[San Francisco] Bay Area an 'emerging hot spot' for COVID as delta cases jump
SF Chronicle ^ | 7/9/21

Posted on 07/10/2021 1:54:46 PM PDT by Tipllub

The delta variant is driving up coronavirus cases in California, landing the Bay Area on a federal “hot spot” watch list and spurring renewed urgency to get shots into the arms of people who haven’t been vaccinated, even in areas where immunization rates are already high.

In San Francisco, public health officials are now requiring all workers at hospitals, nursing homes, jails and shelters to be vaccinated by Sept. 15. That’s a shift from an earlier order that mandated vaccination only after at least one vaccine was fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which now allows the shots under emergency authorization. Stanford Medicine announced a similar policy shift Friday.

The moves come as cases have more than doubled in parts of the state, including Alameda and Los Angeles counties, and several large outbreaks have been linked to the highly infectious delta variant. Sonoma County on Friday reported worrying signs of a surge in cases and hospitalizations, plus five COVID-19 deaths last week, the most since February. A Santa Rosa homeless shelter was closed after reporting a few positive cases July 2 — since then, about a third of its 150 residents have tested positive, most with confirmed delta cases. Few of the residents were vaccinated.

Although San Francisco already has among the highest vaccination rates in California, Philip said virtually everyone must be inoculated in congregate settings or in places that house many high-risk people. At Laguna Honda, the city’s largest skilled nursing home with about 720 residents, 86% of staffers are fully vaccinated.

Couldn’t have anything to do with a demographic prone to having weakened immune systems, could it?

Does that go along with all the homosexualizing, and the nakedness, and the defecating in the streets?

The world has had more than a year to build healthcare facilities and train caregivers to deal with any “surge” of the China Virus.

If there is any nation which has not, it can only be concluded that the government there wants these lockdowns to continue for its own (most likely nefarious) purposes.

Obviously, the Liberals in San Francisco are ignoring the mask rules and refusing to get vaccinated. Must be a bunch of darn Trump Supporters!!!!

San Francisco is a hotspot for anything evil on this planet. If they don’t have it yet, they will try hard to get it.

Chinatown might grow out of that one little area to a really large place.

Used to be a good-looking place from the old photos and movies I’ve seen. Never been there and no desire to go.

Nancy among others are in debt big time to the Chinese .... and of course pappy Francis did bend his knee to the 'communists' Chinese ...

SFO would go a long way to balancing the ledgers with the Chinese communists.

From there, plenty of room to expand the foothold.

Thanks nan.

And how many illegals have been sent into or went on their own into California? Could there be a link? Questions which are not raised.

Funny, the homeless population keeps growing. So if you are afraid of this flu like virus, perhaps you should leave your home and live on the streets.

Just curious if they are naming these variants after the Greek alphabet or phonetic alphabet? As rampant as the variants are being claimed we will be in the double alpha by midnight tonight. Quicker if we use the Greek alphabet because it only has 24 letters.
