With only two ICU beds currently available how is this county moving to the red tier by tomorrow? Help me to understand.
Laura, That is a Great question. San Mateo County Supervisors and County Manager Mike Callagy should be able to explain it. Also there is no mention of “B.1.427/B.1.429. California strain COVID-19 will probably account for 90% of the state’s infections by the end of next month, said Dr. Charles Chiu , an infectious diseases researcher and physician at UCSF.” Todays LATIMES.
