Any test result not back in three days is useless. 9 days is worse than useless.
How would San Mateo County Officials not know the daily turn around time, How are they not auditing those results daily.
Why would San Mateo County Officials allow a vendor to provide a service without a contract?
Deputy County Manager Justin Mates noted Virus Geeks is not a county contracted vendor and is therefore not overseen by the county or beholden to the county’s standards. There lies the problem get rid of them.
San Mateo County Event Center first $10M PPE now 9 days to get test results and Government didn’t know.
Before any more crimes are committed, I recommend the San Mateo County Supervisors contact James Brown, let him know you are sorry for the mix up, that whoever gave him the $10,000,000 of PPE did not have the authority to do so. Offer him $10,000 for his time and thank him for volunteering in the first place. San Mateo County should be distributing this PPE it’s in Geat Condition. Get it to the people in San Mateo County.

“We are working hard on getting this into the hands of organizations and groups that need it. Fortunately most of it is in Great condition, vacuum sealed in plastic and only the outer card board was damaged in many cases. Also there was quite a bit stored indoors.“
Why James Brown? isn’t there one employee in San Mateo County who has the capability and skill set to distribute the $9,000,000 of PPE that is in GREAT CONDITION according to him. It should be distributed to San Mateo County period.
If it’s in great condition today January 20, 2022 just think it must have been in great or perfect condition from the time SMC took possession of it, which to this still remains unknown.
When did SMC get this $10M of PPE?
Was it one shipment? what dates? Who signed for it?
Why didn’t SMC distribute it right after they got it?
Why doesn’t San Mateo County distribute it today?
It was No Mistake that this $10M PPE was left outside, It was ordered to be moved outside, part of the plan.
San Mateo Event Center Manager DANA STOEHR: “It’s, it was fully taken care of exactly the way it should have been.”
Today 9:00 A.M in Courtroom 2G This is the Political/Selective Prosecution that San Mateo County Government wants you to forget about. Do you remember the Smuggling a Cellphone and Drugs Charges?
Remember in mid 2014 Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez chose to run for Sheriff of San Mateo County. He like many honest SMC Sheriff Deputies were not OK with the way the Sheriff’s Office was being managed and decided to offer his services to the voters.
The first person from the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office to act Inappropriate was Chief Inspector William Massey and that inappropriate behavior was right out in the open. He made great efforts to impact Deputy Lopez’s finance employment. Not just once. He was obsessed.
The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office has been successful for the last seven years in keeping SMCDA Chief Inspector William Massey off of the Witness Stand.
Today 9:00 A.M in Courtroom 2G the Hon. Judge Joseph Scott has requested another very important witness who has been ready to testify for SEVEN years. He has personal knowledge of William Massey’s disgusting behavior.
Update: Judge Scott approved this witness for trial. Lets see what happens now, Finally after 7 years the Behavior of the District Attorney’s Office and the Sheriff’s Office might be exposed.
First step is to STOP the PPE from leaving, you have 5 days to accomplish that.

SMC Event Center DANA STOEHR: “It’s, it was fully taken care of exactly the way it should have been.”
On Thursday January 13, 2022 San Mateo County Manager Mike Callagy told ABC 7 Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes: Callagy told us he didn’t know about all that PPE that’s been deteriorating outside for months until I called. He immediately ordered county workers to bring the supplies back inside, to run an inventory and see how much of it is salvageable.
A source tells the I-Team a convoy of garbage trucks filled up with brand new PPE and took it to the dump, in the past two months.
On Thursday January 13, 2022 Dan Noyes quoted James Brown of the Wine Country Marines who said.”And so every single piece is being inspected and right now, we’re running over 90% that we’re finding is still in good, perfect condition,”
Who is James Brown and how and when did he get access to the PPE?
On Thursday January 13, 2022 we know that the $10,000,000.00 of FEMA PPE is worth $9,000,000.00 according to James Brown.
Did James Brown order the Convoy? A source tells the I-Team a convoy of garbage trucks filled up with brand new PPE and took it to the dump, in the past two months. What date did this convoy of garbage trucks allegedly happen. Where was the final destination? You would think a garbage truck would go to the DUMP, This is very easy to confirm if that actually happened.
Who ordered it? What time did the Convoy arrive at SMC Event Center? What time did the Convoy leave? How many trucks made up the Convoy? Who prepared the PPE for pickup? What time was it picked up? and Where did the Convoy take it? What time were the trucks available for the next service call?
If you go to Wine County Marines Facebook page you will see the January 13, 2022 6:00 P.M. announcement of the generous donation by San Mateo County Department of Emergency Management of the FEMA PPE. That’s James Brown’s website. The veterans’ advocacy group will be giving it all away to qualified groups on January 25 by appointment only.
James Brown mentions Money Laundering is his statement: “We don’t want anybody to take this and put it on eBay because that’s in essence money laundering, you’re taking federal taxpayer dollar purchased productions and you’re turning it into cash for you,” Brown said, continuing, “We’re not going to allow that.”
I asked Michelle Durand San Mateo County Chief Communications Officer County Manager’s Office for the Donation Document of the PPE to Wine Country Marines, here it is: No Response yet.

I also asked San Mateo County Board of Supervisor President Don Horsley to Stop this. No response
STOP PPE from leaving the SMC Event Center today.Yahoo/Sent
Michael Stogner <michaelgstogner@yahoo.com>To: Don Horsley Tue, Jan 18 at 8:18 AM
Good morning Don, Congratulations on being named the President of the Board of Supervisors this year. I’m asking you to step in as the President of the BOS and halt any PPE from leaving the Event Center at this time.
Something to think about San Mateo County Manager Mike Callagy works at the pleasure of the 5 Supervisors. He should have resigned by now on his own. All Five of the Supervisors support him.
On Thursday January 13, 2022 ABC 7 Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes interviewed Supervisor David Canepa about the More than $10,000,000.00 of PPE left outside the San Mateo County Event Center for several months unprotected.
San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa told the I-Team, “It’s because of your investigation, because of your investigation, that we have to acknowledge that we made a mistake. And the public needs to know that a mistake was made.” Looks like it wasn’t a mistake, now what?
San Mateo County Event Center Manager DANA STOEHR: “It’s, it was fully taken care of exactly the way it should have been.”
Mike Callagy is San Mateo County Manager. He is trained how Not to answer a simple question.
DAN NOYES: “Can you give me an idea of the amount of money we’re talking?”
MIKE CALLAGY: “I don’t know. There’s a lot of PPE out there.”
Mike Callagy told us he didn’t know about all that PPE that’s been deteriorating outside for months until I called. He immediately ordered county workers to bring the supplies back inside, to run an inventory and see how much of it is salvageable.
A source tells the I-Team a convoy of garbage trucks filled up with brand new PPE and took it to the dump, in the past two months — a massive waste of your tax dollars that the county promises won’t happen again.
Who ordered the “convoy of garbage trucks” What date or dates did that occur? What evidence is there that the trucks made it to the Dump.
These interviews took place on January 13, 2022. At 6:00 P.M. the same day James Brown of the Wine Country Marines announces on their Facebook page that San Mateo County Department of Emergency Management just gave him a boatload of PPE. That announcement was made 12 minutes before the ABC 7 I Team’s report was made public. That is Warp Speed in my opinion.
Stop any more of the PPE from leaving the SMC Convention Center right this minute.
This is the James Brown who was just given $10M of PPE
These photos by Mark De Paula were taken Sunday January 16, 2022
I see “$10M CASH” of “federal taxpayer dollar purchased productions” I don’t see a big mess, I don’t see “Surplus”
Money Laundering was the first thought that came to my mind, when I read and watched ABC 7 News report.
This is from ABC 7 Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes who first reported this Thursday January 13, 2022 at 6:12 P.M.
“We don’t want anybody to take this and put it on eBay because that’s in essence money laundering, you’re taking federal taxpayer dollar purchased productions and you’re turning it into cash for you,” Brown said, continuing, “We’re not going to allow that, but what we do want to do is get this into the hands of any organization that serves the community. If you’re out there serving the homeless or doing a food kitchen or a shelter, if you’re treating patients, any of that.”
Who in San Mateo County Government gave James Brown the $10,000,000 of PPE aka federal taxpayer dollar purchased productions?
This action happened before January 13, 2022 at 6:00 P.M. When Wine Country Marines Facebook page said
Large Donation of PPE Updated: 2 days ago
The Wine Country Marines are excited to announce a partnership with the San Mateo County Department of Emergency Management. Specifically, the County DEM has graciously donated to the Wine Country Marines a very large supply of excess inventory of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that they were provided by FEMA, to be shared with the community at large.
So James Brown (whoever he is) announced San Mateo County Graciously Donated to the (Wine Country Marines) whoever they are the $10,000,000.00 of PPE. 12 minutes before Dan Noyes reported the story.
First let me start by saying I have the Highest Regard for the United States Marine Corps. Sgt. Norman S. Stogner and Emily Greer Stogner, My aunt and uncle were one of the first couples married in Hawaii in their Marine Uniforms on April 14, 1945. They are both laid to rest at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, San Mateo County. Plots S 1195 & 1196.
I am asking you to Stop and Pause any further actions regarding the reported $10,000,000 of PPE that was first reported by ABC Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes on January 13, 2022. I noticed your Facebook page dated January 13, 2022 at 6:00PM titled Large Donation of PPE, Please notify all non-profits and organizations that could use PPE to serve their citizens in the community.
This has happened so fast, and that is one of the reasons I’m respectfully requesting a Stop and Pause.
The other is this PPE is not surplus, it should have been distributed to San Mateo County Nurses, Doctors, Hospitals, Nursing Homes etc. or if not needed there Santa Clara County right next door to San Mateo County has just made an emergency request for PPE.
Thank You for considering my request, I have also asked A.G. Rob Bonta to stop this until this can be sorted out.
The veterans’ advocacy group will be giving it all away to qualified groups on January 25 by appointment only. That’s 9 days from now.

Dan Noyes Investigative Reporter for ABC 7 reported on Thursday January 13, 2022 that $10M of PPE was moved outside of a secure location at the San Mateo County Convention Center. The reason given for the move was to use that space for a really cool convention held in September. They NEVER moved the PPE back inside it remained outside for more than 3 months. But here is what San Mateo County Manager Mike Callagy did do right after Dan Noyes report went public, He gave away the $10M of PPE, to the Wine County Marines. WHY so FAST? and WHY them?
Think about that, most Residents of San Mateo County didn’t know anything about Dan Noyes’s report 3 days ago. James Brown sure did, Mike Callagy sure did.
What date and time did County Manager Mike Callagy give the $10M PPE away?

Two days ago Dan Noyes Investigative Reporter ABC News reported on $10M of PPE being damaged while stored outside the San Mateo County Event Center for more than 3 months unprotected from the elements and persons. Below is a photo of where the PPE was being stored before this really important meeting caused the PPE to be moved outside. I ask the question was it worth it? What was the cost to move the PPE outside. What was the Income to San Mateo County for renting the facilities for 5 days? What was the plan for bringing the PPE back inside a safe and secure structure. Why wasn’t this event held at a Hotel or even several Hotels?
Below Article on event that caused PPE to be moved outside.
