In CA, science will determine when a school can be physically open--and when it must close. But learning must be non-negotiable.

Schools must provide meaningful learning during #COVID19. And we must do everything we can to keep our teachers, staff & students safe. That means:
1) Safe in-person school based on local health data.

Schools located in counties that are on CA’s Monitoring List must NOT physically open for in-person instruction until their county has come off the Monitoring List for 14 consecutive days.
When does a physically open school need to close?

Following a confirmed case of #COVID19 at school, those exposed should be quarantined for 14 days. The school should revert to distance learning when multiple cohorts have cases or 5% of students & staff test positive in 14-days.

CA is flattening the curve, but the reality is #COVID19 is not going away soon.

Our re-opening must be gradual, guided by public health and science, and will be done in the following STAGES:
STAGE 1: Safety and Preparedness.

This is where we are now.

Staying home and flattening the curve.

Building out our testing, PPE, and hospital capacity.

Making our essential workplaces as safe as possible.

And preparing sector-by-sector guidelines for a safe re-opening.
STAGE 2: Lower Risk Workplaces

Gradually re-opening some lower risk workplaces with adaptations.

This will include:
- Retail (e.g. curbside pickup)
- Manufacturing
- Offices (when telework not possible)
- More public spaces

Doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing the same way they do for insulin or antibiotics.
We need to start targeting social determinants of health. We need to start treating brain health like we do physical health.

What’s more fundamental to a person’s well being than a roof over their head?
10 million Californians—1 in 4—suffer from some type of behavioral health condition.

It’s not a narrow issue.

It’s not a new issue.

Physical health and brain health are inextricably linked.

And our healthcare system has been designed to treat only one of those.

Tonight @realDonaldTrump offered a dark view of an America in which healthcare is taken from the sick, tax cuts are given to the wealthy, and our climate crisis is ignored.

It doesn’t have to be like this. CA is PROOF that progressive policies & economic growth go hand in hand.
We're producing more income and output and investing more in our people than any state in history -- all while building the nation’s strongest fiscal foundation.

Unemployment at record lows. 118 months of consecutive job growth. In fact -- 1 in 7 US jobs come from California.
And we do this while standing up for our values.

A woman’s right to choose.
Labor rights.
LGBTQ rights.
Access to high-quality healthcare--including mental health.
Protecting our air and land from Trump’s polluters.
And common-sense gun laws to end this epidemic of gun violence.

Spending some time looking back on 2019. CA made some serious "first-in-the-nation" and big moves...
- First-in-the-nation subsidies for middle-income families-- expanding access and making healthcare MORE affordable.

- First-in-the-nation ban on “pay for delay” practices: blocking Big Pharma from keeping generic drugs off the market.
- First-in-the-nation to allow access to HIV prevention medication without a doctor’s prescription.

- First-in-the-nation to challenge the NCAA with @KingJames and allow student athletes to receive compensation from the use of their name, image, and likeness.

Californians should not pay the price for decades of PG&E’s greed and neglect. PG&E must be held to account for their gross mismanagement of the power shutoffs that impacted nearly 2 million Californians last week.
Because of PG&E, Californians were forced to seek electricity for basic necessities, shut down their businesses, or travel to parking lots to keep medical devices charged. PG&E should provide affected customers compensation for their hardships -- an automatic credit or rebate.
The mismanagement of the power shutoffs last week was unacceptable. The California Public Utilities Commission will be conducting a serious and comprehensive review of PG&E’s planning, implementation, and decision-making process failures.
