MORE ABOUT THIS AND OTHER THINGS HAPPENING IN
AUSTIN-- IS MAYOR STEVE
ADLER!
ADLER!
ADLER! GOOD MORNING, MAYOR!
CORONAVIRUS NUMBERS ARE CLIMBING. MANY
OF OUR VIEWERS HAVE WRITTEN IN
ASKING
ASKING YOU, AS MAYOR, TO IMPOSE THE RULES NEEDED TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH. ARE YOU
CONSIDERING ANOTHER STAY
HOME ORDER IN THE NEAR FUTURE..
PERHAPS AFTER
PERHAPS AFTER
THANKSGIVING? STARTING TODAY.. HUNDREDS OF TEXAS
HOSPITALS ARE SET TO START
RECEIVING DOSES OF A NEW
TREATMENT DRUG FOR THE
CORONAVIRUS. DO YOU HAPPEN
TO
TO KNOW
TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT?
IN
IN ONE
IN ONE OF
IN ONE OF YOUR ONLINE UPDATES YOU MENTIONED A HICCUP WITH "CONTACT TRACING."
IT SEEMS PEOPLE
WHO HAVE THE VIRUS DON'T ALWAYS
WANT TO BE HONEST
OR OPEN WITH WHERE THEY WERE AND
WHO THEY WERE
WITH. THAT'S NOT HELPFUL. HOW DO
YOU PLAN TO FIX
THAT?
THAT? IS
THAT? IS THERE A WAY AROUND IT? HEALTH INSURANCE IS CRITICAL, ESPECIALLY
DURING THIS PANDEMIC, BUT IT'S
NOT READILY AVAILABLE TO
MANY. THERE IS HELP AVAILABLE
THOUGH. ENROLLMENT IS
OPEN NOW FOR AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
COVERAGE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT RESOURCES
AVAILABLE.
WHERE CAN PEOPLE GO ONLINE TO
SEE IF THE CAN
QUALIFY?
QUALIFY? PROP A PASSED. THOSE WHO VOTED AGAINST THIS
TRANSPORTATION PROJECT CALL IT A
WASTE OF MONEY THAT'S GOING TO
COST US A FORTUNE. WHAT WOULD
YOU LIKE TO SAY TO CONVINCE THEM
OTHERWISE? WE JUST
CELEBRATED VETERAN'S DAY. AND IT
HAPPENS TO BE "VETERAN CAREER
WEEK" THIS WEEK. TELL US ABOUT
THIS INITIATIVE BETWEEN YOUR
OFFICE AND THE CITY TO HELP
VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES FIND
EMPLOYMENT.
EMPLOYMENT.
THANK
