Good afternoon everybody. Just wanted to do a brief update today on where we are in testing in the state of California and also an update on where we are on supplies and efforts to do more to streamline our supply chains in the state of California. Of course we'll update the numbers of positives, the number of people on ICU and hospitals and as always ask you to do a little bit more to help meet this moment. Let me they'll begin with the issue of testing. Today we have tested over 126,000 individuals. In fact, 126,700 people have been tested in the state of California to date. That testing number may sound high to some. It is low to many others and certainly to me. And let me just acknowledge on the outset that the testing space has been a challenging one for us and I own that and I have a responsibility as your governor to do better and to do more testing in the state of California. We've had fits and starts. You've heard me in the past talk about the need to get more RNA extraction kits to get more reagents. We talked about the incremental work we did our labs to improve testing throughout the state. We did more with our commercial labs. We talked about some of the backlog with the commercial lab and the testing results. We actually peeked at about 59,500 individuals that were pending and waiting test results many for as many well 12 days. All of that frustrating you, certainly frustrating me. And as a consequence in the last week or so, I brought together some consultants. We brought together some private sector expertise and we formed a new work group, the vernacular well described by elected officials, a task force led by private and public sector leaders and led by folks that are on the front lines in terms of the data collection, the supply chain related to the issue of testing folks, not just focusing on diagnostics and the test itself but on testing samples and people that we're trying to figure out ways to get more swabs and to get more media for the swabs and the like. And so we are now in a position where I can confidently say it's a new day and we are turning the page on our old approach to how we coordinate, how we collaborate, how we organize and how we distribute information to you in the public around the issue of testing. I have two new co-chairs of that task force, Dr. Charity Dean and Paul Markovich, who's the CEO of Blue Shield. They have been convening experts at UCs, at Stanford, in the private sector, lab expertise, all in organizing a new mind frame to at least increase by fivefold the number of daily tests in the state of California over the course of the next few weeks. I want to be specific but I want to also be broad in terms of our expectation and not numerical yet because I want to make sure that this new promise, what we're promoting, can actually materialize. But as I said, I've been very proud of this state and its leadership and how we were first in the nation on the stay at home orders, how we were aggressive even before that by asking all of our seniors to stay at home first, how we stepped up in terms of meeting the moment, in terms of PPE and doing more to be resourceful and maintain a resourceful mindset on ventilators, refurbishing ventilators, not finger pointing. But the issue of testing, I own that and you deserve more and better. And that's what I'm committed to advancing to you today. Let me be more specific about what we are promoting. We specifically have a new partnership with UC Davis and UC San Diego to create a minimum of five to seven hubs where we have high throughput where we will work with different vendors, not be prescriptive on the exact type of testing, but work with these hubs to significantly increase our testing capacity and our collaborative spirit within those hubs. They'll be geographically based all up and down the state of California. We're pleased to announce Stanford Medicine. They've done a remarkable job to become the first in the state of California now to have the serum test, the serial, the seriology test. These are the blood based tests that will be the first homegrown serum test in the state of California. And we now are in a position where we can announce more point of care tests. These are the tests where we can get results back in as early as five minutes as long as just 15 minutes. Abbott Laboratories is now committed to 75 testing sites in the state of California working with 13 of our hospital systems and that's Sutter Kaiser others that now will partner with Abbott on the point of care tests. So this will allow us again with the hubs a more throughput testing, much closer collaboration, more data collection in real time, not just positives, but negatives. The ability now with a serum test to focus on immunology, the issues related to the immune system and looking at antibodies and proteins moving beyond just the PCR tests, which many of you may be familiar with, which are just those swab tests that try to extract the viral RNA. That's the need for RNA extraction kits on the back end. I don't mean again to confuse people except to say the approach is a comprehensive one geographically considered and much more organized in terms of not just the supply chain, but the data collection and then the information gathering that we could provide to you in real time in a much more robust way. We have just now 13,000 tests out of the 126,700 13,000 are waiting for results. So we have substantially reduced that backlog. A lot of that had to do with the commercial labs stepping up and we congratulate them for their good work. And also as it relates to again, the frustrating issue around data collection with one of our largest counties in the state that was providing that data, but not in the real time that you deserve. And so again, I own that you deserve better and more. And we are going to do just that as we try to meet this moment. I want to ask our co chair Dr Dean to come up, talk a little bit more, amplify a little bit more about why this is a new day. We have her co chair, Paul Markovich on the phone as well to amplify her words. And then I'll move into some of the work we're doing on supply chain in the state of California. Doctor. Thank you, Governor. I'm Dr Charity Dean. I'm the co chair of California's new testing task force. What we hope to accomplish is to harness the innovative spirit of California with the laboratory science expertise that we have across the state. There are many experts in our academic centers and our private entities who have been working hard to come up with innovative solutions to increasing testing in California. Our new task force is going to look across the board at everything that is being done and where the opportunity is to do more to both tackle issues around the supply chain and new innovative ways that we can do testing in California that really ramps up to a much larger scale than we've been doing up to this point. This is a private public partnership and the partnership from our private entities is incredibly valued and we're doing this side by side. My co chair is Paul Markovich from Blue Shield, who has significantly contributed and brought to the table a lot more muscle power and expertise to partner with the state of California and all the academic institutions. Thank you, Dr Paul, you're on the line. Perhaps you can illuminate us further on the work you've been doing and and your sense of confidence that we're going to be able to significantly step up the number of tests we're doing on a daily basis. Well, thank you, Governor. Thank you, Charity for the for the opportunity to help. We at Blue Shield of California in addition to me, we have about 30 people who have volunteered as a temporary workforce to help with this issue. And the reason I have optimism is not only the capability of the team that's been assembled, but the fact that we are managing to gather the data that we need to to understand what supply is available, because we know it scares in a worldwide pandemic, there are multiple states and countries that are demanding the same materials at the same time, but be able to know where the scarce supplies are, and then make sure they're distributed to the hubs as you mentioned, or the places where the highest throughput can happen in the testing, as well as understand the environment and scan and understand all the possible new tests that are coming out, gather the information on them and let the experts decide which ones hold the most promise to increase our our testing capacity. So I've been very, I feel very privileged to be working with the group. And I think we are starting to get some traction in being able to assemble these facts and allow the state to make good informed decisions to improve the throughput on testing. Thank you, Paul. And thank you, Charity. And thank you to the work group for your hard work over the last week. Thank you to our teams that have been searching high and low all across the state for best practices and new innovative ideas. And it's really in that spirit that I want to transition, and of course, we'll answer any questions on testing just in a moment, to the issue of medical supplies. I joked with my staff the other day, I said, I feel like I'm just full time operator, taking incoming emails and text messages from friends that have friends. They always seem to have friends with something in mind to help in this capacity or that capacity. And we have been overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of individuals and businesses that are been willing to support our efforts, particularly on critical medical supplies, in order to make it easier on everybody. And we've got a big team that's working on this full time. And we've had some wonderful results from those efforts, we want to make it a little bit easier for everybody. So we created a new site called COVID-19supplies.ca.gov COVID-19supplies.ca.gov. And it's a simple website. Not easy to create. I want to thank Salesforce, by the way, for supporting, helping put this together. But it's a simple site for individuals and organizations that can just fill out their names, put their email, best contact number, and what resources they may be offering. You can see just from this specific sheet, we have 13 critical areas for medical supplies that we're looking for, obviously ventilators and 95, mass surgical mass coveralls, exam gowns, face shields, goggles, examination gloves, hand signers, sanitizer, wipes, test kits, swabs, and testing media. So that's the panoply of what we need and what we're looking for. But we've also done one better. We're also asking for manufacturers that are willing to ship to give us more specific data on what it is that they believe they could ship supply chain time to get these units procured or produced. And also letting us know if they're FDA approved, if they have CAD drawings, so we can provide the specs for individuals that are offering that support. So this is a brand new website. It just went live. We're already getting we haven't even promoted it. We're all getting a lot of people that are responding to meet that moment again, all of that in the spirit of California. And by the way, speaking of that spirit, just yesterday, we had those rocket scientists up here in the state operation center that were showing us some of these new bridge ventilators, which they quite literally were able to organize and procure with old windshield wiper kits that are readily available just shows the ingenuity of what people are putting together that may make it look a little less significant than it is. These are incredibly professional units, remarkably well designed and manufactured, but they were able to get the specs along the lines of what I'm suggesting and be able to turn those around quite literally in a few days. And so that's why we think this site could be very helpful on being a little bit more prescriptive on what we're looking for and being a little bit more organized in terms of the regulatory challenges that many of us continue to have to work around or through in terms of getting these supplies procured and into people's hands. I should note, as I do on a daily basis as it relates to supplies and 95s always being a proxy of consideration and concern for all of us, particularly our health officials and frontline workforce. We have already distributed 41.2 million and 95 masks to date. We've delivered 41.2 million. So it gives you a sense as soon as it comes in, we get those millions, that's just millions in the last few days of those N95s that we're getting out in real time, in addition to the coveralls and the gowns and all of the other medical supplies that we were referring to. Briefly, let me update you on the new numbers that come in, number of hospitalized in the state system now 2300, a number of people on ICU 1,008, that represents a 10.9% increase in ICU beds versus the previous day. Some 12,026 individuals now have tested positive for COVID-19 in the state of California and that represents a 12.4% increase over the previous day. That's important for many reasons, it's also important for another reason. You saw the significant increase day over day and the total number of tests in the state, again still inadequate to do what we must do for the kind of community surveillance and other testing that you deserve. But the total number of positives by reducing that backlog from 59,500 down to 13,000, the total number of positives, not the exact cohort, it's not apple to apple, but there is some cross polarization there in terms of those cohorts and that data, but that 12.4% I think gives you a sense it's pretty consistent where it's been plus or minus over the last few weeks, it gives you a sense that obviously not all of those individuals that are waiting for results tested positive quite the contrary. And we're working to get an apple to apple because I imagine you may have questions, well what percentage specifically came back in terms of their positive results? We're going to get that data and get the apple to apple data so that we are absolutely confident in those numbers. Again, as some tests come back in 12 days, other tests, rapid point of care tests come back in five minutes, we've got to obviously disaggregate all of that so that we could provide that information. We also have new numbers that have come in on that health core.ca.gov website over 79,000 individuals now signed up, provided their licenses to contribute to the need to surge our system. I should note as we vet all of those again it's such an overwhelming number that there are thousands of individuals that already work in the health care system that I think are looking for other opportunities and so we're working through those numbers. It's just still a staggering number of individuals that have gone to that site offering their specific expertise as radiologists and EMTs, paramedics, nurse practitioners, skilled nursing, you cross the board all the all the workforce you can imagine pharmacists, not just doctors, all of them are represented in that 79,000 number and very proudly so. Also want to just update the good work of our team Karen Johnson and others. We have now another number of hundreds of new hotel rooms we're brought online just overnight for the homeless. We're now at 7178 that we now have under our occupancy agreements and we're getting people off the streets in real time that can't happen soon enough. I announced the details of that effort yesterday. We want to continue to get those numbers up and I want to continue to update you on those efforts to procure those non congregate sites so we can isolate the most vulnerable Californians and speaking of vulnerable, we are very focused on our seniors, our adult gay care in the state of California and not just our assisted living and SNFs are skilled nursing facilities. They continue to be a top priority of focus and working with the CDC, not just our own Health and Human Service representatives at the state and local level to focus on hotspots that are clearly clustering in the state of California for that matter across the rest of the country to do everything we can to protect our seniors. So that's it in broad strokes update on where we are on testing, where we want to go with the testing regimes where we are currently on our supply chain as relates to critical materials and these 13 categories that I just set forth. On Monday, we'll talk more about our total assets that we've procured from our bed perspective and our acute care system and delivery system perspective. We continue to work on a myriad of other issues on small business needs on issues related to the challenges cities and counties are having to meet this moment and continue to work with the school system districts large and small on making sure we get those Wi-Fi hotspots up and running and make sure our kids are continuing to learn despite the fact that schools are closing classes are still in. And I'll continue to remind all of you the most important thing you can do is continue to practice the physical distancing that you have. I know there's enforcement going on all up and down the state. Some have been more high profile than others. I want to thank all the local elected officials for their outstanding work to do the appropriate level of enforcement. The state's always prepared to do more. And I just want to encourage people don't don't force our hand in that respect. Continue to encourage your friends and colleagues. And like I had to this morning, I got a text this morning from a good friend of mine whose son says he's going to a party this weekend with friends. And she was literally in tears when she called saying, what do I do? And I said, well, first you give me his cell phone number and I'll call him in disabuse of this. But I imagine you're seeing that just as parents were seeing that teenage kids and others that say, hey, we've been doing this for a month. Enough's enough or even just a few weeks. We cannot allow Kevin fever to come in. We cannot allow people to start congregating again. Big cues are on the beaches and our parks. Let's hold the line. Let's keep doing the good work that we've done so far in the state of California. Keep those numbers below those worst case projections as we so far are but recognize we're not out of the woods. We still death rates now over 237 12 plus 1000 people have tested positive were seeing double digit increases in many of these areas, including in terms of the ICU beds. You do the math on that. This is serious. This is real. And I appreciate a lot of attention that California is doing well in some areas, but there are other areas where we can do better and that is incumbent upon all of us as individuals to recognize our own role and responsibility just as I am on the testing. I asked you to do in terms of practicing physical distancing. And as always is the first state to put out broad stroke guidelines on face coverings. Do the same when you go to the grocery store and make sure that you're practicing, not just physical distancing, but also practicing the appropriate hygiene and the appropriate consideration to others as it relates to the appropriate face coverings as we continue to go after masks for our first responders and our healthcare professionals as the top priority. So I want to thank you all for opportunity to update. And of course, we're here to answer any question on any of these topics. And as I always expect, even topics we haven't brought up. Adam Bean, Associated Press. What adequate testing look like to you? How many tests per day should California be performing? Well, I want to I want to see hundreds and hundreds of thousands of tests. I want everybody tested that needs to be tested, want appropriate community surveillance so we can do testing that is strategic. We're going to need to do substantially more testing to get people back in the workforce to focus on those through the serum tests and serology that have had COVID in the past that moving beyond just the PCR tests. So all of that needs to take shape. And so the numbers need to multiply exponentially. And I know this has been a frustration for all of us across this country. And again, I think it was my mom who said this, maybe it was my dad said, don't complain and don't explain. We can do that for another day. I'm not going to explain away why we didn't do more and better. All I can say is we're going to do more and better. And we own that I own that and and we're going to work with all of these different testing modalities and not pick and choose and see which one works so we can truly scale to get the kind of coverage across the state that everybody deserves. Melody Gutierrez, LA Times. Yes, a little bit about the PPE and fraud related to some of the purchases of those supplies that has a lot to do with even some of the testing supplies. You know, what is the state doing to ensure that these fraud fraudulent purchases are not going through? Well, some of the friends of our friends aren't always above board. Let's just acknowledge that there's a lot of fraud in this place. A few weeks ago we talked about a lot of cyber fraud that was happening across the board and how even individuals are being fished and how it's important for all of us to practice not just physical distancing but to not provide your social security number, your mom's maiden name and the name of your first pet to any stranger that somehow gets attached to your inbox. But you're seeing that not surprisingly where people are taking advantage of all of us at this moment and saying they're going to deliver something quite literally that they're not capable of delivering or never intended to deliver. That's been highlighted in your newspaper, the LA Times as relates to some of those things are happening within the hospital system and others individuals that stepped up that even want to make personal contributions have been defrauded in that respect. We are working with the FBI in terms of a number of investigations in that space. We've procured some masks, for example, that came in. We're sent back that were moldy. So it's not only not receiving the product, it's getting inadequate product or product that was identified and labeled as one thing comes in as another or the units that were agreed to don't arrive. And so this is been described, I think, appropriately as the Wild Wild West. We're trying to organize in a more deliberative manner. That's the COVID-19 supply dot c eight dot org or dot gov website that we're advancing and we are as a nation state working with FEMA as our principal partner to make sure that we are really following through on protocols and procedures where we can guarantee supplies because we're purchasing supplies at scale again 41 plus million and 95 masks. We've already delivered. We are committed to procuring hundreds of millions more and that requires diligence. It requires a level of expertise and we can never make speed become the enemy of real results that ultimately deliver on our promise. I hope to be making some announcements as early as Monday and Tuesday, more specifically about some of these larger supply chain issues to give you even more confidence that your dollars, your tax dollars are being well invested and that we have appropriate security protocols that are now in place. Ron Brownstein, the Atlantic. Governor, good afternoon. I know this isn't the most immediate issue you are dealing with, but the president today was meeting with the heads of the sports leagues and all the reports are that he is urging them to resume playing as soon as possible, including starting the NFL season on time late this summer with fans in the stands. Do you believe that California's position where you will feel comfortable with 80,000 people going to football games in California in August and September? I'm not anticipating that happening in the state. Let me tell you why, Ron. We all seen the headlines of the last couple days in Asia where they were opening up certain businesses. Now they're starting to roll back those openings because they're starting to see some spread. There's a boomerang. One has to be very cautious here. One has to be careful not to over promise. It's interesting. I have a lot of friends that work in Major League baseball and in the NFL. They've been asking me, in fact, a well-known athlete just asked me, a football player, if he expects to come back. I said I would move very cautiously in that expectation. So look, I'm not here to second guess anybody, but I am here to say this. Our decision on that basis, at least here in the state of California, will be determined by the facts, will be determined by the health experts, will be determined by our capacity to meet this moment, bend the curve, and have the appropriate community surveillance and testing to confidently determine whether or not that's appropriate. And right now, I'm just focusing on the media, but that's not something I anticipate happening in the next few months. Angela Hart, Kaiser Health News. Thank you, Governor. I wanted to ask you, you know, we're hearing a lot that calibrating its efforts and your efforts to really bolster response and recovery for COVID. It's still so deeply intertwined with the really robust healthcare agenda that you outlined earlier this year. So I just wanted to ask you specifically on things like CalAIM and your prescription drug overhaul and even your healthcare affordability office. I mean, do those fit into your category of going on the back burner in terms of the budget this year? Or do you think that there's still possible? Remember those days, Angela, just was weeks ago we were laying out one of the most comprehensive reforms of the Medicaid system, MediCal here in the state of California, the nation. We talked about this once in a generation opportunity to do so to integrate physical and brain health. We committed over close to 700 million dollars just in this fiscal year in our budget proposal to advance that. Obviously, you know we're doing a lot more on single purchasing capacity in the pharmaceutical space and we've got a new office you just represent that we also were promoting. All of that and more cross-panoply of budget asks and considerations and categories. All of that is being reviewed. All of that is being recalibrated. That's the direct answer to your question. All of that is being recalibrated in relationship to the budgetary crisis that is starting to manifest and the economic crisis that's self-evident, by the way, in the fact that now 2.1 million Californians since March 12th, 2.1 million Californians have filed for unemployment insurance already. And so that's sobering and as a consequence to the budgetary requests that I advanced of the legislature in January. All of that is being reconsidered, but healthcare always will be a top priority and I assure you we will do everything in our power to lean into the future despite these circumstances and not just walk away from reforms because reforms can happen on a good day or a bad day and we are certainly committed to advancing them. Jeremy White, political. Governor, thanks as always. The governor of Oregon has committed today to sending some more medical supplies to New York noting that they are in a worse place than Oregon. If that's something that you've contemplated California sending medical supplies to other states like New York that are having a worse time of it than we are right now? Yeah, to the extent we have the resources, resourceful folks, including people, not just PPE, we would consider doing that. But let me just make this clear. We are preparing for a scenario where we need 50,000 beds, we need hundreds of millions of line items of PPE, we are working a day and night to find new ventilators. We talked about what Virgin Orbit is doing in terms of recalibrating their lines here in California and providing us bridge ventilators. We are working on the open market to procure even more. But if we are in a position to do that, absolutely unequivocally we will do that. And I just want to remind you of what we already started doing and that is starting to line up our procurement strategies by working with other procurement czars in other states. So we are trying to avoid the competition in this space with each other and seeing if we can utilize our purchasing power. We hope, again, in just a few days, Jeremy, to make some announcements about substantial efforts to procure at scale PPE. That would then also provide a different resources for other states, we hope, not just the state of California. So the answer is yes if we are positioned to do so. Micro, KPCC. Micro, KPCC. Hello, can you hear me perfectly? Thank you so much, Governor. In Sacramento County, the Head of Health Services there said that dozens of people from a mega church have been infected with COVID-19. What has been your communications with the faith community and are they eating stay at home orders? I mean, broadly and that specific circumstance, no. In the consequence of that, are devastating. I can't be more clear in my admonition, practice physical distancing, be it tribal nations, be it faith-based leaders, be it small, you know, you know, I don't know, fill in the blank. Everybody in the state of California, 40 million strong, practice physical distancing, period, full stop. Don't dream of regretting. Don't put other people's lives in the line. In faith-based communities all about love. If you love thy neighbor, you will practice physical distancing. You won't put them in a congregate setting to put their lives at risk. It's faith and works. As we pray, let's move our feet and let's move our feet six feet apart from one another. Rachel Becker, Cal Matters. Hey, Governor, thanks for taking my question. You mentioned an antibody test from Stanford. I'm not seeing it listed as having received emergency use authorization from the FDA. Has it? What's the timeline for rolling out these antibody tests? At what scale? How do you anticipate the antibody test being used? And what is the false positive and false negative rate that we know of? That's why we have Dr. Charity Dean here. But as it relates to Stanford medicine, that test is about to be approved. In fact, I thought that we would be able to formally announce the approval, but it's literally forthcoming, and that means within hours, not just days, as it relates to the serum test specifically, that is the homegrown, California-based Stanford medicine test. But Dr. Dean will answer the other specifics of your question. Thank you for that question. We are very pleased to have Stanford medicine included on the testing task force. Their laboratory led by Dr. Christina Kong has developed an antibody test. So that's a serology test through a laboratory-developed testing mechanism. And the importance of the serology test in the larger picture of COVID-19 is that helps determine who may be immune, who has been infected and then developed antibodies. Stanford medicine will be coming out with more information about that test, so I don't want to get ahead of that information. But we're very excited that this is a California homegrown test that is going to be rolled out in the next week for actual use on Californians. And Stanford's partnership is critical in looking at that innovative technology to scale up testing across the state. Stanford's ingenuity also includes, you know, current testing of new 3D printing protocols for swabs for more of the traditional PCR tests as well. We're just blessed to have all of these academic institutions and medical labs in the state of California. Lawrence Livermore, Lawrence Berkeley Labs, Sandia Labs, the incredible work being done at Cedars and folks down there at Scripps, not just our UCs in Stanford and USC, it's just an extraordinary, extraordinary resourced state in that respect. Next question. Stephanie Steker, Bloomberg News. Hi, Governor. My question is on testing. Are there any efforts or directives coming to prioritize healthcare workers, other essential workers who are most likely to contract the coronavirus and also very likely to pass it on? Or is that something that's more done on the county level? Yeah, I know, in fact, the task force is very prescriptive recommendations in terms of the prioritization. Obviously always individuals that are hospitalized for clinical purposes to make the determination of the best clinical response and approach healthcare workers, front line workers, including extracting broadly to first responders, broadly defined and healthcare workers are not just in our hospital systems and our community clinics, but also in our skilled nursing facilities and in our adult facilities. We have broadly then put together additional protocols of prioritization that ultimately go to the community surveillance that we've described that ultimately will lead to our capacity identify a strategy to get people back to work and get people back into a more community minded set of protocols as we turn the corner here. Megan Cassidy, SF Chronicle. Hi, I want to see in light of all of the cases that we've seen at the nursing home in Arundah, what can be done to stop or slow the spread in those facilities? It's Arundah, it's San Diego, San Bernardino. This is what we're why we're here at the state operations center. We have teams of people assembled around specifically answering in real time that question. Each and every location requires a different approach, different response, but we are seeing hot spots and I obliquely reference the CDC working with the CDC to bring personnel here into the state or take existing CDC personnel within the state and bringing them to these hotspots, providing technical expertise and providing the resources to help isolate individuals from these congregate settings and then dealing with tracing and the issue of forensically trying to figure out how people, was it a staff member, was it an individual that was in the facility that's contracted this, when did they contracted, when were they asymptomatic and could have spread it without knowing they were positive, when they were determined positive. So in each and every one of these circumstances up in Tulare County working on that today, as I said, San Diego, not just Arenda and San Bernadito, we're monitoring hundreds of these facilities. Let me be more specific for the purposes of advancing an appreciation for the magnitude of what we're up against in the state. We have currently an inventory of over 8,832 sites that we are monitoring literally over 8,800 sites that we're monitoring throughout the state of California. So this task is huge. Again, the nation state of California and we're doing everything in our power to try to address this. But this is a top, as I said, homelessness and this issue is of top concerns because you're seeing some of these SNFs, some of these facilities were two-thirds of the patients, two-thirds are testing positive. People losing their lives, people losing their loved ones and staff having to deal with the consequences of being tested positive themselves or just the magnitude of the human condition. So thank you for this question and know this is a focused, disproportionate to so many others of the efforts that we are currently advancing every hour of every day. Final question, Brody Lavec, LA Blade. As I'm sure you're aware, California's got the largest LGBTQ community in the United States and over 100 health and advocacy organizations are warning that the state's LGBTQ population are more vulnerable both to the health as well as the economic impacts of this outbreak of COVID-19. I think the question is, is the state giving considerations to these unique needs of this community in respect to relief efforts and services, particularly since many are in the gig economy? Yeah, across the spectrum from addressing homeless youth, particularly in LA County. So the answer is yes, from an LGBTQ perspective, but also from a geographic perspective and from an age perspective as it relates to providing more federal resources for housing opportunities for LGBTQ youth and adults. Look, I come from San Francisco, fifth generation. It's a point of deep pride when we talk in terms of cultural competency. Neighborhood by neighborhood. The history of the HIV and AIDS epidemic searing a consciousness of our health care delivery focus. Again, a bottom up focus. And of course, that extended to Dr. Fauci, who was very familiar to the folks in San Francisco and within the LGBTQ community as being one of our heroes decades ago in terms of how he met that moment and he spoke truth in that moment. And so the answer is absolutely yes, point of pride for me as a former mayor, San Francisco and someone who's deeply attached to the needs and desires and aspirations and the health of our LGBTQ community. Well, with that, I think that was the last question. And I just want to thank everybody for their continued attention to practicing safe physical distancing, to make sure that we continue to encourage others to do the same. Again, social persuasion, being the best enforcement of our stay at home order. I continue to be mesmerized by the extraordinary heroism of not just our frontline employees and those in law enforcement and those in our health care system, but our teachers and our parents that are struggling to raise their kids and have to do the kind of work that we never imagined at home as home care needs continue to mount. I want to just thank all of those of you that have participated in not only our health core website, but also the serve.ca.gov website serve.ca.gov website where people are signing up to help volunteer for food banks to help support the homeless and providing their own blood to help our blood banks with supplies continue to do those things, continue to practice good hygiene and continue to be safe. Thank you all very much.


So, what I wanted to do in this video is basically give you a review of some of the comic books that I've been reading, some of the series that I've been following for the last, well, better part of 2016, we're just getting into 2017 and what I usually end up doing at the end of every year when I'm doing hardcore collecting or at the beginning of the year is usually go through my comic books, go through my poll list at the comic store and I pretty much trim the fat, I get rid of some of the stuff that I'm not reading, some of the stuff, so I keep some of the stuff that's stuck with me, right? And a few weeks ago I showed you what my poll list was, majority of my poll list anyway at the comic book store and I've had the chance to go through some of those comics, read some of those comics, so I thought I'd give you a little bit of a review of what I've been reading. Okay, so the first bunch of comics we're going to look at are Valiance, so as far as the Valiance are concerned, I'm picking up everything except Faith, okay? And what I had the chance to do was catch up on Eternal Warrior, what an amazing series and this ended with issue number 14, so 14 finishes Wrath of the Eternal Warrior, but what a fantastic series, this was basically the most, the series I was looking forward to along with a couple of others, looking forward to the most coming out every month and it was absolutely fantastic and if you haven't read the series what you need to do is read the first four issues of Book of Death, the four issue mini series because that directly kicks into Wrath of the Eternal Warrior, okay? So there's really 18, this is number 14 for Wrath of the Eternal Warrior, but there's really 15, 16, 17, 18, so there's really 18 books in this series and seriously this just became one of my favorite series of all time and if you're an Eternal Warrior fan, one question that's always been lingering with everyone was what happens to the Eternal Warrior when he dies and basically at the end of Book of Death, well, at the beginning of the series we're shown what happens to the Eternal Warrior and what the whole sequence of events is and this was fantastic really, amazing series, amazing series and if we're going to rate them, I would give this one a 10 out of 10 as far as a character is concerned on the level of sort of portraying a character for their true essence, right? It was absolutely brilliant thing, we saw how what an amazing tactician, what an amazing warrior, the Eternal Warrior is, right, Gillette is because at the, you know, during the Book of Death mini series we saw him take out all of Unity, saw him take out Exo, Live Wire and Ninjak, I can't remember if Bloodshot was there as well, but there was another character as well, I believe the gigantic robot Enid, Jin, I forget the names, I'm bad with names, but he took out all of them in like two minutes, right, fantastic series Wrath of the Eternal Warrior and I did review the first series that Valiant put out with the relaunch, the Eternal Warrior series, that was an E8 issue series, I know a lot of people didn't like it, I loved it, I thought it was extremely well done and just, there's three issues of Eternal Warrior, it's been released that I haven't read yet, which is Days of Steel, I believe it's just a three issue mini series, but so far all of the Eternal Warrior stories, I think they tie in, they take us everywhere, right, it's basically all the stories that have been told are sort of shown as his namesake, where he's, you know, where he came from, with some of the history behind it, with, you know, the first mini series with four of the comics and that, and then they took us to the future, and that part, the first four, I believe, sort of connected up with the present as well, so he was having recaps over, finding out all the different houses, and then the next four took us out all the way to 4001 or 4002 or whatever it is into the future, and Wrath of the Eternal Warrior connects up the present into where he goes when he dies, which is amazing, amazing, right? Another sort of series that I finished catching up on, which was the 4001 AD crossover, which was, you know, we had the 4001, you know, I caught up with number three and four, you know, I already read one and two, and then I read Rai, 15 and 16, and the previous one or two to this were amazing. The crossover was 4001 AD and Rai, I like 4001 AD, it was good, but what was happening in Rai during this crossover was absolutely brilliant, like really, you know, 10 out of 10 for sure what was happening in Rai, as for the crossover itself, the mini series, you know, it was okay if you're sticking with, since I started sticking with the reading system, I would give it, you know, eight and a half out of ten or something, it was a fun read, and the other one that I really liked was the introduction of War Mother into the Valiant Universe, I'm assuming it's going to be a major female character in the Valiant Universe, and it was unique, it was, War Mother was fantastic, and I love the sci-fi aspect of it, absolutely fantastic, I loved it, nine and a half out of ten if I was given a reading system. Now Harbinger, Renegade, there's only two issues out, I got two copies of number one, so this is number one and number two, so I'm not too deep into this, but really good so far, it's got a good start to it, it's really hard to decide how good a series is going to be, just by two issues, but it's been pretty good so far, I like it, I'm looking forward to it, definitely a great start, and just to give you an idea, where is this? Oh yeah, how good a series it's going to be, where did I put it? Just on that note, I read all five issues, there's five issues of generation, generation zero out, and the reason I'm jumping to this one is because Harbinger is only too deep, so when I read generation number one, I was like, it's okay, I mean the writer is Fred Van Lent, and I think he's one of the, just fantastic, I'm pretty sure he's the writer for the 2012 Archer and Armstrong series, and that was, that's one of my ultimate favorite series of all time, and you can see some of the humor, I hope I got the right writer, you can see the humor popping up in this as well, and then I read Generation 2, and I was like, getting interesting, getting fun, Generation 3, I was immersed in it, and then the humor starts kicking in, and by number five, I'm really looking forward to this coming out, right? This more so right now than Harbinger, just to give you a feel for, sometimes it takes a few issues to get into a series, right? So Generation 0, 9.5 out of 10, easy peasy, Harbinger so far with two issues in, I give it an 8.5 out of 10, another crossover that I got caught up on, it was really good, it's fun, now where are we, here we go. So I read, I was reading Bloodshot Reborn from the beginning, and then I missed, I've missed some of the issues in the middle, I forget how deep I got into it, where I missed it, but basically I picked that up again with Bloodshot Reborn with Bloodshot Island, okay? I wanted to know what was going on with Bloodshot Island because I heard that that was kicking into Bloodshot USA, and you know, I read Bloodshot Island, I believe start off with number 14, this is number 16, 17, 18, and I believe Bloodshot Reborn is over, and that's directly kicking Bloodshot USA, and Bloodshot Island was fun, it gave us a lot of history of Project Rising Star and some of Bloodshot, and we saw like a Bloodshot family now, and one thing that's happened is, Valiant, one thing they said when they did the relaunch at the beginning, they said when a character dies, he's not coming back, or she's not coming back, right?  In Bloodshot Island, I'm not sure if you can hear this, there's like a wind storm outside, it's really windy, it's been really windy for like 24 hours so far, it's crazy windy, great, great time to read a comic book, storm outside, read comic books, I can't get any better than that, right? But going back to Bloodshot Reborn, Bloodshot Island, I believe it's issue number 14 or 15, Kay comes back, okay? And Kay is from the Valiant, the Geomancer that the Eternal Enemy, anyone giving spoilers, but you know, you should read those, they were fun, the Valiant was fantastic. So Bloodshot Island was, you know, it was fun, it was really good, giving us some history, and the artwork was crazy. Miko, Suyon, S-U-A-Y-A-N, fantastic artwork, fantastic artwork, really, very unique and very live, like there's some artists that, you know, when they draw it, it's beautiful, but there's no motion in it, right? Miso, Suyon, I don't know how to pronounce that, his artwork is motion, it's brilliant, it's fantastic, and it was really good for for Bloodshot Island because there was a lot of, a lot of motion happening in the story arc, and the writer is just Jeff Lemire, right? Wow, wow, wow. So that, Bloodshot Island, the end of Bloodshot Reborn, kicks into Bloodshot USA, and the writer for this is, again, Jeff Lemire, and the artwork is Doug Brathwaite, Doug Brathwaite, and it's a good story so far, it's very good, sort of kicks us up a notch with the project rising, rising spiritually, how insane they are, right? They're crazy. You could definitely extrapolate some of the stuff that's happening for, in Bloodshot, USA and Bloodshot Island, into present day politics, guaranteed, guaranteed. Now, so we cover Generation Zero, let me talk about Divinity. Okay, so I caught up on Divinity 2 with number three and four, this is another mini-series, so I had read, it's all buried in boxes, now one and two, and it was a pause, so I finished off Divinity 3 and 4, the odds are I'm going to pick up the trade for this because my gap between 2, reading 2 and reading 3 was a little bit too long, so the odds are I'm going to pick up the trade for this and read the trade paperback, the story arc in one shot, and Divinity number 2 kicks off directly into Divinity number three, and this is number three, number one, and the first one shot that's out right now is Commander Bloodshot, right? The sort of story arc is basically the universe has been changed, the time stream where the Soviet Union encompasses the world, and it's fantastic, and it's a nice premise, and there have been other premises like this, one of them was, there's a trade that I've read, I haven't finished the whole trade yet, but I forget what it is, I might post the name here when I, you know, for this video it's a fantastic story arc, but at some point I'm going to grab the whole story arc and read it, I've only read some of it, but this is along the same premise to a certain degree, but one thing I'll mention is so far, Valiant Comics, the one shot statement putting out, they are some of the most amazing one shot story arcs I've read, and they're basically stand-alones, you really don't have to know too much about the Valiant universe or the characters to appreciate what's going on, so the one shots that Valiant is putting out, I'm picking up all of them, and I'm definitely making sure that I read all of them, so this was really good, it was, you know, Divinity Number 3, Number 1, it was good to sort of lay down the foundation, and it was interesting what was going on, dark, very dark, okay, from what I read so far, so I'm looking forward to the rest of this series, and Divinity Number 2, it was basically the second part of the continuation of Divinity Number 1, so if you really want to get into the Divinity Story arcs, I know Valiant is calling, I'm different, starting out with Number 1's and their, you know, Volume 1, 2, 3, or whatever it is, but it's one continuous story arc, okay, so when Divinity Number 3 is done, there's going to be 12 issues in the series, if you want to think about it that way, so that's been fun read, definitely fun read, one of the most fantastic, amazing, like one of some of Valiant's best work, like really fantastic, and the writer for this, and it's Britannia, if you've been reading Valiant, you've read Britannia, you know it's going to be Britannia, so I finished off the Britannia four issue mini series, there were no one shots associated with this, the writer for this is Peter Milligan, and the artist is Juan Jose Rup, R-Y-P, last name, Ripe, Ripe, I don't know, Ripe, wow, right, if you want to take a look at the artwork of this artist, the details are absolutely amazing, and we read, I put out the videos for Legends of the Geomats, for all four issues, and it's the same artist, this is the same artist, and very unique artwork, very unique artwork, and the storyline for this is fantastic, really, one of the best things, if not the best thing I've read in 2016, and I've read a lot, I just sat down, I had only planned on reading one, I had time for reading one, but I sat down and read the whole thing in one shot, I couldn't put it down, I had to read the whole thing, the artwork is amazing, the story is a sort of a Roman detective story, 10 out of 10, on the same level as Eternal Warrior, but Eternal Warrior, I found it too short, each issue was too short for me, so I would rank Britannia above the wrath of the Eternal Warrior, because each issue was long, was intricate, was detailed, the quality of the comic is heavy stock, fantastic quality paper, like it's prestige format, for a regular comic book price for most publishers anyway, and one other thing about this is that the end of each story, each issue, they had brought in a historian, I'm assuming the person was a Roman historian, this professor, something, something, something, and he was writing, so this is, it's got a lot of history in it, so the stories at the back, there was like four or five pages, three or four or five pages of written text, where this professor is explaining some of the history behind what's happening in Britannia, and you know they talk about Roman, Britain, Britain, they talk about the female sect, and they talk about the centurion, they talk about Neo, so there's four things they cover, I think I got those right, and I didn't read those yet, but I talked to a comic book shop owner, and he told me it was a Roman history buff, and he found the writing at the back extremely intriguing, so I'm assuming there's a lot of cool stuff covering that if you're into that, right? So Britannia, as far as I'm concerned, a must read, must read for 2016, for comic books that came out in 2016, same with Wrath of the Turner or Warrior, they're a must read, Divinity 2 as well, yes. The other series that I caught up with, I was way behind, was Archer and Armstrong, and it read issue number five to ten, and it was fun, right? It's not as good as the 2012 Archer and Armstrong series, in my opinion anyway, I know some people are loving this, and the writer for this is Raphael Roberts, and the artist is Mike Norton, the art suits the story arc, it's very light, funny, jumping around, and a lot of different like zany characters, but I consider the 2012 Archer and Armstrong series a 10 out of 10, like that one's one of my favorite series of all time. This one I would give an eight, if you're in for some light reading, it's a fun read, it's really, it is definitely a fun read. Okay, and those are the valiants, and there's one more, actually two more I want to show you, okay. Now I'm way behind on my Ninjak reads, I read a few of the first issues, and I stopped reading, and I haven't read most of this, but I definitely read through Ninjak 22, because it's a silent issue, right? As soon as I found out it was a silent issue, I actually grabbed like more than one copy of this, and it was fantastic, right? I still haven't read the silent issue for G.I. Joe, I haven't got my hands on it yet, but I wanted to read through this, I saw, I've seen some of the pages for the G.I. Joe silent issue, it looks super cool, I didn't want to look at it all on the computer, I wanted it in my hands, so I haven't read the rest, so I sat down and read through this, this is, I've read some Ninjak, right? This is the most badass I've seen Ninjak, and it's a silent issue, and it was beautifully told, beautifully told, and at the end of this, okay, spoiler, it'll take 15 seconds, at the end of this, he meets up with Roku, his ex-lover, and at the end we see a master dark poppets head out of the cauldron, I guess, so I just basically gave it a punchline of this, of this issue, but if you haven't read Ninjak, all you need to know about this is, he's an operative, an MI6 operative to soon to be able to rogue, he does his own thing as well, he's a ninja, he's trained in martial arts and stuff, he's badass, but this is the most badass I've seen him, like really, they did really good with this, I really like this, and definitely the next issue, and this one kicks off into Ninjak 23 and it's a story arc with the seven blades of something something, I'm definitely going to continue the reading from here, so it's a good jumping on point if you're into Ninjak, or if you want to read some Ninjak, and the last thing from Valiant I've read, and I haven't read XO, I haven't finished off XO, I have a whole bunch to go there, I've read into the 30s, so I have to read the rest, or the late 20s, and there's some other ones I haven't read, Rai, I have a Gap, and some of the other stuff, those are all the values I've caught up on, or picking up from, like Ninjak I'm going to start reading it from now on, and the other one I read, of course, of course, is Savage, Savage, Savage, Number 1, and Savage, Number 2, okay, very excited about this character, the first appearance is in Savage Number 1, it's a four issue miniseries, it tells you the history, tells you the origin, it lays down the framework pretty well, has flashbacks to the past and present, and it's good, there was something missing in the Valiant universe, and Savage is it, seriously, looking forward to this, and this thing, you know, I'll give it a like, because it's just two issues in, I'll give it a nine out of ten for now, okay, I'm very curious of where they take this thing, but the buzz on this, I guess this didn't get too much orders, because when Savage, and I grabbed a few copies of this, and I have the 1 in 10, a couple of copies of 1 in 10 and 1 in 20, but the 1 in 50, like the 1 in 20 is fetching a pretty premium price, and I think it's crazy, I don't think people should be paying that much for that, but if you're chasing covers, and there are some covers that I'm chasing and I will pay extra for, so you know, specifically for collector's base, I see why it's being done, it's sort of fun to chase covers and stuff like this, but the 1 in 50 for Savage, when it came out, the 1 in 50 on eBay sold for over $800 US, okay, that was the first sale that I saw go through, the next sale went through for $500 US, and last time I checked there's one sitting for buy it now at $400 or $500 US, okay, insane prices, the variant covers, the incentive covers for valiant comics, they're fetching ridiculous prices, okay, so that says two things, that tells me two things, people collecting valiance have extra funds, right, they're not your general teenage collector, I guess, maybe, right, because most, and that's my experience as well, most of the people that I've seen that are reading valiant, the people that I've seen that are reading valiant have them or picking up everything, right, they're doing what I'm doing, and usually they're older, late 20s, 30s, I guess we're some of the ones that new valiant comics at the beginning, and there are some newer readers coming on board, younger readers, so there are some serious collectors collecting valiance, and that's one thing it tells me, that people who are collecting valiance, there are some of the ones who are chasing the incentive covers, they have funds, so they're able to this much money I don't, right, the other thing it tells me is the print runs on these are pretty low compared to some of the other comic books out there, some of the other publishers out there, if the one in 50 is fetching that much, then one in 20, one in 10, and even though this is the, I think this is the regular cover, this is the regular cover, I'm assuming there wasn't too many orders of this either, right, because if you ordered 50 of these from your comic book retailer, they're selling for I think four dollars, right, four times 50 is 200, right, 200 dollars, then you would get the one in 10, one in 20, one in, actually you would get I guess five one in 10s, two one in 20s, and one one in 50, right, so let's assume it's going to cost you 200, let's say 225 bucks, you buy all those, you can sell the one in 50 for 800, for 500, for 400, I'm pretty sure if anyone puts up the one in 50 right now on eBay for 300 dollars, it's going to be sold, that means you bought all your comics for free, again this is just savage, some of the other ones, the one in 50s aren't going for that much, they're going for less than 100 or less than 200 at least anyway, I believe some are going for way less, there are valiant comics that have seen that are one in 120 that are going for less than 100, way less than 100, right, and there's a couple that I want to buy, I'm just waiting for the right deal, I'm checking on a regular basis, so don't expect this to happen for all of them, but there's something going on with valiant comics, hopefully it's not a bubble, but based on the stories that they're telling, the valiant, valiant comics as you know, I'm pumping this a little bit too high I think, but they're fantastic reads, so that's my review of the valiant comics that I've read so far, loved majority of them, liked a lot of them a lot, and found some of them fun reads, as for the rest of the comics, what should we do, let's see, let me put these guys here, now the odds are I could break this up I guess into more independence and some of the just sample stuff up and reading that I might be picking up, and you know there are a lot of image books that I'm reading here, so we could go either way, but the odds are I'll probably just put maybe one more thing together, definitely do a review for Tokyo Ghost, and just some randoms I've picked up, Saber Tooth Dan, just some independence, I like independence, I'll give you my review of hillbilly that's for sure, Albatross I believe, yeah Albatross comics, Eric Powell, and I'm reading actually three issues from Eric Powell right now, and I haven't read Goon, I came on, I found Eric Powell after Goon was, you know just recently, so at some point I'm going to read Goon, after shock comics, I'm reading after shock comics, so Captain Kid, animosity for sure, for sure I'll give you my review of I Hate Fairland, black, full black mass comics for sure, this cover is crazy, this cover is insane, I picked up one, I picked up this, I think it's three issues, is it three, where are we at, three issues deep, I had to go back to the comic book store and I picked up some extra copies of this, just blows me away, cover for our times, cover for a long time, for a long time, I might frame this one and put it beside a picture of, who was the original person, not Nino Simone, strange fruit, Billie Holiday, I might frame this one with a picture of Billie Holiday and Nino Simone in there or something, killer or be killed, at Brewer Baker, just some of the other comics that I'm reading, so we'll do another, the one present back, oh yeah, and Terry Moore started another series, Motor Girl, so we'll take a look at that, so we'll do one more review comic before we get into the comic book readings, those are my valiant reads, that's what I'm staying up with and from now on I'm not going to allow myself to fall behind with valians because XO has ended, Rathad, Eternal Warrior has ended, Bloodshot has ended, Rai has ended, Divinity 3 started, Savage has started and they're in 2017, they're going to start a few other ones, so from now on I'm not going to let myself fall behind, I'm going to stay up with Ninjak, okay, and those are my reviews for valiant, I'd be reading all of them, I like all of them and Archer and Armstrong, even though I just gave it an okay made out of 10 ratings or something like this, it's getting more and more interesting, one thing I liked about the Archer and Armstrong series from 2012, it showed us the zaniness, the craziness of the world, all the different sex involved and the sex from the world are coming back, all the one percenters and I even the talking bear is a new introduction and gum gum is the little guy, so it's becoming fun, I'm getting into it, the last three, four issues of that was super fun to read, okay, so that's it for now, I'll see you guys in the next video that we're going to do, which is the review of the rest of the comics here, okay, thanks for watching this, I'll see you guys in the next video, bye for now.
