Hey ladies! Wanted to open this up with some links to resources as far as COVID19 goes in Colorado. Remember that Alyssa and I are with you 100% of the way and we are more than ready to help with anything you might need. Below are some great resources from all over the web with a wide array of what you might need to get through these times. Feel free to contribute to the resources, but try to keep most of the chatter to a minimum so we can stay organized.

Love you all!

—— CO COVID Q&A NOTES from 3/25 ——

Not sure if anyone else was on the city council q&a call just now. I actually took notes! ~45k people on the line, most were calling in with questions on the assistance programs/benefits/what the eff is going on. Some were business owners who have had to lay employees off, people who lost their jobs, etc, and they mentioned there are resources to assist. Anyway, enjoy my fast and choppy notes. Main takeaway is to visit your counties web sites since that is where they post their assistance programs. I'll just leave this here if anyone needs it.

phone conference line: 8554363656

Colorado labor:
• benefits organized by last name
 colorado.gov/cdle
• reach out to lenders/banks for their plan since most are offering some leniency
• local county department webpage
• google your counties human services page

State wide testing is mostly at smaller facilities but expanding to more locations:
• commercial labs
• labcore
• quest
• larger hospitals
• other smaller hospitals are coming up with ways to test

Medical:
• tricountyhealth tchd.org
• covid19.colorado.gvo
 colorado.gov/peak for human services/programs/general assistance

For Adams County:
• taking applications remotely. slightly backed up but working to get through applications. go to coloradopeak.org
• mailing out ebt cards.
• adams county human services web page
• coloradopeak, colorado work program to apply for cash benefits.

Police not setting up check points. mostly hoping for peer pressure. should only have essential employees on the road or running short errands.

Jury duty can be ignored until April 6th.

Significant impact on economy. however we are the number 1 economy 3 years running. best job market in america noted in january.

Can people access 401k plan without being penalized? Some working with feds for relief, but thats federal tax policy.

Shelter in place

Can go out for essential services, pharmaceuticals. can run/job/bike, but should not do this with others. mostly trying to avoid large gatherings.

Current state of covid in Colorado:
• We are in acceleration phase. more and more positive tests. will increase for a while, then leveling off. expect to have a change in life style for a few more weeks. the cases we see today were transmitted 2-3 weeks ago. if we can push the transmission down then we can navigate the upcoming surge.

Small business owner who laid off 13 people, employees have had to apply for unemployment- situations similar to this can see these resources:
• denverchamber.org- resources available
• coloradocbdc is offering loans for economic disaster plan, low interest rates.
 colorado.gov/peak to apply for assistance.
• food assistance for families, self, and business assistance on each counties web site.
 tchg.org for updates on the situation
• Walmart is currently hiring 150k extra people
