Chinatown is lagging behind every other SF neighborhood in terms of vaccinating its senior population.

As of March 16, 32% of Chinatown’s residents were at least partially vaccinated, but 35% of its population is elderly. (1/x)

In response to our analysis, @SF_DPH told us it’s been monitoring the situation since mid-February. “We are absolutely aware of Chinatown,” said Dr. Albert Yu, SFDPH’s chief health information officer. (2/x)
However, the department doesn’t have enough data yet to explain why Chinatown has slipped, including whether seniors are choosing to wait to be vaccinated, are being overlooked or some combination of the two.

“We don’t have that level of granularity in our data," Yu said. (3/x)

Conservatorship is a hot-button topic in #SF.
But for Supervisor @RafaelMandelman, the issue isn’t just about policy. It’s personal. We spoke with him about his experience conserving his mother & why he thinks conservatorship can help move SF forward.hrsy.media/6LW9qS (1/5)
.@RafaelMandelman’s mother battled mental illness and homelessness throughout her life.

“I'm a freshman at Yale, and I'm on a payphone in the library talking to her in a homeless shelter, which was this sort of crazy dichotomy," he said. (2/5)
This personal experience led @RafaelMandelman to become a major supporter of conservatorship in SF.
But he’s disappointed with its slow implementation so far.
In nearly two years, just one person has been placed in court-ordered treatment. (3/5) sfexaminer.com/news/conservat…
