Net Log: Sacramento Valley CERT Net About: Sacramento Valley CERT Net Date: May 4, 2020 Net Control: WS6Z Log URL: https://log.hamtools.org/log/view/15 Opening Announcements ------------------------------- Our question tonight was suggested by Gary, WA6TQJ. Thank you for the question Gary! Under what conditions do you think our local city, county, state and country should consider 're-opening' for increased business and returning to more normal ways of life. What stages/steps do you think are necessary? What is your personal opinion on the subject. Please limit this discussion to just your thoughts, refraining from political statements. Now we will begin CERT team roll calls, grouped by participating City CERT teams. We will take any late or missing members after roll call finishes. After roll call, we will call for visiting stations. Davis City CERT ------------------------------- We now ask Davis City CERT members to check into the net. Checkins: WS6Z Wes Hardaker - ideally based on the number of open beds in hospitals KG6SJT Greg Kruckewitt - CDC guidelines are straight forward - can hospitals handle an increased rate - testing people is needed - contact tracing is needed W6KJX Lucile King - Currently being opened way too quickly - Wait until possibility of infection is low - sustained reduction of cases for 14 days KK6POX Heather Spaulding - Maybe opening up schools before people go back to work - thought is that kids are lower risk of spreaders - hard to have work open before schools if parents have to go to work Elk Grove / Galt ------------------------------- We now ask Elk Grove / Galt City CERT members to check into the net. Checkins: KC6SGT George Carrington - based on science - concern to high risk categories - if spikes in area, we should open up more - business owners should make a choice KG6VBM Jim - reduced class rooms and social distancing is necessary - hard to do this with modern school system spaces - still wear masks around KK6QIO June - Longer this goes, the bigger the economic risk KK6QIP Jack - Maintain regular schedule now - limit outings now - wear masks near people - really need to hold back on massive crowds like sports, concerts, etc - we need to open more now KN6AZC Doug - data shows success so far - people are saying to-heck-with-it now Folsom ------------------------------- We now ask Folsom CERT members to check into the net. Checkins: K5FWD David Brock - decisions should be made at lowest level possible - municipalities, counties, etc - northern CA in particular has done a good job - do worry about a second wave - worried about people not wearing masks and not social distancing AA6CS Christopher - we're not doing enough testing now - folsom is involved at cal expo - lack of testing seems like a wide concern there KK6DIM Keith - would like to see more anti-body testing AI6CS Charlie - follow CDC guidelines - start with medical facilities - let directors decide when to do elective procedures - let dentists make decisions - use monitoring tools like google/apples' for example Sacramento Metro Fire CERT ------------------------------- We now ask Sacramento Metro Fire CERT members to check into the net. Checkins: KM6RIW Brad - Deceptively complex question - we've done a good job getting information out - good to push the decision down to individual businesses - concern with employees that aren't comfortable to come back KM6RIX Mike - in and out tonight West Sacramento ------------------------------- We now ask West Sacramento CERT members to check into the net.
