Offer expires September 15, 2022, so sign up today!You have permission to edit this article.Welcome,San Mateo County Manager Mike Callagy said he will continue to request health officials release COVID-19 case information according to location.Callagy expressed an interest in sharing the data during a press conference Monday, April 20 — the same day San Francisco officials unveiled a map detailing where confirmed cases occurred according to zip code.To date, county Health Officer Dr. Scott Morrow has been reticent to release such data for fear of establishing a false sense of security in areas where there is a low concentration of cases.But with 920 cases confirmed in San Mateo County, Callagy said some feel a sufficiently substantial sample has been collected to justify a more detailed look at specific locations.“Certainly we have an interest in seeing that,” said Callagy, who said he believed a map or other form of tracking would be beneficial. He said the issue was discussed on a call with officials from across the county recently and that he will again raise it with Morrow and health experts.He balanced that perspective though by reiterating Morrow’s position that the best practice is to assume that the virus is everywhere, and that it has infected countless people across the county.“We don’t want to send the wrong message,” he said.More broadly, Callagy said the county remains adequately prepared to respond to the virus. The confirmed case count increased by 36 people from the day prior, with the death toll at 28.There are 61 patients hospitalized with the disease, and the county has ventilators, intensive care beds and surge space to accommodate an influx of patients.Looking ahead, Callagy said enforcement of the new requirement to wear masks or face coverings during essential trips will begin Wednesday. The coverings are not required while exercising or walking, but only during trips to the grocery store, hospital or other necessary outings.He said failure to comply could yield fines or an arrest in dire circumstances, but ultimately enforcement would fall to the discretion of officers.×××The CDC Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease was just released, providing statistics from 2/1 through 4/18. In CA, there were 575 COVID deaths, 61,390 deaths from other causes, 5068 pneumonia deaths and 534 influenza deaths. So we killed the world's 5th largest economy for a virus similar to the flu? Why didn't we kill the economy for the other 60,000+ deaths? Or the almost 9x multiple of deaths due to pneumonia? If COVID kills the boondoggle high speed rail and we can reduce the government bureaucracy and wasteful spending, maybe the shutdown was worth it. Read the report as I'm only summarizing CA.Mr. Callagy, thank you for challenging King Morrow. So San Mateo is okay with imprisoning people for not wearing a mask even though they’re releasing convicted criminals into the public? And supporting illegal aliens? Which are hypocritical and illegal behavior from the county. So you get arrested and get to interact with the cops and everyone in the booking process? What if you claim you never heard of this order? Will cops show it to you? Many people don't bother with the fake news anymore. So what happens when King Morrow says everyone needs to eat their vegetables, else you’ll be fined or imprisoned, or both? Sounds like this may be a money grab to take back some of the $1200 check from the feds. It also sounds like an adversarial relationship is potentially being fostered by San Mateo authorities.
