post-needs. so we're looking at the needs assessment and then making decisions. the budget goes into the mayor's office january, february -- and sometimes it goes in as early as december, though. it would be nice to be in alignment. it doesn't have to be, but just thinking about that timeline, but definitely wanting to impact the mayor's budget, at least. so i think april is a little late. so -- for the needs assessment to be completed and have time to make all of those hard decisions. or else i feel like we're going to be rushed again. and that was the thing we swore we weren't going to do again, being rushed -- we had the big rush in december, but then it was pretty rushed after that, too. so those are my comments. oh, and just, i think, as we -- so to just be a little bit more -- a little more substantive, my comments -- when, for example, the focus groups are being -- our the outreach methodology, however we're getting input, we should have the liaison present to make decisions about how those things are structured. we're missing a data officer right now, and

i agree with you, with we need new immigration laws, we need to change the system.lieve in legal immigration. should we just open our borders everywhere, or is it just in that area, in the southern border? how do we but those that are opposing in my view significantly high-end risks to american lives and prosperity like the pandemic and the cyberissues. those are threats impacting american lives and their pocketbooks in ways you can see what's happening at the southern border. >> juice think that and all is a threat? do you believe that is a threat and on the ports of entry. >> you are long expired. >> it is absolutely a threat and that is why it is a tremendously important to have the department of homeland security focused on taking a broader view. one of the things i find heartening is that we are focusing exclusively on terrorism. so that gets back to it was said earlier. we have to get to a place to keep the nation more secure more broadly with all the issues you are raising so those become part of the core mission of the department. >> the chair recognizes the

our families need it. our children need it.ervisors, please support for families in our community. >> good afternoon i'm janet and i live in san francisco. with this video i ask that the acoa overnight proposal be approved to rent a safe home in san francisco. it is difficult to have housing for ourselves and our families. rents are very expensive. sometimes you have to be renting in a very small places or rooms sharing with other families. in my case, i'm a single mother and there are not many places because there are only single working people who don't want families. it is very difficult for a single person to pay for rent. i ask your support for proposition c. i ask that this community process be respected. thank you very much. >> hello. i live in the mission district. i'm taping this video to advocate for full approval of the oversight committee proposal. renting safe housing in san francisco is very difficult for low income families and families have been applying more than 10 years until we finally got a home we could af

we need to buy for the needs of today and not 10 years ago. we believe that the sco can be important here. we look forward to working with them as we develop this pilot and hopefully get to test it by getting it approved. >> can i jump in on this one point? i think along with what he is talking about in terms of a pilot, having greater flexibility from congress to allow the department to manage portfolios of capabilities according to mission area would be huge. i don't know a single ceo running a major business that doesn't do a portfolio review and says what is not working? should i do some divestment? what is working and is better than i thought would be and i want to accelerate the progress. the fact that the department is so hamstrung in its ability to an edge across its investment portfolio for a given mission is really challenging. i know congress doesn't want to lose the power of the purse. and don't want to lose their oversight. i think there are ways to do this that would keep congress informed, ensure their oversight but give the dep

i need food for my family. i need help. and so everything that happens in that building is meaningful. everything that happens in that building is important to our community and we absolutely need the funding so the redstone can stay and these community spaces can be available for whatever the need is. >> thank you. that was the last video. we're moving on to the next caller. maria, if you can unmute the next caller. again, folks, the system prompt will say you have been unmuted and you can start your comments. you have one minute and please confirm the agency or department you are calling from and we'll pull up your video. thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. can you hear me? >> yes, i apologize. >> good afternoon supervisors. this is andy stone again with the h.i.v. advocacy network. i just wanted to say that we're calling on behalf of advocates in the bay area trying to end the epidemic and improve the lives of communities impacted by h.i.v. and advocate for the equity for h.i.v. budget proposal -- >> i don't mean t

but, you know, the need here is we need to be looking seriously at substations, at cable. one thing to remember is that -- that is very specific to offshore wind, the turbans are so massive, if we can produce the major components here in the united states, the bill of materials is stupendous. it's hundreds of tons of steel and copper and specialty metals. that is why the supply chain for offshore wind can be such an engine for economic growth for our country. moving, you know, energy around the country is a logistics marvel, how can infrastructure investments today make sure that we translate that into jobs. and that these jobs are actually benefitting the very people that we are hoping this promise of a clean energy future is going to deliver on for the folks that we represent, and others. >> thanks, liz and bob. >> i'll just note that that $65 billion in broadband enhancement in the infrastructure package couldn't come fast enough for toby. we're going to give him another shot. i think he is on the phone now. we're going to turn back to toby and see if we can make it wor

so we absolutely need to expand these programs to meet the need. it is also essential that we ensure that these properties are kept up and that they are safe and decent, not only affordable for the people who live within them. and a couple of the callers and commenters are right, that much of our affordable housing stock in our country is in poor condition. that is due to decades of declining resources to repair these units and keep them in these sanitary conditions. so public housing, for example, has been underfunded for decades and now has a $70 billion capitol needs backlog. in other words, it would cost $70 billion to repair our country's public housing infrastructure and maintain those properties in sanitary condition for the people who live there today and to keep it for the generations who will need it in the future. so that's an additional investment that we are urging and that president biden has proposed to invest in the public housing, the affordable housing that exists today to repair it so that it's safe and sanitary for the people th

our students need us now and we need to make sure that we are supporting them and making sure that when we talk about reopening schools we aren't just talking about good ventilation systems were having ppe on hand but also nurturing environments where students feel welcomed and accepted and they can be themselves in our schools. often times things become politicized but i know that they will put the needs of the children first. >> perfect segue to the last question and that is when it comes to the issues of race you told lawmakers that you trust educators to do their jobs. how do you think teaching about race, racism and its impact on our history should be incorporated into classroom instruction? >> the wonderful thing is the country is unique in that sense and we all come from different places and add to this growth and it's important for the students to see the contribution of folks that look like them and it's equally as important to see the contributions of others that don't look like them so that they can get a better sense of what the world is really like. i think we would be shor

they need financial assistance, and they need diplomatic assistance.we should be having all the countries in the region, as many as we can get, and others sending clear messages to the taliban to seek a peaceful solution to this. and to accept the other parts of the society enough gonna stand that don't share their views. so far, they haven't done that. they haven't indicated a willingness to do that. part of the whole initial agreement that the united states negotiated with the taliban had, as part of that, they were going to have a dialogue with the government in kabul. that dialogue has gotten nowhere. it has not been serious and i am sure right now, in recent weeks and months, it's been less serious. and even though it's not as much leverage as we would've had as ambassador crocker made clear. did we have all of our tools there and our troops there? we still need to use all the leverage we do have which is the fact afghanistan gets 80% of its money to function from international donors. that's not going to change in the future, and people are not g

they need a job, a livelihood. and as soon as local economies shut down with the locked down, people lost the ability to access that food. and if, unless we restructure the food system and make people more able to access food, i eat by having a livelihood or job, et cetera, or social grants. we weren't address the very historic reasons for this for poverty . fiona, this increase in global hunger. i mean, it really puts into stark relief that conflict and also inequality really continue to impact the most vulnerable people around the world. correct? actually, and i think we really need to focus on the fact that it is the most vulnerable inch, including children. he really experienced the brittle reality of these awful numbers coming out. and the report you're talking about indicates that there is an increase in children who are experiencing something and wasting. and this of course, will have a detrimental impact on their health and development throughout their lives. and hon. ringback communities in the different r

dhs needs to think against nonmilitary threats this is what dhs needs to move towards. when the trust of the american people how to take on what it does it also needs to modernize the approach to public-private partnerships because that's the way dhs contributes tackling climate change morale is another important challenge. let me asked the court to put up slide number two for the committee to take a look at. one thing we have noted dhs is ranked last in the annual surveys of employee morale since 2010. the data for the september october 2020 dhs is still last with agencies in the federal government. but our analysis shows morale is not a hopeless task but far from it. frank taylor between 2014 and 2017 immigration and customs enforcement at the us secret service between 2017 and 2019 if i can ask the court to show slide three. was citizenship and immigration services fell off a cliff they fell from 90th to 339-2411 the reasons for the drop deserve a hearing of their own dhs had other success stories and the components with their response to the covid-19 pandemic and pr

the types of capabilities we need to invest in and the technologies we need to invest in and the changes to our acquisition approach that is going to be necessary to do that. and even down to the personal management systems of how we bring technical talent into the force and how we manage it and allow it to lead and help innovate in the department, so there is a very rich agenda and i guess i would conclude by saying what we do in the next four years will have a huge impact for the next 40. time is of the essence. there is a sense of urgency and consequence that i think we need to be operating with. >> over to you. last year you cochaired the future defense task force and signed out of the report and there's definitely a few things in the report that line up with what michelle just laid out including that need for the operational concept development that i want to return to in this discussion. but tell us ahi little bit about the findings from the task force and maybe highlight some of the initiatives that you are supporting or driving this year that might address those matters. >> first

but those countries will need support and we need and they need the science now. manufacturing can be wrapped up where manufacturing people already and to repair. there's no regulator here that can intervene. there's no higher authority the united nations to intervene to force the europe, ian union and the british government to give away the recipe to the vaccine against corona buyers, there is no higher level. i mean, every, every proposal on the table at the well trade organization that would see these intellectual property listed, but to, to agree that is dependent on the government coming together and agreeing that now over a 100 countries already supporting this proposal, including president biden, including president micron, including the russian government, including the chinese government government, just a handful less like the u. k. and germany who was founding in the way. if they shifted we could get a consensus and we could get things moving as quickly as possible. they need to get, they need to start blocking this proposal. and i thank you. thank you very much. after the

we need more. we have a growing number of latino students, and yet our bilingual education classrooms are difficult to find teachers for. so thehe teacher development program is important. our students with disabilities, insuring that we have enough funds there is another really important step, you know? we recognize the importance of increasing the funds, and i can't tell you how many stories i heard in the last year from families, educators and students themselves, students with disabilities, about how the remote learning wasn't enough for them. we have to make sure that we give our students an opportunity to be successful, that we support our educators in the process so that our schools continue tool thrive. >> a couple times you have used the phrase raise the bar. which is a different way of saying something you said is last month about -- you said last month, you know, going back to normal is a low bar with early childhood education. public education need to adjust with our changing times? and

what they need to do, what they need to con. yes. well, there's so much that there's so many different areas, but in agriculture that can be reduced by emissions movie. so if you think about the feed that they give the animals, for example, trying to reduce the emissions that actually generated within the animal. when you think about the volume of animal that's being produced, we have found that over the last year there was actually been an increase in emissions from, from unvil agriculture. and ready bath is logic as a pock is result of the fact that more animals could use them. so missing about a that needs to be an adoption of electric vehicles for example, and really trying to stop the mission that happened. so there are lots of areas in the production of the animal and animal protein that we could start to see reduction happen. we just need to see that as more regulations or more incentivized ation of bama strike to do things like this is a happy balance between livelihoods and farming emissions. absolutely. i believe that that

needs of wider audience needs a wider discussion, needs a wider platform and right now if it hasn't happened yet, no, definitely not. it hasn't happened yet. and i think we're still sort of mulling over it. that is a huge class of scientists, a political science does that have consider going forward with it in terms of research, but the real implementation of it. i don't see the politics, benito speaking it up to the extent that it needs to. but if you look at the go, the south where, you know, we've not to trees right now, still upwards did not be to be not due to the position in terms of standard of living in terms of well being in terms of growth. where we can look at it in growth, but you still have tried giving a carbon neutral talk. it's but 20502060. despite the fact that it was only less than 2 decades ago that you know, we had a chance at, at reaching the growth. but i mean having said that, i'd also, i also think claudia said it's not capitalism or climate, and i think it's sort of, you know, working hand in hand because to be able to address the climate issues, we need mo

and then third we need to develop our contingency planning for those who are going to need assistance, both humanitarian assistance when they are on the move in the country or out of the country, but also those who worked very closely with us but not for us in this contingency situations. and those who want to write network and preserve the values they believe in, but we have to be ready to help them, no matter what evolves, it seems to me. >> ambassador jacobs, what needs to happen over the next two weeks for the next three months? >> well, i would say any efforts by congress to streamline the siv process are welcome. so hopefully senator shaheen talked about a number of measures come hopefully those will get through. i agree with the jill that we need to start living people as soon as possible. i understand the security reasons that the white house doesn't want to talk a lot about countries that we are talking to and all of that, but eventually they're going to have to make public the evacuation plan and where these people are going. and then support counselor affairs and homeland s

they need us. they need moms. and that's just a fact.k better we need to do some very simple things. pay us equitably. subsidize our childcare. give us control over our schedule. root out the motherhood penalty. you know, we have a lot of off-ramps when you have a child but what about those on-ramps? we need more of those return shifts. we need federal retraining programs. there's so much that we need to do. and i think the government needs to demand that, you know, companies play their role, do their part in this economic recovery. we're not simply asking you to just give us a shuttle -- to get us back out of this mess. but we need to recreate and rebuild. and listen, i know that moms are on the front lines demanding that we do it. >> all right. reshma soujani thank you, so much for joining us. >>> loudest voices of the week come from cuba and their call for freedom. for freedom. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva

but speaking globally, i think that the growth of something that needs needs of wider audience needs a wider discussion, needs a wider platform. and right now if it hasn't happened yet, no, definitely not. it hasn't happened yet. and i think we're still sort of mulling over it, that is a huge class of scientists, a political scientists that have consider going forward with it in terms of research, but the real implementation of it. i don't see the politics denito speaking it up to the extent that it needs to. but if you look at the gold, the south where, you know, we've not trajectories right now, still applauds did not be to be not in the position in terms of standard of living in terms of well being in terms of growth. where we can look at the growth, but you still have tried in the are giving carbon neutral targets, but when it could be 2060, despite the fact that it was only less than 2 decades ago, that we had a real chance at, at reaching the court but i mean having said that, i'd also, i also think claudia said it's not capitalism or climate, and i think it's sort of, you know

we need to narrow the definition of risk, we need a message on hope and we need to be clear that breakthrough infections from delta are rare especially mild or any type of symptomatic illness so people recognize there's hope here. that we are back to day zero. >> the breakthrough infections are rare. there's a piece i was going to read from a former bush speechwriter about how you're more likely to die by a lightning strike than cope covid if you're vaccinated. if you could explain why we're going back to the mask mandates. is that more about transmission? >> it is. i think a lot is public. dr. fauci 48 hours ago said there can be the instance, however rare, if you're fully vaccinated, otherwise healthy, you may have enough virus in your nose, as much virus in your nose as someone unvunvaccinated. that was concerning when they said it. there was no frequency attached to it. we don't know how much of a problem that is. based on prior learnings from the alpha variant that first arose in the united kingdom, it came out that much more -- the magnitude is one and a half times, two times at most in

but we need more. we need everybody to get vaccinated. and the president deciding to have a mandate of the veterans administration health care hospital that all doctors and nurses get vaccinated is part of what we believe is right to protect veterans and it is consistent with what many health care systems are doing across the country. the system where if an individual attests to being vaccinated, they are able to come back to work in the straightforward fashion, versus if they refuse to get vaccinated or refuse to attest to being vaccinated. so it is a difficult system of regular testing, masking, social distancing, and you can't -- can't travel for work. why? to protect people. but also to incent people to get vaccinated. this serves as a model for private employers and other institutions. as we heard in your opening, many are following suit. that's good news. everything we can do to incent people and where appropriate require people to get vaccinated. the more we get vaccinated, the faster we beat this pandemic. >> but what happens to t

i didn't need help financing. i just needed to help to pay for it. hopefully we come up with something that has enough flexibility. >> we have about five minutes left. i want to talk a little bit about the politics of how we pull this all together. there's an interesting coalition around this idea of building cooler and building faster. trying to show the strength of the coalition. i want to thank you. this is simply to say that we have a coalition of about 300 groups that have just sent a letter to you. it says, we congratulate the partisan group of 21 senators of the biden administration for reaching an agreement and the caucus for endorsing an agreement. with a significant and well targeted investment in transforming electric vehicle infrastructure, broadband internet, and more. there are dozens of chambers of commerce, the national wildlife federation, state transportation officials, broad-based groups -- but the math is still tough. there still needs to be at least 10 republican senators, and it's going to be a long and hot [indiscernible] -- be

they need to underground -- they need to put equipment underground for wildfire safety.re is a lot on their plate. here in san francisco we have, as you all well know, we have experienced a lot of delays and costs around our partnership with pg and e. so if the past is any predictor of the future, we can expect more delays and costs as they build out distribution to meet demand. the other point here is the part of our electrical rates that refer back to the distribution. the distribution services that we get from pg and e. that will likely increase. they will build out the grid, but they will go back and charge our residential and other customers for that benefit. we will -- we will likely see rate increases as a result of their investments in building out the distribution grid. and lastly, there are additional electrical upgrade costs that will be very possible for building owners. this is not only the electrical panel upgrades that needs to happen on the customer side, but there can also be transformer updates as needed. they may need to widen the conduit that runs und

i just need the money to pay for it.we will solve several problems at once and hopefully come up with something that is not just a product of her times but has enough flexibility that it renders one kind of value in our current interest rate environment but will render another kind of value for better change. >> we have about five minutes that i want to talk about politics of how we pull this altogether. it's been our sense is been real interesting new coalition about this idea of building cleaner building faster. we've been working very closely with the chamber of commerce and building trades and others trying to show the strength of that coalition. i have an opportunity to thank you and out in a way that advances for agenda but consented to say that we have coalition about 300 groups into similar to you which says congratulate the bipartisan group of 21 senators, the the biden administration reaching an agreement and problem solvers caucus to invest 1.2 countries including new spending. with significant target investme

that is what needs to happen.hese democrats need to stop their aggressive approach to raise our taxes higher than that of communist china and they need to stop their uncontrollable, reckless spending that is resulting in an incredible, incredible degrees of record inflation. elizabeth: you know biden was there when it happened under the obama administration in 2011, when there was a threat to basically default. you know the u.s. temporarily lost their aaa rating, went to aa-plus. here is this, what is going on with this tactic? house speaker nancy pelosi, she is doubling down. she is saying the senate, you have to pass a bigger 3 1/2 trillion dollar spending bill first before we take up the bipartisan infrastructure deal that the senate is working on next week. this is hard left playing hardball. they're saying if the infrastructure fails, they will demand 4 trillion in new spending. this is derailing really fast. how do the democrat leadership just botch this so entirely? i mean how do they get it so wrong? this

we need this now. being able to see fire spread every 15 minutes within baseball diamond sized grids would be a game changer for science, for fire management and incident command and for public education and engagement including improved warning systems. finally, i would be remiss not to mention as well the joint fire science program, the jfsp is a solution's oriented federal research collaboration that provides scientific funding for practical results, but the jfsp also funds and manages the fire science exchange networks. these exchanges provide the most relevant and current wild land fire science to federal, tribal, state, local, and private stakeholders across all 50 states. currently the funding for and future of the jfsp and the regional exchanges is in question. we should not reinvent the while when a functioning and successful federal mechanism that collaborates with non-federal partners at all levels already exists. thank you for giving me the opportunity to testify before you today and i look

are hunger needs, health needs? it is hard to learn if your teeth hurt. how do we take that mentality, model it at the federal government, make sure we are using our money smarter and not duplicating things when we can work together and model that for states and communities when we can see that in our schools? >> i appreciate that answer. what we are talking about in terms of interagency collaboration is related to students with special needs. it is related to learning challenges. it is related to students in foster care and it is related to community balance -- committee violence. if we do not do things in our schools improperly connect students and families with resources of other agencies, what we are going to see is an exacerbation of students being evaluated for special ed, more violence in their community because they are frustrated because their needs are not being met. that is a big piece of it. how can the u.s. department of education -- i know it is a federal agency and there is a lot that happens locally

do, we need to look at. i hope this is the beginning of a [inaudible]. this is a big subject that's been neglected for so many years. now it seems like we're in a bind with our senior citizens. thank you very very much for your remarks, and now our next witness is professor lillian. she is a professor of taxation at georgetown law. are you there? >> i'm here. thank you very much. can you hear me? >> it is all yours. >> excellent, thank you. chairman, ranking member and members of the subcommittee, i'm honored to be here. i'm a professor of law at georgetown university where i teach and write about federal income taxation, tax policy and international taxation. as a tax expert, my goal today is not to advocate for a particular policy, but instead to talk about the design choices that congress makes when crafting tax policy. when designing tax incentives, there's these fundamental questions that congress should be asking: first, is it helping the americans that congress is aiming to help? second, is this creat

we need to do better. our plan expand health care for the older and disabled americans while improving jobs and pay for home care workers who care for them. here is the deal, you save a lot of money if you do not have to go to a home. keeping people in their own home , mentally and every other way, is a benefit. a significant benefit for the community as well as cost. we also need to continue to make health care more affordable. when we lowered premiums and expanded coverage in the american rescue plan, more than 1.5 million people signed up for what used to be called obamacare. i want to make these reductions permanent so we can get even more people covered. we need to deal with the shortage of affordable housing. over 10 million renters in the country pay more than half their income for rent on their apartment. they -- the lack of affordable housing prevents people from moving to communities where there are more opportunities. we are going to make historic investments in affordable housing, improving hou

but a treatment, you still need to be highly trained to be treated but you did not need to have be a sign between a psychiatrist or phd clinical psychologist with both masters degree in slightly advanced educational training can really do a lot as long as they get the specialized training and behavioral intervention. and get updates every year kind of basis. something one can do it at multiple levels and i would love to get you more information on what is actually going on now rated but it's very small potatoes. in my specific it instance in working with this extraordinary clinician at, the amount of resources we've had has a small, he is tried to write grants we have try to help in terms of building that. but one thing is a grass fund research and that brings new people and who are trained and then can get clinical care as well. but i think there is enough funding or funding needed to actually just help build the local clinical care on top of the kind of research dollars that might be available. i don't know if that is helpful. >> that is really helpful and i look forward to connect

manufacturers need to know that they can be there when they needed. contamination can be put into two buckets. one, missteps in the design of a product. i mentioned label adhesive. we need thought that goes into how packed eugene -- packaging is designed. there is a new tool that we just designed with support from walmart to help align around common design challenges so that we know as consumers will get something off the shelf is in prime recycling condition. the second bucket is in the household. that challenge is when we can sometimes call squish cycling. people hope that something is recyclables so they put it in the bin. that part of how we engage the public is a really important one because it is not just awareness. we know the public is aware of recycling. we need to get to how to engage them in the correct behavior of whites recycle on which day. education has been woefully underfunded in this country. if we leverage the public will, we will find a better outcome. we are doing work in communities right now. we have a program will report and wi

but we still need a lot more. we need child care. people want to go to work, you need roads and bridges. parents also need child care. we need home and community based care. we need to make sure that we're fighting back against the climate crisis that is bearing down upon us. we want to do an infrastructure package, it has to have that in it. it's time to expand medicare. all these pieces will be wrapped together, and they're really one big package. >> we're distanced. you walked in with this. i have mine, i've been wearing my mask as well. i want to talk to you about covid. are you frustrated that it appears americans are sliding backward despite the vaccine being available? >> of course i'm frustrated. what we would have done a year ago to say there was a vaccine that could protect people, that had nearly 100% effectiveness to keep people from being hospitalized or from dying, goodness. and we develop, we work hard, we get the vaccine out there. for a while, people are clamoring for it. and now we're caught in this period where the

so, we need for example an enormous capital need for wastewater. was shown all kinds of products that help me finance it. iat just needed the money to pay for it.er we need to solve several problems at once and hopefully come up with something that isn't just a product of the times but has enough flexibility in the current interest-rate environment for another kind of value that has changed. >> we have about five minutes left and want to talk about the politics of the coalition around this idea of the bipartisan policy center working closely with the chamber of commerce to show the strength of that coalition. this is simply to say we have a coalition of about 300 groups that sent a letter to you that says we congratulate the bipartisan groupup of 21 senatos in the administration reaching an agreement and for endorsing the agreement including 579 billion of new spending with a significant investment in the surface transportation and infrastructure for broadband internet and more. the framework is consistent with those built by the coalition. can i p

we need electric transit, we need funding for trains buses, high-speed rail.ll these things requires many millions of dollars. it's not controversial logic about deficit spending. if you put it towards investments you get the money back. there is no need to be beholden to those who put public assets into the hands of private capital. you don't -- you can make those investments directly through the federal government instead of helping that private companies will come along and make good investments and make them work. we have too many examples of private companies building public infrastructure which falls short. they don't have the expertise. that should be in the federal government host: i think you just touched on this a bit. but explained us how this would benefit wall street. guest: sure, one thing -- i did not have details as of yet, but i laid out a couple of these reasons in the article. there are all of these documents in major banks that we are really excited. to put these things on their balance sheets. have the government the risk and what that mea

so we need to see fit. we cannot find it. doctor ernie says the government's data doesn't tell the full story because so many people are dying before they take a p. c r test. oh we feel bad because right now there are a lot of loss of home. sometimes we have report, report before report if someone died at home when we checked the body with unto gen . i've heard of before her team tried to monitor patients in the area, but there are more than 300 of them and only 30 health workers. as hospitals reached capacity and a forced to turn away critically ill people. roving teams of public health clinic work is a trying to reach those in need of medical attention to monitor their condition and to provide them with oxygen and medication. but there are too many patients and not enough medics and they don't have the time or resources to help everyone in need. the ministry of health, since it is trying to increase medical oxygen production and add more beds in hospitals. but each day, more and more people are falling in

we need to understand, we need to bring the knowledge down here. meanwhile, the second question, where are they? how are they being treated? also, most of them are not being treated. most of them have not been diagnosed. they are considered to be how it is. people turn to be a way of themselves with older age, and people are very compassionate and very caring. they don't put them away. they embrace them. and somehow, they live longer here than in the states diagnosed with alzheimer's. what happened? you have the barrier of the culture, understanding a disease. you have the stigma thinking there are spiritual causes that are related to changes in behavior. these also prevent seeking medical doctors, traditional doctors. we think working with traditional medicine and traditional beliefs is extremely important to help these people that are already suffering and their caregivers. from the other point of view, there are not enough psychiatrists, not enough people trained to diagnose. people sometimes have to walk hours to get into a house that is absolu
