1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,450
good evening everyone so I have some
handouts in the back that speak about

2
00:00:06,350 --> 00:00:18,330
coronavirus fact sheet a keeping your
home safe and also one for you who's

3
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:22,920
that higher risk and that's the elderly
right senior citizens with especially

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:30,029
people with underlying chronic diseases
lung disease diabetes heart disease

5
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:36,059
immuno compress compromised people okay
those people are getting hit hard and

6
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,120
you've heard today the man was
testifying in Congress it's it's not the

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:45,120
flu
it's the flu on steroids so the flu it

8
00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:51,270
may kill the corona virus may kill ten
times the number of people as the flu

9
00:00:48,059 --> 00:00:56,750
virus does okay so last week governor
Murphy you've all been listening to the

10
00:00:53,879 --> 00:01:01,620
TV and radio declared new jersey a
declaration of emergency New York has

11
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:07,350
the same thing today the World Health
Organization declared the corona virus a

12
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:11,430
pandemic what does that mean that means
there sustained

13
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:17,640
person-to-person transmission in many
countries around the world all right the

14
00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:22,770
thing with the corona virus it's a novel
virus you'll hear that word novel that's

15
00:01:19,710 --> 00:01:29,040
a means it's a new new virus right so
all people are susceptible nobody has

16
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:35,280
immune antibodies built up so everyone
is susceptible there is no vaccine there

17
00:01:32,549 --> 00:01:39,869
is no particular treatment medical
treatment there may be experimental

18
00:01:37,290 --> 00:01:47,700
things but no defined medical treatment
it's all supportive mostly at this point

19
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:54,810
well much remains to be unknown about
the corona corona virus its impact in

20
00:01:52,140 --> 00:02:00,600
epidemiology the health experts tell us
that we should proceed on the assumption

21
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:05,790
okay that the virus will spread more
broadly around the world in New Jersey

22
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:10,619
the United States and in the community
of Long Branch so what does that mean it

23
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:13,860
means the one of the things there's most
people

24
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:18,420
fortunately for many people young
people we're always concerned about

25
00:02:15,390 --> 00:02:23,850
young people they may not they get sick
but they recover all right the ones at

26
00:02:21,150 --> 00:02:28,620
high risk we're like I mentioned are the
people who are older adults people have

27
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:36,000
serious chronic health conditions right
we think that it's spread as the flu

28
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:40,740
person-to-person primarily which means
between two people are in close contact

29
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:45,510
with each other somebody coughs has it
the droplet is spread you either breathe

30
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:50,520
it in or you touch a surface where the
droplets on and then you touch your

31
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:56,670
mouth eyes nose this kind of thing
that's how it's transmitted it may be

32
00:02:52,500 --> 00:03:01,470
and may well be transmitted by surface
you see people disinfecting surfaces all

33
00:02:58,890 --> 00:03:07,430
the time how long the virus would live
on a surface is no one quite knows all

34
00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:14,640
right but you see people as a precaution
disinfecting surfaces all the time

35
00:03:11,070 --> 00:03:19,680
let's see okay the other thing about the
corona corona virus is that it has

36
00:03:17,459 --> 00:03:25,110
spikes on the outside if you ever seen
the the pictures of the virus and it

37
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:30,830
appears that those spikes enable it to
attach more easily to cells in your body

38
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:36,989
once you get exposed to it
symptoms to look out for after 2 to 14

39
00:03:34,290 --> 00:03:41,580
days of exposure if you were exposed to
someone who had the disease or so or

40
00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:47,549
maybe picked it up and then the virus
and then touched your eyes and your nose

41
00:03:44,340 --> 00:03:53,220
their mouth this kind of thing you want
it's gonna be a fever persistent cough

42
00:03:50,220 --> 00:03:59,700
and a shortness of breath it very much
mirrors the cold and the flu so it's

43
00:03:55,260 --> 00:04:05,370
very hard to discern what you may have
but if you have any of those conditions

44
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:09,209
we ask that you stay home self isolate
yourself all right

45
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:14,370
call your health care provider you will
get talk to them as there is no

46
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:18,269
treatment there's not a lot of testing
the testing right now is that done at

47
00:04:16,260 --> 00:04:24,030
the hospitals but the gatekeeper is the
state so it's not that easy unless you

48
00:04:21,570 --> 00:04:27,639
have a specific where they can rule out
all other things and then coronavirus

49
00:04:26,789 --> 00:04:31,300
may be the one
thing that they're suspect that's going

50
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:35,979
to be one where they're going to test so
the testing is unfortunately it's a

51
00:04:33,789 --> 00:04:39,430
little limited right now so you want to
call your doctor and you want to get

52
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:44,379
advice because you want to monitor
yourself because it can go south very

53
00:04:42,069 --> 00:04:48,490
quickly if you and you'll know you're
not going to be feel well at all that's

54
00:04:46,419 --> 00:04:54,189
when you want to present to the ER room
okay but call ahead to the ER room we

55
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:59,889
know from past experience that that
there's going to be 10 worried well for

56
00:04:56,590 --> 00:05:05,169
each sick person so if everybody runs to
the ER you're going to overwhelm the

57
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:09,520
system so you're gonna stay home most
people will recover staying home and it

58
00:05:07,779 --> 00:05:12,279
won't be you know it's not going to be a
vacation but it's gonna be your going to

59
00:05:11,770 --> 00:05:17,879
recover
but if you're in that high-risk group

60
00:05:14,229 --> 00:05:24,159
you need to really pay attention to this
so there's an 800 number if you want

61
00:05:21,150 --> 00:05:29,259
24/7 the poison control hotline that's
in the handout remember what can you do

62
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:34,089
your mother told you your grandmother
told you wash your hands frequently wash

63
00:05:31,810 --> 00:05:37,990
your hands I'm meaning wash your hands
the hand sanitizer I know it's hard to

64
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:46,419
get but if you can get hand sanitizer
use that if you anything over 60%

65
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:53,949
alcohol in it would be is sufficient
okay clean and disinfect surfaces bleach

66
00:05:51,069 --> 00:05:57,909
is an all-purpose cleaner disinfect
there's clean means you wash with soap

67
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:02,259
and water disinfect means you're using
some kind of agent bleach would be a

68
00:06:00,370 --> 00:06:08,439
common thing ten to one
dilution and water and practice social

69
00:06:05,949 --> 00:06:12,729
distancing in other words don't go in
large crowds you can see where many

70
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:18,610
events are being canceled where they
have a thousand people four thousand

71
00:06:15,310 --> 00:06:24,219
people that may become more common even
smaller gatherings but if you can stay

72
00:06:21,729 --> 00:06:27,669
if you have six grandchildren don't
bring them over to Nana please don't

73
00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:32,379
bring her over them over there don't
expose them tell them they should you

74
00:06:30,339 --> 00:06:38,120
know be careful about limiting how much
they go out and so forth so that's where

75
00:06:35,949 --> 00:06:42,410
we are right now kind of
all we could tell you it is a novel

76
00:06:40,910 --> 00:06:49,520
we're learning as we go along
everything is very dynamic and changing

77
00:06:45,229 --> 00:06:55,100
every day but if you see Italy is a
modern country right it's completely

78
00:06:52,130 --> 00:07:00,590
shut down the whole country now we're
not there yet in the US or New Jersey I

79
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:06,889
mean we only have 23 positives and one
person who has died but it could go

80
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:13,010
there so you will be seen more you've
seen in New York containment areas

81
00:07:09,850 --> 00:07:16,940
limiting of large events don't be
shocked I want you to be prepared if you

82
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:22,370
start seeing those kind I mean we have a
emergency order in place and you may see

83
00:07:19,460 --> 00:07:28,100
those kind of things people events being
canceled that's happening already so

84
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:34,310
forth so if you can it's not too late
stock up on supplies because of you we

85
00:07:31,070 --> 00:07:40,490
are doing investigations it's not just
containment any more travel restrictions

86
00:07:37,340 --> 00:07:45,020
it's now mitigation which means if we
can identify an infected person we

87
00:07:43,070 --> 00:07:51,260
interview that person we find out their
contacts close contacts in the last day

88
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:57,740
or two then we issue a quarantine order
to those people to stay home for 14 days

89
00:07:54,740 --> 00:08:02,870
and it's voluntary quarantine with self
monitoring of your temperature and so

90
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:09,349
forth but if some people violate the
quarantine it's going to be a mandatory

91
00:08:04,789 --> 00:08:14,930
court order to stay home quarantine we
haven't done that in the United States

92
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:21,620
and a long time so maybe since the flu
pandemic in 1918 or smallpox but I you

93
00:08:20,419 --> 00:08:28,010
need to be prepared
that's may where this may be going we

94
00:08:25,419 --> 00:08:35,110
what can I say we hope for the best but
we have to plan for the worst all right

95
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,110
so thank you Mary thank you thank you

96
00:08:41,740 --> 00:08:43,800
you
