"content": "\u003cp>Trinity County is a mountainous, remote part of Northern California, and when I visited in 2017 for my \u003ca href=\"https://californiafoodways.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">California Foodways\u003c/a> project, I learned that it’s also one of the state’s most food insecure places. Many people don’t know where their next meal is coming from, even in the best of times. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the spring of 2020, with the state under prolonged shelter-at-home orders because of the coronavirus pandemic, is clearly not the best of times. What's happening now in Trinity County, where so many people are in need? I decided to check in with Jeffry England, whom I got to know during my trip three years ago. He runs the county's \u003ca href=\"http://trinitycountyfoodbank.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">food bank\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11808701,news_11814956\" label=\"The Pandemic: Food Insecurity\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The morning we first met, it was just after sunrise, and Jeffry and three volunteers were almost done packing a couple of trucks. The vehicles were \"loaded to the gills,\" as Jeffry put it, with produce, prepared foods and special boxes for seniors. He cobbles the food together from a web of local, state and federal programs and delivers it once a month to distribution centers scattered throughout the county. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I rode with him in the cab of a 20-year-old truck with a rattling refrigeration unit. He was heading out to the southern part of the county on the longest of his monthly routes: 230 miles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I make my trip, because of all the twisty, turny roads, I kinda have to take it a little bit easy,” he told me. Hitting one of the sharp bends too fast could upend the pallets of food he’d assembled for the 10 1/2-hour drive. Out the windshield I saw vehicles that had fallen off the side of the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I called Jeffry last week, he’d recently made this same run. But this time, he said, he delivered twice as much food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Normally we take two trucks,” he said. “This time we had to use all four of our box trucks and actually got five volunteers to load pallets on the back of their pickup trucks. So we had a convoy of nine trucks going to Hayfork and then beyond.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solid Rock Church in the former logging town of Hayfork is a monthly distribution spot. Because of COVID-19, they’ve now made it a drive-through food bank, borrowing orange cones from Caltrans to create lanes. People pop their trunks or lower their tailgates, and volunteers load them up with food -- bags of non-perishables, frozen foods, produce. I remember coming to this church three years ago, and seeing about 50 people stopping by for food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The last time I was there, there were 113 households, so it was more than double,” Jeffry said. Much more. He says numbers are up all over the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “Fifty-four percent from March to April. And I anticipate even more in June,” he said. And that’s not counting the extra emergency bags he and his team have been preparing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, there have been zero cases of COVID-19 in Trinity County, which has limited medical facilities and a large number of seniors and other vulnerable groups. Despite the county's reliance on visitors who come to stay in hotels and explore the area’s lakes and mountains, officials have urged even those who own second homes there to stay away until the crisis is past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffry was already overworked before the coronavirus, but getting ready for distribution this time, he says, he worked from 14 to 18 hours a day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The one day I took the day off, I had 70 phone calls before noon. I talked to the governor’s office in my pajamas,” he says with a tired laugh. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jeffry England\"]'One thing we're having a real problem with is bags to pack because they have to be sterile. The grocery stores are out of bags. And we just barely made it through this month.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he says the community has stepped up. For instance, a local foundation called to ask what the food bank needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I said, ‘I need a 40-foot cargo container and 10 feet tall, 10 feet wide, that's insulated.’ And it was here in three days,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scores of volunteers have shown up to help, as many as 90 in a week. Jeffrey says the bank has enough food to hand out, but has encountered a problem I never considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One thing we're having a real problem with is bags to pack because they have to be sterile,\" he said. \"The grocery stores are out of bags. And we just barely made it through this month.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trinity County has two main towns — Weaverville, with about 3,500 people, and Hayfork, with about 2,500. Both have grocery stores and a handful of restaurants are open for takeout or delivery. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I know from my 2017 visit just how isolated most of this county is. Back then, I rode along as Jeffry maneuvered around potholes to get to the most remote drop-off point, a tiny town called Zenia, on the border of Humboldt County. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told me about a run a few winters ago, when he defied Caltrans workers and drove a closed, snow-covered road to deliver food to people who’d been stuck there for months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I said, ‘I have to go.’ I slipped, lost traction, gained traction. I just knew they needed the food so I decided to take the chance and I made it,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lauren Turner, who came to the food drop off at the volunteer fire department in Zenia, said she was grateful for efforts like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “It’s not easy up here,” she said. “Usually it’s 100 miles in any direction from here to a large town where you can buy groceries” — more than a two-hour drive, one way, to Eureka or Redding. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffry said that for him, the work is really personal. Many years ago, he struggled with addiction and unemployment. “It just felt so good to be able to go to a place when you’re hungry,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remembers his first meal in a soup kitchen. “It was in a church. It was spaghetti, garlic bread and a salad. and I’m so happy to be able to turn the table and be able to help people that might have been in my shoes before.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that right now, Trinity County is relying on him and his team at the food bank more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Supervisado por administración de pequeños negocios (SBA por sus siglas en inglés) como parte de un conjunto de planes de ayuda, el PPP ofrece ayuda a las pequeñas empresas a retener a los empleados y continuar pagando facturas durante la pandemia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A través del programa, las los dueños de negocios pueden solicitar préstamos de bajo interés respaldados por el gobierno de bancos privados para cubrir hasta dos meses de sus costos mensuales promedio de nómina, más un 25% adicional, con un límite de $10 millones de dólares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El programa probablemente necesitará fondos adicionales en el futuro.

Para las partes del préstamo que no están perdonadas, los pagos se diferirán por seis meses, con una tasa de interés del 1% y un período de vencimiento de dos años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, los términos de este préstamo son bastante complejos, con muchas advertencias y la descripción ofrecida en la parte superior es muy general.

Los contratistas independientes y los trabajadores independientes podrían comenzar a presentar solicitudes el 10 de abril. Los préstamos están disponibles hasta el 30 de junio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosiga con cautela: la iniciativa tuvo un lanzamiento difícil, ya que cientos de miles de solicitudes de empresarios desesperados comenzaron a abarrotar la solicitud. Los bancos se han quejado de no recibir la orientación necesaria de la SBA, y algunos están estableciendo sus propias reglas, como prestar sólo a clientes existentes.

El préstamo puede pagarse en un plazo de hasta 30 años a una tasa de interes del 3.75% para las pequeñas empresas y del 2.75% para las organizaciones sin fines de lucro, sin pago el primer año.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='elcoronavirus' label='Más Información Sobre el Coronavirus']En respuesta a la pandemia, el Congreso también agregó una disposición al programa que ofrece a los negocios un avance inmediato de hasta $10,000 dólares.

El PPP recibió inicialmente $350 mil millones de dólares en fondos del enorme paquete de estímulo de emergencia de $2 billones de dólares que el Congreso aprobó a fines del mes de marzo, pero esos fondos se agotaron rápidamente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lo mejor del programa: gran parte del préstamo puede convertirse en concesión y ser perdonada, si los dueños de negocios mantienen a sus empleados en la nómina durante al menos dos meses después de recibir la financiación y utilizan el 75% de la misma para los costos de la nómina. Para las partes del préstamo que no están perdonadas, los pagos se diferirán por seis meses, con una tasa de interés del 1% y un período de vencimiento de dos años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, los términos de este préstamo son bastante complejos, con muchas advertencias y la descripción ofrecida en la parte superior es muy general. Así que asegúrese de leer cuidadosamente la solicitud. La cámara de comercio de los EE.

Los contratistas independientes y los trabajadores independientes podrían comenzar a presentar solicitudes el 10 de abril. Los préstamos están disponibles hasta el 30 de junio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosiga con cautela: la iniciativa tuvo un lanzamiento difícil, ya que cientos de miles de solicitudes de empresarios desesperados comenzaron a abarrotar la solicitud. Los bancos se han quejado de no recibir la orientación necesaria de la SBA, y algunos están estableciendo sus propias reglas, como prestar sólo a clientes existentes.

And if you’ve been inside one of the 1,362 rooms or 138 suites on the building’s 39 floors, you’ve probably encountered something that has been cleaned by Larrilou Carumba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carumba has worked as a housekeeper at the Marriott Marquis for eight years. She estimates that she’s changed tens of thousands of beds and folded hundreds of thousands of towels. But because of the coronavirus pandemic, she has been without work now for a month and a half — and counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of income has been hard. Carumba is a single mom with three kids. She said she's spent the last two years saving tips and taking on extra shifts to pay off $35,000 in credit card debt from a toxic relationship that she escaped. Carumba was getting close to debt free, she said, until last year, when her landlord raised the rent by $800 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11813762\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11813762 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Larrilou Carumba has been a housekeeper at the Marriott Marquis for eight years, but has been out of work for weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Larrilou Carumba has been a housekeeper at the Marriott Marquis for eight years, but has been out of work for weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Unite Here!

Like many major hotel chains, it has used its profits to buy back its own stocks and enrich investors with dividends. As the world’s largest hotel chain, it has sent the most money back to investors and over the last decade, funneled $16 billion into stock buybacks, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/197859/total-number-of-guestrooms-of-us-hotel-companies-worldwide/\">Statista\u003c/a> and S&P Global Marketing Intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1997, members of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessroundtable.org/\">Business Roundtable\u003c/a>, an association comprising chief executives from major corporations, signed a declaration that said the primary duty of executives was to look out for shareholders — a logic that CEOs had been following for decades. Chicago economist Milton Friedman summed it up with a famous line published in the New York Times in 1970 when he wrote, “The social responsibility of business is to increase its profits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late last summer, however, the Business Roundtable promised a shift in corporate philosophy. \u003ca href=\"https://opportunity.businessroundtable.org/ourcommitment/\">It issued a \u003c/a>pledge signed by 181 CEOs from America's largest companies,\u003ca href=\"https://opportunity.businessroundtable.org/ourcommitment/\"> \u003c/a>saying executives should be concerned not just with shareholder profits but also with workers and the local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each of our stakeholders is essential,” the pledge said in part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson was one of the executives who signed the pledge. Then, in February, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and put his promise to the test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dividends Flow Even During the Pandemic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 19, Sorenson \u003ca href=\"https://marriott.gcs-web.com/events/event-details/business-update\">had a business update call with investors\u003c/a>. Because of the pandemic, Sorenson said the company would not be repurchasing shares and would stop issuing dividends to investors for the time being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sorenson acknowledged that the public was not happy with the idea of companies doing things to enrich shareholders during a public health crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know there is popular sentiment which is strongly against share repurchase and to some extent a crisis like this might fuel that,” Sorenson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, toward the end of the call, Sorenson echoed again the corporate philosophy of looking after its shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cash that we produce, if it is not needed to invest in our business, belongs to our shareholders,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 31, Marriott issued its last dividend payment for the time being. A spokesperson for Marriott said that payment was the result of a stock buyback initiated in February before the pandemic shut down much of the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times like these, however, workers like Carumba say the company should instead be investing in its own workforce, including raising their wages and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Coronavirus resources\" postID=news_11806938,news_11812172,news_11810607]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Profits and Bailouts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While profits in boom times helped enrich shareholders, during the current pandemic, revenue is drying up. Nearly 80% of all hotel rooms are currently empty, according to the American Hotel and Lodging Association. That means executives like Sorenson are looking for ways to get funding so that they can pay down their debts and avoid defaulting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, Sorenson, along with executives from other hospitality and travel companies like Hilton and Hyatt, asked President Trump for $250 billion in federal aid to offset their loss of business. They are lobbying particularly for money that, unlike funds in the Payroll Protection Program, would not have to go to workers, but rather could be spent on things like old construction debt or franchise fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marriott has not yet received bailout money, but labor advocates say if they do, it should go to workers first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ted Waechter, a spokesperson from Unite Here Local 2, the union that represents Carumba and other workers in San Francisco, said he wants hotel chains to stick to the promises they made in August as part of the Business Roundtable. If there was ever a time to uphold the principles of caring about the community and workers, it is during a public health crisis like this, he said, and especially when it comes to the use of federal taxpayer dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Money that is coming from congress as relief for businesses that have been affected by the coronavirus crisis needs to be going to workers first,” Waechter said. “That needs to be the priority right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union successfully negotiated to have Marriott extend health insurance for Bay Area housekeepers like Carumba until the end of August, but the company isn't keeping their workers on payroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waechter said 12,000 of the union’s 14,000 Bay Area members are currently out of a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And if you’ve been inside one of the 1,362 rooms or 138 suites on the building’s 39 floors, you’ve probably encountered something that has been cleaned by Larrilou Carumba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carumba has worked as a housekeeper at the Marriott Marquis for eight years. She estimates that she’s changed tens of thousands of beds and folded hundreds of thousands of towels. But because of the coronavirus pandemic, she has been without work now for a month and a half — and counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of income has been hard. Carumba is a single mom with three kids. She said she's spent the last two years saving tips and taking on extra shifts to pay off $35,000 in credit card debt from a toxic relationship that she escaped. Carumba was getting close to debt free, she said, until last year, when her landlord raised the rent by $800 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11813762\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11813762 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Larrilou Carumba has been a housekeeper at the Marriott Marquis for eight years, but has been out of work for weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-Carumba.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Larrilou Carumba has been a housekeeper at the Marriott Marquis for eight years, but has been out of work for weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Unite Here!

Like many major hotel chains, it has used its profits to buy back its own stocks and enrich investors with dividends. As the world’s largest hotel chain, it has sent the most money back to investors and over the last decade, funneled $16 billion into stock buybacks, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/197859/total-number-of-guestrooms-of-us-hotel-companies-worldwide/\">Statista\u003c/a> and S&P Global Marketing Intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1997, members of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessroundtable.org/\">Business Roundtable\u003c/a>, an association comprising chief executives from major corporations, signed a declaration that said the primary duty of executives was to look out for shareholders — a logic that CEOs had been following for decades. Chicago economist Milton Friedman summed it up with a famous line published in the New York Times in 1970 when he wrote, “The social responsibility of business is to increase its profits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late last summer, however, the Business Roundtable promised a shift in corporate philosophy. \u003ca href=\"https://opportunity.businessroundtable.org/ourcommitment/\">It issued a \u003c/a>pledge signed by 181 CEOs from America's largest companies,\u003ca href=\"https://opportunity.businessroundtable.org/ourcommitment/\"> \u003c/a>saying executives should be concerned not just with shareholder profits but also with workers and the local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each of our stakeholders is essential,” the pledge said in part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson was one of the executives who signed the pledge. Then, in February, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and put his promise to the test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Because of the pandemic, Sorenson said the company would not be repurchasing shares and would stop issuing dividends to investors for the time being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sorenson acknowledged that the public was not happy with the idea of companies doing things to enrich shareholders during a public health crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know there is popular sentiment which is strongly against share repurchase and to some extent a crisis like this might fuel that,” Sorenson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, toward the end of the call, Sorenson echoed again the corporate philosophy of looking after its shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cash that we produce, if it is not needed to invest in our business, belongs to our shareholders,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 31, Marriott issued its last dividend payment for the time being. A spokesperson for Marriott said that payment was the result of a stock buyback initiated in February before the pandemic shut down much of the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times like these, however, workers like Carumba say the company should instead be investing in its own workforce, including raising their wages and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That means executives like Sorenson are looking for ways to get funding so that they can pay down their debts and avoid defaulting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, Sorenson, along with executives from other hospitality and travel companies like Hilton and Hyatt, asked President Trump for $250 billion in federal aid to offset their loss of business. They are lobbying particularly for money that, unlike funds in the Payroll Protection Program, would not have to go to workers, but rather could be spent on things like old construction debt or franchise fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marriott has not yet received bailout money, but labor advocates say if they do, it should go to workers first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ted Waechter, a spokesperson from Unite Here Local 2, the union that represents Carumba and other workers in San Francisco, said he wants hotel chains to stick to the promises they made in August as part of the Business Roundtable. If there was ever a time to uphold the principles of caring about the community and workers, it is during a public health crisis like this, he said, and especially when it comes to the use of federal taxpayer dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Money that is coming from congress as relief for businesses that have been affected by the coronavirus crisis needs to be going to workers first,” Waechter said. “That needs to be the priority right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union successfully negotiated to have Marriott extend health insurance for Bay Area housekeepers like Carumba until the end of August, but the company isn't keeping their workers on payroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waechter said 12,000 of the union’s 14,000 Bay Area members are currently out of a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The $484 billion relief package includes more than $300 billion to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, which was depleted in less than two weeks by small businesses seeking forgivable loans to retain or rehire workers during the pandemic. The federal aid will also provide $25 billion to ramp up nationwide testing for the coronavirus and $75 billion for beleaguered hospitals on the frontlines of fighting the pandemic.

On Thursday, they wrapped up testing the entire population of Bolinas, the small coastal town in western Marin county. Not only did they look to see who is actively infected, they also took blood samples to screen for antibodies to the coronavirus. Antibody testing helps scientists understand how widely an illness has spread through a community, even if some who’ve been infected don’t show any symptoms. This weekend, they’ll kick off the next phase of the study to sample more than 5,000 residents in San Francisco’s Mission district. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Bryan Greenhouse, associate professor of medicine, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Luis Obispo’s Push to Reopen Its Economy\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a bipartisan group of officials from San Luis Obispo County wrote to Gov. Gavin Newsom to ask for permission to pursue “a phased reopening” of the local economy over the next three weeks. The officials pointed to declining infections and hospitalizations from COVID-19 and a recovery rate of more than 80%, according to county officials. The county is expected to release by the end of the week a road map indicating, for example, which businesses could be allowed to open with social distancing and other safeguards in place. Meanwhile, governors across the nation are experiencing pressure to reopen shuttered businesses and relax stay-at-home directives, with crowds of people amassing at state capitols in recent days in defiance of state orders limiting public gatherings.

Como parte de la Ley CARES federal, el nuevo programa de Asistencia de desempleo pandémico (PUA, por sus siglas en inglés) ayuda a los californianos desempleados que generalmente no son elegibles para beneficios estatales regulares de desempleo y están desempleados o no prestan servicios por razones directamente relacionadas con la pandemia COVID-19, incluidos los negocios propietarios.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Visite la \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/about_edd/coronavirus-2019/pandemic-unemployment-assistance-espanol.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">página de Asistencia de desempleo pandémico\u003c/a> para obtener actualizaciones e información sobre la elegibilidad y cuándo presentar la solicitud.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Calificaría para los beneficios si elijo quedarme en casa del trabajo debido a tener condiciones de salud que me ponen en alto riesgo a contraer el virus?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Puede ser elegible para los beneficios si elige quedarse en casa. Una vez que presente su reclamo, el departamento se comunicará con usted si necesita más información.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Calificaría para los beneficios si la escuela de mi hijo se cierra y tengo que faltar al trabajo para cuidar a ese hijo que no está enfermo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Puede ser elegible para beneficios de desempleo. El EDD ha dicho que los representantes determinarán la elegibilidad caso por caso al programar una entrevista telefónica. Por ejemplo, puede ser elegible para beneficios de desempleo si su empleador le ha permitido trabajar menos de tiempo completo para poder cuidar a sus hijos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En tales casos, puede ser elegible para beneficios reducidos basados en el monto de sus ganancias semanales, siempre que cumpla con todos los demás requisitos de elegibilidad. El departamento se comunicará con usted y su empleador para obtener información para determinar si es o no elegible.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo cobrar beneficios si la escuela de mi hijo cierra y tengo que quedarme en casa para cuidar a mi hijo si actualmente no estoy empleado o si tuve que dejar el trabajo debido a mis necesidades de cuidado infantil?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Puede ser elegible para beneficios de desempleo. Un representante del EDD determinará la elegibilidad caso por caso al programar una entrevista telefónica con usted.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Hay beneficios disponibles si mi empleador reduce mis horas o cierra por completo debido a los impactos del coronavirus?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Si su empleador redujo sus horas o cierra por completo debido al COVID-19, le recomendamos que presente un reclamo. El desempleo proporciona un reemplazo parcial del salario a los trabajadores que pierden su trabajo o reducen sus horas, sin culpa propia. Los trabajadores que están desempleados temporalmente debido al COVID-19 y se espera que regresen a trabajar con su empleador en unas pocas semanas no están obligados a buscar trabajo activamente cada semana. Sin embargo, deben permanecer capaces, disponibles y listos para trabajar durante su desempleo por cada semana de beneficios reclamados y cumplir con todos los demás criterios de elegibilidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Cuánto puedo cobrar en beneficios con un reclamo de seguro del desempleo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Las personas elegibles pueden recibir beneficios que van desde $ 40 hasta $450 dólares por semana. Dependiendo de la adjudicación máxima para su reclamo de desempleo y los montos de sus beneficios semanales pagados, el número de semanas que potencialmente puede recibir pagos de beneficios varía de 13 a 26 semanas. Los pagos podrían extenderse a una mayor duración si realiza algún trabajo o si recibe otros ingresos deducibles durante el curso de un reclamo, y recibe beneficios de desempleo reducidos como resultado durante esas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puede usar\u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/ui-calculator-espanol.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> la calculadora del seguro de desempleo\u003c/a> para ayudar a estimar el monto potencial de su beneficio semanal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo seguir recibiendo beneficios de desempleo si puedo trabajar de forma remota desde casa?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Trabajar sus horas normales completas de forma remota no lo calificaría para los beneficios. Sin embargo, podría obtener algunos beneficios si su número habitual de horas de trabajo se reduce sin culpa propia. Los primeros $25 dólares o 25% de su salario, el monto que sea mayor, no se cuentan como salarios ganados y no se deducirán del monto de su beneficio semanal. Por ejemplo, si ganara $100 dólares en una semana, el departamento no contaría $25 dólares como salario y solo reduciría $75 dólares del monto de su beneficio semanal. Para alguien que tiene un monto de beneficio semanal de $450 dólares, se le pagará un monto reducido de $375 dólares.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo cobrar beneficios por discapacidad y desempleo al mismo tiempo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Tiene derecho a solicitar y presentar un reclamo de beneficios por desempleo y discapacidad al mismo tiempo, pero solo puede cobrar pagos bajo un programa de beneficios a la vez. El EDD alienta a las personas a presentar un reclamo bajo un programa en función de sus circunstancias o presentarlo bajo ambos programas si no está seguro de cuál es el más apropiado. El departamento ha dicho que revisarán los hechos y determinarán la elegibilidad para el programa apropiado.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo comenzar a cobrar los beneficios por discapacidad y luego pasar a un reclamo de desempleo si las operaciones de mi lugar de trabajo continúan siendo afectadas por una desaceleración o un cierre?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Si. Si su empleador cierra o reduce las horas de los trabajadores mientras está en su reclamo por discapacidad, puede solicitar beneficios de desempleo en ese momento. El EDD dijo que ayudarán a determinar el inicio de su reclamo de desempleo siempre que cumpla con todos los demás requisitos de elegibilidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo comenzar a cobrar beneficios de desempleo porque me despidieron o me redujeron las horas de trabajo y luego cambiar a un reclamo por discapacidad si me enfermo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Si. Si se enferma mientras está sin trabajo, puede solicitar un reclamo por discapacidad, que puede proporcionar un monto de beneficio más alto si es elegible. Se requiere una certificación médica para corroborar su enfermedad. Si lo aprueban para un reclamo de seguro de incapacidad, su reclamo de desempleo será suspendido. Si se recupera pero permanece desempleado, puede regresar al resto de sus beneficios siempre que permanezca sin trabajo y sea elegible. Deberá volver a presentar una solicitud para reabrir su reclamo de desempleo.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo comenzar a cobrar los beneficios de desempleo porque me despidieron o me redujeron mis horas de trabajo y luego cambiarme a un reclamo de licencia familiar pagada si tengo que cuidar a un familiar que está enfermo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Si. Si tiene un familiar que se enferma mientras está sin trabajo, puede solicitar un reclamo de permiso de familiar pagado que puede proporcionar un monto de beneficio más alto. Se requiere una certificación médica para probar la enfermedad de su familiar. Si lo aprueban para un reclamo de permiso de familiar pagado, se suspenderá su reclamo de seguro de desempleo (UI). Si completa su reclamo de permiso de familiar pagado y permanece desempleado, puede regresar al resto de sus beneficios de desempleo siempre que esté sin trabajo y sea elegible. Deberá volver a presentar una solicitud para reabrir su reclamo de desempleo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Para aquellos que necesitan ayuda inmediata, un grupo de empresas y fundaciones han lanzado \u003ca href=\"https://onwardca.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OnwardCA\u003c/a>, una iniciativa proveer a los residentes de California con servicios esenciales para que puedan volver a trabajar lo antes posible. Aquí puede buscar asistencia alimentaria, refugio, cuidado de niños, además de capacitación y empleos.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Asistencia federal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Trump firmó un proyecto de ley de alivio de coronavirus de $2 billones de dólares el 27 de marzo, que incluye $260 mil millones de dólares para aumentar el programa de seguro de desempleo. El paquete aumenta el beneficio semanal en $600 dólares y amplía la cobertura a cuatro meses. Esto incluye grupos previamente no elegibles, como los que trabajan por cuenta propia, autónomos o trabajan en la economía de socio conductores..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El paquete de estímulo también les da a los ciudadanos estadounidenses un pago de $1,200 dólares, o menos, dependiendo de los ingresos, y potencialmente $500 dólares por cada niño en una familia. Los pagos de depósito directo comenzaron a enviarse a algunos estadounidenses a mediados de abril, y el IRS\u003ca href=\"https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof-wmsp/notice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> lanzó una herramienta en línea en Inglés\u003c/a> donde puede verificar el estado de su cheque de estímulo. Este estímulo no beneficia a aquellas personas sin un número de seguro social válido, o aquellas en familias de estado de inmigracion mixto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El 18 de marzo, Trump también firmó un proyecto de ley de financiación de emergencia que extenderá los beneficios de desempleo y otorgará a los trabajadores por cuenta propia un crédito fiscal igual a la licencia por enfermedad calificada.

El desempleo proporciona un reemplazo parcial del salario a los trabajadores que pierden su trabajo o reducen sus horas, sin culpa propia. Los trabajadores que están desempleados temporalmente debido al COVID-19 y se espera que regresen a trabajar con su empleador en unas pocas semanas no están obligados a buscar trabajo activamente cada semana. Sin embargo, deben permanecer capaces, disponibles y listos para trabajar durante su desempleo por cada semana de beneficios reclamados y cumplir con todos los demás criterios de elegibilidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Cuánto puedo cobrar en beneficios con un reclamo de seguro del desempleo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Las personas elegibles pueden recibir beneficios que van desde $ 40 hasta $450 dólares por semana. Dependiendo de la adjudicación máxima para su reclamo de desempleo y los montos de sus beneficios semanales pagados, el número de semanas que potencialmente puede recibir pagos de beneficios varía de 13 a 26 semanas. Los pagos podrían extenderse a una mayor duración si realiza algún trabajo o si recibe otros ingresos deducibles durante el curso de un reclamo, y recibe beneficios de desempleo reducidos como resultado durante esas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puede usar\u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/ui-calculator-espanol.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> la calculadora del seguro de desempleo\u003c/a> para ayudar a estimar el monto potencial de su beneficio semanal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo seguir recibiendo beneficios de desempleo si puedo trabajar de forma remota desde casa?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Trabajar sus horas normales completas de forma remota no lo calificaría para los beneficios. Sin embargo, podría obtener algunos beneficios si su número habitual de horas de trabajo se reduce sin culpa propia. Los primeros $25 dólares o 25% de su salario, el monto que sea mayor, no se cuentan como salarios ganados y no se deducirán del monto de su beneficio semanal. Por ejemplo, si ganara $100 dólares en una semana, el departamento no contaría $25 dólares como salario y solo reduciría $75 dólares del monto de su beneficio semanal. Para alguien que tiene un monto de beneficio semanal de $450 dólares, se le pagará un monto reducido de $375 dólares.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo cobrar beneficios por discapacidad y desempleo al mismo tiempo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Tiene derecho a solicitar y presentar un reclamo de beneficios por desempleo y discapacidad al mismo tiempo, pero solo puede cobrar pagos bajo un programa de beneficios a la vez. El EDD alienta a las personas a presentar un reclamo bajo un programa en función de sus circunstancias o presentarlo bajo ambos programas si no está seguro de cuál es el más apropiado. El departamento ha dicho que revisarán los hechos y determinarán la elegibilidad para el programa apropiado.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo comenzar a cobrar los beneficios por discapacidad y luego pasar a un reclamo de desempleo si las operaciones de mi lugar de trabajo continúan siendo afectadas por una desaceleración o un cierre?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Si. Si su empleador cierra o reduce las horas de los trabajadores mientras está en su reclamo por discapacidad, puede solicitar beneficios de desempleo en ese momento. El EDD dijo que ayudarán a determinar el inicio de su reclamo de desempleo siempre que cumpla con todos los demás requisitos de elegibilidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo comenzar a cobrar beneficios de desempleo porque me despidieron o me redujeron las horas de trabajo y luego cambiar a un reclamo por discapacidad si me enfermo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Si. Si se enferma mientras está sin trabajo, puede solicitar un reclamo por discapacidad, que puede proporcionar un monto de beneficio más alto si es elegible. Se requiere una certificación médica para corroborar su enfermedad. Si lo aprueban para un reclamo de seguro de incapacidad, su reclamo de desempleo será suspendido. Si se recupera pero permanece desempleado, puede regresar al resto de sus beneficios siempre que permanezca sin trabajo y sea elegible. Deberá volver a presentar una solicitud para reabrir su reclamo de desempleo.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>¿Puedo comenzar a cobrar los beneficios de desempleo porque me despidieron o me redujeron mis horas de trabajo y luego cambiarme a un reclamo de licencia familiar pagada si tengo que cuidar a un familiar que está enfermo?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Si. Si tiene un familiar que se enferma mientras está sin trabajo, puede solicitar un reclamo de permiso de familiar pagado que puede proporcionar un monto de beneficio más alto. Se requiere una certificación médica para probar la enfermedad de su familiar. Si lo aprueban para un reclamo de permiso de familiar pagado, se suspenderá su reclamo de seguro de desempleo (UI). Si completa su reclamo de permiso de familiar pagado y permanece desempleado, puede regresar al resto de sus beneficios de desempleo siempre que esté sin trabajo y sea elegible. Deberá volver a presentar una solicitud para reabrir su reclamo de desempleo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Para aquellos que necesitan ayuda inmediata, un grupo de empresas y fundaciones han lanzado \u003ca href=\"https://onwardca.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OnwardCA\u003c/a>, una iniciativa proveer a los residentes de California con servicios esenciales para que puedan volver a trabajar lo antes posible.

Esto incluye grupos previamente no elegibles, como los que trabajan por cuenta propia, autónomos o trabajan en la economía de socio conductores..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El paquete de estímulo también les da a los ciudadanos estadounidenses un pago de $1,200 dólares, o menos, dependiendo de los ingresos, y potencialmente $500 dólares por cada niño en una familia.

Marrone received a loan worth $1.7 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pam Marrone, the chief executive, said the company “shouldn't be punished” for what happened with the SEC because it has had clean audits for years now.

She said it has had to take on $40 million in debt and is still digging itself out of the financial hole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don't realize how tough it is to be a small public company like us that's not yet profitable,\" she said. \"We can't just go to investors and say, ‘OK, open up your wallets.' “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP analysis found that about 1 in 4 of the companies, in fact, had warned investors months ago that they or their auditors had significant doubts about their ability to remain viable and meet their financial obligations despite the booming economy at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One was Helius Medical Technologies, a company located near Philadelphia that develops technology to help injured brains heal themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has 19 employees and received a $323,000 loan amid a tough stretch. Its most recent annual report warned, “We may be unable to continue to operate without the threat of liquidation for the foreseeable future” and did not expect to have enough cash to go beyond May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, President and CEO Phil Deschamps said the company was able to raise enough capital earlier this year that, when paired with the loan, it can survive to early summer — when it expects to have filed for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for its device. Without the federal money, he said, the company would have lost scientists and attorneys who help prepare regulatory submissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deschamps said his company followed the same rules and applied like any other, and that its device could help thousands of people in the future. But he also understands why some people might question giving money to publicly traded firms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we didn’t qualify for whatever reason, we would have walked away and figured out another way to do it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another company that was facing financial doubts before the virus was Enservco Corp., a Denver-based oil and gas firm. In its annual report filed last month, the company said: “We do not generate adequate revenue to fund our current operations, and we incurred significant net operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CEO Ian Dickinson said in an interview that the $1.9 million loan his company received was welcome because he would’ve had to let go more employees than he has without it. Enservco currently has 95 employees, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dickinson said he did not believe concerns about how long the company could survive were raised in the application process with its bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, our employees are really no different than the employees of a nonpublic company,” Dickinson said. “These are funds being used to keep folks on payroll and keep food on their tables.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That big companies and ones with questionable records received such precious financial aid during the chaotic last few weeks frustrates Zachary Davis, a Santa Cruz, California, businessman who runs two artisanal ice cream shops, a beachside cafe and a taco bar with partner Kendra Baker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before a shelter-in-place order in mid-March, the two were expecting their best year to date and were on track to pay off in May the $250,000 loan from the federal government that they used 10 years ago to open their original shop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were feeling pretty good about where we were in the world. Now it’s just all turned upside down,” said Davis, who had to lay off 70 workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis says they were recently able to obtain a different $10,000 disaster loan from the federal government to pay off vendors, but he says that it “evaporated within seconds.” Davis and Baker submitted a Paycheck Protection Program application with supporting documents on April 2 but are still waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Competing against businesses with hundreds of millions a year in revenue and teams of accountants and lawyers is tough, Davis said, “and if you’re a little guy, chances are you’re going to the back of the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

She said it has had to take on $40 million in debt and is still digging itself out of the financial hole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don't realize how tough it is to be a small public company like us that's not yet profitable,\" she said. \"We can't just go to investors and say, ‘OK, open up your wallets.' “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP analysis found that about 1 in 4 of the companies, in fact, had warned investors months ago that they or their auditors had significant doubts about their ability to remain viable and meet their financial obligations despite the booming economy at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One was Helius Medical Technologies, a company located near Philadelphia that develops technology to help injured brains heal themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has 19 employees and received a $323,000 loan amid a tough stretch. Its most recent annual report warned, “We may be unable to continue to operate without the threat of liquidation for the foreseeable future” and did not expect to have enough cash to go beyond May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, President and CEO Phil Deschamps said the company was able to raise enough capital earlier this year that, when paired with the loan, it can survive to early summer — when it expects to have filed for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for its device. Without the federal money, he said, the company would have lost scientists and attorneys who help prepare regulatory submissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deschamps said his company followed the same rules and applied like any other, and that its device could help thousands of people in the future. But he also understands why some people might question giving money to publicly traded firms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we didn’t qualify for whatever reason, we would have walked away and figured out another way to do it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another company that was facing financial doubts before the virus was Enservco Corp., a Denver-based oil and gas firm. In its annual report filed last month, the company said: “We do not generate adequate revenue to fund our current operations, and we incurred significant net operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Enservco currently has 95 employees, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dickinson said he did not believe concerns about how long the company could survive were raised in the application process with its bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, our employees are really no different than the employees of a nonpublic company,” Dickinson said. “These are funds being used to keep folks on payroll and keep food on their tables.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That big companies and ones with questionable records received such precious financial aid during the chaotic last few weeks frustrates Zachary Davis, a Santa Cruz, California, businessman who runs two artisanal ice cream shops, a beachside cafe and a taco bar with partner Kendra Baker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before a shelter-in-place order in mid-March, the two were expecting their best year to date and were on track to pay off in May the $250,000 loan from the federal government that they used 10 years ago to open their original shop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were feeling pretty good about where we were in the world. Now it’s just all turned upside down,” said Davis, who had to lay off 70 workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis says they were recently able to obtain a different $10,000 disaster loan from the federal government to pay off vendors, but he says that it “evaporated within seconds.” Davis and Baker submitted a Paycheck Protection Program application with supporting documents on April 2 but are still waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Competing against businesses with hundreds of millions a year in revenue and teams of accountants and lawyers is tough, Davis said, “and if you’re a little guy, chances are you’re going to the back of the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some of the people didn’t take issue with the initial order to shelter in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the restrictions easing the burden on the health care system, they are skeptical as to whether California should remain in complete shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the interviews, one point of doubt comes from the comparison of deaths from the flu, heart disease and cancer. Are they any deadlier than the new virus?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From a numbers standpoint, cancer and heart disease together kills close to 1 million U.S. adults per year, making the country’s coronavirus deaths, a little over 40,000, so far, look small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s the uncertainty of COVID-19, experts say, that makes these comparisons not exactly appropriate. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, \u003ca href=\"https://www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">addressed this in a January press conference\u003c/a>, saying that the year-to-year deaths from the flu, for example, can be predicted, whereas calculations for COVID-19 deaths are harder to determine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And COVID-19 \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has already killed more people\u003c/a> than the U.S. 2018-19 flu season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Thomas and others say that with the health care systems stabilized, more weight needs to be given to the economic hardship and desperation a complete shutdown is creating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t just continue to keep closing things up and disrupting people’s lives where [COVID-19] is not affecting people like myself physically,” said Thomas. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag='covid-19' label='More Coronavirus Coverage']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas rents a small, 139-square-foot office space for her salon, and she is the only employee.

Has this actually happened in California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manav Dutta, who also helps run “Californians Against Excessive Quarantine,” was taking precautions in response to the growing coronavirus threat. He maintained social distance and washed his hands regularly. But on March 19, the governor enacted a shelter-in-place order. Then, municipalities across the state started shutting down parks and beaches. And like Thomas, Dutta is concerned that these measures don’t take into account the need for people to make money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dutta, a software engineer at the Georgia-based Movius, said that fears over the country’s health care system being overrun are “unfounded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s partially right. As the COVID-19 threat started to grow in March, hospitals started canceling elective surgeries to free up beds for a potential surge.

That left UCSF Medical Center \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1962104/thousands-of-bay-area-patients-wait-for-surgery-while-hospitals-brace-for-coronavirus-surge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">with hundreds of unused beds not filled by coronavirus patients\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the Navy hospital ship docked in Los Angeles \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/navy-hospital-ship-los-angeles-scale-back-mission-70174804\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">may scale back its operations\u003c/a> since hospitals in the region are stable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t mean a surge won’t still happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference in the beginning of April, Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/california/articles/2020-04-06/california-governor-sticking-with-mid-may-as-covid-19-peak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said the state should expect to see a hospital surge\u003c/a> in mid-May. And a recent study by the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and Kaiser Permanente found that COVID-19 patients who stay in the hospital for the long term \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/04/17/california-hospitals-warned-to-brace-for-surge-if-social-distancing-measures-lifted/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">could overwhelm the state’s health care infrastructure\u003c/a>, especially if shelter-in-place orders are prematurely lifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dutta hopes that if there are to be more protests in California, it is done in a “cordial” manner and without the more “concerning” elements of the Michigan protest, like people getting out of their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference yesterday about homelessness and COVID-19, Newsom said that if people are to protest the shelter-in-place order, they should do so “safely” and make sure they’re “not infecting others,” since the virus has “doesn’t know political ideologies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Newsom also provided a staunch warning about the state of COVID-19 in California, and the fact that 87 people had died the night before from the virus, the highest the state has seen since the pandemic started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
