The areas of the city with the most cases so far match up with these factors. Let me give two examples. The 94107 zip code currently is one of the highest rates of cases in the city. That makes sense from what we know because the m. S. C. South shelter is in that zip code, which is the location of the citys largest outbreak, with 96 cases among guests to date. The 94110 zip code has among the highest number of cases in the city. This likely reflects crowded housing conditions, including multifamily and multigenerational homes, which makes it more difficult to practice social distancing and quarantine and selfisolation. This is the mission, the heart of San Franciscos Latino Community. Citywide 25 of positive covid19 cases are among latinos, although they make up only 15 of the San Francisco population.

About the anniversary of the 1906 earthquake. This weekend marks the 106th anniversary of the earthquake. When we all can look back on our history and remember during that time, not only did the earthquake hit and it really physically destroyed buildings and many parts of our city, there was a very devastating fire that occurred. And, in fact, over 3,000 people lost their lives. And during that time, san franciscans didnt throw up their hands. We took to our feet, we came together with businesses, with people from all over the city and we focused on rebuilding. We got through that because we came together. We got through the 1906 earthquake because we worked together. Because we didnt throw up our hands. We focused on recovery. And that really is the spirit of what it means to be a san franciscan. It really does represent who we are, because we focus on how do we get through this and how do we move forward and how do we become better than ever . This is a resilient city because of that ....
