Just this past friday we have seen an increase in over 20 o cases. Our case as of today are 13,756 with 38 people who are hospitalized, 156 people who have lost their lives since the beginning of this pandemic in San Francisco in particular and the Positivity Rate is at 1. 87. Dr. Grant colfax is joining me to talk more specifically about the numbers and what they mean and where we are, the same way he did so last week. What were seeing here and what weve seen all over the country is what looks like to be a significant uptick, one that we have to pay i a tension to. And more importantly, one that has put San Francisco which has been really a leader on fighting against this pandemic, it ha
