BY TESTING THE NUMBER ON YOUR

IF YOU ARE LIKE ME YOU MAY BE
CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN AND
CANNOT DO OUTSIDE.
STATE AND LOCAL HEALTH
OFFICIALS KEEP SAYING WE SHOULD
GO OUTSIDE AND GET EXERCISE BUT
THEN THE STATE PARKS ARE CLOSED
AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE ROPED
OFF.
OFF.
OFF. WE
OFF. WE ARE WORKING TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTIONS ABOUT GOING OUTSIDE
>> HERE'S A QUICK WRITE-DOWN.
IF IT IS AS STATE PARK, OREGON
STATE PARK IT IS CLOSE BUT WE
ARE TALKING CAN'T GAMS,
TRAILHEADS EVEN SCENIC VIEW
AREAS BUT BASICALLY ANYPLACE
THAT A CROWN COULD GATHER, IT
IS GOING TO BE CLOSE.
ADVICE FROM THE OREGON STATE
DEPARTMENT OF WRECK DEPARTMENT
IF YOU HAVE PLANS FOR A LONG
DISTANCE TRIP SOMEWHERE THE
PLACE YOU ARE GOING MOST LIKELY
IS GOING TO BE CLOSE.
YOU MIGHT ASK ABOUT GOING UP TO
THE MOUNTAINS OR OUT TO THE
BACKCOUNTRY.
BACKCOUNTRY. STILL NOT A GOOD IDEA.
THAT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE
CROWDS NECESSARILY BUT BECAUSE
OF THE RISK. YOUR CAR COULD
BREAK DOWN OR YOU COULD GET HER
AN EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE
ALREADY STRESSED RIGHT NOW SO
THAT IS, ONCE AGAIN A KNOW.
SO WHAT DOES THAT LEAVE?
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS. EURO GOING TO HAVE TO CHECK ON
YOUR OWN LOCAL PARKS BUT I DO
KNOW THAT ALL 200+ PORTLAND
PARKS ARE STILL OPEN.
AT LEAST PART OF THEM.
PLAYGROUNDS, SKATE PARKS, SPORT
CORDS, SPORT FIELDS THOSE ARE
ALL CLOSED.
ALL CLOSED. THE GOOD NEWS I FOUND OUT TODAY
AT LEAST FOR PORTLAND PARKS IS
THAT THE RESTROOMS ARE STILL
OPEN.
OPEN.
OPEN. IN
OPEN. IN THE CREWS ARE OUT RIGHT NOW
PUTTING IN BRAND-NEW HANDS,
SOAP AND HAND SANITIZER
DISPENSERS IN EACH ONE OF THE
54 RESTROOMS AT PORTLAND PARKS.
SO YOU CAN GO AND SANITIZE ON
THE SPOT.
THE SPOT.
THE SPOT. HOPE THAT HELPS.
>> I WRY, DEFINITELY HOUSE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS ABOUT VACCINES AND
WHEN ONE COULD BE AVAILABLE.
I ASKED DR. CRISTIN DREW
SERRANO AT ADVANCED IS HEALTH
ABOUT THE VACCINES HE IS BOTH
HELPFUL AND HOPEFUL ABOUT AND
WHEN HE THINKS THEY COULD
BECOME AVAILABLE.
BECOME AVAILABLE. >> DEVELOPED COMING OF MAXINE
IS REALLY A PROCESS THAT TAKES
A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF.
SO I WAS JUST LOOKING TODAY,
THERE WERE OVER 20 VACCINE
CANDIDATES THAT WERE STILL IN
THE RESEARCH AROUND.
THERE WAS ONE THAT RIZZOLI WAS
APPROVED BY AND I AND I BE
WORKING JOINTLY WITH ANOTHER
COMPANY THAT BASICALLY IS A
VACCINE FOR THE SPIKE PROTEIN.
I THINK SOME OF US KNOW ABOUT
THIS WHERE THE SPIKE INTERACTS
WITH THE RESPIRATORY CELL OF THE
FBI EH TWO RECEPTOR.
THIS SEEMS TO BE PRETTY
HOPEFUL.
HOPEFUL.
HOPEFUL. ANYTHING ANY VACCINE THAT
RESPONDS IN PEOPLE THAT ARE
BEING VACCINATED AGAINST THE
RECEPTOR INTERACTION IS OFTEN
THE WAY TO GO.
>> ARE RIGHT, DR. DIRT SERINO
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. DOCTORS ARE HAVING TO GET
CREATIVE AS MANY STATES ARE
DEALING WITH A VENTILATOR
SHORTAGE BUT NEW YORK HOSPITALS
ARE PUTTING TWO PATIENTS ON MY
MACHINE.
MACHINE.
MACHINE. A MICHIGAN DOCTOR DEMONSTRATED
HOW UP TO FOUR PATIENTS COULD
SHARE A SINGLE VENTILATOR.
I ASKED DR. JOHN TORRES IF THIS
COULD ACTUALLY BE A LONG-TERM
SOLUTION.
SOLUTION.
SOLUTION. BECAUSE OF THIS A SOLUTION THAT
WOULD WORK AND IT IS DEFINITELY
A SHORT-TERM SOLUTION NOT A
LONG-TERM SOLUTION.
LONG-TERM SOLUTION. OR TECHNICAL PROBLEMS AND
ANYONE ELSE
ANYONE ELSE >> WHEN YOU HAVE PUT SEVERAL
PEOPLE ON A VENTILATOR AND THIS
WAS USED IN THE SHOOTING IN LAS
VEGAS BUT IT HELPS PEOPLE STAY
ALIVE FOR SHORT-TERM.
BUT YOU HAVE TO MEET PEOPLE ARE
MATCHED.
MATCHED.
MATCHED. THERE IS SOME VERY BIG
COMPLICATIONS BEHIND IT.
YOU CANNOT LAY PEOPLE ON IT FOR
TOO LONG.
TOO LONG.
TOO LONG. THIS IS A TEMPER RISING
MEASURE.
MEASURE.
MEASURE. RIGHT NOW THE ONES YOU'RE
HEARING ABOUT THERE USING IT
MORE ON A TRIAL BASIS JUST TO
MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A TECHNIQUE
DOWN SO THEY NEED TO USE THEM
IF IT GETS TO THAT POINT THEY
HAVE THEM.
HAVE THEM. AT THIS POINT THEY ARE NOT
HAVING TO USE THEM YET AND
HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT GET TO
THAT POINT.
THAT POINT. >> LET'S ANSWER SOME OF YOUR
QUESTIONS PER THIS PERSON WANTS
TO KNOW I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN.
IS IT SAFER FOR ME TO SHOP FOR
GROCERIES DURING SENIOR HOURS
OR REGULAR STORE HOURS PER THAT
IS FROM STEVE THAT DR. CLAY
WHEELER WHO OF WE BEEN
CONSULTING WITH SAYS BEST CASE
SCENARIO SENIORS WOULD NOT
LEAVE THEIR HOMES AT ALL AND
GET GROCERIES DELIVERED.
THAT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE BID
SHE SAYS IF THE SENIOR REALLY
NEEDS TO SHOP THE BEST TIME TO
GO IS WHEN THERE ARE FEWEST
PEOPLE IN THE STORE.
YOU KNOW SOME OF THE MAJOR
STORE CHAIN SAY THE BENEFITS OF
SENIOR SHOPPING HOURS ARE THAT
THEY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
IN THE STORE AND IT IS WHEN THE
STORE FIRST OPENS MEANING IT
WAS JUST QUEEN.
NEXT QUESTION IF THE SITUATION
WITH COVID-19 MANAGES TO SLOW
DOWN BY SUMMER WILL THERE BE A
RESURGENCE OF CASES WHEN FALL
COMES AROUND AS COLD AND FLU
SEASON STARTS AGAIN.
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION,
KELLY.
KELLY.
KELLY. THE ANSWER WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
DR. WHEELER SAYS IT IS TIME FOR
US TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE
MAGICAL 15 DAY CONCEPT AND STAR
UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A
CRISIS THAT WE WILL BE COPING
WITH FOR A LONG TIME.
WEEKS OR MONTHS.
SHE SAID THIS IS VERY SIMILAR
TO SARS AND MERS AND IN THOSE
OUTBREAKS THERE WERE TWO WAVES.
A SECOND WAVE AFTER THINGS
SETTLE DOWN.
SETTLE DOWN. THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE REALLY
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IN
THE WEEKS AND MONTHS TO COME.
WHICH IS WHY SETTING DEADLINES
TO BE OVER IS NOT HELPFUL.
OUR NEXT QUESTION IF OREGON
ONLY HAS 400 CASES WHY IS THERE
SUCH A SHORTAGE OF PPE.
THAT IS FROM JEFF PETERSON.
JEFF, THANK YOU FOR THAT IS A
GREAT QUESTION BUT BASICALLY
HEALTHCARE PERSONNEL THEY USE
PPE EVERY DAY AS PART OF THEIR
JOBS BUT NOT ALL PATIENT
ENCOUNTERS REQUIRE THE USE OF
MASS OR OTHER PROTECTIVE GEAR
IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WE
ALL KNOW THESE ARE NOT NORMAL
CIRCUMSTANCES.
CIRCUMSTANCES. SO EVEN ROUTINE PATIENT
ENCOUNTERS ARE FRAUGHT WITH THE
RISK OF TRANSMISSION OF THE
VIRUS PENCIL HEALTHCARE
PERSONNEL NEED TO USE PPE FOR
ALL PATIENT INTERACTIONS.
PLUS THERE ARE SUPPLY CHAIN
ISSUES BUT AS SOON AS PEOPLE
STARTED GETTING SCARED, THEY
STARTED PANIC BUYING, THE MESS
THEY DISAPPEARED FROM STORE
SHELVES WHICH I RESTOCKED FROM
THE SAME MANUFACTURERS WHO
SUPPLY THE HOSPITALS.
STATES ARE ALSO IN BIDDING WARS
TO GET THESE MATERIALS BUT
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING
IN YOUR QUESTIONS AND WE TRY
OUR BEST TO ANSWER THEM.
WE HAVE A SPECIAL CORONAVIRUS
