Lookout PM: Bay Area COVID trends looking good; playwright Spike Wong reflects on his identity

It’s a new week once again, friends,

I hope you had a relaxing weekend and were able to stay out of yesterday’s heat! That, or you made the most of it and took to the beach, a pool or some other cool, refreshing place.

We’ll kick off Monday with some tentatively good COVID news...

Bay Area’s summer surge is waning. Will it last?

COVID Dashboard: The Bay Area’s case rate has continued to drop over the past few weeks along with hospitalizations and deaths. But with cases still high, will it last? See the latest data here.

And that’s how this week begins. As always, thanks for reading, and we’ll be back tomorrow.
