The quality access for equity hurricane laura already in terms of testing, we are deadly as we check in with moving in a new direction. Tyler. I know they mentioned the report of 15 feet coming up lets give you an overview of where we are in terms of what here. I have heard of to 20 feet in we are currently doing with surge. Some say that is on survivable. Testing in california. That is the exact wording we average 100,000 tests every the National Weather service use. It is on survivable. Day. A few weeks ago it was over 100 that caught my attention, and i hope the attention of everyone. This is a beast of a storm. 32,000. We have been challenged by this heatwave and by these category 4 hurricane. Wildfires. Lets put that slide to test hurricane laura is sitting roughly 100,000 or so tests per right off the coast. Day. The average turnaround time we that is a loop of the last 12 have seen go north of 10 days hours. It is starting to cast bands of rain on the louisiana and in some cases up to 13 coastline. Days. We are currently averaging windsor sustained at 140 miles anywhere from 5 up to seven per hour. This is the problem. Days. A hurricane is lockwise each and every day is a precious day in terms of the circulation. It pushes the water up. Test results. Once you get past a few days, normally you have normal sea they lose their meaning and level and a little bit of ocean significance in terms of our capacity to mitigate the surge. Storm surge particles the water exposure and spread of the up along the coast. That is why we get those numbers of 12 feet to 15 feet disease and do the kind of work that needs to be done in terms deep. Of the contact tracing, quarantine, and isolation. That is the most deadly portion when you are north of 12 days, the tests are quite useless. They are also quite expensive. Of the storm. The shows you the track and you the average cost of a molecular can see it strengthening. A lot of warm water in the gulf diet gnostic tests, pcr tests, right now that helps to strengthen it. It will ramp down and dissipate as it moves off to the north the average cost of those tests and the east. A very nasty system there. Send them all of your best thoughts, everybody. In the bay area, quiet weather is 150 200. It is quite significant. And a pervasive marine layer. Considered the state of california has done shy of 11 million tests. Do the math. Temperatures are cooler because of that marine layer. Mid60s, santa rosa. Averaging anywhere from 150 66, napa. 72, san jose. 200. The extraordinary cost of that diagnostic. We are moving in a different direction to disrupt the heres the difference. Market. By partnering with someone who santa rosa, 7 degrees cooler. Oakland, 4 degrees cooler. Our wind is calm. You see a bit of a delta has had four kids, the breeze. We are going to see the winds rampup. Warmer temperatures perkinelmer test that many of you that of had a newborn baby inland and that will set up the are familiar with. We have a partnership with them wind for this afternoon. And we are doing to gnomic diagnostic testing over 30 sfo is 20 miles per hour. Hazy skies will be with us. Low 90s inland. That has everything to do with years. They are a partner that has proven to be effective and that marine layer helping us out on the coast. Efficient and reliable for decades in this state. Mid80s and santa rosa. They are moving and have moved aggressively in this space. As a consequence of the oakland, 72. Partnership that goes back a couple of 90s out there in morgan hill and antioch. Even conquered dropping out of years, and investigation of what is available in the market those 90s. This is our air quality right today by our testing task now. This changes by the minute. Weve got a lot of green and force, a Needs Analysis put together over the course of the last number of months, we have formalized the partnership with yellow dots. That is a step in the right perkinelmer to build out a new direction. We are under a spare the air alert through friday. The same area seeing the worst laboratory in california with their capacity to provide the of it. But, i did look at the forecast full supply chain in reagents for the airquality. And roughly 20 different if we stay the same as we are ingredients that go in to a test. The state will be accountable right now, i saturday we will start to see significant for logistics, billing, and we improvement. We will see a slight warmup as we head through the rest of the have other work that we are responsible for doing. This provides us the ability to week. Friday will likely be the have much more stability. The warmest day. A little bit of cooled down as we go through the weekend. We do not see an extreme temperature.

Essential workers, and to address the issue of the supply chain constraints that we think will only grow. And to provide, as we say, some still to come, it is day three of the Republican National convention. We will take a closer look. Insurance against what we lazily referred to as a twindemic of the flu and covid season to provide guarantees in terms of time for results and ultimately drive down the cost for everybody. This is exactly what the federal government should be doing. Had they done this earlier, you would not see tests costing taxpayers tens of billions of dollars and employers billions and billions of dollars and the health plans billions of dollars as well. We think by advancing this partnership as only california can with the scale of our purchasing power and the need to test more people in this state than any other state in this nation, we can use that market scalability to drive down costs across the spectrum. For medicaid and medical and of course reimbursing over 100 per test. California is committing to a diagnostic Testing Partnership that will provide an additional 150,000 tests per day. We are averaging over 100,000 tests per day. We were doing north of 45,000 before the wildfires. This is additive and not a substitute. All the existing testing protocols in place, all the partnerships with our labs up and down the state, and some of the more mobile testing sites, we are looking to disrupt the costs of that system, but not access to those tests and diagnostics. We want to add on top of it. What is significant in this partnership as we are demanding test results back within 24 hours and at the latest hours. We have provisions to guarantee that 48 hours or 24 hours, we have the ability to make decisions in real time to reopen our schools and in person education. Reopen in a more sustainable manner. And by the way, we will put out those guidelines friday in terms of the new strategies that we are advancing as it relates to reopening based on some of the positive news that we will advance here in a moment in terms of our Positivity Rate and our hospitalizations. On testing, that is foundational bowl. We have to have the Testing Capacity and the results in a more efficient period of time and allow us to make us decisions on contact tracing. Here is the new cost breakdown. 150 200 is the average per test. Under this new partnership, up to 40,000 tests the cost per test will be 47. 99. Lets take the lower end of the average. One third of the cost of the an Investigation Underway in a deadly crash on 680 near the north main street offramp. Current costs per test. Three people were killed. The driver is an 18yearold if we get our tests up to 100,000, that price will drop from fairfield. Down to 37. 78. The woman was going to fast and lost control before hitting a if we reach 150,000 testing tree head on. A funeral today for a san capacity, which is part of this quentin state prison guard who died from the coronavirus. Contract, we will get the tests down to 30. 78. So cost of tests 150 200 family and friends gathered costing you as taxpayers and have gotten the diagnostic test of your employer, insurance, or taxpayer subsidized insurance. For the surface this morning in san jose. The service was limited doing we will bring those costs down to a little over 30 per test. Covid19. We have new contract protections. We went to Great Lengths to put the army veteran worked at the prison for 34 years. His family says they believe he these protections into this contracted the virus after contract. By the way, we will make it infected inmates were brought from chino state prison. He was 55 years old. Public. This is a contract for the kenosha, wisconsin, two people were killed. Labs, thirdparty payment, mike tobin has the story. These are independent contracts. All of those contracts will be made public. They will be forthcoming. They have best price guarantees. Reporter violence on the streets of kenosha. Police and protesters clashing with cops once again deploying lets be specific about what tear gas to disperse the crowd. That means. If this partnership develops an Additional Partnership to bring down costs even lower than demonstrations perspective the video showing this man shot in the back by police seven times. 30. 78, our contract requires the best price guarantee. Overnight, at least three people were shot, two fatally if there is new technology, and we are working to advance despite pleas for deescalation by blakes family. Because we want to see innovation and new technology if he knew what was going to really drive down the cost on, the violence and the of diagnostics and access the testing. We want it within minutes and destruction, he would be very and please. Not days. We recognize that is the direction we are heading as a nation. Reporter jacob blake is we have provisions that protect paralyzed from the waist down. The taxpayers and protect us in it will take a miracle for him to walk again. They are preparing a civil suit this contract. They provide the technology, or against the police department. We can opt out and partner with those that do.
