>> Devin: BUT WE’RE GOING TO
BEGIN WITH FORD FIELD TURNING
INTO A MASSIVE HUB FOR THE
CORONAVIRUS VACCINE.
THE FEDS ARE STEPPING IN AND
PLEDGING TO GET THOUSANDS IN
ARMS.
>> IN A MATTER OF WEEKS, ACCESS
TO THE VACCINES IS GOING TO
EXPAND ON A MASSIVE LEVEL.
HERE ARE THE BROAD STROKES.
STARTING MARCH 22ND, ALL
MICHIGANDERS 16 YEARS OF AGE OR

ON APRIL 5TH, ALL MICHIGANDERS,
16 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER WILL

WE WANT TO KICK OFF COVERAGE
WITH SHAWN LEY TONIGHT AT FORD
FIELD WHEN THAT MASS VACCINATION
SITE IS GOING TO OPEN, SHAWN.
>> A LOT OF DETAILS TO GET TO,
WE’RE GOING TO SPELL IT OUT FOR
YOU.
WE’RE HERE, WHY?
BECAUSE OF $50 BILLION.
50 BILLION FROM THE AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN GOING TOWARDS THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AN I SIGN
THE JOB, GET THE VACCINE OUT AND
GET IT TO THE PEOPLE.
SO FORD FIELD IS ONE OF THOSE
SITES.
IT WILL OPEN UP MARCH 24TH.
YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE OF OTHER
DATES, BUT THE FORD FIELD
VACCINATION CLINIC BEGINS MARCH
24TH, IT’S SEVEN DAYS A WEEK,
EIGHT IN THE MORNING TO 8:30 AT
NIGHT.
BUT THE SIGNUP INFORMATION HAS
YET TO BE ESTABLISHED.
I’M TOLD TONIGHT, THAT WILL BE A
STATE WEBSITE THAT WILL GO LIVE
IN THE COMING DAYS, AND YOU HAVE
TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.
THE LOCAL 4 DEFENDERS TOLD YOU
ABOUT FEMA OFFICIALS TOURING
FORD FIELD ON FEBRUARY 27TH AND
THEN THEY MADE THE CALL TO MAKE
THE HOME.
LIONS A MASS VACCINATION SITE.
>> TODAY I’M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE
A FEMA SUPPORTED SITE IN
DETROIT.

MASS VACCINATION SITES IN THE
NATION.

DETROIT, A COVID HOT SPOT LAST
YEAR, DETROIT WILL NOW HELP
PROTECT THOUSANDS AGAINST THE
VIRUS.
>> THIS SITE LOCATED AT FORD
FIELD, HOME OF THE DETROIT
LIONS, HAS THE ABILITY TO
ADMINISTER 6,000 SHOTS PER DAY.
>> 5,000 SHOTS ADMINISTERED
INSIDE FORD FIELD EACH DAY
STARTING MARCH 24TH.
A MOBILE VACCINE CLINIC WILL
TAKE 1,000 DOSES INTO DETROIT’S
MOST UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS.
THERE IS NO COST.
NO INSURANCE IS NEEDED, FREE
PARKING.
WHO CAN COME FIRST?
MICHIGAN RESIDENTS CURRENTLY
ELIGIBLE THAT’S 50 PLUS WITH
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS RIGHT
NOW.
MARCH 22ND, 16 TO 49 YEAR OLDS
WHO ARE DISABLED, APRIL 5TH, ALL
ADULTS BECOME ELIGIBLE.
ALL COUNTY LEADERS SAY THIS MOVE
TO VACCINATE AT FORD FIELD IS
HUGE AS COUNTIES CONTINUE TO
STRUGGLE WITH STATE SUPPLY OF
VACCINE STILL NOT MEETING
DEMAND.
WE’RE FORTUNATE IN MACOMB
COUNTY, WE KNOW WE CAN HANDLE
MORE AND WE WANT TO, BUT UNTIL
WE SEE THAT INCREASE IN SUPPLY
WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DEAL
WITH THIS DEMAND THAT’S OUT
THERE TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW
WE SATISFY IT AS BEST WE CAN.
>> LET’S REPEAT, THE FORD FIELD
MASS VACCINATION CLINIC STARTS
ON MARCH THE 24TH.
IT’S AN EIGHT-WEEK PROGRAM, SO
IT’S JUST TWO MONTHS AND I AM
TOLD FEMA ALREADY HAS THE
VACCINE TO SUPPORT THAT 5,000 ON
THE INSIDE AND 1,000 DOSES GOING
OUT TO DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS.
COMING UP AT 6:00 WHO WILL GET
THE FIRST SLOTS TO COME INTO
FORD FIELD ONCE THE STATE GETS
THE APPOINTMENT WEBSITE UP AND
RUNNING?
EVERYONE IS OPENING THE WEBSITE
IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE
THE CRUSH OF PEOPLE.
>> EXCITING NEWS, WE APPRECIATE
IT VERY MUCH.
>> LET’S LOOK AT THE CORONAVIRUS
NUMBERS, AND THE BACK SLIDE
CONTINUES FROM THE LOOKS OF IT.
24
2403 NEW CASES IN THE PAST 24
HOURS AND THE STATE REPORTING
EIGHT MORE DEATHS OVER THE PAST
DAY.
>> Kimberly: NOW TAKE A LOOK AT
VACCINE NUMBERS, 3.4 MILLION
DOSES HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED IN
MICHIGAN WITH 2.8 MILLION SHOTS
GOING INTO ARMS.
THE FORD FIELD ANNOUNCEMENT WAS
CERTAINLY THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE
COVID RESPONSE TEAM BRIEFING
TODAY, BUT THEY DID COVER SOME
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES.
>> Devin: THERE IS A NEW PUSH TO
PROTECT CHILDREN FROM COVID AND
ILLNESSES FOR THAT MATTER AND
NEW STEPS BEING TAKEN TO MAKE
VACCINATING ADULTS EASIER, TOO.
>> MORE VACCINE IS COMING AND
NOW, SO ARE MORE PEOPLE TO DO
THE VACCINATING.
>> THE ADMINISTRATION IS
EXPANDING THE POOL OF QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONALS WHO WILL BE ABLE
TO ADMINISTER SHOTS SO THE LIST
NOW INCLUDES DENTISTS,
OPTOMETRISTS, PARAMEDICS,
PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS AND MANY
MORE, INCLUDING TRAINED MEDICAL
AND HEALTH CARE STUDENTS.
>> THERE’S NO COVID VACCINE FOR
CHILDREN YET, THE C.D.C.
DIRECTOR URGED PARENTS TO GET
THEIR KIDS CAUGHT UP ON THE
OTHER SHOTS.
>> THE C.D.C. ORDERS FOR
CHILDHOOD VACCINATIONS DROPPED
BY ABOUT 11 MILLION DOSES.
A SUBSTANTIAL AND HISTORIC
DECLINE.
AS WE WORK TO GET OUR CHILDREN
BACK TO SCHOOL, WE CERTAINLY DO
NOT WANT TO ENCOUNTER OTHER
PREVENTIBLE INFECTION OUTBREAKS
SUCH AS MEASLES AND MUMPS.
THE C.D.C. HAD UPDATED
GUIDELINES FOR CHILD CARE
CENTERS.
>> LIKE OTHER BUSINESSES AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES MANY CHILD
CARE SERVICE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN
CHALLENGED IN THEIR RESPONSE TO
THE PANDEMIC.
>> THE GUIDANCE STRESSES THE
IMPORTANCE OF CONTINUED MASK
WEARING FOR EVERYONE, AGE TWO
AND UP, EXCEPT WHEN EATING OR
SLEEPING.
IT STRONGLY ENCOURAGES CHILD
CARE WORKERS AND OTHER STAFF TO
GET VACCINATED.
ADVICE TO RESPONSE TEAM HOPES
ALL AMERICANS WILL FOLLOW.
>> WE NEED ALL AMERICANS TO GET
VACCINATED AS SOON AS IT’S THEIR
TURN, AND TO HELP YOUR FAMILY
AND FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS GET
VACCINATED AS WELL.
>> NOW, BY MAY 1ST, THE WHITE
HOUSE PLANS TO LAUNCH A WEBSITE

>> WELL, YESTERDAY’S WIND
STICKING AROUND, BUT WE’VE MADE
IT TO FRIDAY AND EVEN THOUGH
IT’S A LITTLE COOLER, A NICE
SUNNY DAY AGAIN.
>> LET’S GET OVER TO BEN AND SEE
WHAT’S IN STORE FOR SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.
HI, BEN.
>> HI, GUYS, YEAH, THIS IS SORT
OF THE TASTE OF WHAT’S TO COME
AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND, BUT
I TELL YOU THOSE WINDS PROBABLY
NOT HELPING FIREFIGHTERS AT THAT
BRUSH FIRE OR REALLY AT ANY OF
THEIR CALLS IN THE LAST COUPLE
OF DAYS.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE WINDS ARE
GOING TO SUBSIDE.
EVEN THOUGH SUSTAINED WINDS ARE
ABOUT 15 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR
RIGHT NOW, IT’S THE GUSTS THAT
ARE BACK AND THEY’RE IN THE 35
TO 40 MILE PER HOUR RANGE AND
DECREASED JUST A LITTLE BIT IN
THE LAST HOUR.
YOU CAN SEE AS WE GET INTO THE
WEEKEND, HIGH PRESSURE TAKES
OVER SO THE WIND ARE NOT A
CONCERN ON SATURDAY.
THEY MIGHT SPIKE HIGHER AS WE
GET INTO SUNDAY.
MAYBE GETTING INTO THE 10, 15
MILE PER HOUR RANGE, BUT STILL
NOTHING LIKE WHAT WE SAW TODAY
AND YESTERDAY, THE NEXT STORM
COMING OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND
YOU’LL WATCH THE SYSTEM DEVELOP
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
IN FACT, SUNDAY, DENVER IS
EXPECTING OVER A FOOT OF SNOW
AND THAT IS HEADED HERE, TELL
YOU WHAT TO EXPECT AS WE FINISH
OUT THE WEEKEND WHEN WE SEE YOU
IN A FEW MINUTES.
ALL RIGHT.
