Watch out for your spirit fellow san franciscans are Community Members<\/a> the someone a second make sure that they are staying home and not coming to work. Things like that we can all do to help our community but i have been personally impressed with what the city of San Francisco<\/a>s been trying to do and the other local bay although counties and you hear them on the towns like this saying, yeah stay at home if youre sick, make sure your workplace knows that youre staying at home, theyre looking at a regular basis whether or not they should close schools or not so i do think theyre staying on top of this as a about the federal response because the local authorities need federal assistance or some concern about the testing kits that went out initially. And that to perhaps the word should have gotten out sooner that this was going on that there are weeks went by that people could have been carrying this there was a time where the testing kits were of as available as we would like them to be that Quick Response<\/a> to get them available now though i think its something we should appreciate i do hope that the federal government though understands that making sure were listening to our scientists are investing a vaccinations were investing in the testing needed to get treatments out as soon as possible. Those are all things were gonna need to invest in and the whole government will need to come together. I think to make sure that we stand protected. This talk about those vulnerable population has some more susceptible are those who are older Nursing Homes<\/a> people who are homeless give us a sense of that. And also when you say people should stay home some people can stay home from their jobs, the nice things actually from where i work as we actually Service Employers<\/a> and so theyre also trying to look out for their employees and trying to figure out what are the best ways to folks who have in person. Care so what are things that they can do in the workplace to make sure people stay safe so for some of those people that might be making sure theyre distancing themselves from other workers, im making sure that they do develop ways to work from home if thats possible. You know giving people more opportunities, something a lot of. The country why me not just bay area but employers everywhere are looking at right now i just heard report on the radio today of a a person going to a costco. And getting 2 years worth of supplies of cleaning supplies paper towel spam. As if theyre preparing for the apocalypse and im just thing yeah, theres a lot of warning going runs and all of these very critical supplies right how does that affect the rest of us who are trying to be you know safe but responsible yeah i think there are certain things that you should have in your home if you can and thats mostly a 2 weeks supply of any essential medicines that you need so if youre on insulin. If you have an inhaler make sure that you have 2 weeks of that ready to go mostly because you might not want to go to a pharmacy when youre feeling our someone else is feeling ill. Everything else its not necessary to have 2 years of higher you know making sure you have what you need for your family for a short time when you might now want to go into Public Places<\/a> is really what you need to have. Otherwise you would be putting at risk make other people who really need some supplies they might not get there when the them. You mentioned the homeless population, they are going to get access to Hand Sanitizer<\/a> and soap and water and all these things and we want to make sure that theres enough for everyone so people on elevators are on are all buses all day long. I mean i. That does is is it does this disease as it transmit this illness on Harts Services<\/a> and 2 people wear gloves when he was sure it does most viruses can live a Heart Services<\/a> that trend has been that way. Well thats why were recommending really making sure youre cleaning all your hard surfaces regularly and then using Hand Sanitizer<\/a> before after you know i think most folks have moved away from the handshake and are doing fest palms or elbow bombs to say hello at this point and thats probably appropriate rate keeping our germs ourselves. In this time of the unknown is probably a safe bet real quick, what is your prediction. What do you thinks going to happen in the bay area. Im just one individual this is a disease with a lot of unknowns right every day were following the news in the science and the science is evolving very quickly, theres a great article in the new england journal about all the advances that were making. Very fast. I think were going to have a time where were all just more mindful and more watchful. And well react so im not gonna make any hard predictions but that will lead has put in a different way because weve seen the number of cases in china. Theyre starting to go down which is a good sign but that spreading elsewhere so i guess it takes the World Health Organization<\/a> to officially declare a pandemic for all practical purposes, this is a pandemic because its across the weather continents. Yes, yeah, the difference at the damage is wants to a local population, a pandemic is what it sort of spreading across the world, this is spreading across the world at this point its in many countries across the globe. But i think the World Health Organization<\/a> is just wants to make sure that it has a sense of how this will spread what impact will be before it officially declares anything hi doctor thank hopefully well be able to wrap up some of these conversations in the coming weeks, but we hope to see you again and we need to thank you, thank you.
