1
00:00:00,226 --> 00:00:02,270
(serene music)

2
00:00:02,270 --> 00:00:04,900
- [Thaddeus] This is an
unprecedented time in our country

3
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:06,458
that we get a chance to serve

4
00:00:06,458 --> 00:00:11,040
on something that is
greater than ourselves.

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,177
We serve our country.

6
00:00:12,177 --> 00:00:15,560
(serene music)

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,900
- The reason why Task Force-Southeast is

8
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:20,840
highly important within
(mumbles) regions three

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,514
and four is because

10
00:00:22,514 --> 00:00:26,190
if a state does not have the capabilities

11
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:29,000
to continue with the fight against COVID,

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,786
the spread is going to continue.

13
00:00:30,786 --> 00:00:33,286
(music plays)

14
00:00:35,386 --> 00:00:37,970
That is when the request
comes to Task Force-Southeast

15
00:00:37,970 --> 00:00:40,747
so we can augment and support each state

16
00:00:40,747 --> 00:00:43,560
to make sure that we
actually stop spreading

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,663
and actually flatten the curve.

18
00:00:47,179 --> 00:00:49,830
Public Health is all about preventing

19
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:51,810
and keeping people healthy.

20
00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:59,265
- My biggest task here is to ensure

21
00:00:59,265 --> 00:01:02,720
that any personnel that we
have leaving the task force

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,110
to go support the mission assignments

23
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:08,073
in the other states are prepared.

24
00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:11,290
We want to make sure that

25
00:01:11,290 --> 00:01:13,880
when they get back that they're monitored,

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,741
and because they're mission
essential personnel,

27
00:01:16,741 --> 00:01:19,530
they still need to come
back and do their jobs,

28
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:21,839
but we also want to make sure
that they don't bring back

29
00:01:21,839 --> 00:01:24,480
anything that they were
potentially exposed to.

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,760
So that's really a big part of my job

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,423
is to monitor the health
of the task force.

32
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:33,010
Also ensuring that they know what

33
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:35,063
their resources are when they get back.

34
00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:38,031
It could be a risk to
the task force personnel

35
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:41,960
who didn't leave, so we're
pretty much just trying to

36
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:44,980
mitigate any COVID-19 risks

37
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:48,350
to our personnel here and going out.

38
00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:51,760
Making sure that early
identification happens

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,320
so that anybody who could
potentially be a risk

40
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240
to the task force is temporarily removed.

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,710
We ask that they go seek
medical care over at the

42
00:02:01,710 --> 00:02:04,350
20th Med Group here at Shaw.

43
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:06,872
You hope for the best,
plan for the worst, but

44
00:02:06,872 --> 00:02:10,230
the hope is that in screening people daily

45
00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:12,320
and that folks actually takes some

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,869
responsibility too for self monitoring.

47
00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:20,771
- We all have to do our parts
to keep each other healthy.

48
00:02:20,771 --> 00:02:23,271
(music plays)

49
00:02:25,263 --> 00:02:26,309
(lively music)

50
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:28,976
(swoosh sounds)

51
00:02:29,891 --> 00:02:32,391
