during the covid-19 crisis, i.c.e. and its potential partners have worked together to reduce the number of individuals in custody. they have taken measures that go beyond c.d.c. guidance to adapt to the new safety protocols and cleaning procedures. they have also provided safe accommodations for those with final removal orders or criminal convictions, whose release would endanger other communities. the border crisis and covid-19 crisis are two sides of the same coin. i question how the majority can continue to neglect its duty to to fund i.c.e. last year and again this year. its lackr crisis and of funding for sure -- foreshadow the covid-19 crisis. willfully underfunding i.c.e. to make a political point will have profound impacts on migrants drawn here by a broken immigration system. failing to invest in agencies that enforce our immigration laws has brought consequences. i hope the majority will realize their continued efforts to defend i.c.e. have lasting consequences, -- to defund i.c.e. have lasting consequences ,

from covid-19 in nursing homes. the integrity of the data is not clear because michigan is one of the last states to report the data. they were the third to last date based on our work. they also have had a big outbreak overall. 3% of all people in long-term facilities have died from covid-19, one of the highest in the country. it is a real problem. what concerns me about michigan is that michigan refused for many weeks to disclose the nursing home vitality data until they were forced a nursing home to report that data. week or weeky the and a half ago that michigan , but itving that data was underreported. what can be done to address data shortcomings coming forward to ensure we have the best information to make crucial policy decisions. nursing homes are required to report fatalities to the federal government. andonly starts on may 5, only applies to nursing homes and not assisted living medically for less vulnerable seniors. we will not get complete data, but that will help. the lives ofotect people living in the

as the committee considers covid- covid-19's esecretaries on social security, it should be mindful of the pandemic still requires deliberate, targeted but temporary efforts to regain the country's economic footing. i want to emphasize the ways in which the help of the workforce and the help of social security are linked. first, downturns tend to increase dependence on social programs at a time when revenues fall. this presents dual pressures on solvency. in the case of social security, which relies on unemployment taxes, the scenario can be more worrisome. yesterday we got new unemployment claims which showed 32 million people are still claiming some form of unemployment support, which means tens of millions of workers not paying social security taxes. removing barrier for getting workers back to work then is key, both for the financial health of social security and the financial health of workers. data suggests that income has risen twice as fast as it has over the last 40 years. secondly, the employment downturn affects the calculation benefits as we have heard through social securi

you can still transmit covid 19 without symptoms. even if people have gotten a negative test recently, that doesn't mean they are negative that day. we have seen increases in covid 19 precisely because people are gathering more. this is a critical time for all of us to come together as one community. take the precautions as we have asked for many weeks now. we can all do our part. ask your health care provider for a test. if you have symptoms, have been instructed by a contact tracer or at higher risk for exposure because of your living or working continues. let's show the world that san francisco can flatten the curve again and resume our ohmings ops together. thank you. >> : thank you madam mayor, and thank you doctor for your time. today we have a few health care and testing related questions for director c olfax. thank you director the first set of questions are from michelle king. is san francisco going to start fining people for not wearing masks. will they set up a test line. >> : we're looking for ways to increase enforcement

seniors are bearing the brunt of the covid-19 pandemic. people over 65 account for just 18% of coronavirus infections, but they make up 80% of the deaths. nursing homes, where 1.3 million seniors living, and systemic racism has put seniors of color at even greater risk of catching and dying from covid-19. we're nowhere near controlling this pandemic. public health officials are reporting tens of thousands of new cases and hundreds of deaths every day. congress must act fast, really fast, to protect our seniors and contain this virus. we need to ramp up testing and we need to create a national contact tracing program and stabilize our supply chain and need better data to ensure communities of color are getting the covid-19 resources that they need. let me start with you, mr. woods, in your testimony you talk about how atrium health developed a covid-19 dashboard to track cases and deaths in real time. all of this data was stratified by race and ethnicity as well as additional factors like geography. so, mr. woods, what did the data reveal a

and you can get covid-19 right after you test. so don't think that just because you test negative, you can get it from people that you hangout with or you can transmit it back to older people in your household. we continue to emphasize wearing face coverings, 6 feet of social distancing, and washing your hands. the frequency, the more people go out, the more they are putting themselves and their loved ones at risk. the duration, the longer people spend time together, the more risk it is for transmission, and then, the distance. this is why we are focused on the social distancing and the importance of that going forward. next slide. and then, i did want to talk a little bit about hope going forward, and talk about vaccines are being looked at and developed, and unfortunately, there's not likely to be any vaccines soon. key experts estimate it could be 12 to 18 months before a vaccine is widely available. that's very different from saying a vaccine is going to be available in six months to a year. but i'm hopeful, according to mayor

those are related to covid-19. fifteen, not 15000, 15. how many medical malpractice cases have been filed in united states of america mentioning covid-19 is one of the elements what would you guess in this tsunami of lawsuits? how many doctors, nurses, hospitals have been sued across united states of america? six. when it came to the 15 lawsuits 11 involved cruise ships does that tell like an outrageous number when you consider the thousands of people who were marooned at sea on those crew ships which were floating petri dishes for the covid virus? sixty-nine unsafe workplace lawsuits, 69 across the united states. will let me tell you, the numbers tell the story. there is no sued nami, there's no flood, what senator mcconnell's trying to do is capitalize on this moment of insurgency in america. to close down the responsibility of businesses, to make certain they do everything reasonably possible to protect their customers and their employees. that is what it comes down to. twenty-eight states have already passed legislation. they want to

the covid patients are challenging because you have to place them in a covid unit. if you have a result back quickly enough to know they have covid, it's doable. one of the issues we're having is that we are running out of the rapid tests so when you do a test, if your result takes many hours or days to come back in a hospital setting, you don't know where to put the patient. the patient you think might have covid is sitting in the emergency department or waiting to get placed and non-covid patients coming in with gallbladder disease or heart attack, they're waiting and that's a concern. >> that's a concern because of the ramifications of covid-19 spreading through the hospital. how are you and the other doctors and nurses coping with all of this, with the level of hospitalizations? >> it's funny you should ask that because i was feeling kind of rough today. i got nervous and i was saying, am i picking up something or am i fatigued? we know we're in a high risk environment but we know that's what we signed up for. what's particularly rough and demoralizing, you go h

patients thatof need surgery outside of covid. covid is not the only disease in miami. many people have been deferred for too long and now have become emergency patients. this is a tough balance we are dealing with today. we focus every day on our employees and the employees are focusing on the patients the best they can do. but i will tell you, the mayor joined me in the 4:00 meeting today with all the hospital ceos from south florida. we are all going through the our balance of balancing census while bringing in more covid patients. we can do that for a certain time. we cannot do that forever. the message when you hear the governor and the mayor, we need to be wearing masks, that is absolute answer, it's not where we should shut everything down, the issue is enforcement. if we can get everyone to be socially distant and wear a mask, that's only way we will be able to reduce the number being in hospitals and being able to deal with the entire disease and reduce the death happening in our community. that is all i have to say, thank you very much and we will leave it up

this is a sense that it doesn't seem to matter if you get covid, i read about covid parties, but that's just ridiculous to think this isn't a serious disease. it can affect any of us. it is more likely to affect older people, more likely to kill people who are older with a pre-existing condition. at the same time, young people can also contract it and there are long-term consequences of having the disease. so really it is a matter of saying what can we do as individuals and what can we do as authorities. and so for individuals, it is remembering social distancing, remember social hygiene and i would advise face covering from mask wearing and for the states, they need to think about what lockdown measures should be in place to stop the spread of disease. it seems to be increasing, increasing, increasing. and we had -- as we head toward winter, we add in flu and the -- population is poor. >> we also now have seen this new development from the cdc which estimates 40% of people infected don't have any symptoms. how does that complicate the situation? >> it means that if -- you don't feel un

look at the spike in covid hospitalizations. covid. coronavirus. not elective surgery. less than 2,000 in early april, nearly 10,000 now. that is not elective surgery. hospitals are strained in many places, and states being hold they may need to shut down again. yet the president disagrees with dr. fauci when dr. fauci says the united states is knee deep in the crisis. i talked to the doctor who helped eradicate smallpox and he told me that fauci who is conservative did not go far enough with this one. >> we're not knee deep. we're hip deep and we'll soon be neck deep. >> the president just denies that. he wants you to think -- and you heard him at the beginning. i was going to get back to this -- that the whole reason we're seeing this increase in cases is because we are testing more people. he keeps saying that. those of you who are tempted to believe him, let me explain why this is wrong. first of all he said today the reason we have so many cases is because our testing is much bigger and better. well, for the 100th time, this is false. it is not because of testing.

pre covid, i spent my time on this, and these adverse health outcomes from covid-19 exposure. one thing that's not going to happen. covid is not going to magically go away. we are going to be living with covid for a long period of time and there's no indication that the problems are less problematic for people who are exposed to covid. using that rational, we need to continue to support research that prevents the development of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, that are predisposing to worse outcomes. we need to provide strategies for managing those conditions. in my testimony i mentioned the use of telehealth and telemedicine, particularly via video. i think this is critical because older adults may find themselves skipping their maintenance visits and the opportunity to be on a call for better yet, a video call with their physician to make sure that they are managing their chronic condition, it's going to be critical throughout this and protect them from developing the worst outcomes. and the work that you've done for th

there has been a tendency sometimes in dealing with the seriousness of covid-19 to look only at covid-19 and not in the context of dealing with covid-19 but other impacts of lockdowns and shutdowns. can you speak to the other health implications we are seeing? >> i've seen an increase in the number of suicides and mental health effects, delays in basic essential treatment including other vaccines. we've seen delays in cancer treatment, basic essential treatments have been avoided i suspect over the long haul we will find a big increase of other health problems as a result of the lockdown. >> time for one more question. i know you're a real scientist, not a political scientist but there's been a lot of discussion about the politicization of getting a vaccine sooner rather than later, assuredly there would be a political benefit to saving lives sooner than later. do you think there's potentially incentive for some to delay the process? >> i would hope not. i am definitely - i would hope people come together and say visit the data and see about the effective vaccine. >> i agree. >> we lo

our sole adversary is covid-19. so, my question is, is astrazeneca coordinating with other companies on this production and procurement of vital supplies, or, will you be competing against each other for them? >> thank you for the question, congressman. so, i think, first of all, we are all using such a different technologies so we are not necessarily competing to the same row materials and so i think that is a benefit. i would say, from astrazeneca's perspective, we have created our supply chains in a way that they are not competing with each other so we have a supply chain in the united states, is pledging for the uk, supply came for europe, and the supply chain for the international region. as a calm sequence, are protected from one another and we are making sure that each one -- of our supply chain in united states, we are working with our own facilities, such as emergent and mris so we feel confident in the quality of strength of our supply chain. >> thank you, and as i mentioned, this past spring, it was chaos
