What we have done time and time again, especially during this press conference is to reiterate is importance of staying at home. We know that a couple weekends ago we had real challenges with that. Over the past two weekends people complied and have been wonderful. We also think that weather might have played a role in that because it was rain, it wasnt as nice as it will be this weekend. I want be to remind people. It is important to really maintain our physical distance when we are out in public. We may need to run errands and take walks and we are hearing about a lot of data that indicates the early signs that San Francisco is in a decent place.
