Anointing San Francisco "the city that knows how to beat back covid" requires ignoring the plight of Latinxs and Blacks.
Two reporters dig beneath the feel-good stories that led SF health officials to pat themselves on the back.
The most powerful new weapon in the city’s war on Covid-19 is a mid-sized daily testing site at the 24th Street BART Plaza.
The high numbers indicate a continuing surge, researchers said.
3,184 individuals were given rapid tests in the first five days.
A nearly inverse situation appeared in early-December, 2020, Alameda County health data, showing areas where Covid-19 spread fast had low test rates, and vice versa.
Despite red flags, the city was slow to come up with a COVID-19 response targeting the Latinx community.
