San franciscos Deputy Health officer doctor Susan Phillips says initial testing of all 2500 Skilled Nursing residents and 2500 School Nursing staff, well take about a month. Then the goal be to do it every 2 weeks. Initially thought was that it was either cough shortness of breath and if we saw those sometimes the contest, those people. Now we are recognizing that a lot of people to not show symptoms and particularly and setting such a Skilled Nursing facility that can and quickly spread for resident to stop to a residence. We dont want that to happen outbreaks and congregate living facilities like laguna honda have been common across the country. Medical experts say the answers the testing provides will go a long way. If you test positive to need to go into isolation so they dont transmit the virus to anyone else. If theyve been exposed to test negative that need to go into quarantine so if they become sick, theyre not going to transmit the virus.

And we finally hear from joe biden today regarding today this is after a month of silence former Vice President joe biden finally responded publicly to the allegation that he sexually assaulted a Senate Staffer in 1993. Reporter mj lee has the story. It is not true are saying unequivocally it never never happened to didnt for the first time joe biden personally addressing a assault allegation dating back to 1993 this never ever happened. I dont know what is motivating her. I dont know what. I dont know whats behind any of it. But its a relevant and never happened. It never happened. Im not going to start questioning her. Her motive, im not going to get into that im not going to start im not going go after terror read for saying these things. Its simple. What are the facts to any of the things she said do they add up. The Presumptive Democratic nominee for president to fiat and unequivocal denying that he sexually assaulted tara reid and 8 in bidens Senate Office in the early 1990s re telling cnn that in 1993 she was ordered to take a duffel bag to her boss. The corridor somewhere on capitol hill read alleging that biden had her up against a wall spread open her legs with his knee and put his fingers inside of her. Read also among multiple women who said publicly last year that she experienced physical interactions with biden that made her feel uncomfortable. But none of those women including read at the time accused biden of assault. Read alleging she complained to multiple colleagues in bidens Senate Office in 1993 about harassment but not about the alleged assault biden saying such a complaint does not exist. Im confident theres nothing no one ever brought to the attention of may 27 years ago, this is any assertion at all. No one that im aware of in my campaign at times she might my Senate Office of the time is aware of any request. Or any such complaint. That was and j lee reporting i talk to our political analyst today about finds strong denial and it wasnt the first time again that his. Publicly addressed this accusation. One of the things so our analysts wanted to talk about the fact biden is not willing to release his personal Senate Papers at this point. Your mind is running for president and he doesnt want to show you the papers in delaware that relate to his time as a senator we know why joe bidens has taken many positions that are far out of balance with the base of his party on Social Security on medicare on deportations and who knows what else. He pointedly said today that he didnt want them to disclose because theres positions there that would be taken out of context. We should know what those positions are and then people should be able to make judgments on it and the fact that hes not complain release her tax rouse. About papers that relate to his time in Public Office is never going to be sold as him being forthcoming and it looks like hes hiding something the fact is that this is a president who for the past 3 years has consistently refuse to allow examination of his tax returns with regard to president ial president and be and more importantly. The impact of all of his financial act to actions as president. And the emoluments clause in the constitution. The fact that theyre refusing to even go there. I think is really. Actually put it. Very bold of them to make that kind of statement about joe biden win there theyve been steadfast in refusing to release his tax returns with the guards, the monuments clause, prominent democrats including democratic women. Said women should be believed essentially that was during the kavanaugh hearings. But many now of either been silent or they are supporting joe biden might that change. I dont think it will change i think that whats interesting is that theres going to be a lot of conflation going on here and conflation between something that joe biden said in 2019 versus the most recent iteration of this allegation which and actually the more that that turned into an assault which is just only very recently i think is going to be instead i would instructing people to take a look at the timelines that have been put out by by media like the post or the New York Times about how ms. Rees allegations have have changed and and altered slightly or in thats a slight ways over time look i dont know. Whether it happened or not few people do and probably only 2 people on earth truly know that. We know that answer but again, this is a bad timing thing and look lets face it. This is the first time joe biden has spoken out about it. The media has scrutinized for every aspect of trumps existence. The Democrat Party is done not bait, tried to subpoena his private records. So joe biden not saying his records arent going to be fully forthcoming and the like. And is this sense of how theyre hiding something and thats not helping him at a point in time where he needs to be on message as to what he wants to do for the country.
