Dental services will also be greatly reduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these benefits had just been restored – letters went out to recipients in January that some were now available again – after they were cut in the last economic downturn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We spent a lot of time trying to work our way out of the hole that we dug 10 years ago during the Great Recession,” said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California, an advocacy group. “And we’re looking to repeat the exact same mistakes of making these cuts that have these unintended consequences throughout the health system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also proposing to reroute $1.2 billion raised from the state’s tobacco tax. Instead of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/stateofhealth/339838/is-the-fight-over-tobacco-tax-money-about-helping-patients-or-enriching-doctors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">increasing payments to doctors\u003c/a> and clinics that treat Medi-Cal patients, as the money was intended when it was passed by voters in 2016 as Proposition 56, the state would like to redirect it to fund the growth in general Medi-Cal costs.[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors groups, which spent millions to help pass the tobacco tax, say this cut to reimbursement rates will create more pressure and uncertainty on physician practices at a time when many are already facing big drops in revenue because of canceled surgeries and appointments. Doctors say this could force them to limit the number of Medi-Cal patients they see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This budget will widen the inequality gap between those on public and private insurance at a time when more Californians are struggling, and an additional 2 million low-income Californians will be dependent on Medi-Cal,” said Dr. Peter N.

Undocumented children and young adults will still be eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tens of thousands of older Californians who are blind and disabled and earn between $16,332 and $17,609 per year will not be able to get Medi-Cal coverage, as was originally proposed in the governor’s January draft budget. And a policy that would have prevented the state from taking Medi-Cal beneficiaries’ homes or estates as payment was rescinded, serving as a deterrent for some seniors to sign up, said Health Access’ Anthony Wright.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are cuts to senior care and coverage that are really troubling,” he said, “especially since seniors are the most at risk population in this COVID-19 crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

So we found that during the COVID time, food spending went up, from about a third of all purchases to up to 50%. Spending declined on things like appliances and clothing, etcetera. Folks are really hunkering down and making sure they have the basics to shelter in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs\"]'It's time to really think about a social safety net and understand that we live in a time of pandemics.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What else has struck you about this data?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the biggest question that arises from the data [is] if these 120 individuals who were randomly selected, during this pandemic, what would they be doing if they didn't have that $500? How would they have food? Where would they get food from? That causes me to ask about the 300,000-plus other people in my city, and we're doing everything we can to make sure that folks have access to food in a way that's affordable or free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The experiment is set to sunset in the next couple of months. Has there been talk about extending it out further, given what's going on with the pandemic?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. We've been talking to a couple of folks about extending it further. And hopefully, in the next couple of weeks, we'll have an announcement on that. And we're working overtime to make that happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"resource\" label=\"coronavirus resources\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The first time we talked about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732253/stocktons-guaranteed-income-experiment-why-mayor-tubbs-is-doing-it\">guaranteed income in Stockton was March of 2019\u003c/a>. You've had a lot of time to absorb the results of this experiment, in addition to being really pivotal in spearheading it. It's been striking to see people like Sen. Kamala Harris advocating for a very similar structure during the pandemic. She's calling now for $2,000 a month to go to every American while this goes on. She's a moderate Democrat. Are you surprised to see people like her pushing this idea?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, actually, no. What's interesting about this concept is that it actually has bipartisan support. You have folks like Sen. Romney and others talking about direct cash assistance to folks in this pandemic. There will be a prolonged economic crisis after COVID-19, particularly for the groups who are oftentimes most impacted by downturns in the economy: people of color, women of color, etcetera. So I would argue that $2,000 a month during a pandemic is a great step, but it's time to really think about a social safety net and understand that we live in a time of pandemics. If it's not an illness, there's an earthquake. If it's not an earthquake, there's a fire. These happen yearly, so we need to make sure that folks have the tools they need to build a great foundation. I feel a guaranteed income is an important part of that solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

How would they have food? Where would they get food from? That causes me to ask about the 300,000-plus other people in my city, and we're doing everything we can to make sure that folks have access to food in a way that's affordable or free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The experiment is set to sunset in the next couple of months.

We've been talking to a couple of folks about extending it further. And hopefully, in the next couple of weeks, we'll have an announcement on that.

You've had a lot of time to absorb the results of this experiment, in addition to being really pivotal in spearheading it. It's been striking to see people like Sen. Kamala Harris advocating for a very similar structure during the pandemic. She's calling now for $2,000 a month to go to every American while this goes on. She's a moderate Democrat. Are you surprised to see people like her pushing this idea?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, actually, no. What's interesting about this concept is that it actually has bipartisan support. You have folks like Sen. Romney and others talking about direct cash assistance to folks in this pandemic. There will be a prolonged economic crisis after COVID-19, particularly for the groups who are oftentimes most impacted by downturns in the economy: people of color, women of color, etcetera. So I would argue that $2,000 a month during a pandemic is a great step, but it's time to really think about a social safety net and understand that we live in a time of pandemics. If it's not an illness, there's an earthquake. If it's not an earthquake, there's a fire. These happen yearly, so we need to make sure that folks have the tools they need to build a great foundation. I feel a guaranteed income is an important part of that solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Gavin Newsom now has yet another ticked-off challenger to face in court: an extremely disappointed bride-to-be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the latest filing to challenge the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Monica Six, an Orange County resident, is suing California’s Democratic governor for civil rights violations after his executive order “caused her significant financial hardship as well as ruined her idyllic wedding plans to get married in a special anniversary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In suing the state, Six is in crowded company. The state of California, and Newsom in particular, are facing down more than a dozen lawsuits over their response to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ca href=\"#tracker\">Find details on all of them in the tracker below\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courtroom backlash is no surprise. The restrictions that the governor’s March 19 stay-at-home order have imposed on California civic and economic life are without precedent in state history. Many public health experts, both inside and outside the administration, say such drastic measures are necessary to tamp down the coronavirus pandemic and keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But drastic measures they are. Beyond canceled weddings, it has spelled financial calamity for households, business owners, nonprofits and city governments across the state. They have also tested the limits of executive power and the negotiability of many constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the lawsuits against Newsom challenge the broad restrictions imposed by the shelter-in-place orders.

She’s a contributor to Fox News and a frequent guest on that network’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” and the “Ingraham Angle,” whose host, Laura Ingraham, Dhillon has cited as a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/03/19/problematic-women-ladies-know-your-first-amendment-rights/\">long-time mentor\u003c/a>.” At the Conservative Political Action Conference last year, Dhillon earned what might be the most coveted of all endorsements on the American right: “She’s a great lawyer,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4783817/user-clip-donald-trump-hayden-williams-cpac-speech&fbclid=IwAR3JAUiQUeswjWY2e9tuV8-ruobH2fb6lz4BbBoqz274XayhQAwVgaelkzc\">President Trump said to Hayden Williams\u003c/a>, a conservative activist who was physically assaulted on UC Berkeley’s campus. “Sue the college, the university, and maybe sue the state.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hasn’t. “Not yet,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born in India, Dhillon grew up in North Carolina before going to Dartmouth College where, like many members of the American right’s intelligentsia, she edited the Dartmouth Review. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After going to the University of Virginia law school and working at various firms in New York and London, she opened her own office in San Francisco in 2006. Though her views have skewed right all her life, with a practice in the Bay Area, she has not always seamlessly fit in with the rest of her party. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the one, there’s the fact that she is a Sikh woman of color in a party dominated by white men. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the height of the War on Terror, she sat on the board of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Northern California chapter, to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/politics/joegarofoli/article/S-F-GOP-leader-slammed-by-Republicans-4254447.php\">chagrin of some GOP stalwarts\u003c/a>.

Dhillon said her office has been inundated with requests from potential clients. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have some quality control.

We don’t just crank these out like sausages, even if it seems that way.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the cases brought by Dhillon are paid for by a nonprofit she founded, the Center for American Liberty. Dhillon said her law office is one of many hired by the center and that her office in turn works with other clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for the center, which pays for her office’s legal services, comes from individual donors whose contributions to the nonprofit are tax exempt. Dhillon said that she is probably the top donor and that “more than 50 percent” of the center’s money comes from her seed funding and three other major donors, whom she would not name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filings with the IRS show that the center, under its prior name Publius Lex, received less than $50,000 in contributions in 2018 and was therefore not required to itemize its contributors. The filing for 2019 has not yet been made available. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic began, Dhillon said that the nonprofit has received tens of thousands of dollars in donations, but that the legal bill incurred by repeatedly suing the state “significantly exceeds” that figure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t been paid a penny for these cases yet,” she insisted. “I’m not sure I will be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the lawsuits filed against California’s shelter-in-place order are funded in part by conservative-leaning nonprofits. One of the challenges to Gov. Newsom’s allocation of state funds to undocumented immigrants is supported by Judicial Watch, Inc., a longtime legal antagonist of Bill and Hillary Clinton, which recently sued the U.S. Department of Justice for information regarding ties between former Vice President Joe Biden and Ukraine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other nonprofit backers of the cases filed against California include the National Center for Law & Policy, which made headlines in 2015 when it sued the Escondido public school district for treating its students as “religious ‘guinea pigs” by \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-yoga-legal-fight-20150612-story.html\">subjecting them to yoga classes\u003c/a>, and Freedom X, a Los Angeles-based organization that lists combating “intellectual McCarthyism” and “creeping Sharia” as its main campaigns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits against California’s shelter-in-place orders are only just beginning to wind their way through the legal system. As both the state and counties begin to relax their various shelter-in-place orders, the complaints may be irrelevant before they reach a judicial conclusion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But none have had much luck so far. Of those that have requested the court to freeze the state orders while the case plays itself out, none have been granted and — so far — four have been explicitly denied. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That isn’t surprising, said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley Law School. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley Law School\"]‘Simply put, these lawsuits are very likely to lose, as most of these challenges around the country have failed’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Simply put, these lawsuits are very likely to lose, as most of these challenges around the country have failed,” he said in an email. “The government has broad powers to take emergency actions to stop the spread of communicable diseases. This includes the power to order quarantine or shelter in place, to order closure of businesses, and to limit assemblies, including for religious purposes. So long as the government’s action is reasonably related to stopping the spread of COVID-19, the government is likely to prevail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon said she is playing the long game. A few state judges have slapped down her petitions to put the statewide order on hold — she said their rationales were “fairly lacking in analysis.” But where she loses, she may appeal to a higher court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, she looks to court rulings in \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/5823881/kansas-religious-gathering-people-limits/\">Kansas\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/illinois-stay-at-home-order-pritzker-extension-judge-blocks/\">Illinois\u003c/a>, where judges have pushed back against public health decrees. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One day I hope to find a judge in California who has a similarly broad view of the Constitution,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"tracker\">\u003c/a>This lawsuit tracker is reported by Ben Christopher and created by web developer John Osborn D’Agostino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://calmatters-covid-19-lawsuit-tracker.netlify.app/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"800\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom now has yet another ticked-off challenger to face in court: an extremely disappointed bride-to-be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the latest filing to challenge the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Monica Six, an Orange County resident, is suing California’s Democratic governor for civil rights violations after his executive order “caused her significant financial hardship as well as ruined her idyllic wedding plans to get married in a special anniversary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In suing the state, Six is in crowded company.

The restrictions that the governor’s March 19 stay-at-home order have imposed on California civic and economic life are without precedent in state history. Many public health experts, both inside and outside the administration, say such drastic measures are necessary to tamp down the coronavirus pandemic and keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But drastic measures they are. Beyond canceled weddings, it has spelled financial calamity for households, business owners, nonprofits and city governments across the state.

She’s a contributor to Fox News and a frequent guest on that network’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” and the “Ingraham Angle,” whose host, Laura Ingraham, Dhillon has cited as a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/03/19/problematic-women-ladies-know-your-first-amendment-rights/\">long-time mentor\u003c/a>.” At the Conservative Political Action Conference last year, Dhillon earned what might be the most coveted of all endorsements on the American right: “She’s a great lawyer,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4783817/user-clip-donald-trump-hayden-williams-cpac-speech&fbclid=IwAR3JAUiQUeswjWY2e9tuV8-ruobH2fb6lz4BbBoqz274XayhQAwVgaelkzc\">President Trump said to Hayden Williams\u003c/a>, a conservative activist who was physically assaulted on UC Berkeley’s campus. “Sue the college, the university, and maybe sue the state.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hasn’t. “Not yet,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born in India, Dhillon grew up in North Carolina before going to Dartmouth College where, like many members of the American right’s intelligentsia, she edited the Dartmouth Review. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After going to the University of Virginia law school and working at various firms in New York and London, she opened her own office in San Francisco in 2006.

Dhillon said her law office is one of many hired by the center and that her office in turn works with other clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for the center, which pays for her office’s legal services, comes from individual donors whose contributions to the nonprofit are tax exempt. Dhillon said that she is probably the top donor and that “more than 50 percent” of the center’s money comes from her seed funding and three other major donors, whom she would not name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filings with the IRS show that the center, under its prior name Publius Lex, received less than $50,000 in contributions in 2018 and was therefore not required to itemize its contributors. The filing for 2019 has not yet been made available. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic began, Dhillon said that the nonprofit has received tens of thousands of dollars in donations, but that the legal bill incurred by repeatedly suing the state “significantly exceeds” that figure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t been paid a penny for these cases yet,” she insisted. “I’m not sure I will be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the lawsuits filed against California’s shelter-in-place order are funded in part by conservative-leaning nonprofits. One of the challenges to Gov. Newsom’s allocation of state funds to undocumented immigrants is supported by Judicial Watch, Inc., a longtime legal antagonist of Bill and Hillary Clinton, which recently sued the U.S. Department of Justice for information regarding ties between former Vice President Joe Biden and Ukraine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other nonprofit backers of the cases filed against California include the National Center for Law & Policy, which made headlines in 2015 when it sued the Escondido public school district for treating its students as “religious ‘guinea pigs” by \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-yoga-legal-fight-20150612-story.html\">subjecting them to yoga classes\u003c/a>, and Freedom X, a Los Angeles-based organization that lists combating “intellectual McCarthyism” and “creeping Sharia” as its main campaigns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits against California’s shelter-in-place orders are only just beginning to wind their way through the legal system. As both the state and counties begin to relax their various shelter-in-place orders, the complaints may be irrelevant before they reach a judicial conclusion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But none have had much luck so far. Of those that have requested the court to freeze the state orders while the case plays itself out, none have been granted and — so far — four have been explicitly denied. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That isn’t surprising, said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley Law School. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Public health experts say the orders have reduced the number of new coronavirus cases nationwide. California Gov. Gavin Newsom allowed the Bay Area counties to continue restrictions while easing them in other areas of the state.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Elon Musk\"]\"Frankly, this is the final straw.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Saturday, Alameda County’s Health Department said it has been working with Tesla to develop a safety plan allowing the Fremont plant to reopen while protecting workers. “We look forward to coming to an agreement on an appropriate safety plan very soon,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the statement also said residents and businesses have made sacrifices to protect the health of people in the region. “It is our collective responsibility to move through the phases of reopening and loosening the restrictions of the shelter-in-place order in the safest way possible, guided by data and science,” the department said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fremont Mayor Lily Mei wrote in a statement that she is growing concerned about the regional economy without provisions for major manufacturing to resume operations. “We know many essential businesses have proven they can successfully operate using strict safety and social distancing practices,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1259261146009178112\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emails seeking comment from Newsom have not been returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Musk’s threat, it would be costly and difficult to quickly shift production from Fremont to Texas or Nevada.

There weren’t many bites, and most people thought it was the end of the paper’s long streak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don Russell, the old editor, thought I was absolutely bonkers to even consider buying the paper,” said Butz. “I know he didn’t make much money on the damn thing over the years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butz is a retired computer programmer and a labor economist for the state. He receives Social Security benefits, so he said he didn’t need the paper to earn him a paycheck. “When it got down to it, I just couldn’t stomach the idea of it not continuing,” he said.[aside tag=\"newspapers,media\" label=\"More media coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most days Butz works out of the newsroom, with a cup of coffee in hand and a cigarette at the ready, typing out headlines in the cluttered newspaper office. Unless it’s Thursday. Thursday is printing day at the press, which is in Quincy, a 90-minute drive from Downieville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once in Quincy, Butz picks up the paper from the press and packs the stacks in his Subaru, setting off across Sierra County. Butz is also the paper’s deliveryman. He drives from Quincy to Grass Valley, stopping in post offices and gas stations in between, filling newspaper stands with the week’s edition and collecting coins from its sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he saved the paper, the story received national press and his subscriber numbers went up. He sells about 300 papers a week in newsstands across the county, but he’s got nearly 800 subscribers across 36 states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butz lives in a rustic off-grid cabin on the side of a mountain. He’s got no cell service or internet. His daughter lives out of town and worries about him. In late March, he was snowed in for several days and eventually rescued by the town snowplow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her urging, Butz moved into the newsroom. He brought in a futon and set up a makeshift kitchen in the old darkroom. He plugged in a coffee maker and prepares soft-boiled eggs in an electric kettle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like it, actually. No commute. I’m here to work,” he said. “There’s always work to do on the newspaper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first issue after he took over the paper, Butz wrote about the times in his life that newspapers have been with him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Newspapers have affirmed my existence time and time again. Keeping this paper alive is maintaining a love affair,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butz says, in some ways, keeping the paper going was like a protest, a fight against losing the essential things. Now, he continues to provide essential coverage for his community during the coronavirus crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a certain amount of rebellion that’s involved in what I’ve done. It’s like, ‘God damm it, no!’ If I have a chance to make a difference in this I’m going to do it,” Butz said. “We’ll see how long I last. But so far, so good.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Alpine County is one of California’s most remote counties. On the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada and just south of Lake Tahoe, Alpine has the smallest population of any California county, with just under 1,200 residents. But it’s no tiny enclave. By comparison, Alpine County and Alameda County cover roughly the same amount of land area — about 740 square miles — but Alameda has more than 1,500 times as many residents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are only a handful of businesses in Alpine County — the Markleeville General Store, a coffee shop called Alps Haus Cafe and several lodging and recreation businesses. Most of Alpine’s economy relies on tourism and outdoor recreation. In the winter, ski resorts in Bear Valley and Kirkwood fill up, and in the summer, camping and fishing season sustain the local economy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the businesses are in downtown Markleeville. But, a little farther north on top of an old Pony Express stop called Woodfords Station, there’s place called the Mad Dog Cafe. Mad Dog has a deli and sells other specialty food, but that’s not their main draw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big chunk of Mad Dog’s customer base comes in just to play the California lottery. Owner Jennifer Quilici is able to pay most of her employee’s salaries through her lottery sales. “I generate a lot of revenue — over a million dollars a year in revenue for the Lotto and I get a commission off of that,” Quilici said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11817352\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/lottery-story_photo-3-800x527.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"527\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11817352\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/lottery-story_photo-3-800x527.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/lottery-story_photo-3-160x105.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/lottery-story_photo-3-1020x672.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/lottery-story_photo-3-1920x1265.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">With the summer season around the corner, Mad Dog is stocked up on specialty goods for the reopening. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Jennifer Quilici)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Most of Mad Dog’s lottery customers aren’t Californians. The market is six miles from the Nevada border and since Nevada doesn’t have a state lottery, Mad Dog is the closest place for older, retired Nevadans who love to play their scratchers. Quilici said they’re reliable customers: “I hear day in and day out that they've been playing it for 30 years since it opened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quilici doesn’t fully understand the phenomenon. Sometimes she asks them what they’ll do with the money if they win, “And they're like, ‘Well, I may give it to my children or I don't know.’ ” She thinks that over the years, the routine has grown into a pastime for her customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Gavin Newsom issued the shelter-in-place order in March, Mad Dog stayed open, serving to-go sandwiches and still selling lottery tickets. Their lottery sales went up in late March since they were one of the last stores in the area still open and selling them. Sales were up over 500% from the same time period last year, according to Quilici. Some customers from Nevada were driving more than an hour to get their tickets from Mad Dog. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since her retiree customers are among the highest-risk population for the novel coronavirus, Quilici took precautionary measures and implemented new policies to encourage social distancing. The staff was constantly disinfecting the store with cleaning wipes, and customers were only allowed in a few at a time with cones to keep people 6 feet apart. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her customers weren’t all complying. When they put chairs on top of tables to discourage groups from sitting down together, some of the lottery customers took them down. In response, staff moved the chairs out of the store. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Howell, who works as a clerk at Mad Dog, and his wife, Joy, manage the store. He said one customer was coughing and hacking and said that he didn’t care if he died. “And Joy looked at him and says, ‘Well, I do!’ ” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quilici’s concerns about the health of her customers and employees continued to grow. Alpine County’s public health officer was concerned as well. He encouraged Quilici to close Mad Dog so lottery customers would stop making the trip from Nevada. County officials’ biggest concern throughout the COVID-19 crisis has been outsiders coming to Alpine to escape urban centers and unwittingly bringing the virus with them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11817371\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 724px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/iStock-458995375.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11817371\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/iStock-458995375.jpg 724w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/iStock-458995375-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A collection of California Lottery scratcher tickets — sold in many stores with payouts of various amounts. \u003ccite>(iStock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alpine is the only county in California with no hospital beds, so any outbreak could quickly overrun the county health clinic, which is only open two days a week. When the county clinic is closed, residents need to drive to either South Lake Tahoe or across the state line to Carson Valley in Nevada — both about a 30-minute drive away. The lack of medical resources is the main reason that the county ordered all short-term rentals, including Airbnb and some local rental companies, to cease operations. The U.S. Forest Service also closed down the campgrounds in Alpine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early April, Quilici decided to shut down. She says her lottery customers seemed to understand. But Howell said that when he and his wife parked in the lot to check on the store, three or four cars would pull up with people asking if they were open again. [aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, only one resident in Alpine County has tested positive for COVID-19 and that person has recovered. Businesses in Alpine have reopened over the last week or so with the support of the county health department. In a statement, Alpine County Health and Human Services Director Nichole Williamson said the department “has been in contact with all restaurants in the county that are reopening and provided guidance and support to them so they can ensure the safety of their employees and customers.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the go-ahead from the county, Quilici reopened Mad Dog on May 4. But it’s not the same as pre-COVID-19. Quilici is keeping the health precautions in place; the store has tape to keep people 6 feet apart and plexiglass at the counter to separate customers and employees. She thinks this will be the new normal for a while. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everything's gonna change now,” Quilici said. “People are going to be mindful of what can happen and how things can change so quickly and how they can affect our health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though they can only come in a few at a time, Mad Dog’s regulars are ecstatic about the reopening. On the day she reopened, the phone was ringing nonstop with people calling in to ask if the store was open yet. In her first two days — a Monday and a Tuesday, which are typically the slowest days — the lottery ticket sales were double their average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quilici’s hopeful that the business will be able to bounce back and make up for the lost revenue during the closure. At the very least, she’s happy that Mad Dog Cafe and the lottery can provide a return to normalcy and a bit of respite for her dedicated customers. \u003c/p>\n\n",

The staff was constantly disinfecting the store with cleaning wipes, and customers were only allowed in a few at a time with cones to keep people 6 feet apart. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her customers weren’t all complying. When they put chairs on top of tables to discourage groups from sitting down together, some of the lottery customers took them down. In response, staff moved the chairs out of the store. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Howell, who works as a clerk at Mad Dog, and his wife, Joy, manage the store. He said one customer was coughing and hacking and said that he didn’t care if he died. “And Joy looked at him and says, ‘Well, I do!’ ” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quilici’s concerns about the health of her customers and employees continued to grow. Alpine County’s public health officer was concerned as well. He encouraged Quilici to close Mad Dog so lottery customers would stop making the trip from Nevada. County officials’ biggest concern throughout the COVID-19 crisis has been outsiders coming to Alpine to escape urban centers and unwittingly bringing the virus with them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11817371\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 724px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/iStock-458995375.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11817371\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/iStock-458995375.jpg 724w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/iStock-458995375-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A collection of California Lottery scratcher tickets — sold in many stores with payouts of various amounts. \u003ccite>(iStock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alpine is the only county in California with no hospital beds, so any outbreak could quickly overrun the county health clinic, which is only open two days a week. When the county clinic is closed, residents need to drive to either South Lake Tahoe or across the state line to Carson Valley in Nevada — both about a 30-minute drive away. The lack of medical resources is the main reason that the county ordered all short-term rentals, including Airbnb and some local rental companies, to cease operations. The U.S. Forest Service also closed down the campgrounds in Alpine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early April, Quilici decided to shut down. She says her lottery customers seemed to understand. But Howell said that when he and his wife parked in the lot to check on the store, three or four cars would pull up with people asking if they were open again. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Businesses in Alpine have reopened over the last week or so with the support of the county health department. In a statement, Alpine County Health and Human Services Director Nichole Williamson said the department “has been in contact with all restaurants in the county that are reopening and provided guidance and support to them so they can ensure the safety of their employees and customers.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the go-ahead from the county, Quilici reopened Mad Dog on May 4. But it’s not the same as pre-COVID-19. Quilici is keeping the health precautions in place; the store has tape to keep people 6 feet apart and plexiglass at the counter to separate customers and employees. She thinks this will be the new normal for a while. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everything's gonna change now,” Quilici said. “People are going to be mindful of what can happen and how things can change so quickly and how they can affect our health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though they can only come in a few at a time, Mad Dog’s regulars are ecstatic about the reopening. On the day she reopened, the phone was ringing nonstop with people calling in to ask if the store was open yet. In her first two days — a Monday and a Tuesday, which are typically the slowest days — the lottery ticket sales were double their average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
