"There are two combined destinations that are going on this moment: One here in Bolinas, which is exceptionally provincial and individuals are very isolated and it's disconnected. What's more, another, not exactly an hour's drive away, in the Mission District of San Francisco, where it's thickly populated, individuals live extremely near one another, and it's associated," said Dr. Bryan Greenhouse, an associate educator at UCSF and one of the examination's scientists.
