The hearing was 4 hours and was broadcast on Comcast Channel 64. I don't see it posted online yet (apparently they do post recordings of hearings as there is one shown on the City Council website) but you can check this- http://phlcouncil.com/ periodically to see if/when they do post it. I expect they would because of all the interest.

The one thing I did confirm during the hearing was where the CDC's official "quarantine" location is here in Philly - it's at the airport and the guy who casually announced it when testifying was halted by Councilman Curtis Jones (the committee head for Marian Tasco who was in and out) to repeat the info. I had seen an article just last week showing the cities but with no details of where in each. Hunting around, I found that the CDC has info here - http://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/quarantinestationcontactlistfull.html and I confirmed what he said with this - http://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/quarantinestationcontactlistfull.html#philadelphia

Edit to add some articles (with video or audio clips) summarizing some of the testimony -
