THE REST IS COMING TO THE FORE, AND MORE THAT THE ONLY A CERTAIN HAS A, YOU KNOW, A REAL VOICE. IT'S MORE REPRESENTATIVE. ON SINCE THE FOUNDING OF THIS OF THIS COUNTRY AND, YOU KNOW, AND WE'VE JUST GOT TO BREAK ARE HELD BY. >>KAMERICK: HOW ABOUT YOU, >>BURK: WELL, I WAS STRUCK BY THE FACT THAT NOTHING HAS AND FIFTY YEARS, IN TERMS OF AND, WHAT IT STILL IS, DESPITE DISTRACTIONS, IS GETTING IN THE SUFFRAGISTS, FINALLY PICKETING

THE STREETS, IT'S FINALLY WHAT DID IT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I KNOW MOST OF YOU DON'T DO (LAUGHTER). DID IT. YOU KNOW, FOR THE THE VIETNAM WAR THAT WAS DONE BY THE FACT THAT TODAY THE SAME >>KAMERICK: PAMELA, WHAT ABOUT >>HERNDON: BY HOW 72 YEARS WATCHED THIS,'TIL I WATCHED THIS REALLY STRUCK ME IS THAT ONCE 1870, WHEN DIVIDE THAT BECAME

REALLY DISHEARTENING. INSTEAD OF THIS PUSHING FURTHER APART, AND THAT WAS UNTIL I HAD A CHANCE TO >>KAMERIC: I DIDN'T REALIZE WATCHED IT. WHAT ABOUT YOU >>RAMOS: WELL, I THOUGHT WE SAW WAS REALLY GOOD IN OF THE IN DIFFERENT DID TALK ABOUT SAID ABORTION, BUT I MEANT WOMEN HAD AND THE REASON THAT WERE UP AT THE STATE CAPITOL RATIFICATION OF THE MEXICO, WE HAD A TABLE FOR THE

WOMAN CAME UP TO US AND STARTED WANTED TO DO AND WHY AND WE WHILE AND THEN WHEN WE SAID WELL SIGN UP SO YOU CAN GET MORE NO. NO, I'M NOT INTERESTED. AND THEN SHE WALKED AWAY AND AND IT'S JUST THAT KIND OF TIMES PUTS US IN CONFLICT WITH ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT WOMEN IN OF IDEAS AND OF THINGS THAT THAT COME ACROSS, YOU KNOW, GO PARTIES AND SUCH. SO, HOW WORKED, EVEN THOUGH THEY WORKED CHAPMAN CATT ON ONE SIDE, ALICE WOMEN THROUGH THE BLACK WOMEN'S

TOO, ??? FOR NATIVE AMERICAN MABEL ???, THE CHINESE YOUNG AND YET SHE WORKED FOR SUFFRAGE. AND SOMETIMES PARALLEL LANES, SAME OBJECTIVE AND I THINK THAT OUR BENEFIT. IT'D BE BETTER IF ALL PUSH, YOU KNOW, IN THE SAME LANES, GENERALLY, I THINK WE CAN >>KAMERICK: SYLVIA, ACTUALLY IT'S INTERESTING AS I LEARNED IN THE FIRST EPISODE, THE WEST THE COUNTRY IN GRANTING OUT THERE IT HAD A LOT TO DO WITH EMPIRE WHITE WOMEN OUT WEST. BUT,

DIFFERENT TRAJECTORY AND THEY WERE A COUPLE OF THE >>RAMOS CRUZ: I THINK IN TERMS ADELINA OTERO WARREN, OR NINA AURORA LUCERO, WHO,HAPPENED TO BOTH RELATED TO SOLOMON LUNA WHO LEADER IN THE TERRITORIAL I THINK WERE VERY IMPORTANT. WHEN THE CONGRESSIONAL >>KAMERICK: THAT'S ALICE PAUL'S >>SLYVIA: THAT'S CORRECT. CONVENTION TO TRY TO GET

AND ALL THAT SHE AND WOMEN WAS SUFFRAGE IN TERMS OF BEING BOARDS AND SUCH. THEY COULDN'T ANYTHING ELSE, BUT THEY WERE THAT POINT BECAUSE THEY KNEW IN THE FUTURE. BUT, HAVING ONE HAVING NO FOOT IN. >>GRANT: ACROSS THE COUNTRY, NEW MEXICO HAS BEEN LAUDED FOR TO COVID-19. THE STATE STOCKED PANDEMIC EXPERTS TO BETTER TRACK THE PROCESS. FIGHTING LAB CAPABILITY. ON MAY 8, NMIF HEALTH SECRETARY KATHY KUNKEL MADE. AS YOU'LL SEE, TWO MONTHS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO TO TEST

>>Kunkel: WE OPERATE AT RAPID BUT I SAY WE AND THE DEPARTMENT IS A LIGHTNING SPEED PROCESS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, AS WE WERE AN OUTSTANDING PARTNER AND LABORATORIES, TRICORPS, THE TO INCREASE THEIR CAPACITY AND AROUND THE STATE THAT CAN DO TO BE UPGRADED, TESTED, WORK. AND WE GOT TO A PLACE WHERE WHERE THEY COULD DO THAT IS ASSUMING EVERYTHING INSTRUMENT SIDE. A MACHINE THAT DOESN'T BREAK YOU HAVE TO HAVE SUFFICIENT

SO, ON ANY GIVEN DAY THERE CAN THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TOO OFTEN. ONLY REASON BUT THAT HAS OTHER LABS HAVE TO BE RUN FOR RESPIRATORY PANELS ARE RUN ON SOMETIMES HAVE TO BE RUN FOR OTHER TYPES OF INFECTIONS. CAPACITY CAN FLUCTUATE THEIR STAFF AND OTHER DEMAND IS MINOR. ON THE OTHER SIDE YOU HAVE OUR CAPACITIES, TESTING PEOPLE ON GET TO BE VERY CONCRETE SO PROCESSING OF A SPECIMEN AND WE TEND TO LUMP THEM TOGETHER ARE TWO DIFFERENT PARTS OF A WE HAVE EXPANDED THE LABS'

DAY. SUCCESS IN INCREASING MY SO, MORE THAN HALF OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION STATE, COMPLETELY UNDER HEALTH. PRESBYTERIAN, LOVELACE, GERALD CHAMPION, THOSE PRIVATE KITS AND SENDING THEM OUT. FORCE ON THAT END CAN BE AND THAT WAS SOMETIMES PART OF WEREN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE OUT I AM WORKING ON THAT. WE ARE BACK UP TO 5,000. WHICH I BELIEVE THE GOVERNOR WE BEING THE DEPARTMENT OF

EVERY COUNTY. ARE ACTUALLY AS MANY AS 80 AT ON THE WEBSITE. TIMES AND DIFFERENT DAYS AND UP, MAYBE FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS AND GET TESTED, BUT THAT FEWER PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THEY STILL NEED TO BE THERE IN REMOTE AREAS NEED TO BE THEY NEED TO STAY. STRATEGY WHERE WE ARE USING SPECIFIC HIGH RISK POPULATIONS SO THAT EVOLUTION, I THINK, ABILITY TO MAXIMIZE OUR LAB >>GRUBS: ON THOSE DAYS WHEN THE CAPACITY, DO YOU CONSIDER THAT WASTED DAY? THAT AND HOW DO YOU LOOK TO

>> Kunkel: THAT IS PAINFUL. IS A BIG CONCERN. HEALTH TESTING TEAM AT 6:15 IN AFTERNOON. DAY AND MEET AGAIN AT THE END I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASKS MORNING. EVERYDAY. WHY. IT AS A FAILURE. KEEP DOING BETTER FOR THE WE HAVE TO DO BETTER AND I GROUND, THEY ARE DOING THE WE SHIFT GEARS RAPIDLY IN THE IF I GET NOTICE FROM THE IS A POSITIVE IN A NURSING

SO, THEN, A CERTAIN TEAM HAS TEST EVERYBODY AND WE MAY NOT WE THOUGHT WE WOULD GET TO. ME IS TO INCREASE THE WORK THAT. NOW HAS A MUCH HIGHER GOAL SO WORKFORCE TO DO THIS TYPE OF BUT IT FEELS BAD. DON'T HIT THAT. TO MAKE SURE WE COULD DO IT THAT IS, YEAH, PROBLEMATIC. >> Matt: THE GOVERNOR'S GOAL, >> Kunkel: 7,500. >> Matt: ARE MOST OF THOSE THE EQUATION THAT YOU TALKED OF THOSE LABS IN STATE OR ARE

>> Kunkel: RIGHT NOW, OUR AND STATE LABS IS BULK OF IT. OUT-OF-STATE LABS THAT DO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH; LABCORPS NAVAJO NATION. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST, QUEST, AND NOW THAT WE HAVE SOME OF TESTING, THEY ALSO REPORT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH JEWISH IN DENVER TO EXTEND THE LAB. THEIR CAPACITY. CONTRIBUTORS TO OUR TESTING >> Matt: OKAY. THAT IS ERD IS >>Kunkel: YES, IN THE DEPARTMENT

>> Matt: I APPRECIATE YOU SORT A LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY I IMAGINE THAT IS ONE OF THE WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBERS CAN COUNT MAJORITY OF VAST IN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES. POSITIVE TEST IN A LONG-TERM >> Kunkel: YES. THAT IS OUR STRATEGY. THE TESTING TEAM DOES. OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN THERE ONCE IT IS IN A NURSING HOME, ARREST. REVIEW EVERYDAY AND DHI DOES. IMPROVEMENT, PART OF THE RESPONSIBLE FOR LICENSING SURVEYORS AND ALL SURVEYORS

NURSING HOMES. THEY DO VIDEO MONITORING. GLOVING, INFECTION CONTROL, STAFF COMES IN. THIS IS MORE ANECDOTAL THAN THERE ARE ASYMPTOMATIC STAFF BEEN UNFORTUNATELY PROBABLY IN. THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE INFECTION CONTROL TECHNIQUES WHEN WE GET ONE POSITIVE, WE TO DO TEST EVERYBODY. UNTIL THEY DON'T HAVE ANYMORE. POSITIVE, I THINK WE HAVE SIX HAVE MORE THAN 10 POSITIVE, WE MANAGING THAT. SO, WE HAVE TWO >> Matt: OKAY. >> Kunkel: EVERY NURSING HOMES.

WITH KITS TWO WEEKS AGO SURVEYING YOUR POPULATION. DO 50% OF YOUR POPULATION AND THAT. THEN THE DOH TESTING TEAM GOES OF AGING AND LONG-TERM STAFF WITH AN OMBUDSMAN, SHE JOINT EFFORT WITH THE DIVISION TEAM, EXPERTS, I HAVE A AGING. TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO CONTROL, PROVIDE WHATEVER >> Matt: SURE. NEXT PHASE OF WHAT NEW MEXICO AS PEOPLE LOOK TO RETURN TO WHAT IS YOUR DESIRE IN TERMS OFTEN WHEN PEOPLE START COMING UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO, THE GOVERNMENT, THAT SORT OF

WHO DO YOU WANT TESTED AND HOW >> Kunkel: WE DON'T HAVE A THIS IS PART OF THE MEDICAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE SHARED RETURNS. YET OR A DEFINITE ANSWER, BUT WORKING. ARE STILL OUT THERE. SCHOOL NECESSARILY, BUT WE HAVE RAPID TESTING FOR PERSONNEL. AROUND THEIR TESTING QUICKLY. TERMS OF WHO WILL BE TESTED WHAT ROLE WILL SEROLOGICAL EMPLOYMENT, WE ARE STILL A CLEAR RESPONSE YET. >> Matt: THE SEROLOGICAL IS >> Kunkel: CORRECT, BLOOD

SWAB, WHICH IS WHAT WE USE TO >> Matt: >> Kunkel: SO, IF YOU DO A TEST WILL TELL YOU IF YOU HAVE DID HAVE IT. WE DON'T KNOW. TO WORK, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW. SURE AND STATE WILL BE TESTING, BECAUSE WE MAY WANT WHERE DO WE SEE LARGE POCKETS OF COMMUNITIES AND DO AND THERE IS A TEAM STUDYING TO THE GOVERNOR AS WE MOVE AND THERE WILL BE A ROLE FOR TO BE A ROLE FOR VIRAL TESTING THAT TELLS YOU IF YOU ACTIVELY STILL NEED TO DO THAT. WE DO IT IS STILL UNDER DEBATE >> Matt: WE JUST HAVE A FEW

GOAL OR TIMELINE FOR DECIDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RETURN TO >> Kunkel: I THINK WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW. WORKING ON THIS. TEAM, THE RECOVERY COUNCIL AND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ARE THINK THOSE DECISIONS TO THE USING THE BEST INFORMATION WE TRIES TO OPEN UP, WITH MOVE FORWARD. I THINK THAT WE WANT TO SEE I DON'T KNOW WHO DOESN'T HAVE MORE PEOPLE OUT IN PUBLIC AND POSITIVES? WE HAVE TO KEEP IT FLAT. THEN, I THINK, ALL OF OUR RE-EXAMINED.
