Thanks to all 31 sewing enthusiasts and four drivers who have participated. Out yourself only if you care to. Attached is a photo of the miracle filter fabric SCOTT HEAVY DUTY. All 31 of you have a new package at your door with this material plus another fabric that is softer on your face.
Sandwich two layers of the blue towel between the fabric of your choice. I read a hundred articles last night and tested 18 products.
Suffice it to say I have a lot of lights and cameras you don’t have but compare it to coughing into the bright sunlight and seeing all the “sparkles” in the air. I found this product on a Business Insider article and it was one of many, many products I tested last night. These filters are durable when sandwiched, washable, DO NOT PUT THEM DOWN YOUR TOILET FOR ANY REASON.
For Immediate Release New Bay Area Public Health Recommendation to Cover the Face
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Bay Area health officials are recommending residents cover their nose and mouth with cloth when leaving home for essential travel such as doctor appointments, grocery shopping or pharmacy visits.
The regional recommendation aligns with new guidance from the California Department of Public Health.
The face coverings do not have to be hospital grade but need to cover the nose and mouth. For example, bandanas, fabric masks and neck gaiters are acceptable. Fabric covers and bandanas can be washed and used again.
Health officials do not recommend that the public use medical masks (N-95 or surgical masks), which are in limited supply and must be preserved for our health care workers and first responders.
Up until now, local officials have not recommended the large-scale use of face coverings, but circumstances have changed.
Covering the nose and mouth with cloth also may be beneficial as a reminder to keep physical distancing. Health officials continue to stress that staying home, frequent hand

Cloth face coverings, when combined with physical distancing and hand washing, may prevent transmission of coronavirus to others when leaving the house for essential activities.
Medical masks should be preserved for health care workers and first responders
“In addition to shelter-in-place and social distancing requirements, wearing a mask in public is an important tool to stop the community spread of this disease,” says Scott Morrow, MD, San Mateo County health officer. “People with no or mild symptoms may have coronavirus and not know it. Wearing face coverings helps protect others from exposure.”
washing and physical distancing are the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
Acceptable face coverings can be made of a variety of cloth materials, be factory-made or hand-sewn, or can be improvised using bandanas, scarves, t-shirts, sweatshirts or towels.
Face coverings should be washed frequently with detergent and hot water and dried on a hot cycle. Ideally, wash your face covering after each use, and have a dedicated laundry bag or bin.
Make sure the covering is comfortable – you don’t want to have to keep adjusting the mask, which means touching your face. Always wash your hands, or use hand sanitizer, before AND after touching your face or face coverings.
Update: Louise Rogers Chief of Health stated 534 Tests Total in SMC through March 30, 2020.
According to the SMDJ article this morning wrote “The regional stay-at-home mandate will remain in place until at least May, said officials working diligently to ready San Mateo County for an expected surge in coronavirus cases.” It didn’t identify which SMC Government Officials made that order. I’ve asked County Manager Mike Callagy if it was him, or Dr. Scott Morrow?
Mike Callagy’s response “The orders come from the Health Officers in the Bay Area. 7 of them have come together to develop new and modify the old orders. Dr. Morrow is the Health Officer for San Mateo County.”
One of the main unanswered questions for San Mateo County residents is How many COVID-19 tests have been taken to date? This is an important question. How many people in San Mateo County who have symptoms and went to Hospitals or Urgent Care locations and were sent home because no tests were available?
How many TESTS are available for the PUBLIC in San Mateo County Today?
There are 309 confirmed cases in San Mateo County, with six deaths linked to the disease. Callagy said officials are still gathering testing data which will help model a local curve of potential exposure and infection. Currently, he said the testing sample size is too small to be considered representative of the county. Why?
Mike Callagy said the business relief fund formed to aid local companies suffering in the wake of the shelter-in-place mandate is seeking donations as well. This is what the Board of Supervise gave $3M of taxpayer money to last week of course it wasn’t called that on the Agenda.
Update: March 27, 2020 1:30 PM Good News SMC Parks are Closed
This should be a no brainer, COVID-19 is a Virus with no cure, no vaccine, we don’t know how it spreads, we have first responders who wear PPE getting infected and San Mateo County Leaders think its ok to encourage people to leave their homes after Governor Newson issued a Stay in Home order, on top of San Mateo County Health Shelter in Place order. This is like the President saying go to Church on Easter Sunday.
Hello Nicholas, Please apply common sense and meet the moment! San Mateo County Parks message to “Keep Parks Open” is inconsistent with Scott Morrow’s message to the public and is giving the public the idea that it is just fine to go to your favorite park or beach. Your decision to keep County Parks open is straining local resources, especially the grocery markets, and absolutely increasing the COVID-19 pandemic. Yesterday, the public got into a yelling and screaming fight at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve after hours and sticks and logs were being thrown by visitors who appeared inebriated. I’m concerned that another bloody fist fight might breakout on the Pillar Point Bluff Trail as was the case not that long ago when an off leash dog walker got into a physical altercation with visitors and the Sheriff had to intervene. Governor Newsom’s decision to close State Parks was wise; please follow his lead. I urge you to close all County Parks including the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Please take action and close County Parks TODAY before the weekend!
Thank you,

We initially held off on closing the parks given the importance of getting outside and exercising and doing things for the good of one’s mental health. But because of the overwhelming crowds at the parks, people not practicing social distancing, and the shortage of park personnel, we made the call today to close all the County Parks. A public announcement will be going out soon.

Hi Michael, The County Manager has closed all county parks as of today. Regards,- Sue Beckmeyer Pacifica Mayor pro Tem
Foster City Councilman Herb Perez is just one example. He will be removed and replaced April 1, 2020 when the March 3, 2020 Presidential Primary Election results are Certified. San Mateo County Election Official Mark Church has stated the results will be certified by April 1, 2020 even though California Governor Gavin Newsom extended that date to April 22, 2020.
The Real Question here is what did every single elected official in San Mateo County do to remove Herb Perez from office as soon as they became aware of his behavior. Did any one of them contact Herb Perez by phone, letter or e-mail and suggest he apologize, provide the Black Belt to Julia Vo, promise to change his behavior etc or even resign to avoid a successful recall? It would be good for the public to know how many elected officials contacted Herb Perez.
What did they do to protect this child and her mother once they came forward with this video.
RECALL is the only Real Citizen Oversight it’s that simple.
First SMC Elected Official to respond to Article.

I contacted Herb Perez about the way he treated Catherine Mahanpour during the nomination period for mayor pro tem in 2018/19. His response was awful and I wrote him off at that point.
He is full of spit and vinegar.
