That wraps up todays white house briefing. We now return to last Thursdays Senate commerce meeting on fcc oversight. The serenity they necertaint build at scale. Capital, talent is scarce. Innovation doesnt have to visit. The more difficult it is, the less likely we hare to get it. And its consistent, i would add, with three years of reforms we have made oven with great heat taken. They have been a proven concept for a regulatory approach. I think the reforms, the ones you championed in the steam line act, would have us close the Digital Divide. The period is a marked contrast from the prior eight years. We wasted a tremendous amount of time chasing around partisan little agendas, rather than focusing on what matters. I think this pandemic has pult Telecom Policy in a crucible. That is what we have to focus on. On closing the Digital Divide. That is where we have been the last three years and its paying off results. We have not raised the mission divide yet. And the u. S. Infrastructur
Tumlin will talk about this, but last week we did have a press event with supervisors peskin and preston announcing that we will be delaying our fare increases. Obviously when we were voting upon that fare increase, we could not have understood the magnitude of what was before us and not to mention we didnt really have a path forward in being able to fund the operations, so i want to thank you supervisors peskin and preston for working with us to come up with solutions which i cannot tell you what they are today. But to look at how we can fill those funding gaps which primarily effect us in year two of the budget cycle, not so much in year one. That will be coming back to us in the future. And also with that we will not be having a Charter Amendment related to sfmta. Thank director tumlin for his work in working with the supervisors, and just say it was a pleasure to be there to represent the board last week at kirkland lard. And with that, i will turn it on to the next item. All right

Anastasia ogrady. Daniel well its not exactly clear whats behind it. Obviously people are being infected. People who have coronavirus are transmitting it to others and there are things we can correlate with, it could be the protests that, indeed, happened all over the country for the last month. These were people in close proximity to one another, in los angeles, texas, florida, other states, it could be the number of people who have gone to restaurants, bars without masks and despite new infections do involve younger people, not the older Vulnerable People above the age of 70 who tend to be have the highest death rates. Some of the younger people are being hospitalized not too many of them are dying. The case rate is very high, the case numbers are high. The death numbers are not high, if you look across the states they remain very flat, so at the moment the surge seems to be located, paul, mainly in the younger population who has quite frankly been exposing themselves to one another
