San Francisco Chronicle reported. On Wednesday, Aragón, answering questions from host Manny Yekutiel and from viewers watching the Zoom presentation, said the city's current surge in new cases and hospitalizations could quickly explode to unprecedented demand for medical care if current trends are not reversed.He pointed out that while San Francisco is experiencing a less severe pandemic compared to other parts of the state and country, such as Los Angeles and Florida, the rising reproductive rate, if not curbed, could quickly raise number of hospitalized patients from 100 in late July to 500 or more by fall.
