A
A POUND
A POUND AT ALBERTSONS AND BONDS PRICE SPENT WELL MANY ARE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING TO GET BACK
TO THE GYM TO FEEL THE BERN.
SOME JUST WANT GET BACK TO
WORK. TIRED OF THOSE AT HOME
WORKOUTS, RIGHT? SAN DIEGO
COUNTY SUPERVISOR JIM DESMOND
HIT THE GYM EARLIER THIS WEEK
TO PREVIEW THE NEW PROTOCOLS IN
PLACE TO KEEP YOU SAFE. HE
JOINS US NOW HERE THIS MORNING.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE,
SUPERVISOR. APPRECIATE IT. ERIC
STOWE, THANKS FOR HAVING. I
KNOW YOU RECENTLY TOURED A
FITNESS CENTER. WHAT DO YOU
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THESE GYMS
REOPENING HERE? WHAT CHANGES
CAN MEMBERS EXPECT WHEN THEY DO
SHOW UP FOR THOSE WORKOUTS?
WELL, I WAS ABLE TO FIT
ATHLETICS WHICH IS OVER AT
BELMONT PARK THERE BY
THE ROLLER COASTER RIDE TOURED
THEIR FACILITY AND THEY YOU
KNOW, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW
THEY HAD EVERYTHING SET UP AND
READY TO OPEN FOR TOMORROW.
THEY HAD DIFFERENT ARROWS ON
THE GROUND, FOUR LANES FOR
PEOPLE TO COME IN AND
THE SOCIAL DISTANCING THAT YOU
KNOW THE PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE TO
STAND IF THEY'RE WAITING TO GET
CHECKED. ALSO WHEN THEY GET
CHECKED IN THEY GET THEIR OWN
PERSONAL DISINFECTANT BOTTLE SO
THAT THEY CAN CLEAN OFF
THE MACHINES AFTER THEY'RE DONE
AND THEY HAVE TO HAVE
RESERVATIONS AS LIKE A TWO HOUR
WINDOW. YOU GET TO WORK OUT FOR
AN HOUR AND 30 MINUTES AND THEN
THE OTHER 30 MINUTES THE STAFF
COMES IN AND DOES ANOTHER DEEP
CLEANING ON ALL THE EQUIPMENT
AND THE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HAD
EVERY OTHER MACHINE CLOSED OFF.
SO IT WAS REALLY PROFESSIONALLY
DONE. THEY HAD THE WHOLE STAFF
THERE AND THEIR THEY'RE
EMPOWERING THEM, PUT THEIR
EMPLOYEES TO YOU FOR SOCIAL
DISTANCING AND MAKE SURE
EVERYBODY'S YOU KNOW YOU KNOW,
DOING IT PROPERLY AND MAKING
SURE EVERYTHING IS CLEAN AND
REALLY WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IS
WITH ALL BUSINESSES IS BUILD UP
THAT CONSUMER CONFIDENCE SO
PEOPLE WILL START COMING AND
CONTINUE TO COME. SUPERVISOR
DESMOND, MOVIE THEATERS,
WINERIES, THE ZOOS CAMPS, POOLS
REOPENING. THEY'RE GETTING
THE OK. THEY DON'T NECESSARILY
HAVE TO REOPEN. WHAT IS
THE MESSAGE? SO PEOPLE AS WE
RETURN TO SOMEWHAT NORMALCY?
WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT SAME
MESSAGE IS THAT WE STILL HAVE
TO FOLLOW THE PROTOCOLS. YOU
KNOW THAT THE PROTOCOLS WE
FOLLOWED HIM. THAT'S WHAT GOT
US HERE. WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO
DO THAT WITHIN YOU KNOW,
THE WORST THING THAT CAN
POSSIBLY HAPPEN IS, YOU KNOW,
EVERYBODY HAS A VIDEO CAMERA IN
THEIR PHONE AND SO YOU KNOW, TO
SEE THE VIDEO AND YOU KNOW,
COME OUT THERE THAT IS SHOWING
PEOPLE NOT FOLLOWING THOSE
PROTOCOLS. AND SO THAT'S KIND
OF THE BEST DEVICES IS MAKE
SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE
YOU'RE YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE
EMPOWERED HEARD TO TO MAKE SURE
THAT DOES THOSE STAY IN PLACE
SO PEOPLE CAN CONTINUE TO COME
BACK. BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED.
YOU KNOW, CHURCHES AND MOVIE
THEATERS BOTH HAVE THE SAME
RESTRICTIONS RIGHT NOW. THEY
CAN ONLY OPERATE AT 25 PERCENT
OR 100 PEOPLE MAX. YOU KNOW,
I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU KNOW, COUNT
THE NEXT STEPS, BE MAYBE WE
KNOW WE MOVE INTO MORE OF
THE GATHERINGS. HIS HOTELS THEY
CAN OPEN BUT THEY CAN ONLY HAVE
INDIVIDUAL TOURISM. TOURISM OR
YOU KNOW, USING THE ROOMS. BUT
AS FAR AS THE MEETING ROOMS,
THE BANQUET ROOMS OF WEDDINGS,
THOSE TYPES OF GATHERINGS ARE
STILL NOT CLEAR. AND SO WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, IN
MOVING INTO THE NEXT PHASE,
MAYBE GETTING THESE MORE PEOPLE
INTO THE GATHERINGS THAT WE'RE
ABLE TO CONTINUE THAT SOCIAL
DISTANCING. IF WE DO THAT NOW
WE CAN YOU KNOW, AS WE'VE
PROVEN TO THE GOVERNOR, WE CAN
DO IT, WE'VE DONE IT AND WE'LL
CONTINUE TO AND IT'S NOT JUST
EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE TO FOLLOW
THESE PROTOCOLS. I MEAN WE'RE
ALL BEING ASKED TO FOLLOW THESE
SAFETY GUIDELINES. I MEAN THIS
IS A KIND OF AN HONOR SYSTEM
REALLY FOR PEOPLE IN
THE COMMUNITY. I MEAN WHAT WHAT
IS THE COUNTY DOING TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE ISN'T A SECOND
WAVE THAT COULD HAPPEN? WELL,
WELL WHAT WE'VE DONE IS DO OUR
THROUGH OUR COUNTY HEALTH
OFFICER WILL MOVE AND HAS PUT
IN PLACE THERE'S ABOUT A DOZEN
TRIGGERS THAT YOU KNOW, THAT
HAVE BEEN DETERMINED IF WE GET
SO MANY BREAKOUTS OR WE GET SO
MANY TESTING OF TESTING
POSITIVE OR CERTAIN HOSPITAL
CAPACITIES GET GET
MARGINALIZED. THERE'S SO
THERE'S ABOUT A DOZEN TRIGGERS
AT THE LAST REPORT ALL
THE TRIGGERS HAD GREEN LIGHTS A
KIND OF A RED LIGHT YELLOW
LIGHT GREEN LIGHT TO PROTOCOL.
THEY'RE ALL GREEN LIGHTS RIGHT
NOW. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE
TRACKING AND LOOKING AT THOSE
TRIGGERS DAILY TO SEE OK, ARE
WE STARTING GETTING THE YELLOW
OR WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO AND
MAYBE WE NEED TO PUT SOME MORE
ENFORCEMENT OR PROTOCOLS YOU
KNOW, REMINDERS OUT THERE THAT
YOU KNOW HOW WE GOT HERE AND
HOW WE NEED TO STAY HERE IS BY
FOLLOWING THOSE HEALTH SAFETY
PROTOCOLS. SUPERVISOR DOESN'T
WE GOT TO WRAP IT. I WANT TO
ASK YOU ONE LAST THING COUNTY
LEADERS ARE SAYING ALTHOUGH
MORE PLACES ARE REOPENING, THEY
CAUTION THAT STRICT STAY AT
HOME ORDERS ARE IN PLACE. SOME
SAY THIS IS CONFUSING A MIXED
MESSAGE. WHAT DO YOU SAY? I AM
AS CONFUSED AS EVERYONE ELSE ON
THAT ONE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU
GO TO A RESTAURANT WITH ANOTHER
COUPLE AND SIT DOWN AND YOU
KNOW, HAVE YOU HAVE A MEAL? SO
I THINK THE GATHERINGS WE NEED
TO KIND OF THE NEXT BOARD
MEETING I'M GOING TO TRY TO
ADDRESS HOW HOW ARE WE REALLY
HANDLING YET BECAUSE IT IS A
CONFUSING MESSAGE OUT THERE IS
THE LOCKDOWN STILL IN PLACE OR
IS IT NOT? CAN WE GATHER WITH
MORE THAN ONE PERSON RIGHT NOW?
SO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THAT IS AN AREA OF CONFUSION
AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET IT
CLEARED UP SOON. ALL RIGHT,
SUPERVISOR, REALLY APPRECIATE
YOUR TIME HERE THIS MORNING.
AND PLEASE
