"Because of limited testing capacity, the number of cases detected through testing represents only a small portion of the total number of likely cases in the county."

In the entire county of San Mateo, 13 people have died of Covid-19. What ages were they? And how many people have died in our county from seasonal flu, to which the frail elderly often succumb?
This virus is not the bubonic plague. Most people experience only mild symptoms.
Yet county bureaucrats have now effectively put hundreds of tax-paying residents under House Arrest.
Perhaps we should recall Benjamin Franklin's famous words, "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Regardless of what they deserve, history will attest that they end up with neither.
Food for thought...

What are you saying? A few deaths to get the Dow back up?
How many deaths are within your Food Supply thoughts? What are your parent's thoughts on this attitude?

My son John tested positive for the coronavirus on Monday, March 30. He has been in the psych ward at the VA in Long Beach since last July. Today, 9 days later, he has yet to show symptoms. What's going on here?

This is a great incentive not to be tested unless you are so sick you need to be hospitalized. Also, good luck getting a grocery delivery slot... hope you stocked up when everybody was saying "don't stock up", otherwise you're really hosed.

If you go to the San Mateo County Public Health website, more detail is available on cases and hospitalization.
Same for Santa Clara County Public Health. Both are usually updated daily.
