Your window. Another day of bad air out there. You can smell the smoke. This is the 17th spare the air day in a row, which is breaking records. Meteorologist kari hall has been tracking bad air all this week. Kari, any sign of relief in sight . Well, we may have a break tomorrow, but it looks like that may go back into effect on saturday as we not only have smoke but also high levels of ozone in the atmosphere. In San Francisco. Also a lot of fog over the city as well as that smoke so its creating smoeg conditions as we look at san jose. A little clearer here. Weve had in some spots improved air quality but our temperatures will reach into the upper 70s, the south bay, but were also looking at mid80s for inland east bay and 60s at the coast. As we go into the weekend, we do have several concerns so well be watching along with that unhealthy air quality well also have hotter temperatures for the inland areas and those winds coming in from the north at about 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour headi
Renter of district 5 and member of the senior and disability actions housing collaborative. There is so much stuff from displacement and high rents before the pandemic. And now, illness and income loss and inability to pay rent due to the virus.

For you. Mark, can we back up to the slides on the reproduction number. One second. Oh no, its okay. Give me just one second to back up to that. Those are very concerning numbers. We see if we reduce the reproductive number by a third, we hold steady at the same number of hospitalizations, but wed still see as many as four times of deaths here in San Francisco. But if we continue on this same scale, we could see deaths up to 800, and number of hospitalizations, 1,000 to over 3,000. That could clearly overwhelm our Hospital Systems. I know weve seen footage of people gathering in dolores park this weekend, and the possible impact that could have. Could you just speak to what kind of effect that behavior could have, not just on our people, but our ability to serve the health care needs. Yes [inaudible] i thi. Dr. Colfax i think its really important that we stay vigilant and do what we know works to stop the spread of the virus. That includes not going to large gatherings, and on beautifu

Well, very clearly, it is a really challenging, and as other commissioners have indicated, really grateful that people like yourself have really stepped up and continue to do, as you say, the work that has to be done, along with the very key work, and congratulations on being head of this program. One question which is more technical has to do with the testing strategies. And your chart was great and sexu certainly keynoted on some of the areas that were concerned. On the other hand, you also pointed out that you were interested in reaching other vulnerable populations which are kind of a potential tinderbox, and im glad that you mentioned chinatown right now. Its a very low number, and some other asian populations out in the sunset which arent being tested, but we dont know that. What is your testing strategy to figure out a priority, and that came from one of the question
