"bio": "\u003ca href=\"http://www.MarkFiore.com\">MarkFiore.com\u003c/a> | \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/markfiore\">Follow on Twitter\u003c/a> | \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mark-Fiore-Animated-Political-Cartoons/94451707396?ref=bookmarks\">Facebook\u003c/a> | \u003ca href=\"mailto:mark@markfiore.com\">email\u003c/a>\r\n\r\nPulitzer Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The running tally of infections at the county-run complex actually surpasses those at all but two state prisons in California. But unlike the state’s careful tracking and reporting of cases at prisons and nursing homes, data on COVID-19 infections in county jails have not been consistently collected or made readily available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the hundreds of thousands of people who pass through jails in California each year could be a vector for spreading the virus, each of the state’s 58 counties run their facilities independently, with varying approaches to tracking or reporting COVID-19 infections among inmates and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say the lack of transparency around the COVID-19 outbreak in Fresno and other county-run jails obscures a serious public health risk not only for inmates and staff but also for the people in their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Fresno County Jail Outbreak\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The outbreak at the Fresno County Jail was discovered in mid-June, not by the sheriff’s office, but by state prison officials who were screening a group of inmates being transferred to Wasco State Prison near Bakersfield and found 13 who tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that, Fresno County jail officials began widespread testing of inmates in two of the downtown Fresno jail’s three buildings, and the case count there exploded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since June, at least 1,115 inmates and 76 employees have tested positive, according to an Aug. 25 email from Fresno County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Tony Botti. Of those, 21 inmates were at one time hospitalized. The agency has reported no deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Aug. 25, 111 inmates were in quarantine, down from a peak of 901 earlier in the summer. However, the department has been unable to say how many of those were considered active cases at any given time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t have a breakdown of how many are still … potentially infectious.

Brian Goldstein, Director of Policy with the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice says it’s the wrong decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians should be outraged,” Goldstein said. “The Board of State and Community Corrections remains willfully ignorant of conditions within jails and juvenile facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU’s Guneratne agreed. “It does not give us a very full picture of what is happening at the county levels to address the risk of contagion,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month after the dashboard’s launch, three counties — Amador, Sacramento, and Tehama — have yet to contribute to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Fresno County Ramps Up Testing\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said her department’s response to the outbreak has been limited by space and the number of individual cells available for isolating inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some jails have the ability to isolate inmates and quarantine them before they’re put into the general population. We don’t have that ability,” Mims said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno County’s jail has employed a system that quarantines groups of inmates together by color code — yellow for those with symptoms, orange for those known to have been exposed and red for those who tested positive — and then allows people to join the general population after 10 days of quarantine and three days of no symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The virtual convention featured not only impassioned speeches from Democratic heavyweights such as Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren, but also endorsements of Joe Biden by Republicans like former Ohio governor John Kasich and Colin Powell. A diverse group of Americans also gave personal testimonials of the impact that President Trump’s policies have had on them and their families.

Meanwhile, President Trump held rallies in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Minnesota on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, followed by rallies in Arizona and Pennsylvania where he denounced Biden, accusing him of wanting to raise taxes, weaken border security and “kill the stock market.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, politics and government reporter, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lanhee Chen, fellow, Hoover Institution \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On Anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote, New Challenges Loom\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week marked the 100-year anniversary of women’s right to vote and they’ve used it in increasing numbers.

And despite a record number of women in Congress today, along with the selection of California senator Kamala Harris on a history-making presidential ticket, women still face daunting challenges to winning elected office or even casting a ballot in some states that have imposed restrictions on voting, from stringent voter ID laws to closing polling places.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>On May 30, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) transferred Alan Beisel — along with 120 other men — from the California Institution for Men in Chino to San Quentin State Prison. This transfer has been criticized for sparking the massive coronavirus outbreak at San Quentin, resulting in \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/population-status-tracking/\">more than 2,000 people sickened and 25 deaths\u003c/a>, as of Aug. 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beisel, 74, was considered high risk due to his age and underlying health conditions. About a month after being transferred to the Marin County facility, Beisel was moved to a UCSF hospital for COVID-19 treatment. His daughter, D’Wanda Schwarz, said once he was transferred to UCSF, she was only provided with one virtual visitation of her father — at the beginning of July. She says this was despite having the appropriate authorization from CDCR to speak with her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About one month later, on Aug. 6, Beisel died from complications due to the coronavirus at a different hospital, Seton Medical Center in Daly City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Schwarz is accusing UCSF of discrimination. She says her father was denied contact with her there, even though CDCR authorized it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The First Call\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his initial transfer to UCSF, Schwarz was able to speak with her father via Zoom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The communication was really good at this point,” Schwarz said. She asked about her visitation options and was told that UCSF was providing Zoom visits because in-person visits were prohibited due to COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to CDCR and UCSF policy, incarcerated patients who wish to have Zoom visitations must have authorization from CDCR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11833231\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11833231\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_young-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_young-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_young-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_young-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/1920_young.jpg 1381w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alan Beisel was transferred from the California Institution for Men in Chino to San Quentin State Prison. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of D'Wanda Schwarz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Schwarz said her father’s first doctor went out of his way to connect with the correct personnel at San Quentin to receive authorization for her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had my first Zoom visit with my father — first and last visit with my father at UCSF — at midnight on that Saturday, July 4, or morning of July 5,” Schwarz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that Sunday, her father’s kidneys began to fail, so doctors placed him on dialysis. When he got out of the procedure, Schwarz said he was transferred to another ICU unit. That’s when things changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The staff immediately let me know that they were no longer going to be providing me with any of his updates, and nor would I be able to access any Zoom visits,” Schwarz explained. “Of course, I was very confused.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She spent the following Monday calling San Quentin, in an attempt to get answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes it would just ring and nobody would answer, or sometimes somebody would answer and then transfer me to a voicemail, or sometimes it would transfer me to a recording that this was not a mailbox that would receive voicemails,” Schwarz said. The process was exhausting, but she persisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"D'Wanda Schwarz\"]‘Sometimes it would just ring and nobody would answer, or sometimes somebody would answer and then transfer me to a voicemail, or sometimes it would transfer me to a recording that this was not a mailbox that would receive voicemails.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the day, Schwarz said she received a call from a lieutenant at San Quentin. He told her he had given UCSF the authorization for her to speak with her father, but UCSF was “denying the authorization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Schwarz, the lieutenant said he also contacted the warden, who gave UCSF authorization for Schwarz to receive both updates of her father and video visitations with him. But, she says, UCSF also denied the warden’s authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSF maintains they work with CDCR to receive authorization. “Given the need to protect our patient’s privacy, we are not able to publicly discuss extenuating issues regarding patients and their families,” the hospital said in a statement, calling this case “exceptional.” The statement also included that they stand behind the policy, “which is aligned with the CDCR policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwarz continued to write letters, make calls — sometimes spending all day on the phone — trying to get in touch with her father or, at the very least, get an update of his condition.

In this case, that would be San Quentin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frustrated, Schwarz added San Quentin Chief Medical Executive Dr. Elaine Tootell to the call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tootell asked the same question Schwarz had posed: “How do you make decisions for the patient?” Based on the recording, the UCSF representative said the decisions were “made by San Quentin, in this particular case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tootell, who’s been in her position for more than a decade, said, “Never will we ever make a decision for a patient, they have autonomy. And we’re not allowed to.” She added that “in every case, we always get the surrogate decision maker and we discuss with our incapacitated patients … and we always ask the family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tootell also said they’ve been asking for updates on Schwarz’s father every day but had yet to receive any from UCSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conference call ended with UCSF and Tootell agreeing to reconnect on their own to discuss matters. But the UCSF representative told Schwarz specifically not to reach out, saying UCSF officials “will not speak to you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Securing Approval from San Quentin\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSF resident Anjali Jacob was working in the ICU at the same time that Beisel was a patient there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said navigating the authorization process for other patients was difficult, and she was continually referred to different people within CDCR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"UCSF resident Anjali Jacob \"]‘It makes no sense that there are guards there, and it makes complete sense that these people should have Zoom visits.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacob said she couldn’t understand why CDCR wouldn’t just require outside hospitals to provide Zoom visitations, especially when the state agency would go to great lengths to monitor incarcerated patients — referring to the handcuffs used to shackle inmates to their beds and the number of guards overcrowding the ICU unit, two per patient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes no sense that there are guards there, and it makes complete sense that these people should have Zoom visits,” she said. “Why is one thing so heavily enforced? And one thing is just, there are no consequences if we don’t do it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/hippocratic-oath-today/\">the Hippocratic Oath\u003c/a>, doctors swear to treat all patients equally in care, but the handcuffs and the guards create a culture of fear in hospitals against incarcerated patients and their families, Jacob said, which can potentially lead to unequal treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re essentially asked to see them as dangerous,” Jacob said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their guards are watching their every move, even when they’re clearly very sick,” Jacob explained. “We’re told that we can’t tell them or their families when their discharge date will be for fear that they’ll plot an escape attempt. These are all things that are required by law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Jacob said there’s no medical evidence to prove that Zoom calls aid in the recovery process, she said virtual visits are “especially meaningful” for families during the pandemic. Many “want to spend as much time as possible with their loved one in case this hospitalization does represent the end of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether CDCR fights for incarcerated patients to have video visitations, CDCR said they couldn’t comment on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11833232\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11833232\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-800x1191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1191\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-800x1191.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-1020x1519.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-160x238.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-1032x1536.jpg 1032w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alan Beisel died Thursday, Aug. 6. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of D'Wanda Schwarz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Last Transfer — Seton Medical Center\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around mid-July, Schwarz was able to get her father transferred to Seton Medical Center, where she was able to communicate with him through Zoom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Schwarz, doctors said her father was “incoherent and nonresponsive” during the 17 days he was intubated, but when he heard her voice through their first call at Seton, she said he opened his eyes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He blinked when I asked him to blink,” Schwartz said. “And when I had to tell him goodbye, he moved his lips as though he were trying to speak to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During her father’s time at Seton, Schwarz learned his body had become dependent on the machines, and when she asked him if he wanted to remain on them he shook his head no. “I asked him if he understood that meant he would not survive,” she said. “He shook his head yes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father, Alan Beisel, died Thursday, Aug. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
