not toggle, again, not switch but more of a dimmer to adjust our stayathome orders. Effect for good reason. The numbers bear that reason and thatso bears consideration those numbers, again, are an aggregate and dont reflect the this viers in almost every virus in almost every part of the state of california. Point. T to make the when you look at the top 15 ounties impacted by the virus, they include torali county, fresno county, they include county. They include riverside county. Of this ude every part state and its just incumbent upon all of us to recognize that. In the top 15. Many of those in the top 10 covid19. By the incredible importance that we place on continuing our distancing orders. I know how impatient people are i just cannot express more gratitude for the incredible and heroic work all have done to soften the blow of this virus so far in the of california. Again, lets not dream of regretting of pulling the plug too early. To lean in. We are leaning in. Am as eager as you to answer the question when. On wednesday, youll have more clarity, again, when we start to all of those six areas hat are part of that transformation, rather, part of that process to begin to new phase of o a this pandemic. I want to also just let folks on friday, we put out the list by facility. A complete list. We got 80plus percent. Think its 83 of all of the facilities, 1,224 Skilled Nursing facilities. The rest of that information out but we provided them by facility. The same today to broaden the appropriate inquiries that were receiving senior other adult and care facilities. Remember, 1,224 Skilled Nursing in addition to that, e have 7,461 facilities in our adult and senior care centers. Some of them are just one or two people. Five, or six. Those facilities with more than first l be the information patients, that is, the first traunch of information we provide by facility and type. That also include in number the number of deaths, not just the number of facilities, of er of staff, and number patients impacted by covid19. As soon as we get that make thatn, i want to Information Available to you. Weve done it, again, for snifs. To do it more broadly for the rest of the system. Depth data, we now have it relates to those other facilities. That is something forthcoming that i want to preview and also just want to extend, again, a preview of are, on the work that we again, doing on wednesday that tracing, onating on tracking, on isolation, on and on testing as well. Were still making progress in testing space. We have a task force that many convened w we weekplus ago. E had goals, very prescriptive goals to significantly increase from just 2,000 tests a day at the end of march to get to by april 14. Weve been able to exceed that of the number in terms daily total of tests conducted. Want to get to 25,000 by the end of this month, and then significantly increase those multiples in may and june. Ell be updating you on wednesday. Again, its part of the six categories, but well be ighlighting the category of testing, tracing, tracking, isolating, and quarantine in wednesday briefing so that you will be able to get a sense where we are, get some confidence in our capacity on he tracing to build that army, not just of volumes, but at the rs but those county level that are currently employed in that space and build off that workforce and their expertise and complement heir work by scaling it by thousands and thousands of others that will be necessary to ultimately advance the goals that we set forth just in that of the six. Again, on that roadmap to recovery. Happy to at, were answer any questions. Just remind you, we open up the linda, s, that we have president of state school board on the line to answer them in the superintendent of Public Education. My wife is always available to questions. In addition to rob osbourne who is also available on the line at cpuc. Talk more about his program. As well. R. Galley here always available in a moments notice to answer any questions have. Y univision sacramento. Last week you mentioned undocumented workers are going to get financial help. A lot of calls from viewers who are wondering which organizations are going to up this money, how theyre going to give it out and when . Overnor newsom were contracting with c. B. O. s throughout the state of california. Each will receive a minimum of 5 million. Receive ll substantially more resources because of the partnership, not the with the state but partnership with philanthropy that we announced. A frequently asked question list thats available covid19. Ca. Gov website hich is available in spanish, not just english. We will be putting that process basis, r on an active meaning updating, rather, that the on an active basis, as distribution of those funds are made real. Ll of that should be happening in realtime, those Disaster Assistance funds, we set out to as quickly as possible. Individual. Up to 1,000 per household, distribute it through the organized network of organizations so no privacy concerns are breached s it relates to providing personal information to the state of california and the fear to thehave as it relates public charge of which this will ot impact or affect and more broadly about deportation. The framework. That information is available on that site, and we will update realtime more specifically about which to. O. s and points of access make it easier for individuals and we look forward to your partnership in helping us get there. Formation out 40. Arma, fox reporter hi, governor. Thank you. Couple of questions. First, with respect to the about covid19 along racial lines. I believe it was late last week see those arted to disparities but hadnt yet but showingapparent that africanamerican disproportionately affected. Data with regards to pacific islanders. And so given that the numbers starting to reflect the national trends, what specifically is being done to the disparities within those groups . Dditionally, with regards to testing, i heard what you said testing ing to expand across california. Can you address disparities etween different municipalities . For example, its much easier to a fy to get a test to get test in los angeles than sacramento. The symptoms and preexisting conditions are still being denied because they dont meet the criteria . Working newsom we are to aggressively work to address the disparities. Its one of the principles, Core Principles of the task force is to focus on disparities, disparities as they manifest in forms. Nt let me be specific about what i mean. Here are racial and ethnic disparities, socioeconomic eographics but also agree disparities as it relates to Rural Communities and as it relates to across parts of the even in urban centers which are historically underserved. So the purpose of this task is to define those areas. In fact, today, they provided me map with every one of these areas where what i would testing desert in the state. And then strategies around that address those issues. We do it by time. Meaning, is it a how can we break this down . You will be hearing on wednesday specificallyents targeted at our communities from a geographic lens on how to get more testing sites out there to address these issues. That leads into the first part of your last question. Here are the newest numbers. Changeders radically from weeks ago, the disparities were even present then. 30 ofino community, those who tested positive are within the latino community. 39 of the deaths. Me. Er 31 , forgive 40 tested positive, 31 have sadly died. And it relates to the asian community. It is roughly along the lines that we have seen from day one, 13 and 16 . 13 of the population being passing away. Have tested positive for covid19, but this is the area where you are correct. 11 of the deaths in the past, its now closer to 12 . 12 of the deaths, thats the area of particular concern that is being highlighted. And dr. Angel is here to talk more about and dr. Angell is here to talk more about the numbers and address those numbers. I have had long conversations about this. She is prepared to explain it in language that is less political and more from a health frame and she is right here. I think that will empathize exactly what we are doing about those disparities. Dr. Angell thank you so much for this question. This is an incredibly important area. We know that any time we have an emergency, or some very Impactful Health issues, that those communities who have had the hardest time with the burden of health, poor health, are uniquely affected by it. This covid19 response is exactly the same with that. And these numbers are what we are seeing right now. The speak to it specifically, we know communities of color have a higher burden of illness. That is a reflection of poverty and racism and other things that we know have resulted in an unequitable distribution of disease. We know covid also uniquely increases the risk for death and populations with higher rates of asthma, of diabetes, of cardiovascular disease, and we know they are more unique in these committees. The kinds of responses we need affectede communities by other social conditions. The state and the governor have laid out since the beginning a number of interventions from the beginning that will address these communities and make sure they are receiving resources that help them take time off if they are ill, and be able to also support their families at the time of greatest need. We are working closely with our urban areas in particular. We know some of these areas are more highly concentrated. Let me just say that it is not just about the endpoint of deaths. The inequities these communities experience start much earlier. They start from challenges in seeking care early and getting the care they need. We have policies directly related to this. It also relates to inequities that exist when people to seek care. It relates to issues related to testing. And every step along the way we are looking carefully at these issues to make sure we help address these inequities and take on these inequities we are seeing in Health Outcomes as well when it comes to covid19. Gov. Newsom so these are the deeper systemic issues that the state has been leaning in on precovid19, committed to doing more as a relates to Racial Justice issues, Economic Justice issues, and foundationally are the answers to why. It is also important to note, particularly with the black community, how many younger members have been impacted and ultimately have lost their lives. That is also a subset of this that we are deeply concerned about and deeply focused on as well. I will be meeting with the black caucus via zoom Conference Call this afternoon. I have an africanamerican advisory i will be meeting with after that. This is the top agenda item, and we will continue to advance more perceptive strategies above and beyond what we were doing precovid19 crisis that extend into this crisis, and obviously need to be highlighted as we move out of this crisis as well. Good afternoon. Thank you very much for your time today. Appreciate it. Wanted to ask about the students who will be receiving laptops and chromebooks starting this week. Any Additional Details you can provide on that rollout, and the numbers of devices . And will those also include wifi hotspots . Gov. Newsom as you know, we announced a partnership with google for 100,000 hotspots. Those will start rolling out the first week of may. That is a massive procurement, and a massive logistics effort. The first week of may specifically, as a relates to googles announcement. Google has already distributed they chromebooks, and now are being distributed from our Regional Centers on to, rather and what we rural refer to as lees. Most books are being restricted in realtime. I referenced the ipads from apple, 10,000. With 800ed directly School Districts on that logistics effort. I think they have made public aware specifically those have gone. As it relates to the broader ones, over 70,000 units of enovo,s, surface pros, l chromebooks, so each and every one of those individuals and groups has provided and procure different units, different equipment. And all of those we will make public. All of them will be part of this press release that we will put out right after the conclusion of this press conference. Samantha solomon, abc 10. Reporter hi. I have two questions. First, hundreds of people are gathered outside the capital right now to protest the lockdown and demand california reopen for businesses. This is frustration by personal Economic Hardship and job loss for a lot of these people. What do you want to say to these protesters specifically . And second, the chp granted a permit for this gathering outside the capital, with the original applicants saying there will be 500 participants. Why would the chp granted a permit for the gathering of 500 people during this time of social distancing . I will leave that to chp to answer, and we will get back to you specifically on that. My understanding is he protest that chp has supported has social distancing, physical distancing, that was allowable on the basis of people being in their vehicles and not congregating as a group. Ask our chp spokesperson to get back to you on the details of whatever it is they may have provided in terms of authorization. As a relates to the issue of protest, i will say what i have said on saturday, i will say what i have said last week. Protest,e going to practice physical distancing. If you are going to protest and express your right of free speech, do so anyway that protects not only your health, but the health of others. I deeply understand peoples anxieties. I lead todays remarks by acknowledging not only the anxieties of people that may be actively protesting, but i imagine the anxieties of 40 million californians who are actively participating and advancing our stayathome orders that save lives and has made california a healthier place than some of our original models had projected. But we must have a healthfirst focused if we are ultimately going to come back economically. The worst mistake we can make is making a precipitous decision aced on politics and frustration that puts peoples lives at risk, and ultimately sets back because of Economic Growth and economic sets back the cause of Economic Growth. I hope this can be shared by the protesters as well. There are many other parts of the grill the globe precipitously did move forward by opening up their economies again because of that frustration, only to see that they had to pull back again, singapore being an example of that, components of what china has opened up they have now closed again for that reason. We share we are eager, exactly the same desires and goals to reopen the economy and to address all of the systemic challenges and help support those who are struggling, those most in need. But the way we do that, the way we know to do that, is primarily based upon where the virus is at any given point, and whether or not it is being transmitted, and whether or not we are seeing a reduction in transmissions, a reduction in hospitalizations, a reduction in the number of icus. Those are the determinants. Science, health, will be the determination. Madehe reason last week we public this roadmap to recovery, it is to let folks know we are deeply focused on what that reopening looks like. We just want to do it in a very deliberative and thoughtful way, to keep those protesters safe and to keep those families and the Broader Community in california safe. Josh haskell, abc seven. Reporter hey. Quick question for you. To l. A. Ventura county county, they have relaxed some restrictions when it has come to the stayathome order. They have open some parks, golf courses. I am wondering, on those decisions the county makes, are you consulted on that . What are your thoughts on some counties relaxing the stayathome orders . And are you concerned it may affect a neighboring county like l. A. County, which has much stricter restrictions, folks from l. A. County going to play golf and flood areas and in neighboring county . Gov. Newsom this virus knows no jurisdiction, knows no boundaries. But National Boundaries as well. So the answer to that is yes, we are concerned about that. The answer to the first part is also yes, we were consulted. And i want to just express appreciation to the ventura team that did reach out to my team over the weekend. But here and this is really important is something to understand none of these local Health Directors can go further or rather, go backwards than the state guidance. Terms ofis a cap in the loosening at the local the local level. There is a strengthening at the local level and that can be loosened, but the cap is an expectation that they do not go beyond those state orders. That is in the letter of the law, and that is the thrust of the conversations of communication we had with the county health officials. I deeply appreciate their work to increase enforcement in certain areas, and desire to move and begin to address loosening in other areas. But we want to, as i expressed more broadly, want to see that done in concert with the state of california, legally and otherwise, in the spirit of cooperation. How we got into this to save lives, i want to get out of this with that same spirit in hand. So we are grateful for their outreach and we are working closely with others in california with similar conversations. Reporter along those same lines, my understanding is that a Bipartisan Group of elected officials in San Luis Obispo sent your office a letter asking permission to have them open up their local economy. Healthbased wayward testing and everything like that. I am curious if you are going to allow county to present their own plans for reopening the economy. Ventura pullid back from what they wanted to do . Was this a negotiation your administration had with them . How did that kind of go down . Gov. Newsom i do not want to get too much into the weeds of the conversation, but we talked about parameters, we talked about expectation, we talked about our guidance, we talked about what we thinks conflicted with that. They pointed out things that did not conflict with that, and we found those areas as ones that needed to be adjudicated, discussed, and were discussed over the course of the weekend. Look, the answer to your question about San Luis Obispo is yes. As i said, we recognize that different parts of the state are impacted differently. But also the fact that we are one state, and the impact any collective responsibility we have to one another, neighboring counties and cities, also must be considered. All of that is exactly why last week we put out those terms, those six areas, categories where we are advancing those conversations at the local level, incorporating their thoughts and advice at the same level, and as i said, every wednesday we will be updating you on those categories. Letter, i seen their have been seeing many letters stack up around these conversations, but we expect many more coming in, and we have a process to adjudicate those and to begin to dialogue with our team and their local health teams to make sure that the healthbased decision, not any other type of decisionmaking. Health first. Science and data. Everything else follows from that. With that, let me just extend my appreciation for her patience for being on the phone. Linda, sorry no direct questions. That may be good news. Rob, the same. Thank you for all of your hard work. Thank you all for your partnership and your collaboration. I thank my wife again for all her incredible work over the last few weeks. Very proud of their efforts today and the announcement we are making today. All of us sobered by the need to do so, so much more to address these inequities and disparities, not just in education but as a relates to public health, and to continue to do what we can to close these gaps in realtime time across the spectrum of this economy. And i recognize in closing the deep desire people have to begin best ess of moral more robust conversations, and we are committed to sharing in a transparent way those conversations as they present themselves. And as i said, formally on wednesday, we will be laying out onate on the c cakes the six key areas to give you a sense of where we think we are, and then begin to break down geographic discussions and considerations along the lines of the questions and queries that came in, so people can more fully understand where they as individuals, not just we as a state, are in relationship to the progress made. Gratitude to express to all of you for the progress you have made in continuing to bend the curve. Stayathome orders are still in effect. Deep desire to continue our physical distancing. Trulys the opportunity, bend down the curve, not just see it slow down and flatten. And we of course will be back updating you on a daily basis, including tomorrow at noon. Take care, everybody. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay connected to your loved ones, but physically distanced. Thank you so much.
