San Francisco shut down early in the pandemic and later limited reopening. Now the city is the first urban center in California where the risk of infection is rated as minimal.

Much of San Francisco looked like a ghost town during late April. All but essential services were closed. Few roamed the streets. The mood seemed as grim as the gray skies overhead.

Now life has returned. Restaurants and stores are open. Clad in masks, pedestrians last week clutched bags from stores where they had just shopped. Diners sat at tables outside restaurants and cafes. People strolled along the bay on the Embarcadero, and a huge Ferris wheel opened for business at Golden Gate Park.

After cautiously approaching the pandemic for months, with a go-slow attitude toward reopening, San Francisco has become the first urban center in California. Risk of infection, according to the state’s color-coded tiers, is considered minimal, even though San Francisco is the second-densest city in the country after New York.

“We have, at least so far, done everything right,” said Dr. Robert Wachter, professor and chair of the Department of Medicine at UC San Francisco.City officials still are not declaring victory. Characteristically, they warn, the virus still lurks around the corner. And as they have before, they will follow local metrics rather than reopen just becomes the state allows it.

The tech industry, which has a prominent presence in San Francisco, played a role too. Companies ordered their employees to work from home two weeks before San Francisco and other Bay Area counties shut down, Wachter said. That not only kept more people off the streets but signaled to the rest of the region that industry giants were taking the threat of the coronavirus seriously.

UCSF didn't age well ....

UCSF Every one of these media articles praising a region’s response becomes the contrarian “top tick” as it’s known in the stock market. The media is uncanny in its ability to tout something the moment it begins to turn down.

UCSF Take the killer Governor of New York’s out of the Equation and numbers drop below 200,000. Face it NJ and NY killed people

UCSF

UCSF Maybe the scientist should study whether homosexual intercourse wards off the virus?

UCSF Did we contact trace all the homeless poop?

UCSF How about people shutting in the streets? How’s that going?

UCSF

UCSF Cause they are a bunch of scared pussys who won’t leave their house. I’ll continue to live my life.

UCSF 50,000 is still too many

UCSF Some random doctor just spewing BS stats he pulled out of a hat in hindsight. People look for the news they want to read. Ignorant.

UCSF Congrats to the leaders and citizens for adherence to shelterinplace since March 17, 2020. LondonBreed COVID19

UCSF

UCSF Just talked to a guy tonight who lost his livelyhood bc they shut the entire city down. Should just have those at risk keep safe and not cripple people’s businesses

UCSF It also has one of the highest household income rates in the nation. People working in tech can work remote and can afford 24/7 deliveries. Please stop trying to compare cities/states OR the U.S. to other countries.

UCSF By all of the homeless people there, not wearing masks.

UCSF But be careful in the Tenderloin you can step in people 💩 or a hypodermic needle on the sidewalk. 👍🏻

UCSF And if we had done what New Zealand did we'd have 2000 dead and stadiums full of people watching football. Over the next week the media really needs to compare Trump's pogrom to successes around the world. He wanted people dead and he got it.

UCSF How can any one confess ignorants not to be ignorants especially if they don't know they're ignoramts.

UCSF L9

UCSF But... Nancy Pelosi!!

UCSF Isn’t this the same city that can’t figure out how to stop people from crapping on the sidewalks?

UCSF Go San Fran, we are proud if you!!! Keep being the shining light!

UCSF Lmao so because people in SF can afford to work from home they’re the blueprint

UCSF San Francisco is the Capital of the Homeless in the US. They dont get tested. Survival rate is 99%. So get over this PlandemicHoax

UCSF If you crap 💩 on the streets C0vID won’t com for u. SanFrancisco

UCSF

UCSF Don’t believe the hype, hear from a local woman about the true cost of these low numbers. SanFrancisco COVID__19 SanFranDamn CNN FoxNews

richardmcvay UCSF There should be a National mandate for masks & separation. Pretending it will just go away will continue where we are right now over a year from now & longer, more deaths, businesses closed, more unemployment.

UCSF It’s almost as if local response rather than national response was the key variable in determining quality of outcomes.

UCSF Their approach is to cover the streets in fecal waste.

UCSF because people have been locked and businesses bankrupt while junkies ride and smoke fentanyl and meth on the trains.

UCSF Because of draconian lockdown. meanwhile more people have died from drug over dose in 2020 (470) vs COVID19 (130).

benyt UCSF Except they’ve destroyed the economy and as soon as they reopen cases with spike. SwedenWasRight

UCSF Please remember that sneezes travlel for 200 feet and linger in the air for 10 minutes so if someone sneezes get out of there, and do not live in San Francisco the houses are a rip-off and you are being extorted, and conned💀

UCSF We've done pretty well here around the bay... and we started early. That was part of the success.

UCSF Or if they followed the Sweden 🇸🇪 plan and didn’t lockdown and force shutdowns and people into a cycle of panic and depression, it would be virtually gone right now as it is for them. 🧐

UCSF The 'strategy' was that everyone fled San Francisco

UCSF

UCSF nerdrotic Gary you seen this one?

UCSF This must be why there is a HOMELESS PROBLEM in San Fran. Fuck these papers

UCSF 真是矮个子里拔将军,全学它,也还得五万

UCSF Like getting haircuts without a mask in closed down salons?

UCSF It would have been better if the US (including San Francisco) followed South Korea or Taiwan.

UCSF People fled SavedAClick

UCSF But what would have happened to the economy? Worse or better? Sweden didn't lock down and is doing well.

UCSF Our City is not perfect, and we continue to work on that. But we are modestly proud of the things that we have accomplished. Respect to others, making sacrifices, and reducing death & loss.

TonyTodd54 UCSF I’m sure there are way more than they can count if you go through the homeless population in San Francisco.

UCSF Maybe the huge homeless population and poop patrol helped 😂

UCSF Pandemic Someone gets run over by train, and they're called a covid death because they had the cold too....

UCSF Other places should take a page out of San Francisco’s book.

UCSF Who’s tracking the COVID CASES in your HOMELESS POPULATION?

UCSF I wish nobody had died from this virus but I think our public health officials got it right as soon as the virus hit. We still have some ways to go but it’s nice to see people out and being careful for the most part.

UCSF We would have Less Covid, but a whole lot more feces in the streets.

UCSF 1. Cities with strictest lockdowns only prolong the epidemic 2. When they open, 'cases' spike rapidly, then lockdown again. 3. They destroy economies and have more non-Covid deaths like suicides and heart attacks. Bottom line - lockdowns don't work.

UCSF And yet the homelessness in SF is worse than ever.

UCSF Trump banning flights from China helped but you will never hear this in news. Not reopening fully (despite scientific evidence proving 99% of people under 65 don’t have issues with CV) is the real problem now. Economy destroyed, jobs lost, addiction + abuse soaring!

UCSF Way to go, San Francisco! 'Of the 20 most populous cities in the U.S., San Francisco has the lowest death rate per capita from COVID-19. If the entire country had followed the city’s approach... there would be 50,000 dead from the pandemic instead of more than 220,000.'

UCSF Way to go, San Francisco!!

UCSF Who wrote this? It sounds like an endorsement for everything else that goes on there. No thanks

UCSF How stupid do you think people are to believe this?

UCSF Wrong Shane on you for a horrible story

UCSF Keep your blue haired freaks out of my state.

UCSF human beings cant spread any viruses onto each other since viruses are not living organisms, unlike bacteria/fungi/parasites among other living microbes, cells in our body create viruses to aid absorbing and removing toxicity waste caused by everything we consume=illness/death.

UCSF This is like the South Park episode where San Franciscans like smelling their farts because they don’t stink

UCSF wow san francisco ca is the gay capital of america youd think theyd have more cases than all usa but they have one the lowes.

UCSF Another reason may be the large Chinese-American population who knew how serious it was back in Jan/Feb and masked up before it was cool.

UCSF 'We have, at least so far, done everything right,' said Dr. Robert Wachter, prof. and chair. Dept. of Medicine at UCSF What!? Ok, yes, SF had the most cautious reopening plan: Isn't evaluating this success w/o quantifying the economic/mental cost of shutdowns irresponsible?

UCSF A BLUE state? How can that possibly be ? Science MaskUp BidenHarris2020

UCSF RichHomieCuong

UCSF We wear masks in Bay Area.

UCSF Fixing the numbers! Corruption personified!

UCSF Spreading HIV instead with gay sex

UCSF This is hilarious.

UCSF Of course. It's the best city in the USA and proud to have been born and raised here. It’s is filled with educated people too, no doubt.

UCSF Total BS. Easy top say that now

UCSF In other words 25% of what there are now. Another way: 3 of the 4 sick would be alive to VoteBidenHarris2020 ... Wait... Could it be? Nah. Surely, NObody would...

UCSF Don’t forget the partnerships between LondonBreed RafaelMandelman and the city Covid response team with several community organizations, including the SFSisters, to raise awareness and encourage masks.

UCSF Good on San Francisco!

UCSF Now go test the homeless population. That'll fix your numbers.

UCSF Their immune systems have been strengthened from having to constantly defend against all of the feces in the streets

UCSF The Wuhan Flu is an amazing virus. Despite its extremely low mortality rate, it has also put an end to all deaths from heart disease, car accidents and stroke. If the state moves quickly enough, the can fry Scott Peterson and list the cause of death 💀 as COVID-19.

UCSF Yeah because all the San Franciscans fled the city.

UCSF So the actions of President Trump has saved thousands of lives in San Francisco.

UCSF YOURE LIARS!

The_Katbot UCSF San Francisco’s been a leader in locking people down like cattle, destroying their local economy, and basically making the city unlivable. Is that really a model that should be emulated? I guess SF’a leadership doesn’t think its constituents need quality of life?

UCSF These articles always come out a few days before cases start rising and a new lockdown begins.

UCSF Should have Listened up. Now you can PACK UP. GET OUT!! jaredkushner Mike_Pence PressSec

UCSF Good morning! Happy Monday.

UCSF That is great. Why can’t we learn from this?

UCSF Funny. From a community with 8K homeless people, 5K unsheltered, and closed their schools to children. Oops, and did I mention housing is unaffordable? Median home price? 1.3 million. Perhaps the death rate is low because a bunch of rich people are hiding in those expensive homes

UCSF

UCSF We spent a day there last week It's the most comfortable we've been. Masks are mandated everywhere. People taking care of people. Completely different attitude than a few miles east in CA04 where freedom to spread the virus takes priority over freedom to engage in public safely.

UCSF Nice try

UCSF How come they give themselves credit for doing good, but in the same breath blame Trump for all the bad?

barryspoints UCSF 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 LondonBreed

UCSF Thank you, San Francisco!!! I can remember back in February or March when SF’s great Mayor London Breed announced that she was declaring a State of Emergency for the entire City of San Francisco !!! She was so right back then and all the City’s leaders followed her lead !!

UCSF If the handful of democratic governors didn’t send covid to nursing homes we would have 40% less deaths. Now do a story of the homeless crisis in San Fran and how they had to create a poop cleanup team.

UCSF Wow, they 'followed the health guidelines'. Meanwhile, Trumpers are out there ignoring guidelines, pretending the scientists dont know what they're talking about to appease their master. These Trump supporters are the SuperSpreader's out there. BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

UCSF GovRonDeSantis see how San Francisco brought cases down. If you won’t learn from NY, maybe you’ll follow SF’s example and stop rallies and stop infecting and killing Floridians! You will be held accountable, because you and Trump are to blame for our Covid disaster.

UCSF One simple reason. People over there are educated and follow CDC guidelines. Unlike Trump supporters

UCSF SF is a $HITHOLE. Even the virus refuses to live there

UCSF All who read this tweet, PLEASE RT. Y'all could also read the 'how' SF succeeds 😷🇺🇸

UCSF Also, no one wants to go outside and play with the crazy homeless people.

UCSF Liberal SF should have shared with New York

UCSF When speaking of deaths it is best to avoid the term 'just' 50,000 would be horrific enough.

UCSF Your account just spams. Please stop

UCSF Because the majority of people left San Francisco

UCSF Let me guess, human feces turns out to be the cure.

UCSF Hey SenateMajLdr GOP HouseGOP GOPLeader kevinomccarthy SenateGOP FuckYou 🖕🏿🖕🏾🖕🏽🖕🏼🖕🏻🖕 You live up to your acronyms GreedOverPeople GropingOldPerverts GovernmentOfPutin GriftingOurPeople

UCSF 😩😭😪🙏👎💔❤🇺🇸

UCSF But.,.but...the President said all Democratic cities were badly run, were disasters with terrible Covid response, especially San Fran, because these dummies followed scientists and wore those dumb masks, and socially distanced...and now you say science works? How can this be?

UCSF Is it possible they have a higher % of ppl who can work from home? Try manufacturing/processing and shipping steel, food, cleaning products, medicine and every other essential part of life from a home office.

UCSF According to my grandmother, an RN during the 1918 flu pandemic working in Philadelphia, it takes two years to beat a major pathogen. Let's all work at keeping our distances, wearing masks and handwashing. We need better ventilation when indoors, too.

UCSF Ya welcome 😉 haha jk.

UCSF Audit the cause of death!

UCSF Hiding isn't going to make it go away. The UCSF doctor has no proof to back his statement. Never mind that most closed business owner can't reopen and are out of business, includes a lot of employees permanently unemployed.

UCSF So no flu cases this year? No respiratory infections? Just covid?

UCSF What a bullshit

UCSF I'm not buying this, sorry. San Francisco is not a happy place right now.

UCSF

UCSF Fake news

UCSF Lol San Francisco is the perfect example of Socialist policy repercussions. High taxes, cost of living, wage gap, and an exodus of businesses. But they fear mongered the hell out of covid and CA will use that as an excuse to demand a federal bailout.

UCSF How much of these good results are due to working/learning from home? Any stats collected on workplace spread? Asking cause I'm in Toronto Canada where it's gone out of control/we have no info, and I want to know how other cities compare. Thanks!

UCSF Masks. It wasn't London Breed, the universities, and it sure as FUCK wasn't tech. Masks. Masks made the difference.

VictoriaAveyard UCSF We had help from the Chinese hospital as well....but people forget that

UCSF 545 niños siguen separados de sus padres años después. Esta Administración arrancó a los bebés de los brazos de su madre, y parece que esos padres en muchos casos fueron deportados sin sus hijos y no han sido encontrados. BidenHarris2020 VoteBlueDownBallot LatinosforBiden

UCSF Wonder when we're going to see the story on how Orange County is leading Southern California in containing & mitigating COVID Different narrative though, right?

UCSF Californians did an amazing job but asking us to wear a mask in the fall is easy... We've been doing it for years because of fires.

UCSF The CDC has said the coronavirus numbers are wrong because hospitals were paid more for Covid_19 deaths than any other ailment so they listed Covid_19 as the primary cause of death. San Francisco should follow their Covid19 approach to clean their nasty streets

UCSF Another reason why California better off being an independent state

UCSF In 2017 California passed SB239, defelonizing deliberate HIV infection. California plays germ police for a disease with a 99% survival rate. But give someone AIDS, meh, slap on the wrist

UCSF The fecal matter and homeless camps on every corner help. Nobody wants to go outside.

UCSF these comments are fucking gross, people in SF are not morally superior, the govt shut the city down and we didn’t have a choice

UCSF But but but it’s run by democrats so it has to be a bad city

UCSF Science ....

UCSF TAKE MEEE BACKKK TAKE MEEE BACCKKK TO SAN FRANCISCOOOO I KNOWWWW

UCSF As a resident of the most densely populated area of SF I cannot say I took any precautions at all. I tried to alter my life as little as possible. I go out as much as the city allows and more. I wear no mask. No policy changed my behavior. I rely solely on my immune system.

UCSF How Tech employees left city because they were trapped in a ghost town during shelter in place. They can afford to move to the suburbs of anywhere, really.

UCSF Jeez, then it just would have been NY.

UCSF Techniques including raising prices to get you to gtfo

UCSF Get real, LATimes. San Franciso and it's leadership is a national disgrace. This is a puff piece. Cancelled my subscription long ago for such non stop fake news.

UCSF setting the bar pretty fuckin low

UCSF Clowns. All of you.

UCSF I’m assuming they just threw anyone earning less than 500K a year out? EatTheRich

UCSF Because 100 people live actually in San Francisco. Not “the Bay Area”. Next article...

UCSF People in San Francisco are smart people. They listen to the scientist and med experts.

UCSF Look at all the liberals making up excuses for a Politician violating their Constitutional rights and freedoms because they live in fear says everything a Freedom loving Conservative American needs to know about liberals.Liberal politicians will now violate rights all the time

UCSF Of same 20 cities, SF by far: lowest black pop. (5,2%, equiv to Lincoln, NE & Boise, ID), 3rd smallest Latino pop (14.2%), 2nd lowest elderly & most affluent? COVID high risk factors: older, black/brown, poor. The working class & black/brown have been pushed out of SF already.

UCSF “just 50,000” still sounds disrespectful to those that lost loved ones, though still a more preferable outcome. highly recommend eliminating “just”

UCSF “Mayor LondonBreed and Dr. Grant Colfac, San Francisco’s public health director, largely shaped the city’s response to the health crisis. Breed, always interested in science, studied chemistry before she switched to political science at UC Davis.”

UCSF Gee, maybe that's because people in Frisco actually follow the guidelines, have sense, and take care of their bodies. Underlying health issues are RAMPANT in the rest of the country, and that is exactly why those areas should be following the advice even more! Science Read

UCSF In this thread: 'YES BUT ACTUALLY SAN FRANCISCO BAD'

UCSF Maybe the lowest death rate has to do with people leaving the city in droves. Rents a way down people can’t sell their houses. No one wants to live in that shit hole any longer

UCSF SF did the opposite of t-RUMP. That’s how.

UCSF The only thing San Fran is a leader of is human poop on the sidewalk 🤮🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🙄

UCSF

UCSF What’s your source?

UCSF Thank you San Francisco! I’ve been looped in on the strides you’re making to combat food waste. Wish my community would model your accomplishments. 👏🤙🏼

UCSF Listen up govkristinoem ☝️ Take a break from duck hunting and read something that can help the people of SouthDakota

UCSF Now...let’s talk about the fentanyl overdoses...

UCSF They don't take into account that people have to go out to get food, will visit family, and will not wear masks when around people they know Just because you have a theoretical does not mean it is physically possible

UCSF I thought Cuomo & NYC ...

UCSF Why are rents down over 20% in SF then? The City kept cases down at the cost of shattering the economy- you can’t even get popcorn in the movie theatres. Kids aren’t back in school and the Superintendent of public schools says they probably won’t go back all year.

UCSF Your paper isn’t even qualified to wipe the ass of every bum in SF that shits in the street every day!

UCSF This is a lie. I can't believe anyone would think we should be like california.

UCSF Our mayor would be a bona fide rockstar if she and our DA didn't let the druggies take over the streets. We have an all time OD rate in the city right now. We have tents, crap, and syringes all over our walkways. Burglaries, shootings, homicide all up too. Schools still closed

UCSF

Limonsillo UCSF So is it the cities faults or trumps fault?

UCSF keep patting youeself on the back san fran when your homelessness and shit on the streets is at a new all time high... youre patting yourself on the back typical californians

UCSF If only?!?!?

MarcJSpears UCSF

UCSF places like Japan/south korea/utah/south dakota had great results without terrorizing the population, correlation does not = causation. Sweden has totally opened up maskless around 20 deaths this month.

UCSF Is it because everyone moved out of that shithole of a city?

UCSF This may be THE dumbest article ever written

UCSF

UCSF Everyone moved out of San Francisco because of the virus.

UCSF Honest question, what's the Rona situation among the homeless?

UCSF And everyone would leave the country, like they are leaving LA. The BS numbers don’t justify the real deaths the lockdowns caused.

UCSF Ummmm this isn’t TRUE LMFAOO

UCSF Yay. We rule. For those who say we're well-off as a city, therefore it is easier to socially distance, blah, blah... Come to San Fran, take a walk down Market Street, and when you get to 4th and Market... OPEN your eyes. Then keep walking...

UCSF Yes, we would have an economy in ruins. Don’t reply with “one life saved is worth it” either as that’s a stupid ignorant response.

UCSF Damn liars

UCSF liberal ain’t it ?

UCSF Six Bay Area counties, including San Francisco, decided to announce together. It was a result of the different public health dept. leaders working together. As a result, all the counties are seeing improvements ...people wear masks as well as working together through fire dangers

UCSF Have you been to San Francisco lately? My car was broken into and it is a homeless wasteland. If death rate is the metric that matters for evaluation, then let’s tell GavinNewsom.

UCSF This is good news. Thanks for sharing it.

UCSF Half small businesses gone though.

UCSF No one believes you. 👌🏻

UCSF And the world's greatest economy would be dead.

UCSF Its because it's so filthy that if you can live there you should be immuned to anything

jrichlive UCSF “When you say per capita, there’s many per capitas. Is this like per capita relative to what?” realDonaldTrump

UCSF How San Francisco became one of the most Fascist, Liberal, and Socialist city is what you mean.....

UCSF Shooting heroine on the streets among piles of human feces - these people don't LIVE long enough to catch covid.

UCSF “The ubiquitous homeless feces unintentionally conferred multiple cross-immunities to the residents.”

UCSF No thanks! Otfu already.

UCSF You all realize it's still 2020? Several Hurricanes hit Gulf, Massive Fires devastating our State, Floods in the South, What's missing EarthQuake2020 - hold onto your shit!! Little too early to celebrate low death numbers. Besides, Covid numbers are FakeNews just like polls.

UCSF Easy, completely destroying itself more than it was already prior to the pandemic.

UCSF La is at 108/100k

UCSF Nearly 1/2 of businesses have closed permanently. The ones open are racking up daily loses from theft because there are more people on unemployment that there was in the 2009 recession. Meanwhile SF is the number one city in residents leaving. But ' they did everything right '.

UCSF Yes Biden in his basement could have stop covid. Total Lies. data around world as of today

UCSF It sure wasn't the Demcraps

UCSF San Francisco is the model JoeBiden Let’s do this! america doesn’t give up. VoteHimOut2020 vote AmericasGreatestMistake BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

UCSF Really? Maybe they are just putting off the inevitable. That would be like Italy is going through now. Canada did this early on and bragged a lot, now look at them. Not funny.

UCSF San Francisco has one of the lowest levels of obesity in the country. 1/4 the national average. You can believe it’s that they followed protocols for whatever guideline you want. What they are is a lot healthier generally and- no heathy people are getting hospitalized and dying

UCSF Post hoc fallacy, post hoc fallacy, post hoc fallacy, post hoc fallacy, post hoc fallacy, post hoc fallacy, post hoc fallacy, post hoc fallacy. Y'all did with Argentina and Peru early on, before their 'laudable' lockdowns failed to prevent some the worst epidemics in the world.

UCSF Haha, so many haters in the comments.

UCSF

UCSF Translation: if you want to kill the entire country and cause mass exodus and unemployment over a cold virus from a city that has little regard for health policy with the amount of poo and needles on their ground, do this.

UCSF How many nursing home deaths in SF? Sf is a tiny city with a dwindling real population Meanwhile the democrats continue lying and shilling for Biden, and hoping US tax payers will cough up a few trillion dollars to bail out corrupt pensions, and bloated beauracracies..TrumpSaves

UCSF As a resident, I can assure you want to be nothing like San Francisco.

UCSF Good Job Californians from SanFrancisco WearAMask WearAMaskSaveALife wearAmaskSavesCommunities covid19

KBibbinsDomingo UCSF Proud to live in San Francisco and work at UCSF! 👊🏻

UCSF Ya but they still have a massive public defacation issue so...

UCSF This doesn’t sound like a winning strategy to me

UCSF Thats because everyone left town.

Scott_Wiener UCSF Maybe it’s called social distancing and masks

UCSF If San Francisco dealt with the homeless problem and overdose problem (4x more overdoses than COVID deaths) the way it dealt with COVID, they would require homeless to get treatment for addiction and mental illness. Where is public health on this?

UCSF Who did Nancy paid to wright this?

UCSF Quite a tall claim based on zero evidence

UCSF The Bay Area is the leader in EVERYTHING. Best universities and best companies in the world.

Scott_Wiener UCSF Go my home town San Francisco!

UCSF BWAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHAH YEA FUCKING RIGHT!!!! 🤣

UCSF

UCSF Soon

UCSF This absolute level of propaganda is Goebbels level. Holy shit.

UCSF And now their economy is destroyed. The cure is worse than the disease. Liberals.

UCSF of course. SF has always had a large Asian population and have always worn masks pre-covid. nothing new

UCSF Are they still pooping in the streets? How are the hep a, b and c outbreaks coming along? In reality, the conscientious and people with money & businesses left the bay area, some left California altogether. that's hardly success...

UCSF It the US had had the courage to lock down like NZ, then the virus would have been crushed in time for the 4th of July.

UCSF Please read this, realDonaldTrump and JoeBiden.

UCSF Good for SF!

Scott_Wiener UCSF Also huge spike in drug overdose deaths. 480+ as of this month, target 700+ end of the year.

UCSF Actually 50,000 is probably all that have died from actual COVID-19.

UCSF Mmmm ya still moving out of this shit hole !!

UCSF So, this means the local citizens can control covid? Exactly the point 1/2 of America is making...

annekbrooks UCSF Love my city

UCSF NYGovCuomo you seeing this

KathleenFOX5 UCSF San Francisco you won't catch Covid-19 here, but will probably pick up an STD.

UCSF In CA the majority of cases/deaths have been in Hispanic communities. Only 5% of SF residents are Hispanic. In places like Santa Ana, East LA, there are numerous instances of crowded Hispanic households in which covid spread is impossible to prevent. SF doesn't have that problem.

KathleenFOX5 UCSF Sure Karen.

UCSF Because only politicians are allowed to frequent the businesses that otherwise are forced to remain closed?

BudGothmog44 UCSF Maybe READ this realDonaldTrump ? After all, reading is what? Fundamental.

UCSF JoeBiden & DrBiden you should talk to my favorite City by the Bay, San Francisco, California sfchronicle , to find out exactly what they did to control the outbreak of COVID-19, and then apply the plan to the entire United States of America. 1213Shane

UCSF Funny how the SF mayor gets all the credit but in every “hot spot” the Mayors say it’s Trump’s fault. Nothing like liberal double standards!

UCSF All bullshit. If you account for the young and wealthy populace, the high % of people who are in jobs that can be done from home, and the climate allowing for people to stick with outdoor activities, you've got just another Covid city. It has nothing to do with Breed.

UCSF 🤣🤣

UCSF Let’s not ever normalize 50,000 dead of anything tho.

UCSF Lol what a joke we are not a model

UCSF It’s not too late to learn?!

UCSF SF city funded preschools and family childcare programs have been opened and operating since March.

UCSF How much did SpeakerPelosi and CAgovernor GavinNewsom pay for this article?

UCSF There’s no way to know if that’s what the deaths would be. You’re making a guess at best. Quit doing that bullshit.

UCSF Wealthy and health conscious city. Low obesity rate and generally healthier than most of the country....that is a huge factor

UCSF That’s because everyone fled the city. FakeData

UCSF Educated people not hicks, rubes, white trash racists and bigots Science

UCSF How about that....

UCSF All these LA hooligans got alot to say bc our city did better than their’s🤣

UCSF POTUS realDonaldTrump read this article!!

UCSF Meanwhile Taiwan, island of 30 million, has 7 deaths. Maybe we should learn from them instead of an abject failure like SF?

UCSF How's the homelessness going since the city has been shut down? So you call that winning? Incredibly stupid

UCSF Turns out, Excessive amounts of 💉&💩 is the secret weapon against covid 19..

UCSF Meanwhile it's residents are leaving in droves

UCSF Content buyers 📲

UCSF Also single handedly killed a ton of small buisnesses,and gave more reason for people to flee california.

UCSF 2 days ago my husband traveled to San Francisco .Basically the city is dead .Pictures he took ,very sad . Total shut down 😞

UCSF Bullshit

UCSF No copy editors now? Even my dang phone spellchecks “funerial.” It’s sad; my late, great copy editing teacher Joan Zyda worked at your paper.

UCSF San Francisco is not representative of the rest the the USA in many ways. Starting with — the average household income in San Francisco is $149,265. Skip the housing debate. The city consists of middle and upper middle income groups

UCSF bullshit

UCSF How about a 1.7 Billion dollar deficit for the city San Fran is in trouble !

tittybeads UCSF yes, It did not have to be this bad. Covid Deaths per 100,000 people: USA 66.33 France 49.43 Canada 25.95 Germany 11.72 Australia 3.56 Japan 1.31 So. Korea 0.85 This reflects a criminal absence of leadership. Facts matter. Vote Biden.

UCSF people did what they were sopposed to do

UCSF More of this shit ?

UCSF So while they’ve done a good job, I think there’s some additional factors that aren’t being considered.

UCSF Republicans hate to see it. 🙃 FTW San Francisco! COVID19 “We know a thing or two because we’ve seen a thing or two.”

UCSF Way to lead San Francisco! Waiting for normal times to come into the beautiful buzzing city everyday again!

UCSF Preschools and childcare programs have been opened for months too! Awesometeachers

UCSF That's a total joke. By what metric/pop exactly? Compared to the 20 most populous cities in the USA? LOL. San Francisco proper doesn't even rank in the top 100 of populous cities in the entire country, it's 185th. Seriously, you Democrats need to learn 3rd Grade math.

Scott_Wiener UCSF nancypelosi MitchMcConnell SENATORS TAKE A LOOK WHATS GOING ON AN WHAT YOU SEEM TO BE AVOIDING! AMERICANS WONT PUT UP WITH YOUR BS AN YOUR TIME IS COMING! A Nation In Need: A Stimulus Checklist PURPLEPOWER

UCSF TL;DR: Citizens of SF have stronger immune systems due to poop filled streets, filth & hepatitis, dodging used syringes & lunatic druggies on the daily, and breathing in fumes from nearby homeless encampments

UCSF I bet it's from all of the shit in the street, isn't it...

UCSF SOME San Franciscans have the lowest death rate.

UCSF Has Breed removed all SF homeless camp, cleaned up the massive trash piles and human shit all over the streets and picked up all the drug addict syringes yet?!! MAGA Don’t give SF Mayor credit for anything except for her and Pelosi ruining once most beautiful city in America!!

UCSF Yeah and also killing their economy while doing it...

Scott_Wiener UCSF Maybe because everyone left?

ncweaver UCSF defpublic

UCSF Congrats S.F., our mayor in Los Angeles isn't as firm. As well Angelinos are so bent on having their freedom and rights. Hence we have increasing Infections and are probably stuck in the Purple Tier 1 till there is a vaccine.

UCSF It would be nice to see our local government put on a mask. Not a single courthouse employee wore a mask during early voting.

UCSF MayorOfLA

UCSF Tripled the opioid deaths in the same time frame.....

UCSF Props to LondonBreed, team & UCSF. Yes, it was hard at first; but we made it work! Majority of people took it seriously. Rarely are seen folks NOT wearing a mask, unless they are in one of our outdoor restaurant seating areas. We're not deprived. And we're alive to enjoy life!💪🏾

UCSF Now if they would clean up their streets and stop being a sanctuary city, maybe people would stop leaving the city.

UCSF Why isn’t anyone pointing to the possible correlation between school closures and low rates and vice versa?

UCSF Truth bomb: they did it by driving small businesses out. SF is a ghost town. There is a mass exodus Everyday another business my kids grew up with closes or moves out of SF. I expect we will see a financial divide in SF liken to feudalism. Talk about a tale of two cities.

UCSF Lol. San Francisco is one of the cities Californians are leaving in droves. Their covid numbers are low because people are fed up and leaving.

UCSF I wonder if it’s because the average personal income there is $120,000. Maybe they can afford to be extra careful and take it easier. Maybe it’s because there’s a high number of Millennials living there with no kids to look after. Most people can’t afford to social distance

UCSF

UCSF San Francisco values...am I right?

UCSF Great work PCH_SF A model for the nation.

UCSF

UCSF stop with this BS

UCSF That’s applause 👏 BUT ask sfgov how many drug overdose homeless related death during COVID?

UCSF But Republicans can only bad mouth us Bay Areans, sneering about our “San Francisco values.” San Francisco actually values American lives, unlike much of the GOP, apparently.

UCSF KHi

UCSF Right & all those homeless people and rioters didn’t spread it at all. You just don’t count the death rate the way others do. In most states if someone dies at all these days it’s alway COVID related.

UCSF Propaganda is legal.

UCSF Everyone should take a look at the learning curve for 2nd wave of infections coming out of Europe.

UCSF They was strict.

UCSF The trick was no one wanted to go outside anyways cause of the state the city is in.

UCSF Sf has low population density for a big city. Sf destroyed small business and continues to do so even with low numbers. Now give us the suicide, domestic abuse and child abuse numbers for context.

UCSF San Francisco is one of the wealthiest cities in the nation. No essential workers could ever afford to live there.

UCSF Because the closed so many businesses that will never reopen.

UCSF But can’t seem to slow the rise of hobo’s shitting in the streets. 😑 FOH with San Francisco.

UCSF Give me a break

UCSF Maybe if the rest of us could work remotely eh?

UCSF San Francisco ROCKS! Gorgeous beautiful city!

Arriadna UCSF attn: megynkelly kinda sounds like “insanity” could save tens of thousands of lives, huh? hack

UCSF ScienceMatters kindness goodboundaries

UCSF Well nobody leaves their homes! They are afraid to walk on the sidewalks and get human shit all over their shoes!

UCSF I bet I could debunk this in under 60s by looking at mean age of population and death classification techniques.

UCSF Although that is a good point, have you seen the city it self and the businesses? They are gone. Half of storefronts are closed for good. Restaurants just holding on. Thousands left the city. Services are down. Homeless/mentally ill everywhere. No, SF is dying!!!!!

UCSF witepocket libtards

UCSF I don’t think SF serves as a model of health. What’s the rate of hepatitis, overdose, violent crime and hot and cold running feces in the streets?

UCSF With per capita GDP of $200K SF could afford the measures they took.

UCSF The idiot Trump has criticized SF. This moron needs to be removed ASAP.

UCSF You might consider rephrasing by eliminating 'just' or instead saying 'saved 170,000 lives'.

UCSF Translation, they follow science.

UCSF Pelosi and Harris among others are responsible for the slums, yet they’ve got ARMED protection and live in mansions! Twisted!!!! And you voted them in for decades!!! ,.........

UCSF Okay.

Experts credit San Francisco’s success to a long partnership between public health officers and universities, most notably during the AIDS crisis. San Francisco is not monolithic, but its residents largely followed health guidelines.

UCSF But the highest homelessness rate in the country. There are people shitting on every corner. It’s fucking filthy

UCSF People of the world. Please help. My son has a heart defect, his life is in danger of death. We need an urgent operation. If you can help, all the information on my page. Help save my child's life. Thank you very much

I'm sorry these are the most slow people I seen. Y'all really take advantage of these people intelligence. They still be close and coughing but they don't care. The only cure is me and when you do open I will be front and center and even more louder than before. I slowly taking

We’re doing okay in Orange County, businesses are open with precautions & some with limited hours. My work is busy as lots of construction is taking place.

Hmmm. What politicians represent San Francisco?

💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️but in San Francisco “there is a general appreciation by the public of the importance of science,” Wachter said, “and not widespread skepticism when leaders say these are the right things to do to save people’s lives.”

This approach never occurred to rural communities where the hospitals are at 99% capacity now and will be sending their sick into the city hospitals.

yeah, for mega corporations

While financially destroying the lives of its people.... vote red open our country up!

I mean, the city’s economy is ruined, but sure, yay Democrats!
