The most challenging phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Bay Area just got even more difficult. While itâs unclear just how many variant cases make up the countyâs more than 34,000 cases to date, San Mateo County Health officials say theyâre confident the mutations sweeping the Bay Area are here.
âOur public health team expects that these variants are in San Mateo County just as they are in the other parts of the Bay Area and across the state,â Deputy Health Chief Srija Srinivasan said at last weekâs press briefing. âWe remain in a period of widespread transmission.â

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) After California s statewide stay-at-home order was lifted on Monday, nurses, medical professionals, and some lawmakers are questioning the decision, saying it s coming too early. The pandemic is still here, it is still real, we have a lot of patients that are very very sick! said Zenei Triunfo-Cortez, a registered nurse at Kaiser Permanente in South San Francisco, who is president of the California Nurses Association. She is calling the decision to lift the stay-at-home order premature. I have been a nurse for 40 years and I have never seen so many patients die in my career, says Triunfo-Cortez, whose thoughts are even echoed by some democratic lawmakers like State Senator Steven Glazer.
California Hospital Says Arkansas BCBS Breached Implied-in-Fact Contract, Owes Over $100K
January 25, 2021 On Friday in the Northern District of California, Stanford Health Care filed a complaint against Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and other unknown defendants, alleging that Arkansas BCBS failed to pay Stanford Hospital a bill of more than $100,000 and thus has breached an implied-in-fact contract.
Pursuant to a written contract between Stanford Hospital and Anthem Blue Cross, according to the plaintiff, Stanford Hospital “agreed to render medically necessary care to individual enrollees of Anthem Blue Cross health plans, including out-of-state affiliates of Anthem Blue Cross,” like Arkansas BCBS. The contract also gave the affiliates access to “discounted rates” in exchange for reimbursement of the medically necessary services, the complaint said.
Infectious disease experts from Stanford Health Care, Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins University recently told Fox News there is little to no evidence on the issue.
Neysa Ernst from Johns Hopkins University, where she serves as nurse manager of the Biocontainment Unit, agreed, though she proposed that anecdotal evidence suggests additional layers could offer psychological safety to some. In this pandemic psychological safety is important, it provides a sense of control in an unknown environment, Ernst wrote.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), masks should have two layers of breathable fabric, with a snug fit covering the nose and mouth.
