TIME TO GET TO WORK THERE.
RIGHT?
VERY GOOD.
THANKS, RILEY.
WE WANT TO START WITH SOME
OF THE LATEST HEADLINES.
THE LATEST NUMBERS.
BEARING IN MIND THESE ARE ONLY
CONFIRMED CASES.
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
SAYING NINE PEOPLE HAVE DIED
AND THERE ARE MORE THAN 500
KNOWN CASES.
IN WISCONSIN THE NUMBER IS MORE
THAN 1100 AND 13 PEOPLE HAVE
DIED.
THE PRESIDENT HAS EXTENDED
NATIONAL SOCIAL DISTANCING
GUIDELINES THROUGH APRIL 30th.
HE NOW SAYS THE HIGHEST NUMBER
OF DEATHS IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN
IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
RIGHT AROUND EASTER.
AND INSTACART WORKERS PLAN ON
STRIKING TODAY.
INSTACART IS A GROCERY DELIVERY
SERVICE AND THE WORKERS SAY
THEY'RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH
PROTECTION.
INSTACART SAYS THEY ARE MAKING
IT EASIER FOR CUSTOMERS TO TIP
AND THEY ARE GIVING FULL
SERVICE SHOPPERS HAND
SANITIZER.
THE WORKERS WANT MORE SAFETY
ITEMS.
THEY WANT HAZARD PAY AND A
DEFAULT TIP OF 10% PLUS AN
EXTRA $5 PAY PER ORDER.
THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
SAYS SEVEN OF THE NINE DEATHS
FROM THE CONFIRMED COVID-19
CASES HAVE BEEN FROM RESIDENTS
IN CONGREGATE CARE FACILITIES.
THAT INCLUDES PLACES LIKE
NURSING HOMES AND ASSISTEDLYING
FACILITIES.
21 OF THOSE CASES ARE
FACILITIES WHERE THE RESIDENTS.
11 OF THOSE CASES ARE THE
HEALTHCARE WORKERS.
WE DID TALK WITH THE OPENER OF
A LOCAL ASSISTED LIVING
RESIDENCE WHERE ELDERLY
PATIENTSLY AND THEY HAVE CARE
FROM THEIR STAFF.
SHE SAID HER SUPPLIER TOLD THEM
THEY COULDN'T GET THINGS LIKE
MASKS OR HAND SANITIZERS UNTIL
JUNE.
SHE HAD TO GO OUT AND GET THOSE
SUPPLIES ON HER OWN.
EVERY SHIFT IS CLEANING THE
DOORKNOBS, YOU KNOW THE, ALL
THE COUNTERTOPS.
QUESTION HAVE A DIETARY LICENSE
SO WE ALREADY USE BLEACH WATER
ON THERE.
BUT WE HAVE KISS INFECTANT
WIPES EVERYWHERE.
ANYONE THAT COMES INTO THE
HOUSE KNOW THEY HAVE TO ASK
HAVE THEY BEEN OUT OF THE
COUNTRY.
THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR
TEMPERATURE TAKEN.
WE'VE BEEN TAKING OUR RESIDENTS
TEMPERATURES EVERY SOMEDAY TOO.
NO VISITORS ARE ALLOWED
DURING THAT STAY AT HOME ORDER.
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
SAYS IT COULD BE TEN DAYS
BEFORE WE KNOW IF THE ORDER IS
HAVING AN IMPACT ON SLOWING
DOWN OUR PUSHING OUT THE SPREAD
OF THE DISEASE.
SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION
FOR KIDS ACROSS MINNESOTA.
SCHEDULED TO LAST THROUGH AT
LEAST APRIL 30th.
HOW SOME ETCH TOOERS WERE
GETTING READY FOR THE CHANGE.
THIS IS UNCHARTED TERRITORY
FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY.
WITH ME NOW IS ANDY WITH
BLOOMINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
YOU'VE HELPED CREATE THE GAME
PLAN.
TELL ME ABOUT WHAT THAT
STRATEGY LOOKED LIKE ON YOUR
END.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE
OFFENSIVE TO DO NAY TORE FOR
THE VIKINGS.
TECHNOLOGY, SPECIAL EDUCATION
AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE'S
NEEDS ARE MET FROM THE STUDENT
STANDPOINT.
REMOTELY IS THE KEY
COMPONENT HERE.
EVERY STUDENT HAS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECTLY
INTERACT WITH THEIR TEACHER TO
HAVE THE TANGIBLE FORMS OF
LESSON PLANS AND BE IN THAT
SHARED ENVIRONMENT.
HOW DO YOU TRY TO REPLICATE
THAT ONLINE ONLINE?
WE WORKED HARD AT THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO EMBARK ON
SOMETHING CALLED ASYNCHRONOUS
LEARNING.
HAVING OUR TEACHERS DEVELOP
STRONG LESSON PLANS.
A STUDENT CAN ACCESS IT WHEN IT
WORKS FOR THEM.
THEN BEING ABLE TO SHARE THE
INFORMATION BACK AND FORTH.
WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE HOW THIS
IS GOING TO GO.
WHAT'S ONE PIECE OF ADVICE
YOU HAVE FOR PARENTS AS THEY
START THIS KIND OF JOURNEY WITH
YOU ALL TODAY?
BE PATIENT.
THIS IS UNCHARTED TERRITORY FOR
US.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
PROVIDING THE BEST.
WE KNOW THERE'S SOME GLITCHES
THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT WE'VE GOT AN INCREDIBLE
TEAM IN BLOOMINGTON.
WE KNOW OUR FAMILIES AS WELL.
WE'LL FIGURE THIS OUT TOGETHER.
AWESOME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING
US.
APPRECIATE IT.
