The best ongoing summary of covid in San Francisco:

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 43

Still stable overall @UCSFHospitals, with 14 patients, 4 on ventilators (Fig on left). New & improved @ucsf dashboard (Fig R): note uptick in positive tests in last few days, a bit of a worrisome signal. There’s still virus out there in SF.

[Tony Bennett @itstonybennett]

I am proud to invite the citizens of San Francisco to raise their voices in song. This Saturday, April 25 at 12pm PDT, join as we sing I Left My Heart in San Francisco from our homes. Let's spread the love and strength throughout the bay! #SingOutSF

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 36
After stats, a grab bag today – stuff that I’m reading, hearing & otherwise thinking about.

@UCSFhospitals stable, w/ 17 cases, 4 intubated. Last 1200 tests (PCR) @ucsf: 1% positive. Still only 1 death since start, 41 recovered & discharged.

10/ @nirajsehgal, our command center lead, offered cool tidbit re: 1 more piece of luck (59m on video). Command center launched 2/2, SuperBowl Sun, date of 49ers’ heartbreaking loss. Had they won, would've been big parade, may have led to thousands of cases. (Think Mardi Gras.)

Excited to share the first of 2 podcasts I did with Kim at the Lomah Special Needs Podcast. Our focus: Understanding confusing and complex terms in the legal and financial world.

Unexpected but honored that I was the lead actor in one of @IndieWire's top 15 music videos of the decade!

A super creative video for @lennykravitz. Directed by the awesome @keithscho. Link below.

One of my favorite projects as an actor.

Lenny Kravitz & Justice — “Let Love Rule” (dir. @keithscho). The most satisfying thing about this pre-"Too Many Cooks" adventure isn’t just the meta setup. @LennyKravitz https://t.co/kYBo5TTxKn

Thank you, @ADL, for your International Leadership Award. My message: if we want to stop hate, we have to regulate Facebook and social media - the greatest propaganda machine in history. My full speech here: https://t.co/WD23rHVLMY

Very proud of my father, Michael Gilfix - received Ruth Bader Ginsburg award from Jewish Bar Assoc. of SF for his work creating Elder Law field in early 1970s, and creating free first free legal aid programs for elderly and americans with disabilities. https://t.co/0NVeqr7ryc

Whoever ends up winning the #SanFrancisco DA election, hope they improve city response to car break ins w/ enforcement.
A little better recently, but I’ve had 3 windows smashed in last 3 years. Property crime can devastate families already struggling with city’s high costs.

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

And, the San Francisco DA's race is very much tightening. Chesa Boudin's first-choice vote lead has grown, and Suzy Loftus's final-round lead has dropped from 2205 votes yesterday to 879 votes today. 👀 (h/t @Taniel)

[Mark Gerson Gilfix @markgilfix]

America is on the precipice of a long term care catastrophe: No caregivers, massive gaps in government safety nets. Population over 85 growing 200% by 2050. Families MUST plan ahead.

SECURE act (not yet law) could increase tax on inherited IRAs. 10 yr limit for withdrawal. Major estate tax changes coming in 2026 (or sooner.) $millions at stake for many families. Good article summary via @MarketWatch

Crypto currencies present major new challenges in cases of divorce - similar in estate planning situations. If you have crypto holdings, you need expert guidance on how to make sure they are properly managed for your family.

Getting divorced? Splitting up crypto assets could prove a headache, lawyers warn (via @i_woodford)
