Covid, as we deal with Climate Change as we deal with a number of other challenges we need to keep in mind that the need to wear your mask to socially distance and to even be just reminding ourselves and being a little more diligent throughout this process is necessary. Because we are also focusing on making sure that as we as we reopen we dont turn back the clock. You all know what happened a few months ago when one day, i announced we were going to be opening a number of places and today, some of those places are open, and some of those places are not open. But we do have some good news hair salons and nail salons and other places from my perspective that cannot open outdoors are able to operate indoors. I know those businesses are going to be working hard to stay open. Theyre going to follow the guidelines and we need your cooperation too in not only supporting the businesses and following the guidelines in those businesses but following the guidelines outside of your every day everyday life. We know this is necessary so we dont turn the clock backwards. We know there are a number of places able to operate, including salon and massage locations and nail and barber shopped. Weve expanded the capacity of churches outdoors. We know this is not enough. We want to do more, and everything is contingent on where we are with the numbers. Yesterday, there was just a slight glimmer when we opened the learning hubs. Kids were available to come together in their variety of cohorts, and they were able to learn their lessons with people that could help them. We are hopeful if we get to a better number we will be able to open up. What weve been able to do as a city is provide Financial Resources early on. We know at the end of this month, the Eviction Moratorium on commercial evictions will expire and the way that we are able to help that depends on how we do in the future. As i said, we are doing everything we can to work with the Governors Office to make sure that we can extend that just to give Small Businesses a little bit of assurance. We know that before this pandemic Small Businesses were suffering, and we have a number of initiatives that were putting forward to try to provide some financial relief. We have seen so many businesses across this state that are shutting their doors for good, and weve heard from so many other other businesses that have already shut their doors. I know people are pretty much tired of what were living in as it relates to covid. Im tired of talking about it im tired of living it things that youre going through because i want to live my life. I want to get back to the normal. But we want to protect our children and the elderly. We want to protect them, and we dont want to roll back the clock. If i know anything about this city we can sacrifice this time to get to a better future. We can sacrifice this time so that kids and grandparents are able it. Weve got through challenging times before and we will get through this challenging time once again and we will look back and think wow if we can get through that, we can get through anything and it also will make us a stronger, more resilient city. This time is really testing our ability, its testing our resolve. And if i know anything about the people of San Francisco, i know this i know that we are strong i know that we are fearless. I know that when things happen in San Francisco, the rest of the country follows. And so and so the work that we have done here in reducing the number of deaths and being the first out of the gate to say that were going to shutdown, and being leaders around Greenhouse Gas emissions and combatting Climate Change head on the work weve done around Eviction Moratoriums you name it we have been the leaders and others have followed. And so we will get through this. It is going to require a lot out of each and every one of us and so i ask you to continue to do your part, and to remember what you do impacts me and what i do impacts you. Thank you for all that you do to keep this city going. Its a challenging time. Its time to uplift one another, its time to put some energy in the air. Enough with the complaints, enough with the negativity, enough with the divisiveness. Enough with that. We have an opportunity to do in the first of the pandemic, when notes were given to neighbors what can i do for you . We have an opportunity to do for one another and put positivity in the air. Were not going to get through this on our own, were going to get through this together, and im counting on each and every one of us. Thank you all so much and at this time, i want to welcome the director of Public Health dr. Grant colfax. Good morning. Im dr. Grant colfax, director of Public Health. And thank you, mayor breed for your remarks and your ongoing leadership during this unprecedented time. This week, some of our local businesses opened their doors for the first time in many months. I want to acknowledge the sacrifice and perseverance of their owners and the employees. Thank you so much for helping make our Community Safer during these past months. As you reopen thank you for keeping safety at the forefront. We are indeed in this for the long haul. Whether we think of this as a marathon or a longerinning game our perseverance is necessary for us to carry forward. For us to continue reopening in San Francisco, to carefully add limited Indoor Services, to bring children back into classrooms, to rebuild our economy as safely as possible, we all have to remain vigilant in our fight against this virus. And we do know more about the virus today than we did six or even three months ago. We know more about the data the science the facts including the risk and preventative measures we can and must take to continue to slow the spread of the virus. It is why San Franciscos approach has been to open incrementally so that we can manage the reed of covid19 as much as possible and sustain the progress that we have made. As we continue to reopen schools and indoor businesses it is important that we continue to track the virus. We do that by tracking the local covid19 data. The five key health indicators, which i encourage everyone to follow online, at datasf. Gov track data keeping the numbers stable and managing risk of infection. I look the health department, many of us across the city because i hear from you, look at this data closely on a daily basis. It helps drive our decisions on reopening San Francisco so lets take a few minutes to look at some of these data with regard to where we are today. Weve had 10,430 san franciscans diagnosed with covid19, and satly, 91 of them sadly 91 of them from died. My thoughts are with their loved ones their friends, and their community. We also know that 51 of people with positive cases have identified as latino. But lets look at some graphics. Here is the number of lets go back to that first slide, please. This is the number of covid19 cases diagnosed in our city at this time. Our case growth remains stubbornly in the red zone at about 61 new cases a day. This number has been slowly trending downward for the past few weeks, but we must remain vigilant and i must say with labor day and the crowds, we must continue to mask, to socially distance to avoid Mass Gatherings whenever possible. We know from the data that this virus is responsive to our prevention measures. If we are careful and thoughtful if we get to that 80 masking prevalence, if we keep 6 feet apart if we avoid large gatherings the virus slows down, and if we dont do those things the virus speeds up. Its really that simple at this point. Lets go to slide 2. This is the history of hospitalizations of covid19 patients across our hospitals in the city. Again, these data are available to review on our data tracker but you can see that our happenings are hospitalizations are starting to rise again on that far left of the slide. We have had a 29 increase recent increase in covid19 patients in San Francisco hospitals recently. We do have sufficient Hospital Capacity for them now and this is one of the key indicators that we monitor very closely. I also want to take a moment to emphasize the pattern that we see on this slide since the beginning of the slide. San francisco we didnt just flatten the curve we crushed the curve, seeing cases go down to a low of 26 in june. We saw an increase, that surge that we talked about starting in late june early july peaking at 111 hospitalizations. That numbers started to go down again. We went down to 51, and we are starting to see an increase again. But we can do this again. We did it twice, we can do it again. Lets flatten and crush that curve for the fall. Next slide. With regard to testing, we are now testing an average of more than 3400 people a day for covid19. 3400 people a day in San Francisco are getting tested for covid19. Thats nearly twice our goal. We are following the virus and targeting our testing where the virus is most common in the city. We are focusing on vulnerable populations and people who are exposed to the virus and people within those systems. And within our testing system, i am pleased to say that our turnaround time for test results is down to less than 1. 5 days. Our other covid19 indicators and case investigation, Contact Tracing, the personal protective equipment or p. P. E. Remains steady. It is still our goal to reach 90 of people who test positive for covid19 and 90 of their close contacts. Recently, its been closer to 82 , but we continue to make progress towards that ultimate goal. We have 100 of the personal protective equipment we need to protect Health Care Workers and First Responders in addressing covid19 and because of 51 of all covid cases are within the latino community, we are working to continue to bring resources, particularly testing, contact testing, eye owe lation and quarantine, and other isolation and quarantine and other Wraparound Services to those communities. We have low exact testing sites set up in those neighborhoods, including the mission bayview and will continue to bring more testing sites to the southeast areas of the city and we have increases our Contact Tracing to include spanish speakers and nearly 50 of our hospitalization beds are occupied by people who identify as latino. But we must do more. And d. P. H. Has committed to more services and resources to serve those communities that are most impacted by the virus. As we learn more about this virus, we will be targeted in our response as well as our reopening. We know that indoors is riskier than outdoors which is why Indoor Services and inperson learning remain limited. We know that mixing households in large gatherings is risky, too and, once again we know that face coverings make so much difference. As people continue to move about the city in increased activities we will likely experience an ongoing increase in cases, and to keep this reopening to keep it moving forward, we need everyones help to limit that spread. Our hope, our progress our hope of continuing to do more depends on you, on me and on all our neighbors and friends. Please keep washing your hands, keep covering your faces. Find ways to connect with families and friends while keeping 6 feet apart. This is how we have and this is how we will continue to protect San Francisco. This is how we get San Francisco back on track. Thank you. Thank you, dr. Colfax, for your time. At this time we have a few healthrelated questions for you when youre ready. Thank you. The first set of questions are from ida from the San Francisco examiner. The c. D. C. Just issued a report about utah where children in School Settings spread covid to their households. How will San Francisco ensure that the same doesnt happen here with schools opening in person as soon as next week . Yes well we continue to review the data with regard to School Opening, and we are working very closely with educators and schools to ensure that we can open as safely as possible. Look there is risk and i would not be surprised that even with the precautions that were taking that will be covid diagnosed in cases with School Settings. Schools are required to have safety plans. We are visiting schools to ensure that things like ventilation and classroom structures are able to open as safely as possible and we will continue to work with the School Systems and educators to ensure that School Opening can be done as safely as possible with the many precautions that we do know slow the spread of the virus. But this is the time of living in a situation with covid19, and there is risk. Theres no way to completely eliminate that risk in the settings including educational settings. Operator thank you, doctor. The next set of questions are from Alexander Barreira from the San Francisco business times. Dr. Colfax, do you anticipate Indoor Dining will be allowed in any capacity before the end of next month . If so what criteria are you using to determine whether or not Indoor Dining is safe enough to be allowed . So again, were reviewing data on transmission of the virus in indoor settings, potential transmission of the virus. There was an article out by the c. D. C. With regards to traditional Indoor Dining so that gives us pause. We are working with experts and city leaders to see what that opening might be and we will share the timeline for any opening of indoor restaurants. I would obviously emphasize that Outdoor Dining and takeout remain options in San Francisco. Operator thank you doctor. The next set of questions are from christian captain with ktvu. Are we seeing any increases in covid rates that may be associated with labor day activities . So we will continue to watch this data over the next week or two to see if we do see an increase. We did see an associated risk of cases a couple of weeks after memorial day, so monitoring that very carefully. I would also em if a ice that the hospitalizations are em if a emphasize that the hospitalizations that are affected will show up later. So were looking at the case rate which would show up earlier, and then, the hospitalizations will increase a couple of weeks after that. Were watching again, so much depends on people wearing those fasces social distancing and avoiding large crowds whenever possible. This is imminently doable. We know it works at this point, we just need to all do it. Operator thank you doctor. The last question is from amy graff with sf gate. San francisco has the lowest number of cases of any major city in the united states. How has San Francisco been able to keep its death rate lower than other cities . Well, i think theres a couple of other things and i want to express gratitude to the hospital settings across the city, the hospitalealth care systems across the city, the hospital systems. We found a way to coordinate and come together in terms of the hospital units and the medical surge beds that would need to be available. The other piece is we have worldclass medical facilities in the city and literally, the stateoftheart care for covid19 is being done here. And i think we also have, compared to other cities, excellent access to hospitals, including at zuckerberg San Francisco general. So while theres more to be done our access to health care to testing to hospital systems, is very high compared to other jurisdictions. So i think its a combination of other factors, but im so grateful to the fact that we do have a lower death rate, and lets all work hard to keep it that way. Operator thank you dr. Colfax. There are no further questions at this time and that concludes todays press conference. Thank you, mayor and dr. Colfax. After my fire in my apartment and losing everything, the red cross gave us a list of agencies in the city to reach out to and i signed up for the belowmarket rate program. I got my certificate and started applying and won the housing lottery. [ ] the current Lottery Program began in 2016. But there have been lot rows that have happened for Affordable Housing in the city for much longer than that. It was there was no standard practice. For nonprofit organizations that were providing Affordable Housing with low in the city, they all did their lotteries on their own. Private developers that include in their buildings affordable units, those are the city weve been monitoring for some time since 1992. We did it with Something Like this. Where people were given circus tickets. We game into 291st century in 2016 and started doing electronic lotteries. At the same time, we started electronic applications systems. Called dalia. The lottery is completely free. You can apply two ways. You can submit a paper application, which you can download from the listing itself. If you a ploy apply online, it will take five minutes. You can make it easier creating an account. To get to dalia you log on to housing. Sfgov. Org. I have lived in San Francisco for almost 42 years. I was born here in the hayes valley. I applied for the San Francisco Affordable Housing lottery three times. Since 2016, weve had about 265 electronic lotteries and almost 2,000 people have got their home through the lottery system. If you go into the listing you can actually just press lottery results and you put in your lottery number and it will tell you exactly how you ranked. For some people, signing up for it was going to be a challenge. There is a Digital Divide here and especially when you are trying to help low and very low income people. So we began providing digital assistance for folks to go in and get help. Along with the income and the residency requirements, we also required someone who is trying to buy the home to be a first time home buyer and theres also an educational component that consists of an orientation that they need to attend, a firsttime home buyer workshop and a oneonone counseling session with the housing councilor. Sometimes we have to go through 10 applicants before they shouldnt be discouraged if they have a low lottery number. They still might get a value for an available Affordable Housing unit. We have a variety of Lottery Programs. The four that you will most often see are what we call c. O. P. The certificate of Preference Program the dthp which is the displaced penance housing Preference Program. The neighborhood resident Housing Program and the live worth preference. I moved in my new home february 25th and 2019. The neighborhood Preference Program really helped me achieve that goal and that dream was with eventually wind up staying in San Francisco. The next steps after finding out how well you did in the lottery and especially if you ranked really well you will be contacted by the leasing agent. You have to submit those document and income and asset qualify and you have to pass the credit and rental screening and the background and when you qualify for the unit you can chose the unit and hopefully sign that lease. All city sponsored Affordable Housing comes through the system and has an electronic lottery. Every week theres a listing on dalia. Something that people can apply for. Its a bit hard to predict how long it will take for someone to be able to move into a unit. Lets say the lottery has happened. Several factors go into that and mainly how many units are in the project, right. And how well you ranked and what preference bucket you were in. This particular building was brand new and really this is the one that i wanted out of everything i applied for. In my mind, i was like how am i going to win this . I did and when you get that notice that you won its like at first its surreal and you dont believe it and it sinks in yeah, it happened. Some of our buildings are pretty spectacular. They have key less entry now. They have a court yard where they play movies during the weekends, they have another master kitchen and space where people can throw parties. Mayor breed has a plan for over 10,000 new units between now and 2025. We will Start Construction on about 2,000 new units just in 2020. We also have a very big portfolio like over 25,000 units across the city. And life happens to people. People move. So we have a very large number of rerentals and resales of units every year. Best thing about working for the Affordable Housing program is that we know that were making a difference and we actually see that difference on a daytoday basis. Being back in the neighborhood i grew up in, its a wonderful experience. Its a long process to get through. Well worth it when you get to the other side. I could not be happier. [ ] one more statement. We are the one. That is our first single that we made. That is our opinion. I cant argue with you. You are responsible please do not know his exact. [ ] [ ] [ ] i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. I took a seven year break. And then i came back. I worked in the library for a long time. When i started working the San Francisco History Centre i noticed they had the hippie collection. I thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. So i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. She was very interested. One of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. This is definitely a valuable poster. Because it is petty bone. It has that weird look because it was framed. It had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. We had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. It wasnt a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. We have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. That i could donate myself. From theyre i decided, you know why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well . The historic moments in San Francisco punk history is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [ ] it brought all of the punks on the web west coast to San Francisco to see this show. The sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to San Francisco. They skipped l. A. And they skipped most of the media centres. San francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. Their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures my band. We were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. And the nuns were also asked to open the show. It was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. It was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee Seattle Portland san diego all up and down the coast and l. A. Obviously. To San Francisco to see this show. There are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. It was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. It was also the pistols last show. In a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. The city of San Francisco didnt necessarily support punk rock. [ ] last, but certainly not least is a jello be opera. They are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. If we are blaming anybody in San Francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. There you go. We had situations where concerts were cancelled due to flyers obscene flyers that the city was thought that he thought was obscene that had been put up. The city of San Francisco has come around to embrace its musicians. When they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. That was at in a way and appreciation from the city of San Francisco for the musical legends. I feel like a lot of people in San Francisco dont realize what resources there are at the library. We had a film series the s. F. Punk film series that i put together. It was nearly sold out every single night. People were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. It is free. Everything in the library is free. It it is also a Film Producer who has a film coming out. Maybe in 2018 about crime. What is the title of it . It is called San Francisco first and only rock n roll movie. Crime, 1978. [laughter] when i first went to the Art Institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. I did not know i would turn into a punk singer. I got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. One of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. I was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. I did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. They are in the San Francisco History Centres s. F. Police department records. There are so many Different Things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh i dont have a library card. Ive never been there. They need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. The people who are hiding stuff in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff or stuffedstuff from their grandparents if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future. The market is one of our vehicles for reaching out to public and showing them how to prepare delicious simple food. People are amazed that the library does things like that. Biblio bistro is a Food Education program. It brings such joy to people. It teaches them life skills that they can apply anywhere and it encourages them to take care of themselves. My name is leaf hillman and im a librarian and biblio bistro is my creation. Im a former chef and i have been incubating this idea for many years. We are challenged to come up with an idea that will move the library into the future. This inspired me to think, what can we do around cooking . What can i do around cooking . We were able to get a cart. The charlie cart is designed to bring cooking to students in Elementary Students that has enough gear on it to teach 30 students cooking. So when i saw that i thought bingo, thats what were missing. You can do cooking classes in the library, but without a kitchen, its difficult. To have everything contained on wheels thats it. I do cooking demonstrations out at the market every third wednesday. I feature a seafood, vegetable, and i show people how to cook the vegetable. A lot of our residents live in s. R. O. S single resident occupancies and they dont have access to full kitchens. You know, a lot of them just have a hot plate, a microwave, and the thing that biblio bistro does really well is cook food accessible in season and make it available that day. We handout brochures with the featured recipe on the back. This recipe features mushrooms, and this brochure will bring our public back to the library. Libraries are about a good time. I hired a former chef. Shes the tickle queen at the ramen shop in rockwood. We get all ages. We get adults and grandparents and babies and, you know schoolage kids and its just been super terrific. I was a bit reluctant because i train teachers and adults. I dont train children. I dont work with children, and i find it very interesting and a bit scary, but working here really taught me a lot you know how easily you can influence by just showing them what we have and its not threatening, and its tasty and fun. I make it really fun with kids because i dont look like a teacher. In the mix, which is our team center, we have programs for our kids who are age 13 to 18 and those are very hands on. The kids often design the menu. All of our programs are very interactive. Today, we made pasta and garlic bread and some sauce. Usually, i dont like bell pepper in my sauce, but i used bell pepper in my sauce, and it complemented the sauce really well. I also grated the garlic on my bread. I never thought about that technique before but i did it and it was so delicious. We try to teach them techniques where they can go home and tell their families i made this thing today, and it was so delicious. Theyre kind of addicted to these foods, these processed foods, like many people are. I feel like we have to do what we can to educate people about that. The reality is we have to live in a world that has a lot of choices that arent necessarily good for you all the time. This is interesting, but its a reaction to how children are brought up. It is fastfood, and the apple is a fastfood, and so that sort of changes the way they think about convenience, how eating apple is convenient. One of the things that i love about my program out at the market is the surprise and delight on peoples faces when they finally taste the vegetable. Its been transformative for some people. They had never eaten those vegetables before but now they eat them on a regular basis. All they require is a hot plate and a saute pan, and they realize that theyre able to cook really healthy, and its also tasty. They also understand the importance of the connection that were making. These are our Small Business owners that are growing our food and bringing it fresh to the market for them to consume, and then, im helping them consume it by teaching them how to cook. It connects people to the food that theyre buying. The magic of the classes in the Childrens Center and the team center is that the participants are cooking the food themselves and once they do that they understand their connection to the food to the tools, and it empowers them. Were brokering new experiences for them so that is very much whats happening in the biblio bistro program. We are introducing kids many times to new vocabulary. Names of seasonings, names of vegetables names of what you call procedures. I had my little cooking experience. All i cooked back then was Grilled Cheese and scrambled eggs. Now, i can actually cook curry and a few different thing zblz and. And the parents are amazed that what were showing them to cook is simple and inexpensive. I didnt know this was so easy to make. Ive only bought it in the market. Those comments have been amazing and yeah, its been really wonderful. We try to approach everything here with a well just try it. Just try it once, and then, before you know it, its gone. A lot of people arent sure how to cook cauliflower or kale or fennel or whatever it is, and leah is really helpful at doing that. I think having someone actually teaching you here is a great experience. And its the art of making a meal for your family members and hope that they like it. I think they should come and have some good food good produce that is healthy and actually very delicious. Cooking is one of my biggest passions, to be able to share, like my passion with others, and skills to h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h

I came in kicking and screaming and left out dancing. [ ] hello friends. Im the deputy superintendent of instruction at San Francisco Unified School District but you can call me miss vickie. What you see over the next hour has been created and planned by our San Francisco teachers for our students. Our premise came about for San Francisco families that didnt have access to technology, and thats primarily children preschool to second grade. When we started doing this distance learning, everything was geared for third grade and up and we work with the little once and its like how were they still processing the information . How were they supposed to keep learning . I thought about reaching the student who didnt have internet who didnt have computers, and i wanted them to be able to see me on the t. V. And at least get some connection with my kids that way. Thank you, friends. See you next time. Hi, friend. Todays tuesday, april 28, 2020. Its me teacher sharon, and im back again. I got an email saying that i had an opportunity to be on a show. Im, like, what . I actually got an email from the Early Education department, saying they were saying of doing a t. V. Show and i was selected to be one of the people on it if i was interested. I was scared nervous. I dont like public speaking and all the above. But it worked out. Talk into a camera, waiting for a response, pretending that oh yeah, i hear you its so very weird. Im used to having a classroom with 17 students sitting in front of me where theyre all moving around and having to have them, like oh sit down oh can you hear them . Lets listen. Hi guys. I kind of have stage flight when im on t. V. Because im normally quiet . Shes never quiet. No im not quiet. My sister was, like, i saw you on t. V. My teacher was, i saw you on youtube. It was exciting, how the community started watching. It was a lot of fun. It also pushed me outside of my comfort zone having to make my own visuals and lesson plans so quickly that ended up being a lot of fun. I want to end today with a thank you. Thank you for spending time with us. It was a great pleasure and see you all in the fall. Im so happy to see you today. Today is the last day of the school year, yea it really helped me in my teaching. Im excited to go back teaching my kids, yeah. We received a lot of amazing feedback from kiddos who have seen their own personal teacher on television. When we would watch as a family, my younger son, kai especially during the filipino episodes like, wow, like, im proud to be a filipino. Being able to connect with someone they know on television has been really really powerful for them. And as a mom i can tell you thats so important.
