Months. I was proud. We were doing well. Almost everyone in the city did what they asked you to do we are seeing how fast it could move the governor laid out a warning and we are seeing what is happening in San Francisco. Let me be clear, as clear as i can be, its not good. Cases are spiking. Hospitalizations are increasing quickly. Our infection rate is higher than the summer. This is not just about San Francisco but the entire region, state, and country the dangerous winter has arrived. We will have to take more action. We are still working out the details we are working out the details in Santa Santa Clara county. They have limited gatherings. Theres are things you have consider as well as other ideas to stop the spread. No one would like to be here. We spoke about worrying about doing well but having everyone relax and the cases spike like they did during the spanish flu. Im not saying thats what happened but there have been a lot of challenges including lack of national leadership
Thank you. That passes. Item three is the directors report. Commissioners, grant colfax, the health director. A few things in the directors report. We had the pleasure of participating in an announcement with senator scott wiener and mayor breed with reintroducing the Safe Injection Sites. The senator plans to reintroduce this bill in december. As you know that Safe Injection Sites have been a priority for the department and in alignment with mayor breeds priorities. We need these evidencebased proven interventions more than ever as fentanyl continues its uncrease in San Francisco and we have estimated that weve had more than 470 Overdose Deaths in the first month of 2020. And so this is a muchneeded intervention and it remains a priority and able to participate with the senator and the mayor in announcing the fact that that the bill will be reintroduced. We continue to encourage everyone in the city to get a flu shot now more than ever. This is certainly not the year to skip on a flu
