5000
5000 PEOPLE A WEEK WHEN WE GET THOSE +@OPEN AND THE FEDS SEND
DOWN THE EQUIPMENT.
THAT IS GOOD NEWS.
ANOTHER PIECE OF GOOD NEWS IS
THAT OUR FIRST TWO PATIENTS
WENT HOME WELL.
GETTING THE CORONAVIRUS IS A
BAD THING, BUT NOT NECESSARILY
WILL IT LEAD TO LONG-TERM
IMPAIRMENT OR DEATH IN EVERY
PERSON.
PERSON.
PERSON. THE FACT THAT IT +@HAS A HIGHER
THE FACT THAT IT +@HAS A HIGHER@ MORTALITY THAN THE FLU BY A
LONG SHOT MORTALITY RATE AND
THE FACT THAT IT SPREADS SO
EASILY HAS US WORKING+@ TO KEEP
THAT OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.
MOST PEOPLE GET THIS DISEASE
AND WILL RECOVER FROM IT.
WE HAD FIVE CASES TODAY AND ONE
OF THOSE IS OUR SECOND
CONFIRMED CASE OF COMMUNITY
SPREAD.
SPREAD.
SPREAD. COMMUNITY SPREAD MEANS THERE IS
NO TRAVEL EXPLANATION OF THEM
GETTING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT HAVE
HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 48 HOURS
THAT HAVE LED TO CHANGES AND
+@TIGHTENING OF RESTRICTIONS AN
I WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE WHO
WATCHED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PRESS
CONFERENCE, WHAT MY FRIEND, DR.
ANTHONY FAUCI, SAID.
DR. FAUCI SAID IF YOU ARE
LOOKING AT THE DATA FOR TODAY,
YOU ALWAYS FIND IT DAYS BEHIND.
WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO HERE+@
AND I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND
THIS, WE ARE TRYING TO B+@E
AGGRESSIVE ON THE FRONT-END. AS
A RESULT, HUNDREDS, IF NOT
TH+@OUSANDS OF LESS CASES WERE
THE TOWN DOWN THE ROAD THAT
WAITED FOR OVER A WEEK TO ACT.
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO
DO, GET AHEAD OF THIS.
IT IS A CHALLENGE THAT WE HAVE
AND I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THAT
CHALLENGE.
CHALLENGE. THE REASON FOR THE BUYERS
CLOSING, IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT
THE WHITE HOUSE PUT OUT AND
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID, AND
THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID, IN
STATES WITH EVIDENCE OF
COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION, WHICH
WE HAVE, BARS, RESTAURANTS,
FOOD COURTS, GYMS AND OTHER
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR VENUES WHERE
GROUPS OF PEOPLE CONGREGATE,
SHOULD BE CLOSED. +@
THIS IS A MESSAGE TO THE
GOVERNORS OF THOSE STATES AND
HERE IS OUR CHALLENGE. I'VE
TALKED TO THE STATE PRIVATELY
ABOUT THIS AND I WILL TALK TO
THE PUBLIC, N+@OW.
IF DALLAS COUNTY ACTS
AGGRESSIVELY AND IF PEOPLE HAVE
CARS AND WE ALL LIVE, THERE IS
2.7 MILLION IN DALLAS AND 7.6
MILLION IN THE METROPLEX.
IF ALL THIS ACCOMPLISHES IS
THAT THE BARS AND DALLAS COUNTY
CLOSE AND THERE'S THREE TIMES
AS MANY PEOPLE IN THE BARS IN
THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES AND
THEN ALL THOSE PEOPLE GET ON
THE ROADS TO TAKE A LONGER DRIVE
HOME, WE HAVEN'T DONE MUCH TO
KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE.
WE'VE DONE ALL THAT WE CAN.
THIS GOVERNMENT WILL DO ALL
THAT WE CAN TO KEEP YOU SAFE,
BUT WE NEED OUR GOVERNOR AND
OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS TO COME +@
TOGETHER. THE ONLY WAY TO DO
THAT IS THROUGH THE STATE.
WE NEED THE STATE TO COME IN
AND LAY OUT PARAMETERS ON THAT.
I HOPE THAT THEY WILL.
IT'S IMPORTANT, ALSO, +@TO
REMEMBER THAT THERE'S TWO
REASON+@S WHY DALLAS COUNTY IS
DIFFERENT FROM THE SURROUNDING
COUNTIES.
COUNTIES.
COUNTIES. WE ALL ARE IN THIS TOGETHER.
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOT
COMMUNITY SPREAD AND THE OTHER
BIG COUNTIE+@S AND THERE MAY NO
BE A CASE IN SOME SMALLER
COUNTIES IN THE METROPLEX+@, WE
ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
THE FACT THAT WE HAVE COMMUNITY
SPREAD IN NOT ONE, BUT TWO
PLACES IN DALLAS COUNTY, IT'S
BEEN DOCUMENTED ON THE SMALL
AMOUNT OF TESTING THAT WE'VE HAD
. IT'S MORE THAN THE REST OF
+@
. IT'S MORE THAN THE REST OF THE STATE, BUT RELATIVELY SMALL
TO THE 5000 A WEEK WE ARE ABOUT
