"usa today" leads tonight with a story about florida. and florida frankly looms right now in terms of serious worries about what may be coming for that big, frankly poorly governed state with millions of elderly residents. florida knows that it has over 2,000 coronavirus cases right now, but as alan gomez reports for "usa today" this evening, the state of florida also has had next to no testing. so who knows what the real number is in florida? quote

thank my staff for putting this together, working very closely in particular with the leadership of seiu 1021, but the frontline staff, julie, krista, heather, they're there every day, put transgender on the line, and they have tried to be a put for -- putting it on the line for -- every day for the people in the city and county of san francisco. so i know the situation that we're dealing with and the crisis that we're dealing with, i don't want to take anymore time. we're going to have a lot of questions, and i know that dr. colfax and others are going to speak, so the first person i'm going to call up is dr. colfax, the head of the department of public health. >> good afternoon, supervisors, chair mar, supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: five minutes, please. >> fellow committee members, glen colfax, director of public health, san francisco. i just want to emphasize how much i appreciate the importance of this issue. i trained and worked in the zuckerberg san francisco general, including in the hiv/aids epidemic. i know firsthand that nurses and their care are the foundation of the

something like that, it stands out 1600 nurses just temporary exempt, just far and away any of the other seiu positions. so it seems like there's a specific particular solution that's needed there in addition to the one by one, one-off kind of approach to it. so i hope that would be part of the analysis. i also want to flag that i'm not especially surprised to see that. d.p.w. is at the top when it comes to the use of exempt employees in local 21. as we look at this broader question of what's happening at d.p.w. or forms at d.p.w., and even the work that the controller is doing to see what is happening at d.p.w., i would hope that would be part of this analysis because folks have said not just what this means for the workers, which is what's most important, but broader questions in the way that a department operates and favoriti favortism. that's a concern around what's been happening in d.p.w. for obvious reasons. so i just want to be sure that that's a part of the analysis that you're doing, and there are these other efforts including looking closely at d.p.w., which this is clearly a part
