I did it; you should too! Absent widespread testing, this is a way for reaearchers to figure out what is happening with #covid19 in our region.
You can help researchers get an accurate picture of the spread of #COVID19 in our community. We only need 422 more people on the app to get a COVID estimate for Sacramento County. Please help by taking 1 min daily to report how you feel 🙏.

And now, in happier news.
The adventure continues! 🐧🐧 This morning, Edward and Annie explored Shedd’s rotunda. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season. Springtime is nesting season for penguins at Shedd, and this year is no different! (1/3) 👇

I'm heartbroken by the news of a shooting in West Englewood yesterday. No parent should fear for their child's safety. We must stop the epidemic of violence in our city and take care of victims & witnesses, who continue to experience trauma long after these devastating events.
Update: Officials say at least six people were wounded, including two young children, in a shooting in West Englewood. An eight-year-old boy was shot in the chest and back and a 10-year-old girl was shot in the shin.
