the center for public health advocacy at the johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health has not forgotten this urgent need for public health infrastructure. the center, under the leadership of dr. shelly hurns, will be working with a broad range of partners inside and outside our field to generate major investments in public health at every level. make no mistake about it. producing the political will to make these investments a reality will be critical. this is a moment of truth for public health, and we cannot let it quietly pass us by. so, i ask you to keep these priorities in mind as we come back later this morning with some terrific speakers and sessions in the focus areas of the bloomberg american health initiative. i urge you to stay tuned, learn, engage, and feel the inspiration. now, to end the session, i will turn it back to mike bloomberg. thank you. mike: thank you. you and our terrific president , ron daniels, do so much for hopkins students, faculty, and grateful alumni like me every day. before i introduce a video i know you will enjoy, let me offer one other larg

coordination coordination during public on -- public health emergencies reviewing federal health care , coverage policies during the pandemic, and enhancing safety in congregate living facilities and in transitions to homes and community-based services. today's events will consist of opening remarks from dr. kathy hempstead, senior policy advisor at the robert wood johnson foundation am followed by remarks from senators daschle and frist. this will be followed by a moderated discussion with gail wilensky, doctor bill roper, dr. mark smith and dr. leana wen. at this time would like to thank the robert wood johnson foundation or it's a generous support of this initiative and listen to some remarks from kathy. kathy: hello and welcome. we are proud to support the group of the bpc future of healthcare leaders, a a bipartisan group that works together to reach consensus on a poor health policy recommendations. this group of leaders have been expanded this year and includes members of the broad range of valuable expertise and perspectives. i want to give a special thanks to our own doctor.

teachers have health care network, transit workers have a health care network.many of them that can handle themselves, great. otherwise we have to retail -- the retail system. the retail system will be , pitals, will be pharmacies 5,000 pharmacies in the state. just the way you do a flu vaccine. will be federally qualified health centers. will be urgent care centers. will be local health departments. and when you get to the general population, it's easier because the main criteria is going to be your age. so your license would do it. right? there are many pieces of i.d. that can actually document your age. but again, this is down the road. but that retail system has been used in the past. we've been using it now to do the covid testing. right? so we'll implement that and then we'll have supplemental efforts, as we did with covid testing, state-sponsored drive-thru sites, javits center will prosecute -- will operationalize and then special outreach to black, latino and poor communities. so, that's where we are. let's take one more. >> thank you, governor. your fi

who has barriers to health and why? what can be done to remove those barriers and ensure all lives have equal value and everyone can thrive and succeed? when you think about health in america, a lotta people think -- a lot of people think it is about having a doctor or other health care provider. that is a critical part of this. the start of the pandemic, 28 million people did not have health insurance, so did not have a provider. it is more than that. how do you ensure everyone has access to healthy food and safe places to play? how do you ensure each community allows everyone to reach their potential? i live here in princeton, new jersey and a child born here has a life expectancy of 87 years at birth. i volunteer as a pediatrician and a clinic in trenton, 14 miles away. a child born near that clinic has a life expectancy of 73 years. so it is 14 miles and 14 year difference. how do we work in america so every child at birth has the same prospects, the same opportunities? we have a long way to go but what we are tryin

we are a qualified health center here in d.c. we provide care to about 20,000 unique individuals every year. about 500 of them currently are living with cancer. because of our historic system with the lgbtq community we have about 2000 transgender and gender expansive patient. we have revolutionized covid. we want to share more about our cancer work. the 500 patients we have currently have colon cancer, skin cancer, chest cancer, and the last one i am forgetting. but importantly, we have about 12,000 screenings a year. one of the things that has been unique about us is we do colonoscopies on site. with the amount of referrals we have to do for those particular services, we do last. we have been longtime partners with the cancer support community. i would love to have kim offer up information about that. >> dr. biden, we have known each other for some years now and work together in the cancer space. i want to start by offering our congratulations to you and the president. we are very excited, and we are particularly excited about

dealing with the mental health fallout from the pandemic?> that's something that the vice president-elect has prioritized as well and you have people like the incoming surgeon general who is keenly focused on this too. it's really quite hard on -- we already talked about people on the front line and the decisions they're having to make and decisionings they shouldn't have to make yet here we are. it's a lot to ask of hospital workers but even people affected by covid, their families, to endure. so looking at the long haul -- i know we talk about that in terms of physical afteremblingts but also there are very real mental as pickets -- aspects to all of this that we absolutely wants to ensure we address. that's why we have to walk and chew gum at the same time. to let people know we're responding to the response at a clinical level but still people are being asked to survive covid. i lived in kansas and it is my hope we can approach covid in a similar fashion, realizing that people are going to be living with this in some way. even if they te

health and health behavior and society at the johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health and also the founding director of the center for public health and human rights. during the pandemic, dr. beyrer has been engaged in research and focusing on lessening prisons to prevent the spread of covid-19, transmission of covid-19 and efficacy of mask wearing, as well as the development of covid-19 vaccines. he also serves as a senior scientific liaison for the covid-19 prevention network. our second speaker will be dr. monica schoch-spana at the johns hopkins center for security. she also senior scientist of the department of environmental health and engineering at the bloomberg school. during the pandemic, she has worked to translate scholarly research into actionable recommendations for policymakers and practitioners including as cochair of the working group on readying populations for covid-19 vaccine. we will have time for questions following the panelist remarks. the procedure will be as follows. we will take some questions that have been submitted in advance of the briefing and som

i'm joined by san francisco's health officer and the deputy director of health to discuss in more detail san francisco's plan to distribute vaccines as quickly as possible. the doctors are medical experts helping to lead the city's response to covid. we're lucky to have them here to help answer the questions that many san franciscans are asking. i know this is a topic on everybody's mind. we've never done anything like this before in this country, in this state or city. vaccinating this many people in the midst of a pandemic. it's a process with many moving pieces. while many things are out of our control, we're in good shape in san francisco with a plan in place to get people vaccinated quickly once we have the supply we need. to start off the conversation, i'll give a brief overview of the current situation in san francisco and then we can get right into the conversation. san francisco is moving full speed ahead on covid-19 vaccinations. we're creating a network of vaccination locations across the city. high-volume sites, partnerships with pharmacies, uzbekistaning -- using existing co

doesn't i made a really good point about health care workers and include i'm sinking about the health care workers who are going to be on the front lines of code 19 where they are going to be exposed to a lot of people who may well be infected dr john let me start with you i assume also this story here so my laptop's 3590 health care workers out of 8176 selected benefits turn up for the coverage vaccination day on day 2 and our lot of decided that they weren't going to take the facts see are you so right. i am surprised to some extent but you know what you have to take and i thought had to occur also individuals who are more in tune with you know a critical review of the facts right so gary know what i've been going through already expect i did mechanism up them up and go back seems they some of these individuals will have added concerns about is that adequately don't see is that it could be done not because see is this that i'd and should we be waiting a little bit longer but obsolete is the need to do a little bit of confidence building because you know things have happened at such

it really is a coordinated effort with the -- our health care partners and public health. we want to make sure that we're supporting at the state with guidance, with resources, with information, technical assistance, all of that together, but really at the local level, it becomes a combination of, again, right now because we're at 1-a in many jurisdictions are still working through 1-a, meaning all their health care workers, that it's really the hospitals and health care systems that are taking the lead. but they're also being supported and at the ready by the local health departments. so this urban and rural piece is something we're aware of. we're also working with those partners on both levels, both sides, i should say, health care and public health, to really come together and make sure that any of those challenges, including if it means that at some point we have to think about potential working together or transferring, that those are the kinds of things we're working together as a state and local partner dynamic. governor. governor inslee: yeah, no, i don't have a l

of public health, an expert in public health preparedness and previously served as health commissioner, she's a contributor to the washington post and an honor commentary for cnn. 5 minutes from each of our panelists moderated around annoying questions for me and questions from the audience. let me turn the virtual floor over to you. >> i want to add that i am on the biden harris coronavirus advisory board but on my comments here represent my own perspective unless i specifically say i'm speaking on behalf of the board. in terms of the problems with vaccine rollout, more specific to the united states, one of which is is it a supply problem, distribution problem or demand problem, which of those areas of bottleneck will shift over a course of vaccine rollout? we have this phased approach to distributing the vaccine, there's a shortage relative to the size of the overall population but given phase i being the long-term care facilities we do have the doses we need to reach those populations, a distribution challenge we are facing more than anything, i think in the coming weeks the phase 1

of health and legal harms that might impact health care access, and we have insurance navigators to make sure we get everybody in church. we have a pharmacy that is integrated in the whole team works together to support care for patient we have -- support care for patients. the team is really well-informed, and it has been incredible to have the social work aspect and behavioral support for our patients. i would love to show you more. >> one of the things happening that is so exciting for the future is that whitman walker is opening a facility in southeastern d.c. >> welcome to one of our makeshift storage rooms. like all health care providers, we have so many more supplies than we did in the past. if yours, we are experiencing shortages. what we had to do over 24-40 at ours is stop fighting care and launch telehealth. we normally see 400 unique individuals in this building a day, and that all changed. we are proud we have probably seen 85% of our normal patients, predominantly through telehealth. one reason our cancer screenings didn't go down during this time is that we prioritized car

creating a health workforce that was the sort of health extension worker so every single person could get access to care in a very very poor country. but that's only half of the story of the new w.h.o. general director. for 15 years he had been a member of an all through terry an ethiopian regime responsible for the deaths of hundreds of the government's political opponents. while minister of health he had also refused to acknowledge a number of epidemics in the country to avoid pushing off investors'. security probably the greatest he had been elected by a coalition of countries driven by china countries in the south and countries of africa the aim was an end to western domination of this important u.n. organization. ricardo's paradoxically it is still the west that through a large part finances the w.h.o. but has absolutely no control over its political decision making and somebody says . european and american candidates in the upper echelons of international organizations now found themselves on the receiving end of chinese strategy. beijing began mobilizing its allies to elect its

health care workers, all the health care heroes. there to say very clearly are health care heroes in cities and counties all over new york state doing the exact same thing. they should be trusted, too. they should be respected, too. look, all the people, the frontline have done the work deserve our trust and respect. and we need to listen to them. we need to listen to them to know what will work. so all those city health officials all over the state of new york, all those county health officials, thank you for what you do. let's all work together to vaccinate people and move forward. look, this is a moment for cooperation. this is a moment for trust. this is a moment for partnership. what we need is the freedom to vaccinate. we need to listen to our health care leaders and workers who are saying give us the flexibility to vaccinate more and more people. let us have the ability to do our jobs the right way. give them the freedom to vaccinate and they will vaccinate thousands and tens of thousands then hundreds of thousands then milli

local health departments have been working alongside the national guard and all of our public health and health care workers around the state to respond to covid-19 the testing and contact tracing and other efforts continue and now they are standing up a monumental vaccination effort across the state so it is all hands on deck and we very much appreciate the support of the governor as well as the national guard in these efforts. over the last few weeks we have been working closely with their federal as well as state partners to ensure vaccines get to the people of maryland and as the governor illustrated it does take some time from the time that they tell us we have a vaccine allocation to when we order it and then when it actually gets delivered here to the state directly to a certain facility. that's before vaccinations even begins over the last few weeks our hospitals and local health departments and implementing their plan there's a lot that's been happening behind the scenes including staff training and education, communications to a legible groups, coordination with local provi

i can tell you this, that the department of public health, as a health care provider, has vaccinated more than 6,000 people. most frontline acute care staff at zuckerberg san francisco hospital and laguna honda have been vaccinated, and nearly all paramedics and e.m.t.s have been offered the vaccine. and after today, over 90% of the residents at laguna honda will have received the first dose of the pfizer vaccine. that is great news. given the limited initial supply of covid-19 vaccine, the state has developed a phase approach for which group of people will get the vaccine and when. the first phase, the phase we are in now, defined by the state as phase 1a, prioritizes those workers in health care settings most likely to be exposed to the virus, and most needed to support our health care system. in san francisco, that is estimated to be over 80,000 health care workers, including nurses, doctors, technicians, environmental service workers, nutrition service workers, e.m.t.s, paramedics, and many, many others. the majority of these workers are being vaccinated by their employer, whethe

those in the san francisco health network? those in the ucsff health network? or anyone over 65? >> so people who are eligible for vaccine right now are health care workers and people over the age of 65. right now that site -- those patients -- are ucsff patients who by the most case meet the 65 and over criteria, and, again, once we get more vaccine we're ready to go and give up to 3,000 vaccines at that site alone. >> and a poll question, do you feel as if the feds are sending less vaccine to the bay area region compared to southern california due to the massive outbreak there? >> i'm not going to speculate on what the feds may or may not be doing. i think that the bottom line is that across the state regionally and locally we need more vaccine as soon as possible. san francisco is ready for the vaccine. our goal is to be able to inoculate at least 10,000 people a day. as you just heard, the health department is getting just over 10,000 doses this week. so we need to get that vaccine here so that we can get it into arms as quickly as possible. >> thank you, dr. colfax. and we w

restoring trust in our nation's health institutions are leading health experts will demand transparency at all levels with a focus on safety, efficacy and equitable distribution of treatments and vaccines. national and state leadership lead by example, and adhere to the scientific guidelines by wearing masks, physically distancing and obtaining the vaccine. trust in science, our health agencies and world-class scientists is in peril for reducing transmission entering vaccine -- successfully defeating the coronavirus. third, national leagues must communicate and adhere to clear, consistent and customize public health and safety messages and serve as role models. transparent communication with the american people will ensure people understand and trust the scientific process, and the tools and actions needed to end the pandemic. with new evidence emerges prompting public health leaders to update their scientific advice, it is imperative to communicate with humility and transparency. sharing and repeating clear, consistent and customize public health messages by trusted leaders at the nati

health care. our concern is there is a significant number of veterans who do not receive good health care from the v.a. and are stuck in ava health care facility and do not have full health care choice. that is greatly improved with the v.a. mission act. there are more choices, but there needs to be improvement. we want to ensure that veterans have a choice between a strong v.a. and strong private-sector options. host: what grade would you give the outgoing v.a. secretary? what kind of job you think he has done? guest: you have to divide up his tenure. before this year, i think he was doing a good job. this year, i think his performance has been, frankly, terrible. there is no other way to describe it. , the v.a.ship suspended access, which restricted access to health care in the middle of a pandemic. it hurt the v.a. and it hurt many community care providers. a customer them of base at a time when many of them were struggling to keep their doors open. addition, this recent inspector general repor

we also need resources for health care and mental health care. finally, in terms of the interaction between the body and the mind, these are really crucial factors in the development of mental illnesses. we do know that psychological stress impacts the body all over, whether it be your heart, your stomach, or your brain. you are correct that mental illnesses are not divorced from physical illnesses. they are illnesses of the body. they are illnesses of the organ in your body that creates behavior -- they are illnesses of the brain. we need to appreciate that and understand that if we are going to combat them. host: one of the things that we know that over the past year, doctors, nurses and other first responders have been put under tremendous stress trying to keep up with and trained to prevent further infections from covid-19. are we seeing any type of mental health issues, such as depression, affecting doctors and nurses and first responders who have had to work extremely hard to try to keep covid-19 under control over the last year? guest: one

he didn't undermine his public health agencies. so this white house person, and under the bush administration he thought it was really unusual for the president to be so taking a stand against the big public health agencies, the fda the cdc. and right at that moment with tony . john: part of it is been there's been so any changes particularly in the new deal the post-world war ii. so that the rise of the modern presidency comes in and says since after the epidemics and pandemics in history. it is wonderful field of public health the 19th century was followed by the 20th century . was followed by the 19th century again. it so the returns of infectious diseases. the reemergence of some. they have put the 31st century present in the 19th century setting. that's a new phenomenon for us . lawrence: what a great point john . we are really fighting in the moment and until we get the vaccine and some really good treatment. were really siding with 19th century tools. or quarantining in contact tracing. we do not have a vaccine. were knockin

once it's in the county and it's put into a health care system or the department of public health, wehave to ensure that that temperature control conditions until it's ready for use. -- continues until it's ready for use. it's required for the health care systems to have ultra-cold freezer storage to do the pfizer vaccine and get it out. moderna is a little bit better in the fact that it requires freezers. and we can use our own freezers to do that. and the health care system has freezers. but i want to emphasize, the vaccines are fragile. you have to be not only temperature-controlled for storage, but as soon as they're ready for use, there is a lot of requirements around how that use happens. i'll turn it over to dr. phillips to talk about that. >> yes, these vaccines, these are not the type that you and i are used to in our homes. these are specialized equipment in medical centers. and what we know is that once we start the process of thawing the vaccine, that is another process, then it also has a limited life within the refrigerator of several weeks. and once we take the vials, t

public health, the history of public health is the way the literature tells the story. one is the quarantine is tradition, the strictures and of harsh quarantines that manage and police bodies and draw lines in boundaries and restrict people behind offenses and the like and that so quarantine is turned -- tradition. the alternative sanitation as they are sanitary and tradition is that tradition that imagines a disease does not come from infection by people but a virus and managing the empire meant in improving the environment is a better way than quarantine to respond to the disease. i was quarantine is the more sanitary and as some -- and that dichotomy runs their history here and all over the world. >> host: when you think about lock downs and looking at those traditions we certainly saw between the great implement the pandemic closing off but could you ever imagine that new york, los angeles beijing, dolly london would be absolutely lock down in relation to a pandemic even with all of your experience with yellow fever and smallpox? does that surprise you or did you t

i can tell you this, that the department of public health, as a health care provider, has vaccinated more than 6,000 people. most frontline acute care staff at zuckerberg san francisco hospital and laguna honda have been vaccinated, and nearly all paramedics and e.m.t.s have been offered the vaccine. and after today, over 90% of the residents at laguna honda will have received the first dose of the pfizer vaccine. that is great news. given the

, the health of the families and health of their communities. without that we will continue to thsee people making rational choices that say hey, i will not tell anyone and if i give my friends name up my friend could nlose their job and they could lose their home and they could lose the ability to put food on the table. these things are real in america and if you really want to get this under control we have to make it possible for everybody to protect their health. >> host: i know we are close to time here, dr. besser, but it's almost 4:30 a.m. in hawaii. >> washington journal live everyday at 7:00 a.m. eastern and available anytime at c-span .org. we leave this to fill our 40 plus year commitment to congressional coverage. u.s. senate is about to

we are currently recruiting. >> everybody needs more mental health workers. >> the mental health professionals are exhausting themselves. they're exhausting themselves. they're having compassion fatigue. and our calls have been very emotional on the helpline line, people crying. we've been able to raise some funds to send out emergency stipends to patients. >> we had a was in tears and sa, that card you sent me will feed my family for the entire month of september. >> wow. >> it really hits home. it's very emotional, you know? i think it's also important to mention, this is an important policy issue, but on the telehealth, a lot of the reimbursement, the extension of reimbursement for telehealth is only short-term, and in sort of an emergency phase because of covid. we really have to fight to extend that. and we need to fight for the permanent reimbursement of these telehealth services because they're great for patients. it's a wonderful way to communicate, to expand mental health services. we really want to work with you to fight for that. and also, we're really discovering that broadband is

service or cdc or mental health agencies in the u.s.hen people ask questions about diabetes or depression, they have a pathway they can navigate to bring them to resources. google does not need to create a lot this information. it is just that we need help amplifying the good information being created by the public health and others. you are seeing the beginning of a journey. very accelerated. wanting to meet people where they are. be a great partner to public health and medicine. and we look forward to continue that. emily: dr. karen desalvo, google chief health officer, we hope it works. thank you so much for joining us to talk about what google is doing. we will have more "bloomberg technology so you're a small business, or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how d

>>this is some good news and it means hopefully that people are following the health orders.till city officials believe the state mandated stay at home order tied to the region's icu capacity will remain in place at least through the end of the month to help out struggling businesses. the mayor has proposed a new 62 million dollar relief plan this new plan will more than triple the amount of local support we're providing grants and loans so far during this pandemic for small businesses like 3 days bake shop in the bayview which lost 80% of its business. >>it had to lay off 3 quarters of its staff. it will mean a lot. >>this certainly stu and to maintain our staff. to continue offering benefits to people and it's it's there you go probably straight to carol first on the vaccine front residents of 13 of 18 skilled nursing facilities, including laguna honda. >>have been offered their first dose of vaccine. in the meantime the city is taking steps to expand distribution of the vaccine through community clinics and large sites once they get more supply from the state. >>in partner

needs of the palestinians, i they have their own health organisations and health l ministry. swallowed up by wealthy influential people and that is perhaps what underlines - the real problem here - which is there may be less take—up amongst palestinians, less organisation amongst - leaders who are trying to get the vaccines. i they said they would get them through the who and israel. like every country, wants . to prioritise its own citizens, it is vaccinating palestinian citizens of israel along - with other citizens of israel in order of priority - for the health needs. i will not get into a dispute over the oslo accord, i noticed the spectator magazine said, "it is required to step in as and when needed", and i guess a global pandemic might be regarded as an ultimate need and it is in all of our interests for everybody to be vaccinated but on the point about the impact for benjamin netanyahu, could it be a way out for him? this is not an election of his choosing, it was forced on him because of the politics of the dispute over the budget, something under the coalition agre

public health is the silent force working for the health of the community. the public health efforts during this pandemic started with containment, so we wanted people to physical distance, but also very vulnerable people to stay at home. public health cares about everybody, of course, but particularly those communities that need our help and support through this. >> people are homeless and can't shelter in their own home. they can't isolate. they have nowhere to go. we are all in this together, and we need to figure out how to help everyone, including those who are at least able to pampers, the #1 pediatrician recommended brand, helps keep baby's skin dry and healthy. so every touch is as comforting as the first. pampers. the #1 pediatrician recommended brand . broken windshield... take 1... hey guys, my windshield just got broken, i feel like i need to blow off some steam. let's go... 1, 2, 3, 4... mr. blanks? there's no need to be stressed. geico makes it easy to file a claim online, on the app, or over the phone. yeah, but what if i never hear back? that
