so with our partnership at u.c.s.f. and the latino taskforce, all those samples are being sequenced and then i'll turn to have them answer what percent of their samples are being. i think the key with the sequencing right now with the sample, the turn around time is considerable. so that's why we really wanted to run this sample locally as quickly as possible. as you know, across the nation and across the state locally, we're continuing to ensure that we sequence specimens as quickly as possible. again, i think the point is omicron is here. i don't want to be focused on when's the next case coming. we should all be reactive as we were yesterday. we need to get those vaccines and boosters get tested if you know that you've been exposed and continue to wear those masks. and i don't know if you have more to add. dr. topper. >> yeah. so color health provides much of the infrastructure to execute their programs to defend against covid. to make unique samples available for sequencing. almost 100% of the samples, of the positi

u.c.s.f. is eager to partner on best practices to reduce childhood obesity. i am happy to take your questions. >> thank you, dr. beck. that was very informative. i appreciate you taking the time today. we all do. i have one question. how often do you believe as a city we should be pulling data on childhood obesity? how often should we look at that to inform our decisions? every year, every couple years? >> that is a great question. i love data. as a physician who does research, i think data is very important. i would say probably yearly if possible. it can take longer than that for the impact of any policy change to bear fruit. i would say yearly but necessarily to be disappointed just because you are not seeing year-over-year improvements. >> okay. >> i will add to that. i would say i would recommend for the data to be collected in more grades than just 6, 7, 9 because that is a real gap. we know that it is important to intervene at earlier ages. >> we have, i believe, dph might mention this. we have child care data in san francisco. we have clinical data fo

from u.c.s.f. he has not logged on. let us know when he logged on for his presentation. before that let's go to questions if that is okay. all of the presentations of city staff are now over. i would like to start with director carroll. we saw the role of making sure the trains kept running as a disaster management roll versus public health role we had the expectation all of these different areas were going to be coming under one umbrella of a chain of command. i am wondering how that is different now. i called this hearing because the observation was that we were doing a great job with the public health issues. there were other issues that needed to happen. we lost director carroll. >> the tv went on in my office. >> supervisor ronen: there are other issues that are impacting us right, to make sure schools remain open? that was supply issues, purchasing, hr, transportation. i am wondering how you see that transition between emergency management to the transition to public health. >> i will start and turn it over to anna. again dph has a very robust and expanded team, th

and just going back from it in terms of deaths per 100,000, it has been estimated by u.c.s.f. that if the united states had the same death rate that san francisco had over 600,000 deaths would have been prevented nationwide. over 600,000 deaths would have been prevented nationwide. next slide. in terms of cases, our cases have peaked. you can see on the left graph here our cases have started to peak, for those who have not been vaccinated and those shown in the orange and dotted blue line and you see that our cases peaked at over 200,000 and are now going down. and just to emphasize that this case rate was far higher than anything we had ever seen before including in 2021. in terms of deaths by months overtime. thankfully we are not in the winter of 2021 when we were just starting to roll out those vaccines as you see. on the death thankfully are not anywhere near where they were in 2021. we will unfortunately still have some additional deaths because of delays due to reporting, but we do not expect the magnitude that we saw last winter. next slide. in terms of hospitalization

around 60% completion, but it's really taking shape there on campus and we're collaborating with the u.c.s.f. team on the roadway that divides existing building and the research building and we're using it collaboratively, the oj problem there is with pg&e. so at this point, if we can open it up for questions, commissioners any questions. before we do that, secretary morewitz, do we have any questions? >> secretary: there's no one on the line, commissioner. >> president bernal: thank you. commissioners, any questions or comments. commissioner chow. >> commissioner chow: yes. i was looking through this program schedule and i think briefly, mark, could you describe how far our projects are in terms of being behind or being ahead? >> commissioner chow, can i have joe address that since he's been collaborating with the general contractor and their scheduling far more than i have. joe. >> yeah. sure. obviously right now, we have two projects that are nearing completion. those are the sixh surge space and the rehabilitation project. so those are probably the closest -- currently in construction th
