Below you will find the Mercatus Center's latest published research. I am happy to answer any questions and connect you with our scholars to discuss their work further. New Mercatus Publications on the COVID-19 Pandemic: • Reforming Medicaid Reimbursement before the Next Pandemic o The CARES Act provides increased state funding for COVID-19 diagnosis and testing. However, discrepancies in future Medicaid funding to states require some changes to help prepare them for future shocks to the program. • Resolving Roadblocks to Activating Additional Physicians o Doctors are desperately needed to fight COVID-19, however, insurers, state licensing boards, and burdensome regulations stand in the way of helping more patients. This brief highlights practical changes to increase the number of physicians in states. • Legal Liability and COVID-19 Recovery o Economic uncertainty created by the current crisis undoubtedly is causing future liability concerns. With many states beginning to reopen,this brief details what governments should do to help businesses and economies reopen,while helping businesses protect their workers and responsibly deal with liability. • Protecting the Presumption of Freedom o Helping businesses and reviving employment does not require government growth, it requires respect for the freedom of individuals to create, innovate, and build. There are three simple reforms that can unleash the power of freedom:the Right to Earn a Living Act,the Permit Freedom Act, and the Home-Based Business Fairness Act. • Conducting the 2020 Census under Risk of Contagion o The Census Bureau should conduct pilot projects to test and verify virus-safe practices for collecting information. If successful,the 2020 Census will provide a proven baseline of virus-safe practices that other businesses can confidently replicate. Should you have any questions,would like to learn more about these issues, or would like to speak to the authors, please reply to this email and I will be happy to facilitate a conversation.

There are restaurant patrons gathered on both sides of the street, parkways, etc. and the music is very loud as well as presenting an unsafe environment. This is a residential neighborhood...not downtown Main Street and I can't believe this is being allowed during COVID-19 or at any other time. The police have been informed by myself and other neighbors so we'll see if any action is taken. It's hard to believe the disregard and disrespect that this restaurant owner and the HB City Council have for our residential neighborhood.

I was on a Zoom Lions District 4-L4 virtual meeting Last night with clubs in my district,which includes Lions Clubs in Orange County and the Foothill area. One attendee mentioned that he recently visited downtown HB and was surprised to find several non-essential businesses open. What's going on? Does HB have a state of California exemption or are your downtown businesses in violation? Obviously,it's not safe. Please clarify what is happening.

If you listen to the physicians, scientists and/or leaders who have demonstrated guidance that has flattened the curve and provided direction to help reduce actives that put people in danger, Huntington Beach and Orange County have done the polar opposite. Opening beaches, not mandating or at least providing direction in wearing face masks and practicing true social distancing continues to show in the continuous increase in Covid 19 cases and deaths in Orange County. I do not feel safe leaving my home. The numbers of people on PCH, Main Street and on every street without masks and congregating together is unacceptable. Individuals like myself, should be able to walk my dog, go to the grocery store or enjoy a few minutes of fresh air without being mobbed by people on every street corner who are not wearing masks or practicing social distancing. There has been pool parties at the Paseo and Hilton Hotels, large parties at peoples apartments and homes, 5 -6 officers coming together on beach parking lots without masks every morning and standing right next to each other in plain sight for everyone to see. What I highlight above are just a few examples of lack of leadership from all levels of government officials within Huntington Beach community. I deal with helping health systems every day with how to manage and return to a new safe normal in the COVID environment and what I am seeing from Huntington Beach is downright scary. I am sharing with you the Math Beyond Social Distancing incase you have not seen it. Please use this,as well as,the tons of scientific data points available to guide your decisions moving forward. Making the right decisions will save lives, reduce the numbers of people being infected and reduce the amount of time that people need to be quarantined.The data shows, without any question,that if you do not do this the numbers will continue to multiply and the time frames of quarantine will continue to be extended. Fighting the smart direction that the governor and officials in other California counties is truly a shock to me and many of the other informed and intelligent residents of Orange County. As I have done in my 2 previous emails,that I did not receive a response from you or anyone in your administration, my offer to help your team is still there. I hope to see some drastic changes in the immediate future. https://www.latimes.co /califomia/ tort'/2020-05-15/orange-countys-coronavirus-spike- continues-as-case-count-passes-4-000?_amp=true&_twitter impression=true <image001 jpg> Stay Safe and do what is right to protect the people you serve.

This clearly has the effect of eliminating comment from those most at risk from COVID-19 at a meeting whose agenda includes an item to reduce protection from COVID-19. All sources of public information agree that those at risk—senior citizens, diabetics, asthmatics, heart patients—should avoid being out in public. Thus the stated policy is discriminatory. I hope you will reconsider.

I really appreciate your time during a crisis like now. When you have time, can you please review the following: The billions of animal lives lost yearly to slaughter is morally unacceptable and causing world-ending disasters including climate change,zoonotic pandemics COVID-19, and wildfires. World-renowned humanitarian, artist,and spiritual Master, Supreme Master Ching Hai has a message titled"Supreme Master Ching Hai's URGENT Message to All World Leaders and Governments"addressing why we must implement Vegan Law right away: hnps:Hsuprememasterty.com/enl/v/`90753335579.html Please watch the above message from the Supreme Master Ching Hai. I pray there will soon be Vegan Laws globally to abolish all forms of animal suffering so we stop breeding future pandemics. I also hope you will lead citizens to a loving and compassionate lifestyle, where we don't harm any living beings. This will help create a truly safe and heavenly planet for all of us.

Resident of Huntington Beach. I'd like to thank Jill Hardy and Erik Peterson for holding down the fort and allowing nature revitalization and Barbara Delgleize for calling me many years ago about a long overdue Park expansion. I've submitted five vast runnable homeless proof Park plans. No water, restrooms or play equipment is required. The anodized railing can also be utilized. Runnable open space is crucial to heart health,commerce& farming.At this time it is likely we will need massive eminent domain or neighborly negotiations in many counties to re-establish farming and a massive solar power industry. Over-development and the destruction of the outer Bolsa Chica Wetlands is the problem. Don't take the bait and build this Orange County homeless government dormitory on Beach Boulevard. USB funds should have been amended to include parks in the State Assembly. We should quietly utilize no more than 10 of Governor Gavin Newsom's homeless trailers on an existing City parking lot for the time being. Let us focus on real land value so we don't run into these problems again and then we can get restaurants like Taste of France and Sizzler back in renovated abandoned units. Please consider my Park plans thoroughly and consider how to request President Trump to deploy Federal Hazmat Troops to make sure that infected people stay quarantined. There is also a consistent sewage smell at the Main and Yorktown Del Taco drive-thru menu and I'm concerned there is a broken pipe and that sewage is spilling into the ground. I don't have time for this so I'm requesting that every leader on Earth be recalled and that City Manager Chi be fired tonight. Thank you
