"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",

Después de varias semanas de tratar de mantener su local abierto solo para servicio de comida para llevar, tomó la difícil decisión durante el fin de semana de cerrar temporalmente y descansar a sus empleados por lo menos un mes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Las ventas bajaron dramáticamente\", dijo Savell, señalando que su seguro no cubre ningún tipo de desastre como este. \"Todo se redujo a: ¿vale la pena permanecer abierto o será mejor cerrar y dejar que los empleados reciban el seguro de desempleo?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero incluso más allá de esa realidad financiera, dijo, gran parte de la decisión de cerrar tuvo que ver con la preocupación de salud y salubridad tanto para sus empleados como para sus clientes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Es la naturaleza del servicio de alimentos: hay que acercarse a las personas\", dijo Savell. \"No es algo que creo que podamos manejar adecuadamente. Hace un mes la preocupación era de darles pollo seco a los clientes, y ahora es, ¿estamos causando que alguien se enferme y posiblemente fallezca?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al igual que millones de otros propietarios de pequeñas negocios, Savell está buscando asistencia financiera temporal del gobierno federal y fuentes locales. Dijo que confía en que podrá reabrir pronto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Volveremos, este no es el final,\" dijo. \"Esto es temporal. Estamos seguros de eso.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, otros dueños de negocios locales son menos optimistas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He escuchado de todo, desde el miedo absoluto hasta las personas que son más realistas e intentan decidir, ¿tiene sentido tratar de permanecer abierto y asumir más deudas o deberíamos de cerrar el negocio para siempre?\" dijo Jeri Boomgaarden, director superior de desarrollo del East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF por sus siglas en inglés), que recientemente inició un fondo de ayuda COVID-19 (este enlace en inglés tiene más información) el cual otorga concesiones financieras a negocios locales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En respuesta a la crisis, los gobiernos federales, estatales y locales, así como un número creciente de instituciones privadas como el EBCF, se han apresurado a establecer programas para ayudar a las pequeñas empresas y organizaciones comunitarias a sobrellevar esta crisis de salud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La siguiente es una lista de algunas, de las líneas de ayuda para los negocios del Área de la Bahía.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#federal\">Asistencia federal\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#CA\">Programas del estado de California\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#local\">Fondos del gobierno local\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#privados\">Fondos privados\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"federal\">\u003c/a>Asistencia federal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sba.gov/page/coronavirus-covid-19-orientacion-y-recursos-de-prestamos-para-pequenas-empresas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>Programa de protección de pago de cheques (PPP por sus siglas en inglés)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El 24 de abril, el presidente Trump firmó un nuevo paquete de ayuda que incluye $321 mil millones de dólares adicionales para el PPP, después de que el programa se quedó sin dinero solo 13 días después de su lanzamiento a principios de abril, dejando a decenas de propietarios de negocios en el limbo. 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. 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. UU. produjo esta \u003ca href=\"https://www.uschamber.com/sites/default/files/023595_comm_corona_virus_smallbiz_loan_final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">útil guía\u003c/a> (en inglés) para aclarar algunos de los detalles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quién es elegible:\u003c/strong> pequeños negocios estadounidenses con hasta 500 empleados, además de algunas organizaciones sin fines de lucro y de veteranos. Los trabajadores independientes, los contratistas independientes y los propietarios autónomos también pueden presentar una solicitud. No se requieren garantías colaterales o personales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El programa comenzó a aceptar solicitudes de pequeños negocios y propietarios autónomos el 3 de abril. 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. Muchos solicitantes también han dicho que se han topado con obstáculos burocráticos o tecnológicos, o que descubrieron que su banco ni siquiera estaba listo para comenzar a aceptar solicitudes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Encuentre un prestamista elegible \u003ca href=\"https://www.sba.gov/asistencia-local\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aquí\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sba.gov/page/coronavirus-covid-19-orientacion-y-recursos-de-prestamos-para-pequenas-empresas#section-header-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>Programa de Préstamos de Desastres por Daños Económicos (y avance de emergencia)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El préstamo de desastre por daños económicos (EIDL por sus siglas en inglés) es un programa antiguo que ofrece préstamos a bajo interés hechos directamente por la SBA (en lugar de por un banco) de hasta $ 2 millones de dólares a pequeños negocios que han sufrido grandes pérdidas relacionadas con un desastre. 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. Es básicamente un tipo de concesión que no tiene que ser reembolsada y está disponible a los pocos días de una solicitud aprobada, según la SBA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quién es elegible:\u003c/strong> cualquier negocio con menos de 500 empleados (incluidas empresas individuales, contratistas independientes y trabajadores independientes), organizaciones privadas sin fines de lucro u organizaciones de veteranos 501 (c) (19) afectadas por COVID-19. El anticipo de $10,000 dólares está disponible para todos los solicitantes aprobados, independientemente de si se les provee un préstamo más grande.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solicite el préstamo por desastre y el anticipo del préstamo a través de \u003ca href=\"https://www.sba.gov/page/disaster-loan-applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">este enlace\u003c/a> en inglés.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenga en cuenta que los fondos para estos dos programas de préstamos federales están disponibles en orden en que se solicita y es probable que los fondos se agoten con bastante rapidez dada la abrumadora demanda. Y eso, dicen algunos legisladores, es probable que perjudique a muchas de las empresas de bajos ingresos que más necesitan ayuda y que pueden no tener acceso a las líneas de crédito existentes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"CA\">\u003c/a>Programas del estado de California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>El gobernador Gavin Newsom anunció el 2 de abril que los pequeños negocios en California tendrán un año adicional para pagar hasta $ 50,000 dólares en impuestos de ventas al estado. La extensión se aplica a las pequeñas empresas con menos de $5 millones de dólares en ventas imponibles, que podrán inscribirse en un plan de pago sin intereses de 12 meses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La semana anterior, Newsom también firmó una orden ejecutiva que extiende el plazo de presentación de impuestos hasta finales de julio para las empresas que presentan declaraciones por menos de un $1 millón de dólares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alentó a las pequeñas empresas afectadas por COVID-19 a solicitar ayuda federal por el desastre de la pandemia, pero dijo que el estado también asignará $50 millones de dólares para préstamos a empresas de California que no califican para recibir ayuda federal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Es una contribución adicional para que el estado ayude a aquellos que de otra manera podrían pasar desapercibidos\", dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puede obtener más información sobre los programas llamando al 1-800-400-7115.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom también presentó \u003ca href=\"https://onwardca.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">una nueva plataforma en línea\u003c/a> para ayudar a conectar a los trabajadore de California afectados con miles de oportunidades laborales en una variedad de industrias.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"local\">\u003c/a>Fondos del gobierno local\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>La mayoría de estos programas de ayuda ofrecen pequeñas concesiones que no necesitan ser reembolsadas y se financian mediante una combinación de ingresos fiscales y donaciones individuales. Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que debido a que la demanda ha sido tal, que algunos fondos se han quedado sin dinero mucho más rápido de lo previsto, como fue el caso de un fondo de ayuda de $11 millones de dólares del condado de Santa Clara que se agotó sólo tres días después de su lanzamiento. Del mismo modo, los fondos de ayuda más pequeños en Oakland y Hayward se agotaron rápidamente y ahora están buscando donaciones adicionales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Préstamos de recuperación de emergencia para pequeños negocios en San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El fondo de $10 millones de dólares encomienda $9 millones a un nuevo fondo de préstamos de emergencia, y $1 millón adicional para expandir el fondo de recuperación para pequeñas empresas COVID-19, que se agotó rápidamente después de su lanzamiento a mediados de marzo. El fondo otorga concesiones de hasta $10,000 dolares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puede solicitar un préstamo \u003ca href=\"https://oewd.org/spanish-covid-19-homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aquí\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fondo de ayuda de la ciudad de Berkeley\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En marzo, el concejo municipal de Berkeley aprobó hasta $3 millones de dólares en subsidios de ayuda de emergencia para pequeñas empresas, organizaciones artísticas sin fines de lucro y ayuda para pagar renta, y ha realizado un esfuerzo de extensión para alentar a la comunidad a ayudar a igualar esa cantidad. El fondo está siendo administrado por la East Bay Community Foundation, que también ofrece concesiones de ayuda por separado a organizaciones locales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solicite el subsidio de emergencia por este \u003ca href=\"https://berkeleyrelieffund.org/apply/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enlace en inglés\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"federal\">\u003c/a>Fondos privados\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Varias fundaciones locales y otros grupos filantrópicos también han lanzado fondos de ayuda para ayudar a negocios por COVID-19.

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!

At the end of February, she finally thought she had enough money to move out of her sister’s place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then the coronavirus hit, and for now, she’s stuck. There are nine of them in the house, including Carumba's 88-year-old mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carumba chips in for rent and utilities, but she said the one-floor bungalow is crowded, especially now with the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want them to feel that they are burdened because of the four of us, but usually we are just hanging in the room,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like tens of thousands of other workers that Marriott furloughed, Carumba is not getting paid by her employer. Instead, she said she’s collecting state unemployment and getting a little help from her kids’ school in the form of milk and PB&J sandwiches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said her kids are sad to be stuck inside all day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I tell them just to pray and just let’s hope this will end soon,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11815063\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11815063\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-800x525.jpeg\" alt=\"Larrilou Carrumba is sharing a house with her sister's family, where she said a total of nine people are living.\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-800x525.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-160x105.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-1020x669.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou-1122x738.jpeg 1122w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Larrilou.jpeg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Larrilou Carrumba is sharing a house with her sister's family, where she said a total of nine people are living. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Larrilou Carrumba)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Corporate Philosophy Focused on Shareholder Profit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carumba’s employer, Marriott International, and its investors have done very well in recent years. 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>",

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. Democrats failed, however, to secure funding to help state governments facing massive shortfalls in tax revenues because of the pandemic.\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\">U.S. Rep.

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. The governors of Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee announced their decisions this week to gradually reopen their economies, including businesses such as gyms, nail salons and barbershops. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham, R-San Luis Obispo\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Draw Together” Art Class Helps Kids and Parents during Crisis\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many parents who are now unexpectedly homeschooling their children are finding it to be a challenge. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To help those parents and their kids, best-selling San Francisco-based illustrator Wendy MacNaughton launched “Draw Together with Wendy Mac” — a free, daily half-hour lesson streaming on Instragram on how to draw everything from race cars to penguins.

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. Democrats failed, however, to secure funding to help state governments facing massive shortfalls in tax revenues because of the pandemic.\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\">U.S. Rep.

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. The governors of Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee announced their decisions this week to gradually reopen their economies, including businesses such as gyms, nail salons and barbershops. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

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.

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.

This includes Quantum Corp., a San Jose-based software company, and Identiv, Inc., a Fremont-based company specializing in electronic security for devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight companies, or their subsidiaries, received the maximum $10 million possible, including Quantum Corp. — which also settled a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation late last year into accounting errors that overstated its revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eight firms getting maximum loans are likely just a tip of the iceberg: Statistics released last week by \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/53954f808f0652463d58728ad64cd5b3\">the U.S. Small Business Administration\u003c/a> showed that 4,400 of the approved loans exceeded $5 million. Overall, the size of the typical loan nationally was $206,000, according to the statistics. The SBA will forgive the loans if companies meet certain benchmarks, such as keeping employees on payroll for eight weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list of recipients identified by the AP is a fraction of the 1.6 million loans that lenders approved before the program was depleted last week, but it is the most complete public accounting to date. Neither the Trump administration nor the lending industry has disclosed a list of Paycheck Protection Program beneficiaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives of the SBA, which is overseeing the program, did not respond to a request for comment late Monday. But last Friday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a written statement that most of the loans, 74%, were for less than $150,000 and that demonstrated “the accessibility of this program to even the smallest of small businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump, asked Monday whether the criteria for who can receive loans should change, said that “we’ll look at individual things and some people will have to return it if we think it’s inappropriate.” He added that the loans are supposed to be awarded, in part, by \"what we think is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the White House referred questions to the SBA and Treasury Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP analysis comes as lawmakers from both political parties negotiate \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/347c3791a921a62cd5c0782ebd6cf2af\">an additional relief package\u003c/a> that in large part would replenish the Paycheck Protection Program with more than $300 billion. Agreement was reached on major elements of the nearly $500 billion aid package for small businesses, including more help for hospitals and virus testing, said Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. He said he thought it would pass Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AP’s review also found examples of companies that had foreign owners and that were delisted from U.S. stock exchanges, or threatened with removal, because of their poor stock performance before the coronavirus caused a downturn.

Weeks earlier, Wave Life Sciences, whose parent company is based in Singapore, disclosed in its annual report net losses of $102 million, $147 million and $194 million during the last three fiscal years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We currently have no products on the market and expect that it may be many years, if ever, before we have a product candidate ready for commercialization,” it wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an emailed statement Monday, the company said: “The livelihood of our U.S. employees and their families would be severely disrupted if they were to lose their jobs or be furloughed. We are doing everything we can to support them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Minnis, who has studied the SBA program as an accounting professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, said he understood the frustrations of smaller businesses that have not received funding when publicly listed companies have. But he said it would be hard to go into the program and change the parameters now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a fundamental trade-off here between speed and targeting this in the absolute best way,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minnis estimates the program might need to dispense $720 billion to meet demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since launching April 3, the relief package has faced criticism about \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/86bd1e6aa3e832452fc4217e3a3b01c3\">slow loan processing\u003c/a>, unclear rules and limited funding that left many mom-and-pop businesses without help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News that the $1.6 billion Shake Shack burger empire had received a maximum $10 million loan, disclosed in a filing Friday, ignited public anger. Company executives said late Sunday they would return the money after finding other sources of capital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By design, the Paycheck Protection Program was meant to get money out quickly to as many small businesses as possible, using a formula based in part on workforce and payroll size. Some of the eligibility criteria was expanded making it possible for some businesses with more than 500 employees to qualify if, for example, they met certain size standards for their industries or other conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owners behind large restaurant chains like Potbelly, Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Taco Cabana were able to qualify and get the maximum $10 million in loans despite employing thousands of workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Quantum Corp. spokesman Bob Wientzen\"]'[Without the loan] we would most certainly be forced to reduce headcount. We owe it to our employees — who’ve stuck with us through a long and difficult turnaround — to do everything we can to save their jobs during this crisis.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some other big companies that received loans appeared to have enough cash on hand to survive the economic downturn. New York City-based Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, for example, a cruise ship and travel company with 650 workers and a branding deal with National Geographic, got a $6.6 million loan. At the end of March, the business reported having about $137 million in cash on its balance sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When this crisis hit, we had two business planning cases: 1) substantial layoffs and furloughs or 2) receiving these funds and not impacting our employees,” spokeswoman Audrey Chang wrote in an email. “Lindblad is the very rare travel company that has not imposed any layoffs, furloughs or salary reductions to date.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five of the companies that the AP identified were previously under investigation by financial and other regulators, including firms that paid penalties to resolve allegations, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quantum Corp., the video data storage company based in San Jose with a workforce of 800, paid a $1 million penalty last December over allegations that accounting errors resulted in overstated revenues. Quantum received a maximum $10 million loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without that loan, “we would most certainly be forced to reduce headcount. We owe it to our employees — who’ve stuck with us through a long and difficult turnaround — to do everything we can to save their jobs during this crisis,” company spokesman Bob Wientzen wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadwind Energy, a suburban Chicago maker of wind turbines that employs about 520, agreed to pay a $1 million penalty five years ago after the SEC accused it of failing to inform investors that reduced business from two major customers had caused “substantial declines” in its long-term financial prospects. Broadwind, which could not be immediately reached, received $9.5 million from the loan program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marrone Bio Innovations, a biopesticide company in Davis, California, that has about 50 workers, similarly agreed to pay $1.8 million in 2016 after the SEC alleged its chief operating officer had inflated financial results to hit projections that it would double revenues during its first year as a public company. 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 described the investigation as a “body blow\" that cost it investors and drove its stock price under $1. 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",

New York City-based Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, for example, a cruise ship and travel company with 650 workers and a branding deal with National Geographic, got a $6.6 million loan. At the end of March, the business reported having about $137 million in cash on its balance sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When this crisis hit, we had two business planning cases: 1) substantial layoffs and furloughs or 2) receiving these funds and not impacting our employees,” spokeswoman Audrey Chang wrote in an email. “Lindblad is the very rare travel company that has not imposed any layoffs, furloughs or salary reductions to date.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five of the companies that the AP identified were previously under investigation by financial and other regulators, including firms that paid penalties to resolve allegations, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quantum Corp., the video data storage company based in San Jose with a workforce of 800, paid a $1 million penalty last December over allegations that accounting errors resulted in overstated revenues. Quantum received a maximum $10 million loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without that loan, “we would most certainly be forced to reduce headcount. We owe it to our employees — who’ve stuck with us through a long and difficult turnaround — to do everything we can to save their jobs during this crisis,” company spokesman Bob Wientzen wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadwind Energy, a suburban Chicago maker of wind turbines that employs about 520, agreed to pay a $1 million penalty five years ago after the SEC accused it of failing to inform investors that reduced business from two major customers had caused “substantial declines” in its long-term financial prospects. Broadwind, which could not be immediately reached, received $9.5 million from the loan program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marrone Bio Innovations, a biopesticide company in Davis, California, that has about 50 workers, similarly agreed to pay $1.8 million in 2016 after the SEC alleged its chief operating officer had inflated financial results to hit projections that it would double revenues during its first year as a public company. 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 described the investigation as a “body blow\" that cost it investors and drove its stock price under $1. 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>",
