With a lot of our next generation generation calling better world that we were supposed have created many generations ago, I was listening to one US senator and talk he says. we have be courageous in our compassion and I thought thought about that a little bit because we've about compassion a lot Kentucky related to the Corona virus. That's why we have ensured that we have been healthy at home. That's why we've lit up our homes and places of business and all types of facilities, Green more so and unit. Compassion and I think I've ever ever in this state. Well, it's gonna gonna take that same type of compassion for our fellow human being recognizing that we still have a systematic racism in just just part of our society and that same compassion to say it's unacceptable and it's time for it to change. The marches that have been on in Louisville certainly the last several nights if not more have been very peaceful because of that neither the K S P or the National Guard are stationed in Louisville any longer KSP ended engagement. Saturday and the guard had only been on standby for a number of days and while those. Are no longer stationed in Louisville. calls for Justice obviously continue and we need to listen so today we're gonna talk about efforts that this administration is going to take to create a quality and to to start addressing some of the systematic racism that's existed in our health care system and our law enforcement training in our system of public education, I'm gonna start with. Michael Brown's gonna talk about training and our lieutenant governor is gonna gonna talk about education and workforce development. We're gonna go over the numbers Secretary Freeland Anders gonna talk about long-term care and pandemic EBT let me first start with in our health care system and inequalities have been laid laid there have exposed covid- epidemic, and the results of inequality health care have been shown. It's death This type of inequality exist exist for as as it has we see African Americans dying twice the right that they make up of the population, and it's simply can't be allowed to continue any any longer it shouldn't have taken this type of pandemic or it shouldn't have taken these types types demonstrations for for us to to ending it it. now, it's gonna take a of steps one of one of coverage ones of access and one of. Well today, I'm make a commitment on coverage. I believe health care is a basic human right and I talked even when I was running about how I wanted everybody to have some form of health coverage. Well, what as I've listening and I've been trying to hear what those have been giving voice on inequality is saying it's time for prioritization and African-American communities. So we're gonna do that my commitment today. We're gonna begin an to 100 percent of our individuals and and our black and communities. everybody. We're gonna putting dollars behind it. We're going to to have a multifaceted do it, but it's time especially during covid- 19 when we see what happens you don't have gonna make sure that everybody does this is just a And making up for that inequality that Doctor King said. It was one of the most severe severe and inequality in health again. I want to eventually make that there's coverage for everybody out there, but this is the time this is our commitment and we're gonna make it happen. Next commitment is in the area of law enforcement and law enforcement training. I'm gonna ask Michael Brown to address that. Thank Governor. the one of the situations created by our response to that we had to suspend both our cadet classes at our Department of Criminal Justice training, as well as most of our training that's called in service and Kentucky has one of the highest requirements in the country for office of training and it's served us very well, but we've had to sus. And we are now as we reopen all the parts government and other parts of our economy. We're going to get back to that training. It now provides us with a very distinct opportunity and if you up the slide while we don't expect that we'll be able to get 40 40 hours of in service training for all our offices this calendar year, we are committed to get at least eight hours of training for. Our office in the remainder of the calendar year, and gonna focus on some very specific topics and also some very timely topics, some of which are self look at them. Others are not so ones that even going to to delve into and actually go through some of the training implicit bias, we know that's something that we have use of force and I don't want to simplify this because sometimes. past has marginalized into more or less how and we trained officers on how to do it. Well, We're gonna focus a lot more on the win and the why and what and that's gonna include both also for use of force that can turn about guns, but there are other tactics that we need to review civil rights laws of if any of you have been. Of course, on carring concealed weapon, you know part of the focus of that course, is to you you know what responsibilities were well. I think think this is that's worthy of a refresher course for all our offices ethics between departments between governments offices themselves, and of course between all the communities that we emotional intelligence. I don't know that much about that. So I'm just I'm gonna take with many of our of our officers, but clearly all of us come to work and we get up in the in the we carry those emotions, those feelings with us, it can affect how we operate during that day and across community relationships with Gila and JT, and along with the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council. We're gonna work on adding flesh to topics and roll this out for the remainder of our calendar year. Thank you. A Secretary Brown will also be providing an update on the the Mcafee investigation at tomorrow's 40 'clock. 'clock. still awaiting on some information to back that's necessary to the update that he's gonna context. we've talked about health care where just the first of many commitments we're gonna make is 100 percent coverage in our African-american communities and that's gonna require reaching out. gonna require things that look similar to connectors that we used to have to sign up people all around the state and it's gonna be investing in community partners that are already within within communities to help and no knows those communities like those foundational partners and we're gonna ensure that they are a big part of that. you heard about law enforcement training where this will be the most significant set of training. I believe right now. Last year set of training, I wouldn't I wouldn't governor last year well, except for a month. there was only one course that I'm aware of it was it was called cultural awareness and it was only for dispatchers. so this will be a significant step that that apply to majority of of law this commonwealth and next is where we still still significant inequality and results, and we're far too many of our schools have educators that look like their students. So I'll ask. Lieutenant Governor and Education and Workforce Development Cabinet Secretary to address that. And good evening Team Kentucky as have seen seen over past few weeks, our society has been crying out for change as I look out into crowds of people that you see on television and in our communities, I noticed that most of them are young people and as a teacher, I'm proud that we have so many of our young people engaged in the peaceful and demanding that we as their elected officials and that positive change in their communities. Let me be clear public education made to meet this moment at last Kentucky Board of Education meeting. I proposed three immediate changes that I will encourage a more representation from groups of people often overlooked in the educational process at the first was was appoint a non-voting member to the board. That is a current student Governor added a an active an official member for the first time, it was the first time that is. And so, adding a current student to the Board Education, This that every group and public education has a seat at the table as we talk the future of public education Kentucky, the second was to implement statewide implicit bias for all school faculty staff. The issue of bias that all of us Harbor is something we must confront, especially if that bias our opportunities for children and third. we want to develop new strategies and programs to recruit more persons of color. Into the field of teaching for many of our kids, the first first leaders their home are their teachers. Kentucky's kids of color deserve to see themselves reflected in their community leaders and all of our children are better prepared for their future when exposed to a diverse community of leaders and teachers. At the end of the year, test scores are higher for black who have teachers who look themselves black who have just one teacher by third grade our 13 percent more likely go to College and if they have to then they are 32 percent more likely to go to go to College to do this, we are going to work with higher education systems, especially historical black universities like Kentucky State and Simmons College to recruit tomorrow's Nation builders The Kentucky. Educate of education has already begun this work and we will continue to leverage these programs to find a group of young people who aspire to transform their through teaching the go teach teach kw a program is the next generation of teachers in the Commonwealth, with the mission to ensure that all Kentucky students have equitable access to effective teachers and the Kentucky for equity and teaching is a loan forgiveness program designed to identify and prepare effective, experienced and diverse. Educators from across the Commonwealth, the Coleman administration has been committed to lifting up the voice Kentuckians. The voices of the next generation should be no exception. They deserve leaders who listen and they deserve leaders who look like them in today's actions, move us closer to that reality. In the coming days and weeks, we will announcing additional steps steps that we work with the leaders in these to develop certainly economic and investments are absolutely necessary. One that we're already working on is is the potential for 1100 jobs and with the new MCO that is is to to putting their headquarters in West Louisville. Now we have enough time. if can use our workforce development dollars, way to provide that type of training in that community try to sure that as of those 1100 new go to people inside the community that we start trying to build wealth and not just outside opportunities and is a historic time. It is a historic time and and the demands that we are seeing for. and equality. It's time because already with what happening with the world was gonna be different afterwards and the United States was gonna be different afterwards and Kentucky was gonna be different now our commitment is to make sure it's not just different from a public health perspective, is truly different from an equality and Justice perspective. This is the time where we have the opportunity to be better. people create a better world and create a better. These are just just a few steps think are gonna help us get there. So with we'll into our kt update for the day and you'll see that both Sunday and Monday's numbers are are down. have seen increased numbers and we believe that that while our positivity rate is still very low, that's certainly the extra contacts that people have maybe getting out for for and and other extra context is creating. Cases those cases are still in a range that is manageable, but we will will have to be watching happens as that as continues, and so we still have data from the last several days to have a full conclusion but to give you idea of just much testing is out there at these numbers come from every week since May we've had over 40000 tests conducted in that. In the commonwealth, and and that is very significant from where we've come from now, the Sorin versus other of tests is broken down on our They're both included in that of but as we sit here this week, I believe last week's positivity rate was about two point 93 percent during the week which was up from about two point 56 percent the week before that so again. a lot of numbers a lot of things we look at one set of numbers that now look at significantly ICU in the hospitalization rate. that and and I I wanna Sunday and Monday's right separately and I know we're trying to to not to announce them during the weekend, but sometimes they just clumped together. They are different days that are Sundays report is one of the lowest numbers that we have seen with 70. cases and those are 70 cases 23, of which come Fayette County 15 from Jefferson 12, Warren four from Kenton three from from Woodford and one Butler. Campbell Clarke, Clay Fulton, Harlan Laurel, Logan, Muhlenberg Ohio that brought at least at the end of Sunday, our total number of cases to. Thousand 356. We also one death death on while so much lower than what we have been reporting in in the last several days and that, we're we're grateful it is another family and let's make sure that we don't treat their loss differently than we have treated others and that loss was a 51 year-old woman from Davis County. let's. We keep her her family in thoughts. Monday's numbers. today's numbers are also lower we've had in in a little while a hundred and 20 new cases of covid- 19. That brings our total state cases that we're reporting to 11476 of 260 - four are probable and the rest are lab confirmed Six from Jefferson we look back at the numbers, a significant portion of the new cases, we're seeing there are Jefferson County 20 five from Fayette five from four from three Allan Franklin, Harlan, Ohio, Shelby and Warren two from Barron Bourbon Davis, Edmondson, Madison Monroe Mason and Scott then today we lost one additional individual, which again is so much lower than what we've been seeing. But again, it's loss for that family. this 66 year-old man from Hardin County, so these so these two individuals that that we've lost with those on on on Saturday that were announced and in the in the press release, Let'. Make sure we show that same compassion for their their pain', lighting our our homes and our our and everything else up Green. let's make sure that we continue to show all of our fellow human human beings who in pain or have been treated unjustly the type of compassion that we have been showing during Cove at 19 when we look at the breakdown on race and ethnicity on cases on race, 72 point, 53 percent, White 15 point six. African-American six percent multi-racial 36 percent, ethnicity. It's right at about 85 percent, non Hispanic and 15 Hispanic, But then there's the the death piece, which one of the driving reasons that we had to the announcement and we've got to do more. We did today on on health care It it in. Here is resulted in death. And it's our job to do something about it. while there are more long term steps that we've got to take, we've got to take some action right now and no more waiting. Let's make sure everybody has the means see a doctor. the the whether it's it's Medicaid or private insurance. sure everybody is and can get options so on deaths ethnicity, it's 90 - six point 74 percent, not Hispanic three point 26. Panic and then on race 79 point, 78 percent, White four percent, black or African-American that's double double population percentage two percent 78 percent, now the total number of tests now in Kentucky stands at 280 -, 5358 and folks that's that's We are seeing testing now up close to the top 20 in the country and trajectory of new tests and staying above above that 40000 is is significant. It is very significant. It means that we can meet thresholds. the people believe we need to to reopen but we we can't have fatigue. I got a new test just just today make sure that I'm going through those steps that are needed. To to show that we cannot have that we have to continue to get tested on a semi regular basis. of kentuckyians hospitalized 2368 480 - six ever in the 958 currently 76. That's the number we watch closely. It is fairly low. that's one where we're gonna be concerned if it starts to rise and rise significantly and our Total number of recovered 3359 let's look at our long-term care facilities again. This where this virus causes so death and so much on Saturday. lost our third health care worker who was in long-term care facility trying to help other people so had since Thursday. This is the update since Thursday, 69. Additional Test Positive 30 -, 47 new One staff residents 11 new facilities have have at least one positive, but I will say with the widespread testing that we are doing doing we are excited. It's not the right word, we have had a number of come back entirely negative and right now. many of us us would thought that that wouldn't be possible. but our experience with the Green River Correctional Facility shows us that if can know everybody in the facility and whether they are positive and negative Apps that stabilize the situation and ultimately protect our people I'm not gonna ask Secretary Freelander to talk about long-term as well as pandemic EBT. Thank you Governor today I'm here as I have been here several days to talk about long-term care facilities you saw from numbers that the governor presented that this virus really does seem to attack and go for for folks who are in facilities. the governor mentioned that we had facilities tested completely negative. that's 22 percent of the facilities that we have tested back completely negative completely free of the virus. So took aggressive I think as I've said to you all, I think can behind the actions that we've taken the was very aggressive in cutting off visitation to long-term care facilities quite this process, we started to up folks who would go in and strike teams and we had a long care group group that came and advised us very early on standards that we should put in place at this point in time. We've tested about 30000 residents and staff, so we think about half of the population of residents staff we have been able to test at this We've tested about A hundred and 20 facilities in that range and so we have we'll we'll get to at least half before this week is is out. we think we've very aggressive and rather than just test willy-nilly, we have tested and been strategic about how we test so that Facilities have a a plan we've seen in a couple of incidents when facilities haven't haven't plans or when the plans robust that those facilities have real trouble, making sure that they maintain the proper number of staff and folks have really tried very hard to do that. but we have we have targeted. We have tried to have a plan. We wanted to make sure we were testing aggressively and responsibly. So last week, obviously we have, we have numbers that that that that make heart hurt around staff around residents and around people who have passed who have been in facilities. but last we were were able to figure out the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services CMS the federal government. government. All are required to report to them. So the first time we've been able to see how we stack up. so slide demonstrates for you the some things that we've able to do we are in the top 10 of of the number of that have been surveyed and particularly surveyed around control. Our resident case rate almost just half of the National case right so at 62 per hundred thousand and A case rate is is 3334 less the death rate again on the the The average is about 27 six hours is less half 11 point eight. So look at the the numbers that for just Kentucky and they do They We want to. We want those numbers to be better but when you compare them the nation and the National averages, Kentucky has done a good job, a very good. And so I want folks who watching this to know that even even though we about those across state, if you look at the National level, even if you look at the worldwide level, we have done a very and good job there. So I I want that to be of some reassurance to the folks who are watching this. The other piece that I'm here to talk again briefly today is what's called pandemic EBT or or how folks can get for children who would have had meals in schools, those breakfast and lunches that they would have the Kentucky Department of Education has been a fantastic partner. They put the word out to a lot of the families that they would have otherwise served. They've helped us with our our IT and data matching and they have. US greatly make sure that we've been able to provide outreach to families So just within less week, we have now been able extend benefits to those folks who didn't have any other connection to the Cabinet, 65000 another 99000 children who would be impacted so we know already that we put out A hundred and 40 - three million in Who have been getting assistance through C S. We think we've reached almost 400000 kids about kids. You can still sign up. You can through the end of of Please do so it is is easy.

Alright, At this point, we will open it up for questions. We journalists with here today and a group of questions from home. I'll try to do one and one as we move through Lawrence. you wanna kick us off. Alright. Well, the the first goal that we have is to have 100 percent coverage every single individual in our African-American communities to have a form of of coverage that could be Medicaid. it could be private insurance if they qualify for Medicare but are otherwise signed it, but every single individual to to have that type of coverage. Now, there are still other issues that we got to deal with. We gotta gotta deal access. you shouldn't have to take multiple buses to see a doctor. We have quality issues that we have to address we'll have other type of of of a societal or other issues that that can lead to poor health, but the that we can do maybe not but start on right minute. That doesn't require a task force or anything else. It's a direct effort by this administration. to get everybody up for some form of coverage and the blueprints are out there on how to do it when we when we when when we when a past. You saw a statewide effort and this is gonna be more targeted to try to sign up as many people as possible were the most successful in the country. There are multiple groups out there that have done this different times and here we more interconnection. I believe in the community we're looking to sign up then in many places so we're gonna put money into it. We're gonna put people into it. We're gonna make sure. Community anchors are a big it, but it's time is our goal and I'm not gonna be with 99 point. five. We're gonna have to find those extra individuals and and we saw some of that fall off in the last years. statewide less children signed up for K H, which is the the children's Medicaid. we're gonna reverse that, that, but it's time the priority in this community that that I've been hearing. Not been there let me answer one from asking me about the outbreak among members of the Clays Mill Baptist Church following my recommendation to avoid avoid these of gatherings First I hope that everybody tested positive services at Clay Mills Baptist Church has seen or talked talked doctor and and get the care that you need. We want all of you to to okay. I this situation along with some others. There was one in in Western Kentucky and along with the Supreme. Decision that's backed our authority to it I hope just proves to everybody that the reason that we ask people people to down services at a time was increasing almost doubling every week was about human life, You know I'm a faith. I'm I'm a guy who goes goes church when we could every single weekend and my kids are going on on Wednesday nights, It was absolutely. About nor would it be about trying to get in the way of people going to their to their House House of worship, what it was about is making sure people aren't harmed when they're going to House House of worship and I know that the pastor this church is is the one stepped out on the front of the the attorney general and said, at governor we can we can do do this safely Well, he couldn't so let's just make sure that. When any facility not just a House of worship is opened that we are truly ready and that we take the guidance seriously that if you having a bunch bunch of people come in to space, you ought ought to be asking them wear masks and you ought to be leading. with it, you gotta make sure that you have the cleaning that people are spaced out. out. don't just give lip service to but put your leadership behind it. You put your credibility behind it. Let's just make sure that. Don't happen again, We all wanna be safe, especially in our in our houses of worship. Tom. Who wants to know what the 33 percent will be so long. The question is on restaurants the limit. Our original goal was to look potentially raising that one one month from the original opening and we're still watching the numbers. don't see a spike that's likely the time time that we do it now the time when you can have have or under it's also gonna provide a new option for folks to where as you have the space in the restaurant, restaurant, it can spread people out. have the 50 and under guidelines, it's gonna it's gonna simplify. A number of things I know our restaurants are trying and all I'd say is any restaurant. That's not everything that you you should be doing You're putting every restaurant in their at risk, but I've I've been impressed with how hard they're trying with exception of a bar or two. that wasn't doing the It's it's it's it's been really really need to see how much they care about their customers. The. that goes into affect other the 20 - eight to the 20 20 ninth. Catherine let me read one more have I've been made aware of the sexual assault harassment allegations made against LMPD Detective Brent Heston on social media. I've just been informed about of those any of sexual harassment or sexual assault. it's important to take In a world with the rape we're nearly one in every two. Kentucky women face face some form of sexual violence in their lifetime, unacceptable and part of a better world. We're trying build ought to be a world where people don't face of violence in their life so if any of those individuals I would think want to either to certain detectives and PD and the Kentucky State police or investigators in attorney general's office. I know when I was there, we did any of those law enforcement officers should listen and should take very seriously. we've we better world and so many ways and why now Katherine's eight. It was. question is is an an eight course on implicit and racism and the rest rest for law enough. The answer but it is a start and it's a a start that actually accomplish. so when we look at what we can can do do immediately, I wanted to make sure there were things we could get out there get done and obviously we're gonna have longer term announcements that come up is that that is an eight hour enough to solve every issue. We see out there. No. it's not but. Start and we have other programs that build upon it but a start and changing the culture for all of us. I wanna say that this not just a law enforcement issue implicit bias and permeate every part of our economy. you heard about it in education, certainly in in health care, so in many ways we're all gonna have to figure out what our training is how we do better moving forward Kentucky cases. About 25 percent percent over last two weeks, the seven seven day rolling of positives also increasing so it appear to be just an increase in testing. Do I still feel comfortable with reopening strategy? I do but we are very carefully monitoring this. I mean we just had numbers today that are down when you look the weekly positivity rate. it's up about a percent over the last three weeks from two point 07 to two point 93 percent. Now we are down from a nine point seven percent. Positivity right, May so we just put it all in but we're watching this every day remember when we when we had a two -week decline and we wanna get there it took a week after that to truly see it. so we're gonna more positives. We're going to. we're gonna see more positives because people are having more contacts now I do worry that That that some aren't taking it as seriously as we should I know we out some guidance initial guidance for review on education and opening schools and I know at in a couple of situations if we had 10 things, somebody we can't realistically do those and just tell us it's still safe. Well. it's not and we can this is this is a virus that we know certain things about and we that distance and masking work and if people are UN. To do those things it makes it less safe. so the more people out there that wear masks safer. We are the more people that engage in social distance. The safer. we are the more people that have decided they're over it makes it harder and separately, let say you've been in a large group and and the recent past get tested for your safety and for others, the attorney for. All parts of the investigation and then become public. That they're. That you. So it's ongoing investigation. I believe we are sharing pieces of it more more quickly than about ever in it. What I do wanna sure as evidence to share with the the public, but in context in other words, if if there are multiple videos, people ought to be able to see them together. so I wanna make sure that that yes we are gonna be providing evidence as we go but if there is. Piece that somebody hasn't followed up on and maybe important to present it it there are multiple forms of ballistic evidence this case that all that ballistic evidence is needed to be presented together to know what you're looking at but our plan is to share details as we go forward. let's see as Confederate monuments come down both around Kentucky and around the country. I'm wondering is my take on on the memorial in front of Calloway County Courthouse in Murray and whether I'd consider taking executive I will admit that been focused on the Davis statue, which believe needs to come down and in the the of of this capital, I believe it is a symbol that divides us and It no and to me it never had a place and in a rotunda that is supposed to honor people not to to history but to honor them and I don't believe another child should have to come into this capital up at a statue of someone is seen the enslavement of some of our citizens should be I'm not just talking about it we're working on taking steps to actually get it done. I'm. familiar or familiar enough this monument in Murray, it is at the courthouse it all to come That's simple and you know what you're seeing people March all over Kentucky that agree agree and I know that might some disagreement for some people people out I told you a while ago that ago that I'm past politics, I'm trying to do to do the right thing having a Confederate Confederate monument on on on courthouse ground. In the rotunda is not thing should have done long ago, but let's let's get rid of Now, like the World Health Organization undermine the work that it wouldn't that as of the transmission was very rare have any reaction reaction to that all the the about new information from the World Health Organization. I haven't read it yet. But I certainly know that all our public health officials and every federal official and I I was on the today with the Vice President and Dr Umh. Every single time are are saying a mask and it protects people around you so that will be something we'll have to look at and analyze but certainly from from the way that we believe this coughing symptomatic folks coughing should be able to spread this. there's no question a mask will serve as a barrier to reduce that, and if we find out that masks aren't helpful, I don't. People to wear a mask just to wear a mask. does, but as as long as I believe this might prevent me from spreading it to somebody else who's body might not be able to to this disease. I'm gonna wear it and even if it's in part based on faith and and and being my my brother sister's keeper or faith that I know that this could at least reduce it. Some. It's worth it to me that Nick back there. Nope. Alright back to Lawrence. I don't miss anybody. Okay. That God is for. Should be that should be posted it's based a proposal that they sent to us that we okay. so we'll post that. If you serve and and open records request, we can get what what that proposal is right That's that's a public document. Tom Governor of the They're gonna ask you to ask to a look at the requirements of opening up they they fear what other things. Jason The three different scenarios is really good. well our our request for people to develop three plans was because we don't know what what the virus is gonna and and I was always thought to prepared. It doesn't mean that you have to to put tens of thousands dollars into into developing the plan. It just means you need thoughtful about how you're gonna do it. I mean, I think it's worth spending that intellectual capital. Time if it if it protects our children, you know, I'm we got to be willing within our schools. If we're gonna open them, the way that I want to. I want our kids back in school in the fall, but if we're going to do that to recognize there's a pandemic out there and we're gonna have to do some do some things differently. and if fight every difference that there there would be in classrooms and we're just ignoring the and I would to thank and and Bastian of education. We would learn from past we would listen to the science we would adopt the public health and yes, if it means that people have to do things somewhat uncomfortable if we have to move move desks further we have to change busing schedules. if what it takes to to make it safe, then we should consider it now. at the day, it's gonna be up to each superintendent. each superintendent closed down schools. They'll have the opportunity open them and what we're gonna do is we're gonna put out here is the way to make it it as safe can. It's the World Wide health pandemic. so it's safe as you can and then superintendents. Side, which of them they're willing to do or not that's not push it back on them. They're the ultimate decision-makers there, but what I'm not going do is to say if you won't do multiple things, things, you're just as safe. Now, there's question that we we can give you the the steps our current knowledge will make it the safest and we hope you'll take as many of them as you can and put them into practice. People. I wanna get you numbers directly because I I the uninsured rate. I know we have those numbers African-American community and then there's also which communities around the state and and the those but we'll get you you that number. I wanna sure that it's accurate. it's higher. I believe in just about any other demographic, but we're gonna fix that. On the I have no National in the fire. So the question on naming the National Guardsman is with the Jag the judge advocate general because there are some some different laws that come into play. We're waiting response to whether and how provide names the ballistics you know there are multiple pieces of ballistic evidence. We believe that we will have them all to present tomorrow and I'll put all of them in context Now. That says. May 20 - is the percentage of 40022 are those exactly and so what's problem now the figures on Kodak now in relation to contact tracing at one point, they had 50 contact traces and we had a more than that. we'll we'll give an update on the I know we have in place. we the hiring significantly done for the Department of Public Health. We have the Was that level just about fully hired and now they're boarding the the the additional contact Tracers throughout the state. I believe that we're than Kodak now is saying now are we where we need to be now? We're not We still have a lot of work to do there. it's a little worried that a number of members of the General Assembly just said they didn't think worked at all well, The well, The White House says. to do it and I believe that we can't I believe that there will be. Instances where it's easier others the the say say through the mill incident. you you certainly can determine who else was at that meeting and then and then trace those individuals. legislators are complaints from your constituents. I don't know striving the the the legislators that that voice those issues all I know is that we have the White House. We have federal health experts. you governor's office. you have state health experts that all say that we've got to do contact tracing every single governor across the country is doing it now so I don't know why we why we'd criticism out there from something that know on all levels. we we say need and it's been done in the past. Never. It's something like this but it's it's. Not and it's something that we we just have to replicate a much larger scale than than it's ever happened. Let's try to go to go through one more come on in to the community of color and what is. let us get those those numbers The percentage of African-American teachers in the in the far than the population and way low. in all of our school systems, it's incredibly important that our especially our students of color, have teachers that look like them and share of their experiences and the numbers on attainment. say that we need to be making major investments in in this and it and be a transformational, but this is everywhere it's in our state government. Providing a report in the future on that where I believe we're doing much better, but we have a long way to go it's in so many of contractors of of different types of across the state that we do business with and we gotta do better they're sure more dollars are going minority and when you points on bidding on a contract for minority contractor that they're actually a part the project and not just being listed. so you know it's time. I'm my administration is gonna do everything reasonably can to try to create a better world that's being demanded out there. Governor I can't even I have Congressman Comer thinks opening all businesses right now is a good idea. I think public disagrees his real fight there is with Donald who's administration put out a plan that with where Kentucky is right not approve of that. you'd like to argue with Doctor Burks or doctor Fal the White House itself, it can feel free. Katherine And Well, I don't I don't worry too much opposing political The Organization itself attacks me. it's their job. that's what they do now on Friday. we have 1500 young people marching Frankfort. I think that make it one of the 15 largest marches that we've seen here out there demanding change and demanding a better world and even with the the health concerns, I thought this moment. It was important be there individuals it was important to to to to talk him. It was it was pretty incredible to see a whole generation demanding better but also as I saw and when I went out having some faith that maybe I can be just a small part of of doing it now everybody's. Marches please tested. it's a smart thing to do and and we wanna keep you healthy. but there are some moments in time even though it was a personal safety issue, you know when look at at health care, it's it's it's important to be there. That's what I what I wanted do the administration to. We are not at this point and we haven't seen the would be be and many there be Churchill hasn't gotten back with us on that on that specific one yet I know they're working on some other pieces as we're moving forward, Alright now take us home regarding the. The of the days that could have been the Memorial Day. It really wasn't that much. Isn't perhaps Mother's Day and the of churches and the beginning of reopening May tenth and eleventh likely the starting point for what showed up last week. I don't think there's there's any question that that the more we open up and every time we've opened up. We're gonna see some more cases and and you know we've we've prepared for that one of the reasons that to flatten the curve curve so that we have health care capacity to help people as this virus moves through our population. Every time we open something up, it creates opportunity for the virus to spread and and where we're at right now looking at just our overall number of cases probably isn't the most important analysis. it's whether when people get it How sick are they they getting are we providing treatment? Do we have the ICU capacity? we're at that point where we've got to restart our economy, which means we gotta take care of people and when that I see you number if it does significantly go up, then then we're really gonna. that's when we to look at things as a follow up that we're have a certain number of cases by day. We see the future well until we have a vaccine that the the virus is going to spread at at certain amount and even when we're home and limiting our contacts, we still had a hundred cases about what we have today. I think it'll be really hard for us to get under that number in the near future and as long are taking care of people as long as we are protecting our long-term care facilities, which we really need to the long as ensuring there's not an outbreak like there was a Green River, which is stabilized and we are. happy about that and in Western state, which which is then got an opportunity to reopen our economy while dealing with this virus, the virus didn't go away, they're gonna be cases throughout us. Let's make sure we know signs we're willing to quarantine have to and we see a doctor when we need to and separately, Doctor Stock made sure to remind me if you've been putting off necessary medical procedures ups. We need you to be healthy. If you're if you put off your kids, vaccinations now is the time to go back. And and them let's make sure that as we come out of this, we do the be enough to deal with this virus. if we potentially get it it and that we don't succumb to issues. Alright folks, it is the end of the day and I know I've it's it strikes me that we are at a moment in history that can change things and so many different ways and I think if we open our hearts, we open our our minds we. Accept that that we have a world that has had real it and then use whether it's faith or our compassion to say that it is time time that we them and there is a lot that we can do together 1500 young people here right behind the Capitol just us all of us they want a better better world. You know. I think all live for for our kids. We all live for that generation. so let's fulfill our commitment. Let's satisfy those. And let's give them the world that they deserve.
