| 00:00:03 | WE CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE
IN OHIO, |
| 00:00:06 | CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM ELECTED
ELECTED OFFICIALS. |
| 00:00:15 | WE HAVE SEEN THINGS THAT WERE
ORDERS |
| 00:00:17 | THAT WERE ISSUED TODAY THAT
DR. AND WILL BE ISSUING |
| 00:00:22 | THE FOLLOWING WILL ALL
BE CLOSED |
| 00:00:26 | AS A BUSINESS CLOSED
TODAY. |
| 00:00:30 | OUR FITNESS CENTERS AND OUR
GYMS, |
| 00:00:34 | BOWLING ALLEYS.
PUBLIC REC CENTERS. |
| 00:00:40 | MOVIE THEATERS, I THINK MOST
OF THEM ALREADY CLOSED, |
| 00:00:45 | INDOOR WATER PARKS, INDOOR
TRAMPOLINE PARKS. |
| 00:00:53 | SO THEY WILL ALL CLOSE UNDER AN
ORDER. |
| 00:00:57 | THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, DR.
ACTON AS OF CLOSE OF BUSINESS |
| 00:01:01 | TODAY.
WE CONTINUE TO EVOLVE. |
| 00:01:10 | EVERY DAY WE CONTINUE TO HAVE
MORE |
| 00:01:12 | FACTS.
WE PROCESS MORE INFORMATION. |
| 00:01:19 | CDC GUIDELINES.
HAVE CHANGED IN REGARD TO |
| 00:01:25 | MASS CONGREGATIONS,
MASS MEETINGS, AS YOU SAW, |
| 00:01:29 | THEY WERE CHANGED TO 50
FROM WHERE THEY HAD BEEN AT 100. |
| 00:01:35 | WE WILL COMPLY WITH THAT
OR WE WILL CONFER A BETTER WORD |
| 00:01:39 | IS
CONFORM. WE WILL CONFORM OUR |
| 00:01:41 | ORDER AND
SO WE WILL MODIFY OUR ORDER |
| 00:01:45 | FROM 100 TO TO 50.
THROUGHOUT THIS CRISIS, |
| 00:01:53 | WE HAVE.
AS FACTS AS WE KNOW |
| 00:01:57 | THEM CHANGE.
WE HAVE TRIED |
| 00:02:02 | TO FOLLOW THE BEST SCIENCE
AND THE BEST INFORMATION FROM |
| 00:02:06 | THE
BEST PEOPLE |
| 00:02:09 | THAT WE HAVE.
AND SO THAT CONTINUES. |
| 00:02:15 | IT IS CLEAR THAT TOMORROW'S
IN-PERSON VOTING. |
| 00:02:21 | DOES NOT CONFORM
AND CANNOT CONFORM WITH |
| 00:02:25 | THESE CDC
GUIDELINES. |
| 00:02:31 | WE CANNOT CONDUCT THIS ELECTION
TOMORROW IN PERSON |
| 00:02:34 | VOTING FOR 13 HOURS TOMORROW
AND CONFORM TO THESE GUIDELINES. |
| 00:02:43 | WE HAVE
RECEIVED CALLS, |
| 00:02:50 | LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, I HAVE
TALKED |
| 00:02:51 | TO PEOPLE FROM THROUGHOUT OHIO.
WHO FRANKLY, ARE VERY |
| 00:02:57 | CONFLICTED.
CONFLICTED. |
| 00:03:01 | IN WHETHER THEY VOTE TOMORROW.
WE CONTINUE TO STRESS |
| 00:03:07 | THAT PEOPLE 65 YEARS OF
AGE AND OLDER |
| 00:03:11 | SHOULD NOT LEAVE THEIR HOME.
UNLESS ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY |
| 00:03:17 | NECESSARY, AND WE
AGAIN WILL SAY THAT TODAY, DR. |
| 00:03:20 | ACTON WILL TALK TODAY ABOUT
THAT. |
| 00:03:24 | SO IT IS PEOPLE 65 AND OLDER.
ALSO, PEOPLE WHO HAVE ANY |
| 00:03:31 | KIND OF MEDICAL, THEY'RE
COMPROMISED |
| 00:03:33 | MEDICALLY.
WE KNOW FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN |
| 00:03:37 | IN OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE DATA
THAT |
| 00:03:39 | WE BEST AVAILABLE DATA
WE HAVE THAT THEY ARE CERTAINLY |
| 00:03:43 | MOST AT RISK.
THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE |
| 00:03:49 | CONFLICTED,
AND IT'S NOT JUST THOSE 65 YEARS |
| 00:03:52 | OF AGE OR OLDER.
IS WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT. |
| 00:03:58 | THERE'S PEOPLE WHO
ARE COMPROMISED MEDICALLY. |
| 00:04:08 | WE SHOULD NOT
FORCE THEM TO MAKE THIS CHOICE, |
| 00:04:14 | A CHOICE BETWEEN
THEIR HEALTH. |
| 00:04:18 | AND THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS. |
| 00:04:22 | AND THEIR DUTIES AS AMERICAN
CITIZENS. |
| 00:04:27 | FURTHER, WE
SHOULD NOT BE IN A SITUATION |
| 00:04:32 | WHERE THE VOTES OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS. |
| 00:04:35 | WHO ARE CONFLICTED.
OR SUPPRESSED. |
| 00:04:42 | IT IS THEREFORE, MY
RECOMMENDATION. |
| 00:04:46 | AFTER TALKING WITH THE SECRETARY
OF STATE, TALKING WITH THE |
| 00:04:50 | ATTORNEY
GENERAL. |
| 00:04:53 | TALKING WITH THE LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR. |
| 00:04:56 | THAT VOTING
BE EXTENDED. |
| 00:05:01 | UNTIL JUNE 2ND
THAT NO IN-PERSON VOTING OCCUR |
| 00:05:06 | TODAY, BUT RATHER
THAT IN-PERSON VOTING |
| 00:05:10 | OCCUR ON JUNE 2ND.
BUT BETWEEN NOW AND |
| 00:05:14 | THEN.
THAT ABSENTEE BALLOT |
| 00:05:19 | VOTING.
WE PERMITTED. |
| 00:05:23 | THIS SHOULD EXTEND THE PERIOD OF
TIME SO THAT PEOPLE |
| 00:05:27 | WILL NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND |
| 00:05:30 | THEIR HEALTH.
THIS WAS NOT A DECISION THAT WAS |
| 00:05:34 | EASILY MADE.
LIKE EVERY. |
| 00:05:38 | WHAT WE'D LIKE MOST OF THE
DECISIONS |
| 00:05:40 | THAT WE'VE HAD TO MAKE.
BUT IT IS, I BELIEVE, THE RIGHT |
| 00:05:45 | THING TO DO.
I UNDERSTAND |
| 00:05:49 | AND I CAN SAY THIS FROM MY
PERSONAL |
| 00:05:51 | EXPERIENCE.
AS A CANDIDATE, MANY |
| 00:05:55 | TIMES
THAT WIN OR LOSE, YOU'RE ALWAYS |
| 00:06:00 | LOOKING FORWARD TO ELECTION DAY.
YOU OBVIOUSLY PREFER WINNING, |
| 00:06:04 | BUT
YOU'RE ANXIOUS TO GET IT OVER |
| 00:06:07 | WITH.
THIS EXTENDS IT AND I FULLY |
| 00:06:09 | UNDERSTAND THIS CHANGES A LOT OF
PEOPLE'S PLANS. |
| 00:06:13 | BUT I THINK IT IS THE RIGHT
THING TO |
| 00:06:15 | DO.
NOW, I |
| 00:06:18 | DO NOT HAVE
THE POWER |
| 00:06:23 | TO EXTEND AN ELECTION,
AS I AM SUGGESTING. |
| 00:06:29 | MY UNDERSTANDING, AND I WILL
PARAPHRASE THE STATUTE |
| 00:06:33 | THAT THIS ONLY CAN OCCUR
IF WE ARE INVADED. |
| 00:06:37 | I HAVE JOKINGLY AND NOT SO
JOKINGLY |
| 00:06:40 | SAID TO OUR LAWYERS, I THINK
WE'VE |
| 00:06:42 | BEEN INVADED.
BUT I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT |
| 00:06:46 | WAS NOT
THE INTENT OF WHAT |
| 00:06:48 | THE LAW SAYS.
THAT WAS NOT WHAT WAS |
| 00:06:51 | ENVISIONED,
ALTHOUGH THIS CERTAINLY IS AN |
| 00:06:53 | INVASION.
THEREFORE, THERE WILL BE A |
| 00:06:58 | LAWSUIT FILED IN COMMON
PLEAS COURT IN FRANKLIN COUNTY |
| 00:07:02 | TODAY.
BY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE |
| 00:07:07 | IN THAT POSITION OR SIMILAR
POSITION TO WHAT I HAVE |
| 00:07:12 | DESCRIBED.
WE WOULD HOPE |
| 00:07:16 | THAT.
THAT SUGGESTION IN THAT |
| 00:07:20 | IN THAT FILING AND I'LL
LET FRANK LAROSE TALK ABOUT |
| 00:07:23 | THIS IN
MORE DETAIL. |
| 00:07:25 | THAT FILING WOULD CONTAIN
THE ESSENCE OF WHAT I JUST |
| 00:07:29 | SAID.
WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT A JUDGE |
| 00:07:32 | WOULD HOLD A HEARING
AND WE WOULDN'T THEN MOVE MOVE |
| 00:07:36 | ON FROM THERE.
IT IS IMPORTANT NOT ONE TURN |
| 00:07:44 | OVER TO THE
SECRETARY OF STATE, |
| 00:07:49 | WHO HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB
AND HIS WORKERS |
| 00:07:53 | AND BOARDS OF ELECTION, AND
I WANT A MESSAGE FOR |
| 00:07:57 | ALL THOSE WHO WORK IN LOCAL
BOARDS |
| 00:07:59 | OF ELECTION.
YOU HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB. |
| 00:08:04 | WE KNOW THAT THIS DECISION IS
DIFFICULT. |
| 00:08:09 | BUT I WANT TO JUST CONGRATULATE
YOU |
| 00:08:11 | FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
A COUPLE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. |
| 00:08:18 | WE CANNOT TELL PEOPLE.
AS WE ARE KILLING THEM AND |
| 00:08:23 | AS.
DR. ACTON WILL BE SAYING |
| 00:08:27 | IN A FEW MOMENTS THAT THEY
REALLY, |
| 00:08:29 | REALLY NEED TO STAY HOME.
AND THAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST |
| 00:08:32 | OF
THEIR HEALTH. |
| 00:08:35 | THAT THE RISK IS HIGH.
AT THE SAME TIME, TELL |
| 00:08:39 | THEM TO GO VOTE.
MAY ALSO SAY THAT WE HAVE |
| 00:08:44 | FRANK TELLS ME WHAT FRANK
35000 POLLWORKERS SOMETHING IN |
| 00:08:48 | THAT VICINITY.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING |
| 00:08:53 | TO BE
THERE 13 HOURS OR MORE. |
| 00:08:56 | THESE ARE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
BE IN |
| 00:08:57 | CONTACT WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT |
| 00:08:59 | DAY, TOMORROW.
MANY OF THESE POLL WORKERS ARE. |
| 00:09:04 | OLDER.
AND AGAIN, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT |
| 00:09:09 | PUTTING THEM TOGETHER WITH SO
MANY |
| 00:09:11 | PEOPLE IS FRANKLY
NOT FAIR TO THEM, EVEN THOUGH |
| 00:09:15 | THEY
MANY OF THEM HAVE SAID YES. |
| 00:09:17 | WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THIS AND
SOME OF THEM HAVE DONE IT FOR |
| 00:09:20 | MANY,
MANY YEARS. |
| 00:09:22 | WE DO NOT KNOW WHETHER
COMING THROUGH THE LINE. |
| 00:09:28 | WHO'S BEEN INFECTED?
CONVERSELY, WE DON'T KNOW IF |
| 00:09:32 | ANY THE
POLL WORKERS HAVE BEEN INFECTED |
| 00:09:34 | BECAUSE THIS IS A UNIQUE
THIS IS A SITUATION |
| 00:09:38 | WHERE THE EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT
PEOPLE |
| 00:09:40 | AND DOCTOR ACT AND TALKED ABOUT
THIS |
| 00:09:42 | YESTERDAY WHEN SHE WENT BACK AND
LOOKED AT THE DATES OF THE |
| 00:09:46 | PEOPLE
WHEN THE ONSET FIRST |
| 00:09:48 | OCCURRED.
AND THERE'S THERE'S THERE'S A |
| 00:09:51 | LONG
AND AND THEN YOU GO BACK EVEN |
| 00:09:53 | FURTHER THAN THAT WHEN THEY WERE
INFECTED. SO THERE'S A PERIOD OF |
| 00:09:56 | TIME WHEN SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN
DON'T KNOW THEY'RE INFECTED AND |
| 00:09:59 | SOME
PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, DON'T REALLY |
| 00:10:01 | KNOW IT AT ALL.
AGAIN, THESE PEOPLE ARE CARRIERS |
| 00:10:05 | AND MAY NOT KNOW THAT.
I BELIEVE THAT |
| 00:10:14 | WHILE THIS DECISION
IS A TOUGH DECISION, IT'S A |
| 00:10:18 | DECISION
THAT I'M SURE SOMEONE MANY |
| 00:10:20 | PEOPLE MAY
SAY WAS THE WRONG DECISION. |
| 00:10:24 | I THINK WHEN WE LOOK BACK ON
THIS, |
| 00:10:28 | WE'RE GOING TO BE GLAD WE DID
THIS. |
| 00:10:32 | THE RIGHTS OF VOTERS ARE
PRESERVED |
| 00:10:34 | THERE. EACH VOTER WILL BE GIVEN
AN AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE. |
| 00:10:39 | THE VOTES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN
CAST HAVE BEEN CAST. |
| 00:10:42 | AND FRANK CAN TALK ABOUT THIS.
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY |
| 00:10:46 | JUST
ARE NOT COUNTED. |
| 00:10:47 | THEY'RE THERE.
THEY WILL STAY THERE FROZEN. |
| 00:10:51 | AND THEN BUT VOTING FOR
OTHERS WILL BE ABLE |
| 00:10:55 | TO BE CONTINUED.
SO LET ME NOW I DO, SIR. |
| 00:10:59 | FRANK LA ROSE, WHO
HE AND HIS TEAM HAVE JUST DONE A |
| 00:11:02 | PHENOMENAL JOB
ALL THE WAY THROUGH, FRANK. |
| 00:11:08 | THANK YOU, GOVERNOR.
THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. |
| 00:11:11 | THANK YOU. DR. ACTON.
SUSPENDING IN-PERSON VOTING |
| 00:11:16 | IS A SERIOUS MATTER, AND
WE HAVE TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING |
| 00:11:20 | WE COULD TO AVOID THAT
ALL ALONG. |
| 00:11:24 | WE HAVE TAKEN OUR ADVICE FROM
THE |
| 00:11:26 | PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
AND OBVIOUSLY THIS SITUATION HAS |
| 00:11:30 | EVOLVED QUICKLY IN THE LAST FEW
DAYS. |
| 00:11:33 | THE ADVICE OVER THE LAST WEEK
HAD BEEN CLEAR IT WOULD BE |
| 00:11:37 | SAFE FOR BOTH POLL WORKERS
AND FOR VOTERS TO COME OUT |
| 00:11:41 | TO VOTE ON TUESDAY.
WE WERE PROCEEDING ON |
| 00:11:46 | THAT COURSE.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT MANY |
| 00:11:49 | THOUSANDS
OF VERY DEDICATED OHIOANS WERE |
| 00:11:50 | WORKING HARD TO MAKE THAT
HAPPEN. |
| 00:11:53 | AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK
YOU TO |
| 00:11:54 | THEM FOR THEIR PATRIOTISM AND
FOR |
| 00:11:56 | THEIR DEDICATION.
SOMETIMES WE TAKE |
| 00:12:00 | MAYBE FOR GRANTED
WHEN ELECTIONS HAPPEN. |
| 00:12:04 | IT'S JUST SORT OF THIS
UBIQUITOUS |
| 00:12:06 | THING THAT HAPPENS A COUPLE OF
TIMES |
| 00:12:07 | A YEAR. BUT A LOT OF WORK GOES
INTO CONDUCTING AN ELECTION. |
| 00:12:10 | AND BY THE WAY, IT'S A
THOROUGHLY |
| 00:12:12 | BIPARTISAN PROCESS.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR |
| 00:12:16 | OHIOANS
TO COME TOGETHER AS REPUBLICANS |
| 00:12:17 | AND
DEMOCRATS AND DO THIS REALLY |
| 00:12:19 | TOUGH
WORK OF RUNNING ELECTIONS. |
| 00:12:21 | OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS, WE'VE
SEEN THE BEST OF OHIO ON DISPLAY |
| 00:12:24 | AS OVER TWO THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED, PATRIOTIC, OHIOANS |
| 00:12:28 | WERE STEPPING UP AND
VOLUNTEERING |
| 00:12:30 | TO BE POLL WORKERS.
THEY WERE BEING TRAINED OVER THE |
| 00:12:32 | WEEKENDS.
THE BOARDS OF ELECTIONS WERE |
| 00:12:35 | WORKING
ON GETTING ALL THE MATERIALS AND |
| 00:12:37 | SUPPLIES OUT TO THE POLLING
LOCATIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT |
| 00:12:41 | WE COULD CONDUCT A SAFE
ELECTION. |
| 00:12:44 | BUT OF COURSE, NOW THAT THE
ADVICE |
| 00:12:46 | OF OUR PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS
HAS EVOLVED WITH THIS PUBLIC |
| 00:12:49 | HEALTH
EMERGENCY AND WE KNOW THAT IT |
| 00:12:51 | WOULD NOT BE SAFE, AND THERE
IS ONLY ONE THING IN MY MIND |
| 00:12:55 | MORE IMPORTANT THAN A FREE AND
FAIR |
| 00:12:56 | ELECTION, AND THAT IS THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY OF OUR FELLOW |
| 00:13:01 | OHIOANS.
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR FELLOW |
| 00:13:03 | OHIOANS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.
OBVIOUSLY, WE CAN'T STAND HERE |
| 00:13:07 | AND
TELL PEOPLE OVER 65 THAT |
| 00:13:09 | THEY SHOULD STAY AT HOME
AND AT THE SAME TIME TELL |
| 00:13:12 | OHIOANS
THAT THEY SHOULD COME OUT TO |
| 00:13:14 | VOTE.
AND AS THE GOVERNOR MENTIONED, |
| 00:13:17 | THE POWER TO SUSPEND AN
ELECTION, |
| 00:13:19 | THE POWER TO DELAY AN ELECTION
IS NOT ONE THAT WE HAVE. |
| 00:13:23 | IT RESTS WITH THE LEGISLATURE
AND WITH THE COURTS. |
| 00:13:28 | THE DECISION
THAT I MADE IS TO GET |
| 00:13:34 | RECOMMENDATIONS READY,
ANTICIPATING |
| 00:13:36 | THAT THERE WOULD BE A LAWSUIT
AS A |
| 00:13:38 | RESULT OF THIS. I WILL BE
DIRECTING |
| 00:13:40 | MY ATTORNEY, THE OHIO ATTORNEY
GENERAL, DAVE YOST, TO NOT |
| 00:13:44 | CONTEST THAT LAWSUIT.
BUT WE WILL BE SUBMITTING TO THE |
| 00:13:48 | COURT FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION
OUR |
| 00:13:49 | RECOMMENDATION.
AND AS THE GOVERNOR MENTIONED, |
| 00:13:51 | THAT
RECOMMENDATION |
| 00:13:53 | IS THAT THERE BE NO IN-PERSON
VOTING |
| 00:13:55 | TOMORROW, THAT
THE BOARDS OF ELECTIONS |
| 00:13:58 | CONTINUE TO
RECEIVE ABSENTEE BALLOTS, |
| 00:14:01 | THOUGH,
AND THAT ELECTION DAY BE |
| 00:14:04 | POSTPONED
UNTIL JUNE 2ND. |
| 00:14:07 | DURING THE INTERVENING SEVERAL
WEEKS, BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, WE |
| 00:14:10 | WILL
CONTINUE TO ALLOW |
| 00:14:12 | PEOPLE TO REQUEST AND
SUBMIT VOTE BY MAIL ABSENTEE |
| 00:14:16 | BALLOTS.
AGAIN, THIS |
| 00:14:19 | IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL
IOWANS AND IN THE SAFETY OF |
| 00:14:22 | OHIOANS.
AND MY HEART GOES |
| 00:14:24 | OUT TO THOSE MANY ELECTIONS
OFFICIALS THAT HAVE WORKED HARD |
| 00:14:27 | TO
MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND TO THOSE |
| 00:14:28 | CANDIDATES AND THEIR FAMILIES
WHO |
| 00:14:29 | HAVE WORKED HARD. BUT.
BUT THIS IS THE RIGHT DECISION. |
| 00:14:33 | I HOPE AND ANTICIPATE THAT THE
JUDGE |
| 00:14:35 | WILL WILL AGREE WITH US.
BUT WE'LL BE SUBMITTING THAT |
| 00:14:37 | FOR THE
JUDGE'S CONSIDERATION THIS |
| 00:14:39 | AFTERNOON.
THANK YOU. |
| 00:14:45 | THANK YOU, FRANK.
I DO WANT TO THANK SECRETARY |
| 00:14:48 | LAROSE
AND ALL OF THE ELECTIONS |
| 00:14:49 | OFFICIALS
WHO'VE BEEN WORKING TO PREPARE |
| 00:14:51 | FOR
THIS. |
| 00:14:52 | AS THE GOVERNOR MENTIONED, VERY
DIFFICULT DECISION FOR HIM |
| 00:14:56 | TO MAKE, FOR THE SECRETARY TO
MAKE. |
| 00:14:58 | BUT WE DID RECEIVE A NUMBER OF
CALLS |
| 00:15:00 | WITH PEOPLE IN THEIR PERSONAL
REAL |
| 00:15:02 | STORIES
FROM POLL WORKERS AND THE LIKE |
| 00:15:05 | WHO
SAID, LOOK UP, WE'LL GO SEE |
| 00:15:07 | THIS THROUGH TOMORROW IF YOU
REALLY |
| 00:15:09 | WANT US TO DO THIS. BUT WE'RE
REALLY |
| 00:15:11 | SCARED.
WE'RE REALLY SCARED FOR OUR |
| 00:15:13 | HEALTH.
WE'RE REALLY SCARED ABOUT |
| 00:15:16 | WHAT THIS MEANS.
I TALKED TO PEOPLE WHO HAD |
| 00:15:20 | VOTED EVERY ELECTION
IN THEIR LIVES AND |
| 00:15:24 | WE'RE GOING TO SKIP TOMORROW
OUT OF |
| 00:15:25 | THEIR HEALTH CONCERNS.
THESE ARE THE VERY REAL CHOICES |
| 00:15:30 | THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO HAVE
TO |
| 00:15:32 | MAKE.
AND ULTIMATELY, IT IS NOT FAIR |
| 00:15:35 | TO FORCE THEM TO HAVE TO PICK
THEIR |
| 00:15:36 | HEALTH OR THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS. |
| 00:15:39 | AND BY EXTENDING
THE VOTING PERIOD, EVERYBODY |
| 00:15:43 | WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO VOTE BY
MAIL |
| 00:15:46 | SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME
IN |
| 00:15:47 | CONTACT WITH ANOTHER PERSON
CONSISTENT WITH WHAT DOCTOR |
| 00:15:50 | ACTING
AND THE HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE |
| 00:15:53 | URGING
EVERYONE TO DO. |
| 00:15:55 | THIS WINDOW OF VOTING BY MAIL.
IF THE COURT GRANTS, IT WILL BE |
| 00:15:59 | OPEN
FOR EVERYONE. |
| 00:16:01 | AND THAT REALLY
ACHIEVES THE GOAL OF MAKING |
| 00:16:06 | SURE THAT EVERYBODY CAN EXERCISE
THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT |
| 00:16:10 | SAFELY.
IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT |
| 00:16:14 | EARLIER TODAY WE SPOKE
WITH THE TWO STATE PARTY CHAIRS, |
| 00:16:18 | DAVID PEPPER AND JANE
TIMKIN, WHO WERE |
| 00:16:23 | CONSULTED AND SUPPORTED
THE DECISION. |
| 00:16:27 | AND SO WANTED TO
LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT, |
| 00:16:33 | LOOK, AS A FORMER SECRETARY OF
STATE, I KNOW THE BURDEN THAT |
| 00:16:36 | THIS
THIS CREATES |
| 00:16:38 | FOR THE SECRETARY.
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT THE |
| 00:16:41 | GOVERNOR
HAS USED SCIENCE AND THE BEST |
| 00:16:44 | MEDICAL ADVICE TO MAKE
DECISIONS. |
| 00:16:46 | AND WHEN THAT ADVICE CHANGES,
HE QUICKLY ADAPTS AND |
| 00:16:51 | AND TRIES TO KEEP THE PEOPLE OF
OHIO |
| 00:16:53 | SAFE. AND THAT'S THE
MOTIVATION FOR THE DECISION |
| 00:16:57 | HERE.
LET ME JUST ADD ONE ADDITIONAL |
| 00:16:59 | THING, AND I'M GOING TO ASK DR.
ACTON TO |
| 00:17:03 | SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THE SITUATION TODAY IN OUR |
| 00:17:08 | ADVICE.
LOOK, SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY, |
| 00:17:10 | WELL, GEE, THEY COULD HAVE
VOTED. |
| 00:17:12 | THEY HAD ALL THE TIME TO VOTE.
THEY COULD HAVE VOTED ABSENTEE. |
| 00:17:16 | AND THAT'S TRUE.
BUT I THINK WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE |
| 00:17:20 | WHO.
THEY VOTE ON ELECTION DAY IS |
| 00:17:24 | WHAT
THEY DO, AND |
| 00:17:27 | THE FACTS CONTINUE TO CHANGE
AND NOT THE FACTS CONTINUE TO |
| 00:17:32 | CHANGE
QUITE, QUITE BLUNTLY, |
| 00:17:35 | THE PUBLIC'S UNDERSTANDING OF
THE |
| 00:17:37 | FACTS CONTINUE TO CHANGE.
AND SO WHAT MAY HAVE LOOKED A |
| 00:17:42 | WEEK
AGO, LIKE THE RIGHT |
| 00:17:44 | DECISION. I'M GOING TO WAIT ON
MY |
| 00:17:45 | VOTE ON ELECTION DAY.
I ALWAYS DO. |
| 00:17:48 | SOMEONE MIGHT SAY
THE REALITY AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE |
| 00:17:53 | HEARING TODAY
AND WHAT THE MESSAGES ARE TODAY |
| 00:17:57 | WITH
THE NATIONAL NEWS OR HERE |
| 00:18:00 | IS. BE CAREFUL,
YOU KNOW. BE VERY, VERY, VERY |
| 00:18:04 | CAREFUL. IF YOU'RE 65 AND OLDER,
IF YOU HAVE COMPROMISED HEALTH. |
| 00:18:08 | AND SO, AGAIN, IS THAT IS
SINKING |
| 00:18:10 | IN.
PEOPLE NOW HAVE THIS |
| 00:18:13 | VERY, VERY CONFLICTED.
AND WHEN WE KNOW THEY'RE |
| 00:18:15 | CONFLICTED
BECAUSE WE'RE HEARING FROM |
| 00:18:18 | THEM.
SO I WANT TO ASK DR. ACTON TO |
| 00:18:21 | TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, BECAUSE
THE MESSAGE FROM TODAY IS IT IS |
| 00:18:26 | AGAIN, IS NOT JUST ABOUT THIS
ELECTION. |
| 00:18:30 | WELL, I WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR WHEN
THEY WATCH THIS TONIGHT. |
| 00:18:33 | THEY'RE WATCHING NOW IS
THE IMPORTANCE OF THOSE |
| 00:18:37 | INDIVIDUALS
WHO ARE 65 AND OLDER |
| 00:18:40 | AND THE RISKS THAT THEY TAKE
WHEN THEY LEAVE. AND I WOULD |
| 00:18:43 | SAY TO
THEIR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS, IF |
| 00:18:45 | YOU
HAVE SOMEONE |
| 00:18:48 | IN THAT AGE
OR THAT MEDICAL CONDITION. |
| 00:18:52 | HELP THEM OUT.
VOLUNTEER TO GET THEIR |
| 00:18:54 | GROCERIES FOR
THEM. VOLUNTEER TO HELP THEM. |
| 00:18:56 | AND IN A WAY THAT THAT
THAT YOU CAN WE ARE ALL |
| 00:19:00 | IN THIS TOGETHER.
DOCTOR ACTON. |
| 00:19:09 | GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.
I WANT TO START OUT, AS I |
| 00:19:13 | USUALLY
DO BY SAYING |
| 00:19:16 | I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE
MORE OF |
| 00:19:17 | THE SCIENCE TODAY.
I DO HOPE MY TEAM IS PUT |
| 00:19:21 | TOGETHER.
WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS EVERY DAY |
| 00:19:23 | IN
OHIO AND THERE'S A LOT OF |
| 00:19:25 | SCIENCE AND DISCUSSIONS WE'VE
HAD. |
| 00:19:27 | SO WE'VE COMPILED THOSE
ARE THE PAST PRESS CONFERENCES |
| 00:19:30 | TO
HELP FOLKS SORT OF CATCH UP |
| 00:19:32 | TO WHERE WHERE WE ARE, BUT WE
KNOW THAT EVERYONE ISN'T THERE. |
| 00:19:37 | LET ME START OUT BY SAYING WE
DO. |
| 00:19:40 | AS OF EARLIER TODAY, WITH
MANY, MANY MORE TESTS COMING IN |
| 00:19:44 | EVERY MOMENT, WE DID
CONFIRM ON OUR WEB SITE 50 |
| 00:19:48 | POSITIVE
TESTS A WEEK AGO |
| 00:19:50 | WAS OUR FIRST CASE.
SO 50 CASES |
| 00:19:55 | AND AS I'VE SAID, CASES
ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TESTED. |
| 00:19:59 | OUR TESTING IS EXPANDING.
IT'S STILL CONCENTRATED A LOT |
| 00:20:03 | AROUND WHAT WE CALL, YOU KNOW,
HOW |
| 00:20:05 | THE BIG THREE SEES THE BIGGER
CITIES. |
| 00:20:07 | A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM
COUNTIES TO THAT |
| 00:20:11 | AND THAT CAPACITY IS BUILDING.
WE'LL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT |
| 00:20:13 | THAT IN
DAYS TO COME. |
| 00:20:16 | BUT WE KNOW THAT'S THE TIP OF
THE |
| 00:20:17 | ICEBERG.
AGAIN, THE ONSET OF OUR CASES |
| 00:20:21 | AS EARLY AS SYMPTOMS
OF FEBRUARY 7TH |
| 00:20:25 | THROUGH MARCH 15TH.
AS WE SAID YESTERDAY, KNOWING |
| 00:20:30 | THAT
FOLKS HAVE TO BE INFECTIOUS |
| 00:20:31 | BEFORE
THEY'RE SYMPTOMATIC. |
| 00:20:34 | SO SO WE KNOW
WITH THE CASES AND THE HISTORIES |
| 00:20:37 | WE'RE GETTING NOW THAT THERE'S
JUST |
| 00:20:39 | SO MUCH COMMUNITY SPREAD THAT WE
CAN'T TIE TO THE |
| 00:20:43 | TRAVEL HISTORY OR TO A CONTACT,
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME OF |
| 00:20:46 | THOSE AS
WELL. |
| 00:20:48 | THE AGE RANGE TODAY,
14 |
| 00:20:52 | TO AGE 86.
WITH A MEDIAN AGE OF FIFTY |
| 00:20:57 | ONE.
20 FEMALES, 30 |
| 00:21:01 | MALES, HOSPITALIZATIONS,
14. |
| 00:21:06 | SO WE'LL HAVE MORE
INFORMATION ON OUR COUNTIES ON |
| 00:21:10 | OUR
WEB SITE. |
| 00:21:12 | BUT I THINK THAT GIVES YOU A
SENSE |
| 00:21:13 | IT'S IT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN
SAYING. |
| 00:21:15 | IT'S WHAT WE'RE PREDICTING.
THIS SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISING TO |
| 00:21:18 | FOLKS.
BUT I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO |
| 00:21:22 | NOTE. 86- YEAR- OLD,
14-YEAR- OLD. |
| 00:21:25 | WE DO KNOW THAT CHILDREN GET
THIS. |
| 00:21:28 | WE DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE
VERY HIGH RISK GROUPS THAT WE |
| 00:21:31 | HAVE TO TALK ABOUT TODAY.
AND WE DO KNOW THAT WE ARE ON |
| 00:21:36 | THE UPSLOPE OF THIS CURVE.
SO TODAY, WHEN I BEGAN THIS WEEK |
| 00:21:42 | AND WHEN I TALKED TO MY TEAM
AND I TALKED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S |
| 00:21:45 | TEAM, I HAD THREE MAJOR
PRIORITIES INTO THIS WEEK |
| 00:21:49 | AS WE TALKED ABOUT. WE MOVED A
LOT |
| 00:21:51 | OF THE BIG ROCKS.
WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A VACCINE, |
| 00:21:55 | WHEN YOU CAN USE THESE
EVIDENCE BASED COMMUNITY |
| 00:21:59 | MITIGATION STRATEGIES THAT YOU
SEE |
| 00:22:01 | BEING DEPLOYED AROUND THE
WORLD, THE |
| 00:22:02 | NON PHARMACOLOGIC INTERVENTIONS.
WE MOVED A LOT OF THOSE BIG |
| 00:22:06 | ROCKS.
AND AS I TOLD YOU, WE'LL GO TO |
| 00:22:08 | THE
NEXT CASCADING LAYER AND WE KEEP |
| 00:22:11 | WORKING OUR WAY THROUGH WHAT THE
NEXT POLICY DECISIONS ARE. |
| 00:22:15 | AND SO I THOUGHT A LOT THIS WEEK
THAT I'LL BE VERY FOCUSED ON THE |
| 00:22:18 | HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
AND YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE IN |
| 00:22:19 | THE
DAYS TO COME. |
| 00:22:21 | EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING WITH OUR
INCREDIBLE PARTNERSHIP WITH |
| 00:22:24 | OUR HOSPITALS AND OUR OUR
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AND |
| 00:22:28 | AND WE'LL BE REVIEWING A LOT
MORE |
| 00:22:30 | OF THE STRATEGY THAT THEY'RE
WORKING |
| 00:22:31 | ON.
I'M THINKING A LOT ABOUT OUR |
| 00:22:34 | VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
AND WE HAVE TEAMS AND |
| 00:22:37 | TEAMS THAT ARE DEPLOYED WORKING
ON |
| 00:22:39 | THINGS FROM HOMELESSNESS TO,
YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL MEALS AND |
| 00:22:43 | EVERYTHING YOU CAN POSSIBLY
THINK OF |
| 00:22:45 | AND STRATEGIES AROUND THAT.
AND THEN THIRDLY, AND THIS IS |
| 00:22:48 | VERY
IMPORTANT IN PUBLIC HEALTH, |
| 00:22:49 | COMMUNICATION IS EVERYTHING.
WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, JUST |
| 00:22:54 | AN AMAZING RESPONSE ON OUR
HOTLINE, |
| 00:22:56 | OUR 8 3, 3, 4,
ASK ODH NUMBER |
| 00:23:00 | ON OUR WEB SITE CORONAVIRUS DOT
OHIO DOT GOV. |
| 00:23:04 | WE ARE RAMPING THAT UP RAPIDLY.
I GET LOTS OF INFORMATION JUST |
| 00:23:08 | JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HERE,
FAMILY, FRIENDS, ANYONE I'VE |
| 00:23:12 | EVER
KNOWN IN MY LIFE. |
| 00:23:14 | MAYORS, COMMISSIONERS, EVERYONE
HAS IDEAS WHAT MORE WE COULD DO. |
| 00:23:18 | AND WE'RE RAMPING UP
COMMUNICATIONS |
| 00:23:19 | AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN,
TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE |
| 00:23:23 | CHANGING
NEWS. |
| 00:23:24 | I REALLY APPRECIATE THE
AMBULANCE |
| 00:23:26 | PATIENTS,
EVEN WHEN THEY'VE HAD TO WAIT |
| 00:23:29 | FOR A
CALLBACK. |
| 00:23:32 | WE HAVE TALKED THIS MORNING
WITH OUR CONGRESSIONAL |
| 00:23:36 | DELEGATION,
WITH OUR SENATORS. |
| 00:23:38 | AND I CAN TELL YOU, THE WHOLE
COUNTRY IS MOVING TODAY. |
| 00:23:41 | WE TALKED TO THE PRESIDENT AND
THE |
| 00:23:43 | VISE PRESIDENT AND OTHER
GOVERNORS |
| 00:23:45 | ON A CALL TODAY.
AND AS YOU'LL SEE NOW, |
| 00:23:48 | EVERYONE IS SORT OF MOVING FULL
COURT PRESS INTO THIS NEXT |
| 00:23:53 | STAGE.
AND WE KNOW THAT TIMING IS |
| 00:23:54 | EVERYTHING.
THAT EVERY DAY AND |
| 00:23:58 | EVERY PERSON MATTERS.
SO WE ARE IN THAT FOR A FULL |
| 00:24:02 | COURT
PRESS MODE. |
| 00:24:03 | I MEAN, SOME SOME THINGS I WANT
TO |
| 00:24:05 | SHARE WITH YOU.
HIGH RISK GROUPS, WE TALK A LOT |
| 00:24:09 | ABOUT THIS. AND AS WE KNOW, 65
IN OLDER ARE PARTICULARLY |
| 00:24:12 | VULNERABLE, UP TO 15
TIMES THE FATALITY RATE IN OUR |
| 00:24:16 | EARLY STUDIES ON THIS.
AND SIGNIFICANTLY, |
| 00:24:20 | WE MUST PROTECT THIS POPULATION.
AND WITH THAT, I SAY, LIKE |
| 00:24:24 | I SAY WITH EVERYONE RIGHT NOW,
IF |
| 00:24:26 | IT IS NONESSENTIAL, YOU SHOULD
NOT |
| 00:24:28 | BE DOING IT.
AND AND AND ESPECIALLY |
| 00:24:32 | FOR THE ELDERLY.
I KNOW TALKING TO MY IN-LAWS, |
| 00:24:35 | UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW,
MY FATHER HAS PASSED. |
| 00:24:38 | I'M TALKING TO MY UNCLES AND
AUNTS. |
| 00:24:40 | BUT, YOU KNOW, WITH MY IN-LAWS,
YOU KNOW, MY FATHER IN LAW IS |
| 00:24:44 | IN HIS
MID 80S AS WELL. |
| 00:24:46 | AND WE'RE MAKING ALL THESE
DECISIONS |
| 00:24:48 | THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE AT HOME ARE
MAKING. |
| 00:24:51 | THEY'RE NOT YOU KNOW, WE'RE
TRYING |
| 00:24:52 | TO HELP THEM WITH GROCERIES.
WE'RE TRYING TO HELP THEM NOT |
| 00:24:54 | HAVE
TO GO TO THE STORE. |
| 00:24:56 | THE PRESIDENT AND VISE PRESIDENT
ASSURED US, YOU KNOW, WE'RE |
| 00:24:59 | CLOSING
A LOT OF THINGS. |
| 00:25:00 | BUT PLEASE KNOW AT HOME, FOOD.
GROCERY STORES WILL REMAIN OPEN. |
| 00:25:05 | MEDICINE WILL REMAIN OPEN.
BANKS WILL REMAIN OPEN. |
| 00:25:09 | SO WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD TO
KEEP |
| 00:25:10 | THOSE LIFELINES AND EVEN IN
OTHER |
| 00:25:12 | COUNTRIES, VERY HARD HIT.
THEY HAVE TIMES EVEN IN CHINA. |
| 00:25:15 | EVEN IN ITALY WHERE PEOPLE CAN
RESTOCK. |
| 00:25:18 | BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO
MAKE |
| 00:25:19 | THOSE ELECTIVE CHOICES, YOU
KNOW, BY HELPING OUT OUR |
| 00:25:23 | ELDERLY.
NOT NOT SOMETHING THEY HAVE TO |
| 00:25:25 | TAKE,
BUT WE HAVE OTHER HIGH RISK |
| 00:25:26 | GROUPS.
I'VE SAID BEFORE, HEART DISEASE, |
| 00:25:29 | DIABETES, PREEXISTING
LUNG DISORDERS, THOSE ARE ALL |
| 00:25:33 | HIGH RISK. OBESITY HAS BEEN SEEN
TO BE HIGH RISK. |
| 00:25:36 | WE KNOW THIS AFFECTS A LOT OF
OHIOANS. |
| 00:25:39 | I'M ALSO THINKING A LOT ABOUT
PEOPLE |
| 00:25:41 | WHO ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED, WHO
ARE |
| 00:25:42 | BEING TREATED FOR CANCER AND
OTHER DISEASES |
| 00:25:46 | WHERE THEY'RE ON DRUGS THAT
ACTUALLY |
| 00:25:48 | SUPPRESS THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM.
WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE YOUNG KIDS |
| 00:25:52 | WITH
CYSTIC FIBROSIS AND OTHER |
| 00:25:54 | DISEASES, HEMOPHILIA.
SO WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS WHO |
| 00:25:57 | ARE
VERY HIGH RISK ON DRUGS |
| 00:26:00 | THAT MAKE IT SO THAT THERE ARE
HIGH |
| 00:26:01 | RISK.
SO ALL OF THOSE FOLKS HAVE HAD |
| 00:26:05 | A LOT OF CONCERN
CALLS FROM FOLKS ABOUT |
| 00:26:09 | PREGNANCY,
AND THEY'RE VERY, VERY NERVOUS |
| 00:26:11 | ABOUT THAT.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW |
| 00:26:14 | THERE'S
VERY LITTLE DATA RIGHT NOW ON |
| 00:26:16 | THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, GETTING ANY INFECTION |
| 00:26:18 | DURING PREGNANCY, A FEVER IS
KNOWN |
| 00:26:20 | TO BE HIGH RISK.
BUT THERE ISN'T SOLID DATA YET |
| 00:26:23 | FOR
THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS. |
| 00:26:25 | WE'RE GOING TO STAY VERY CLOSE
ATTUNED TO THAT |
| 00:26:28 | IN TERMS OF THAT.
SO WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS OUT |
| 00:26:31 | THERE
WHO ARE SCARED AND WORRIED AND |
| 00:26:33 | THEREFORE, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER
THEM |
| 00:26:35 | BEING ABLE TO STAY AT HOME AND
STAY |
| 00:26:37 | HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE.
WE ARE WORKING AGAIN WITH |
| 00:26:42 | VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, AND I'M
JUST SO PLEASED THAT THE FEDERAL |
| 00:26:45 | LEVEL, OUR SENATORS ARE LEADING
AND WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON |
| 00:26:50 | POLICIES
AND STAY TUNED ON ALL THAT. |
| 00:26:51 | I KNOW IT'S HARD TO TOLERATE
AMBIGUITY AND NOT HAVE EVERY |
| 00:26:55 | ANSWER RIGHT NOW FROM YOUR GYM
TO A BOWLING ALLEY TO. |
| 00:26:59 | I'VE BEEN REACHED OUT BY THE
PERSON |
| 00:27:01 | WHO CUTS MY HAIR, ALTHOUGH VERY
INFREQUENTLY. EVERYTHING |
| 00:27:04 | --BECAUSE
WHO HAS TIME? |
| 00:27:06 | EVEN SHE WHO IS PREGNANT RIGHT
NOW |
| 00:27:08 | REACHED OUT AND SAID, WHAT DO
WE ALL |
| 00:27:09 | DO? WHAT DO I.
SHOULD I KEEP DOING MY WORK? |
| 00:27:12 | AND THESE ARE HARD ANSWERS AND
WE |
| 00:27:13 | DON'T HAVE EVERY SCIENTIFIC
ANSWER YET. SO WE WILL KEEP |
| 00:27:17 | GUIDING
YOU AS BEST WE CAN, BUT WE'RE |
| 00:27:19 | ALL
HAVING TO MAKE SOME VERY HARD |
| 00:27:20 | DECISIONS RIGHT NOW.
PPE REMAINS A REALLY |
| 00:27:25 | IMPORTANT THING.
PART OF OUR HEALTH CARE ADVICE. |
| 00:27:29 | BUT WE'LL BE GIVING THIS OUT
SOON |
| 00:27:31 | FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE
INDUSTRY. |
| 00:27:33 | WE HAVE A LOT OF LATEX NITRILE
GLOVES. |
| 00:27:36 | YOU KNOW, THE GLOVES THAT WE
WEAR IN |
| 00:27:37 | PREPARING FOOD. FOLKS ARE NOT
USING |
| 00:27:39 | THOSE. WE'VE BEEN ASKED.
SIMILARLY WITH THE ASKS ARE |
| 00:27:42 | GOING TO
BE HEARING ABOUT DELAYING |
| 00:27:44 | UNNECESSARY AMBULATORY SURGICAL
SURGERIES. |
| 00:27:48 | AND DENTISTS AND VETERINARIANS
ARE GOING TO BE ASKED THIS IN |
| 00:27:51 | THE
DAYS TO COME. |
| 00:27:52 | IF YOU HAVE PPE, THE
PROTECTIVE GEAR, WHETHER THEY BE |
| 00:27:56 | MASKS, SURGICAL N95
GLOVES, FACE SHIELDS |
| 00:28:01 | THAT YOU WILL NOT BE USING.
IF YOU CAN GET THOSE TO YOUR |
| 00:28:04 | LOCAL
EMA THEY WILL COLLECT THOSE. |
| 00:28:07 | WE'LL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT
THAT AND |
| 00:28:08 | TIME TO COMBAT. I KNOW OUR
FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY HAS |
| 00:28:11 | OFFERED TO HELP WITH THAT
AS WELL. |
| 00:28:15 | I JUST WANT TO SAY.
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF |
| 00:28:20 | PEDIATRICS,
WE'VE REACHED OUT TO OUR OHIO |
| 00:28:22 | CHAPTER TO WORK VERY HARD,
PEDIATRICIANS WANTS |
| 00:28:25 | SOME MORE GUIDANCE.
OUR PARENTS ARE WONDERING WHAT |
| 00:28:28 | WHAT
YOU CAN DO, WHAT IS SAFE FOR |
| 00:28:30 | YOUR YOUR CHILD.
AND WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING |
| 00:28:33 | THAT
GUIDANCE WITH THE BEST, BEST |
| 00:28:35 | MEDICAL
EXPERTS WE CAN. |
| 00:28:37 | I WANT TO THANK THE SECRETARY
OF STATE AND HIS |
| 00:28:41 | HIS TEAM.
WE'VE WORKED TIRELESSLY. |
| 00:28:43 | WE WORKED FIRST ON NURSING HOMES
AND REMOVING THAT FROM THERE. |
| 00:28:47 | WE'VE WORKED HARD ON MAKING SURE
THAT THE ELDERLY IN THE NURSING |
| 00:28:50 | HOMES COULD VOTE.
WE'VE WORKED CLOSELY IN THE |
| 00:28:52 | LAST FEW
DAYS. I'M PROUDLY WEARING |
| 00:28:55 | THE VOTE PIN THAT I RECEIVED
AND I ASKED YOU. |
| 00:28:59 | AND PEOPLE RESPONDED TO GO OUT
AND REGISTER TO BE A VOTE |
| 00:29:03 | VOTER. AND I THANK YOU FOR DOING
THAT. WE HAVE DONE EVERY |
| 00:29:06 | POSSIBLE
THING WE CAN WITH THE KNOWLEDGE |
| 00:29:08 | WE'VE HAD.
AND I JUST THINK HIS TEAM |
| 00:29:12 | AND I THANK YOU AT HOME AND
WE'LL |
| 00:29:13 | HAVE MORE FOR YOU.
COUPLE OF THINGS THAT UPDATE AND |
| 00:29:20 | EMPHASIZE,

| 00:29:25 | DR. ACTON'S SAID, WE WERE ON THE
CALL WITH PRESIDENT VICE |
| 00:29:29 | PRESIDENT

| 00:29:31 | MEETINGS WILLING TO PROVIDE SOME
REASSURANCE. |
| 00:29:34 | THE GROCERY STORES ARE GOING TO
REMAIN OPEN. |
| 00:29:36 | YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ACCESS TO
THE ESSENTIALS OF LIFE. |
| 00:29:39 | THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT ELIMINATING |
| 00:29:43 | THE THREATS FROM THE
NON-ESSENTIAL |
| 00:29:45 | SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THE
ESSENTIAL. |

| 00:30:08 | IF YOU'RE A BUSINESS AND YOU'RE
A |
| 00:30:09 | SMALL BUSINESS WHO ARE IMPACTED
BY |
| 00:30:11 | THIS. REMEMBER, ASSISTANCE
IS AVAILABLE AT BUSINESS HELP |
| 00:30:16 | AT DEVELOPMENT DOT
OHIO DOT GOV. |
| 00:30:22 | ADDITIONALLY,
WE HAVE. |
| 00:30:29 | UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION
SERVICES FOR |
| 00:30:34 | THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE
DISPLACED |
| 00:30:37 | BY THIS
SITUATION. |
| 00:30:41 | UNEMPLOYMENT DOT OHIO
DOT GOV. I WANT TO REPEAT THAT. |
| 00:30:44 | UNEMPLOYMENT, DOT OHIO
DOT GOV RIGHT |
| 00:30:48 | NOW. LAST CHECK.
ONE SUNDAY AGO WE HAD FIVE |
| 00:30:53 | HUNDRED
AND SIXTY TWO |
| 00:30:55 | APPLICATIONS.
THIS PAST SUNDAY, WE HAD 12000. |
| 00:30:58 | YOU CAN SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE
BEING |
| 00:31:00 | IMPACTED.
THE CALL LINE IS AN |
| 00:31:03 | HOUR AND 40 MINUTE WAIT RIGHT
NOW. |
| 00:31:05 | SO IF YOU CAN PLEASE USE
IF YOU HAVE THE AVAILABILITY, |
| 00:31:10 | THE WEB SITE, THAT WILL HELP
MAKE |
| 00:31:12 | THE CALL LINE AVAILABLE FOR
THOSE |
| 00:31:13 | PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE
WEBSITE ACCESS. |
| 00:31:18 | ALL OF US
WORKING TOGETHER, COOPERATING |
| 00:31:21 | CAN HELP MAKE THIS PROCESS
EASIER |
| 00:31:24 | FOR EVERYONE.
HOWEVER, IF YOU DO HAVE |
| 00:31:27 | NO OTHER WAY TO REACH, YOU
CAN'T REACH THROUGH |
| 00:31:31 | A COMPUTER.
YOU HAVE THE TOLL FREE NUMBER |
| 00:31:34 | 1 8 7 7
6 4 4 6 |
| 00:31:38 | 5 6 2.
AND I WANT TO MENTION THIS |
| 00:31:44 | AGAIN.
ONE OF THE WAYS THAT'S GOING TO |
| 00:31:45 | BE
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR EMPLOYERS |
| 00:31:47 | TO
HELP HELP THIS |
| 00:31:49 | DOCTOR ACT AND BEEN TALKING WITH
IS TO SLOW THE SPREAD. |
| 00:31:53 | IF YOU HAVE AN EMPLOYEE WHO
IS EXHIBITING SIGNS |
| 00:31:57 | OF AN ILLNESS, SEND THEM HOME.
DO NOT KEEP THEM AT YOUR |
| 00:32:01 | BUSINESS.
THEY ARE ELIGIBLE. |
| 00:32:04 | IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PAID, IF YOU
DON'T HAVE PAID |
| 00:32:08 | SICK LEAVE, THEY ARE ELIGIBLE
FOR UNEMPLOYMENT IMMEDIATELY |
| 00:32:12 | UNDER
THIS PROGRAM. DO NOT KEEP A SICK |
| 00:32:14 | PERSON AT WORK
BECAUSE WHETHER THEY HAVE AN |
| 00:32:18 | ESSENTIAL MISSION OR NOT, SEND
THEM |
| 00:32:20 | AWAY. PUT A HEALTHY PERSON IN
THERE TO DO THIS. |
| 00:32:23 | ANOTHER OPTION FOR EMPLOYERS IS
TO |
| 00:32:25 | REMEMBER WHEN WE GET THROUGH
THIS AND WE WILL. |
| 00:32:29 | AND THE ECONOMY WILL REBOUND.
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THOSE |
| 00:32:32 | SKILLED
EMPLOYEES, TAKE CARE OF THEM |
| 00:32:34 | NOW,
HELP THEM OUT. |
| 00:32:36 | AND WE ALSO HAVE WAYS FOR YOU TO
DO THIS THROUGH SHARED |
| 00:32:39 | WORK.
SHARED WORK IS A PROGRAM THROUGH |
| 00:32:45 | THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF JOB
AND FAMILY SERVICES. |
| 00:32:49 | IT CAN HELP YOU MANAGE
BOTH THE SIZE OF YOUR |
| 00:32:53 | WORKFORCE AND HELP GET THOSE
WHO NEED IT INTO A TRAINING |
| 00:32:58 | PROGRAM.
WE HAVE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW A |
| 00:33:00 | WINDOW
OF OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE WILL |
| 00:33:02 | PAY FOR

| 00:33:18 | WILL DEMAND OF YOU WHEN

| 00:33:39 | DRAMATIC IMPACT
THAT THAT THESE DECISIONS HAVE |
| 00:33:43 | ON REAL PEOPLE, BUSINESSES IN
THEIR DAILY LIVES. |
| 00:33:46 | WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD THAT
SUPPORT |
| 00:33:47 | STRUCTURE AROUND YOU AS FAST

| 00:33:50 | WE TALKED WITH THE PRESIDENT
AND THE |
| 00:33:52 | VISE PRESIDENT TODAY.
WE TALKED WITH OUR CONGRESSIONAL |
| 00:33:54 | DELEGATION.
WE HOPE THAT FEDERAL ACTION |
| 00:33:57 | WILL HELP GIVE A BOOST
TO THESE EFFORTS. |
| 00:34:01 | BUT KNOW, THAT
ACTUALLY FOR PEOPLE AT OUR |
| 00:34:05 | WORLD.
I FOUND IT KIND OF |
| 00:34:08 | IT HIT HOME TODAY FOR PEOPLE
WITH THIS ELECTION NEWS, |
| 00:34:12 | BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A
LOT |
| 00:34:14 | OF PEOPLE ON OUR LINE OF WORK
WHO |
| 00:34:15 | ARE REALLY IMPACTED BY THIS.
AND THEY WERE SAYING TO |
| 00:34:19 | THEMSELVES,
OH, MY GOSH, THIS IS REALLY |
| 00:34:20 | GOING TO
DISRUPT MY LIFE. |
| 00:34:23 | PUBLIC OFFICIALS.
WE'RE ALL IN THIS. |
| 00:34:25 | OK, EVERYBODY WHO'S ON THE
BALLOT, |
| 00:34:27 | THESE KIND OF SAME DISRUPTIONS
ARE |
| 00:34:29 | HAPPINESS. SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS AND |
| 00:34:31 | FAMILIES AND EVERYBODY ACROSS
THIS STATE. WE ARE ALL GOING TO |
| 00:34:35 | EXPERIENCE THIS DISRUPTION.
AND AS WE UNDERSTAND |
| 00:34:39 | THAT AND BUILD THESE SUPPORT
SYSTEMS |
| 00:34:40 | AROUND EACH OTHER, WE'LL ALL GET
THROUGH THIS MUCH BETTER. |
| 00:34:43 | THANK YOU.
IF WE'D JUST ADD ONE MORE |
| 00:34:46 | COMMENT
ABOUT RUMORS JOHN TALKED ABOUT A |
| 00:34:48 | LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GROCERY
STORES |
| 00:34:50 | STAYING OPEN, THESE RUMORS
ABOUT ALL KINDS OF THINGS. |
| 00:34:53 | WE'VE ALWAYS HAD PEOPLE WHO
SPREAD |
| 00:34:54 | RUMORS.
TODAY WE HAVE THE INTERNET. |
| 00:34:56 | SO IT'S IT BECOMES
MORE OF A CHALLENGE, BUT |
| 00:35:00 | A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE.
PEOPLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET |
| 00:35:04 | THE
GOOD INFORMATION. |
| 00:35:05 | SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO KNOCK
THOSE |
| 00:35:06 | RUMORS DOWN ANY TIME THAT WE
HAVE |
| 00:35:08 | THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT.
BUT I JUST WOULD SAY TO |
| 00:35:12 | THE FOLKS AT HOME WHO ARE
WATCHING THIS, SEE THIS TONIGHT? |
| 00:35:17 | YOU KNOW, IF IT'S A CRAZY
RUMOR, IT |
| 00:35:19 | PROBABLY IS A CRAZY RUMOR.
AS FAR AS THE GROCERY STORE. |
| 00:35:22 | PEOPLE HAVE TO EAT.
WE JUST KEPT GETTING CALLS ABOUT |
| 00:35:24 | THIS. ARE YOU CLOSING THE
GROCERY |
| 00:35:25 | STORES? WELL, NO.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THAT. |
| 00:35:27 | AND WE'LL KEEP THE RESTAURANTS
OPEN. |
| 00:35:30 | WE'RE DOWN TO DOING WHAT
WE NEED TO DO TO KEEP PEOPLE |
| 00:35:34 | ALIVE
AND KEEP PEOPLE IN |
| 00:35:36 | THEIR HOMES.
AND WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH |
| 00:35:39 | THIS,
BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE. |
| 00:35:41 | AND THE GOAL IS TO GET
EVERYBODY THROUGH THIS. |
| 00:35:46 | SO THERE WILL BE OTHER ST.
PATRICK'S |
| 00:35:47 | DAY, AS I SAID, YESTERDAY.
THERE'LL BE OTHER DAYS THAT WE |
| 00:35:50 | CAN
CELEBRATE. SO WE'RE |
| 00:35:52 | HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS.
[QUESTION]. |
| 00:36:14 | PART OF IT IS AGAIN,
WE DO. WE TRY TO LISTEN TO |
| 00:36:18 | PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES PUBLIC |
| 00:36:20 | OFFICIALS, YOU KNOW, AREN'T
LISTENING. |
| 00:36:23 | BUT WE TRY TO LISTEN.
AND WE'VE HAD PEOPLE SAID |
| 00:36:27 | THIS A MOMENT AGO.
WE HAD PEOPLE WHO IS JUST KIND |
| 00:36:29 | OF
GOT TO THEM NOW. |
| 00:36:31 | THEY UNDERSTAND IT'S I
SHOULDN'T GO OUT. |
| 00:36:34 | I I'M PREGNANT OR
I'M, YOU KNOW, SEVENTY |
| 00:36:38 | FIVE YEARS OLD OR
WHATEVER. I HAD THIS MEDICAL |
| 00:36:42 | PROBLEM
AND NOW I GET IT. I REALLY |
| 00:36:43 | SHOULDN'T
GO OUT. AND I AM NOW, NOW VERY, |
| 00:36:46 | VERY CONFLICTED.
THOSE ARE STORIES WE'RE HEARING |
| 00:36:49 | FROM
REAL PEOPLE AND IT IS |
| 00:36:51 | TAKEN.
TWO THINGS ARE GOING ON, OUR |
| 00:36:54 | UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S GOING
ON. |
| 00:36:58 | CDC CHANGING DOWN TO 50
OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON. |
| 00:37:02 | AND WE PROCESS THESE.
I PROCESS THIS. |
| 00:37:05 | OUR TEAM PROCESSES THIS.
BUT THERE ARE THINGS GOING ON |
| 00:37:08 | THAT
CONTINUES TO CHANGES THE |
| 00:37:10 | PUBLIC'S
UNDERSTANDING. AND SO PUBLIC. |
| 00:37:12 | WE'RE GETTING CALLS.
WE GET PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING, |
| 00:37:15 | LOOK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. |
| 00:37:18 | AND SO WE HAVE A
ALTERNATIVE THAT IS |
| 00:37:23 | DISRUPTIVE.
YES, BUT |
| 00:37:26 | IT PROTECTS PEOPLE'S
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS |
| 00:37:30 | AND ALLOWS THEM TO
IF THEY'VE NOT VOTED. |
| 00:37:34 | ABLEIST VOTED.
THEY VOTED. |
| 00:37:36 | BUT ANYBODY WHO HAS NOT VOTED,
THEY'RE NOW GOING TO HAVE AN |
| 00:37:39 | EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND
THEY'RE |
| 00:37:41 | GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT FROM
THEIR HOME. |
| 00:37:44 | THEY KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS.
NOW THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT |
| 00:37:47 | GOING TO GET BETTER IMMEDIATELY.
AND SO THEY CAN MAKE A RATIONAL |
| 00:37:51 | DECISION.
DO YOU KNOW, DO I PULL THIS DARK |
| 00:37:53 | MATTER AND ADD TO I SEND THIS IN
AND GET MY BALLOT BACK AND VOTE |
| 00:37:58 | AND WE'RE GIVING THEM PLENTY OF
TIME |
| 00:37:59 | TO TO PROCESS THAT AND TO DO
THAT. SO IS |
| 00:38:03 | IT A PERFECT DECISION?
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. |
| 00:38:06 | IS IT?
BUT WE BELIEVE IT'S THE BEST OF |
| 00:38:09 | BAD
ALTERNATIVES. |
| 00:38:11 | AND IT DOES PRESERVE PEOPLE'S
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. |
| 00:38:13 | IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THEM
TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEIR HEALTH |
| 00:38:17 | AND EXERCISING THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL |
| 00:38:20 | RIGHT.
THOSE WHO DO WANT TO VOTE IN |
| 00:38:25 | PERSON.
WHY DO WE THINK JUNE 2ND IS |
| 00:38:27 | SAFER
THAN MARCH 17? |
| 00:38:31 | THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
FIRST OF ALL, WE DON'T KNOW. |
| 00:38:36 | WE DON'T KNOW. LET'S BE HONEST.
WE DON'T KNOW. |
| 00:38:40 | WE AS WE STARTED TO
ANALYZE THIS AND WE TALKED TO |
| 00:38:43 | THE
SECRETARY OF STATE AND ALL OF US |
| 00:38:46 | WERE CONFERRING ABOUT THIS.
SAFER WOULD HAVE BEEN SEPTEMBER. |
| 00:38:55 | WE HAVE ONE PROBLEM.
THERE'S A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION |
| 00:38:57 | YEAR.
WE HAVE TO SELECT DELEGATES, THE |
| 00:39:00 | DEMOCRATS AFTER SELECT
DELEGATES. |
| 00:39:02 | THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TO SELECT
DELEGATES. THAT WOULD WOULD'VE |
| 00:39:04 | BEEN
TOO LATE TO DO THAT. |
| 00:39:06 | SO BEST THIS WAS THE DATE THAT
SEEMED AS FAR OUT AS |
| 00:39:10 | WE COULD PUSH IT.
BUT WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME AND |
| 00:39:12 | I DON'T KNOW, FRANK, IF YOU
WANT TO |
| 00:39:14 | TALK ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE WE HAD
RELIED ON YOU FOR THAT ADVICE |
| 00:39:18 | OF HOW TO BALANCE THOSE THINGS.
SO OBVIOUSLY, WE NEED TO BE |
| 00:39:22 | ABLE TO
TELL THE NATIONAL |
| 00:39:24 | DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHO THE OHIO
DELEGATES ARE GOING TO BE TO |
| 00:39:28 | ATTEND
THEIR NATIONAL CONVENTION. |
| 00:39:30 | TIMING BACK FROM THE DATE OF
THAT |
| 00:39:32 | CONVENTION AND LEAVING TIME FOR
THERE TO BE THE OFFICIAL |
| 00:39:35 | CANVASS AND CERTIFICATION.
AND ALL OF THAT TAKES |
| 00:39:39 | US OUT TO EFFECTIVELY THAT THAT
FIRST TUESDAY IN IN JUNE BEING |
| 00:39:43 | THE TIME THAT THAT WOULD BE
THE DAY TO HOLD THE ELECTION AS |
| 00:39:46 | FAR
OUT AS WE CAN AND BEYOND. |
| 00:39:49 | WELL, LET ME.
GO AHEAD, FRANK. |
| 00:39:54 | IN A PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY,
OBVIOUSLY, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS |
| 00:39:57 | SELECTING DELEGATES FOR A
CONVENTION. |
| 00:40:00 | THE DATE OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION IS IN JULY. |
| 00:40:03 | THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION COMES
A |
| 00:40:05 | FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT IN ORDER TO
ACCOMMODATE THAT DATE. |
| 00:40:08 | WE NEED TO IN
IN ORDER TO SEND THE RIGHT |
| 00:40:12 | DELEGATES
TO THAT CONVENTION. |
| 00:40:14 | WE TIMED BACK FROM THAT,
GIVEN THE TIME THAT IT TAKES TO |
| 00:40:18 | DO
THE CERTIFICATION TO ALLOW |
| 00:40:20 | THE CONTESTS
OF BALLOTS THAT OCCUR AND |
| 00:40:24 | ALL THAT KIND OF THING, TO TRY
TO |
| 00:40:25 | KEEP AS MUCH OF THE NORMAL
ASPECT OF HOW WE RUN ELECTIONS |
| 00:40:28 | INTACT AS WELL.
AND THAT DATE WAS WAS JUNE 2ND. |
| 00:40:34 | LET ME ADD SOMETHING TO
SECRETARY LAROSE AND I SPOKE |
| 00:40:38 | ABOUT THIS THIS MORNING BASED ON
GOVERNOR KIND OF TASK US TO TRY |
| 00:40:41 | TO
FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO THIS. |
| 00:40:44 | WHAT THIS GUARANTEES
IS THAT EVERYBODY WILL HAVE |
| 00:40:48 | AMPLE
TIME. YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT |
| 00:40:49 | JUNE
2ND TIMEFRAME. |
| 00:40:51 | EVERYBODY WHO DOESN'T WANT
TO RUN THE RISK OF HAVING TO GO |
| 00:40:55 | VOTE IN PERSON WILL HAVE
AMPLE TIME TO REQUEST THAT VOTE |
| 00:40:59 | BY MAIL BALLOT
AND CAST IT SO THAT THEY DON'T |
| 00:41:03 | HAVE TO PUT THAT DON'T
PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK. |
| 00:41:06 | SO TO JIM'S POINT, WHY THE
DATE WE HAVE THIS ISSUE |
| 00:41:10 | THAT COMES FROM THE TIMING OF
THE |
| 00:41:12 | DELEGATES, BUT ALSO
ANYBODY WHO IS OF CONCERN ABOUT |
| 00:41:16 | THEIR HEALTH WILL HAVE AMPLE
TIME |
| 00:41:18 | TO VOTE BY MAIL
AND NOT HAVE TO COME IN CONTACT |
| 00:41:21 | WITH
ANOTHER PERSON SO THAT WE'RE NOT |
| 00:41:23 | PUTTING THAT CONFLICT
OF PEOPLE |
| 00:41:27 | WORRIED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH AND
THEIR |
| 00:41:28 | CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
AND AND JUST |
| 00:41:32 | ON THE THEME THAT THE GOVERNOR
MADE |
| 00:41:34 | ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE CONSTANTLY
CHANGING. |
| 00:41:38 | YOU KNOW, DAN JUST HANDED ME A
NOTE |
| 00:41:39 | THAT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IS
REPORTING THAT THE TRUMP |
| 00:41:42 | ADMINISTRATION IS RECOMMENDING
NO GATHERINGS OF MORE THAN 10 |
| 00:41:45 | PEOPLE.
AND SO WE NOT ONLY HAVE THIS, SO |
| 00:41:49 | WE HAVE THE CDC,
WE HAVE THIS NEW ADVICE THAT |
| 00:41:53 | WE KEEP GETTING, THE DECISIONS
THAT WE ARE MAKING ART, |
| 00:41:58 | YOU KNOW, IN LINE WITH WHERE
THE COUNTRY IS GOING ON THESE |
| 00:42:01 | ISSUES,
WE RECOGNIZE |
| 00:42:06 | THAT THE TIMING OF THIS DECISION
IS NOT IDEAL. |
| 00:42:10 | BUT I KNOW THAT
MY WIFE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING ON |
| 00:42:13 | SPRING BREAK THIS WEEK, SEVEN
DAYS |
| 00:42:14 | AGO.
RIGHT. THINGS CHANGE REALLY |
| 00:42:18 | QUICKLY
AS WE LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE |
| 00:42:20 | ISSUES.
AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE ALONG WITH |
| 00:42:23 | THEM TO RESPOND TO THE
TO THE THE REALLY |
| 00:42:27 | QUICKLY EVOLVING HEALTH, AND
SCIENCE ADVICE THAT WE'RE |
| 00:42:31 | GETTING.
WELL, IF I MAY. |
| 00:42:33 | CAN I ADD SOMETHING OTHER THAN
WHAT THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR |
| 00:42:37 | JUST
SAID IS, OF COURSE, INDICATIVE |
| 00:42:39 | OF
HOW QUICKLY THIS CHANGES, AS HE |
| 00:42:41 | SAID. AND JUST LAST NIGHT.
TO YOUR QUESTION, WE HAD A |
| 00:42:44 | CONVERSATION.
AND THE BASIC QUESTION THAT I |
| 00:42:48 | ASKED
DR. ACTON WAS, IS IT STILL-- ? |
| 00:42:50 | BECAUSE OUR OUR OUR BALANCE
ALL ALONG HAD BEEN IF WE CAN |
| 00:42:53 | HOLD AN
ELECTION THAT'S FREE AND FAIR, |
| 00:42:55 | BUT
ALSO HEALTHY FOR OHIOANS, THEN |
| 00:42:57 | WE
WOULD DO THAT. AND YOU DON'T |
| 00:42:59 | CHANGE
THOSE KIND OF THINGS UNLESS YOU |
| 00:43:00 | ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO.
AND SO UP UNTIL LAST NIGHT, |
| 00:43:03 | CDC, OHIO, DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH, ALL THE PUBLIC HEALTH |
| 00:43:06 | PROFESSIONALS THAT WE WERE
HEARING |
| 00:43:08 | FROM, INCLUDING IN THE OTHER
THREE |
| 00:43:09 | STATES THAT ARE CONDUCTING A
MARCH |
| 00:43:10 | 17TH PRIMARY, WE'RE ALL GETTING
UNANIMOUS ADVICE TO FOLLOW THE |
| 00:43:14 | INSTRUCTIONS. YOU CAN STILL
HOLD A |
| 00:43:15 | FAIR ELECTION AND A SAFE AND
HEALTHY |
| 00:43:17 | ELECTION. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE
WERE |
| 00:43:19 | MOVING FORWARD TO DO THAT.
AND OBVIOUSLY, AS OF THIS |
| 00:43:22 | MORNING, THAT ADVICE IS
CHANGING. |
| 00:43:23 | AND. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE
RESPONDED |
| 00:43:25 | TO THAT, TO CREATE THE CERTAINTY
NOW SO THAT OHIOANS CAN KNOW |
| 00:43:30 | THAT WE WILL HAVE AN ELECTION.
AND HOPEFULLY, AS LONG AS THE |
| 00:43:33 | JUDGE
AGREES WITH US, THAT WE'RE |
| 00:43:35 | PROPOSING
THIS TO THE JUNE 2ND WILL BE THE |
| 00:43:36 | DATE OF THAT.
WILL THERE BE |
| 00:43:48 | ENOUGH SIGNS?
LET ME LET ME JUST SAY, |
| 00:43:52 | I LEARNED AS A YOUNG ASSISTANT
PROSECUTOR THAT NOT TO A |
| 00:43:56 | GUESS WHAT JUDGES ARE GOING TO
DO. |
| 00:43:58 | BUT WE WE.
AND NOR TO PUT MYSELF IN THAT |
| 00:44:01 | POSITION.
SHE JUST DOES DO ONE THING. |
| 00:44:04 | WE DO OTHER THING.
I DO BELIEVE THAT IN THE |
| 00:44:10 | PETITION
THAT THERE WILL BE A STRONG |
| 00:44:11 | CASE MADE
THAT THIS THIS IS PROTECTS |
| 00:44:13 | PEOPLE'S
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. |
| 00:44:16 | I THINK. WHICH IS AUTOMATICALLY
THE |
| 00:44:18 | QUESTION AT HAND.
FRANK. |
| 00:44:22 | YEAH, HYPOTHETICALS AND TRYING
TO |
| 00:44:24 | PREDICT WHAT THE JUDGE IS GOING
TO |
| 00:44:25 | DO IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I'M
GOING |
| 00:44:26 | TO WANT TO GET INTO. BUT I WILL
SAY |
| 00:44:28 | THIS. I KNOW OHIO'S ELECTIONS
OFFICIALS. I'VE TRAVELED TO ALL |
| 00:44:31 | 88
OF THE BOARDS OF ELECTIONS JUST |
| 00:44:32 | LAST
YEAR. I'VE SEEN THEIR DEDICATION |
| 00:44:35 | AND THEIR PATRIOTISM
AND THEY ARE VERY FLEXIBLE |
| 00:44:39 | AND ADAPTABLE AND CREATIVE
WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING SURE |
| 00:44:43 | THAT
THEY CAN GET THEIR JOBS DONE. |
| 00:44:45 | AND SO IF THAT WAS
NECESSITATED, I |
| 00:44:46 | HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE PATRIOTIC
OHIO ELECTIONS OFFICIALS WOULD |
| 00:44:49 | GET
THAT JOB DONE. |
| 00:45:01 | WELL, MY UNDERSTANDING IS COMMON |
| 00:45:02 | PLEAS COURT,OF FRANKLIN COUNTY.
I WOULD ASSUME WE DON'T KNOW |
| 00:45:07 | WHO THE JUDGE WOULD BE,
OBVIOUSLY. |
| 00:45:09 | ONE WOULD ASSUME BECAUSE OF THE
IMPENDING ELECTION THAT THIS |
| 00:45:12 | DECISION WOULD BE MADE THE
VERY, VERY QUICKLY. |
| 00:45:16 | BUT AGAIN, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR
THEM |
| 00:45:18 | FOR THE JUDGE. |
| 00:45:28 | THE NATIONAL GUARD IS IS ALWAYS
AVAILABLE. |
| 00:45:32 | AND WHAT I'VE SAID IN THE PAST
IS |
| 00:45:34 | WHEN IT'S TIME, IF IT'S TIME
FOR THE |
| 00:45:36 | NATIONAL GUARD TO BE INVOLVED IN
ANYTHING, ANY |
| 00:45:39 | KIND OF EMERGENCY, THEN
CERTAINLY |
| 00:45:41 | THEY ARE WELL-PREPARED AND THEY
WILL |
| 00:45:43 | DO THAT. BUT WE'RE NOT.
WE HAD NO ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY |
| 00:45:47 | ABOUT THE NATIONAL GUARD AT ALL.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, |
| 00:46:02 | YOU KNOW THIS. THIS CAN CAN BE
ENFORCED. BUT |
| 00:46:06 | MOST YOU KNOW, WE HOPE THAT
OHIO ONES WILL FOLLOW THIS |
| 00:46:10 | ADVICE.
OBVIOUSLY, JUST AS |
| 00:46:15 | IN ANY OTHER LAW OR RULE,
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T ENFORCE IT |
| 00:46:20 | EVERY
TIME. |
| 00:46:21 | BUT WE HOPE THAT PEOPLE WILL
FOLLOW |
| 00:46:23 | THIS. AND I THINK, AGAIN,
THIS IS A CRISIS |
| 00:46:27 | THAT NO ONE ALIVE TODAY HAS
SEEN. |
| 00:46:29 | THERE'S NO AMERICAN.
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE |
| 00:46:32 | MAY BE SOMEBODY WHO IS
AROUND IN 1918, BUT THEY MAY |
| 00:46:36 | HAVE
BEEN PRETTY YOUNG. BUT WE |
| 00:46:38 | DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE WITH
THIS. |
| 00:46:40 | BUT IT'S A ONCE, YOU KNOW, ONCE
IN A |
| 00:46:42 | 100 YEAR CRISIS.
AND SO WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER. |
| 00:46:47 | I WAS JOKING A MOMENT AGO ABOUT
BEING INVADED. |
| 00:46:49 | BUT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN
INVADED. |
| 00:46:52 | AND WE HAVE TO TREAT THIS JUST
LIKE WE WOULD ANY HUGE, |
| 00:46:56 | HUGE NATIONAL CRISIS.
YEAH. |
| 00:47:08 | THANK YOU.
SO WE ARE YEAH. |
| 00:47:16 | SO THAT ALL THOSE CONVERSATIONS
ARE UNDER WAY RIGHT NOW |
| 00:47:20 | WITHIN OUR HEALTH ADVISORY
GROUP. |
| 00:47:23 | AND WE KNOW IT'S MOVING
THAT WAY. AND YOU'LL SEE |
| 00:47:26 | DIFFERENT
STATES DOING DIFFERENT LEVELS OF |
| 00:47:28 | THESE ALL AGAIN.
YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WE HAVE THE |
| 00:47:32 | SHORTAGE OF PPE AND WE KNOW KIND
OF DECREASES SURGE. |
| 00:47:37 | AGAIN, WE'RE SPREADING IT OUT
OVER |
| 00:47:39 | TIME SO THAT
WE CAN SERVE EVERYTHING FOR OUR |
| 00:47:43 | HOSPITALS.
AND AND THE MOST AT RISK |
| 00:47:46 | IN THE MOST SEX OR ANYTHING
THAT IS |
| 00:47:47 | ELECTIVE THAT YOU COULD CHOOSE
THAT |
| 00:47:49 | WOULDN'T PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK
TO POSTPONE WOULD BE THAT SORT |
| 00:47:53 | OF PROCEDURE.
YOU KNOW, THE DOG DENTAL |
| 00:47:56 | CLEANING,
FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING |
| 00:47:58 | AGAIN, EVERY SITUATION, EACH
CLINICIAN WILL BE MAKING THOSE |
| 00:48:01 | DECISIONS.
BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT CONSERVATION |
| 00:48:05 | AND IT'S ALL ABOUT THE STRESS
ON OUR |
| 00:48:07 | HEALTH CARE CAPACITY
AS WE'RE SEEING AROUND THE |
| 00:48:10 | WORLD.
SO WE'RE MOVING VERY QUICKLY |
| 00:48:12 | IN OHIO.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS A STOCKPILE |
| 00:48:15 | AND
AND AND WE HAVE SOME |
| 00:48:18 | RESERVES AND WE'LL BE GIVING YOU
MORE NUMBERS ON THAT AS WE TAKE |
| 00:48:21 | BETTER ASSESSMENTS OF WHAT WE
HAVE. |
| 00:48:22 | THAT WILL BE COMING THIS WEEK.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW |
| 00:48:26 | THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE LESSONS |
| 00:48:28 | WE'LL
HAVE OUT OUT OF THIS, AS OF MANY |
| 00:48:30 | LESSONS WE WILL LEARN ABOUT SO
MANY PARTS OF AND MANY BENEFITS |
| 00:48:34 | WE WILL SEE. AND THE THINGS WE
FIX |
| 00:48:36 | IS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT
RELIANCE ON PRODUCTION |
| 00:48:40 | AND SUPPLY CHAIN PUT US, YOU
KNOW, |
| 00:48:43 | IN A POSITION.
AND IN ANY PANDEMIC, THEY'VE |
| 00:48:45 | ALWAYS
PREDICTED THAT YOU WOULD HAVE |
| 00:48:47 | THESE
SHORTAGES. SO WE HAD PLANNED IN |
| 00:48:49 | OUR PLANS, WE
DO TABLE TOPS ON WHAT DO YOU DO |
| 00:48:52 | AND
YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH. |
| 00:48:54 | JUST LIKE IN A WAR.
AND SO OUR HOSPITALS HAVE |
| 00:48:57 | PREPARED
FOR THAT. |
| 00:48:58 | AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THOSE
DRILLS AND THEY'RE KIND OF |
| 00:49:00 | MAKING
THOSE ASSESSMENTS NOW TO |
| 00:49:02 | LIMIT WHAT THEY USE.
AND YOU'LL SEE SIMILAR |
| 00:49:05 | SHORTAGES OF
THINGS LIKE HAND SANITIZER AND |
| 00:49:08 | TOILET PAPER, EVEN IN HOSPITALS.
SO ALL OF THAT |
| 00:49:12 | IS BEING TROUBLE SHOT RIGHT NOW.
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU AT HOME, |
| 00:49:17 | SOAP AND WATER KILLS
EVERYTHING, EVEN, YOU KNOW, |
| 00:49:20 | EVEN IN
CLEANING. SO, YOU KNOW, WE WILL |
| 00:49:23 | DON'T PANIC IF YOU CAN'T FIND
WIPES, |
| 00:49:25 | YOU KNOW, SOAP AND WATER
PLENTIFUL. |
| 00:49:27 | I'VE SAID THAT BEFORE, BUT IT
JUST |
| 00:49:29 | IT'S SORT OF REASSURING TO
MYSELF TO |
| 00:49:30 | THINK ABOUT A BAR.
SOAP IS STILL BEING AVAILABLE |
| 00:49:33 | TO ALL OF US.
AND AND YOU'LL SEE A |
| 00:49:36 | LOT COMING IN THE DAYS ON THAT,
HOW SOMEBODY WOULD OBTAIN |
| 00:49:41 | AN ABSENTEE BALLOT.
COULD YOU WALK THROUGH THAT |
| 00:49:44 | PROCESS?
ABSOLUTELY. |
| 00:49:46 | THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT OHIO
HAS A STANDING |
| 00:49:50 | PERIOD OF EARLY VOTING AND
VOTE BY MAIL. SO OHIOANS ARE |
| 00:49:53 | ACCUSTOMED TO IT. IN FACT, WE
SAW |
| 00:49:54 | THIS YEAR INCREASED NUMBERS
OVER 2016 OF ADOPTION OF |
| 00:49:58 | EARLY VOTE AND VOTE BY MAIL.
AND SO MANY OHIOANS ARE FAMILIAR |
| 00:50:01 | WITH US. YOU VISIT VOTE OHIO DOT
GOV, WHICH IS OUR OFFICIAL |
| 00:50:05 | OHIO SECRETARY OF STATE WEBSITE.
YOU CAN PRINT OFF YOUR ABSENTEE |
| 00:50:09 | BALLOT REQUEST AND YOU CAN MAIL
IT |
| 00:50:10 | IN. AND I'D ENCOURAGE OHIOANS
TO DO |
| 00:50:12 | THAT. OF COURSE, THEY'RE ALSO
AVAILABLE AT OTHER LOCATIONS. |
| 00:50:15 | BUT VOTE OHIO DOT GOV IS THE
EASIEST |
| 00:50:17 | WAY TO DO THAT AND YOUR BOARD OF
ELECTIONS WILL HAVE THEM |
| 00:50:20 | AS WELL. AND THEN AGAIN, THOSE
WOULD |
| 00:50:22 | HAVE TO BE SENT IN PROMPTLY AND
THEN WE'D MAIL YOU YOUR ABSENTEE |
| 00:50:25 | BALLOT THAN YOU CAN RETURN THAT
BY |
| 00:50:27 | MAIL.
THAT'S CORRECT, EARLY VOTING. |
| 00:50:38 | THE EARLY VOTING PERIOD, WHICH
HAS |
| 00:50:39 | GONE ON FOR THE LAST FOUR WEEKS,
ENDED TODAY AT 2:00 P.M. |
| 00:50:43 | AND SO THE EARLY VOTING
PERIOD ENDED TODAY AT 2:00. |
| 00:50:47 | AND WHAT WE'RE DOING IS
OBVIOUSLY EXTENDING THE VOTE BY |
| 00:50:50 | MAIL
PERIOD AND THEN ENDING THAT |
| 00:50:52 | PERIOD
WITH A JUNE 2ND |
| 00:50:56 | IN-PERSON VOTING DAY.
AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE |
| 00:50:58 | TABULATION
WILL BE DONE THEN, TOO. |
| 00:50:59 | WE WOULDN'T BE DOING ANY
TABULATION |
| 00:51:00 | UNTIL AFTER THE POLLS CLOSE
ON JUNE 2ND |
| 00:51:05 | TO REVIEW SOCIAL DISTANCING.
AGAIN, FISCAL DECENCY. |
| 00:51:09 | AND ALSO, IS THERE ANY
INDICATION |
| 00:51:11 | IT'S WORKING? MAYBE IT'S TOO
SOON, |
| 00:51:13 | BUT GIVE US SOME HOPE.
ABSOLUTELY. |
| 00:51:15 | YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THIS IS
SOMETHING |
| 00:51:18 | THAT ACTUALLY HAS BEEN USED
BEFORE. |
| 00:51:20 | WE'VE USED IT AND OTHER SPREAD
OF |
| 00:51:21 | INFECTIOUS DISEASES, ESPECIALLY
DURING THE CONTAINMENT PHASE AS |
| 00:51:25 | WELL. BUT THE SOCIAL DISTANCING
MODEL IS REALLY BASED ON, |
| 00:51:29 | YOU KNOW, WHAT WE DISCOVERED AND
THINGS LIKE BIRD FLU, AND H1N1 |
| 00:51:32 | AND MERS AND SARS AND.
AND SO THIS THIS EACH TIME |
| 00:51:36 | WE'VE GONE THROUGH AN INFECTIOUS
DISEASE AND FOR VARIOUS |
| 00:51:39 | REASONS, WE
DID NOT GET TO YOU KNOW, THAT'S |
| 00:51:40 | A
WHOLE NOTHER LECTURE THERE. |
| 00:51:42 | WHY WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN
THOSE. |
| 00:51:46 | BUT BUT SOCIAL DISTANCING AS
HAS REALLY BEEN STUDIED. |
| 00:51:49 | AND AGAIN, I KEEP CALLING IT NOW
PHYSICAL DISTANCING. |
| 00:51:53 | BUT IT IS ABOUT THIS GROUP
SPREAD. |
| 00:51:55 | THERE'S A FABULOUS,
HUH? |
| 00:51:58 | WAS IT NEW YORK TIMES OR
WASHINGTON |
| 00:52:00 | WATCHING? THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR. |
| 00:52:03 | GUESS HE SENT IT TO ME LAST
NIGHT. |
| 00:52:04 | I WAS MESMERIZED BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN THESE |
| 00:52:08 | CONCEPTS.
THERE'S A WASHINGTON POST |
| 00:52:10 | GRAPHICS
THAT SHOWS THE SPREAD OF |
| 00:52:12 | INFECTIOUS
DISEASES. |
| 00:52:13 | AND IT IT'S IN MOTION.
SO YOU CAN WATCH WHAT ALL THE |
| 00:52:17 | DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOCIAL
DISTANCING |
| 00:52:19 | LOOK LIKE AND HOW
IT WAS TRIED IN CHINA AND WHAT |
| 00:52:22 | WORKED AND WHAT DIDN'T AND HOW
IT'S |
| 00:52:24 | BEEN USED IN OTHER COUNTRIES
AND HOW |
| 00:52:26 | QUICKLY WE IMPLEMENT IT HERE AND
WHAT DIFFERENCE THAT WILL MAKE. |
| 00:52:29 | AND IT REALLY WILL SHOW YOU DOT
BY |
| 00:52:31 | DOT, SORT OF WHEN I KEEP TALKING
ABOUT THIS LOGARITHMIC SPREAD OF |
| 00:52:34 | ONE PERSON TO 2.8 MORE
PEOPLE TO THOSE PEOPLE TO 2.8 |
| 00:52:39 | AND HOW THE MEASURES WE TAKE
SHRINK |
| 00:52:41 | THAT.
AND WHEN WE DON'T TAKE IT, HOW |
| 00:52:43 | IT
EXPANDS. SO I THINK THAT COULD |
| 00:52:44 | BE A
FASCINATING THINGSFOR THING |
| 00:52:46 | FOR FOLKS TO TAKE A LOOK AT, TO
UNDERSTAND IT. |
| 00:52:49 | BUT I'M SAYING FOR
MYSELF, YOU KNOW, THAT ARM'S |
| 00:52:52 | DISTANCE IS SPREAD BY, YOU KNOW,
JUST EVEN IN AIR AND BREATHING, |
| 00:52:55 | CERTAINLY BY RESPIRATORY
DROPLETS. |
| 00:52:58 | SO THAT SORT OF DISTANCE,
SIX FEET HAS BEEN SAID. |
| 00:53:02 | I KNOW SOMETIMES TO MAKE IT
QUICKER. |
| 00:53:04 | THEY SAID A METER, I THINK, IN
ITALY, WHICH WAS LIKE THREE |
| 00:53:08 | FEET.
BUT BUT THAT'S THE CONCEPT |
| 00:53:11 | OF US NOT INFECTING EACH OTHER.
BUT IT REALLY IS ABOUT US |
| 00:53:14 | LIMITING
THE EXPOSURE TO OTHER PEOPLE. |
| 00:53:17 | AND I THINK WE'LL SEE SOME
CREATIVE |
| 00:53:18 | THINGS.
I MEAN, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO MAKE |
| 00:53:20 | CHOICES.
AND I CAN IMAGINE A TIME WITH |
| 00:53:23 | LIKE
FAMILY CLUSTERS AND PEOPLE THAT |
| 00:53:25 | WERE
GOING TO CHOOSE LIKE I WAS WITH |
| 00:53:27 | I HAVE SIX KIDS
AND A GRANDCHILD. |
| 00:53:30 | SO ALSO, I FORGOT MY
DAUGHTER GAVE ME ALREADY. |
| 00:53:33 | SHE IS TWENTY THREE.
MATDDIES IS 23. |
| 00:53:35 | BUT, YOU KNOW,
WE ARE WE ARE TOGETHER AND WE'RE |
| 00:53:40 | DOING THINGS AS A FAMILY.
WE KNOW THAT WE'RE LIMITING THAT |
| 00:53:43 | RISK WITH EACH OTHER.
AND WE'RE KIND OF MAKING, YOU |
| 00:53:45 | KNOW,
A FEW PEOPLE IN OUR WORLD THAT |
| 00:53:47 | WE
ARE GOING TO HELP EACH OTHER |
| 00:53:48 | OUT.
THAT EXPOSES US, BUT IT KEEPS |
| 00:53:51 | IT LIMITED TO OUR GROUP.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE'D BE NOT |
| 00:53:53 | HAVING
YOUR KID BE IN ALL DIFFERENT |
| 00:53:54 | PLAYDATES AND DIFFERENT GROUPS.
BUT I CAN SEE NEIGHBORHOODS OR |
| 00:53:58 | GROUP
OF FRIENDS DOING THAT KIND OF |
| 00:54:00 | CHOICE
MAKING TOGETHER. |
| 00:54:01 | IT'S COMPLICATED WITH EACH
LIFE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. |
| 00:54:17 | WELL, REMEMBER, DON'T DOUBT, I
MEAN, |
| 00:54:19 | AGAIN, IF I DO THIS RIGHT AND
THIS |
| 00:54:21 | CAME UP RECENTLY AND I THINK DR.
FAUCI SAID IT AS WELL. |
| 00:54:25 | LIKE IF WE DO THIS WELL, LIKE
EVERYTHING OUT ELSE AND PUBLIC |
| 00:54:28 | HEALTH WHEN WE KNOCK IT OUT OF
THE |
| 00:54:29 | PARK.
LOOK, YOU KNOW, NOBODY KNOWS IT |
| 00:54:32 | BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE.
AND WE MIGHT HAVE GREAT SUCCESS. |
| 00:54:35 | AND I HOPE, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT
WE |
| 00:54:37 | MOVE THIS. BUT WE ARE GOING TO
SEE |
| 00:54:38 | THIS SURGE.
I MEAN, I DON'T THINK ANYONE |
| 00:54:40 | WOULD
DOUBT, YOU KNOW, CANADA |
| 00:54:42 | WITH THE CHOICES THEY JUST MADE
WITH |
| 00:54:44 | THEIR BORDERS. YOU KNOW, THIS IS
HAPPENING. |
| 00:54:47 | AND I THINK THERE WAS
SOME DATA I'VE SEEN |
| 00:54:51 | WITH A PRETTY SHARP IF YOU JUST
LOOK AT THE CASES OVER |
| 00:54:55 | IN THE UNITED STATES
COLLECTIVELY |
| 00:54:56 | AGAINST EACH COMMUNITY WILL BE
DIFFERENT. |
| 00:54:59 | I EXPECT WE'LL SEE SURGES,
MULTIPLE SHOEHORNS, BUT |
| 00:55:03 | THEY'LL HAPPEN AT DIFFERENT
TIMES. |
| 00:55:06 | WE WITH THE BENEFIT IN OHIO
AND THE BENEFIT OF WATCHING |
| 00:55:10 | WHAT'S
UNFOLDING, HAVE MOVED |
| 00:55:13 | TO ACT NOW.
AND I DEFINITELY SAY TO MY |
| 00:55:15 | FELLOW
STATES, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT |
| 00:55:18 | YOU'RE NOT SEEING IT RIGHT NOW
OR MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH |
| 00:55:21 | TESTING TO DETECT IT, ASSUME
IT IS HERE AND ASSUME IT IS |
| 00:55:24 | AMONGST
US IF THAT MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN |
| 00:55:26 | MADE
CLEAR TO YOU YET. |
| 00:55:28 | WE ARE ON UPSLOPE
HOW FAR THIS WILL GO, THAT |
| 00:55:32 | THE RATE OF THAT CURVE WILL
WILL VARY A LOT. |
| 00:55:36 | WHAT WE DO AND JUST THE UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH COMMUNITY |
| 00:55:39 | AND HOW THAT SPREAD OCCURRED.
BUT WE KNOW YOU ASSUME |
| 00:55:44 | COMMUNITIES
ARE SEATED |
| 00:55:46 | AND WE HAVE TO JUST ASSUME
THAT ANY ONE OF US, YOU KNOW, |
| 00:55:51 | FIVE DAYS FROM NOW, 14 DAYS
FROM NOW, MIGHT BE SICK WITH IT. |
| 00:55:54 | SO THE SCIENCE
WILL SHOW AND THIS WILL MAKE A |
| 00:55:58 | LOT OF SENSE IN RETROSPECT,
OF COURSE. |
| 00:56:01 | BUT THERE'S ALREADY DATA
SHOWING IN |
| 00:56:02 | THE UNITED STATES, YOU CAN SEE A
VERY SHARP UPTICK. |
| 00:56:05 | AND WE SHOULD EXPECT THAT WITH
THE |
| 00:56:06 | DOUBLING TIMES THAT WE KNOW,
IT'S |
| 00:56:08 | ALSO POSSIBLE HOSPITALIZED
UNTOLD STORY ROOMS. |
| 00:56:12 | THOSE PEOPLE ARE.
I'M SORRY, I CAN'T GIVE YOU |
| 00:56:14 | THOSE
SPECIFICS. |
| 00:56:16 | LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AS
THEY GET |
| 00:56:17 | THAT DATA.
IT'S TOUGH RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE |
| 00:56:20 | ARE
GETTING A CLASS, A REPORTABLE |
| 00:56:22 | DISEASE.
SO WE SHOULD BE GETTING THAT |
| 00:56:24 | DATA,
YOU KNOW, RIGHT AWAY. |
| 00:56:26 | BUT SO MUCH IS HAPPENING ON THE
GROUND SO QUICKLY. |
| 00:56:29 | I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE A
COUPLE |
| 00:56:30 | OF DAYS FOR US TO EVEN CATCH UP
WITH |
| 00:56:32 | THE AMOUNT OF TESTING.
WE HAVE PRIVATE LABS WITH |
| 00:56:35 | MULTIPLE
MEDICAL CENTERS. |
| 00:56:36 | RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE DRIVE
THROUGH |
| 00:56:38 | TESTING. OUR LAB IS RUNNING
THREE |
| 00:56:39 | SHIFTS RIGHT NOW.
AND TO BE EFFICIENT FOR |
| 00:56:44 | THE MEDIA, WE'RE SAYING ARE
USUAL, |
| 00:56:46 | LIKE 2:00 P.M., WE'LL GIVE YOU
WHAT |
| 00:56:47 | WE KNOW.
BUT, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW MORE |
| 00:56:49 | RESULTS ARE COMING AND MORE
RESULTS |
| 00:56:50 | ARE COMING IN.
SO I THINK THE LOCALS KNOW THOSE |
| 00:56:53 | STORIES. WE DON'T GIVE OUT A LOT
OF INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION |
| 00:56:57 | TO PROTECT PEOPLE'S PRIVACY.
BUT I'LL TRY TO SEE WHAT MORE I |
| 00:57:01 | CAN
GATHER. AGAIN, 14, THOSE WERE |
| 00:57:03 | THE
THINGS THAT ALARMED ME TODAY. |
| 00:57:05 | 14 HOSPITALIZED.
AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I'VE SAID |
| 00:57:09 | TO
YOU FROM THE DATA WE HAVE, YOU |
| 00:57:12 | KNOW, EVEN A 40 TO 50 YEAR OLD,
ONE |
| 00:57:13 | IN TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY IS A
CASE |
| 00:57:15 | OF FATALITY RATIO RIGHT NOW.
IT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL |
| 00:57:20 | TAKE
VERY SERIOUSLY. |
| 00:57:21 | AND WE KNOW THE HEALTH OF
OHIOANS, |
| 00:57:24 | YOU KNOW, ON A GOOD DAY.
MANY OF US HERE HAVE HEALTH |
| 00:57:27 | RISKS
THAT WE ARE LIVING WITH AND WE |
| 00:57:29 | HAVE
TO TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. |
| 00:57:31 | ALL OF US, NO MATTER YOUR AGE.
ARE ARE WE ABLE TO HAVE MORE |
| 00:57:41 | TESTING? YEAH, MORE HOSPITALS
ARE |
| 00:57:42 | COMING ONLINE ALL THE TIME.
AND IN OUR DRIVE TO CAPACITY, |
| 00:57:47 | YOU'LL BE HEARING TOMORROW A LOT
MORE DETAIL ABOUT THIS. |
| 00:57:50 | THE PRESIDENT AND VISE PRESIDENT
JUST TALKED A LOT ABOUT PODS. |
| 00:57:53 | YOU'RE GOING TO START HEARING
ABOUT |
| 00:57:55 | HAUSE. BUT BASICALLY, THAT'S A
LOT |
| 00:57:57 | LIKE DRIVE UP TESTING.
THEY'LL REMEMBER IT'S SO |
| 00:58:00 | IMPORTANT
FOR PEOPLE AT HOME. |
| 00:58:02 | PLEASE HEAR ME ON THIS.
THERE ISN'T. |
| 00:58:05 | THIS ISN'T FOR EVERYONE.
WE ARE PRIORITIZING MOST HIGH |
| 00:58:08 | RISK
FOR PEOPLE WITH PREEXISTING |
| 00:58:10 | CONDITIONS.
HEALTH CARE WORKERS, |
| 00:58:13 | FRONTLINE RESPONDERS,
THE ELDERLY, THE MOST AT RISK. |
| 00:58:18 | MOST DOCTORS ARE GOING TO TALK
TO |
| 00:58:20 | PATIENTS AND PEOPLE LIKE ME
WILL BE |
| 00:58:21 | TOLD.
LET'S ASSUME YOU HAVE IT. |
| 00:58:24 | AND HAVE YOU STAY AT HOME IN
QUARANTINE OR SELF ISOLATE IN |
| 00:58:27 | THAT
CASE BECAUSE YOU'RE SICK? |
| 00:58:28 | PROBABLY IF YOU'VE CALLED YOUR
DOCTOR AND WE'RE NOT GOING |
| 00:58:31 | TO TEST YOU BECAUSE THERE
ISN'T. I MEAN, PLEASE DON'T BE |
| 00:58:34 | FOOLED BY THE FACT THAT IT'S
DRIVE |
| 00:58:36 | UP MCDONALD'S TESTING.
THAT IS NOT TRUE. |
| 00:58:38 | YOU'LL BE REFERRED FROM A
DOCTOR, |
| 00:58:40 | WHICH IS ABOUT HAVING A SITE
WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE TESTED |
| 00:58:43 | WITHOUT
GOING IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM |
| 00:58:46 | AND PUTTING THE WHOLE STAFF
IN THE HOSPITAL, IN THE WAITING |
| 00:58:49 | ROOM
AT RISK. SO THAT IS BUILDING |
| 00:58:51 | UP BY THE END OF THIS WEEK.
WE'LL HAVE A WHOLE STORY TO TELL |
| 00:58:54 | THAT WAS DIFFERENT THAN TODAY.
AND THAT WILL KEEP RAMPING UP. |
| 00:58:58 | BUT AGAIN, WE
DON'T EVEN NEED THAT TESTING |
| 00:59:01 | TO KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO.
LASTLY, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT |
| 00:59:06 | THE FACT THAT WE'VE ACTED MORE
AGGRESSIVELY THAN MANY STATES? |
| 00:59:09 | AND THE FACT THAT
AT LEAST THREE |
| 00:59:13 | STATES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO
HAVE PRIMARIES TOMORROW. |
| 00:59:22 | WELL, I'LL LET DOCTOR,ACTON DO
THAT. |
| 00:59:24 | BUT LOOK,
EVERY GOVERNOR IS DOING THE BEST |
| 00:59:28 | HE CAN OR SHE CAN.
EVERYONE IS MAKING THEIR OWN |
| 00:59:33 | CALLS.
THIS IS OUR CALL. |
| 00:59:34 | I'VE EXPLAINED WHY WE'VE MADE
IT, |
| 00:59:37 | BUT WE DO. YOU KNOW, WE GO BACK
AND |
| 00:59:39 | FORTH.
WE'RE ON CONFERENCE CALLS. |
| 00:59:41 | I HAVE A CONFERENCE CALL
TONIGHT. |
| 00:59:42 | SO THE INFORMATION IS GOING
BACK, |
| 00:59:44 | BACK AND FORTH.
I DID NOT TALK WITH ANY OTHER |
| 00:59:47 | GOVERNOR ABOUT THIS.
I DON'T WANT TO INFER THAT. |
| 00:59:50 | BUT WE ARE CERTAINLY
ARE SHARING INFORMATION. |
| 00:59:53 | AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY
HAS TO MAKE THEIR OWN CALL. |
| 00:59:57 | AND WHAT THEY THINK IS IS
IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. |
| 01:00:00 | AND I GOT TO TELL YOU, YOU KNOW,
THIS IS A TIME WHEN EVERY |
| 01:00:05 | GOVERNOR UNDERSTANDS
THE GRAVITY OF WHAT |
| 01:00:08 | WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW. |
| 01:00:17 | THANK YOU.
AND YOU KNOW. |
| 01:00:22 | WE ARE REALLY ALL
LOCKSTEP. |
| 01:00:25 | I MEAN, I'M TALKING TO MY FELLOW
COLLEAGUES IN OTHER STATES. |
| 01:00:29 | THE GOVERNORS ARE ALL TALKING TO
EACH OTHER. |
| 01:00:32 | EACH STATE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT
IN |
| 01:00:33 | WHAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
EACH TIME THEY MAKE ONE OF THESE |
| 01:00:35 | DECISIONS.
BUT WE'RE FOLLOWING WHAT THE |
| 01:00:38 | SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING.
YOU KNOW, LISTEN TO WHAT DR. |
| 01:00:41 | FAUCI
SAID. |
| 01:00:42 | LISTEN TO WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS
NOW |
| 01:00:44 | SAYING.
LISTEN TO, YOU KNOW, DR. |
| 01:00:47 | GOTTLIEB.
OTHERS WHO ARE ALL AROUND. |
| 01:00:49 | THE BEST SCIENTISTS, THE BEST
MODELERS. |
| 01:00:51 | WE ARE ALL FOLLOWING THAT
ADVICE. |
| 01:00:53 | IT'S A PLAYBOOK WE ALREADY HAD
IN |
| 01:00:55 | SOME WAYS.
I KNOW PEOPLE THINK I'M BEING |
| 01:00:57 | SUPER
PREDICTIVE, BUT |
| 01:00:59 | IT'S ALL PREDICTABLE.
IT'S IMPERFECTLY PREDICTABLE. |
| 01:01:03 | AND WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS
EVERYONE |
| 01:01:05 | IS MOVING INTO THIS SPACE AS
QUICKLY |
| 01:01:07 | AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN.
AND I CAN'T SPEAK TO ALL THE |
| 01:01:11 | MESSAGING IN THE BEGINNING THAT
FOLKS RECEIVED. |
| 01:01:14 | BUT I CAN TELL YOU THE MESSAGE
IS |
| 01:01:16 | VERY CLEAR NOW.
AND EVERYONE THIS COUNTRY NEEDS |
| 01:01:19 | TO MOVE AND THEY'RE MOVING
AGGRESSIVELY TO TAKE THESE NON |
| 01:01:22 | PHARMACOLOGIC INTERVENTIONS.
WE'RE BLESSED TO HAVE THAT |
| 01:01:29 | MOMENT.
CAN I JUST QUICKLY RESPOND TO |
| 01:01:31 | THE
PART OF THE QUESTION ABOUT |
| 01:01:33 | WORKING WITH OTHER STATES AND
THE |
| 01:01:35 | OTHER THREE STATES THAT ARE
HAVING |
| 01:01:36 | AN ELECTION?
I HAVE TALKED WITH SECRETARY LEE |
| 01:01:39 | IN FLORIDA SECRETARY HOBBS
IN ARIZONA, AS WELL AS THE |
| 01:01:43 | TEAM AT THE ILLINOIS STATE BOARD
OF ELECTIONS. |
| 01:01:47 | THEY'LL MAKE THEIR DECISIONS
BASED |
| 01:01:49 | ON THE FACTS THAT ARE PRESENTED
BY |
| 01:01:50 | THEIR PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS.
WE'VE BEEN TELLING OUR TEAMS ALL |
| 01:01:53 | ALONG THIS IS ABOUT FACTS, NOT
FEAR. |
| 01:01:56 | AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE BEEN
RESPONDING |
| 01:01:58 | TO THE GUIDANCE OF OUR OHIO
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE CDC |
| 01:02:01 | ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE
GROUND |
| 01:02:02 | IN OHIO.
THAT'S WHY LAST NIGHT WE |
| 01:02:05 | THOUGHT IT
WAS SAFE TO CONDUCT ELECTION. |
| 01:02:06 | THAT'S WHY TODAY WE KNEW THAT
IT WAS |
| 01:02:08 | NOT. AND SO THOSE
COLLEAGUES IN THOSE STATES WILL |
| 01:02:11 | MAKE
THE BEST CHOICES THEY CAN BASED |
| 01:02:12 | ON
THE FACTS ON THE GROUND THERE. |
| 01:02:14 | AND I WANT TO MENTION THE WEB
SITE |
| 01:02:16 | THAT WE HAVE VOTE OHIO DOT GOV
SLASH |
| 01:02:18 | CORONA FACTS.
IF ANYBODY IS LOOKING FOR MORE |
| 01:02:21 | INFORMATION ABOUT EXACTLY HOW WE
WILL PROCEED CONDUCTING A FAIR |
| 01:02:24 | AND A HEALTHY ELECTION FOR OHIO.
THEY'LL BE POSTED THAT VOTE |
| 01:02:27 | OHIO DOT
GOV SLASH CORONA FACTS. |
| 01:02:32 | ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS
FOR OUR VIEWERS WERE SAYING THE |
| 01:02:35 | STATE IS NOT SEEING THE
GOVERNOR'S |
| 01:02:36 | REQUERST FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS. |
| 01:02:38 | IS EVERYONE ON BOARD ABOUT THAT?
WELL, |
| 01:02:45 | LOOK, EVERY DAY WE MAKE
DIFFERENT DECISIONS EVERY |
| 01:02:49 | DAY. WE ARE PEOPLE WHO NEED TO
IMPLEMENT IT. |
| 01:02:54 | THEY'RE MOVING.
MOVING AS FAST AS THEY CAN MOVE. |
| 01:02:57 | WHEN WE MAKE A DECISION, WE
ANNOUNCE |
| 01:02:58 | THAT DECISION.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT |
| 01:03:00 | WE'RE
GOING TO DO. |
| 01:03:02 | JOHN, DO YOU WANT TO ADD
ANYTHING TO |
| 01:03:03 | THAT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR
DECISION? |
| 01:03:06 | I GUESS IT'S
A VERY GENERAL QUESTION. |
| 01:03:09 | SO I'LL GIVE YOU A GENERAL
ANSWER. |
| 01:03:26 | I CAN'T ANSWER FOR WHY ANYBODY
WOULD |
| 01:03:28 | HAVE RESPONDED LIKE THAT.
ON A PHONE CALL. |
| 01:03:32 | EARLIER IN THE NEWS CONFERENCE,
I GAVE YOU THE WEB SITE. |
| 01:03:35 | WE ARE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE WHO
HAVE |
| 01:03:38 | WEB ACCESS TO GO AND DO THAT.
THAT WILL HELP SPEED UP THE |
| 01:03:42 | PROCESS.
BUT AN INDIVIDUAL |
| 01:03:44 | CALLER MIGHT JUST
KNOW THAT BASED ON THIS NEWS |
| 01:03:48 | CONFERENCE, THAT THEY GAVE THE
WRONG |
| 01:03:49 | ANSWER.
LOOK, |
| 01:04:04 | AS DR. ACTON SAID YESTERDAY
OR THE DAY BEFORE, WE'RE TRYING |
| 01:04:07 | TO
GET THE BIG ONES OUT OF THE WAY. |
| 01:04:08 | WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE MOST WE
CAN |
| 01:04:10 | GET.
WE CAN'T MICROMANAGE EVERYTHING |
| 01:04:13 | OF PEOPLE'S LIVES, NOR SHOULD
WE. |
| 01:04:16 | WE'LL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE.
WE'LL CONTINUE, FRANKLY, TO |
| 01:04:19 | LISTEN
TO MAYORS AND COUNTY |
| 01:04:21 | COMMISSIONERS
AND OTHERS WHO ARE SEEN THINGS |
| 01:04:23 | OUT
IN THE FIELD. WE'RE GOING TO |
| 01:04:24 | LISTEN
TO THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. |
| 01:04:25 | WE HAD A GOOD CALL THIS MORNING
WITH A GOOD CALL AND A GUARD TO |
| 01:04:29 | OUR
MAYORS. |
| 01:04:30 | SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
LOOK |
| 01:04:31 | AT THESE. BUT ULTIMATELY,
PEOPLE NEED OUR MESSAGE, MAIN |
| 01:04:35 | MESSAGE TODAY THAT PEOPLE NEED
TO BE |
| 01:04:37 | CAREFUL. THEY NEED TO TAKE
CONTROL. |
| 01:04:39 | THEY NEED DO EVERYTHING THEY
CAN TO |
| 01:04:41 | TO AVOID THIS AND TO AVOID BEING
A A SPREADER OF THIS. |
| 01:04:45 | PRESIDENT IS REPORTEDLY TELLING
STATES TO PREPARE THEIR OWN |
| 01:04:48 | RESPIRATORS AND VENTILATORS.
IS OHIO PREPARED WITH ENOUGH |
| 01:04:52 | EQUIPMENT IF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT |
| 01:04:53 | DOESN'T COME THROUGH TO HELP?
LOOK, WE WILL ADDRESS THAT |
| 01:04:59 | TOMORROW
IN AN OVERALL HEALTH CARE |
| 01:05:01 | THING, AND
I'LL GIVE YOU THOSE NUMBERS AND |
| 01:05:02 | WHAT
WE HAVE. |
| 01:05:04 | WE HAVE A GOOD SUPPLY.
WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT KNOWS |
| 01:05:06 | WHAT WE
HAVE AND WE DO HAVE SOME |
| 01:05:08 | STOCKPILE.
BUT I GAVE SOME NUMBERS ABOUT |
| 01:05:10 | TWO
DAYS AGO ABOUT THE NATIONAL |
| 01:05:13 | NUMBERS OF WHAT'S AVAILABLE.
SO YOU MIGHT CHECK THAT AS WELL. |
| 01:05:16 | THANK YOU. YOU SAID JUST JUST TO
CONCLUDE ON THAT. |
| 01:05:19 | LOOK, THIS IS WHY WE'RE
DOING THESE ACTIONS. |
| 01:05:23 | ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE DOING
THESE |
| 01:05:24 | ACTIONS IS WE KNOW THERE'S ONLY
A LIMITED SUPPLY. |
| 01:05:27 | AND SO WE HAVE TO KNOCK THIS
CURVE |
| 01:05:29 | DOWN. AND WE HAVE TO NOT HAVE
THAT HUGE SPIKE. |
| 01:05:32 | THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE
DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT WE |
| 01:05:36 | KEEP DOING. SO THANK YOU ALL
VERY |
| 01:05:37 | MUCH.
WE'LL SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW. |
