San Mateo County should have been on the State’s Watchlist several days ago.
July 12-18, 2020 San Mateo County Tested 4238 for a daily average of 605. Why? According to Louise Rogers of SMC Health the County is supposed to be testing 1500 people per day.
San Mateo County has a population of at least 750,000 residents.
It’s time for the local Mayors to provide the testing for their residents.
July 19, 2020 San Mateo County had 8 ICU Beds and Staff available. They are supposed to maintain a 20% availability which would be 13 beds. July 15,16,17 & 19 they had less than the 20%.
I believe testing should be reserved for people who have the symptoms, if you are going to see friends or family that have underling health issues a COVID-19 test should be done. In other words why waste health officials time.
One reason is many people who have COVID-19 have ZERO symptoms.
Ok. With that logic when tested negative on one day the following day one can be positive. Should we get tested every day?
