"bio": "Sasha Khokha is the host of \u003cem>The California Report's \u003c/em> weekly magazine program, which takes listeners on sound-rich excursions to meet the people that make the Golden State unique -- through audio documentaries and long-form stories. As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 6:52 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. health care system is trying to be ready for possible outbreaks of the new coronavirus, after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned communities this week to prepare for the kind of spread now being seen in Iran, Italy, South Korea and other areas outside the virus’ epicenter in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC notes there are only 15 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States, plus 45 more cases among Americans who were brought home from the Diamond Princess cruise ship or via flights from Asia arranged by the U.S. State Department. The vast majority of those total cases in the U.S. are travel related; there are no signs, so far, that the virus has spread beyond the CDC totals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some U.S. health care workers on the front line, including Maureen Dugan, worry they are not properly prepared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dugan is a veteran nurse at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, where two coronavirus patients were transferred this month. UCSF is one of the premier hospitals in the country, but Dugan says her frustrations are mounting because she says her employer offered little notice or training to those caring for the infected patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to do the best. We work extremely hard to do the best for our patients, so don’t set us up to fail,” Dugan says. “It’s not only nurses — it’s all the other staff. It’s nursing assistants; it’s transport. Every staff member is worried.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coronavirus has yet to sicken American health workers, as it has in China. But deaths of hospital workers in Asia have heightened scrutiny of the U.S. health care system’s ability to protect people on the front line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dugan says the medical community wasn’t fully prepared for previous viruses, like SARS and Ebola — and she’s concerned that lessons learned are not being applied today. For example: The protective garments provided, she says, leave the wearer’s neck exposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The gowns that they’re providing are inadequate,” she says, with emotion. “I’m sorry — I get very passionate about this, because we’ve worked so hard to make sure that our nurses were protected and therefore they can protect the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSF said in a written response to NPR that it has taken multiple “extensive” safety precautions, including isolating sick patients in rooms with special ventilation systems and training staff with proper use of safety gear. In regards to the two coronavirus cases Dugan refers to, UCSF said it briefed the workers who were actually treating the patients. But the hospital does not — as a matter of course — inform general staff of incoming infection cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>World health officials warn that COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, may enter a new phase in the U.S. at some point. Thus far, U.S. hospitals have been able to plan for transfers of incoming patients whose condition is already known. That’s very different from a spreading outbreak, where sick people walk in off the street — a far more difficult scenario for health care workers and the public they treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the unrecognized case that comes through your hospital system or your clinics that really pose the greatest risk,” says Mark Rupp, chief of infectious disease at the University of Nebraska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rupp’s hospital is considered a model for managing infections. Its pioneering medical center is one of the few with experience treating Ebola. It has an isolation chamber that filters pathogens, and it practices dry runs, making sure respiration masks fit workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most critically, he says, hospital staff verbally screen patients at the facility’s entrance, asking about symptoms and travel history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without that sort of logistical control at a hospital’s entrance, he says, a coughing patient can quickly infect medical staff and other patients waiting in the emergency room or a clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about the thousands of other hospitals without extensive experience with the riskiest cases? How are they bracing for a potential outbreak?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those medical centers are also preparing, says Nancy Foster, vice president of quality and patient safety for the American Hospital Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone I’ve spoken to says they’ve taken substantial steps to make sure they are prepared,” including steps like isolating infectious patients and conserving face masks to ensure supplies last, Foster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all staff working at those hospitals feel ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Nurses United is conducting an ongoing survey that as of last week found that about 31% of nearly 5,000 nurse respondents said they didn’t have enough protective gear to handle a surge of coronavirus cases. Only 9% said their hospital or clinic had plans to isolate potentially infected patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not high enough for us to feel comfortable,” says Bonnie Castillo, president of the nurses union. She notes that many hospitals are already operating at capacity and that if the coronavirus spreads in the U.S., it will stress the system even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If health care workers and nurses aren’t protected, no one is protected,” Castillo says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the White House has requested $1.25 billion in new funding to support preparedness and vaccine development. Congressional Democrats — as well as some Republicans — are calling that amount insufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

The vast majority of those total cases in the U.S. are travel related; there are no signs, so far, that the virus has spread beyond the CDC totals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some U.S. health care workers on the front line, including Maureen Dugan, worry they are not properly prepared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dugan is a veteran nurse at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, where two coronavirus patients were transferred this month. UCSF is one of the premier hospitals in the country, but Dugan says her frustrations are mounting because she says her employer offered little notice or training to those caring for the infected patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We work extremely hard to do the best for our patients, so don’t set us up to fail,” Dugan says. “It’s not only nurses — it’s all the other staff. It’s nursing assistants; it’s transport. Every staff member is worried.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coronavirus has yet to sicken American health workers, as it has in China. But deaths of hospital workers in Asia have heightened scrutiny of the U.S. health care system’s ability to protect people on the front line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dugan says the medical community wasn’t fully prepared for previous viruses, like SARS and Ebola — and she’s concerned that lessons learned are not being applied today. For example: The protective garments provided, she says, leave the wearer’s neck exposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The gowns that they’re providing are inadequate,” she says, with emotion. “I’m sorry — I get very passionate about this, because we’ve worked so hard to make sure that our nurses were protected and therefore they can protect the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSF said in a written response to NPR that it has taken multiple “extensive” safety precautions, including isolating sick patients in rooms with special ventilation systems and training staff with proper use of safety gear. In regards to the two coronavirus cases Dugan refers to, UCSF said it briefed the workers who were actually treating the patients. But the hospital does not — as a matter of course — inform general staff of incoming infection cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>World health officials warn that COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, may enter a new phase in the U.S. at some point. Thus far, U.S. hospitals have been able to plan for transfers of incoming patients whose condition is already known. That’s very different from a spreading outbreak, where sick people walk in off the street — a far more difficult scenario for health care workers and the public they treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the unrecognized case that comes through your hospital system or your clinics that really pose the greatest risk,” says Mark Rupp, chief of infectious disease at the University of Nebraska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rupp’s hospital is considered a model for managing infections. Its pioneering medical center is one of the few with experience treating Ebola. It has an isolation chamber that filters pathogens, and it practices dry runs, making sure respiration masks fit workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most critically, he says, hospital staff verbally screen patients at the facility’s entrance, asking about symptoms and travel history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without that sort of logistical control at a hospital’s entrance, he says, a coughing patient can quickly infect medical staff and other patients waiting in the emergency room or a clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about the thousands of other hospitals without extensive experience with the riskiest cases? How are they bracing for a potential outbreak?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those medical centers are also preparing, says Nancy Foster, vice president of quality and patient safety for the American Hospital Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone I’ve spoken to says they’ve taken substantial steps to make sure they are prepared,” including steps like isolating infectious patients and conserving face masks to ensure supplies last, Foster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all staff working at those hospitals feel ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Nurses United is conducting an ongoing survey that as of last week found that about 31% of nearly 5,000 nurse respondents said they didn’t have enough protective gear to handle a surge of coronavirus cases. Only 9% said their hospital or clinic had plans to isolate potentially infected patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not high enough for us to feel comfortable,” says Bonnie Castillo, president of the nurses union. She notes that many hospitals are already operating at capacity and that if the coronavirus spreads in the U.S., it will stress the system even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If health care workers and nurses aren’t protected, no one is protected,” Castillo says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the White House has requested $1.25 billion in new funding to support preparedness and vaccine development. Congressional Democrats — as well as some Republicans — are calling that amount insufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

That’s because if you do get sick, you want to be ready to ride it out at home if need be. So far, 80% of COVID-19 cases have been mild.

But \u003ca href=\"https://www.mailman.columbia.edu/people/our-faculty/ssm20\">Stephen Morse\u003c/a>, a professor of epidemiology at Columbia University Medical Center, says what we know from other coronaviruses is that most household cleansers — such as bleach wipes or alcohol — will kill them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even wiping down surfaces with soap and water should do the trick, he says, because this coronavirus has a lipid envelope around it — like a coat that keeps the RNA inside the viral particle. And soap is a detergent that can break down lipids. “We use them to take grease and oil, which is a lipid, off our dishes,” he notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If COVID-19 does start circulating in your community or there’s someone sick at home, plan on cleaning surfaces that get touched frequently — such as kitchen counters and bathroom faucets — several times a day, says \u003ca href=\"https://profiles.utsouthwestern.edu/profile/146404/trish-perl-delisle.html\">Dr. Trish Perl\u003c/a>, chief of the infectious disease division at UT Southwestern Medical Center. That advice, she says, comes from studies on other diseases “where they’ve shown that if you do clean up the environment, you can actually decrease the amount of virus that is on hard surfaces significantly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about face masks?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The science on whether it’s helpful to wear a face mask out in public is really, really mixed, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/01/29/800531753/face-masks-what-doctors-say-about-their-role-in-containing-coronavirus\">we’ve reported in depth\u003c/a>. (For starters, it depends on what kind of mask you are wearing and whether you use it correctly.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some infectious disease experts are reluctant to recommend that people wear masks as a preventive measure because they can provide a false sense of security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What experts do agree on is that wearing a mask is a good idea if you are sick, so you can reduce the chances that you’ll infect others, whether it’s family members at home or people at the doctor’s office if you go in to be seen. Perl says that wearing a mask when sick is especially a good idea if you live with someone whose immune system is compromised or who’s elderly, since people in their 60s and above seem to be the most vulnerable to COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some research suggests that wearing a mask can help protect you if you’re caring for a sick family member, but only if you wear it all the time in the presence of the sick person and if you are careful not to touch the front of it, which could be contaminated with pathogens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What to do about work — and telecommuting?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now is the time to talk to your boss about your ability to work from home if COVID-19 is spreading locally, says Morse. Obviously, if you’re sick, you should stay home. But even if you are well, telecommuting makes sense in the event of a local outbreak to reduce the chances that you’ll be infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That might be the prudent thing for many people to do if they’re able to do it,” he says, especially in big cities like New York, where large crowds of people are concentrated on public transport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the plan if you get sick?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you show early signs of illness — like a fever or a dry cough — Bracho-Sanchez says you should call your doctor’s office but don’t necessarily head straight to the emergency room or urgent care, where you might infect others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you really need to come into the office? Can we work this out through the phone?” Bracho-Sanchez says. “Of course, if you’re having trouble breathing, if you’re dehydrated, that’s a different story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you have a plan for kids and older relatives?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perl and Katz suggest you start figuring out now what you would do if day care centers or schools start closing because of an outbreak. Do you have a backup child care plan in place?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a plan for these kinds of eventualities now — instead of like it happened in China, where one minute things were open and the next minute they weren’t — can be very helpful and a lot less disruptive,” Perl says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For example, for me, I’m trying to think about, what if my mother gets sick? She doesn’t live in Dallas,” where Perl is. “What am I going to do? How am I going to get her cared for?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perl says it would be wise to reach out now to friends or neighbors who might be able to help in such situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there any habits I can practice at home to stay healthy? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bracho-Sanchez suggests everyone in the house start a new habit today: Wash your hands as soon as you walk through the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ve heard it over and over, but one of the best ways to protect yourself against infection from COVID-19 — or cold or flu, for that matter – is good old-fashioned hand hygiene. Washing your hands frequently, as well as avoiding touching your face, eyes and nose, is a tried-and-true way to cut down on respiratory infections, Perl says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that “good hand-washing and frequent hand-washing will decrease the risk of transmission of these viruses anywhere from 30 to 50 percent,” she says. “You can use the alcohol-based hand gels, or you can use soap and water. It doesn’t need to be any kind of antibacterial soap.” And you should \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/when-how-handwashing.html\">scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds\u003c/a> — about as long as it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, if you’re not already doing it, start practicing good respiratory etiquette: Cough into your elbow instead of spewing virus-laden particles into the air (and wash your hands right after), and make sure to throw out your used tissues, since they might have virus particles on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are very, very effective kinds of measures just in terms of decreasing exposure of others,” says Perl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

But even if you are well, telecommuting makes sense in the event of a local outbreak to reduce the chances that you’ll be infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That might be the prudent thing for many people to do if they’re able to do it,” he says, especially in big cities like New York, where large crowds of people are concentrated on public transport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the plan if you get sick?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you show early signs of illness — like a fever or a dry cough — Bracho-Sanchez says you should call your doctor’s office but don’t necessarily head straight to the emergency room or urgent care, where you might infect others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you really need to come into the office? Can we work this out through the phone?” Bracho-Sanchez says. “Of course, if you’re having trouble breathing, if you’re dehydrated, that’s a different story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you have a plan for kids and older relatives?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perl and Katz suggest you start figuring out now what you would do if day care centers or schools start closing because of an outbreak. Do you have a backup child care plan in place?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a plan for these kinds of eventualities now — instead of like it happened in China, where one minute things were open and the next minute they weren’t — can be very helpful and a lot less disruptive,” Perl says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For example, for me, I’m trying to think about, what if my mother gets sick? She doesn’t live in Dallas,” where Perl is. “What am I going to do? How am I going to get her cared for?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perl says it would be wise to reach out now to friends or neighbors who might be able to help in such situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there any habits I can practice at home to stay healthy? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bracho-Sanchez suggests everyone in the house start a new habit today: Wash your hands as soon as you walk through the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ve heard it over and over, but one of the best ways to protect yourself against infection from COVID-19 — or cold or flu, for that matter – is good old-fashioned hand hygiene. Washing your hands frequently, as well as avoiding touching your face, eyes and nose, is a tried-and-true way to cut down on respiratory infections, Perl says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that “good hand-washing and frequent hand-washing will decrease the risk of transmission of these viruses anywhere from 30 to 50 percent,” she says. “You can use the alcohol-based hand gels, or you can use soap and water. It doesn’t need to be any kind of antibacterial soap.” And you should \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/when-how-handwashing.html\">scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds\u003c/a> — about as long as it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, if you’re not already doing it, start practicing good respiratory etiquette: Cough into your elbow instead of spewing virus-laden particles into the air (and wash your hands right after), and make sure to throw out your used tissues, since they might have virus particles on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are very, very effective kinds of measures just in terms of decreasing exposure of others,” says Perl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

It's often the children and grandchildren are piecing together the stories, and they drip, drip, drip out. So I wanted to hear what it was like when people who live at this site in Heart Mountain, what do they talk about?

This was her first time back since she was a young girl and she’d brought her two adult children with her. I was struck by talking to her. She looked up on the horizon.

I met a lot of people who said, 'My memories of this place were kid memories.' They didn’t experience what adults felt, having to step away from businesses from their role in the community. They were kids. You heard a lot of stories about how fun it was to play in the river or exploring the animals and the wildlife that lived near Heart Mountain. It was interesting to hear these childlike memories on top of the meaning of what it was to be an American citizen and sent away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"This sounds kind of idiotic, but as a kid, there was no fear,\" Shigeru Yabu told Sale. \"As a youngster, we're looking for adventure. We didn't think about the guard towers, we didn't think about the barbed wires. We just wanted excitement,\" said Yabu, who was forced from his home in San Francisco at age 10.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11802867\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1484px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11802867\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41469_1.-Setsuko-and-Bill-in-class-picture-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Shirley Ann Higuchi's parents\" width=\"1484\" height=\"1071\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41469_1.-Setsuko-and-Bill-in-class-picture-qut.jpg 1484w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41469_1.-Setsuko-and-Bill-in-class-picture-qut-160x115.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41469_1.-Setsuko-and-Bill-in-class-picture-qut-800x577.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41469_1.-Setsuko-and-Bill-in-class-picture-qut-1020x736.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1484px) 100vw, 1484px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A photo of Shirley Ann Higuchi's parents at Heart Mountain where they met.

It was less swapping of memories and light. It was more trying to piece together the more why and how. Some people were there with their elderly parents, but some people were there who’ve lost their parents and were there to learn more about what had happened from what they pieced together from family stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Shirley Ann Higuchi.

It would be strange if your mother wasn't controlling,'\" \u003c/em>\u003cem>Higuchi told Sale.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I actually said to Shirley, 'I love that you come to these pilgrimages and one of the things you talk to other children of incarcerees is 'How do your parents drive you crazy?' It wasn't something that I intuitively anticipated hearing. But of course, the ways people who were incarcerated at Heart Mountain raised their children affected not just Shirley's family, but lots of families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[After hearing her mother gloss over her experiences at Heart Mountain for so many years,] Shirley learned something surprising after her mother's death. [She] had been sending money to create a memorial and museum at the site of the former incarceration center [which was built in 2011]. Shirley discovered that her mother had stayed in touch and had been quite active in the effort to remember what had happened there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conversation that was happening at the pilgrimage was not just about the past. It was about what this means today. I heard from former incarcerees and their children and grandchildren talking about the ways the current political environment makes them think about this history and the obligation and responsibility they have to talk about what happened, and to make sure this doesn't happen again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Additionally, the weekly number of flights to and from China were set to be reduced by about 50% starting Feb. 4, according to SFO spokesperson Doug Yakel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO is not requiring airport employees and passengers to wear masks based on guidance from the CDC and San Francisco Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These health experts are telling us that at this point, masks are not necessary, and there’s nothing yet to prove that these are required to prevent the spread of coronavirus,” Yakel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I heard there were issues with the CDC’s coronavirus test kits. Is that true? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on March 12, Gov. Gavin Newsom said California currently has the capacity to run over 8,000 diagnostic tests for COVID-19. But Newson also stressed that not all of the kits sent to the state’s labs are complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The test kits do not include in every case the RNA extraction kits, the reagents, the chemicals, the solutions that are components of the broader test,” Newsom said. “This is imperative that the federal government and labs across the United States, not just the state of California, get the benefit of all the ingredients that are components of the test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom made the analogy to purchasing a printer without an ink cartridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am surprised this is not more of the national conversation.

We’re sending those reagents down to those labs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the state’s testing capacity, Newsom said: “They are improving, but there are still challenges and we need to own up to that, and we need to be forthright and honest about what those are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/t0212-cdc-telebriefing-transcript.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">news briefing\u003c/a> on Feb. 12, officials with the CDC said some of the coronavirus test kits it sent to states the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p0206-coronavirus-diagnostic-test-kits.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">previous week\u003c/a> were producing “inconclusive laboratory results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are working closely with them to correct the issues. And, as we’ve said all along, speed is important but equally or more important in this situation is making sure that the laboratory results are correct,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There are rumors that someone can be contaminated with this coronavirus by consuming raw or undercooked meat. Is that true? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes and no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the CDC, the outbreak in Wuhan, China, may have been originally linked to some seafood and animal markets. But the majority of the outbreak seems to now be person-to-person transmissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the U.S.?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve not seen any data or statements in the scientific or public health literature to support raw or uncooked meat as a source of novel coronavirus,” Philip said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I heard I should avoid grocery shopping in the first few days of April to make sure that families who get low-income food benefits, like Women, Infants and Children (WIC), have access to the food they need.

And evicting the entire apartment complex would be a much more expensive proposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mass evictions in this Central Valley town are among rising \u003ca href=\"https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/10/15/angry-renters-facing-evictions-demand-action-by-daly-city-officials/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports across California\u003c/a> of landlords removing tenants from their properties ahead of a statewide change taking effect Jan. 1 — a law that will make evictions more costly and difficult for landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not worth it to live here for that much,” said Espinoza, 26, who works making granite countertops. “They [landlords] don’t give a shit about where we go. They’re too worried about their money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2019/09/big-rent-hikes-illegal-in-california-heres-what-to-know/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The new law,\u003c/a> championed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom as the strongest statewide renter protection in the country, caps annual rent increases at 5% plus inflation, while also forcing landlords to specify a legitimate reason for evicting tenants and to offer relocation assistance for no-fault evictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11782920\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11782920 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39809_EVICTION-RUSH-photo-2-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39809_EVICTION-RUSH-photo-2-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39809_EVICTION-RUSH-photo-2-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39809_EVICTION-RUSH-photo-2-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39809_EVICTION-RUSH-photo-2-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39809_EVICTION-RUSH-photo-2-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 2020 ballot initiative could allow cities to impose tighter rent controls than what the new state law allows (Assembly Bill 1482).

Until two months ago, renters paid $750 per month for a two-bedroom apartment, they now pay $850. Renovated units will rent for nearly $1300 per month, pricing out many of the current tenants. \u003ccite>(Anne Wernikoff for CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman David Chiu, theSan Francisco Democrat who was the bill’s lead author, said having the bill take effect immediately was neither politically nor practically realistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Urgency measures” — state laws that go into effect as soon as the governor signs them — require a two-thirds vote in California’s Legislature. The Assembly approved Chiu’s bill with 48 votes, five shy of that supermajority threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This behavior of predatory no-fault evictions has been happening for decades with no transparency,” said Chiu. “And that’s exactly why we did this bill, and come January 1st, 8 million Californians will no longer be exploited in this way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law does aim to block landlords from raising rents beyond the new cap before the new law takes effect: Landlords can still hike rents as much as they please before the new year, but if they exceed the cap, they’ll just have to reset them back to March 2019 levels once the new law kicks in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t legislate away every bad actor,” said Chiu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some landlord groups argue that the Legislature could have deterred some of the behavior happening now if it the new law allowed “banking” — allowing them to raise rents above the allowable annual increase if they didn’t raise them to the full cap the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Chiu’s office is counting down the days until November 2 — the last day it says landlords could legally issue 60-day eviction notices unaffected by the new law’s constraints.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A boon to 2020 rent control initiative?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Other cities may join Los Angeles in passing temporary eviction freezes, but renters shouldn’t look to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if the Newsom administration was planning any statewide emergency action to halt evictions, a spokesman for the governor said in an email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These kinds of unfair evictions are exactly why California passes AB 1482 and the very situations it will protect against. Tenants have rights and access to legal services. They should contact local legal aid clinics if they believe they are being illegally or unfairly targeted or evicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason the rent-cap/just-eviction measure passed at all was the threat of a looming 2020 ballot initiative that would allow cities to impose tighter rent controls than what the new state law allows. The California Apartment Association, the largest interest group for major landlords in the Capitol, withdrew opposition to the bill at least partly so it could argue the 2020 initiative was no longer necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, amid reports of an eviction rush, the sponsor of that initiative said it’s already garnered more than the 700,000 signatures needed to place it on the November 2020 ballot — and that the 74,000 signatures collected last week marked a more than 60% increase over the previous week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Weinstein, president of the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation was surprised the new law was proved so quickly it was not a solution to housing affordability. The foundation’s affiliated housing group Housing is a Human Right opposed the law, arguing a 5%-plus-inflation cap was too weak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Carlton, lobbyist for the California Apartment Association, says she doesn’t think anecdotal reports of eviction will matter: A previous version of that initiative, also sponsored by Weinstein, lost by nearly 20 points last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got to find a better solution,” said Carlton. “It can’t just be about pointing the finger at these landlords, it’s got to be about finding the market balance with new construction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the Canal Farm Gardens in Los Banos, apartment manager Lucero says she’s seen a steady stream of applicants for the newly renovated apartments, with many prospective renters from the Bay Area expressing interest in units going for $1,295 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Banos is about 80 miles southeast of San Jose, where the median two-bedroom \u003ca href=\"https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/rental-price-data/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rents for nearly $2,700\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The apartment complex owners did allow intake workers from various safety net agencies to spend a day trying to help relocate residents, many of whom are farmworkers or have other low-wage jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sargeez Teimoorshahi, program director at the social services nonprofit Turning Point, said that despite efforts to connect evicted residents with county funds for security deposits and extended motel stays, he expects some will be unable to find stable homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately without available affordable housing, that will lead to some families becoming homeless,” said Teimoorshahi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Renovated units will rent for nearly $1300 per month, pricing out many of the current tenants. \u003ccite>(Anne Wernikoff for CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman David Chiu, theSan Francisco Democrat who was the bill’s lead author, said having the bill take effect immediately was neither politically nor practically realistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Urgency measures” — state laws that go into effect as soon as the governor signs them — require a two-thirds vote in California’s Legislature. The Assembly approved Chiu’s bill with 48 votes, five shy of that supermajority threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This behavior of predatory no-fault evictions has been happening for decades with no transparency,” said Chiu. “And that’s exactly why we did this bill, and come January 1st, 8 million Californians will no longer be exploited in this way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law does aim to block landlords from raising rents beyond the new cap before the new law takes effect: Landlords can still hike rents as much as they please before the new year, but if they exceed the cap, they’ll just have to reset them back to March 2019 levels once the new law kicks in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t legislate away every bad actor,” said Chiu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some landlord groups argue that the Legislature could have deterred some of the behavior happening now if it the new law allowed “banking” — allowing them to raise rents above the allowable annual increase if they didn’t raise them to the full cap the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Chiu’s office is counting down the days until November 2 — the last day it says landlords could legally issue 60-day eviction notices unaffected by the new law’s constraints.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A boon to 2020 rent control initiative?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Other cities may join Los Angeles in passing temporary eviction freezes, but renters shouldn’t look to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if the Newsom administration was planning any statewide emergency action to halt evictions, a spokesman for the governor said in an email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These kinds of unfair evictions are exactly why California passes AB 1482 and the very situations it will protect against. Tenants have rights and access to legal services. They should contact local legal aid clinics if they believe they are being illegally or unfairly targeted or evicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason the rent-cap/just-eviction measure passed at all was the threat of a looming 2020 ballot initiative that would allow cities to impose tighter rent controls than what the new state law allows. The California Apartment Association, the largest interest group for major landlords in the Capitol, withdrew opposition to the bill at least partly so it could argue the 2020 initiative was no longer necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, amid reports of an eviction rush, the sponsor of that initiative said it’s already garnered more than the 700,000 signatures needed to place it on the November 2020 ballot — and that the 74,000 signatures collected last week marked a more than 60% increase over the previous week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Weinstein, president of the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation was surprised the new law was proved so quickly it was not a solution to housing affordability. The foundation’s affiliated housing group Housing is a Human Right opposed the law, arguing a 5%-plus-inflation cap was too weak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Carlton, lobbyist for the California Apartment Association, says she doesn’t think anecdotal reports of eviction will matter: A previous version of that initiative, also sponsored by Weinstein, lost by nearly 20 points last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
