Very curious why this article didn’t come up when I did a search for articles with the Mission Local tag “Pandemic.” Could you add that? Thanks!

Awful news, especially when we’re in a spike and people are still dying. Shame on SF DPH. How are people supposed to access “the tools”?
Also, so many people are becoming disabled by long covid. And so many people can’t safely access healthcare anymore, with universal masking gone, especially disabled and high-risk people. Mission Local, will you please cover these topics?

In reply to Mark.

Emphasis: Past tense. We’re being told SF General is short handed for front line workers.

In reply to CSL3.

More misinformation and paranoia from CSL3. Covid is endemic now. It’s never going away. There will continue to be seasonal spikes. Stay vaccinated, use common sense and act responsibly. If you’re not feeling well mask up.

Deaths aren’t “down”, they just stopped counting. Both deaths and infections are at their highest rate since the onset of Omicron: https://www.today.com/health/news/covid-wave-2024-rcna132529

And that’s not even counting the hundreds of thousands with Long COVID or the 30+ million dead worldwide. The pandemic is NOT over, and taking away resources is making it worse (insured or not).

This is all wrong. Those need to be open through April (after Easter/ Passover/ spring school break which will most likely result in another covid spike). DPH needs to be contacted. PS. I went to their web page and at the bottom you are directed to 311, the general customer service center…let’s see if that works

The one public health intervention that actually produced noticeable and measurable results in SF, will be closed. Community health workers and groups have been critical around the country working with “marginalized” populations. So much so, Biden promised a national program of 100,000 (another covid promise which bit the dust). With barely disguised cynicism, Breed tried to shutter the service a year or so ago because she’s intent on throwing more money at the SFPD (who are not community health workers, but the billionaire boyz like them). Widespread resistance kept it open. Unidos doesn’t just do covid, as the article points out.
