| 00:00:01 | WELL, HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO
EVERYONE. |
| 00:00:04 | OUR GOAL IS THAT NEXT
ST. PATRICK'S DAY, EVERYONE |
| 00:00:07 | WILL BE
ABLE GO THEIR LOCAL BAR, |
| 00:00:10 | PUB, RESTAURANT, WHEREVER THEY
WANT, |
| 00:00:12 | TO CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK'S DAY
AND GET A GUINNESS OR. |
| 00:00:18 | CORNBREAD, CORNED BEEF, LITTLE
CORNED BEEF, LITTLE CABBAGE |
| 00:00:22 | AND CORNBREAD, TOO, IF THEY WANT
THAT. WHATEVER THEY WANT |
| 00:00:26 | TO KIND OF TELL US WERE HOW FAST
THINGS ARE MOVING. |
| 00:00:30 | IT WAS JUST TWO WEEKS AGO TODAY
THAT WE HAD OUR ANNOUNCEMENT |
| 00:00:33 | ABOUT
THE AHNOLD. |
| 00:00:35 | SO WHEN WE TRIED TO UNDERSTAND
WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE |
| 00:00:39 | TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY,
THAT SORT OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA. |
| 00:00:45 | THINGS ARE CONTENT WILL CONTINUE
TO MOVE VERY, VERY QUICKLY AND |
| 00:00:49 | THE WORLD WILL LOOK DIFFERENT,
SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IN TWO |
| 00:00:53 | WEEKS
THAN IT DOES TODAY. |
| 00:00:56 | FOR OUR VIEWERS AT HOME,
OUR SETUP IS DIFFERENT TODAY. |
| 00:01:02 | WE ARE WORKING TO COMPLY
AND ARE COMPLYING WITH THE |
| 00:01:07 | SUGGESTION FROM THE PRESIDENT
IN REGARD TO NOT HAVING |
| 00:01:11 | MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE IN A ROOM.
WE HAVE A MUCH BIGGER PRESS |
| 00:01:15 | CORPS THAN THAT.
AND SO WE HAVE |
| 00:01:19 | OUR MEDIA IN
TWO DIFFERENT ROOMS |
| 00:01:24 | AND WE ARE HERE IN A SEPARATE
ROOM. |
| 00:01:26 | THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT'S CALLED
THE STATE ROOM IN THE |
| 00:01:30 | CAPITOL BUILDING HERE IN
IN COLUMBUS. |
| 00:01:34 | LET ME.
TELL YOU WHO'S HERE. |
| 00:01:38 | DR ANDY THOMAS IS
HERE, MIKE ABRAMS OF THE |
| 00:01:41 | HOSPITAL
ASSOCIATION IS HERE. |
| 00:01:44 | WE HAVE TAMARA MCBRIDE,
WHO IS THE HEALTH PREPAREDNESS |
| 00:01:49 | DIRECTOR FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH. |
| 00:01:53 | WE ALSO, OF COURSE, HAVE DR. AMY
ACTON AND THE LIEUTENANT |
| 00:01:57 | GOVERNOR, JOHN HUSTED.
LET ME START |
| 00:02:02 | WITH YESTERDAY'S
ANNOUNCEMENT IN REGARD TO |
| 00:02:07 | THE ELECTION.
WE HAVE. |
| 00:02:12 | FIRST OF ALL, LET ME JUST KIND
OF |
| 00:02:14 | OUTLINE OUR GOALS.
OUR GOAL IS THAT EVERYBODY THAT |
| 00:02:18 | WANTS TO VOTE WILL BE ABLE TO
VOTE. |
| 00:02:21 | OUR GOAL IS THAT NO ONE
WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN |
| 00:02:24 | THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND |
| 00:02:26 | RISKING
THEIR HEALTH. |
| 00:02:28 | THE DECISION THAT WE
MADE IN REGARD TO |
| 00:02:33 | THE DOCTOR ACTING IN
HER ORDER MADE |
| 00:02:37 | IS A ORDER THAT I
FULLY SUPPORT. |
| 00:02:40 | IT WAS MADE IN THE BEST
INTERESTS |
| 00:02:42 | OF THE PEOPLE, THE STATE OF
OHIO. |
| 00:02:46 | WE HAD 35000 POLL WORKERS
WHO WERE GOING TO BE SHOWING UP |
| 00:02:50 | THIS MORNING.
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO |
| 00:02:56 | INTO YOUR POLLING BOOTH,
MANY, MANY TIMES YOU'LL SEE |
| 00:03:00 | FAMILIAR
FACES. YOU'LL SEE PEOPLE WHO |
| 00:03:01 | HAVE
BEEN THERE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, |
| 00:03:03 | DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN, WHO
WERE |
| 00:03:05 | MAN THOSE MOVES
AND WHO RUN OUR ELECTIONS |
| 00:03:09 | AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
WE'LL FIND SOME OF THEM |
| 00:03:14 | OR 65 YEARS OF
AGE AND OLDER, SOME OF THEM |
| 00:03:17 | EVEN SIGNIFICANTLY MORE OLDER
THAN |
| 00:03:19 | THAT.
SO ONE OF OUR CONSIDERATIONS |
| 00:03:22 | YESTERDAY WAS NOT TO EXPOSE
THEM. |
| 00:03:25 | ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW
ABOUT |
| 00:03:27 | THIS VIRUS IS THAT MANY TIMES WE
DO NOT. |
| 00:03:31 | INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE THIS DO NOT
KNOW THEY HAVE IT YET. |
| 00:03:35 | AND SO A PERSON IN ALL GOOD
CONSCIOUS COULD BE GOING TO VOTE |
| 00:03:38 | AND THEY COULD BE SPREADING.
AND AGAIN, FOR THOSE POLL |
| 00:03:42 | WORKERS
FOR 13 HOURS TO BE |
| 00:03:44 | SITTING THERE,
WE FELT DR. ACTON FELT |
| 00:03:48 | HEALTH DEPARTMENT FELT
WAS NOT SAFE. |
| 00:03:52 | CONVERSELY, WE COULD HAVE POLL
WORKERS WHO ALSO HAD THE VIRUS |
| 00:03:56 | AND DID NOT KNOW THAT AND DID
NOT |
| 00:03:58 | KNOW THAT THEY WOULD BE
SPREADING |
| 00:03:59 | THAT.
SO WE FELT THAT THIS WOULD BE |
| 00:04:03 | A REAL, REAL DISASTER.
THAT'S WHY THE ORDER BY |
| 00:04:08 | DR. ACTON WAS ISSUED LAST
NIGHT SHORTLY AFTER |
| 00:04:12 | AFTER 10:00, 10 P.M.
AS WE MOVE FORWARD. |
| 00:04:19 | THERE ARE.
VERY GOOD SOLUTIONS OUT THERE, |
| 00:04:23 | EITHER BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OR BY THE COURTS. |
| 00:04:28 | AGAIN, OUR GOAL MUST BE THAT
PEOPLE |
| 00:04:30 | HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE,
THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF TIME |
| 00:04:34 | TO DO
THAT. |
| 00:04:36 | AND AT WHATEVER ORDER
WE END UP WITH GIVES |
| 00:04:40 | THEM A SIGNIFICANT
PERIOD OF TIME. |
| 00:04:45 | AND THE REASON I SAY THIS IS
BECAUSE |
| 00:04:47 | WE ARE ENTERING
A MORE DIFFICULT TIME AND |
| 00:04:51 | WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE AND
MORE OF |
| 00:04:52 | OUR CITIZENS WHO BECOME
ILL. |
| 00:04:56 | AND WE NEED TO ALLOW
THOSE CITIZENS WHO BECOME ILL |
| 00:05:02 | TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AT SOME |
| 00:05:05 | POINT
TO VOTE. AND THE LONGER WE CAN |
| 00:05:07 | SPREAD THAT TIME OUT,
THE BETTER THAT IS. |
| 00:05:11 | WE PRESENTED A PLAN.
IT'S A PLAN THAT |
| 00:05:17 | WE FELT WOULD
PRESERVE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS, EXTEND |
| 00:05:22 | THOSE RIGHTS.
SET THE ELECTION AT JUNE 2ND |
| 00:05:27 | WITH AMPLE OPPORTUNITY
FOR VOTING TO OCCUR |
| 00:05:33 | FROM BASICALLY AFTER
THIS ELECTION OR AFTER THIS |
| 00:05:36 | ELECTION
DAY ITSELF. |
| 00:05:39 | MY UNDERSTANDING FROM FRANK
LA ROSE IS THEY HAVE 10 |
| 00:05:43 | DAYS.
THEN YOU YOU KNOW WHAT ALL |
| 00:05:45 | VOTES ARE
IN AT THAT POINT, YOU KNOW WHO |
| 00:05:47 | IS
NOT VOTED. |
| 00:05:48 | AND YOU CAN MOVE ON AT THAT
POINT OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER |
| 00:05:52 | TO AN ABSENTEE BALLOT
REGIMENT, ABSENTEE BALLOT |
| 00:05:56 | PROGRAMS OR SOMETHING THAT THE
SECRETARY OF STATE RUNS. |
| 00:06:00 | THEY KNOW HOW TO RUN THEM.
AND OUR SUGGESTION, |
| 00:06:05 | JUNE 2ND, VOTING, AN AMPLE
LONG VOTING |
| 00:06:09 | IN REGARD TO ABSENTEE BALLOTS
WAS |
| 00:06:10 | MADE IN CONJUNCTION WITH WORKING
WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE. |
| 00:06:14 | AGAIN, WANT TO THANK HIM?
I WANT TO THANK ALL HIS TEAM. |
| 00:06:18 | I WANT TO THANK ALL OF EVERYONE
ACROSS THE STATE OF OHIO, LOCAL |
| 00:06:22 | BOARDS OF ELECTIONS
AS WE MOVE MOVE ON THROUGH THIS. |
| 00:06:28 | LET ME AGAIN JUST
REITERATE, |
| 00:06:33 | WE ARE OPEN FOR JUST CERTAINLY
FOR DISCUSSION |
| 00:06:37 | ABOUT HOW THIS GETS WORKED OUT.
IT'S REALLY A FAIRLY SIMPLE |
| 00:06:41 | THING TO
DO, AND THAT IS TO HAVE A |
| 00:06:43 | SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF TIME.
AND I WILL INSIST UPON A |
| 00:06:46 | SIGNIFICANT
PERIOD OF TIME SO THAT PEOPLE |
| 00:06:49 | HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE.
ARE NORMAL PRIMARY WOULD |
| 00:06:55 | HAVE BEEN IN MAY
BECAUSE IT'S A PRESIDENTIAL |
| 00:07:00 | ELECTION
YEAR IS HELD IN MARCH. |
| 00:07:03 | SO WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME
TO HOLD AN ELECTION TO CONTINUE |
| 00:07:07 | THIS ELECTION AND TO MOVE
MOVE US FORWARD. |
| 00:07:11 | LET ME MOVE ON TO A COUPLE
OTHER ISSUES. |
| 00:07:16 | I THINK ARE
SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE IN OHIO |
| 00:07:20 | WHO ARE MAKING SACRIFICES AND
WHO |
| 00:07:22 | ARE DOING JUST AMAZING WORK.
I WANNA THANK OUR FELLOW OHIOANS |
| 00:07:25 | WHO CONTINUE EACH DAY
TO SERVE THE MOST VULNERABLE |
| 00:07:30 | MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY.
THEY ARE DOING THIS AT GREAT |
| 00:07:36 | SACRIFICE.
THESE ARE PEOPLE |
| 00:07:40 | SOME CONTRACTED, SOME
STATE EMPLOYEES WHO PROVIDE |
| 00:07:44 | ESSENTIAL DIRECT CARE,
DIRECT CARE FOR |
| 00:07:48 | OUR FELLOW CITIZENS
WHO WERE DEVELOPMENTALLY |
| 00:07:52 | DISABLED AS WELL
AS OUR ELDERLY COMMUNITY. |
| 00:07:56 | SO A LITTLE SHOUT OUT TO THEM.
I KNOW THEY'VE HAD TO JUGGLE |
| 00:08:00 | THINGS
WITH THEIR FAMILIES. |
| 00:08:02 | THEY CONTINUE TO SHOW UP.
THIS IS ESSENTIAL CARE |
| 00:08:06 | FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO WAVE,
CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THEIR HOMES |
| 00:08:09 | AND
PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO |
| 00:08:11 | GET THROUGH EACH AND EVERY DAY
AND |
| 00:08:13 | HAVE THE BEST QUALITY OF LIFE
THAT THAT IS POSSIBLE. |
| 00:08:17 | SO THANK YOU.
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR |
| 00:08:20 | THAT
FOR THAT WORK. |
| 00:08:24 | I WANT TO TALK FOR A
MOMENT ABOUT |
| 00:08:28 | ONE OF OUR CHALLENGES THAT WE
KNOW |
| 00:08:30 | IS COMING
AND THAT IS OUR HOSPITAL |
| 00:08:34 | CAPACITY.
AND MAKING SURE THAT WHEN |
| 00:08:38 | THIS HITS HARD,
WE ARE READY FOR IT. |
| 00:08:44 | GO BACK TO THE DISCUSSION
ABOUT THE CURVE. |
| 00:08:47 | AGAIN, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO
IS |
| 00:08:48 | FLATTEN THIS AS MUCH AS WE CAN
SO THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE SPIKE |
| 00:08:52 | THAT WE SEE THAT HAS OCCURRED
IN ITALY. |
| 00:08:55 | SO WE DO NOT WE'RE NOT IN A
SITUATION WHERE |
| 00:09:00 | WE'RE OVERRUN, WHERE
WE DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT, WE |
| 00:09:03 | DON'T HAVE THE OFF THE
PERSONNEL. |
| 00:09:06 | THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT ARE
VERY, |
| 00:09:08 | VERY SIGNIFICANT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WORRY |
| 00:09:17 | ABOUT,
NOT HAVING ENOUGH BEDS, |
| 00:09:21 | NOT HAVING ENOUGH VENTILATORS,
NOT HAVING ENOUGH PERSONAL |
| 00:09:25 | PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
FOR THE INDIVIDUAL DOCTORS. |
| 00:09:31 | WE ALREADY HAVE TALKED
A FEW DAYS AGO ABOUT OUR REQUEST |
| 00:09:35 | TO DENTISTS
INTERVENTION AREAS, AND WE THANK |
| 00:09:38 | THEM FOR THEIR WORK IN THIS
AREA TO REALLY POSTPONE |
| 00:09:44 | ALL BUT THE ESSENTIAL SURGERY
THAT |
| 00:09:46 | REALLY, REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE
PLACE. |
| 00:09:48 | ANY ELECTIVE SURGERY
THAT PRESERVES THAT EQUIPMENT, |
| 00:09:52 | PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT,
FOR |
| 00:09:53 | EXAMPLE.
AND THAT MAKES MORE MORE |
| 00:09:56 | OF THAT AVAILABLE
AT THIS POINT. |
| 00:09:59 | I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DR. AMY
ACTON, WHO'S GOING TO TALK |
| 00:10:04 | ABOUT THIS AND
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE |
| 00:10:07 | GOING
TO BE DOING. |
| 00:10:09 | WE ARE GOING TO BE ISSUING AN
ORDER |
| 00:10:11 | TODAY THAT
IS COMPLIANT |
| 00:10:16 | AND IS CONSISTENT WITH
AN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT |
| 00:10:20 | SURGERIES AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
IN OUR HOSPITALS. |
| 00:10:24 | SO THAT, AGAIN, WE CAN PRESERVE
PERSONNEL, WE CAN PRESERVE BEDS, |
| 00:10:28 | WE CAN PRESERVE THE PERSONAL
EQUIPMENT PROTECTION EQUIPMENT |
| 00:10:32 | THAT'S NEEDED AS WE
MOVE FORWARD INTO A MORE |
| 00:10:37 | A MORE DIFFICULT TIME.
DR. ACTON. |
| 00:10:46 | GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.
THERE'S THAT THERE'S SO MUCH I |
| 00:10:50 | WANT
TO SHARE WITH YOU. |
| 00:10:52 | BUT WE HAVE A LOT.
WE HAVE OUR GUESTS HERE TODAY |
| 00:10:55 | WHO WE TALKING A LOT MORE
ABOUT WHY EVERY THING YOU'RE |
| 00:10:59 | DOING, EVERY PERSON
AND EVERYTHING WE DO RIGHT NOW |
| 00:11:03 | REALLY DOES MATTER.
AND TOMORROW, I'M GOING TO TALK |
| 00:11:08 | A LITTLE BIT MORE. I WAS JUST
HAD A |
| 00:11:10 | RADIO SHOW WITH MY HOMETOWN
OF YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO. |
| 00:11:14 | DAN RIVERS THERE.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT |
| 00:11:17 | HOW DO WE GET HERE?
I KNOW THIS IS SO MUCH FOR |
| 00:11:19 | EVERYONE
TO BE TAKING IN. |
| 00:11:21 | AND I'M GOING TO GO BACK
THROUGH THE |
| 00:11:23 | HISTORY OF THIS TOMORROW.
AND WE ARE ALSO GETTING THE |
| 00:11:28 | PAST OHIO NEWS NETWORK
CLIPS OF SORT OF THE WHAT |
| 00:11:32 | HAVE BECOME A LITTLE BIT OF LIKE
PUBLIC HEALTH, ONE OR ONE |
| 00:11:35 | LECTURES ALL PUT TOGETHER FOR
USE. |
| 00:11:37 | YOU CAN KIND OF FOLLOW THIS,
BECAUSE |
| 00:11:39 | I THINK WE EACH COME TO THIS
AWARENESS AT OUR OWN TIME |
| 00:11:42 | AND IN OUR OWN WAY.
BUT AGAIN, TIMING IS |
| 00:11:46 | EVERYTHING.
AND. |
| 00:11:49 | BUT PLEASE KNOW WE WILL GET
THROUGH |
| 00:11:50 | THIS TOGETHER. AND WHAT I'M
ABOUT TO |
| 00:11:52 | DESCRIBE TO YOU IS WHAT
WE SEE AS COMING. |
| 00:11:55 | BUT WHEN WE MAKE THESE CHOICES
WE'RE |
| 00:11:57 | MAKING AND THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
MAKING AND OTHER GOVERNORS AND |
| 00:12:00 | LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE
MAKING, THIS REALLY IS GOING |
| 00:12:03 | TO GET US THROUGH IT.
AND A LOT SOONER. |
| 00:12:07 | IN A SENSE, A LOT
BETTER WAY. |
| 00:12:09 | BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT WHAT YOU WERE YOU'RE DOING |
| 00:12:13 | IS
REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE. |
| 00:12:16 | SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SAY
THAT |
| 00:12:17 | THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT STUDY
THAT CAME OUT IN THE UNITED |
| 00:12:22 | KINGDOM
BY DR. FERGUSON AND WAS |
| 00:12:24 | DONE BY THE IMPERIAL COLLEGE.
AND THEY'RE REALLY TAKING A |
| 00:12:28 | LOOK AT
THE VERY, VERY BEST MODELING AND |
| 00:12:30 | DATA WE HAVE. WE KNOW THAT OUR
SCIENCE CHANGES EVERY |
| 00:12:33 | DAY, EVERY HOUR.
BUT YOU CAN SEE IN THE PRESS |
| 00:12:37 | CONFERENCE THE PRESIDENT HAD
YESTERDAY. THIS IS THE VERY SAME |
| 00:12:40 | DATA THAT HIS TEAM IS USING,
THE MODELS THAT THEY ARE |
| 00:12:44 | LOOKING AT.
WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH SOME OF |
| 00:12:46 | THE
NEW GUIDANCE, ABOUT 10 |
| 00:12:48 | PEOPLE IN A ROOM ABOUT
SOCIAL DISTANCING, ABOUT REALLY |
| 00:12:52 | SEEKING THAT IF YOU'RE OVER 65,
TO STAY AT HOME. |
| 00:12:56 | AND AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
DATA |
| 00:12:58 | BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO END TO A
CURVE |
| 00:13:00 | A LITTLE MORE DEEPLY.
SO FIRST OF ALL, REMEMBER |
| 00:13:03 | THAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING ALL
ALONG IS THAT WE'RE SAVING |
| 00:13:06 | LIVES, EVERY ONE OF US.
THAT DOESN'T SPREAD IT TO |
| 00:13:09 | SOMEONE
ELSE. LOG RHYTHMICALLY WITH |
| 00:13:11 | THE DOUBLING TIME OF EVERY SIX
DAYS |
| 00:13:14 | IS KEEPING LESS OF US GETTING
THIS |
| 00:13:16 | SO IMPORTANT.
BUT THAT'S ONE PART OF A COUPLE |
| 00:13:19 | OF
MITIGATION STRATEGIES. |
| 00:13:21 | THERE'S ACTUALLY FOUR LAYERS.
WE CALL IT EARLY TARGETED |
| 00:13:25 | LAYERED INTERVENTIONS.
AND I WANT TO TALK TO YOU WHY WE |
| 00:13:28 | HAVE TO DO ALL OF THEM.
WE HAVE TO DO ALL OF THEM NOW. |
| 00:13:31 | SO IF WE COULD BRING UP
A SECOND CHART HERE. |
| 00:13:41 | BUT THIS WAS A STUDY THAT'S BEEN
DONE IN THE UK |
| 00:13:45 | AND WHAT THIS STUDY LOOKED LIKE
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT |
| 00:13:47 | IN
THE MEDIA TODAY AND I DON'T WANT |
| 00:13:48 | PEOPLE TO BECOME OVERLY
FRIGHTENED AGAIN. |
| 00:13:51 | WE PROMISED SO LONG AGO TO TELL
YOU WHAT WE KNOW AND WE KNOW IT |
| 00:13:55 | AND TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
AND SOMETIMES THIS TRUTH IS |
| 00:13:57 | GONNA BE
A BIT SCARY. |
| 00:13:59 | BUT THE POINT OF THIS IS
THAT THIS STUDY WAS DONE |
| 00:14:03 | LOOKING AS
IF WE DID NOTHING. |
| 00:14:05 | AND THEN IT LOOKS VERY CAREFULLY
AT EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING AND |
| 00:14:09 | WHY
COLLECTIVELY IT WILL MAKE A |
| 00:14:10 | DIFFERENCE.
SO WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN TALKING |
| 00:14:13 | ABOUT
THE CURVE. |
| 00:14:16 | AND IF WE DID NOTHING
AGAIN, I'LL REFER YOU TO THE |
| 00:14:20 | U.K.
STUDY BY FERGUSON. |
| 00:14:22 | WE WOULD SEE THAT VARIOUS
MORE SCARY, SHARP, STEEP CLIMB |
| 00:14:27 | THAT WE SAW IN WUHAN.
AND |
| 00:14:32 | EVERYTHING WE DO FROM DOING
NOTHING. |
| 00:14:35 | TO ISOLATING CASES
AND THE CAREFUL TRAVEL MEASURES |
| 00:14:39 | AND
ALL THE THINGS WE DID ORIGINALLY |
| 00:14:41 | TO NOW CLOSING SCHOOLS AND
UNIVERSITIES AND |
| 00:14:45 | ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE CLOSING
DOWN NOW TO THE EXTREME OF WHAT |
| 00:14:48 | WE NOW SEE, I'M IN SAN FRANCISCO
WHERE MY BOYS YESTERDAY |
| 00:14:54 | WERE TOLD TO SHELTER IN PLACE.
I HAVE TWO BOYS, 28 AND 26, |
| 00:14:57 | JAKE AND SAM.
AND. |
| 00:14:59 | AND THAT THOSE MEASURES BECAUSE
THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT FARTHER |
| 00:15:02 | AHEAD
THAN WHERE OHIO IS RIGHT NOW |
| 00:15:04 | AND ARE
SPREAD. |
| 00:15:06 | ALL THOSE THINGS START
TO DECREASE THE TIME. |
| 00:15:09 | SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO
EXTEND |
| 00:15:11 | THIS TIME A LITTLE BIT.
YOU KNOW, WE ALL WANT THIS OVER |
| 00:15:14 | QUICKLY, BUT WE HAVE TO EXTEND
THE TIME AND SLOW THE |
| 00:15:17 | SPREAD BECAUSE THAT DECREASES
THE PEAK. |
| 00:15:20 | EARLY ON, I TOLD YOU THAT
SOME OF THE EARLY MODELING WAS |
| 00:15:24 | SAYING WE MIGHT PEAK AT LATE
APRIL, |
| 00:15:26 | MID MAY.
AND AGAIN, MY INITIAL NUMBERS |
| 00:15:29 | WERE
BASED ON NO INTERVENTIONS, |
| 00:15:31 | WHICH IS WHY WE HAD TO DO OUR
INTERVENTIONS QUICKLY. |
| 00:15:35 | AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS THAT
PEAK, |
| 00:15:37 | YOU CAN SEE THE PEAK STARTING TO
SPREAD A LITTLE BIT. |
| 00:15:40 | WE WILL SLOW IT DOWN.
THERE'S NO SCENARIO NOW |
| 00:15:43 | BY WHICH WE WON'T HAVE A SURGE.
BUT IF WE DID NOTHING, THE |
| 00:15:48 | ESTIMATES
WERE THAT 2.2 MILLION AMERICANS |
| 00:15:51 | WOULD DIE.
AND IF WE DO THESE MEASURES |
| 00:15:54 | IN THE ABSOLUTE WAY THEY'RE
INTENDED, AGAIN, WE HAVE |
| 00:15:58 | NO VACCINE. THERE ARE NO OTHER
THINGS. THESE ARE ONLY TOOLS. |
| 00:16:01 | BUT IF WE DO THEM, WE CAN
CUT THAT HOSPITAL SURGE |
| 00:16:04 | BY THESE AUTHORS EXAMPLE
BY TWO THIRDS. |
| 00:16:09 | WHAT WE'RE DOING CAN EVERY ONE
OF US |
| 00:16:11 | CAN HELP CONTRIBUTE TO THAT?
AND IT WILL DECREASE OUR DEATHS |
| 00:16:15 | BY
HALF. |
| 00:16:16 | AND AS I SAID, THE SURGE, AS
YOU'LL |
| 00:16:17 | HEAR FROM THE FOLKS ABOUT OUR
HOSPITALS. |
| 00:16:20 | IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE PEOPLE
WHO |
| 00:16:21 | GET CORONAVIRUS.
IT'S ABOUT ALL THE REST OF US |
| 00:16:24 | WHO
MIGHT NEED OUR HOSPITALS TO GIVE |
| 00:16:27 | A BIRTH OR IF WE GET
IN A CAR ACCIDENT OR IF WE HAVE |
| 00:16:30 | A
HEART ATTACK OR STROKE. |
| 00:16:32 | AND IT'S MORE THAN THE
HOSPITALS. |
| 00:16:34 | WE'RE KEEPING THE WORKERS
HEALTHY |
| 00:16:35 | RIGHT NOW. WE'RE KEEPING OUR
FIREFIGHTERS AND OUR FRONTLINE |
| 00:16:38 | RESPONDERS HEALTHY.
IF THEY GET SICK, THEN YOU TAKE |
| 00:16:42 | OUT, AS WE DID WITH OUR ONE
FIREFIGHTER, HAD A CASE, THE |
| 00:16:44 | WHOLE
FIREHOUSE, AND THEN THEY'RE ALL |
| 00:16:46 | IN ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE
SUITS, |
| 00:16:48 | ALL THESE RIPPLE EFFECTS THAT
WE'RE |
| 00:16:50 | HAVING.
AND SO THAT IS WHY |
| 00:16:53 | WHAT YOU'RE DOING MAKES ALL
THE DIFFERENCE |
| 00:16:58 | HERE IN OHIO.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE, |
| 00:17:02 | AS OF THIS MORNING, 67
CASES. |
| 00:17:05 | AGAIN, JUST A LITTLE OVER A WEEK
AGO, WE HAD OUR FIRST CASE. |
| 00:17:09 | THE ILLNESS ONSET RANGE IS STILL
FROM FEBRUARY 7TH. |
| 00:17:13 | AGAIN, KNOWING THAT WE HAD
INFECTIVITY BEFORE THAT. |
| 00:17:16 | AND TOMORROW, I WILL GO INTO A
WHOLE |
| 00:17:18 | TIMELINE ON THAT.
AND THE LATEST ONSET WAS |
| 00:17:22 | MARCH 16TH.
OUR AGE RANGE IN OHIO |
| 00:17:26 | IS 14 TO 86 YEARS
NOW WITH THE MEDIAN AGE OF 48. |
| 00:17:32 | AND WE KNOW THAT EVEN IN 40 TO
50 |
| 00:17:34 | YEAR OLDS ON THE CASE, FATALITY
RATE CAN BE 1 IN 250. |
| 00:17:40 | SEX, IT IS 26 FEMALES
AND 41 MALES, |
| 00:17:44 | HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE 17
AND THERE ARE MANY ICU |
| 00:17:49 | HOSPITALIZATIONS INCLUDED WITH
THAT, |
| 00:17:51 | SO THAT'S MORE SICK AND WE
NOW KNOW WE HAVE 16 OF OUR |
| 00:17:56 | COUNTIES.
BUT SOME OF THAT COUNTY DATA |
| 00:17:57 | DATA
IS INCLUDING PEOPLE FROM OTHER |
| 00:18:00 | COUNTIES THAT HAVE GONE TO A
MORE |
| 00:18:01 | MAJOR HOSPITAL AND
WE'RE WORKING ON THAT DATA AS WE |
| 00:18:05 | SPEAK.
SO THAT THAT IS ON THE |
| 00:18:07 | NUMBERS. WE KNOW, WE KNOW HAVE
MANY |
| 00:18:09 | MORE IN THE QUEUE AS OUR
TESTING IS |
| 00:18:11 | GOING UP.
COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY. |
| 00:18:15 | THANK YOU TO OUR VETS AND OUR
DENNIS. |
| 00:18:18 | THEY ARE ALREADY DONATING THEIR
PPE. |
| 00:18:21 | WE'RE GONNA TALK TODAY ABOUT OUR
ORDER TO STOP |
| 00:18:25 | NON-ESSENTIAL SURGERIES OR
ELECTIVE SURGERIES. |
| 00:18:29 | THEY'RE TAKING THOSE MATERIALS
TO |
| 00:18:30 | THE A.M.A. AND YOU'LL BE HEARING
MORE ABOUT THAT. |
| 00:18:34 | YOUR LOCAL EMH STATION, THEY'RE
GEARING UP TO TAKE ALL YOUR |
| 00:18:37 | SUPPLIES. THAT'S GOING TO MAKE A
WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. |
| 00:18:41 | THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE THAT HAVE
NASAL SWABS, THE ACTUAL SWAB |
| 00:18:45 | YOU WOULD DO IF YOU HAVE ANY OF
THOSE, PERHAPS THAT'S |
| 00:18:48 | ON THAT MIGHT BE EQUIPMENT YOU
HAVE |
| 00:18:50 | OUR RESTAURANTS AND OUR FOOD
SERVICES ARE BRINGING THEIR |
| 00:18:53 | LATEX
GLOVES. |
| 00:18:54 | OTHER INDUSTRIES THAT HAVE
GLOVES, |
| 00:18:56 | SUPPLIES, I MEAN, NO SCHOOLS
EVEN HAVE THEM THAT AREN'T USING |
| 00:18:59 | THEM. THOSE MIGHT BE THINGS
THAT WE |
| 00:19:01 | CAN BE BRINGING TO OUR E-MAILS
THAT |
| 00:19:02 | WE HAVE MORE SUPPLIES.
WE ALSO RECEIVED AND WE'RE |
| 00:19:07 | ARE BUDGETING FOR THE FIRST
FUNDS |
| 00:19:09 | THAT WERE ALLOTTED TO US FOR
PUBLIC |
| 00:19:11 | HEALTH.
IT WAS ABOUT 15 MILLION DOLLARS |
| 00:19:14 | THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE
FEDERAL |
| 00:19:15 | GOVERNMENT.
10 MILLION OF THAT WILL GO OUT |
| 00:19:18 | TO
OUR LOCAL PARTNERS. |
| 00:19:20 | WE HAVE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN
HEALTH DEPARTMENTS. WE'RE VERY |
| 00:19:22 | DECENTRALIZED STATE IN OHIO.
THEY'RE ON THE FRONTLINES RIGHT |
| 00:19:26 | NOW
DOING THESE DISEASE DETECTIVE |
| 00:19:27 | INVESTIGATIONS.
AND THAT MONEY WILL BE GOING FOR |
| 00:19:30 | THEIR WORK, THEIR MODEL MONITOR
DURING INVESTIGATION, THEIR |
| 00:19:33 | CONTAINMENT EFFORTS IN THEIR
MITIGATION EFFORTS. |
| 00:19:37 | THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
MY ELEVEN HUNDRED AMAZING |
| 00:19:40 | EMPLOYEES, MANY OF WHOM
ARE WORKING FROM HOME RIGHT NOW, |
| 00:19:44 | SOME OF THAT WILL GO FOR THE
WORK |
| 00:19:45 | WE'RE DOING AND SURVEILLANCE AND
MONITORING AND RUNNING THIS |
| 00:19:49 | INVESTIGATION.
I WANT TO DO A SPECIAL CALL OUT |
| 00:19:52 | TO
OUR CALL CENTER, OUR |
| 00:19:54 | 8 3 3 4 ASK
ODH. |
| 00:19:59 | THIS IS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING.
AGAIN, THIS IS A LOT LIKE A WAR. |
| 00:20:02 | AND WE SET UP A CALL CENTER AND
WE |
| 00:20:04 | SET UP A WEB SITE
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO ON WHEN |
| 00:20:08 | WHEN LIFE LOOKED A LOT
DIFFERENTLY. |
| 00:20:09 | AND I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE HAVE
CALLED. THERE'VE BEEN STORIES |
| 00:20:12 | ABOUT
CALLING AND BEING PUT ON HOLD. |
| 00:20:14 | I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS IS
A |
| 00:20:16 | MASSIVE VOLUNTEER
AND EMPLOYEE WORK THAT IS GOING |
| 00:20:19 | ON.
WE ARE SCALING THAT UP, TOO. |
| 00:20:22 | WE'RE GETTING PROFESSIONAL
PRIVATE |
| 00:20:24 | SECTOR ADVICE ON SCALING THAT
THE SAME WAY A MAJOR BUSINESS |
| 00:20:28 | WOULD OPERATE A CALL CENTER.
BUT THAT TAKES A FEW DAYS AND |
| 00:20:31 | WE'RE
GEARING THAT UP. |
| 00:20:33 | BUT WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
THOSE WORKERS ARE ANSWERING YOUR |
| 00:20:35 | CALLS AS FAST AS THEY CAN,
BUT THAT WILL BE THE ONE STOP |
| 00:20:39 | SHOP
SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS ONE |
| 00:20:40 | PLACE TO
GO. |
| 00:20:41 | OUR WEB SITE, CORONA VIRUS
STARTTO |
| 00:20:43 | HOW DOT GOV.
STILL HAS SOME OF THE BEST |
| 00:20:46 | INFORMATION. AND WE'RE POSTING
NEW |
| 00:20:48 | THINGS. WE LISTEN TO PARENTS AND
PEDIATRICIANS AND THERE'S A LOT |
| 00:20:51 | MORE
GUIDANCE FOR FAMILY ON THERE |
| 00:20:53 | TODAY.
AND WE ARE FOR OUR LOCAL |
| 00:20:55 | PARTNERS,
WERE REDEVELOPING IT. |
| 00:20:57 | SO IT'S EASIER TO FIND OUR
ORDERS |
| 00:20:59 | AND EASIER TO FIND THE TOOLS
THAT |
| 00:21:00 | WILL HELP YOU DO YOUR WORK.
BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK THOSE |
| 00:21:03 | WORKERS AS WELL.
SO ONE LAST THING. |
| 00:21:14 | AS THE GOVERNOR HAS ALWAYS SAID,
THIS IS THE BIG ONE. |
| 00:21:18 | THIS IS THE 1918
SCENARIO OF THE SPANISH FLU, |
| 00:21:22 | WHERE WE KNOW WE LOST MANY MORE
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY BY FAR |
| 00:21:26 | THAN WE LOST IN THE WAR
AND THAT A DIFFERENCE OF TWO |
| 00:21:31 | WEEKS
AND THE ABSOLUTE BLESSING THAT |
| 00:21:32 | WE
HAVE IN THE STATE OF OHIO |
| 00:21:34 | TO HAVE THESE TWO WEEKS WHEN WE
SEE |
| 00:21:36 | OUR PEERS AROUND THE WORLD.
MAKING LIFE AND DEATH DECISIONS |
| 00:21:40 | ABOUT WHO GETS A VENTILATOR.
WHEN WE SEE OUR SISTER CITIES |
| 00:21:45 | AND PLACES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO,
PLACES WHERE MY BOYS ARE |
| 00:21:48 | SHELTERING IN PLACE.
WE SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN NEW |
| 00:21:52 | YORK
AND OTHER CITIES. |
| 00:21:55 | EVERYTHING WE DO HERE IN OHIO
KEEPS |
| 00:21:57 | US IN ST. LEWIS.
WE'RE BLESSED TO HAVE THAT |
| 00:22:01 | COLLEAGUE
OF MINE, BRIDGET HARRISON. |
| 00:22:04 | FROM CLEVELAND ,CATHOLIC
FAMILY. ST. PATRICK'S DAY IS |
| 00:22:08 | EVERYTHING.
SHE REMINDED ME THAT ST. |
| 00:22:11 | PATRICK WAS THE GOD OF KEEPING
ALL |
| 00:22:12 | THE SNAKES AND THE PESTS AWAY
AND THAT HER FAMILY HAS A 90 |
| 00:22:16 | YEAR
HISTORY AND ONE OF THE OLDEST |
| 00:22:17 | PARISHES OF THIS DAY.
THEY'RE MISSING THEIR PARADES. |
| 00:22:20 | SHE'S HERE WORKING AND NOT WITH
HER |
| 00:22:22 | FAMILY.
THERE'S A CALL OUT FROM HER. |
| 00:22:24 | DO YOU?
BUT THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE. |
| 00:22:27 | THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE. THIS
WILL |
| 00:22:28 | MAKE.
WE WANT TO BE ST. SAINT LEWIS. |
| 00:22:32 | AND WE WANT TO DO THE THINGS
THAT |
| 00:22:33 | THE TWO WEEKS THAT WE HAVE AND
WHAT |
| 00:22:35 | THE HOSPITALS WERE TELLING YOU
ABOUT. |
| 00:22:37 | SO NEXT, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE
MIKE ABRAMS. |
| 00:22:40 | HE IS THE CEO AND PRESIDENT
OF THE OHIO HOSPITAL |
| 00:22:44 | ASSOCIATION.
WE HAVE A GIFT IN THE STATE. |
| 00:22:46 | OUR HOSPITALS ARE AMAZING.
THEY'RE GOING TO COME TOGETHER. |
| 00:22:49 | THEY'RE DOING THIS WORK
TOGETHER IN |
| 00:22:51 | UNPRECEDENTED WAYS TO HELP
KEEP YOU SAFE THROUGH THIS |
| 00:22:57 | SEARCH.
THANK YOU, DR. ACTON, AND |
| 00:23:00 | GOVERNOR DEWINE.
YOU KNOW, MY OFFICE IS RIGHT |
| 00:23:03 | ACROSS
THE STREET FROM HERE. |
| 00:23:04 | AND AS I WAS WALKING OVER TO
THIS |
| 00:23:06 | CONFERENCE, I CONTEMPLATED
THE SAME THING THE GOVERNOR |
| 00:23:10 | STARTED
HIS COMMENTS WITH. |
| 00:23:11 | AND THAT IS, IT WAS BARELY
TWO WEEKS AGO THAT THE GOVERNOR |
| 00:23:14 | MADE
HIS ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE |
| 00:23:16 | ARNOLD.
AND I CAN REMEMBER THINKING |
| 00:23:18 | THAT, A,
IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, |
| 00:23:20 | BUT B,
IT WAS SUCH A DRAMATIC MEASURE. |
| 00:23:23 | AND I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT WOULD
BE |
| 00:23:24 | THE MOST DRAMATIC MEASURE WE
WOULD |
| 00:23:25 | NEED TO TAKE.
AND CLEARLY, THAT FEELS LIKE AN |
| 00:23:28 | ETERNITY AGO.
WE'VE WE'VE COME SO FAR |
| 00:23:32 | JUST IN THE LAST 12, 14 DAYS.
I ALSO WILL START MY REMARKS |
| 00:23:37 | BY OBSERVING THAT I WAS AS
I DO EVERY MORNING, I WAS |
| 00:23:40 | READING
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. |
| 00:23:41 | AND I WAS SO PROUD OF THE
COMMENTARY FROM A COLUMNIST THIS |
| 00:23:45 | MORNING IN THE JOURNAL WHO
REALLY |
| 00:23:46 | LOUD AT OUR GOVERNOR AND CALLED
HIM |
| 00:23:48 | OUT INDIVIDUALLY AS ONE
OF THE TRUE LEADERS IN THE |
| 00:23:51 | NATION
DOING A GREAT JOB FOR OUR STATE. |
| 00:23:54 | CALLED HIM PRESCIENT.
AT ONE POINT. BUT I DO REALLY |
| 00:23:57 | AM VERY, VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL
OF |
| 00:23:59 | THE GREAT LEADERSHIP THAT
GOVERNOR |
| 00:24:01 | DEWINE AND HIS TEAM
HAVE OFFERED TO THIS |
| 00:24:05 | DIFFICULT SITUATION.
WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK |
| 00:24:09 | THAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST
COUPLE |
| 00:24:10 | OF WEEKS SINCE THE ORIGINAL
ANNOUNCEMENT IS THE PUBLIC'S |
| 00:24:13 | UNDERSTANDING OF THE GRAVITY
OF THE SITUATION HAS INCREASED. |
| 00:24:17 | AND I WOULD
LIKE TO OBSERVE THAT I SHARE |
| 00:24:22 | THE PUBLIC'S CONCERN, AS DR.
ACTON POINTED OUT. |
| 00:24:25 | BUT WHAT I WANT IS FOR THE
PUBLIC TO |
| 00:24:27 | SHARE MY OPTIMISM
THAT WHILE THIS IS A |
| 00:24:31 | DIFFICULT SITUATION, THE HEALTH
CARE |
| 00:24:33 | INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE STATE OF
OHIO |
| 00:24:35 | IS QUITE STRONG.
SO YOU HAVE READ ACROSS |
| 00:24:39 | THE STATE MANY HOSPITALS, VERY
LARGE SYSTEMS AND SMALL |
| 00:24:43 | HOSPITALS
ALIKE HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY |
| 00:24:45 | ARE
DELAYING PROCEDURES THAT CAN |
| 00:24:47 | SAFELY BE DELAYED.
AND THE CHAIR ELECT OF THE OHA |
| 00:24:51 | IS THE PRESIDENT OF UNIVERSITY
CINCINNATI HEALTH, DR. RICK |
| 00:24:54 | LOFGREN.
AND HE ALWAYS OBSERVES WHEN WE |
| 00:24:57 | TALK
ABOUT THAT ISSUE, |
| 00:24:59 | IS THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD
FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE |
| 00:25:03 | PROCEDURES ARE BEING DELAYED,
NOT BECAUSE HOSPITALS ARE UNSAFE |
| 00:25:07 | PLACES TO BE.
THEY ARE BEING DELAYED BECAUSE |
| 00:25:10 | OF
THE IMPORTANCE OF ALLOCATING |
| 00:25:12 | RESOURCES IN A WAY THAT
ALLOWS US TO FOCUS ON PRIORITY |
| 00:25:15 | CASES.
AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING |
| 00:25:19 | THAT WE NEED TO CONSISTENTLY AND
CONSTANTLY KIND OF REMIND |
| 00:25:23 | OURSELVES.
AT THE OHIO HOSPITAL |
| 00:25:25 | ASSOCIATION,
WE DEPLOYED A PROCESS WHEREBY WE |
| 00:25:27 | ASK SOME OF THE FOREMOST EXPERTS
IN THE STATE AND THROUGHOUT THE |
| 00:25:30 | COUNTRY HOW
WE COULD ESTABLISH GUARDRAILS |
| 00:25:34 | BETWEEN WHICH OUR HOSPITALS
COULD OPERATE SO THAT THEY COULD |
| 00:25:39 | APPLY SOME GUIDELINES
CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE |
| 00:25:42 | STATE,
FROM COMMUNITY TO COMMUNITY, |
| 00:25:44 | FROM
SYSTEM TO SYSTEM. |
| 00:25:46 | AND I THINK WHAT WE WHAT
THAT RESULTED IN IS SOME |
| 00:25:50 | VERY, VERY CREDIBLE GUIDELINES
THAT |
| 00:25:51 | HOSPITALS WILL FOLLOW
NO MATTER IF YOU'RE IN TOLEDO OR |
| 00:25:56 | DAYTON OR ANYWHERE
IN THE STATE. |
| 00:25:58 | WE ALSO CONSULTED KIND OF
LEARNED ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE |
| 00:26:02 | AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS AND
OTHER GROUPS THAT HAVE GIVEN |
| 00:26:06 | A GREAT DEAL OF SCHOLARLY
ATTENTION |
| 00:26:09 | TO HOW POLICIES LIKE THIS SHOULD
LOOK. |
| 00:26:12 | AS A MATTER OF ROUTINE, HOSPITAL
LEADERS REGULARLY |
| 00:26:16 | EVALUATE SITUATIONS
AND CONTINGENCY PLANS BECAUSE |
| 00:26:20 | UNIQUE
SITUATIONS. |
| 00:26:22 | IF YOU JUST THINK ABOUT THE
READING |
| 00:26:24 | THE LOCAL MEDIA FROM TIME TO
TIME, |
| 00:26:26 | UNIQUE SITUATIONS POP UP
SOMEWHAT |
| 00:26:28 | REGULARLY. IT WASN'T THAT LONG
AGO |
| 00:26:30 | THE HOSPITALS IN
OHIO WERE DEALING WITH |
| 00:26:33 | TORNADOES.
IT WAS JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS |
| 00:26:35 | AGO
THAT LANKESTER WAS DEALING WITH |
| 00:26:37 | THE BOTULISM SITUATION.
SO HOSPITALS ARE REGULAR, THE |
| 00:26:41 | KIND
OF PRESSURE TESTING THEIR OWN |
| 00:26:42 | INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THEIR
COMMUNITY |
| 00:26:44 | TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE
CAPABLE |
| 00:26:47 | OF SURGING WHEN THAT NEEDS TO
OCCUR |
| 00:26:49 | AND RELAXING BACK WHEN THAT
SURGE |
| 00:26:51 | CAN SAFELY RELAX BACK
EVERY YEAR IN OHIO HOSPITALS. |
| 00:26:56 | THERE ARE 36 MILLION
ENCOUNTERS WITH OHIO HOSPITALS |
| 00:27:00 | THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
AND AT THE OHIO HOSPITAL |
| 00:27:02 | ASSOCIATION, WE HAVE DATA ON
ALL OF THEM AND WE CAN DEPLOY |
| 00:27:06 | THAT DATA TO KIND OF DO
ANALYTICS AND FIGURE OUT |
| 00:27:09 | SOME PROPER PUBLIC POLICIES
AND MAKE SOME PROPER |
| 00:27:13 | OBSERVATIONS
ABOUT WHERE WHERE THINGS ARE |
| 00:27:15 | LIKELY
TO OCCUR. |
| 00:27:17 | THE SITUATION TODAY IS THAT
HOSPITALS IN OUR STATE ARE ABOUT |
| 00:27:22 | A LITTLE LESS THAN 75 PERCENT AT
CAPACITY INPATIENT WISE, |
| 00:27:26 | WHICH IS ABOUT NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME |
| 00:27:28 | OF YEAR.
OFTEN IT'S A LITTLE HEAVIER THIS |
| 00:27:30 | TIME OF YEAR BECAUSE OF
INFLUENZA. |
| 00:27:32 | SO THAT IS TO SAY THAT WE CAN
SAFELY SURGE ANOTHER 25 |
| 00:27:36 | PERCENT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING
EXTRAORDINARY AT ALL. |
| 00:27:39 | LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
I WAS TALKING TO A HOSPITAL |
| 00:27:41 | LEADER
JUST EARLIER TODAY WHO |
| 00:27:43 | RIGHT NOW STAFF FOR ABOUT 60
BEDS IN HIS HOSPITAL. |
| 00:27:47 | AND WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT,
HE COULD SURGE THAT TO 90 BEDS. |
| 00:27:51 | HE HAS THE ABILITY,
THE THE ROOMS THAT HE COULD OPEN |
| 00:27:56 | AND THE. STRUCTURE TO SURGE FROM
60 TO 90 LAST |
| 00:28:00 | NIGHT HAS INPATIENT COUNT WAS
IN THE |
| 00:28:02 | LOW 50S.
SO ESSENTIALLY HE COULD ADD AN |
| 00:28:05 | ADDITIONAL 30 WITHOUT DOING
ANYTHING PARTICULARLY |
| 00:28:09 | EXTRAORDINARY.
BUT IF HE AND OTHER HOSPITALS |
| 00:28:12 | THROUGHOUT THE STATE DID NEED TO
TAKE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES, |
| 00:28:14 | THERE
ARE THOSE OPTIONS. |
| 00:28:16 | I WANT TO GIVE YOU JUST A
COUPLE OF |
| 00:28:18 | EXAMPLES.
HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN, FOR |
| 00:28:20 | EXAMPLE, IN
DISCUSSION WITH LOCAL NURSING |
| 00:28:22 | HOMES
WHERE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HAVE |
| 00:28:24 | EITHER A WING OF A NURSING HOME
OR |
| 00:28:26 | A BUILDING THAT IS
OWNED BY A NURSING HOME THAT |
| 00:28:30 | COULD ACCEPT A CERTAIN NUMBER OF
NONINFECTIOUS PATIENTS SAFELY |
| 00:28:35 | WHERE THOSE PATIENTS COULD
SAFELY BE |
| 00:28:36 | CARED FOR.
SO YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY TURNING A |
| 00:28:38 | SECTION OF A NURSING HOME INTO
AN AREA THAT COULD PROVIDE MORE |
| 00:28:44 | TRADITIONAL HOSPITAL SERVICES.
WHAT THAT WOULD DO IS OPEN UP |
| 00:28:48 | THE
MORE TRADITIONAL HOSPITAL |
| 00:28:50 | BUILDING
FOR SURGE ABILITY |
| 00:28:52 | IN CASE THEY HAD COVID 19
OR OTHER PATIENTS THAT REQUIRED |
| 00:28:56 | HOSPITAL CARE.
WE HAVE HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT OUR |
| 00:28:59 | STATE WHO HAVE TALKED TO LOCAL
HOTELS. |
| 00:29:02 | THEY COULD ACTUALLY REDEPLOY
A FLOOR OF A HOTEL |
| 00:29:06 | TO TO BRING IN NONINFECTIOUS
PATIENTS WHO COULD SAFELY BE |
| 00:29:10 | CARED FOR IN A HOTEL.
AND AGAIN, FREEING |
| 00:29:14 | UP SPACE IN THE MORE TRADITIONAL
HOSPITAL. |
| 00:29:17 | I HAVE TALKED TO HOSPITAL
LEADERS THROUGHOUT OUR STATE WHO |
| 00:29:20 | HAVE BEEN IN
COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR LOCAL |
| 00:29:24 | LEADERS TO TALK ABOUT REOPENING
HOSPITALS THAT HAVE RECENTLY |
| 00:29:28 | CLOSED.
IF WE NEED TO DO THAT, THAT'S |
| 00:29:30 | SOMETHING WE COULD DO.
THOSE ARE, IN MANY CASES, |
| 00:29:32 | APPROPRIATE BUILDINGS TO TO
OPEN UP AND COULD DO |
| 00:29:36 | VARIOUS THINGS THAT WOULD BE
HELPFUL. |
| 00:29:39 | WE HAVE 33 CRITICAL ACCESS
HOSPITALS |
| 00:29:41 | IN OUR STATE AND TRADITIONALLY
THOSE |
| 00:29:42 | HOSPITALS ARE LIMITED BY
FEDERAL LAW |
| 00:29:45 | TO HAVE ONLY 25 BEDS
AND HAVE ONLY A NINETY SIX HOUR |
| 00:29:48 | STAY.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS |
| 00:29:50 | ALREADY
RELAXED THAT RULE SO WE CAN |
| 00:29:53 | SEARCH INTO CRITICAL ACCESS
HOSPITALS BEYOND 25 BEDS |
| 00:29:56 | WITH STAYS LONGER THAN 96
HOURS. |
| 00:30:00 | IF YOU GO TO THE SEVERAL
HOSPITALS |
| 00:30:02 | THROUGHOUT OUR STATE TODAY, YOU
WILL |
| 00:30:04 | MAYBE SEE TENTS OUTSIDE
THE E.R. |
| 00:30:08 | AND THOSE ARE BEING AND ONE
HOSPITAL LEADER CALLED THAT A |
| 00:30:11 | RESPIRATORY WAITING ROOM.
TYPICALLY, THAT IS AN AREA OF |
| 00:30:14 | THE HOSPITAL THAT HAS BEEN SET
UP IN |
| 00:30:16 | THE LAST FEW DAYS TO
ESSENTIALLY DO TRIES TO DO |
| 00:30:20 | AN ASSESSMENT OF A PATIENT AND
A SAFER AREA SO THEY CAN TELL |
| 00:30:24 | WHETHER THIS PATIENT NEEDS TO
PROCEED MORE INTO THE |
| 00:30:27 | TRADITIONAL
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND MAYBE |
| 00:30:28 | INTO
THE HOSPITAL, OR IF THEY COULD |
| 00:30:30 | BE
SAFELY CARED FOR OUTSIDE OF THE |
| 00:30:32 | HOSPITAL. SO WHEN YOU DRIVE BY A
HOSPITAL TODAY AND YOU SEE TENTS |
| 00:30:35 | GOING UP, I JUST WANTED YOU TO
HAVE |
| 00:30:37 | SOME FAMILIARITY WITH WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THAT TENT. |
| 00:30:41 | SPEAKING OF CREATIVITY ARE OUR
SON |
| 00:30:44 | THOMAS IS A JUNIOR AT THE
UNIVERSITY |
| 00:30:46 | OF DAYTON AND HE IS PROBABLY
ENJOYING A LITTLE BIT THE EXTRA |
| 00:30:49 | TIME
OFF FROM UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON. |
| 00:30:52 | ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO PUT A SHOT,
SHOUT |
| 00:30:53 | OUT TO THE FLYERS WHO I FEEL
TERRIBLY SORRY FOR ABOUT THE |
| 00:30:56 | BASKETBALL SEASON.
BUT PREMIERE HEALTH HAS |
| 00:30:59 | PARTNERED WITH UNIVERSITY OF
DAYTON. |
| 00:31:00 | SO NOW AT UD ARENA, INSTEAD OF
SEEING A BASKETBALL GAME, YOU |
| 00:31:03 | MIGHT
SEE SAFE TESTING |
| 00:31:05 | GOING ON AND THAT IS BECAUSE
THEY WANTED TO DO THAT OFF SITE |
| 00:31:09 | FROM
THE HOSPITAL. |
| 00:31:10 | SO THERE IS A LOT OF INNOVATION
AND |
| 00:31:12 | CREATIVITY BEING OFFERED TO
THE HEALTH CARE INFRASTRUCTURE |
| 00:31:15 | RIGHT
NOW TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN |
| 00:31:18 | SAFELY
PREPARE FOR A SURGE THAT WE |
| 00:31:20 | BELIEVE
WE WILL NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR. |
| 00:31:23 | AND WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT
OVER |
| 00:31:24 | TO DR. ANDY THOMAS TO PROVIDE
MORE DETAIL AROUND THE PROCESS |
| 00:31:28 | THAT WE WENT THROUGH AND WHAT
THAT |
| 00:31:30 | PROCESS RESULTED IN IN TERMS OF
ELECTIVE PROCEDURES. |
| 00:31:33 | THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MIKE. |
| 00:31:38 | AND ANDY THOMAS, CHIEF CLINICAL
OFFICER FROM THE HOUSE, THE |
| 00:31:41 | UNIVERSITY WEXNER MEDICAL
CENTER. |
| 00:31:42 | I HAVE A PLEASURE TO REPRESENT
THE |
| 00:31:44 | MEDICAL ADVISORY GROUP FROM THE
OSHA THAT'S BEEN WORKING WITH |
| 00:31:47 | THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OVER THE PAST |
| 00:31:49 | COUPLE OF WEEKS.
AS MIKE SAID, WE WORKED REALLY |
| 00:31:52 | ON
SOME DIRECTION THAT CAME FROM |
| 00:31:53 | THE
AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS, |
| 00:31:55 | THE
U.S. SURGEON GENERAL. |
| 00:31:56 | AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING GOING ON
IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON AND |
| 00:32:00 | NOW
IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND |
| 00:32:01 | OTHER
STATES TO TRY AND GET AHEAD OF |
| 00:32:03 | THE
CURVE. AS DR. ACTON HAS |
| 00:32:05 | BEEN EXPLAINING TO US NOW FOR
A FEW WEEKS, THE GROUP, |
| 00:32:09 | THE MEDICAL ADVISORY GROUP
PUT TOGETHER A GROUP OF SURGICAL |
| 00:32:13 | LEADERS FROM OUR HOSPITALS
ACROSS |
| 00:32:15 | THE STATE TO WORK TO DETERMINE
WHAT CASES WOULD BE SAFE |
| 00:32:19 | TO DELAY EITHER SURGERIES OR
PROCEDURES, AND HOW COULD |
| 00:32:23 | WE PROVIDE GUIDANCE THAT COULD
BE |
| 00:32:24 | USED UNIFORMLY ACROSS THE STATE
SO THAT WE'RE NOT CREATING |
| 00:32:28 | A NEW PROBLEM BY SOLVING ONE.
AND WE DON'T WANT TO HARM ANY |
| 00:32:32 | PATIENTS WHO NEED SURGERY,
BUT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DEFINE |
| 00:32:35 | WHICH CASES COULD BE SAFELY
DELAYED |
| 00:32:38 | SO THAT THEY CAN BE DONE TWO
WEEKS, |
| 00:32:40 | FOUR WEEKS, SIX WEEKS FROM NOW
WITH NO HARM TO THE PATIENT. |
| 00:32:44 | SO OUR GROUP HAS WORKED OVER THE
LAST OVER THE LAST WEEK |
| 00:32:47 | TO PUT TOGETHER A SET OF
PRINCIPLES |
| 00:32:49 | THAT HAVE BEEN AGREED TO BY THE
OHIO |
| 00:32:51 | HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION BOARD, HAVE
BEEN SHARED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S |
| 00:32:54 | OFFICE IN THE STATE
ABOUT HOW WE'LL PROCEED |
| 00:32:58 | BASICALLY TO WHAT
WE DID IS CREATE CRITERIA TO |
| 00:33:01 | MAKE
SOMETHING NOT ELECTIVE. |
| 00:33:03 | WE COULD HAVE TRIED TO DEFINE
WHAT |
| 00:33:05 | IS ELECTIVE OR TRIED TO DEFINE
WHAT IS NOT ELECTIVE. |
| 00:33:08 | AND WE CHOSE THE LATTER.
SO THE WAY THAT WE WILL DEFINE |
| 00:33:12 | THINGS THAT ARE NOT ELECTIVE ARE
SURGERY OR PROCEDURE THAT |
| 00:33:15 | IS LIFE SAVING SURGERY
OR PROCEDURE THAT PRESERVES THE |
| 00:33:19 | FUNCTION OF AN ORGAN OR
PRESERVES |
| 00:33:21 | A LIMB FOR A PATIENT,
A SURGERY THAT WILL |
| 00:33:26 | REDUCE THE RISK OF METASTASIS
OR PROGRESSION OF DISEASE |
| 00:33:30 | FOR CANCER OR OTHER CONDITION,
AND A SURGERY THAT WILL |
| 00:33:35 | REDUCE THE RISK OF PROGRESSION
TO |
| 00:33:37 | SEVERE SYMPTOMS FOR THE PATIENT.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT |
| 00:33:41 | ANYTHING THAT FITS INTO THOSE
FOUR |
| 00:33:43 | CATEGORIES PRESERVATION OF LIFE,
PRESERVATION OF ORGANS OR LIMB, |
| 00:33:49 | PREVENTING PROGRESSION OF
DISEASE |
| 00:33:51 | OR METASTASIS FOR CANCER
OR PROGRESSION TO SEVERE |
| 00:33:54 | SYMPTOMS,
ANYTHING THAT FITS INTO THOSE |
| 00:33:56 | FELT
FOUR CATEGORIES WILL STILL BE |
| 00:33:57 | ABLE
TO BE DONE IN A ROUTINE BASIS |
| 00:34:00 | AS IT'S BEEN SCHEDULED OR
POTENTIALLY EVEN MOVED UP |
| 00:34:02 | BECAUSE
OTHER ELECTIVE THINGS ARE |
| 00:34:04 | REMOVED
FROM THE SCHEDULE. |
| 00:34:05 | WE FEEL THAT THIS STEP
WILL DO A NUMBER OF THINGS FOR |
| 00:34:09 | US. FIRST, IT DOES HELP US
WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING AT THE |
| 00:34:13 | HOSPITAL. FEWER PEOPLE IN
WAITING |
| 00:34:14 | ROOMS, FEWER PEOPLE COMING INTO
OUR |
| 00:34:16 | FACILITIES IS MOST LIKELY
BETTER TO |
| 00:34:18 | REDUCE THE SPREAD OF INFECTION.
BUT REALLY THE GOAL OF THIS IS |
| 00:34:22 | TO PRESERVE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD BE USED IN |
| 00:34:24 | THOSE SURGERIES.
IT'S ALSO TO PRESERVE BEDS, |
| 00:34:28 | TO PRESERVE CRITICAL CARE BEDS
OR |
| 00:34:30 | EVEN ROUTINE HOSPITAL BEDS THAT
MIGHT BE TAKEN UP BY THOSE |
| 00:34:33 | PATIENTS
WHEN THEY'RE RECOVERING FROM |
| 00:34:34 | SURGERY.
AND ALSO, IT PRESERVES KEY |
| 00:34:37 | EQUIPMENT. SO VENTILATORS,
IT ALLOWS US TO FREE UP STAFF TO |
| 00:34:41 | PERFORM OTHER FUNCTIONS, WHETHER
THAT SCREENING, SWABBING |
| 00:34:44 | OR REALLY CARING FOR A
MORE AND MORE PATIENTS THAT |
| 00:34:47 | WE'RE
GETTING IN OUR HOSPITALS THAT |
| 00:34:49 | ARE
BEING RULED OUT FOR A CORONA |
| 00:34:51 | VIRUS.
SO IT WAS A VERY COLLEGIAL |
| 00:34:54 | PROCESS.
GOOD AGREEMENT BOTH AT THE |
| 00:34:56 | SURGICAL
LEVEL, THE CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER |
| 00:34:57 | LEVEL AND THEN AMONGST THE
HOSPITAL BOARD LEADERSHIP AT |
| 00:35:02 | THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION.
AND WE FEEL IT'S |
| 00:35:06 | A GOOD PROCESS THAT WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH AND THAT IT WILL MAKE |
| 00:35:09 | SURE
TO PRESERVE SAFETY AND QUALITY |
| 00:35:10 | OF
CARE IN THE STATE OF OHIO. |
| 00:35:18 | I'M TAMARA MCBRYDE, I'M THE
CHIEF OF |
| 00:35:19 | HEALTH PREPAREDNESS AT THE OHIO
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. |
| 00:35:22 | MY REMARKS TODAY WILL BE BRIEF,
BUT |
| 00:35:23 | TO FOLLOW UP WITH DR. THOMAS
AND WHAT MIKE ABRAMS HAVE TALKED |
| 00:35:27 | ABOUT IN TERMS OF STEPS THAT
ARE IN PLACE IN ORDER TO |
| 00:35:30 | MAINTAIN
THE SURGE THAT WE ANTICIPATE |
| 00:35:33 | SEEING.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT |
| 00:35:34 | CONSERVATION OF PPE IS
PARAMOUNT. |
| 00:35:37 | IF WE DON'T DO CONSERVATION
STEPS |
| 00:35:39 | NOW, WE WILL NOT HAVE HEALTH
CARE |
| 00:35:41 | WORKERS THAT ARE PROTECTED TO
CARE |
| 00:35:42 | FOR THE MOST SICK.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE |
| 00:35:45 | GOVERNOR ANNOUNCED A FEW DAYS
AGO |
| 00:35:47 | WAS THAT WE DID INDEED RECEIVE
OUR ALLOCATION FOR THE STRATEGIC |
| 00:35:51 | NATIONAL STOCKPILE.
WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THE |
| 00:35:54 | FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ALLOCATED
FOR EACH OF THE STATES |
| 00:35:58 | A CERTAIN AMOUNT BASED ON
POPULATION |
| 00:36:00 | THAT WE WILL RECEIVE.
WE HAVE RECEIVED THE FULL |
| 00:36:03 | ALLOCATION
FOR OHIO. |
| 00:36:05 | THAT, THOUGH, IS NOT ENOUGH.
AND SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS |
| 00:36:09 | ALL OF THE INDUSTRIES
WHO ARE NOW TAKING ON |
| 00:36:12 | ELECTIVE SURGERY POSTPONEMENTS
OR |
| 00:36:14 | CANCELATIONS TO PLEASE CONTACT
YOUR LOCAL E.M.A. |
| 00:36:18 | TO ENSURE THAT THAT PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IS |
| 00:36:21 | AVAILABLE
SO THAT HEALTH CARE WORKERS, |
| 00:36:23 | E.M.S., FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE
WHAT THEY NEED IN ORDER TO CARE |
| 00:36:26 | FOR
SICK PATIENTS AND TO PROTECT |
| 00:36:28 | THEMSELVES.
CONSERVATION IN THIS |
| 00:36:31 | ENTIRE SITUATION IS PARAMOUNT.
WE HAVE TO TAKE THOSE STEPS. |
| 00:36:35 | IT'S ONE OF THE CRITICAL
MITIGATION |
| 00:36:37 | STEPS THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE
TO ENSURE THAT WE |
| 00:36:40 | HAVE THE THE
HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IN |
| 00:36:44 | PLACE
TO BE ABLE TO TO GO INTO |
| 00:36:47 | LEVERAGE
THOSE HOSPITALS OR THOSE HOTELS |
| 00:36:49 | THAT MIKE ABRAMS TALKED ABOUT.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY |
| 00:36:52 | ARE
PROTECTED FOR THE GUNSHOT WOUNDS |
| 00:36:54 | THAT THE DIRECTOR TALKED ABOUT,
AS |
| 00:36:56 | WELL AS THE BIRTHS THAT ARE
STILL |
| 00:36:57 | GOING TO HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE
DAY. |
| 00:36:59 | AND THOSE RISKS ARE STILL THERE.
THOSE IN THOSE INFECTIOUS |
| 00:37:04 | DISEASES AND THOSE IN CONTROL
PRACTICES ARE STILL VERY MUCH |
| 00:37:07 | REAL IN SPITE OF COVID 19.
SO ENSURING THAT EVERYONE IS |
| 00:37:11 | PROTECTED FROM OUR FIRST
RESPONDERS |
| 00:37:13 | TO OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS IS
REALLY, REALLY CRITICAL. |
| 00:37:16 | AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE
THAT OHIO HAS RECEIVED OUR FULL |
| 00:37:20 | ALLOCATION OF THE STOCKPILE.
IT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO GET |
| 00:37:23 | FOR
NOW. |
| 00:37:24 | I DON'T ANTICIPATE US RECEIVING
ANYTHING ADDITIONAL. |
| 00:37:27 | THEY HAVE COMMUNICATED THAT AS
SUCH. |
| 00:37:29 | AND SO WE ARE JUST GONNA HAVE TO
WORK TOGETHER ON THOSE |
| 00:37:32 | CONSERVATION
STEPS. |
| 00:37:33 | THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JOHN.
THANK YOU, GOVERNOR. |
| 00:37:41 | I WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE
ON A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE'VE |
| 00:37:44 | BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE LAST
COUPLE |
| 00:37:46 | OF DAYS, PARTICULARLY AS IT
RELATES |
| 00:37:48 | TO UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
WE HAVE EXPEDITED THE PROCESS |
| 00:37:54 | FOR ALLOWING SOMEONE TO QUALIFY
FOR |
| 00:37:56 | UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
WE ASKED YESTERDAY |
| 00:38:00 | THAT PEOPLE NOT USE THE PHONE
NUMBER |
| 00:38:02 | BUT USE UNEMPLOYMENT, NOT OHIO
DOT GOV. |
| 00:38:06 | THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING
TO THAT, BECAUSE UP UNTIL |
| 00:38:10 | YESTERDAY WE HAD A NINETY FIVE
MINUTE WAIT ON THE PHONES. |
| 00:38:14 | NOW WE'VE TRANSITION ABOUT 90
PERCENT OF THAT TO THE INTERNET. |
| 00:38:17 | AND THE WAIT TIME ON THE PHONE
WAS |
| 00:38:18 | DOWN TO 53 MINUTES.
ONLY 13 MINUTES ON THE WEB SITE. |
| 00:38:21 | SO WE'RE GETTING
QUITE A HIGH NUMBER OF PEOPLE |
| 00:38:25 | WHO
ARE BEING DISPLACED IN |
| 00:38:27 | THE ECONOMY DUE TO
THE ACTIONS THAT ARE BEING TAKEN |
| 00:38:31 | TO CONTROL THE SPREAD
OF THE CORONAVIRUS. |
| 00:38:36 | AND WE VERY
MUCH |
| 00:38:40 | APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COOPERATING
AND TRYING TO USE THE TOOLS THAT |
| 00:38:44 | WE'RE PROVIDING YOU AND THE MOST
EFFICIENT WAY. |
| 00:38:46 | A REMINDER TO EMPLOYERS.
WE GET CALLS EVERY DAY ABOUT |
| 00:38:51 | CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF
EMPLOYERS MIGHT BE SHUT DOWN. |
| 00:38:56 | LOOK, YOU CAN HELP YOURSELVES
HERE |
| 00:38:59 | BY MAKING SURE THAT IF YOU HAVE
AN EMPLOYEE WHO IS |
| 00:39:03 | ILL OR EXHIBITING SIGNS
THAT YOU SEND THEM HOME, THAT |
| 00:39:07 | YOU
SELF-QUARANTINE THEM, THEY |
| 00:39:09 | WOULD BE AT THAT POINT, IF YOU
DO |
| 00:39:10 | NOT HAVE A PAID LEAVE PROGRAM,
THEY |
| 00:39:12 | WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT |
| 00:39:14 | BENEFITS. WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD
THAT |
| 00:39:16 | SUPPORT SYSTEM AROUND PEOPLE
TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. |
| 00:39:20 | AND WE KNOW THAT THERE,
AS I'VE MENTIONED, THAT THERE |
| 00:39:24 | ARE
EMPLOYERS WHO AND THEIR |
| 00:39:26 | WORKFORCE WHO ARE STRUGGLING,
WHO |
| 00:39:28 | ARE STRUGGLING THERE.
THERE ALSO ARE SOME PLAYERS WHO |
| 00:39:30 | ARE
HIRING. |
| 00:39:32 | THERE ARE EMPLOYERS WHO HAVE A
GREAT DEMAND BECAUSE OF THE |
| 00:39:35 | NATURE
OF HOW THE SUPPLY CHAIN IS |
| 00:39:38 | WORKING.
FOR EXAMPLE, AMAZON IS IT |
| 00:39:40 | ANNOUNCED
THAT THEY WILL HIRE FORTY SIX |
| 00:39:41 | HUNDRED NEW PEOPLE
JUST IN OHIO ALONE AND WAREHOUSE |
| 00:39:46 | DRIVERS, CUSTOMER SERVICE
JOBS THAT ARE |
| 00:39:50 | GOOD PAYING JOBS.
AND WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE |
| 00:39:54 | TO LOOK AT THOSE OPTIONS.
AGAIN, I WILL REITERATE, |
| 00:39:58 | THE RESTAURANTS IN THIS STATE
ARE AVAILABLE FOR |
| 00:40:03 | CARRY OUT DINING
AND DELIVERY. |
| 00:40:07 | THESE INSTITUTIONS,
THESE RESTAURANTS COULD |
| 00:40:11 | REALLY USE YOUR SUPPORT DURING
THIS |
| 00:40:13 | DIFFICULT TIME.
AND IF YOU |
| 00:40:16 | CAN USE THEIR SERVICES, THEY
WOULD |
| 00:40:18 | REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
LET ME |
| 00:40:24 | ALSO ADD A BIT
OF NEW INFORMATION. |
| 00:40:28 | I'VE BEEN ON THE PHONE, AS YOU
MIGHT |
| 00:40:29 | IMAGINE, A LOT WITH SECRETARY OF
STATE FRANK LAROSE. |
| 00:40:32 | WE REALLY APPRECIATE HIS
HIS WORK IN SUPPORT OF |
| 00:40:39 | THE HEALTH CRISIS THAT WE ARE
ALL |
| 00:40:40 | FACING.
HE MADE IT KNOWN TO ME |
| 00:40:44 | THAT THE MADISON COUNTY BOARD
OF ELECTIONS VOTED TODAY TO |
| 00:40:48 | CLOSE
THE BOARD OFFICES BECAUSE A POLL |
| 00:40:50 | WORKER WHO HAD BEEN
IN THE OFFICE OVER THE PAST FEW |
| 00:40:54 | DAYS
FOR TRAINING AND PICKING |
| 00:40:56 | UP SUPPLIES AND WHO WAS AT A
POLLING |
| 00:40:58 | LOCATION, EXHIBITED
SYMPTOMS OF THE CORONAVIRUS, |
| 00:41:02 | AND THE POLL WORKER IS NOW
BEING TESTED. |
| 00:41:06 | THESE ARE
THE REASONS THAT THE |
| 00:41:10 | DIRECTOR, THE DIRECTOR OF
HEALTH AND |
| 00:41:12 | THE GOVERNOR MADE THE DECISION
THAT WAS MADE BECAUSE WE WANT |
| 00:41:15 | TO PROTECT PEOPLE.
AND I KNOW THAT MY |
| 00:41:19 | TELEPHONE LIT UP LAST NIGHT FROM
SOME OF MY ELECTED |
| 00:41:22 | OFFICIAL COLLEAGUES FROM AROUND
THE |
| 00:41:24 | STATE WHO
FELT THAT THE DISAPPOINTMENT |
| 00:41:29 | OF AN EXTENSION
OF THE VOTING PERIOD FOR |
| 00:41:35 | ELECTIONS.
AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT |
| 00:41:38 | OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO
DEMONSTRATE |
| 00:41:39 | THAT THEIR PUBLIC SERVANTS,
THAT WE ARE PUTTING THE PUBLIC'S |
| 00:41:43 | HEALTH INTERESTS AHEAD OF
OUR NEAR-TERM |
| 00:41:48 | POLITICAL INTERESTS AND
MAKING SURE THAT |
| 00:41:53 | INDIVIDUALS GET
A CHANCE TO VOTE AND THEY |
| 00:41:57 | CAN DO SO WITHOUT PUTTING THEIR
HEALTH IN JEOPARDY. |
| 00:41:59 | THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS
THAT |
| 00:42:02 | PUBLIC SERVANTS WITH A
PUBLIC SERVANT HEART SHOULD |
| 00:42:06 | REALLY
FOCUS ON TRYING TO EXHIBIT |
| 00:42:09 | DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES.
I WOULD ALSO ADD THAT ONE |
| 00:42:13 | OF THE THINGS SECRETARY LAROSE
EMPHASIZED LAST NIGHT |
| 00:42:17 | IS THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE
FOR |
| 00:42:19 | HIM TO HAVE RUN THE
ELECTION THIS MORNING BECAUSE OF |
| 00:42:23 | THE FACT THAT POLL WORKERS
AND WOULDN'T |
| 00:42:28 | SHOW UP AND THAT WOULD CREATE A
BIG |
| 00:42:29 | DISRUPTION.
THAT IS INDEED WHAT HAPPENED IN |
| 00:42:33 | THE
STATES WHERE THEY DID TRY TO |
| 00:42:35 | CONDUCT
ELECTIONS TODAY. |
| 00:42:37 | MANY CASES, POLL WORKERS JUST
DIDN'T |
| 00:42:39 | SHOW UP, THE POLLING
LOCATIONS COULDN'T OPEN. |
| 00:42:43 | AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TO
EXPERIENCE THAT TODAY. |
| 00:42:46 | AND WE WILL WORKING WITH
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND |
| 00:42:50 | THE COURTS, IDENTIFY A WAY
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN |
| 00:42:54 | ORDERLY
OPPORTUNITY, A SAFE OPPORTUNITY |
| 00:42:57 | FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE
IN THIS STATE. |
| 00:43:04 | ONE MORE COMMENT IN REGARD TO
HOSPITALS. |
| 00:43:08 | HOSPITALS HAVE CONTACTED US
IN REGARD TO THEIR WORKFORCE |
| 00:43:14 | AND IF REQUESTED, PERMISSION
TO BE ABLE TO SET UP CHILDCARE |
| 00:43:18 | FACILITIES RIGHT THERE.
WE KNOW FROM WHAT HAS HAPPENED |
| 00:43:22 | IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND
WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST |
| 00:43:26 | IS THAT A VIRUS LIKE
THIS CAN |
| 00:43:30 | ALSO HIT VERY HEAVILY
IN REGARD TO OUR HEALTH CARE |
| 00:43:33 | WORKERS. WE KNOW WE NEED THEM.
THE HOSPITALS UNDERSTAND THAT. |
| 00:43:38 | WE ALSO HAVE THE SITUATION WHERE
SCHOOL IS OUT AND |
| 00:43:43 | YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING
WHO |
| 00:43:45 | HAVE TO HAVE THEIR CHILDREN
TAKEN |
| 00:43:46 | CARE OF. SO WE WILL BE
MAKING AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THAT, |
| 00:43:49 | BUT
WE CERTAINLY WILL BE TAKING |
| 00:43:51 | CARE OF
THAT AS WE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. |
| 00:43:55 | ALSO, IN REGARD TO JONGE
COMMENTS ABOUT CARRY OUT, |
| 00:44:01 | MY GRANDDAUGHTER CAROLINE AND
IZZY AND I WILL BE PICKING |
| 00:44:05 | UP SOME IRISH FOOD TONIGHT AND
BE TAKING IT BACK TO THEIR HOME |
| 00:44:10 | AND ALSO TAKING IT TO THEIR
GRANDMOTHER. |
| 00:44:13 | MY WIFE, FRAN.
AND SO WE ENCOURAGE OTHER PEOPLE |
| 00:44:16 | TO DO THAT.
THIS IS A WAY THAT WE CAN |
| 00:44:18 | SUPPORT
THE RESTAURANTS. |
| 00:44:20 | IT'S ALSO GREAT FOOD AND
IT'S A WAY THAT WE CAN, YOU |
| 00:44:24 | KNOW,
TRY TO CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK'S |
| 00:44:26 | DAY IN A SPECIAL WAY
THAT WE HAVE TO AFTER CELEBRATED |
| 00:44:30 | TODAY.
THANK YOU. |
| 00:44:32 | QUESTIONS.
AND LET ME JUST INDICATE TO OUR |
| 00:44:35 | VIEWERS, I DON'T THINK I DID
THIS. |
| 00:44:37 | I AM ACTUALLY LOOKING AT
MEMBERS OF THE |
| 00:44:42 | PRESS CORPS, NEWS CORPS,
AND THEY WILL BE ASKING |
| 00:44:46 | QUESTIONS.
I WILL ACTUALLY BE LOOKING AT |
| 00:44:48 | THEM.
THOSE OF YOU ON TV, YOU WILL |
| 00:44:49 | NOT BE
ABLE SEE THEM, BUT YOU WILL |
| 00:44:51 | BE ABLE TO HEAR THEM AS THEY'RE
SPEAKING RIGHT DIRECTLY INTO A |
| 00:44:55 | MIC.
AND I'VE GOT ONE ROOM OVER HERE, |
| 00:44:56 | AND ONE ROOM OVER HERE.
AND AGAIN, I'M LOOKING AT THE |
| 00:44:59 | THE TV
CAMERAS IN THEIR ROOMS ARE NOT |
| 00:45:01 | VERY
FAR FROM THERE. |
| 00:45:02 | ALSO IN THE IN THE CAPITOL
BUILDING |
| 00:45:05 | HERE.
HELLO, EVERYBODY. |
| 00:45:09 | HELLO. HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY,
EVERYONE. |
| 00:45:12 | LOUANN STOYA, ABC 6 FOX 28.
COLUMBUS GOVERNOR, COULD YOU |
| 00:45:16 | PLEASE
GIVE SOME DIRECTION? |
| 00:45:17 | WE'VE HAD VIEWERS AND FUNERAL
DIRECTORS ASKING US FOR |
| 00:45:21 | MORE DIRECTION ON FUNERALS.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE CONGREGATING |
| 00:45:26 | IN LARGER NUMBERS AND
WANTING TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS, |
| 00:45:29 | BUT
THEY ARE REACHING OUT AND |
| 00:45:31 | WONDERING
IF THERE'S GOING TO BE FURTHER |
| 00:45:33 | GUIDANCE ON FUNERALS AND
MEMORIAL SERVICES. |
| 00:45:37 | WELL, THIS IS CERTAINLY VERY
DIFFICULT FOR FAMILIES. |
| 00:45:42 | I CAN TELL YOU WE'VE BEEN --WE
WERE |
| 00:45:44 | CONTACTED BY A FRIEND
OF MINE WHO |
| 00:45:48 | HIS FAMILY WHO DIED.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE |
| 00:45:51 | TALKING ABOUT HOW DO WE DEAL
WITH |
| 00:45:53 | THIS? HOW DO WE DEAL WITH A BIG
FUNERAL? |
| 00:45:55 | THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR OWN |
| 00:45:58 | SERVICE, BUT THEY WOULD POSTPONE
THE THE PUBLIC SERVICE UNTIL |
| 00:46:03 | LATER.
LOOK, THE SUN'S GOING TO COME |
| 00:46:05 | OUT
AGAIN. |
| 00:46:06 | WE ARE GOING TO GET BACK TO
NORMAL. |
| 00:46:08 | SO WE WOULD JUST ASK
PEOPLE AND THAT'S A VERY |
| 00:46:12 | DIFFICULT
SITUATION. SAME THING WITH |
| 00:46:14 | WEDDINGS,
PEOPLE, A PLAN, WEDDINGS FOR A |
| 00:46:16 | LONG,
LONG TIME. |
| 00:46:17 | AND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN,
WE WOULD JUST ASK THEM TO FIGURE |
| 00:46:22 | OUT A WAY TO CELEBRATE THE
WEDDING, |
| 00:46:24 | BUT MAYBE POSTPONE THE BIG THE
BIG |
| 00:46:26 | CELEBRATION.
THE LAST THING THAT ANY OF US |
| 00:46:29 | WANT
IS TO FOR A FUNERAL OR A WEDDING |
| 00:46:31 | TO BE THE CAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE
DYING. |
| 00:46:35 | YOU KNOW, A VERY HAPPY OCCASION
AS FAR AS A WEDDING. |
| 00:46:38 | YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE IN THE
FAMILY |
| 00:46:39 | TO GET SICK.
OBVIOUSLY, IT'S DIFFICULT FOR |
| 00:46:42 | RELATIVES FROM OUT OF STATE NOW
TO |
| 00:46:44 | GET IN.
SO, AGAIN, I THINK JUST |
| 00:46:47 | COMMON SENSE.
TRY TO WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH |
| 00:46:51 | THIS.
IT'S NOT EASY. |
| 00:46:52 | AND I I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT YOUR ACTIONS |
| 00:46:56 | WILL WILL IMPACT
THE SAFETY OF YOUR FAMILY, |
| 00:47:00 | YOUR LOVED ONES, AND THOSE WHO
YOU |
| 00:47:02 | DON'T EVEN KNOW.
HI, GOVERNOR MOLLY MARTINEZ, |
| 00:47:05 | SPECTRUM NEWS.
I'M WONDERING IF YOU COULD JUST |
| 00:47:07 | TALK
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LAST NIGHT |
| 00:47:09 | AND
SORT OF THE CONSTITUTIONALITY IN |
| 00:47:11 | MAKING THAT CALL AND MAKING
THAT HEALTH EMERGENCY AND |
| 00:47:14 | PUSHING
BACK THE ELECTION. |
| 00:47:16 | SORT OF WHAT WERE YOUR OPTIONS
AND |
| 00:47:17 | WHAT WAS YOUR LINE OF THINKING
LAST |
| 00:47:19 | NIGHT?
WELL, WE WE FELT |
| 00:47:22 | INITIALLY, AS I INDICATED
YESTERDAY |
| 00:47:24 | ABOUT THIS TIME, THAT THERE
WOULD BE |
| 00:47:26 | A LAWSUIT FILED,
THAT WE WOULD GO INTO COURT |
| 00:47:30 | AND THAT WE WOULD GET AN ORDER
EXTENDING BASICALLY EXTENDING |
| 00:47:33 | THE
ELECTION TO |
| 00:47:37 | ALLOW AMPLE, AMPLE,
AMPLE TIME FOR ABSENTEE |
| 00:47:41 | VOTING.
AND THEN THE ELECTION ITSELF ON |
| 00:47:43 | ON
JUNE 2ND. |
| 00:47:46 | THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
AND WE HAD A JUDGE IN FRANKLIN |
| 00:47:49 | COUNTY WHO MADE A DIFFERENT,
DIFFERENT DECISION. |
| 00:47:53 | AND WE WERE FACED AT 10
O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT WHEN WE MADE |
| 00:47:57 | THE FINAL DECISION OF
THE SITUATION THAT WE NEEDED TO |
| 00:48:00 | SIGNAL VERY QUICKLY
TO POLL WORKERS, TO VOTERS |
| 00:48:06 | WHAT THE SITUATION WAS.
AND IT WAS CLEAR THAT IN IN THE |
| 00:48:09 | COURTS WE COULD HAVE APPEALED
IT, BUT |
| 00:48:14 | THAT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED OVER
THE |
| 00:48:15 | NIGHT TIME.
AND EVEN IF WE'RE LUCKY THAT |
| 00:48:17 | DECISION MAY HAVE BEEN MADE IN
EARLY |
| 00:48:19 | MORNING, PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAD
MUCH |
| 00:48:21 | NOTICE.
SO WE HAD AN EMINENT HEALTH |
| 00:48:25 | CRISIS.
WE HAD TO DEAL WITH |
| 00:48:27 | THE DIRECTOR OF HEALTH.
BASED UPON EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS, |
| 00:48:31 | BASED UPON ALL THE EVIDENCE,
BASED UPON CONSULTATION WITH |
| 00:48:34 | FRANK
LAROSE ABOUT HOW THIS |
| 00:48:37 | WOULD COME DOWN, IF, IN FACT
THERE |
| 00:48:39 | WAS A
ELECTION AS WE NORMALLY |
| 00:48:43 | ANTICIPATED
IT AND SHE MADE THAT DECISION. |
| 00:48:45 | I FULLY, FULLY SUPPORT
THAT DECISION. |
| 00:48:49 | AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET THAT
OUT, I |
| 00:48:51 | THINK, BY SOME 10 O'CLOCK
NEWS ABOUT ABOUT 10, FIFTEEN |
| 00:48:55 | TO 20. AND THEN, OF COURSE, FOR
THE |
| 00:48:56 | 11:00 O'CLOCK NEWS.
I THINK EVERYBODY ACROSS THE |
| 00:48:59 | STATE
HAD HAD HAD THE STORY. |
| 00:49:01 | THOSE OF YOU WHO ON THE PRINT
SIDE WERE PUTTING THOSE STORIES |
| 00:49:05 | UP.
SO WE DID WHAT WE NEED TO |
| 00:49:07 | DO TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE,
THE STATE OF OHIO. |
| 00:49:10 | AND SO IT WAS A DECISION
THAT I FULLY SUPPORT. |
| 00:49:13 | IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION.
NOW, OUR GOAL MUST BE TO |
| 00:49:18 | ALLOW PEOPLE WHAT WE SAID
YESTERDAY, |
| 00:49:19 | ALLOW PEOPLE TO VOTE, GIVE THEM
AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE AND |
| 00:49:23 | EITHER THROUGH THE STATE
LEGISLATURE |
| 00:49:25 | OR THROUGH THE COURTS.
I'M CONFIDENT THAT THAT WILL |
| 00:49:27 | THAT
WILL HAPPEN. |
| 00:49:30 | GOVERNOR, JIM OTTE FROM WHIO TV
HERE IN DAYTON. THANKS. |
| 00:49:33 | SO FAR ACROSS THE BOARD, IT
APPEARS |
| 00:49:35 | THAT PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY
ACROSS |
| 00:49:37 | THE STATE, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY NOT
LIKE WHAT EVERYTHING YOU'RE |
| 00:49:39 | DOING,
THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH IT. |
| 00:49:41 | YET LAST NIGHT WHEN YOU WENT TO
DELAY THE ELECTION, A COUPLE OF |
| 00:49:44 | LAWMAKERS, INCLUDING ONE FROM
THE |
| 00:49:45 | MIAMI VALLEY, ACTUALLY TRIED TO
STOP |
| 00:49:47 | YOU. AND HAVE THIS ELECTION
ACTUALLY |
| 00:49:48 | OCCUR TODAY.
DOES THAT CONCERN YOU? |
| 00:49:51 | YOUR REACTION?
AND GOING FORWARD, DO YOU HAVE |
| 00:49:54 | ANY
ASSURANCE THAT THE LEGISLATURE |
| 00:49:57 | WILL
GO ALONG WITH YOU, WITH YOUR |
| 00:49:59 | PLAN TO HAVE THIS ELECTION ON
JUNE |
| 00:50:01 | 2ND? WHAT'S NEXT?
WELL, WE'RE OPEN CERTAINLY TO |
| 00:50:05 | DISCUSS THAT.
THERE'S NOTHING MAGIC ABOUT JUNE |
| 00:50:08 | 2ND.
THE DATE WAS PICKED BECAUSE IT |
| 00:50:11 | WOULD
GIVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR |
| 00:50:13 | PEOPLE TO HAVE ABSENTEE BALLOTS
AND TO VOTE. |
| 00:50:16 | IT WOULD ALSO, WE FELT WOULD
BE THE TIME |
| 00:50:20 | SECRETARY OF STATE FELT IT WAS
WITHIN THE TIME IN WHICH |
| 00:50:24 | WE WOULD HAVE TO PICK DELEGATES.
SO THE DEMOCRATS WOULD PICK |
| 00:50:26 | THEIR
DELEGATES. REPUBLICANS WOULD |
| 00:50:27 | PICK
THEIR DELEGATES. AND THAT WOULD |
| 00:50:29 | THAT
WOULD BE IN TIME. |
| 00:50:30 | WELL, THERE'S NOTHING MAGICAL
ABOUT |
| 00:50:32 | THAT DATE.
BUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT, |
| 00:50:35 | AS WE DISCUSSED THIS, IS
THAT PEOPLE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY |
| 00:50:39 | TO VOTE OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD
OF |
| 00:50:40 | TIME.
AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE THIS IS |
| 00:50:44 | EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.
TO QUOTE ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, |
| 00:50:50 | AS SHE TALKED ABOUT WORLD WAR
TWO, |
| 00:50:52 | THIS IS SHE SAID THIS IS NO
ORDINARY |
| 00:50:54 | TIME.
THIS IS NO ORDINARY TIME IN |
| 00:50:56 | OHIO.
THIS IS NO ORDINARY TIME IN THE |
| 00:50:58 | UNITED STATES.
AND SO. |
| 00:51:01 | WE HAVE TO PRESERVE ALL THE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. |
| 00:51:05 | IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WRONG TO
COMPEL |
| 00:51:07 | PEOPLE TO MAKE A DECISION
TODAY WHETHER THEY WERE |
| 00:51:11 | GOING TO RISK THEIR HEALTH.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPROMISED |
| 00:51:15 | HEALTH WISHED THEIR HEALTH.
TO EXERCISE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL |
| 00:51:19 | RIGHT, THAT IS WRONG.
AND SO I THINK DEMOCRATS, |
| 00:51:22 | REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS,
WHOEVER YOU ARE, WE |
| 00:51:26 | ALL SHOULD BE IN FAVOR OF AMPLE
OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY OHIO |
| 00:51:29 | CITIZEN
TO VOTE. |
| 00:51:31 | AND THAT WILL BE.
THAT'S KIND OF THE BOTTOM LINE |
| 00:51:34 | AS WE
TALK TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE, |
| 00:51:36 | AS WE TALK TO THE COURTS.
THAT'S WHAT WE THINK IS IS IS |
| 00:51:40 | VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
AND I AM CONFIDENT |
| 00:51:44 | THAT WE CAN PROTECT PEOPLE'S
RIGHTS |
| 00:51:46 | AND GIVE THEM THAT TIME AND
AGAIN. |
| 00:51:47 | I WANT TO EMPHASIZE WHY
THAT EXTRA TIME IS REALLY, |
| 00:51:51 | REALLY
NECESSARY. |
| 00:51:53 | AND IT IS NECESSARY BECAUSE
THIS |
| 00:51:58 | VIRUS INFECTION IS GOING TO
CONTINUE |
| 00:52:00 | TO HIT OHIOANS.
AND SO WE DON'T WANT ANYONE |
| 00:52:04 | IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY CANNOT
VOTE. WE WANT TO GIVE THEM |
| 00:52:08 | PLENTY OF
TIME, AS MUCH TIME AS HUMANLY |
| 00:52:10 | POSSIBLE.
UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A |
| 00:52:14 | PRIMARY
AND WE'RE GOING TO AMPLE TIME |
| 00:52:16 | FOR PEOPLE TO CAMPAIGN FOR THE
NOVEMBER ELECTION. |
| 00:52:20 | SO GOVERNOR JIM PROVINCE, WITH
THE |
| 00:52:22 | TOLEDO BLADE
LAST NIGHT, ONE OF THE REASONS |
| 00:52:25 | YOU
DIDN'T GET THE DECISION YOU |
| 00:52:26 | WANTED
FROM THE JUDGE WAS BECAUSE YOU |
| 00:52:28 | HADN'T CALLED IN THE
LEGISLATURE TO |
| 00:52:29 | CONSIDER THIS FIRST.
WAS THERE DISCUSSION YESTERDAY |
| 00:52:32 | ABOUT
DOING THAT? |
| 00:52:34 | AND WAS THERE EVER, EVER IN YOUR
MIND THE IDEA THAT THE |
| 00:52:37 | LEGISLATURE
SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO YOUR 50 AND |
| 00:52:39 | FEWER WHEN IT COMES TO MASS
GATHERINGS? |
| 00:52:43 | NO.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE IF YOU LOOK |
| 00:52:46 | AT
THE |
| 00:52:48 | ORDERS, WE WE EXEMPTED
OUT BUSINESSES. |
| 00:52:51 | WE KNOW PEOPLE GO INTO WORK,
BASICALLY, THEY'RE CERTAINLY |
| 00:52:54 | GOING TO WORK.
WE'RE ALSO EXCLUDED OUT |
| 00:52:58 | EXERCISING
THE FIRST AMENDMENT. |
| 00:53:00 | SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THEY
WOULD HAVE TO DETERMINE HOW THEY |
| 00:53:03 | COULD DO THAT.
AND I WILL NOT INFRINGE UPON |
| 00:53:06 | THERE'S A SEPARATE BRANCH OF
GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:53:08 | BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE CERTAINLY
ARE WAYS IF THEY WANT TO SPREAD |
| 00:53:12 | OUT,
THEY COULD DO THAT AS THEY |
| 00:53:13 | VOTED.
THEY COULD VOTE. |
| 00:53:15 | SOME PEOPLE COME IN AND VOTE.
MY EXPERIENCES AS UNITED STATES |
| 00:53:18 | CONGRESS WERE SOMETIMES OVER A
30 |
| 00:53:19 | MINUTE PERIOD OF TIME.
PEOPLE COME IN AND VOTE. |
| 00:53:22 | AND SO YOU NEVER HAVE A HUGE
NUMBER |
| 00:53:23 | OF PEOPLE IN THE CHAMBER.
SO THERE'S WAYS OF WORKING THAT |
| 00:53:25 | OUT.
BUT WE WOULD NOT INFRINGE UPON |
| 00:53:27 | THEIR RIGHTS.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE |
| 00:53:30 | WE EXCLUDED THEM OUT
ANYWAY. |
| 00:53:33 | I WOULD JUST ASSUME THAT THE
SPEAKER |
| 00:53:36 | AND THE SENATE PRESIDENT AND THE
DEMOCRAT LEADERS WOULD WANT TO |
| 00:53:39 | PROTECT THEIR MEMBERS AS WELL.
AND I'M SURE THAT THEY WILL. |
| 00:53:42 | THEY WOULD THEY WOULD DO THAT.
DID YOU CONSIDER CALLING THE |
| 00:53:45 | LEGISLATURE IN LAST NIGHT?
WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT |
| 00:53:48 | EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A QUESTION OF |
| 00:53:50 | TIME.
AND, YOU KNOW, |
| 00:53:52 | WE WOULD NORMALLY APPEAL THIS
AND WORKED ITS WAY THROUGH THE |
| 00:53:56 | COURTS, BUT WE
FELT THAT WE |
| 00:54:00 | HAD TO TELL PEOPLE BY 10:00.
WE ALSO FELT THAT WE HAD A |
| 00:54:04 | PUBLIC
HEALTH EMERGENCY WITH |
| 00:54:06 | A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS.
WE COULD NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. |
| 00:54:09 | WE COULD NOT HAVE PEOPLE SHOW UP
TO THE POLLS. WE COULD NOT HAVE |
| 00:54:13 | POLL
WORKERS SHOW UP. |
| 00:54:14 | AND SO WE MADE THE DECISION.
THE DIRECTOR MADE THE DECISION, |
| 00:54:18 | WHICH I FULLY, FULLY SUPPORT.
GOVERNOR ANDY CHOW WITH OHIO |
| 00:54:22 | PUBLIC
RADIO AND TELEVISION STATEHOUSE |
| 00:54:24 | NEWS
BUREAU, WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT |
| 00:54:26 | ISSUES COMING UP, WITH BARS AND
RESTAURANTS CLOSING IN AND |
| 00:54:29 | COMPANIES
DEALING WITH ALL SORTS OF |
| 00:54:32 | ISSUES.
WE'VE HEARD YOU TALK ABOUT THE |
| 00:54:34 | ISSUE
OF, YOU KNOW, LOST WAGES AND |
| 00:54:35 | LOST
REVENUE. DO YOU FORESEE AT SOME |
| 00:54:37 | POINT YOU DIPPING INTO THE RAINY
DAY FUND TO SORT OF OFFSET SOME |
| 00:54:41 | OF
THE ISSUES? AND DO YOU THINK |
| 00:54:42 | THAT
THIS GIVES YOU THE AUTHORITY |
| 00:54:44 | BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS THAT
ARE |
| 00:54:45 | HAPPENING? DOES THIS GIVE YOU
THE |
| 00:54:46 | AUTHORITY TO DIP INTO THE RAINY
DAY |
| 00:54:48 | FUND?
WELL, THIS IS A CRISIS OF |
| 00:54:51 | MONUMENTAL
PROPORTIONS. |
| 00:54:53 | SO THAT MONEY IS AVAILABLE.
IT WAS SET ASIDE BY THE |
| 00:54:57 | LEGISLATURE
AND THE PREVIOUS GOVERNOR, |
| 00:54:58 | GOVERNOR
KASICH, FOR PURPOSES |
| 00:55:01 | LIKE THIS.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE |
| 00:55:04 | GOING TO BE VERY PRUDENT ABOUT
HOW WE DO THAT. |
| 00:55:07 | WE'VE NOT MADE THAT DECISION TO
DIP |
| 00:55:09 | INTO IT, BUT
THAT MONEY IS AVAILABLE. |
| 00:55:13 | IT WAS SET ASIDE FOR
DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. |
| 00:55:17 | AND CERTAINLY WE'RE IN VERY
DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. |
| 00:55:20 | SO THAT MONEY IS CERTAINLY
AVAILABLE. |
| 00:55:23 | THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU
KNOW, |
| 00:55:24 | OBVIOUSLY WE DO IN CONSULTATION
WITH EVERYONE, CERTAINLY |
| 00:55:29 | INCLUDING THE THE THE
LEGISLATIVE |
| 00:55:32 | LEADERS.
BUT THAT MONEY IS AVAILABLE. |
| 00:55:36 | HELLO, GOVERNOR KEVIN LANDERS,
WBNS |
| 00:55:38 | TV, DR.
ACTON, AND YOU SAID THAT THERE |
| 00:55:41 | IS
QUOTE, THERE IS NO SCENARIO THAT |
| 00:55:43 | WE DON'T HAVE A SURGE
IN ORDER TO FLATTEN THAT CURVE |
| 00:55:47 | AND YOU HAVE BROAD POWERS AS A
HEALTH DIRECTOR. |
| 00:55:50 | AT WHAT POINT AT WHAT THRESHOLD
YOU DECIDE TO SHELTER IN PLACE |
| 00:55:53 | FOR
OUR COMMUNITY. |
| 00:55:57 | THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT
QUESTION, |
| 00:55:58 | KEVIN.
IT WILL BE A VERY COMPLICATED |
| 00:56:02 | SET OF FACTORS
AND SOME ESSENCES, YOU KNOW, |
| 00:56:05 | AND IN
TALKING TO MY SONS IN SAN |
| 00:56:08 | FRANCISCO
WHAT WE'VE SAID BEFORE, YOU |
| 00:56:10 | WILL BE
ABLE TO GET FOOD EVEN IN CHINA. |
| 00:56:13 | EVEN IN ITALY, THERE ARE YOU
KNOW, |
| 00:56:15 | PEOPLE ARE GETTING OUT.
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE STORE |
| 00:56:17 | STOCKED AND WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE
TO |
| 00:56:18 | GET MEDICINES
AND AND THOSE BASIC NECESSITIES. |
| 00:56:23 | SO WHILE PEOPLE EVEN
IN SAN FRANCISCO ARE SHELTERING |
| 00:56:26 | IN
PLACE AND SHELTER IN PLACE, |
| 00:56:29 | IT'S A VERY HARD TERM AS A MOM
TO |
| 00:56:30 | HEAR. BUT IT ACTUALLY IS
A TERM THAT'S USED IN |
| 00:56:34 | THEIR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM. |
| 00:56:36 | SO FOR THEM, THAT IS THE WORD
YOU PROBABLY WON'T HEAR ME USE |
| 00:56:40 | THAT
WORD. BUT IN EFFECT, THAT'S |
| 00:56:41 | KIND OF
WHAT WE ARE DOING IN OHIO |
| 00:56:44 | IN A VERY GENTLE WAY.
BUT AGAIN, IF WE SEE |
| 00:56:48 | THAT BEGINNING RISE ON OUR
RESOURCES, ON OUR HEALTH SYSTEM, |
| 00:56:52 | IF WE SEE, YOU KNOW,
WORSENING ICU UNIT USE |
| 00:56:56 | THAT DOES START TO PRESS A
THREAT |
| 00:56:58 | ON US, IT'S GOING TO BE AN
AMALGAM OF FACTORS, |
| 00:57:03 | BUT THAT WE WOULD ASK EVEN MORE
STRICT RESTRICTIONS. |
| 00:57:06 | AGAIN, WE REALLY ARE IN OHIO
RIGHT |
| 00:57:08 | NOW AT A PLACE WHERE WE'RE
ASKING |
| 00:57:09 | PEOPLE TO REALLY ASK US
QUESTIONS. |
| 00:57:11 | IS THIS ESSENTIAL IN
EVERYTHING YOU DO? |
| 00:57:15 | AND THAT INCLUDES WORK.
AND I KNOW MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE |
| 00:57:18 | FIGURE OUT WAYS TO WORK FROM
HOME. |
| 00:57:19 | THAT'S NOT ALL POSSIBLE AND ARE
CENTRAL WORKERS |
| 00:57:23 | AND A LOT OF LABOR SITUATIONS.
WE'RE JUST HEARING ABOUT AMAZON |
| 00:57:26 | AND
YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA BE GETTING |
| 00:57:27 | PACKAGES OF THINGS OUT TO PEOPLE
THAT SUPPLY CHAIN STILL GOING. |
| 00:57:31 | SO WE'RE GONNA NEED TO KEEP
THOSE |
| 00:57:32 | FOLKS OUT THERE
AND REALLY KEEP, YOU |
| 00:57:36 | KNOW, THE FEW YOU KNOW, EVEN IN
MY |
| 00:57:37 | TEAM, WE ARE TAKING TURNS
BEING HERE. |
| 00:57:40 | WE'RE DOING EVERY CALL WE CAN BY
CONFERENCE CALL ALSO THAT WE |
| 00:57:43 | DON'T HAVE TO PULL ANY MORE OF
THOSE WHAT WE CALL TRIGGERS. |
| 00:57:47 | SO WE'LL KEEP YOU ABREAST
AS WE MAKE EVERY DECISION AND |
| 00:57:51 | WE'LL
LET YOU KNOW OUR THINKING AS WE |
| 00:57:53 | MAKE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN
GRADUALLY. |
| 00:57:55 | HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, IT WON'T BE
SOMETHING SUDDEN. |
| 00:57:58 | LET ME JUST ADD TO THAT.
I KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY |
| 00:58:00 | DOING
THAT. |
| 00:58:01 | PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE IT MADE A
DECISION BECAUSE OF |
| 00:58:04 | THEIR HEALTH SITUATION, BECAUSE
OF |
| 00:58:06 | THEIR AGE
TO DO THAT. |
| 00:58:09 | AND THEY'RE VOLUNTARILY DOING
THAT. |
| 00:58:12 | CERTAINLY WE RECOMMEND ANYBODY
WHO |
| 00:58:14 | CAN DO THAT, PARTICULARLY
PEOPLE WHO |
| 00:58:15 | HAVE HAVE A PARTICULAR HEALTH
REASON TO REALLY, |
| 00:58:20 | REALLY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE |
| 00:58:21 | THEY COME IN CONTACT WITH.
AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I WOULD |
| 00:58:24 | JUST
SAY TO MY FELLOW |
| 00:58:26 | OHIOANS, WE'RE ALL NOT ALL IN
THIS TOGETHER. |
| 00:58:29 | IF YOU GOT A NEIGHBOR WHO'S
ELDERLY, |
| 00:58:31 | IF YOU'VE GOT A NEIGHBOR WHO
HAS A |
| 00:58:33 | PARTICULAR
PARTICULAR HEALTH |
| 00:58:37 | ISSUE, YOU KNOW,
GET THEM SOME FOOD, HELP THEM |
| 00:58:41 | OUT.
WE'VE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF EACH |
| 00:58:43 | OTHER. BUT OHIOANS ARE DOING
THIS |
| 00:58:44 | AND OHIOANS WHO PARTICULARLY
THOSE |
| 00:58:46 | IN THAT SITUATION, REALLY NEED
TO BE |
| 00:58:48 | VERY, VERY, VERY CAREFUL.
GOOD AFTERNOON, GOVERNOR, RANDI |
| 00:58:52 | LEVO
WITH THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH. |
| 00:58:55 | THE CDC ISSUED ITS GUIDANCE
REVISED ON SUNDAY TO LIMIT |
| 00:59:00 | MASS GATHERINGS TO 50 PEOPLE.
WHY NOT CAST THE |
| 00:59:05 | PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER TO CLOSE THE
POLLS ON SUNDAY NIGHT |
| 00:59:09 | OR MONDAY MORNING TO AVOID CAST
THEIR LOT WITH THE UNCERTAINTY |
| 00:59:12 | OF
THE COURTS AND THE ENSUING |
| 00:59:15 | CHAOS?
WELL, ALREADY THAT'S A GOOD |
| 00:59:17 | THAT'S
A GOOD QUESTION. |
| 00:59:19 | LOOK, WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE THESE
THINGS. WANTED WANTED TIME |
| 00:59:23 | WOULD HAVE BEEN PREFERABLE TO
HAVE |
| 00:59:25 | THAT DECISION MADE BEFORE IT WAS
MADE. YES, ABSOLUTELY. |
| 00:59:30 | BUT YOU HAD A LOT THINGS
STARTING TO |
| 00:59:32 | COME TOGETHER THAT
MORNING, ON MONDAY MORNING. |
| 00:59:36 | AND LET ME JUST RECITE A COUPLE.
THAT ONE. ONE, OF COURSE, WAS, |
| 00:59:40 | YOU KNOW, FIRST TIME, YOU KNOW,
WE |
| 00:59:42 | STARTED SEEING THAT THE CDC
WHILE WAS ISSUED THE NIGHT |
| 00:59:45 | BEFORE WE
LOOKED AT. |
| 00:59:47 | THAT'S IMPORTANT.
BUT THE OTHER THING THAT, |
| 00:59:51 | YOU KNOW, WHEN WE STARTED
TALKING TO |
| 00:59:53 | FRANK LA ROSE
AND THE THE |
| 00:59:57 | LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR I BOTH
STARTED |
| 00:59:59 | RECEIVING ON MONDAY
MORNING |
| 01:00:03 | INDICATIONS FROM PEOPLE
AS THEY CONTEMPLATED WHAT THEY |
| 01:00:06 | WERE
GOING TO DO THE NEXT DAY. |
| 01:00:08 | AT THIS POINT, NO LONGER CAN
GET AN ABSENTEE BALLOT. |
| 01:00:12 | PEOPLE WERE SAYING IT
WAS JUST STARTING TO SINK IN TO |
| 01:00:16 | SOME
PEOPLE WITH ALL THE |
| 01:00:18 | THINGS THAT SWIRLING AROUND
THAT IT WAS |
| 01:00:22 | IT WAS NOT GOOD FOR THEM TO GO
VOTE. |
| 01:00:24 | IF YOU LOOKED AT THE NEWS
MONDAY MORNING, FIRST THING I |
| 01:00:28 | SAW
COMING UP ON ON ON THE NEWS ON |
| 01:00:30 | TV
THAT MORNING, THE MESSAGE WAS |
| 01:00:32 | COMING
OUT VERY, VERY HARD TO PEOPLE. |
| 01:00:35 | IF YOU HAVE A COMPROMISED
MEDICAL |
| 01:00:36 | SITUATION OR YOUR FEAR
ORDER, YOU KNOW, REALLY, YOU |
| 01:00:40 | SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT AT ALL.
AND SO THEN WE STARTED |
| 01:00:43 | LOOKING AT THIS AND SAID, LOOK,
THERE'S TWO MESSAGES COMING OUT, |
| 01:00:47 | MESSAGES VOTE.
WE WANT EVERYBODY TO VOTE. |
| 01:00:49 | MESSAGE AT SAME TIME IS,
YOU KNOW, MANY PEOPLE SHOULD BE |
| 01:00:53 | STAY
AT HOME. |
| 01:00:54 | AND SO. HOW DO YOU PUT THOSE TWO
MESSAGES TOGETHER? |
| 01:00:57 | AND WE'RE SENDING MIXED SIGNALS
TO |
| 01:00:58 | PEOPLE AND THEY WERE
GETTING THOSE MIXED SIGNALS |
| 01:01:02 | THROUGHOUT, NOT JUST FROM US BUT
FROM THEM, FROM EVERYBODY |
| 01:01:05 | NATIONWIDE.
AND THEY THEN HAD TO MAKE |
| 01:01:08 | A DECISION, WHICH DO I DO
THAT IS NOT HELPFUL |
| 01:01:13 | FOR PEOPLE BEING ABLE
TO EXERCISE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL |
| 01:01:17 | RIGHTS?
THAT IS IT REALLY |
| 01:01:20 | THE MESSAGES THEY WERE GETTING
AND |
| 01:01:22 | NO ONE INTENDED IT THIS WAY.
BUT THE MESSAGES THEY WERE |
| 01:01:25 | GETTING
WAS THAT WAS VOTE SUPPRESSION |
| 01:01:28 | AND THAT WAS GOING TO TAMP DOWN
THE |
| 01:01:29 | VOTE. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING |
| 01:01:31 | IS FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS, THEY
WERE |
| 01:01:33 | BEING PRESENTED WITH A VERY,
VERY |
| 01:01:34 | DIFFICULT CHOICE.
THE MORE WE LOOKED AT IT AND THE |
| 01:01:37 | MORE WE LOOKED AT THAT, THAT DAY
CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT |
| 01:01:41 | THIS ELECTION JUST
IS NORMALLY SET, |
| 01:01:46 | COULD NOT TAKE PLACE AND
PRESERVE |
| 01:01:48 | THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE, THE
STATE |
| 01:01:49 | OF OHIO.
AND SO SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE |
| 01:01:52 | EARLIER.
LOOK, WE CAN WE CAN ALL LOOK |
| 01:01:54 | LOOK
BACK AND SAY, I WISH I'D DONE |
| 01:01:57 | THAT. I WISH I'D MADE IT
EARLIER. |
| 01:01:59 | BUT THAT'S WHEN WE MADE
THAT DECISION. |
| 01:02:02 | AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
HI, GOVERNOR, THIS IS LAURA |
| 01:02:09 | BISHOFF,
DAYTON DAILY NEWS. |
| 01:02:11 | BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2014, DURING
THE EBOLA SCARE. |
| 01:02:15 | OHIO PURCHASED
SOME 23000 SETS OF PPE. |
| 01:02:19 | I'M WONDERING IF THAT MATERIAL
IS STILL AVAILABLE, WHAT |
| 01:02:22 | HAPPENED TO
IT? AND IF MS. |
| 01:02:24 | MCBRIDE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GIVE US
SOME MORE INFORMATION, MORE |
| 01:02:27 | DETAILS
ON THE NATIONAL STOCKPILE |
| 01:02:30 | RELEASE, HOW MUCH
DID WE RECEIVE AND |
| 01:02:34 | WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE NEED
IS FILLED BY THAT? |
| 01:02:37 | YEAH. SO WE DO HAVE
THE CASH AND EVEN SOME FROM |
| 01:02:42 | H1N1,
TO BE QUITE HONEST. |
| 01:02:43 | SO THE LIMITED AMOUNT THAT
WAS PURCHASED DURING H1N1 |
| 01:02:47 | AS WELL AS DURING EBOLA.
THOSE RESOURCES ARE ALSO |
| 01:02:50 | AVAILABLE,
BUT THEY ARE IN LIMITED |
| 01:02:52 | QUANTITIES
BASED ON THE CASCADING IMPACTS |
| 01:02:54 | THAT
WE ARE ANTICIPATING. |
| 01:02:56 | SO THAT'S WHY THE CONSERVATION
IS |
| 01:02:57 | REALLY VERY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE
EVEN |
| 01:02:59 | THAT SMALL AMOUNT WILL NOT
REALLY |
| 01:03:02 | FILL THE ENTIRE GAP OF WHAT WE
CAN ANTICIPATE BASED ON |
| 01:03:06 | THE MODELING THAT HAS BEEN
PROVIDED, |
| 01:03:09 | WHAT THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY
AND |
| 01:03:10 | OUR EMS PROVIDERS AND OUR LONG
TERM |
| 01:03:12 | CARE ARE GOING TO SEE.
SO THOSE RESOURCES ARE |
| 01:03:15 | AVAILABLE.
WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO TRY |
| 01:03:17 | TO
FIGURE OUT A WAY TO ALLOCATE |
| 01:03:19 | THOSE RESOURCES OUT TO MAKE SURE
THAT ALL OF OUR WORKFORCES ARE |
| 01:03:22 | BEING
TAKEN CARE OF. |
| 01:03:24 | BUT AGAIN,
IT'S SIR, IT CERTAINLY ISN'T |
| 01:03:27 | ENOUGH
TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, |
| 01:03:30 | WHICH IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN
WHEN THE SURGE OCCURS AND OUR |
| 01:03:33 | HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM AND |
| 01:03:35 | THE NATIONAL STOCKPILE.
CAN YOU TELL US SOME NUMBERS? |
| 01:03:39 | YOU KNOW, THE THE READ, THE
REGIONAL |
| 01:03:41 | THE STRATEGIC NATIONAL STOCKPILE
ALLOCATED TO ALL OF |
| 01:03:45 | THE STATES, 25 PERCENT OF WHAT
THEY |
| 01:03:47 | HAD. AND SO WE RECEIVED OUR
FULL ALLOCATION OF WHAT |
| 01:03:50 | WAS IDENTIFIED FOR OHIO.
I CAN GET MORE SPECIFIC NUMBERS |
| 01:03:54 | FOR
YOU AT ANOTHER TIME. |
| 01:03:57 | YEAH, WE'LL TRY TO PROVIDE MORE
OF THAT AS WELL AS WE DO. |
| 01:04:00 | WE HAVE REGIONAL COORDINATORS
WHO |
| 01:04:02 | KIND OF DO AN ASSESSMENT ON A
WEEKLY |
| 01:04:04 | BASIS AS WELL.
I WANT TO SAY ON THOSE NUMBERS, |
| 01:04:08 | LAURA, THEY WERE IN THE
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, |
| 01:04:12 | NOT IN THE MILLIONS.
SO THE IT IS A VERY, |
| 01:04:16 | VERY SMALL AMOUNT
THAT WE RECEIVED IN THE HUNDREDS |
| 01:04:20 | OF THOUSANDS WHEN I SAW THE
NUMBERS, |
| 01:04:22 | NOT IN THE MILLIONS.
YEAH, WELL, WE'LL GET TO |
| 01:04:26 | MORE EXACT NUMBERS, BUT
EACH STATE WAS GIVEN AN |
| 01:04:30 | ALLOTMENT
PER CAPITA. |
| 01:04:32 | SO THAT'S THE REALITY
WE'RE WORKING FROM. |
| 01:04:35 | THANK YOU.
THIS IS LAURA HANDCOCK WITH |
| 01:04:38 | CLEVELAND.COM.
GOVERNOR, DEWINE, YOU'VE |
| 01:04:41 | SAID THAT MAYBE ONE OF THE
SOLUTIONS |
| 01:04:42 | FOR REOPENING POLLING PLACES
AT A LATER DATE WOULD COME FROM |
| 01:04:46 | THE LEGISLATURE.
ARE THEY ALLOWED TO LEGALLY |
| 01:04:48 | MEET IN
PERSON AT THIS TIME? |
| 01:04:50 | ARE THEY ALLOWED TO ME REMOTELY
LIKE WHAT IS THE SITUATION |
| 01:04:55 | WITH THAT?
WELL, I WOULD EXPECT THAT |
| 01:04:59 | THEY WOULD TAKE IN CONSIDERATION
THE SAFETY OF THEIR MEMBERS |
| 01:05:03 | AND WOULD BE ABLE TO MEET AND
VOTE |
| 01:05:05 | IN A MANNER THAT WAS CONSISTENT
WITH |
| 01:05:06 | THAT. AS FAR AS WHAT WE HAVE PUT
OUT, AS FAR AS OUR |
| 01:05:10 | OUR ORDERS, OUR REGULATIONS.
WE EXEMPTED OUT BASICALLY |
| 01:05:14 | ANYBODY
EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT |
| 01:05:16 | RIGHTS. AND SO CERTAINLY THE
LEGISLATURE COMES UNDER THAT |
| 01:05:19 | CATEGORY. SO, YOU KNOW, OUR
ORDER DOES NOT INCLUDE THE STATE |
| 01:05:22 | LEGISLATURE. THEY'RE A CO-EQUAL
BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT. |
| 01:05:26 | SO, YES, THEY WILL BE ABLE
WOULD BE ABLE TO MEET. |
| 01:05:29 | WE ALSO HAVE
ITEMS ON A LIST OF ITEMS |
| 01:05:35 | THAT WE WILL BE SHARING
WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF THE |
| 01:05:38 | LEGISLATURE, OF THINGS THAT WE
BELIEVE WE NEED TO HAVE PASSED |
| 01:05:43 | THAT WE CANNOT DO BY EXECUTIVE
ORDER, BUT ONLY THE LEGISLATURE |
| 01:05:47 | CAN DO. BUT THEY ALL RELATE TO
THIS THIS CRISIS. |
| 01:05:50 | SO WE WILL ALL IN ADDITION
TO THE ELECTION ISSUE, WE'RE |
| 01:05:53 | GOING
TO HAVE GIVE THEM ANOTHER LIST |
| 01:05:55 | OF THINGS THAT WE WANT THEM TO
CONSIDER. |
| 01:05:58 | THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THIS IS JACKIE BORCHER FROM THE |
| 01:06:01 | CINCINNATI ENQUIRER.
I'VE HEARD FROM A LOT OF |
| 01:06:04 | PARENTS AND
TEACHERS WHO ARE CONCERNED |
| 01:06:06 | ABOUT THE
LOSS OF LEARNING DURING THIS |
| 01:06:08 | TIME.
WHAT IS THE PROSPECT OF |
| 01:06:10 | PICKING UP THE SCHOOL YEAR IN
THE |
| 01:06:12 | SUMMER OR EVEN
REPEATING SOME OF THIS |
| 01:06:16 | EDUCATION THAT SUPPOSED MUST BE
HAPPENING IN THE FALL? |
| 01:06:19 | WELL, THE WAY THAT THIS IS BEING
HANDLED BY BY THE SCHOOLS |
| 01:06:23 | IS THAT THESE DAYS ARE COUNTING.
TEACHERS ARE BY AND LARGE BEING |
| 01:06:28 | PAID
FOR THIS. |
| 01:06:29 | YOU HAVE CAFETERIA WORKERS WHO
I THINK IN MOST SCHOOL |
| 01:06:32 | DISTRICTS WHO
HAVE CONTINUED TO BE PAID THAT |
| 01:06:34 | FOOD
IS GOING OUT TO |
| 01:06:37 | TO TO STUDENTS, TO THOSE 18
YEARS OF AGE AND UNDER |
| 01:06:42 | THE SCHOOLS ARE ALL DOING
WHAT THEY CAN AS FAR AS |
| 01:06:46 | LEARNING.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE FOCUS |
| 01:06:49 | IS ON TO CONTINUE THAT LEARNING
DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME |
| 01:06:53 | WHEN WE STOP SCHOOL
OR WE STOP IN PERSON SCHOOL |
| 01:06:59 | FOR THREE WEEKS.
BUT |
| 01:07:03 | THE ODDS ARE VERY HEAVY THAT
THAT |
| 01:07:05 | PERIOD IS GOING TO GO ON FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. |
| 01:07:08 | AND SO WE WANT THE LEARNING
TO CONTINUE. |
| 01:07:13 | THIS IS SOMETHING YOU REGARD
AS YOUR SPECIFIC QUESTION, |
| 01:07:17 | CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT THE
LEGISLATURE AND I WILL WOULD BE |
| 01:07:20 | DISCUSSING. BUT WE'VE GOT TO GET
THROUGH THIS FIRST. |
| 01:07:22 | WE'VE GOT TO SEE WHERE WE ARE.
BUT OUR MESSAGE TO THE SCHOOLS |
| 01:07:26 | AND WE HAVE TEACHERS WHO ARE
JUST |
| 01:07:27 | DOING A HEROIC JOB
AND IN TRYING TO DO IN |
| 01:07:31 | TEACHING THEIR STUDENTS
EITHER EITHER ONLINE OR KIND |
| 01:07:35 | OF THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, WHICH
IS |
| 01:07:36 | SENDING ASSIGNMENTS HOME
IN THOSE AREAS WHERE THEY |
| 01:07:40 | CANNOT DO
IT, CANNOT DO IT ONLINE. |
| 01:07:41 | SO THANKS TO THE TEACHERS,
AGAIN, A |
| 01:07:43 | SHOUT OUT TO THE TEACHERS.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT. |
| 01:07:46 | WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO KEEP THESE
KIDS EDUCATED AND WE MOVE |
| 01:07:49 | FORWARD.
THANK YOU. |
| 01:07:52 | GOVERNOR, ANDREW WELSH HUGGINS
WITH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. |
| 01:07:57 | THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A FOLLOW UP
TO |
| 01:07:58 | ANDY'S QUESTION ON
WITH THE SURGE IN UNEMPLOYMENT |
| 01:08:02 | APPLICATIONS.
WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT THE |
| 01:08:04 | STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
FUND AND ITS ABILITY TO ABSORB |
| 01:08:08 | THAT?
IT DID TAKE A BIG HIT, I THINK, |
| 01:08:10 | DURING THE LAST RECESSION.
HOW IS IT DOING NOW AND |
| 01:08:14 | WHAT ACTIONS MIGHT YOU TAKE
SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THAT FUND |
| 01:08:18 | TO GET THROUGH THIS TIME?
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HAS BEEN |
| 01:08:20 | WORKING
ON THAT. |
| 01:08:21 | BUT LET ME LET ME JUST SAY THAT
WE |
| 01:08:22 | HAVE KNOWN THAT
THERE HAS TO BE A FIX IN |
| 01:08:26 | REGARD TO THE FUND.
WE'VE KNOWN THAT FOR SOME TIME, |
| 01:08:29 | EVEN
BEFORE THIS CRISIS. |
| 01:08:31 | THIS NEEDS NEEDS TO BE DONE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL |
| 01:08:34 | HAVE TO
ADDRESS WITH THE STATE |
| 01:08:36 | LEGISLATURE,
WITH WITH THE SENATE AND WITH |
| 01:08:38 | THE
HOUSE. JOHN. |
| 01:08:38 | AND IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING
TO |
| 01:08:40 | THAT, I
GUESS, ANDREW, I WOULD I WOULD |
| 01:08:43 | WANT TO ADD THAT WHILE THIS
IS A CHALLENGE ON HOW |
| 01:08:47 | WE WILL FINANCE
THE UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION |
| 01:08:51 | SYSTEM
GOING FORWARD, WORKERS |
| 01:08:53 | OUT THERE SHOULD NOT BE WORRIED
IT WILL BE FUNDED FOR THEIR |
| 01:08:58 | NEEDS.
HEY, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW |
| 01:09:01 | WE PUT TOGETHER THE PACKAGE
BETWEEN |
| 01:09:03 | WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
ULTIMATELY DOES |
| 01:09:06 | AND OTHER SHORT TERM,
LONG TERM SOLUTIONS. |
| 01:09:10 | CERTAINLY, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
WILL NEED TO TAKE ACTION AT SOME |
| 01:09:13 | POINT IN TIME FOR THE LONG TERM
STABILITY OF THE FUND. |
| 01:09:19 | THANK YOU, GOVERNOR.
MAX FILBY WITH THE COLUMBUS |
| 01:09:22 | DISPATCH, WAS WONDERING IF YOU
COULD |
| 01:09:23 | ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON
THE |
| 01:09:25 | ORDER YOU'RE PLAYING WITH
REGARD TO |
| 01:09:27 | ELECTIVE SURGERIES.
AND THEN ALSO SEPARATELY, |
| 01:09:30 | WANTED TO
ASK YOU IF THERE ARE ANY UPDATES |
| 01:09:32 | REGARDING DAYCARE'S OR PUBLIC
TRANSIT. |
| 01:09:36 | NO UP, NO UPDATES ON ON
THE LADDER OTHER |
| 01:09:40 | THAN WHAT I DID
ANNOUNCE. |
| 01:09:43 | AND THAT IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO
MOVE |
| 01:09:44 | FORWARD AT THE REQUEST OF
HOSPITALS |
| 01:09:46 | THAT WANT TO REALLY START MOVING
IN REGARD TO DAY CARE AND |
| 01:09:50 | ALLOWING
THEM TO ESTABLISH NEW DAY CARE |
| 01:09:52 | THAT WILL BE RIGHT THERE, THAT
WILL |
| 01:09:54 | ENABLE THEM TO HAVE THE WORKERS
WHO WHO WHO ARE THERE. |
| 01:09:58 | SO THE FIRST QUESTION WAS,
COULD YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT |
| 01:10:02 | MORE WITH REGARD TO THE ORDER
ABOUT |
| 01:10:04 | ELECTIVE SURGERIES?
YEAH, THAT REALLY IS GOING TO BE |
| 01:10:07 | CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE
HOSPITAL |
| 01:10:09 | ASSOCIATION AGREED
TO. AND THAT'S WHAT MIKE |
| 01:10:13 | MIKE WAS TALKING ABOUT AS WELL
AS ANDY AS WELL. |
| 01:10:17 | SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THEY |
| 01:10:20 | CAN
THEY CAN ADDRESS THAT, BUT THIS |
| 01:10:22 | IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN WORKED
OUT. |
| 01:10:23 | AND AGAIN, YOU DON'T WANT TO
DENY |
| 01:10:25 | SOMEONE, YOU KNOW, A
SURGERY THAT IS NEEDED. |
| 01:10:29 | LAST THING ANYBODY WANTS TO DO,
ON |
| 01:10:31 | THE OTHER HAND, IF WE CAN
POSTPONE |
| 01:10:33 | THAT OR ELECTIVE,
THEN THEN WE SAVE THE EQUIPMENT. |
| 01:10:37 | WE SAY THE PROTECTION.
WE ALSO, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON |
| 01:10:40 | WHAT
THESE SURGERIES MAY SAVE, SAVE |
| 01:10:42 | A BED
FOR A DAY OR TWO OR A FEW DAYS. |
| 01:10:44 | SO THESE ARE THINGS.
BUT BUT WE HAVE TO LET THE |
| 01:10:47 | PROFESSIONALS WORK THIS OUT.
IN REGARD TO WHAT'S ESSENTIAL |
| 01:10:51 | AND
WHAT IS NOT. |
| 01:10:53 | THEY'VE COME TO US WITH
A A A |
| 01:10:57 | RESOLUTION OF THAT.
THE DEFINITION OF THAT WHICH |
| 01:11:00 | ALLOWS
STILL ALLOWS ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY. |
| 01:11:02 | WE'VE ADOPTED THAT.
THAT WILL BE PART THAT WILL BE |
| 01:11:04 | WHAT
THE ORDER SAYS. |
| 01:11:07 | PICTURE
IN TERMS OF ADDITIONAL |
| 01:11:10 | CLARIFICATION.
I WOULD SAY TO PATIENTS OUT |
| 01:11:12 | THERE
THAT HAVE A SURGERY SCHEDULED, |
| 01:11:14 | SAY,
IN THE NEXT TWO TO FOUR WEEKS TO |
| 01:11:16 | CHECK IN WITH YOUR PROVIDER,
WHETHER |
| 01:11:17 | IT'S PROCEDURE OR SURGERY,
IF IT'S A GASTROENTEROLOGIST, A |
| 01:11:21 | CARDIOLOGIST OR SURGEON
OF ONE OF MANY TYPES. |
| 01:11:25 | I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THOSE
HOSPITALS WE WE'VE ANNOUNCED |
| 01:11:28 | THAT
OHIO STATE THIS LAST |
| 01:11:31 | EVENING.
WE. ANY PATIENT WHO'S GOING TO |
| 01:11:34 | BE
IMPACTED BY THIS IS GOING TO BE |
| 01:11:36 | CONTACTED DIRECTLY.
I DON'T WANT PATIENTS TO ASSUME |
| 01:11:39 | WHICH CATEGORY THEIR PROCEDURE
FALLS |
| 01:11:41 | INTO. SOME ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY
CLEAR |
| 01:11:42 | CUT, SOME OR NOT.
SO I WOULD RECOMMEND IF A |
| 01:11:45 | PATIENT
HAS A QUESTION, THEY SHOULD |
| 01:11:46 | REACH
OUT TO THE PERSON WHO'S |
| 01:11:47 | PLANNING TO
DO THEIR SURGERY OR PROCEDURE |
| 01:11:49 | AND
ASK THAT PROVIDER. |
| 01:11:52 | ALSO, I WILL SAY THAT THE HIGH
LEVEL |
| 01:11:54 | PRINCIPLES THAT I TALKED ABOUT
ARE |
| 01:11:55 | GOING TO BE APPLIED THEN AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL BASED ON WHAT |
| 01:11:59 | EACH HOSPITAL OR FACILITY DOES.
SO DIFFERENT TYPES OF SURGERY |
| 01:12:02 | WOULD
APPLY AT AN OUTPATIENT |
| 01:12:04 | AMBULATORY
SURGERY CENTER VERSUS A A LARGE |
| 01:12:06 | ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER.
SO EACH FACILITY IS GOING TO |
| 01:12:09 | BE APPLYING THOSE AND CREATING A
GOVERNANCE MODEL WITHIN THE |
| 01:12:11 | ORGANIZATION TO GET DOWN TO THE
DETAILED LEVEL OF WHAT'S IN |
| 01:12:15 | WHICH
CATEGORY. |
| 01:12:16 | SO THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE MORE
INFORMATION AT THE LOCAL LEVEL |
| 01:12:19 | FROM
EACH HOSPITAL THAT YOU SHOULD |
| 01:12:21 | BE RECEIVING.
AND ALSO AS A PATIENT, |
| 01:12:25 | LIKE I SAID, YOU SHOULD BE
RECEIVING |
| 01:12:26 | A CALL TO LET YOU KNOW IF YOUR
PROCEDURE'S BEEN CANCELED. |
| 01:12:29 | THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. THOMAS. |
| 01:12:31 | AND JUST TO ELABORATE ON THAT A
BIT, |
| 01:12:34 | WE WERE AFTER A COUPLE OF
PRINCIPLES. ONE IS THAT WHENEVER |
| 01:12:37 | THE POLICY WAS ESTABLISHED, WE
DID |
| 01:12:39 | NOT WANT IT TO.
WE WANTED IT TO APPLY STATEWIDE. |
| 01:12:43 | SO IF THE TYPE OF PROCEDURE IS
BEING |
| 01:12:45 | UNAVAILABLE AND CLEVELAND,
WE DID NOT WANT A SITUATION |
| 01:12:48 | WHERE
THE SAME TYPE OF PROCEDURE WAS |
| 01:12:50 | HAPPENING UNTIL ITOH OR
SOMEWHERE |
| 01:12:52 | ELSE.
THE OTHER THING IS, AT THE END |
| 01:12:54 | OF
THE DAY, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE |
| 01:12:55 | THAT
WE LEFT LOTS OF JUDGMENT, |
| 01:12:57 | OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PHYSICIAN
AND |
| 01:12:59 | THE PATIENT. BECAUSE THERE ARE
GALLBLADDER, AS FOR EXAMPLE, |
| 01:13:02 | THAT
CAN WAIT SAFELY. |
| 01:13:04 | THERE ARE OTHER PATIENTS WITH A
SIMILAR PRESENTATION THAT CANNOT |
| 01:13:09 | SAFELY WAIT.
SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS |
| 01:13:11 | GOING TO BE THERE IS AN
OPPORTUNITY |
| 01:13:14 | FOR THE POSITION AND A PATIENT
TOGETHER TO DO THAT ASSESSMENT |
| 01:13:17 | AND
DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS A |
| 01:13:19 | PROCEDURE THAT THAT NEEDS
TO PROCEED DESPITE |
| 01:13:23 | THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THESE
GUIDELINES. |
| 01:13:27 | GOVERNOR, THIS IS SHANE MILLER
WITH |
| 01:13:29 | HANNA NEWS SERVICE.
THERE ARE SOME IN THE |
| 01:13:31 | LEGISLATURE
WHO ARE SUGGESTING THAT THE |
| 01:13:33 | PRIMARY
NEEDS TO BE VOTE BY MAIL |
| 01:13:35 | ONLY. DO YOU THINK THAT
WOULD BE AN OPTION FOR YOU? |
| 01:13:38 | OR DO YOU FEEL THAT THERE HAS
TO BE |
| 01:13:40 | SOME KIND OF IN-PERSON VOTING
DAY? |
| 01:13:42 | LOOK, I WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON
LAURA'S |
| 01:13:44 | QUESTION.
I THINK IF IF IF |
| 01:13:47 | WE PUT FORWARD A SUGGESTION,
WE PUT FORWARD AN IDEA WHICH WE |
| 01:13:51 | THINK IS OF COURSE.
SO OUR IDEA, WE THINK IT'S THE |
| 01:13:54 | BEST
IDEA. BUT BUT |
| 01:13:56 | WE'RE OPEN TO DISCUSSION.
WHERE I'M NOT OPEN TO DISCUSSION |
| 01:14:00 | IS IN REGARD TO
MAKING SURE THAT VOTERS, |
| 01:14:04 | DEMOCRATS VOTING A DEMOCRAT
PRIMARY, |
| 01:14:06 | INDEPENDENTS VOTING ON ISSUES
AND |
| 01:14:08 | REPUBLICANS VOTING REPUBLICAN
PRIMARY ALL NEED PLENTY OF TIME. |
| 01:14:12 | THEY NEED TIME TO BE ABLE TO DO
THIS. |
| 01:14:15 | AND SO THAT'S NOT NEGOTIABLE.
BUT EVERYTHING ELSE, IF WE CAN |
| 01:14:19 | WORK IT OUT SO THAT PEOPLE
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE IN |
| 01:14:23 | IN THIS CRISIS, ONE
CRISIS OF ONE HUNDRED YEARS, |
| 01:14:28 | YES, WE CAN WE CAN WORK
SOMETHING |
| 01:14:29 | OUT, BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE AN
EXTENDED |
| 01:14:31 | PERIOD OF TIME TO VOTE.
AND THEN A FOLLOW UP TO LAURA'S |
| 01:14:34 | QUESTION. YOU SAID YOU HAVE A
LIST |
| 01:14:35 | OF THINGS ARE GOING TO SEND HER
TO |
| 01:14:36 | THE LEGISLATURE. CAN YOU
ELABORATE |
| 01:14:38 | ON ANY OF THOSE THINGS NOW?
NOT YET. |
| 01:14:40 | I MEAN, THESE ARE THINGS WE'RE
STILL |
| 01:14:41 | PUTTING TOGETHER, BUT THESE ARE
THINGS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT |
| 01:14:44 | AS WE GO INTO THIS CRISIS,
THINGS THAT WE'RE ON NEED TO BE |
| 01:14:47 | ABLE
TO DO AND |
| 01:14:49 | WE NEED LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY
TO DO |
| 01:14:51 | IT.
AND THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE |
| 01:14:52 | THE
CRITERIA. |
| 01:14:53 | AND WE'LL BE TALKING
TO THE LEGISLATURE AND WE'LL |
| 01:14:56 | CERTAINLY BE SHARING THAT WITH
WITH ALL OF YOU. |
| 01:15:02 | KEVIN LANDERS, 10 TV I HAVE A
TWO |
| 01:15:03 | PART QUESTION FOR YOU.
WE'RE GETTING CALLS |
| 01:15:06 | TO OUR STATION ABOUT WHY HAIR
AND |
| 01:15:08 | NAIL SALONS REMAIN OPEN.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THOSE ARE |
| 01:15:11 | STILL
OPEN? AND SECONDLY, WHEN IT |
| 01:15:12 | COMES TO
PPD. |
| 01:15:14 | WHEN THE SURGE HAPPENS, CAN YOU
GUARANTEE THAT EVERY ONE OF YOU |
| 01:15:17 | WILL HAVE A VENTILATOR?
WHO NEEDS ONE THING? |
| 01:15:20 | WHERE TO TAKE THE SECOND PART OF
YOUR QUESTION? |
| 01:15:24 | WE'RE WORKING EVERY DAY
AND YOU JUST HEARD A LOT OF |
| 01:15:27 | EFFORTS
THAT ARE BEING MADE, A LOT OF |
| 01:15:29 | DECISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE
TO TRY TO MAKE SURE EVERY OHIO |
| 01:15:32 | AND
HAS WHAT THEY NEED. |
| 01:15:35 | WELL, THAT'S A VENTILATOR,
WHETHER |
| 01:15:37 | IT'S A HOSPITAL ROOM, WHATEVER
THAT IS. |
| 01:15:40 | NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE ANYTHING.
THIS IS THIS IS A HUGE, HUGE |
| 01:15:43 | CRISIS.
BUT WHAT WE CAN TELL YOU IS |
| 01:15:47 | WE'RE PLANNING AHEAD.
WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN |
| 01:15:49 | AND
EVERYBODY GETS SICK OF HEARING |
| 01:15:51 | IT.
WE'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE |
| 01:15:52 | HAVE TO BE SAINT LEWIS
AND NOT PHILADELPHIA. |
| 01:15:55 | WE'RE PHILADELPHIA.
WE'RE PROBABLY NOT. |
| 01:15:57 | IF WE'RE SEEING LEWIS, WE'RE
PROBABLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO |
| 01:16:00 | IT.
AND B, WELL, IT'D BE OK. |
| 01:16:03 | SO THAT'S THAT'S THE GOAL.
LOOK, HAIR, NAIL. |
| 01:16:07 | WE COULD PROBABLY COME UP WITH
20 |
| 01:16:08 | OTHER EXAMPLES.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT, |
| 01:16:14 | YOU KNOW, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE
WE'RE GOING TO ASSESS THINGS, |
| 01:16:18 | WE'RE
GOING TO ASSESS THINGS WHERE WE |
| 01:16:19 | THINK THE RISK IS.
WE HAVE DEALT WITH THE KIND |
| 01:16:22 | OF BIG THINGS
WHERE YOU GET THE MOST IMPACT. |
| 01:16:28 | WE'VE DONE THAT THROUGH THE
RESTAURANTS AND DONE WITH THE |
| 01:16:32 | BARS.
MEETINGS COME, PEOPLE COMING |
| 01:16:34 | TOGETHER AND IN SMALL NUMBERS.
CLOSING THE SCHOOLS, MAKING |
| 01:16:38 | SURE THAT
NURSING HOMES ARE PROTECTED. |
| 01:16:45 | SO WE'VE DONE THE BIG THINGS,
BUT THERE ARE SMALLER THINGS |
| 01:16:49 | THAT WE AS WE ANALYZE
THIS, WE MAY DO. |
| 01:16:54 | BUT I WILL ONCE AGAIN SAY
THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING |
| 01:16:57 | ANYBODY CAN DO IS
WHAT YOU DO. |
| 01:17:01 | AND THE OHIO CITIZENS, THE
ELEVEN |
| 01:17:02 | HALF ELEVEN
POINT SIX SEVEN |
| 01:17:06 | AMYS CORRECT ME, ELEVEN POINT
SEVEN |
| 01:17:08 | MILLION OHIOANS, WHAT
THEY DO AS INDIVIDUALS, |
| 01:17:12 | WHAT EACH ONE OF US DOES
EVERY SINGLE DAY. |
| 01:17:16 | AND WE JUST HAVE TO BE MINDFUL
OF |
| 01:17:18 | WHAT WE'RE DOING, MINDFUL OF THE
SPACE, TRY TO STAY AWAY |
| 01:17:22 | FROM EACH OTHER AS MUCH
AS WE CAN. |
| 01:17:25 | AND DON'T, YOU KNOW, DON'T DO
THINGS |
| 01:17:27 | THAT PUT US AT RISK AND DON'T DO
THINGS THAT PUT US TO |
| 01:17:30 | UNNECESSARY
RISK TO OUR NEIGHBORS AND OUR |
| 01:17:32 | FRIENDS.
THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING |
| 01:17:35 | WE CAN DO. SO IF YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE CAN POSTPONE SOMETHING, |
| 01:17:39 | DON'T DO IT. DON'T GO OUT.
DON'T HAVE THAT CONTACT. |
| 01:17:42 | THEY THEY SHOULD DO THAT.
GOVERNOR MARK TAYLOR, NBC 4, |
| 01:17:47 | COLUMBUS. WE'VE HEARD A LITTLE
BIT |
| 01:17:48 | OF OPTIMISM FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION |
| 01:17:50 | HERE AS FAR AS WE WILL GET TO
THE |
| 01:17:52 | OTHER SIDE OF THIS, WE WILL
RETURN |
| 01:17:53 | TO NORMAL.
DO WE KNOW ANY TIMELINE |
| 01:17:56 | AT THIS POINT OR IS THIS ALL TOO
MUCH EVOLVING A SITUATION? |
| 01:18:00 | NO, I DON'T THINK WE KNOW THE
TIMELINE. |
| 01:18:02 | I THINK THERE'S BEEN.
DR. ACTON AND HIS HAS TALKED |
| 01:18:05 | ABOUT
THIS POSSIBLY PEAKING AROUND |
| 01:18:07 | MAY 1,
BUT NO ONE KNOWS THAT THOSE |
| 01:18:09 | NUMBERS
FOR SURE. SO WE'VE GOT TO TAKE |
| 01:18:11 | THAT.
IT'S GOT TO GO UP. |
| 01:18:12 | AND THEN OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOT
START |
| 01:18:14 | DOWN.
THANK YOU. YEAH. |
| 01:18:17 | YOU KNOW, EVEN THE MODELING
THAT I WAS SHARING TODAY. |
| 01:18:21 | THESE ARE MODELS.
THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE |
| 01:18:24 | THEY'RE TAKING A BUNCH OF
ASSUMPTIONS. |
| 01:18:25 | AND THE BEST DATA WE HAVE,
WHICH AS |
| 01:18:27 | WE SEE NOW, IS NOW CHANGING
HOURLY |
| 01:18:29 | LAST PRESS CONFERENCE.
IT CHANGED DURING OUR PRESS |
| 01:18:33 | CONFERENCE. SO SO
WHAT WE CAN SAY IS SOME |
| 01:18:37 | OF THE EARLY MODELING ARE SAYING
MID-MAY AND THE MORE WE |
| 01:18:40 | DO, THE MORE IT SLOWS.
BUT THAT'S A GOOD THING. |
| 01:18:43 | BUT YOU ALREADY SAW INDICATIONS
EVEN |
| 01:18:45 | FROM THE PRESIDENT THAT
THIS IS A LONG HAUL. |
| 01:18:49 | AND AND
IT IS AN UNPRECEDENTED |
| 01:18:52 | SITUATION.
SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, |
| 01:18:54 | WHAT WE DO IN THESE IMMEDIATE
DAYS |
| 01:18:56 | HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT
IMPACT BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING. |
| 01:19:00 | THIS IS WHERE WE CAN STILL
DRASTICALLY CHANGE THAT CURVE. |
| 01:19:04 | BUT THE MORE TIME GOES ON.
YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE THE |
| 01:19:07 | SMALLER THINGS WE DO.
AND WE ARE LOOKING YOU KNOW, |
| 01:19:10 | IT'S THE HOPE THAT THE
INDUSTRIES |
| 01:19:12 | THEMSELVES ARE COMING UP WITH A
LOT |
| 01:19:13 | OF GUIDANCE OR SO MANY ORDERS I
HAVEN'T WRITTEN, BUT THAT |
| 01:19:17 | BUSINESSES AND OTHERS JUST TOOK
UPON THEMSELVES TO DO |
| 01:19:21 | THAT. THESE AREN'T ORDERS
TO |
| 01:19:25 | POLICE PEOPLE, BY AND
LARGE, ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE THOSE |
| 01:19:28 | QUARANTINE POWERS.
THIS WAS TO HELP PEOPLE. |
| 01:19:31 | AND SOMETIMES THAT HELPS THE
ACTUAL |
| 01:19:33 | BUSINESSES THEMSELVES.
COME AND ASK US FOR THIS |
| 01:19:36 | GUIDANCE.
AND I'VE BEEN HEARING SOME OF |
| 01:19:37 | THOSE
SAME QUESTIONS THAT WERE |
| 01:19:39 | MENTIONED
AROUND THE PERSONAL CARE |
| 01:19:42 | INDUSTRY.
AND IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE |
| 01:19:43 | CERTAINLY
TAKING A LOOK AT. |
| 01:19:46 | THIS IS THE ANSWER I JUST WANT
TO |
| 01:19:48 | JUST ADD ONE THING WE
KEEP EMPHASIZING ABOUT HOW |
| 01:19:51 | WE'RE ALL
IN THIS TOGETHER |
| 01:19:53 | AND WE ARE BECAUSE FOR
EVERYBODY WHO |
| 01:19:55 | SELF-QUARANTINED, WHO TAKES
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS, WHO USES |
| 01:19:59 | COMMONSENSE MEANS THAT THEY SLOW
THE SPREAD MEANS THAT WE GET |
| 01:20:03 | THROUGH THIS COLLECTIVELY FASTER
AND HEALTHIER, BOTH FROM |
| 01:20:07 | FROM A PHYSICAL HEALTH POINT OF
VIEW |
| 01:20:09 | AND AN ECONOMIC POINT OF VIEW.
WHAT DR. ACTON, THE GOVERNOR |
| 01:20:13 | ASKING OF PEOPLE, WHAT WE'RE
ASKING |
| 01:20:15 | OF PEOPLE, IS THAT THE
BETTER JOB YOU DO AT HELPING |
| 01:20:19 | CONTROL
THE SPREAD, THE BETTER OFF |
| 01:20:20 | WE'RE ALL
GOING TO BE. |
| 01:20:22 | AND WE CAN'T WRITE A RULE OR
REGULATION THAT'S GOING TO SOLVE |
| 01:20:26 | EVERY PROBLEM. BUT COLLECTIVELY,
WHEN WE ACT |
| 01:20:30 | SMART ABOUT THIS, WE'RE GOING TO
BE BENEFITING ALL OF US IN. |
| 01:20:37 | LAURA BISHOFF, DATE DAILY NEWS.
FIRST OFF, I'D LIKE TO THANK |
| 01:20:41 | YOU ALL
FOR DOING THESE DAILY BRIEFINGS. |
| 01:20:42 | THEY'RE ENORMOUSLY HELPFUL FOR
US IN |
| 01:20:44 | THE PRESS.
GOVERNOR DEWINE, LIEUTENANT |
| 01:20:46 | GOVERNOR, AS YOU SAID IN DR.
ACTION, |
| 01:20:48 | HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN TESTED FOR
COVID 19? |
| 01:20:52 | NO, I'VE NOT BEEN.
I HAVE NOT BEEN, NO. |
| 01:21:01 | NOR HAVE I.
AND THERE HAVE BEEN FANTASIES |
| 01:21:03 | IN MY
MIND OF A QUARANTINE SOMEWHERE |
| 01:21:05 | WARM
AND. BUT NO. |
| 01:21:07 | AND WE'RE WE'RE WORKING AS HARD
AS EVERYONE ELSE AS YOU SEE US |
| 01:21:10 | DANCING AROUND EACH OTHER UP
HERE AND YOU SHOULD SEE OUR |
| 01:21:14 | MEETING.
I MEAN, EVEN IF VIEWERS COULD |
| 01:21:15 | SEE
THE SCREENS AND THE ELABORATE |
| 01:21:17 | THINGS
WERE TAKING IN ALL |
| 01:21:19 | OF US, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE
IN |
| 01:21:21 | A CENTRAL JOBS, WE'RE DOING OUR
VERY |
| 01:21:23 | BEST TO STAY HEALTHY.
BUT LET ME ADD THAT |
| 01:21:28 | IF AT ANY MOMENT ANY ONE
OF US EXHIBITED ANY SIGNS, |
| 01:21:31 | WE WOULD IMMEDIATELY GO DO
SOMETHING |
| 01:21:33 | LIKE THAT. THAT'S ABOUT.
GOVERNOR, I'VE BEEN TOLD THEM |
| 01:21:37 | THE
LAST QUESTION, LOUANN ABC |
| 01:21:40 | FOX 28 COLUMBUS
YESTERDAY, YOU SAID YOU WERE NOT |
| 01:21:44 | READY TO MAKE ANY ANNOUNCEMENT
ON |
| 01:21:45 | THE NATIONAL GUARD.
COULD YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT |
| 01:21:48 | ABOUT WHAT THE GUARD IS DOING TO
PREPARE IN CASE THEY ARE |
| 01:21:51 | NEEDED AND THAT YOU WILL
CALL THEM OUT? |
| 01:21:55 | WELL, I TALKED TO
GENERAL HARRIS TODAY. |
| 01:22:00 | WE HAD A DISCUSSION ACTUALLY
TODAY ABOUT THE GUARD. |
| 01:22:04 | HE AND I TALK, YOU KNOW,
WHENEVER NECESSARY AND GET |
| 01:22:08 | I GET BRIEFED.
BUT I WAS ASSURED |
| 01:22:12 | BY THE GENERAL THAT THE GUARD
IS PREPARED TO DO WHATEVER |
| 01:22:17 | THE GUARD NEEDS TO DO.
LET ME |
| 01:22:22 | POINT OUT ONE THING THAT HE
POINTED |
| 01:22:23 | OUT TO ME, AND THAT
IS IF WE HAVE MEMBERS |
| 01:22:27 | OF THE GUARD
TO GO IN AND DO MEDICAL WORK, |
| 01:22:33 | ALL WE'RE DOING IS PULLING THEM
FROM ONE SEGMENT INTO ANOTHER. |
| 01:22:38 | SO THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO, YOU
KNOW, |
| 01:22:41 | HAVE A HAVE A PRIVATE WORLD.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY |
| 01:22:45 | THEY GO BACK, THEY GO INTO THE
GUARD |
| 01:22:47 | OR THEY OR THEY'RE IN THE
GUARD, BUT |
| 01:22:48 | THEY ARE UTILIZED BY THE GUARD.
SO YOU'RE NOT GAINING ANYTHING. |
| 01:22:52 | A PERSON OF MY BEEN A PHYSICIAN.
THAT PERSON MIGHT HAVE BEEN A |
| 01:22:55 | NURSE,
A PARAMEDIC, AND YOU'RE MOVING |
| 01:22:56 | THEM
FROM ONE POSITION TO ANOTHER |
| 01:22:58 | POSITION. SO GENERALLY,
UNLESS THERE'S A REAL CRITICAL |
| 01:23:02 | AREA, YOU PROBABLY DON'T GAIN
ANYTHING OR YOU DON'T GET |
| 01:23:06 | ANYTHING
BY DOING THAT. |
| 01:23:07 | BUT WE'VE GONE
THROUGH DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. |
| 01:23:10 | AND LOOK, THE GUARD IS IS IS
PREPARED, BUT |
| 01:23:15 | WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CALL
OUT THE GUARD. AND WHEN WE DO, |
| 01:23:18 | WE'LL
CERTAINLY NOTIFY THE PUBLIC |
| 01:23:20 | AND NOTIFY YOU ALL.
THANK YOU, SIR. |
| 01:23:24 | ALL RIGHT. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S
DAY |
| 01:23:26 | TO EVERYBODY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
