Retrieval note

CDPH overwrote the September 2020 file with the April 2, 2021 version; the September 2020 original was not separately retrieved. Exhibit is the final/archived version; quarters before its date rest on predecessor versions not in the library; quote only for the version's own period; earlier periods are verified_secondary.
