TRANSCRIPT:
DEAF INTERPRETER: Hello my name is Alexis interpreting for Governor Newsom’s press conference today with three points.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: My first point today is about vaccines for COVID-19 which will hopefully help us slow the spread and keep COVID-19 positive numbers as low as possible. Even with the vaccine, there is no 100% guarantee that you will not catch COVID-19. Same thing with flu shots, when you get a flu shot, there is no promise that you will not get the flu. We have been working with one company to provide 45 million vaccines for COVID-19.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: America is divided into 50 states. Those 45 million vaccines will be divided to all 50 states. California will get about 12% of the 45 million vaccines which equals 1 to 2 million total vaccines.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Those 45 million vaccines have been made by two different companies seen here.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Everyone who wants the vaccines must get two shots within 21 days (3 weeks). Once California gets our vaccines, we will call people in to get their shots by groups.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: We will work closely with medical experts, scientists, researchers, biologists, and others who will make sure that how we give out COVID-19 vaccine shots that we do it the right way without making people become sick or sicker. We want to start with our experts when the vaccines arrive hopefully in December of this year. That is our hope. After we go through our own test with experts, we want to start vaccines to the public in 2021.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: We will not be able to get everyone in for vaccines right away, we need to start with different groups one after the other starting with those who have the highest chance of getting the virus to those who have the lowest chance of getting the virus.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Before we start giving our vaccinations we want to be sure we have all the supplies we need.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Some of the vaccines require ultra cold storage of below -70 degrees celsius. Other vaccines require cold storage below -20 degrees celsius.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: The state’s California Immunization Registry (CAIR) is the system currently in place to handle the related data. This system able to keep track of who has had the vaccine and who hasn’t, who was isolated for those three weeks and who did not. Who did recover from COVID-19 and who did not. If we see that the vaccines are working, then we will ask the two companies to make more so that we don’t run out. As you go out and socialize you see that people are wearing masks. Look at me and my mask. See the mask below my nose. That is not okay because you can still get COVID-19 germs in through the nose and can spread it out from your nose too. See me cover my nose and mouth with my mask. That is how you should wear your mask to slow the spread. I now you are tired of wearing a mask. I know it is hard to breath. But please wear your mask. Wait until you are alone, alone in your car, alone at home, then you can take off your mask and take a deep breath. Don’t take deep breaths without a mask while you are in the same space with other people.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Now for an update on the number of COVID-19 positive caes. See the white text. While numbers of people in hospitals and ICU have gone down we don’t want to get too comfortable and think everything is okay when the virus is still going on and going up in some areas. Please stay safe. For the number of people who have taken the COVID-19 tests (nose swab, mouth swab, blood tests) see the white text.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Remember our four-tiered county color coding system with purple, red, orange yellow. Let me show you how many counties are in each color group. See white text.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Remember, the goal is for all counties to keep moving down the tiers and get to yellow. Keep working hard to do your part to slow the spread of COVID-19. This is serious and needs everyone to help.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: Now for my third and final point: California wildfires.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: The fires that we have right now are huge. Really huge!
GOVERNOR NEWSOM: There have been 31 deaths in this wildfire season. Our hearts are with them. Last week with the high winds, our firefighters have been working hard to get control of the fires. Thank you to all of our firefighters who are trying to get these fires to stop. Again, I know you are tired of all of our reminders but again, because I care about each of you, follow our guidelines, wash your hands, avoid contact with other people, do not socialize more than you need to. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Thank you!
