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
There are other parts that have access indie indiscernible . Operator you have three questions remaining. Speaker i would like to commend the sfmta on the slowstreets program. I think its great and particularly, i have frequently used the one on sanchez and if anything, thats to be extended even further and the slow street on 20th can be extended west, as well. I think that would be a great idea. I want to reiterate what everybody else said regarding the tenderloin, an equity standpoint in ten in terms of mg everyones lives better, its unfair they dont have slow streets. And people should take a step back and remember 30 of people in San Francisco dont even own a car and yet up until now, almost 100 of the streets where dedicated largely to cars and even now, 95 , so i think thats important perspective to keep in mind and just remember as we go forward, i think that this would be great to implement, especially after the pandemic and hopefully, make the city a better place to live in.

And promotions staff within Population Health, and those folks are under this yellow block under operations, but that means that theyre also overseeing the Human Services, which is doing housing and feeding. [inaudible] within Population Health, and that modelling that theyre doing is both our normal work of taking in public results of Infectious Disease tests, but its also new work that i think is really an advancement of what we normally do in the department, working with outside assistance for modelling and making sure that we are able to project into the future. And that is led by jim marks, who is an anesthesiologist and many others in that structure. Go forward. Ill let you know that all of the guidance that comes out is part of the information and Guidance Group that is headed by reeta nguyen, dr. Rita nguyen, and she is part of Population Health and leads a team of doctors and physicians and they write all the research about what the current recommendations are. That group had
And then the actual final report which often times may be pending further toxicology testing, or may additional investigation. That has taken a longer period of time. The name standard is to issued the final determination and report, 90 within 90 days. Our goal continues to reach that. We have particularly difficult time doing that in 2018, after the department move to the new location. All of our Forensic Laboratory equipment was being recertified. We fell very behind in that part of it. During the last two quarters of the last fiscal year we are now regularly the average of completing a toxicology testing is down to 71 days. That has enabled us to be much closer to issuing that report within the 90 day window. We havent finalized all of that to give you a concrete exact where we are as a last quarter. That is part of what were doing now. All of which is to say, we are much closer during the past 12 months to being at the 90 . I would anticipate when we look at the data we would be so
