9.3 -> prepare the North Texas mass critical
11.88 -> care plan for both pediatrics and adults
15.5 -> announce to you a difficult decision but
18.63 -> one based on science Dallas County will
22.74 -> move to a safer at home order this is
25.98 -> also known as a shelter-in-place order
29.06 -> this order is our best chance to flatten
33 -> a curve here in Dallas County and save
35.399 -> as many lives as possible I know there
39.48 -> will be economic hardship and business
42.239 -> closures with this order and it makes me
45.18 -> sick that we were at this point my hope
50.579 -> is that President Trump had members of
55.62 -> both the Republican Party and the
58.079 -> Democratic Party in Congress called me
61.77 -> last night and pledged to me that they
64.739 -> were working hard on the stimulus
66.299 -> package that would be hopefully in their
68.939 -> minds the first of many and I reiterated
74.79 -> - to all who called me the importance
78.93 -> that our people need money while they
82.35 -> are at home and to buy life's
85.619 -> necessities that our people cannot have
89.82 -> disruptions in their services while they
93.659 -> are at home and that our people cannot
96.54 -> lose their homes and that of equal
100.229 -> importance when we come out of this on
102.63 -> the other side and we will come out of
104.64 -> this on the other side that jobs and
108.38 -> businesses particularly small businesses
111.689 -> that will be most affected and their
115.799 -> employees by this situation and the need
120.84 -> for these orders will come out with
124.77 -> their livelihoods intact
129.289 -> I want to show you I want to say a
131.599 -> couple of words about it and then I'm
133.76 -> going to turn it over to Phil to explain
136.909 -> it more because before we talk about the
139.04 -> shelter-in-place order I want you to
141.14 -> understand why that is do I need to take
145.909 -> this all right and I'll give it to Phil
153.59 -> when I'm done this is a graph you can
156.889 -> get this online we'll make sure that
158.75 -> stations make this available it's from
160.819 -> kovat act now this is the graph for the
164.659 -> state of Texas all right this black line
168.349 -> is our available hospital beds see that
173.68 -> thank God that the governor has has
179.419 -> acted now so that our state won't see
182.45 -> this our state now that this is a
187.25 -> statewide ban and I was so in hopes that
189.5 -> this would be statewide and then I would
191.93 -> not be standing here tonight and it's
193.849 -> and we still need it to be regional and
195.979 -> statewide this is shelter in place this
198.799 -> is where we are now this is how many
201.65 -> hospital beds we have this is May 23rd
205.78 -> this is the number of people if we stay
210.379 -> with social distancing that will need to
214.31 -> be in the hospital well we have this
217.609 -> many beds this is why we're calling on
221.69 -> the North Texas business community to
224.629 -> create ventilators to retool every
227.629 -> manufacturing facility that can and make
231.139 -> ventilators and nppes and other vital
234.65 -> equipment there's not much good news and
238.189 -> or easy choices in this blue a shelter
241.189 -> in place this is not my idea of what it
245.18 -> looks like this is what the medical
247.069 -> scientists and you know science at this
249.319 -> point on a novel virus is is a best
252.319 -> guess but it's a best guess based on the
254.989 -> science the data and what they're seeing
256.729 -> in the other countries that are farther
259.31 -> ahead of us on this terrible outbreak
262.86 -> this folks is safer at home God willing
269.129 -> this and the mass production of
271.56 -> ventilators will keep us from the
273.9 -> specter of rationing care and so Phil do
278.219 -> you want to add some things to that and
279.9 -> I'll explain you were different Mike oh
283.219 -> yeah sure as the judge said you know
287.759 -> these models are based on some of the
289.68 -> Imperial College study modeling that was
292.68 -> has been out there it shows like the
296.819 -> critical point
298.05 -> April 13th or April 12th if the no
302.46 -> action of when we would hit that
305.539 -> overload for the hospitals with the
308.37 -> current setting of our social distancing
313.68 -> the critical point is marked at April
316.65 -> 28th when we would exceed the number of
320.639 -> hospital beds in Dallas County but as
323.25 -> you can see both with the this other
327.569 -> bottom one is three months of the actual
329.43 -> wuhan style level of total lockdown but
333.3 -> this is shelter in place which is very
334.979 -> similar to the demand on hospital beds
338.61 -> on that other chart you can see
342.089 -> estimated deaths this is for Texas wide
344.61 -> not specific to Dallas County but
346.339 -> estimated 583 thousand deaths if there
349.86 -> were no actions with the current social
352.229 -> distancing about four hundred thirty
354.779 -> thousand deaths in Texas however then
357.36 -> with the shelter in place about five
360.15 -> thousand deaths in Texas so dramatic
362.699 -> reductions that would be seen that are
365.52 -> according to these modeling estimates
367.639 -> with this implementation
380.08 -> as I've said the goal of this order is
383.57 -> never to exceed our hospital capacity
386.419 -> and minimize the catastrophic outcomes
389.27 -> we are seeing in other countries because
391.34 -> they waited too long we have seen deaths
394.37 -> in Dallas County we announced one this
398.389 -> morning
399.169 -> it's sad news to inform you that another
402.199 -> person has died in the last few hours
409.15 -> the simple truth is that the numbers
411.8 -> tell me that we must act swiftly we are
416.78 -> headed to a point of no return if we
419.96 -> continue to dawdle and well I know what
426.889 -> we must do the powers of my disposal
429.919 -> can't do it without all of you and for
434.21 -> that matter we can't do it without at
437.15 -> least our regional partners I'm hopeful
440.63 -> that in doing this action and I spoke to
443.93 -> the Harris County judge and they're
445.88 -> committed to doing the same linear dalgo
449.51 -> is an amazing leader there and they're
451.31 -> facing community spread as well I
453.159 -> believe that that will happen soon and
455.96 -> I'm hopeful that the governor will
457.82 -> reconsider I was very hopeful that this
460.97 -> would be statewide didn't know what the
463.789 -> answer would be the DFW Hospital Council
466.699 -> and many of us had implored him before
469.61 -> the conference today and and I
471.71 -> appreciate the difficult situation that
473.63 -> he is in but I really believe it is
477.11 -> imperative that this is larger in Dallas
481.43 -> County so I would implore him to to
483.979 -> reconsider you know for instance in
486.919 -> Dallas County we saw a doubling of the
488.599 -> cases today and we're gonna continue to
491.33 -> see that rapid rapid growth like
493.46 -> everyone else who has community spread
496.009 -> and COBIT on this earth has experienced
499.55 -> and so we cannot afford to wait I was
503.18 -> heartened by Tarrant County yesterday
507.81 -> moving to mere Dallas's previous orders
513.39 -> and the orders that we passed yesterday
515.099 -> I'm very hopeful and I know that the
518.19 -> same doctors who were talking to me are
520.5 -> the same doctors that are talking to the
522.63 -> county judges and the four largest
524.61 -> counties and I would assume perhaps some
527.4 -> of the smaller ones so I'm very hopeful
529.41 -> and that this will quickly be adopted
531.66 -> across the Metroplex because as you can
535.62 -> see if it's not we won't be in the blue
543.68 -> we'll be somewhere in between where we
546.54 -> could be in the blue if we acted
548.49 -> together and where the oranges but
551.61 -> together we can do this now everybody
562.44 -> has a role to play up talked about what
564.33 -> I'm imploring our government leaders who
567.15 -> have the power to protect you to do but
570.27 -> you have a huge role to I'm gonna go
573.48 -> through this word I'm gonna spend as
574.83 -> much time with you is it takes to go
576.63 -> through it and answer all these people's
577.98 -> questions because I recognize when I'm
579.96 -> answering their questions I'm answering
581.46 -> your questions but after it's explained
584.64 -> to you they're gonna be aspects of it
586.62 -> you're not gonna like there's aspects of
589.47 -> it that I don't like but we have got to
593.01 -> do this and we've got to do it together
594.72 -> and we we got to help each other do it
597.089 -> guys so with that said let me begin to
605.52 -> go I'm gonna give you the first the

1576.419 -> homes that are watching your policies
1581.519 -> are good you're really stepping up
1583.909 -> requiring people to take their
1586.769 -> temperature before they come in that is
1588.72 -> great that's not a requirement its order
1591.659 -> but it's an extra requirement that you
1593.039 -> have but once you understand you cannot
1597.48 -> stop and should and shall not stop our
1600.59 -> EMTs who responding to calls and asked
1604.799 -> them to say this happened more than once
1606.45 -> and I everybody's trying hard at betty's
1608.61 -> well meaning when the EMT gets there are
1611.01 -> EMTs need to get to the patient
1613.88 -> immediately
1615.059 -> whatever your policies are win the

1624.59 -> gonna open it up to questions any
1626.94 -> questions you all may have for the
1628.11 -> airfield yeah I will repeat the
1636.83 -> questions terms in the most basic
1639.769 -> situations day anyone watching this
1644.6 -> explain with allowing people to still go
1655.769 -> through the drive-thru or the grocery
1657.179 -> store I mean code enforcement but in the
1661.59 -> basic terms explain well sure if you're
1666.029 -> not working for one of those essential
1667.38 -> businesses if you're not out taking a
1669.6 -> walk or a jog in the neighborhood six
1671.37 -> feet away from everybody else or going
1673.86 -> to the grocery store the doctor you
1676.559 -> should not be out okay and we have a lot
1680.82 -> going on folks we're about to see a wave
1683.1 -> of first responders as we go out to help
1686.97 -> people go down
1688 -> and be quarantined okay you've already
1690.94 -> seen two or three police but the more
1692.86 -> this happens and the more our heroic
1696.22 -> first responders go out they go down and
1698.86 -> then there's less of them so I need you
1701.38 -> to police yourselves now police yourself
1704.11 -> and offenders will do it for you but but
1708.91 -> let us focus on life-saving activities
1713.11 -> and enforcing keeping the peace from
1716.86 -> serious and violent crimes I don't know
1729.25 -> how many we saw today at each place it
1735.52 -> was pretty low actually and hello Stavis
1739.36 -> Fieldhouse in South Dallas after the
1741.19 -> first couple hours only 11 people I
1743.02 -> don't know what it ended up being last I
1747.19 -> don't know the numbers for either for
1748.63 -> today but AAC last night was like all
1752.53 -> day long
1753.31 -> maybe like 120 or so there and you know
1759.28 -> we people may ask well why can't we
1761.35 -> loosen those restrictions or other
1762.85 -> certain federal things that play here
1764.98 -> too but as dr. Falchi said yesterday in
1770.17 -> president Trump's conference folks we
1773.44 -> are critically low on ppes
1775.66 -> when we give you a test and you're
1778.93 -> asymptomatic and have no fever
1781.63 -> it burns a PP e we're getting gonna get
1785.32 -> to the place where the health care
1787.57 -> heroes that you need to stay healthy so
1791.5 -> when your child goes to the hospital
1793.42 -> there's someone there that can take care
1795.22 -> of your child or your your yourself or
1798.19 -> your mom they gotta have the big year
1803.35 -> that's why I'm also calling on garment
1805.12 -> manufacturers and we've had great
1806.74 -> outpouring since last night of people
1809.35 -> who are willing to retool on that and
1811.86 -> getting us talking about getting SPPs
1816.45 -> you know we got our first delivery order
1819.34 -> today from Ben distillery for our
1822.45 -> 55-gallon drums of and bottles they're
1826 -> bottling it for us too
1827.29 -> I don't know if it looks like vodka and
1829 -> seen the bottles but we are getting
1831.22 -> bottles from them small bottles and big
1834.22 -> bottles that our first responders can
1836.74 -> use and that's that's critical and for
1839.62 -> those of you who and just remember if
1842.02 -> the first responders go down or the
1844.63 -> health care workers go down it's like a
1847.69 -> war and your army has gone down and that
1851.02 -> enemy it will take you know advantage of
1854.65 -> that and more and more people will get
1857.11 -> sick and and pay the ultimate price what
1860.05 -> other questions the projections it
1866.83 -> what's named the scientists into the
1868.12 -> projects Coby act Nagpur is where the
1877.27 -> motto is bi-state you can click on each
1879.61 -> state this is specifically for the Texas
1881.35 -> it shows all the assumptions that are
1883.42 -> made and I want to make a point to
1888.28 -> people too if you remember in 2012 I
1891.61 -> made a decision to spray Dallas for the
1896.11 -> West Nile virus as people began to die
1897.97 -> from that disease I did get some
1901.81 -> information it really wasn't even as
1904.24 -> advanced as this become but some
1906.82 -> information from healthcare
1908.58 -> professionals and as I said these are
1910.48 -> sophisticated wild guesses based on
1913.54 -> science if you want to see what should
1918.79 -> have been done and when it should have
1920.86 -> been done you have to wait for that
1922.72 -> peer-reviewed article in the New England
1925 -> Journal of Medicine or some other
1927.13 -> periodical you know two years from now
1929.41 -> and we cannot afford to do that it is a
1932.62 -> simple folks to the people that say well
1935.76 -> you know this is an overreaction and we
1939.55 -> shouldn't have to do this I have yet I
1944.71 -> found plenty of
1946.36 -> business owners that pill away and I
1948.25 -> respect you and I hate this but I
1950.68 -> haven't been able to find a doctor you
1954.43 -> know you can usually find an expert on
1957.67 -> every on each side of everything but at
1961.42 -> least the doctors that work in the five
1963.13 -> hospital systems and North Texas are
1965.8 -> pretty clear on what we need to do three
1972.19 -> sixty year old we'll get you more
1973.96 -> information again I don't because the
1978.85 -> fear of co but I know we went through
1980.83 -> this with Ebola where you know people
1984.43 -> had strange feelings about about that
1987.3 -> I'm talking to people outside of the
1989.62 -> families who are suffering with the loss
1991.09 -> of a loved one so I'm not saying the
1993.64 -> names of the persons do you I can tell
1996.46 -> you there are plenty of the same names
1997.9 -> of those persons you know in our prayers
2000.33 -> and our prayers are with those families
2002.07 -> and with everyone who is sick with this
2006.45 -> disease and suffering with this disease
2008.22 -> and also with all the people who are
2011.51 -> just dealing with incredible hardship
2013.83 -> and stress and and from from what's
2016.89 -> happening here let me also say this
2019.26 -> we've seen a big spike in child abuse I
2023.19 -> guess you know one more home stress of
2028.26 -> being close quarters okay can get to
2030.75 -> some people I really need people to work
2034.53 -> on that and need them to report that if
2036.66 -> if we're down to our last officer and
2040.97 -> someone hurts their child that's where
2043.65 -> the officer will be going so this is the
2048.72 -> worst time for you to heart a child so
2053.34 -> if you're if you're in that small
2055.71 -> segment of the audience that struggles
2058.08 -> with that just know that you will be
2062.85 -> extremely sorry if you do that during
2065.52 -> this time what else
2068.97 -> yes ma'am
2072.809 -> you know I haven't I have not heard of
2075.369 -> that that may or may not be true as far
2079.51 -> each time that that has been said and we
2082.659 -> haven't hasn't been true but perhaps it
2085.179 -> will be and if this continues if the
2088 -> rest of North Texas does not do what
2090.04 -> we're doing I guarantee you that in a
2094.329 -> group of however meaning there are a
2095.95 -> hundred people yeah there'll be
2098.38 -> something that tests positive because
2099.94 -> this is going to be widespread red
2101.98 -> represents seven maybe it's over here
2103.809 -> red represents 70% of the population now
2108.309 -> we're past red because you know the
2112.96 -> governor has followed the lead of Dare
2117.46 -> County Travis County El Paso County
2119.799 -> Harris County and Dallas County and made
2122.92 -> this made this whole state whatever
2126.4 -> color that is I guess orange but Orange
2129.52 -> is four hundred and thirty thousand
2131.53 -> deaths we are the largest metro area in
2135.46 -> Texas we have the largest number of
2138.22 -> cases in Texas we have the largest
2142.569 -> amount of community spread in Texas and
2146.38 -> we have the largest amount of uninsured
2149.71 -> people of in metro area in the United
2153.76 -> States a quarter of a million people in
2157.66 -> Dallas County worked for a living but
2159.94 -> can't afford health insurance and don't
2162.13 -> have that afforded to them by the state
2163.809 -> of Texas like they do in California
2167.369 -> Oregon and New York because Texas didn't
2171.069 -> take our share of the federal money for
2172.93 -> Medicaid expansion so those folks aren't
2175.24 -> going to the doctor and if we don't do
2180.16 -> something it's gonna be very very very
2183.4 -> bad here we don't do all that we can do
2185.23 -> and when I'm gonna talk about this order
2186.76 -> I'm talking about you now if you don't
2188.74 -> do everything that you can do to make
2190.51 -> smart decisions if those of you who
2192.549 -> don't have health care don't find some
2194.349 -> way we're gonna move
2195.43 -> earth to help you to get these tests you
2198.94 -> know when you're sick you kind of
2200.17 -> qualify for them when you're sick and if
2203.68 -> you don't take care of yourselves then
2206.859 -> and you don't keep social distance then
2209.559 -> it's going to get very very bad under
2231.04 -> the extraordinary powers that have
2236.53 -> granted me by the Commissioner's Court
2239.349 -> who are my partners in this I have the
2244.45 -> power when it's warranted that take no
2247.54 -> pleasure at all and exercising to
2250.869 -> control the ingress and the egress of
2254.47 -> people so the order states and it is
2258.309 -> legally binding and this you know
2260.2 -> punishable by you know a fan or
2263.589 -> punishable by you know a jail sentence
2268.9 -> certainly don't want to crowd our jails
2271.119 -> right now with people who are just
2272.44 -> trying to get to work I understand this
2274.21 -> but the order reads all individuals
2276.73 -> currently living with in Dallas County
2278.619 -> not working living with in Dallas County
2281.23 -> are ordered to shelter at their place of
2284.049 -> residence what that means is it doesn't
2287.5 -> matter whether your job is in Fort Worth
2289.42 -> or whether your job is in downtown
2291.7 -> Dallas or plain-out if you live here
2293.92 -> you're under this order okay any other
2297.369 -> questions before I wrap up all malls are
2302.92 -> closed they're new unless well yeah I
2306.25 -> think they'd all be closed I can't
2307.48 -> imagine what a central business would be
2309.16 -> in a mall but if if there is an
2311.41 -> essential business in a mall and I
2313 -> suppose one door would be open for that
2315.28 -> essential business to get in there but
2316.93 -> malls are mostly retail so they'll be
2318.91 -> closed I'll tell you an example of what
2321.22 -> might be in a mall you might have a
2322.66 -> restaurant is doing takeout okay so that
2326.02 -> would obviously we might have AUP
2327.81 -> store so that was so we open so any we
2340.17 -> find that that that would fall under
2343.37 -> elective procedures okay and I can read
2347.19 -> that to you again so you know there are
2352.58 -> chiropractic would be a challenge I
2354.75 -> don't know how you're gonna do just
2356.4 -> Manzano on and be six feet away
2358.53 -> physical therapy it could happen I want
2360.93 -> to make this clear the gym closing does
2362.94 -> so let's take baylor institute of
2364.74 -> rehabilitation which is a natalia center
2367.46 -> that can remain open for rehab okay we
2372.6 -> want those stroke victims to get better
2374.22 -> right as traumatic brain injuries do to
2377.55 -> get better the gym at the bottom where
2379.89 -> people go to you know lift weights
2381.42 -> that's closed so we're going to figure
2384.21 -> out some way to have safe distancing but
2387.18 -> remember also if you're an essential
2389.43 -> health service which that is it's to the
2391.86 -> extent possible so certainly if someone
2394.23 -> is about to fall then we're not going to
2396.39 -> be six feet away from darts gonna run
2403.14 -> darts an essential service we have to be
2406.38 -> able to get to the grocery store i'm
2408.93 -> dart is one of the dark dart and you're
2411.87 -> seeing dart has considered a first
2413.52 -> responder at this point and then for
2416.43 -> testing protocols dart is one of the
2419.01 -> agencies who will be giving a lot as a
2421.23 -> first responder of hand sanitizer
2423.56 -> because you know on those buses i want
2427.13 -> people that have clean hands yes sir
2444.589 -> it's a paradise I can only imagine how
2448.68 -> difficult this situation is for you
2453.03 -> because you were a part of our community
2455.25 -> you were here working and all of these
2459.18 -> measures that President Trump and the
2461.31 -> Congress are talking about will not
2463.71 -> directly benefit you like they will your
2467.52 -> neighbor but he here's what I need you
2470.07 -> to do for this community and I know you
2472.71 -> love this community and are a part of
2474.69 -> this community and you to go to the
2476.58 -> doctor when you're sick okay I need you
2479.76 -> to stay away from the other people in
2482.49 -> your family if you're sick okay
2485.04 -> I know in Mexico right now which is one
2488.25 -> country there's a lot of misinformation
2491.099 -> the Health Minister is saying the
2493.349 -> president can't get it because of his
2495.18 -> moral fiber
2496.109 -> that's not the way obviously that this
2499.109 -> works and in this community it is we all
2502.619 -> live right on top of each other it's so
2504.75 -> important that we all exercise personal
2508.98 -> responsibility go to the doctor when
2511.08 -> we're sick or call the doctor when
2513.15 -> you're sick as we as these resources get
2516.66 -> stretched we'll be using a lot more
2518.339 -> telemedicine I think I gave that a
2536.13 -> message and that is we have to flatten
2537.869 -> the curve we have to flatten it together
2539.73 -> there's 2.7 million people in Dallas
2542.099 -> County but there's 7.6 million people in
2545.55 -> the Metroplex and there's about 30
2547.56 -> million people in the state and this is
2549.66 -> going to spread across the state and a
2552.66 -> month from now a week from now two weeks
2555.72 -> from now nobody is going to be saying
2558.599 -> thank God that I was able to go to work
2562.32 -> for an extra two weeks they're gonna be
2566.76 -> saying I wish that that my community had
2571.38 -> have acted
2571.94 -> sooner and for the elected officials
2575.36 -> what I would say is I understand how
2578.51 -> angry people are about their livelihood
2580.91 -> I do
2582.83 -> I mean firsthand all day long and every
2586.25 -> day I understand it but you don't want
2589.49 -> to be in the situation where you're
2592.22 -> trying to explain to mothers why their
2594.14 -> children can't get life-saving
2595.4 -> treatments whether grandmother can get
2597.8 -> life-saving treatments so let's all work
2599.81 -> together and together we can flatten the
2601.94 -> curve and I think all of you god bless
2604.58 -> you all North Texas we can do this every
2607.04 -> one of you you can do this you always
2609.32 -> rise to the challenge we will get
2612.47 -> through this together
2613.67 -> and please show compassion to one
2615.89 -> another god bless all we have been
2619.43 -> listening to clay Jenkins the judge of
2621.68 -> Dallas County right now as he read out
2623.48 -> and explained his latest order in its an
2626.87 -> amended order by the county judge
2628.58 -> essentially a shelter-in-place order for
2631.07 -> the residents of Dallas County he
2632.45 -> outlined essential people essential
2635.12 -> functions will continue but many
2637.19 -> restrictions here outlined in this order
2639.62 -> that we have a copy of it's a lot to
2641.78 -> digest folks so the best thing that we
2643.82 -> would refer you to do or that we would
2646.37 -> want you to do is to visit our website
2648.05 -> CBS DFW dot-com there you will have a
2651.47 -> copy of this order and you can figure
2654.26 -> out exactly where you fall in all of
2656.57 -> this and what applies to you and what
2659.12 -> doesn't but again in a nutshell county
2661.58 -> judge clay Jenkins from Dallas County
2663.59 -> saying that he is issuing an order to
2666.98 -> shelter in place he's calling it the
2669.11 -> stay is safe stay home order and he's
2672.08 -> asking people if you don't basically if
2673.97 -> you don't need to be out and about just
2675.98 -> stay home there are exemptions to go to
2678.29 -> work if you are considered in and set an
2680.06 -> essential employee there are some
2682.1 -> exemptions if you need to go get
2683.33 -> medicine if you need to go get food but
2684.98 -> really other than that things are very
2687.11 -> restricted here this is an order that
2688.82 -> will take effect beginning tomorrow
2690.65 -> March 23rd at midnight and according to
2693.62 -> this most recent amendment this is going
2695.48 -> to continue until midnight on April 3rd
2698.06 -> so a span of about a week and a half and
2700.82 -> again this is probably one of the most
2702.2 -> aggressive efforts that we have seen
2704.03 -> here locally in the north
2705.349 -> this region to once again flatten the
2707.989 -> curve as we have heard so many times
