Not with opinions, not with politics, not with partisanship, with numbers. Then you just measure the impact. You make sure you do not go above 70 of hospital beds so that if a large enough people get affected, you have the hospital beds to take care of them. You make sure you do not go over capacity because when these people are infected they need icu beds. We learned that the hard way. You have testing up and running of 30 tests per 1000 residents. Where did that come from . That is the White House Coronavirus task force, dr. Birx. Forhave 30 tracers ready 100,000 residents. That comes from the experts and then you watch the infection rate. You make sure that you do not get near 1. 1 on infection rate. It is math. There is a liberation in that. At a time of such division and politics and elections all this garbage this is an exercise in science and math. Share and we can all all participate in. Atncourage people to go look the data and what is happening in your region because that is

Kong Police Arrest some of the most prominent prodemocracy figures months after mass arrests. But under the Program New York has recorded its lowest number of deaths from the coronavirus in 2 weeks with 540 people dying at the epicenter of the outbreak in the us america has more confirmed cases and deaths from covert 19 than any other country in the world new york state governor is demanding more testing and says the federal government must do more to help and recur most said that the number of people being admitted to hospitals remains overwhelming. If it wasnt for the relative context that weve been in this would be devastating news 2000 people coming into the Hospital System or testing positive and if you notice 2000 were not at the peak but this is where we were just about in late march when it started to go up so were not at that plateau anymore but were still not in a good position while new yorks governor has described the pandemic as a tumultuous time as we have ever seen and s
Firefighters, our muni drivers, our Health Care Workers. They are essential city workers who are showing up and who are interact aing with the public more so than most others and they have, we know, concerns about their own health.

And here in San Francisco, we know that it has been very frustrating because we have lacked the testing that we need in order to really put people at ease and ensure them that they are safe. This means that so many of our workers are have a lot of uncertainty. And uncertain that theyre exposed and that they have the virus and thats why its important that we do everything we can to ramp

And there have been a number of things that have happened, prop e in 1999, the Charter Amendment that i did in 2007 that brought a significant amounts of fee and fine revenue that used to go into the general fund was diverted to the mta and most recently what the entire board of supervisors put on the ballot and passed proposition d, the tnc tax that is a new source of revenue. And i look at those things, and i realize that fair box recovery is important. And i agree that people who are more affluent should pay for it, and we all know that, and just your slide 7 showed that in almost all of those categories, people of color and lowincome individuals were very large pro
