Having now been back to work for a week or so, in San Francisco, testing is a huge part of the rise. And we’re not that worried as long as hospitalizations remain steady. We also know of some duplication being reported to the State. We report by County. San Francisco, geographically, is a very, very small county (it’s the only City & County in the State). What ends up happening is we’ll have a testing event at a skilled nursing facility. Some residents will test positive, but it’s mostly staff. Said staff work in San Francisco, but cannot afford to live in San Francisco, so they’ll live in a surrounding county. We’ll report it as an SF case, given where the transmission likely occurred and where the testing happened, but San Mateo County will also report it as the person resides there. It’s a complicated jurisdictional issue. Deaths have been at 45 for a while now, hospitalizations have been minimal - so we’re basically like, whatever. State and National numbers are one thing, but we’re good over here.
