stephanie cohen and jim marks from the department of public health, and let me say that i am quite aware that testing is under a lot of constraints in the city, in the state, in this country as testing resources are being moved to other parts of this country where there is much more transmission and death. i am also aware that i have -- i'm not aware of, i have been a champion of making sure that in residential hotels that exist in northbound beach, chinatown, the tenderloin, the mission, for the most part, which are extremely transmissive environments with congregant shared settings -- shared kitchens, shared baths -- that we do everything in our power to decrease the spread of covid through increased testing, and we've done that in a variety of ways. colleagues, i want to say that given the constraints that i've earlier mentioned, we've been in contact with members of the s.r.o.s -- advocates and s.r.o.s. to that end, i think transparency and data is paramount. that has been rather opaque for all of us, and i know that d.p.h. has been trying to get that data and, most importantly, accu
