nice article today in the Merc on Dr. Sara Cody and the history of the County's response to the virus. Interesting tidbit: 

Back in the early 2000s, with the country on edge after 9/11, Cody, Smith and Fenstersheib led the health department’s effort to build Santa Clara County’s model for a massive, coordinated emergency response to a bioterrorism attack or pandemic that included social distancing, shutting schools and the most extreme, mandating that people stay home. It’s the one they would turn to this month to slow the untraceable path of this new disease known as COVID-19"

This may be in part why she led and coordinated the Bay Area's response.
