But the ones he saw seemed unclear about whether or not they should wear masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some folks were hiking with masks, some folks were hiking with mask-in-hand in case they came across people,” Lauretig said. “And some didn’t have any masks at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Memorial Day weekend is one of the few national holidays deeply associated with getting out of the house and exploring the great outdoors. And while the COVID-19 pandemic has upended many family outings, some park restrictions are easing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two national parks in California — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/jotr/index.htm\">Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/redw/index.htm\">Redwood National Park\u003c/a> — have announced partial reopening with some restrictions. Officials at \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm\">Yosemite National Park\u003c/a> have drawn up a plan to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11819673/yosemite-could-be-open-by-june\">reopen as early as June\u003c/a>. And parks across the state are allowing for some vehicle access to parking lots, which have been closed for weeks. But with more options opening up, guidance for how to keep yourself and others safe in the great outdoors can be confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because, in part, counties across California are in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1963889/coronavirus-some-bay-area-counties-are-about-to-open-up-more-heres-where-your-county-stands\">different stages\u003c/a> of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shelter-in-place order, with varying public health guidelines applying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gloria Sandoval, deputy director of public affairs for California State Parks, understands how confusing that can be, and said the best thing visitors can do before Memorial Day – and throughout the summer months – is to check online before heading out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By doing that, they will find out what regulations are in place, restrictions, whether the park is even open, if there’s any parking,” Sandoval said. “That will ensure that they’re prepared to responsibly recreate in the outdoors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planning ahead is even more important with many local businesses still closed, or doing pickup only with limited hours. In some places that means if you forget an essential item — like sunscreen or water — you might be out of luck. Visitor centers will also be closed, so Lauretig said you should come prepared with a map of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And you should also make sure to have a backup plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before you even get into the park, think about some other hikes or other places you want to go visit,” Lauretig said. “Maybe Joshua Tree National Park is way too busy to go visit on Memorial Day weekend, there’s plenty of places to explore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before you get ready to head out, here are some recommendations:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Check out the park before you go\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some parks only have 50% parking lot capacity, some are only open for day use and others are closed entirely. Before you leave, call the park or check online to make sure you know the restrictions before you head out.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Plan ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember: Most bathroom facilities at parks are not open or will not have essential hygiene materials like soap or hand sanitizer. With many businesses closed, or operating with limited hours, make sure to pack what you need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a short list to get you started:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sunscreen\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hand sanitizer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Map of the park\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Make a backup plan\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Let’s say you get to a state park and the parking lot is absolutely packed. Or you can see from the sidewalk that there are definitely too many people at this trailhead to allow for safe social distancing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s your next best option? Make a mental (or physical) list of places you could go instead and make a backup plan for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Keep an eye out for wild animals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>With reports across the state of increased coyote sightings and rattlesnakes sunning in the middle of park paths, Sandoval said visitors should be cautious since some wild animals have become accustomed to a human-free environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t put your hands and your feet where your eyes have not seen,” Lauretig said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Folks driving to Joshua Tree and other desert parks should also be cautious of tortoises along the roadway, said Lauretig.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tortoises are foraging on all this green food and flowers and things,” he said. “So folks need to slow down and really be careful about when they pull off the road, or if they see something round down the road in front of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11819800\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11819800\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree.jpg\" alt=\"A sign reads 'Slow For Tortoise' in Joshua Tree National Park on May 18, one day after the park reopened after being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1183\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree-160x99.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree-800x493.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree-1020x628.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign reads ‘Slow for Tortoise’ in Joshua Tree National Park on May 18, one day after the park reopened after being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ccite>(Mario Tama/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Follow park rules\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>True before the pandemic and still true now: It’s a good idea to follow the rules at a public park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval said because there’s less park staff in the area due to COVID-19, visitors should take extra care to leave no trace.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Keep it moving\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While park facilities are opening up for hiking and walking, visitors are being asked, for the most part, not to stick around in one area for too long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the majority of the beaches, we’re asking people not to bring coolers, chairs, not to linger. Only active recreation is allowed,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A good rule of thumb? Don’t bring anything you don’t want to carry around all day.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Stay safe!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While it can be easy to forget the state of the world while standing under towering redwoods or staring at the vastness of the ocean, remember: The standard coronavirus health guidelines still apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Make sure to maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others, carry a mask with you and don’t gather with people you don’t live with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Officials at \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm\">Yosemite National Park\u003c/a> have drawn up a plan to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11819673/yosemite-could-be-open-by-june\">reopen as early as June\u003c/a>. And parks across the state are allowing for some vehicle access to parking lots, which have been closed for weeks. But with more options opening up, guidance for how to keep yourself and others safe in the great outdoors can be confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because, in part, counties across California are in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1963889/coronavirus-some-bay-area-counties-are-about-to-open-up-more-heres-where-your-county-stands\">different stages\u003c/a> of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shelter-in-place order, with varying public health guidelines applying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gloria Sandoval, deputy director of public affairs for California State Parks, understands how confusing that can be, and said the best thing visitors can do before Memorial Day – and throughout the summer months – is to check online before heading out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By doing that, they will find out what regulations are in place, restrictions, whether the park is even open, if there’s any parking,” Sandoval said. “That will ensure that they’re prepared to responsibly recreate in the outdoors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planning ahead is even more important with many local businesses still closed, or doing pickup only with limited hours. In some places that means if you forget an essential item — like sunscreen or water — you might be out of luck. Visitor centers will also be closed, so Lauretig said you should come prepared with a map of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And you should also make sure to have a backup plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before you even get into the park, think about some other hikes or other places you want to go visit,” Lauretig said. “Maybe Joshua Tree National Park is way too busy to go visit on Memorial Day weekend, there’s plenty of places to explore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before you get ready to head out, here are some recommendations:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Check out the park before you go\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some parks only have 50% parking lot capacity, some are only open for day use and others are closed entirely. Before you leave, call the park or check online to make sure you know the restrictions before you head out.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Plan ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember: Most bathroom facilities at parks are not open or will not have essential hygiene materials like soap or hand sanitizer. With many businesses closed, or operating with limited hours, make sure to pack what you need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a short list to get you started:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sunscreen\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hand sanitizer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Map of the park\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Make a backup plan\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Let’s say you get to a state park and the parking lot is absolutely packed. Or you can see from the sidewalk that there are definitely too many people at this trailhead to allow for safe social distancing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s your next best option? Make a mental (or physical) list of places you could go instead and make a backup plan for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Keep an eye out for wild animals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>With reports across the state of increased coyote sightings and rattlesnakes sunning in the middle of park paths, Sandoval said visitors should be cautious since some wild animals have become accustomed to a human-free environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t put your hands and your feet where your eyes have not seen,” Lauretig said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Folks driving to Joshua Tree and other desert parks should also be cautious of tortoises along the roadway, said Lauretig.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tortoises are foraging on all this green food and flowers and things,” he said. “So folks need to slow down and really be careful about when they pull off the road, or if they see something round down the road in front of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11819800\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11819800\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree.jpg\" alt=\"A sign reads 'Slow For Tortoise' in Joshua Tree National Park on May 18, one day after the park reopened after being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1183\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree-160x99.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree-800x493.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Slow-for-Tortoise-Joshua-Tree-1020x628.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign reads ‘Slow for Tortoise’ in Joshua Tree National Park on May 18, one day after the park reopened after being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ccite>(Mario Tama/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Follow park rules\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>True before the pandemic and still true now: It’s a good idea to follow the rules at a public park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval said because there’s less park staff in the area due to COVID-19, visitors should take extra care to leave no trace.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Keep it moving\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While park facilities are opening up for hiking and walking, visitors are being asked, for the most part, not to stick around in one area for too long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the majority of the beaches, we’re asking people not to bring coolers, chairs, not to linger.

He was exonerated and walked free in Sacramento on March 13, 2020 — just days before Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide shelter-in-place order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m happy to be home, absolutely,” Puckett said. “But there’s really not too much I can do out here because of this shelter in place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puckett was arrested and charged with a murder robbery and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in 2002. But over the course of the past six years, the \u003ca href=\"http://ncip.org\">Northern California Innocence Project\u003c/a> helped expose \u003ca href=\"http://ncip.org/jeremy-puckett/\">numerous problems\u003c/a> with Puckett’s prosecution that were never presented to the jury — including an alibi, a recantation from the perpetrator who originally implicated Puckett and significant evidence that included 700 pages of materials the government withheld from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although happy to be home with his family in Sacramento, Puckett has entered a much different world than he’d envisioned just months ago. The coronavirus has posed unforeseen challenges — both for him and the many people he knows who are still behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been dealing with problems with getting my Social Security card, my California’s driver’s license and ID as well,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But mostly, Puckett said he’s concerned for the safety of people who are still on the inside, including his son, who’s been quarantined in county jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jeremy Puckett\"]‘I’d much rather be out here dealing with this situation than dealing with it in there.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The quarantine was a precautionary measure after his son’s cellmate came down with a fever, but Puckett is worried because he hasn’t heard from him in more than a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puckett said he keeps in touch with friends still in prison, some of whom have shared a variety of concerns — from losing access to law libraries that are critical to incarcerated people fighting their own court cases, to seeing some guards not wearing masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re incarcerated, you’re basically sitting in a box,” Puckett said. “There’s only so much you can do, so you know, you’re more worried about what’s coming in than what’s going out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incarcerated people are \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2020/03/19/this-chart-shows-why-the-prison-population-is-so-vulnerable-to-covid-19\">particularly vulnerable during this pandemic\u003c/a>, and new safety measures have also limited the support they’re able to receive.

Experts say that disrupted or unusual sleep patterns is to be expected right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in a unique time,” said Aric Prather, an associate professor of psychiatry at UCSF and the director of the behavioral sleep research program. “People are experiencing a level of stress and uncertainty that is fairly unprecedented … and that type of anxiety and angst doesn’t end when we close our eyes.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where are these dreams coming from?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It may feel like you’re dreaming more, but Prather said it’s more likely that you’re able to \u003cem>remember\u003c/em> the dreams with more clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people experience dreaming-sleep in the second half of the night, when your sleep is less deep. “And so there’s a tendency to have more awakenings or intermittent light sleep,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you wake up during this time — especially if you’re experiencing a “high-intense, negative, affective dream” — you may be more likely to remember it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may also be that our bodies are also responding to the coronavirus pandemic in unseen ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that when people get acutely stressed, you can narrow your focus and remember things that are particularly relevant,” Prather said. “It could be that, during this time period, our brains are kind of on high alert and tagging [relevant] things more frequently. And this is resulting in remembering our dreams more vividly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, there’s just your mind trying to process everything that’s happening in this unprecedented time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sleep serves a lot of different functions,” Prather said. “And one of [them] is trying to make sense of what happened during our day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if I can’t get to sleep at all?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While some may be experiencing evenings full of evocative stories or horrifying nightmares, others say they’ve been experiencing prolonged periods of insomnia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Insomnia is already really prevalent in our population, but is only growing as a consequence of the amount of stress that people are experiencing,” Prather explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/chriscoxrox/status/1248326855318372357?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prather said there are ways to take control of that stress and insomnia during these troubling times.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How to get a better night’s sleep\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Unplug and unwind\u003c/strong>: Set aside a time each night for when you’re going to stop checking the news, stop checking social media and begin getting into your bedtime routine.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Practice relaxing activities\u003c/strong>: Stretching, taking a warm shower, watching TV that’s not \u003cem>too\u003c/em> engaging. “That will help your body and brain begin to kind of know that we’re moving into the night and starting to relax,” Prather said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sleep when you’re sleepy\u003c/strong>: This may seem obvious, but don’t go to bed until you’re actually tired. Don’t force yourself to try to fall asleep if you don’t \u003cem>feel\u003c/em> tired.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Don’t toss and turn\u003c/strong>: If you’ve been laying in bed for 30 minutes or more and you still can’t fall asleep, don’t force it. Prather recommends you get up and practice a quiet activity until you’re sleepy again.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Maintain a good relationship with your bed\u003c/strong>: “Oftentimes people with insomnia spend a lot of time tossing and turning in bed, and your body gets confused about what it’s supposed to be doing there,” Prather said. You want to make sure your brain associates your bed with sleep, not restlessness. So if you can’t sleep, get out of bed!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Find your routine\u003c/strong>: COVID-19 has upended our lives in numerous ways, including messing with our sleep cycle. Prather recommends that you “structure your day in a way that protects your night” by following general best practices: “being active, not napping, reducing caffeine use, reducing alcohol use in the evening.”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003cbr>\nAnd if you’re still plagued by constant, stressful dreams? Here are a few things you can do:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Journal throughout the day\u003c/strong>: While it may be helpful to write down what you’re dreaming, it can also be cathartic to write down your worries and anxieties \u003cem>throughout\u003c/em> the day. That way you can get them out of your system before you go to bed and they have a place to live.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Schedule time to worry\u003c/strong>: “One of the things that most commonly happens to people with insomnia is that, for whatever reason, it seems like the middle of the night is the best time to try to solve all the world’s problems,” Prather said. Instead, he recommends setting aside some intentional time during the day to worry.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Meditate\u003c/strong>: Prather said meditation can be a great tool for increasing your parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for falling asleep and staying asleep and may help combat negative dreams.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Last, whether you’re dreaming about Dolly Parton or the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Prather said we shouldn’t place unnecessary weight or importance on the content of our dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People that have recurrent nightmares due to traumas and things like that, that’s certainly something that should be taken seriously. But, you know, the content of our dreams are fascinating and mystical and often random,” Prather said. “I think it’s better to just kind of reflect and maybe smile about the strange things that you dream, versus getting worked up and investing a lot of time and effort to try to uncover what is being held there under the subconscious level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And this is resulting in remembering our dreams more vividly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, there’s just your mind trying to process everything that’s happening in this unprecedented time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sleep serves a lot of different functions,” Prather said. “And one of [them] is trying to make sense of what happened during our day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if I can’t get to sleep at all?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While some may be experiencing evenings full of evocative stories or horrifying nightmares, others say they’ve been experiencing prolonged periods of insomnia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Insomnia is already really prevalent in our population, but is only growing as a consequence of the amount of stress that people are experiencing,” Prather explained.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Don’t force yourself to try to fall asleep if you don’t \u003cem>feel\u003c/em> tired.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Don’t toss and turn\u003c/strong>: If you’ve been laying in bed for 30 minutes or more and you still can’t fall asleep, don’t force it. Prather recommends you get up and practice a quiet activity until you’re sleepy again.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Maintain a good relationship with your bed\u003c/strong>: “Oftentimes people with insomnia spend a lot of time tossing and turning in bed, and your body gets confused about what it’s supposed to be doing there,” Prather said. You want to make sure your brain associates your bed with sleep, not restlessness. So if you can’t sleep, get out of bed!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Find your routine\u003c/strong>: COVID-19 has upended our lives in numerous ways, including messing with our sleep cycle. Prather recommends that you “structure your day in a way that protects your night” by following general best practices: “being active, not napping, reducing caffeine use, reducing alcohol use in the evening.”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n What do you wonder about the Bay Area, its culture or people that you want KQED to investigate?\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Ask Bay Curious.\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nAnd if you’re still plagued by constant, stressful dreams? Here are a few things you can do:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Journal throughout the day\u003c/strong>: While it may be helpful to write down what you’re dreaming, it can also be cathartic to write down your worries and anxieties \u003cem>throughout\u003c/em> the day. That way you can get them out of your system before you go to bed and they have a place to live.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Schedule time to worry\u003c/strong>: “One of the things that most commonly happens to people with insomnia is that, for whatever reason, it seems like the middle of the night is the best time to try to solve all the world’s problems,” Prather said. Instead, he recommends setting aside some intentional time during the day to worry.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Meditate\u003c/strong>: Prather said meditation can be a great tool for increasing your parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for falling asleep and staying asleep and may help combat negative dreams.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Last, whether you’re dreaming about Dolly Parton or the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Prather said we shouldn’t place unnecessary weight or importance on the content of our dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People that have recurrent nightmares due to traumas and things like that, that’s certainly something that should be taken seriously. But, you know, the content of our dreams are fascinating and mystical and often random,” Prather said. “I think it’s better to just kind of reflect and maybe smile about the strange things that you dream, versus getting worked up and investing a lot of time and effort to try to uncover what is being held there under the subconscious level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Borrowers can now use the money over a 24-week period, rather than the 8-week timeframe set in the initial legislation. Furthermore, loans can still be forgiven even if a business doesn't rehire the same number of workers it employed pre-pandemic. And business owners now only have to use at least 60% of the loan on payroll, down from 75%.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overseen by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as part of a suite of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sba.gov/page/coronavirus-covid-19-small-business-guidance-loan-resources\">relief plans\u003c/a>, the PPP offers relief to help small businesses retain workers and continue to pay bills during the pandemic. Through the program, businesses can apply for low-interest, government-backed loans from private banks to cover up to two months of their average monthly payroll costs, plus an additional 25%, with a cap of $10 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program will likely need additional funding in the future. The PPP initially received $350 billion in funding from the massive $2 trillion emergency stimulus package Congress passed in late March, but those funds ran out quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best part: Much of the the loan \u003cem>can\u003c/em> effectively turn into a grant — with most of it forgiven — if businesses keep their employees on the payroll for at least two months after receiving funding and use 75% of it for payroll costs. For the parts of the loan that are not forgiven, payments will be deferred for six months, with a 1% interest rate and maturity period of two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The terms of this loan, however, are pretty complicated and convoluted, with lots of caveats and nuances — and the description above is very general.

Borrowers can now use the money over a 24-week period, rather than the 8-week timeframe set in the initial legislation. Furthermore, loans can still be forgiven even if a business doesn't rehire the same number of workers it employed pre-pandemic.

Through the program, businesses can apply for low-interest, government-backed loans from private banks to cover up to two months of their average monthly payroll costs, plus an additional 25%, with a cap of $10 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program will likely need additional funding in the future. The PPP initially received $350 billion in funding from the massive $2 trillion emergency stimulus package Congress passed in late March, but those funds ran out quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best part: Much of the the loan \u003cem>can\u003c/em> effectively turn into a grant — with most of it forgiven — if businesses keep their employees on the payroll for at least two months after receiving funding and use 75% of it for payroll costs. For the parts of the loan that are not forgiven, payments will be deferred for six months, with a 1% interest rate and maturity period of two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The terms of this loan, however, are pretty complicated and convoluted, with lots of caveats and nuances — and the description above is very general.

And across the United States, calls from people in crisis have risen, including reported increases in \u003ca href=\"https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2020/03/26/28196873/portland-clinicians-prepare-for-uptick-in-mental-health-crises-due-to-covid-19\">Oregon\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/03/24/metro/amid-coronavirus-surge-calls-massachusetts-suicide-prevention-hotline/\">Massachusetts\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://wskg.org/news/crisis-line-calls-soar-as-coronavirus-spreads/\">New York\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since California's shelter-in-place order took effect, the calls to CSS have remained around 120 to 130 calls daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, the isolation and uncertainly of COVID-19 can exacerbate existing mental health issues, and some people are even experiencing virus-like symptoms induced by their anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniella Bermudez, a crisis counselor at CSS, said helping callers determine if they are experiencing symptoms is the first step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are they feeling very winded, like they just sprinted and even at rest, they can't catch their breath? — which is, you know, a good way to tell if somebody is having difficulty breathing. Or is the breathing connected to anxiety? Are they getting more anxiety from feeling like they can't breathe?\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next step is helping a caller figure out what to do next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some people are like, 'Should I go to the hospital?' And right now we know that we don't want to put more people at risk by going to the hospital. So, what are the alternatives?\" said Bermudez. \"Who else can they involve in their care right now?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bermudez said she tries to refer callers to speak with an advice nurse, family members or friends — essentially, people who can help make choices about health care. She also provides them with factual information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which can help put their minds at ease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other organizations in the Bay Area say they haven't seen the same uptick in people reaching out for help, but they expect that as people continue sheltering in place, those numbers will rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Danger at Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some providers said one reason calls may not yet have increased is that people could be afraid to call from where they're sheltering, which may not be a safe or accepting place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aaron Almanza is the executive director of the San Francisco-based Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender National Help Center. He said they've seen an uptick in online chats since the outbreak — about 55 to 60 per day, up from an average of 40 — but not yet an increase in calls. Almanza theorized that may be due, in part, to the nature of his organization's call center, where a lot of callers are closeted or in the process of coming out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're stuck at home with people who are transphobic, biphobic, homophobic,\" Almanza explained. \"So they can't really call us and talk to us on the phone like they normally can.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some may even be experiencing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11807639/how-to-shelter-in-place-if-you-live-with-domestic-abuse\">domestic violence\u003c/a> and are unable to make calls safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trevor Project, a nationwide suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit focused on LGBTQ youth, reported increased mentions of COVID-19 from the youth who have reached out for support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For LGBTQ young people, many of whom already face unique mental health challenges due to increased experiences with discrimination and harassment, social isolation can mean being forced back into the closet or unsupportive, even abusive home environments,\" said Tia Dole, chief clinical operations officer for the nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Finding Ways to Cope\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It can be hard to emotionally navigate an unprecedented event like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gavin Newsom on Friday.
