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.
