At the moment, Ketchikan is in the "yellow zone" for COVID-19 alert levels. To keep our

community safe we all need to continue taking the following steps to keep our case

count low to avoid overwhelming our health care providers: 1. Wear a mask when 6

feet of distance can't be maintained from others. 2. Maintain social distance from

others outside of your "circle." 3. Limit gathering sizes so a minimum of 6 feet can be

maintained. 4. Get delivery/carryout/curbside food orders or dine outdoors. 5.

Continue to wash your hands regularly and use hand sanitizer when necessary.

[Music] hello i'm susan goran chair of the sonoma county board of supervisors and

thanks for viewing this morning uh for five questions with susan this morning i have

the pleasure and the honor of interviewing um alma maguion who is the vice

president of the hispanic chamber of commerce alma thank you so much for joining us

today so here's your first question let's talk about local business today and the

resilience that they are showing in the face of this pandemic how are our local latinx

businesses adopting and adapting to the new restrictions imposed by the state first

you're closed then you're open and then you're closed and how are they being

impacted yeah so first off thank you so much for the invitation it's a pleasure to be

here with you today and yes our businesses have continuously have to adapt whether

it's the requirements to reopen their business or to remain open and this is really

where we have seen the importance of having the boots on the ground approach and

being able to go out there and present the protocols to our businesses one of the

challenges that we have seen is of course how do we work through the digital divide

and that's certainly where our chamber has come into place where we've worked

very hard to go to the edb website go to the county website print out information on

the protocols and all the ordinances and deliver them directly into the hands of our

business owners so certainly that has been a challenge for both the businesses and for

our chambers but we've been able to work through it another big challenge that i've

seen has been access to funding so whether it's federal funds when it came to the

ppp loans some of our businesses were simply not eligible for these funds or they

were eligible but perhaps they were not prepared with their financials to then apply

and as we know those funds went through fairly quickly also when it comes to grants

one of the things that we have seen and i really want to voice the concerns of our

business owners that grants should not be on a first come first serve basis we really

need to focus on how as opportunities come up to apply for grants that we truly get

those into the hands of our business owners that need them so really a call out to our

county and to our supervisors that when these opportunities come up that we really

look at it through the lens of equity and really get it to the hands of the business

confirms ten additional deaths since yesterday's report. Find ages, genders, and date of

death at FloridaHealthCOVID19.gov, on the State Linelist (linked report just below the

State's dashboard). Ages of COVID deaths in Seminole County range from 34-104; the

average age is 79.9. Please note, all Seminole County COVID deaths are reported once

the medical examiner and epidemiology teams complete investigations to confirm

COVID as the cause of death, meaning there is a delay between reported date and

actual date of death. If COVID is listed on the death certificate as cause of death, that is

how the death is reported. TESTING: Find locations for testing and appointment links

at PrepareSeminole.org. With the potential for a tropical event over the weekend, sites

may be suspended until safe. If you are experiencing delays with testing reporting,

please call the Citizens Information Line at 407-665-0000 (Monday-Friday, 8:000a.m. to

5:00p.m.). Yesterday's testing positive rate was 4.8%. Once a patient is established

with a positive test, a single case is created. If an established case (patient) retests with

a positive result, a new case is not established. There have been no instances in

Seminole County of a cleared case becoming reinfected.

----------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH URGES COMMUNITY TO

TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT EACH OTHER'S HEALTH: As we continue to see the

number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 rise in our County, it is important that we all

do our part in preventing the ongoing spread. It's vital to have good hand washing

practices. Protect yourself, your family and your community from by frequently

washing your hands, avoiding touching your face and wearing a face covering in public

(required in Osceola County). Also, make sure to remember to avoid the Three Cs: -

Closed spaces with poor ventilation. - Crowded places with many people nearby. -

Close-contact settings, such as close-range conversation. Visit

https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/prevention/ for more tips. ------------------------------------

--------- CORONAVIRUS TESTING: To make it easier for citizens to find available

locations for community coronavirus (COVID-19) testing, the County has added a

collection of the most recent sites identified to its website. For those seeking testing,

find a list at www.osceola.org/covid19testing. Osceola County's website is continuing

to add links to resources that can assist members of both the residential and business

community during this difficult time. Whether you need financial or employment

assistance or resources for other necessities like food and health, you can find links in

Update as of 7/31/20 9:50AM Isaias strengthens to a Hurricane - Tropical Storm watch

still in effect for FL East Coast Overnight, Isaias strengthened to a Category 1

Hurricane. While Isaias has gained strength, the cone has shifted slightly away from

South Florida including Hollywood, as of the National Hurricane Center's 8AM Advisory,

there have been no changes to the Tropical Storm Watch in effect for the East coast of

Florida from Ocean Reef to Sebastian Inlet. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical

storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. No

Garbage/Recycling Pickup on Saturday Due to the possibility of Tropical Storm force

winds on Saturday, there will be no garbage, recycling or commingled pick up on

Saturday. Customers are asked to secure garbage cans and solid/commingled and

recyclable materials in a safe, sheltered location. City of Hollywood Emergency

Management staff and public safety personnel continue to monitor the track and

development of Hurricane Isaias. Residents should finalize their emergency plans and

make sure they are prepared for the potential of severe weather and possible tropical

storm conditions. Heavy rains and tropical storm-force winds may occur in South

Florida, although it is still too soon for forecasters to determine precisely where these

hazards will occur. Residents should continue monitoring this storm and ensure they

have a hurricane plan in place and not focus on the forecast track of Isaias' center.

Residents should use this time to finalize their personal hurricane preparations: Gather

your hurricane supplies now if you have not already done so. You should have five to

seven days' worth of supplies, such as non-perishable food and water, for each person

in your household. Residents should refrain from cutting trees or doing additional

landscaping projects until after this storm passes. Solid/commingled and recyclable

materials should be properly secured in a safe, sheltered location. Secure any outdoor

"Family gatherings and house parties account for 67 percent of COVID-19 transmissions

in Prince George's County, County Executive Angela Alsobrooks said during a Thursday

press conference. County officials say that contact tracers have determined that 44

percent of people who contracted COVID-19 reportedly attended family gatherings and

23 percent reportedly attended a house party. Maryland Governor Larry Hogan says

the trend is very much the same across the state of Maryland, saying on Wednesday

that the number one cause of virus transmission in the state is family gatherings,

followed by house parties, and then outdoor events. 'I think there's a false sense of

security when you're spending time with family or friends, especially if you're at home

or at a backyard [barbeque],' Hogan says... 'We are dead serious about this,'

Alsobrooks says. 'As you know, this is a matter of life and death.'"

clinic at the Ocean City Convention Center, and a new drive-thru VEIP site in Cecil

County. 'Our aggressive statewide testing strategy--which we have expanded

exponentially in recent months--is helping us to understand, identify, and stop the

spread of this virus,' said Governor Hogan. 'The State of Maryland continues to make

unlimited quantities of tests available to any jurisdiction that needs them to help

address any shortages and delays.' The Maryland Department of Health, Harford

County, University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health , the Aberdeen IronBirds, and

the Aberdeen Police Department will host a one-time, high-volume, drive-thru testing

event at Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium for individuals age 12 and older. ... Any

Marylander who would like to be tested is asked to schedule an appointment for the

event at Ripken Stadium by visiting covidtest.maryland.gov. This weekend, the state

will host a drive-thru testing clinic at the Ocean City Convention Center in partnership

with the Worcester County Health Department. The drive-thru clinic will be located in

the parking lot at the corner of Convention Center Drive and Coastal Highway, and

individuals will enter via Convention Center Drive."

This morning's presser with County Executive Sam Page included a review of the health

orders going into effect *today at 5 p.m.* Watch the full video from this morning here:

https://www.facebook.com/252997264891940/videos/923066724841870 A

persistent rise in COVID-19 cases has us taking the necessary steps to get the virus

under control. Three of the actions mentioned earlier this week are in effect for the

entirety of St. Louis County starting in a few hours. 1[?] FOR BUSINESSES : Beginning at

5 p.m., capacity limits for businesses will be reduced to 25 percent. Businesses must

post signs inside and outside stating that masks and social distancing are required. All

businesses shall require employees and volunteers to wear face coverings while at

work. All businesses shall conduct daily screening of employees and volunteers who

work in their facilities for symptoms of COVID-19. All businesses shall encourage

employees and volunteers to quarantine or isolate if they have or are believed to have

COVID-19 or if they have come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.

Businesses should arrange for contactless payment, pickup, and delivery options

whenever feasible and post the availability of these services. 2[?] FOR GATHERINGS OF

PEOPLE : Gatherings will be limited to 50 or fewer people. Exceptions to this include,

schools, daycare facilities, hospitals, urgent care centers, shelters, airports and polling

places. Businesses covered above in capacity limits are not included in the 50 or fewer

limit. These include grocery stores, retails stores and religious, spiritual and memorial

services. All gatherings, whether covered under the above exemptions or not, are

REQUIRED to follow social distancing and face-covering requirements. 3[?] FOR BARS :

Bars must close by 10 p.m. each night. The county ordinance defines a drinking

establishment as a business whose on-site sale of food to eat on the premises

comprises no more than 25 percent of gross sales annually. FOR EVERYONE : People

awaiting their COVID test results quarantine until they receive their results. We

encourage employers will work with their employees to make quarantining possible.

conference here to deliver a pretty serious message today i am joined with some of

our local officials uh first of all i'd like to recognize we're in the incredible village of

babylon and it's good mayor ralph scardino ralph rugby right here also joining us from

the babylon town board representing their great supervisor rich schaefer is

councilman terence mcsweeney and councilman dwayne gregory and also joining us

today who will be hearing from too is the operations manager of fire island ferries

and that's dave anderson um i would first of all want to thank you for coming it really

is an absolutely gorgeous day here in the village we are so lucky to live on and along

the beautiful great south bay and nearby to the atlantic ocean and the surrounding

waterways we want everyone to enjoy being on the water but it must be done so

safely and intelligently which is why we're here today to stress the importance of

keeping ourselves and our loved ones and other boaters that are out there enjoying

the water keeping everyone safe last week we saw a fire island ferry company

deckhands pull six people from a capsized motorboat just off ocean beach it was the

second day on the job for one of the deckhands and there are some that wonder

about the experience of the person navigating that boat two people died in waters off

the bronx when their jet skis collided last week and i am getting more and more calls

at the office about the problem with the jet skis out there in our canals on the

connect what river it just is a dangerous dangerous situation the covet 19 pandemic

has kept people inside for months and because of restrictions has limited family

recreation and travel this summer sales of personal watercraft have absolutely

skyrocketed i don't think you could find a jet ski today no matter how much you were

willing to pay for it and according to the national marine manufacturers association

the sale of personal watercraft was up in may by 75 from 2019. so where does that

leave us it shows us that recreational boating accidents including those of personal

watercraft rose nationwide in the first six months of 2020 compared to 2019 and this

comes from the coast guard's national office of boating safety nationwide fatal

we're able to be i do have my mask and since we're probably 10 feet apart we're

okay and i'm so delighted to have with us today dr chris rayo who is no stranger to us

here on supervisor spotlight or in the town of islip he's the head of the emergency

medical department at good samaritan hospital and for catholic health services and

uh boy if this was a time to be in emergency medicine you know who knew it's been a

bit wild yeah yeah so um let's go back march our whole world changed you know

march 12th 13th whatever you know particular date i know we were making

decisions on march 12th about whether or not the saint patty's day parade in

bayshore should be canceled and you look back now i mean that was a no-brainer

decision but there was a lot of angst over it at the time because it was one of the first

big events that were being cancelled and now you know we're hearing marathons and

you know all kinds of celebrations justifiably so are being cancelled yeah i mean i

think you know we are absolutely in a much better place today which i think yes

which i think is great but you know i don't think we've completely gotten through the

pandemic and i think that that's also important that people realize that you know as

says it is to see states around the country you know going and heading in the

direction we were at uh and states that were doing better and now all of a sudden

they're seeing spikes because they opened up too quickly it certainly is a lesson for all

of us that we have to stay the course as painful as it is sometimes to you know wear

the mask and do all of those things it's so important so at the peak at good sam we

actually had 264 coveted positive patients back and how many beds do you have in

good sam uh i mean what well over that no i know it's over that but when you think

of the percentage of beds that were just covered at the time yeah i mean the majority

of our cases at that point we're covered positive today i'm happy to say we're down

to 13 which i think is obviously great news for us and for the community but we're

still seeing what i would call mini outbreaks and some of them are occurring uh in in

MPHD Daily COVID-19 Update for July 31 Metro Public Health Department officials

announced today 21,023 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in

Nashville/Davidson County. There have been two new probable cases in the past 24

hours. Probable cases refer to those that do not test positive in a diagnostic test but do

have supporting epidemiological and clinical evidence that a COVID-19 infection has

occurred. If a person is a close contact of a COVID-19 case and has a clinically

compatible illness, he or she meets the criteria to be a probable case. Additionally, if a

health care provider diagnoses a person with clinically compatible illness with COVID-

19, this person meets the probable case criteria. Including both confirmed and

probable cases, MPHD officials announced a total of 21,060 cases, an increase of 132 in

the past 24 hours. The cases range in age from 1 month to 102 years. There have been

no new probable deaths reported in the past 24 hours. When the health care provider

who signs the death certificate determines COVID-19 disease was the cause of death or

a significant condition contributing to death, this person meets the probable case

criteria and would be considered a probable death. Two additional confirmed deaths

have been reported in the past 24 hours, a 77-year-old man with underlying health

conditions and an 84-year-old woman with a pending medical history. A total of one-

hundred eighty-three (183) people in Davidson County have died after a confirmed

case of COVID-19. Including both confirmed and probable cases, 192 deaths have been

attributed to COVID-19. 16,380 individuals have recovered from the virus. Available

Middle Tennessee hospital beds: 17 percent Available Middle Tennessee ICU beds: 14

percent The MPHD COVID-19 Hotline received 55 calls on Thursday, July 30, 2020.

THE COVID-19 UPDATE JULY 31ST 2020 Today marks day 140 of the Joint Task Force.

According to the Epicurve, it looks like we experienced our high point in July. We are on

a decline in cases and positivity rate (see images). The projection still shows a peak in

October (see image), but the current trends do not confirm that. There is a recorded

73.8% recovery rate with cases, closing more out is a good sign according to the SCHD.

We are currently hovering at about a 1.07 reproductive rate (R0). The hospital

occupancy rate is normally about 90% utilization pre Covid-19. Dr Jain discuses the

20,000 cases, extrapolated: It's possible 200,000 people in our county that may have

had Covid-19. Dr Horrell speaking for the municipal schools, schools systems need

some clear definitive guidance on contact sports. Notes from Today: - Shelby County

with 20,797 cases, 275 deaths, 1.3% mortality, and 10.4% cumulative positivity rate. -

Positivity rate averages according to a local medical advisor: Latinos 40%, African

Americans 20%, Caucasians 15% - this correlates with hotspots. - Dr Jain: Hospitals

need to think about a 3 fold increase over the next 2 - 4 months. - Labs still

experiencing shortages of reagents - Dr Warren asks for chart showing correlation of

passed ordinances with Covid-19 trends - One hospital rep poses that we have an

estimation extrapolated from other populations but not a local number on antibodies,

Dr Jain confirms we do not. - Questions were raised on metrics, thresholds and levers -

Methodist Lebonheur sent out guidance - MLGW extending moratorium on cutting off -

High case rates throughout Shelby County, zip codes along the Mississippi border the

worst hit - Lowering of the reproductive rate (see chart) - Two weeks with over 300

hospitalizations but stable Let's continue to care for our loved ones, support our small

businesses, let's stay safe and #FlattenTheCurve

On Friday, July 31, Smith County Judge Nathaniel Moran filed the Fiscal Year 2021

Proposed Budget, which drops the tax rate by a full penny from the current fiscal year

in an effort to provide tax relief to property owners during this time when so many

have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since late June, the Commissioners

Court has held multiple budget workshops to discuss the Proposed Budget and receive

input from the public. Now that it has filed with the County Clerk's Office, the

Commissioners Court will hold additional public meetings on the Proposed Budget and

proposed tax rate before adopting those items on August 25. Fiscal Year 2021 goes into

effect October 1, 2020. Recognizing the economic hardships that many citizens in Smith

County have had to endure through COVID-19, the proposed budget seeks to lower the

property tax rate from 34.5 cents per $100 valuation to 33.5 cents per $100 valuation

in FY2021. This decrease is anticipated to be about a half of a cent below the No-New-

Revenue Rate (formerly known as the "Effective Rate"), though the final calculation of

the No-New-Revenue Rate had not yet been provided to the County as of July 31. The

tax cut means that the County would take in less revenue from property taxes in

FY2021 than it did in FY2020 if no new property had been added. The only additional

property tax revenue will come from new property development. "Cutting property

taxes below the no-new-revenue rate is a rarity with governmental entities, and it is

especially so during this time when the County's property tax rate is already among one

of the lowest in Texas and its other sources of revenue such as sales tax revenue, fines

and fees, and interest are decreasing significantly as a result of the COVID-19

pandemic." Judge Moran gave credit to the County's numerous elected officials,

department heads, and the Auditor's office, all of whom worked hard early to find

areas within their individual budgets to trim, knowing that many households in Smith

County were having to do the same. "It is a reflection of your character, your

dedication to public service, and your recognition of this extraordinary time and the

need to reaffirm to all in this community, 'We are with you,'" he said in his cover letter

to elected officials and department heads. In addition to making cuts, Judge Moran

noted that the County will be able to weather this economic downturn without

Blatantly obvious that pro-democracy turnout in Hong Kong's democratic primaries

terrified the Chinese Communist Party. They continue to use #COVID19 as cover while

they strip away freedoms from their people. Nothing scares the CCP more than

independent thought. The Associated Press (@AP): BREAKING: Hong Kong's pro-Beijing

government, citing coronavirus, postpones elections; pro-democracy opposition cries

foul. https://t.co/R9w5cGOtX4

Delaying an election is a slippery slope to authoritarianism. I urge Chief Executive Carrie

Lam to implement measures for those in Hong Kong to vote safely rather than

postpone the election. POLITICO (@politico): Hong Kong's embattled leader has

invoked emergency powers to postpone the Legislative Council elections scheduled for

September by one year, citing health risks from the resurgent Covid-19 crisis

The closure of Port City Music Hall, which has made countless contributions to

Portland's vibrant live music scene, is deeply unfortunate news. It also underscores the

urgent need for Congress to pass the Save Our Stages Act, a bipartisan bill I co-

sponsored to provide targeted financial relief for small entertainment venues that are

struggling with lost ticket sales due to prolonged closures caused by the COVID-19

pandemic.

TRAVEL ALERT: One-boat weekend service continues on Edmonds/Kingston,

Mukilteo/Clinton routes Because of a continued shortage of available crew during the

COVID-19 pandemic, service on the Mukilteo/Clinton and Edmonds/Kingston routes

will remain on one-boat weekend service until further notice. The limited weekend

service on the Washington State Ferries' routes began in July. The Edmonds/Kingston

route is a primary access to and from the North Olympic Peninsula, while the

Mukilteo/Clinton route connects the I-5 corridor north of Seattle with Whidbey Island.

Washington State Ferries alerts people looking to travel on either route to plan ahead

by checking Mukilteo / Clinton Schedule and Edmonds / Kingston Schedule and be

prepared for long waits if driving onto a state ferry on the weekends. The #1 boat will

be the only boat in service on these routes. Customers should consider traveling during

non-peak times in the early mornings and later in the evening, and limiting non-

essential travel, according to WSF. Those who do sail during this time are strongly

encouraged to remain in their vehicles for the duration of their trip, while those in the

cabin should practice safe physical distancing, wash your hands and avoid traveling if

you feel ill. Galleys remain closed until further notice to help slow the spread of COVID-

19 and protect the health and safety of our employees and customers. Please be

reminded that face coverings are required in all public spaces in the State of

Washington, according to WSF. "WSF apologizes for the inconvenience and asks for

your patience and understanding during this challenging time. We will continue to

provide updates as soon as they become available." #edmonds #kingston #travelalert

DHHR reports as of 10:00 a.m., on July 31, 2020, there have been 281,451 total

confirmatory laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 6,578 total cases and 116

deaths. DHHR has confirmed the death of a 98-year old male from Raleigh County.

"We are deeply saddened by this news, a loss to both the family and our state," said Bill

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the dashboard includes probable cases

which are individuals that have symptoms and either serologic (antibody) or

epidemiologic (e.g., a link to a confirmed case) evidence of disease, but no

confirmatory test. CASES PER COUNTY (Case confirmed by lab test/Probable case):

crossed the state border to be tested. Please note that delays may be experienced

with the reporting of information from the local health department to DHHR. Please
