threshold for all metrics for three days, it is removed from the county monitoring list the following day. the harder part, getting the numbers down once they've crossed the threshold because of the long incubation period. even with a complete shutdown, it would take at least a week. >> it will take while for the case rates to come down. by a while, i mean a few weeks. and so it's not, it is because people are already infected, or in various points of incubation. >> sandal mateo county was off for weeks. >> i don't know what we could have done. i really don't. we spent a huge amount of money on advertising, on billboards. we've done all these things about placards and businesses, reaching out to communities. >> the toughest part about the state's watch list. it affects everyone differently. >> some people get to stay open and some don't.

now more and more to homeless families and seniors such as the homelessness. >> so what have the effects of the homeless been, especially on low income renters? >> our residents are especially frugal. unfortunately, this pandemic has really impacted them in terms of employment. and what we are seeing is that at present, they're still continuing to pay their rent. the stimulus checks have certainly helped and making the unemployment payments have help. we provide a lot of resident services which is really important at this time. we've been providing food and meal deliveries to a lot of our properties, our service coordinators check in with our senior residents, especially. they provide them daily wellness checks. make sure that they're able to

access health care resources, and also to shelter in place. we're looking to provide services remotely to a lot of our local income families as well. >> it sounds like you're really hands on. i wonder what level of anxiety you're hearing from people that you work with. >> so you know, our households and other population that's we serve sadly in the bay area, the cost of living is so high, it has always been the case, and housing is so difficult to find. so one of the things that a lot of our tenants are concerned about, what is it going to mean for me if i'm behind on rental payments. so that's definitely a big concern. the loss of employment, of course, sometimes means that you dn't have health care benefits.

so there's a lot of anxiety all around. a lot of our tenants are employed, so a lot of folks are uber and lyft drivers, they work in the hospitality and retail seconders. so a higher degree of uncertainty than in other populations for sure. >> a lot of people are talking about leaving the bay area. some may. especially san francisco because it is so expensive. that's not as easy for low income workers because many of them have to be present to do their job. they can't really work from home. >> yes. and you know, we're definitely seeing that in our properties. our vacancy rate is still pretty low. our occupancy, most recently is still up at 96.for you%, i believe. so you know, we are definitely not seeing the exodus that we believe is happening in the

market sector. a big reason for that is because our tenants do not have those resources where they can just pick up and leave. andthe other thing to keep in mind is that we house a lot of fixed income seniors and a lot of working families, low income families. a lot of them have lived in these properties for many, many years. and there is a very close-knit community so it is really difficult from that perspective as well to just pick up and relocate to someplace else. >> sure. a lot of people don't want to leave their homes. thank you. an organization that help low income and homeless people in santa clara county is now asking for help itself. west valley community services is looking to raise the final $300,000 on a 2 million fundraising campaign that started last year.

time for the four at 4:00 as sanda and ama join us. i'm sorry, i froze there for a second. and i knew who would be on, too. i think it was the hair. president trump is suggesting the november election should be delayed. he tweeted that with universal mail-in voting, this will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history. mr. trump has long made claims

of mail-in voting fraud which are unsupported. any delay of the election would take an act of congress and several republicans, including senate majority leader mitch mcconnell say the election will go on as planned in november. so these are just my own thoughts here. i'm a big fastball of david blaine, the magician who says look over here, look over here, this would be the election talk, what's over here? over here are some economic numbers. the gross domestic product which measures the total value of what we produce as a country. the number just came down. we're down almost 33% in the last quarter. that's the worst in history and that includes the great depression in 1929. we were down 27%. under employment claims also going up as more states shut down. it is almost impossible to get reelected with this kind of economic news. read into this what you want. the less we talked about the economy, the more likely it is

that mr. trump would get reelected. in just my opinion. you have some thoughts? >> well, the first thing i thought was, okay, let's say we go along with the election as planned. if you lose, you already said it was the most inaccurate and fraudulent. if you win, what do you say? just a thought. >> a very valid thought. moving on, yesterday we told but people fleeing the bay area. a whopping number are working from home. in the last two days, 25 people posted on the south beach next door page that they are moving out of their san francisco condos citing everything from working from home to quote, there is nothing to do will so what do you think? is there nothing to do anymore? i want to weigh in by saying, i've had a chance to rediscover san francisco which has been really lovely and exploring some of the parks safely, right?

at a distance, socially distanced and in a way, yes, many things are closed, i've also discovered loot of activity that's can be done from the safety of your home and the connection of picking up your home and calling people. doing zooms to people i used to just text. so i would tend to disagree. what do you think? >> i agree with you 100%. i think you have to get creative. you have to figure out different things to do. and like you said, go out to the local parks. enjoy the beauty, nature, obviously keeping social distance and wearing your mask. you can go for a bike ride, a hike, a walk. there is so much to do in the bay area. i final it hard to bereave, people say there's nothing to do. if you think about all the beauty that surrounds us, you can final something to do. >> a lot of folks are saying, once people who want to leave san francisco and the bay area leave, they're going to discover there's less to do wherever they decide to go and will come back.
