His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

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

Many people in jails are still awaiting trial and have yet to be convicted. The frequent turnover, combined with close quarters, can make jails hotbeds for the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucia Tian, Chief Analytics Officer of the American Civil Liberties Union, was part of a data team that put together a report in April warning that outbreaks in jails could lead to \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/aclu_covid19-jail-report_2020-8_1.pdf\">tens to hundreds of thousands more deaths\u003c/a> than forecasters had predicted early on in the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Jails are a really substantial vector for the spread of COVID-19,” Tian said, referring to jails as the “revolving doors of incarceration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, nearly 800,000 people were booked into California jails, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/californias-incarcerated-population-plunges-to-new-low-during-covid-19/\">analysis\u003c/a> by the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say the lack of information on COVID-19 at county jails could compromise safety both inside and outside of the facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a public health issue all the way around,” said Elizabeth Diaz, Fresno County’s Public Defender. “Whether someone is incarcerated or is not, it affects the community as a whole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz said she is concerned not only about the safety of inmates, but also of her staff — the public defenders who meet their clients in the jail and in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen Guneratne, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU of Northern California, said data on COVID-19 in jails is critical to ensuring an adequate public health response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an extreme vacuum of information in the county jail system,” Guneratne said. “The public needs to know about the risks jails are exposing members of their community to so they can protect themselves and those members.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Some Jails Providing Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Despite the lack of centralized data, some jail systems have reported large outbreaks on their websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Aug. 25, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department \u003ca href=\"https://lasd.org/covid19updates/\">reported\u003c/a> 3,133 COVID-19 infections among inmates and 826 among staff; the Orange County Sheriff’s Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocsd.org/about_ocsd/covid_19\">confirmed\u003c/a> in excess of 529 cases among the incarcerated and 166 positive tests among employees; and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedacountysheriff.org/admin_covid19.php\">reported\u003c/a> that 240 inmates and 53 employees tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corresponding by email on Aug. 25, Santa Clara County officials stated that 173 people incarcerated in the jails and 39 employees had tested positive for the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, which does not make COVID-19 data available on its website, initially sent out press releases about the quarantine and outbreak but later stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It stirs up hysteria when things become so data driven,” spokesman Botti wrote in a July 21 email to media outlets. \"Once we reach the point of where our mass quarantine has ended, we will make an announcement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public Defender Diaz said the Sheriff’s Office provides her office with information about COVID-19 cases at Fresno's Jail when prompted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ask the question and we get the answers. It’s not necessarily forthcoming,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to questions about transparency, Botti said, “I don’t agree that we have not been transparent with our COVID situation in the jail. We have regularly released numbers upon request to media members. We also proactively announced when we went into a large quarantine at the North Annex Jail due to a dozen inmates testing positive after a transfer to Wasco State Prison. We continued to provide regular updates of quarantine numbers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Botti said his office does not intend to publish COVID-19 numbers on its website, but that it will provide new jail-related numbers, on a weekly basis, upon request by media members.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Advocates Call for State Oversight\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After months of pressure from advocacy groups, California’s Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) launched \u003ca href=\"https://public.tableau.com/profile/kstevens#!/vizhome/BSCCCOVID-19inDetentionFacilitiesDashboard/Instructions\">a dashboard\u003c/a> on July 31 of COVID-19 data in local detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understand that the community has a great interest in this information,” said Linda Penner, who chairs the oversight board. “You'll be able to look at a county and, you know, with the click of a mouse, you'll be able to look at what happened last week and the week before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates say it does not illustrate the full scope of jail outbreaks in the state. The data does not include infections that occurred during the first four months of the pandemic, making it impossible to see the full size of each facility’s outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asking officials to provide virus data stretching back months “was a big lift for the counties when they are dealing with so many challenges related to the COVID-19 response,” wrote BSCC Director of Communications Tracie Cone in an Aug. 3 email. “Getting the cumulative numbers to date raised some concerns, specifically about accuracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But without the total counts, advocates say, the dashboard is inadequate. Brian Goldstein, Director of Policy with the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice says it’s the wrong decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians should be outraged,” Goldstein said. “The Board of State and Community Corrections remains willfully ignorant of conditions within jails and juvenile facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU’s Guneratne agreed. “It does not give us a very full picture of what is happening at the county levels to address the risk of contagion,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month after the dashboard’s launch, three counties — Amador, Sacramento, and Tehama — have yet to contribute to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Fresno County Ramps Up Testing\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said her department’s response to the outbreak has been limited by space and the number of individual cells available for isolating inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some jails have the ability to isolate inmates and quarantine them before they’re put into the general population. We don’t have that ability,” Mims said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno County’s jail has employed a system that quarantines groups of inmates together by color code — yellow for those with symptoms, orange for those known to have been exposed and red for those who tested positive — and then allows people to join the general population after 10 days of quarantine and three days of no symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims\"]'Some jails have the ability to isolate inmates and quarantine them before they’re put into the general population. We don’t have that ability.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates argue that containing the virus should also involve strategies for reducing jail populations like releasing pretrial offenders who pose no significant risk of harm to others or of fleeing and eliminating outstanding warrants for offenses like failing to appear in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the ACLU report on jails and COVID-19, Fresno County’s jail system at the beginning of the pandemic was the country’s 20th largest. Since March, however, Mims said the jail population had dropped from roughly 3,000 to 2,100 inmates, thanks largely to an emergency order from the state’s Judicial Council setting \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.courts.ca.gov/news/judicial-council-adopts-new-rules-to-lower-jail-population-suspend-evictions-and-foreclosures\">bail at $0\u003c/a> for misdemeanors and lower-level felonies that was issued statewide in April and renewed locally in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduction in the incarcerated population made the jail’s color-coded quarantine system easier to carry out, Mims said, but she warned that the policy could backfire when it comes to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had plenty of those offenders re-offend, and they came back to the jail after being arrested again,” she said. “So it’s a two-sided coin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s office has committed to testing all inmates for the disease weekly, as well as testing all new arrivals upon intake, according to Botti. All employees, 20 of whom were isolating at home as of last week, can also be tested weekly on a voluntary basis.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The frequent turnover, combined with close quarters, can make jails hotbeds for the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucia Tian, Chief Analytics Officer of the American Civil Liberties Union, was part of a data team that put together a report in April warning that outbreaks in jails could lead to \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/aclu_covid19-jail-report_2020-8_1.pdf\">tens to hundreds of thousands more deaths\u003c/a> than forecasters had predicted early on in the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Jails are a really substantial vector for the spread of COVID-19,” Tian said, referring to jails as the “revolving doors of incarceration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, nearly 800,000 people were booked into California jails, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/californias-incarcerated-population-plunges-to-new-low-during-covid-19/\">analysis\u003c/a> by the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say the lack of information on COVID-19 at county jails could compromise safety both inside and outside of the facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a public health issue all the way around,” said Elizabeth Diaz, Fresno County’s Public Defender. “Whether someone is incarcerated or is not, it affects the community as a whole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz said she is concerned not only about the safety of inmates, but also of her staff — the public defenders who meet their clients in the jail and in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen Guneratne, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU of Northern California, said data on COVID-19 in jails is critical to ensuring an adequate public health response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an extreme vacuum of information in the county jail system,” Guneratne said. “The public needs to know about the risks jails are exposing members of their community to so they can protect themselves and those members.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Some Jails Providing Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Despite the lack of centralized data, some jail systems have reported large outbreaks on their websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Aug. 25, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department \u003ca href=\"https://lasd.org/covid19updates/\">reported\u003c/a> 3,133 COVID-19 infections among inmates and 826 among staff; the Orange County Sheriff’s Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocsd.org/about_ocsd/covid_19\">confirmed\u003c/a> in excess of 529 cases among the incarcerated and 166 positive tests among employees; and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedacountysheriff.org/admin_covid19.php\">reported\u003c/a> that 240 inmates and 53 employees tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corresponding by email on Aug. 25, Santa Clara County officials stated that 173 people incarcerated in the jails and 39 employees had tested positive for the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, which does not make COVID-19 data available on its website, initially sent out press releases about the quarantine and outbreak but later stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It stirs up hysteria when things become so data driven,” spokesman Botti wrote in a July 21 email to media outlets. \"Once we reach the point of where our mass quarantine has ended, we will make an announcement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public Defender Diaz said the Sheriff’s Office provides her office with information about COVID-19 cases at Fresno's Jail when prompted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ask the question and we get the answers. It’s not necessarily forthcoming,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to questions about transparency, Botti said, “I don’t agree that we have not been transparent with our COVID situation in the jail. We have regularly released numbers upon request to media members. We also proactively announced when we went into a large quarantine at the North Annex Jail due to a dozen inmates testing positive after a transfer to Wasco State Prison. We continued to provide regular updates of quarantine numbers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Botti said his office does not intend to publish COVID-19 numbers on its website, but that it will provide new jail-related numbers, on a weekly basis, upon request by media members.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Advocates Call for State Oversight\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After months of pressure from advocacy groups, California’s Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) launched \u003ca href=\"https://public.tableau.com/profile/kstevens#!/vizhome/BSCCCOVID-19inDetentionFacilitiesDashboard/Instructions\">a dashboard\u003c/a> on July 31 of COVID-19 data in local detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understand that the community has a great interest in this information,” said Linda Penner, who chairs the oversight board. “You'll be able to look at a county and, you know, with the click of a mouse, you'll be able to look at what happened last week and the week before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates say it does not illustrate the full scope of jail outbreaks in the state. The data does not include infections that occurred during the first four months of the pandemic, making it impossible to see the full size of each facility’s outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asking officials to provide virus data stretching back months “was a big lift for the counties when they are dealing with so many challenges related to the COVID-19 response,” wrote BSCC Director of Communications Tracie Cone in an Aug. 3 email. “Getting the cumulative numbers to date raised some concerns, specifically about accuracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But without the total counts, advocates say, the dashboard is inadequate. Brian Goldstein, Director of Policy with the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice says it’s the wrong decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians should be outraged,” Goldstein said. “The Board of State and Community Corrections remains willfully ignorant of conditions within jails and juvenile facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU’s Guneratne agreed. “It does not give us a very full picture of what is happening at the county levels to address the risk of contagion,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month after the dashboard’s launch, three counties — Amador, Sacramento, and Tehama — have yet to contribute to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Fresno County Ramps Up Testing\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said her department’s response to the outbreak has been limited by space and the number of individual cells available for isolating inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some jails have the ability to isolate inmates and quarantine them before they’re put into the general population. We don’t have that ability,” Mims said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno County’s jail has employed a system that quarantines groups of inmates together by color code — yellow for those with symptoms, orange for those known to have been exposed and red for those who tested positive — and then allows people to join the general population after 10 days of quarantine and three days of no symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since March, however, Mims said the jail population had dropped from roughly 3,000 to 2,100 inmates, thanks largely to an emergency order from the state’s Judicial Council setting \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.courts.ca.gov/news/judicial-council-adopts-new-rules-to-lower-jail-population-suspend-evictions-and-foreclosures\">bail at $0\u003c/a> for misdemeanors and lower-level felonies that was issued statewide in April and renewed locally in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduction in the incarcerated population made the jail’s color-coded quarantine system easier to carry out, Mims said, but she warned that the policy could backfire when it comes to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had plenty of those offenders re-offend, and they came back to the jail after being arrested again,” she said. “So it’s a two-sided coin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

ICE field office director David Jennings, who oversees the facility, said at the time they had no place to segregate detainees who refused testing or were confirmed positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The testing in Mesa Verde through this court’s intervention is a key difference between Mesa Verde and other detention centers in the country,” said Bree Bernwanger, with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, who represents detainees in the case. “It’s not only the social distancing that is now facilitated, but the fact that their status is being monitored … that’s just not happening elsewhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, as COVID-19 cases grew, Chhabria expanded his directive to include regular testing for about 130 staffers, such as guards and health care providers, who come in and out of the facility. The judge cited the high risk of virus transmission between the detention center and the surrounding community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, two staffers with GEO were confirmed with COVID-19.

The delay meant people who later were confirmed with COVID-19 slept in dorms with dozens of others, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They made all of these excuses about why they couldn’t use them, that it was too burdensome for their health care staff,” MacLean said. “If that is not a sign of callous disregard for the lives of people in their custody, I don’t know what is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An ICE spokesman declined to comment “due to pending litigation.” GEO also declined to provide more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11833932\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 840px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11833932\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/RS44334_IMG-20200810-WA0001_104405150868869-qut-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/RS44334_IMG-20200810-WA0001_104405150868869-qut-1.jpg 840w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/RS44334_IMG-20200810-WA0001_104405150868869-qut-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/RS44334_IMG-20200810-WA0001_104405150868869-qut-1-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hunger strikers gathered in the courtyard at the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center in Bakersfield on April 10, 2020 — as captured by drone. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Kern Youth Abolitionists)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Chhabria’s orders are in response to a lawsuit by detainees at Mesa Verde and another detention center north of Sacramento that was filed in April.

On Wednesday, Biden announced that their campaign had raised $26 million within the 24 hours of announcing Harris as his running mate.

But the economy continues to be battered by the coronavirus as the pace of rehiring slows and the national unemployment rate continues to hover above 10%. California’s economic outlook is particularly bleak, with an unemployment rate of nearly 15% in June and nearly 10 million unemployment claims processed since March. Congress remains at an impasse over extending unemployment benefits to millions of Americans that expired nearly two weeks ago. Meanwhile, tech behemoths such as Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Google posted strong quarterly earnings, indicating their resilience amid economic uncertainty and mass layoffs.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Robert Reich, professor of public policy, UC Berkeley, and former U.S. secretary of labor (1993 - 1997) \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Nabbing the Coronavirus Before It Can Do Harm\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, scientists at UCSF announced the early stage of what could become a promising new way to protect people from coronavirus infection until a vaccine is developed and readily available. In a lab, they engineered a tiny antibody, normally present in the immune systems of llamas and camels, to act like a molecular mousetrap by latching onto spikes that coronavirus molecules use to infect cells in the airways and pump out copies of the virus. With the spikes blocked, the coronavirus would then no longer be able to hijack cells, propagate inside the body and damage lungs and other organs. The scientists are calling their discovery “AeroNabs” and published their findings online as a preprint before being peer reviewed, a process which has become common recently to quickly disseminate coronavirus research to the broader scientific community. Unlike other COVID-19 treatments, AeroNabs could also be administered as a nasal spray or inhaler, and at home instead of a hospital. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aashish Manglik, MD PhD, assistant professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peter Walter, PhD, professor of biophysics and biochemistry, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Meanwhile, tech behemoths such as Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Google posted strong quarterly earnings, indicating their resilience amid economic uncertainty and mass layoffs.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Robert Reich, professor of public policy, UC Berkeley, and former U.S. secretary of labor (1993 - 1997) \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Nabbing the Coronavirus Before It Can Do Harm\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, scientists at UCSF announced the early stage of what could become a promising new way to protect people from coronavirus infection until a vaccine is developed and readily available. In a lab, they engineered a tiny antibody, normally present in the immune systems of llamas and camels, to act like a molecular mousetrap by latching onto spikes that coronavirus molecules use to infect cells in the airways and pump out copies of the virus. With the spikes blocked, the coronavirus would then no longer be able to hijack cells, propagate inside the body and damage lungs and other organs. The scientists are calling their discovery “AeroNabs” and published their findings online as a preprint before being peer reviewed, a process which has become common recently to quickly disseminate coronavirus research to the broader scientific community. Unlike other COVID-19 treatments, AeroNabs could also be administered as a nasal spray or inhaler, and at home instead of a hospital. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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

A grievance coordinator from that department had informed her that UCSF would not be providing her any more updates on her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwarz was told contact between inmate patients and family members goes against UCSF policy and she would need to go through San Quentin, but Schwarz knew that wasn’t correct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recorded call obtained by KQED, Schwarz asked the UCSF representative how her father was getting care without her permission. [aside tag=\"cdcr, san-quentin\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The representative replied that decisions about care for forensic patients — patients who are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections — are made by the institution they are incarcerated in. In this case, that would be San Quentin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frustrated, Schwarz added San Quentin Chief Medical Executive Dr. Elaine Tootell to the call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tootell asked the same question Schwarz had posed: “How do you make decisions for the patient?” Based on the recording, the UCSF representative said the decisions were “made by San Quentin, in this particular case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tootell, who’s been in her position for more than a decade, said, “Never will we ever make a decision for a patient, they have autonomy. And we’re not allowed to.” She added that “in every case, we always get the surrogate decision maker and we discuss with our incapacitated patients … and we always ask the family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tootell also said they’ve been asking for updates on Schwarz’s father every day but had yet to receive any from UCSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conference call ended with UCSF and Tootell agreeing to reconnect on their own to discuss matters. But the UCSF representative told Schwarz specifically not to reach out, saying UCSF officials “will not speak to you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Securing Approval from San Quentin\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSF resident Anjali Jacob was working in the ICU at the same time that Beisel was a patient there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said navigating the authorization process for other patients was difficult, and she was continually referred to different people within CDCR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"UCSF resident Anjali Jacob \"]‘It makes no sense that there are guards there, and it makes complete sense that these people should have Zoom visits.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacob said she couldn’t understand why CDCR wouldn’t just require outside hospitals to provide Zoom visitations, especially when the state agency would go to great lengths to monitor incarcerated patients — referring to the handcuffs used to shackle inmates to their beds and the number of guards overcrowding the ICU unit, two per patient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes no sense that there are guards there, and it makes complete sense that these people should have Zoom visits,” she said. “Why is one thing so heavily enforced? And one thing is just, there are no consequences if we don’t do it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/hippocratic-oath-today/\">the Hippocratic Oath\u003c/a>, doctors swear to treat all patients equally in care, but the handcuffs and the guards create a culture of fear in hospitals against incarcerated patients and their families, Jacob said, which can potentially lead to unequal treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re essentially asked to see them as dangerous,” Jacob said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their guards are watching their every move, even when they’re clearly very sick,” Jacob explained. “We’re told that we can’t tell them or their families when their discharge date will be for fear that they’ll plot an escape attempt. These are all things that are required by law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Jacob said there’s no medical evidence to prove that Zoom calls aid in the recovery process, she said virtual visits are “especially meaningful” for families during the pandemic. Many “want to spend as much time as possible with their loved one in case this hospitalization does represent the end of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether CDCR fights for incarcerated patients to have video visitations, CDCR said they couldn’t comment on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11833232\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11833232\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-800x1191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1191\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-800x1191.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-1020x1519.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-160x238.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad-1032x1536.jpg 1032w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/crop_fancy-dad.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alan Beisel died Thursday, Aug. 6. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of D'Wanda Schwarz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Last Transfer — Seton Medical Center\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around mid-July, Schwarz was able to get her father transferred to Seton Medical Center, where she was able to communicate with him through Zoom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Schwarz, doctors said her father was “incoherent and nonresponsive” during the 17 days he was intubated, but when he heard her voice through their first call at Seton, she said he opened his eyes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He blinked when I asked him to blink,” Schwartz said. “And when I had to tell him goodbye, he moved his lips as though he were trying to speak to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During her father’s time at Seton, Schwarz learned his body had become dependent on the machines, and when she asked him if he wanted to remain on them he shook his head no. “I asked him if he understood that meant he would not survive,” she said. “He shook his head yes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father, Alan Beisel, died Thursday, Aug. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

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

The agency is required to look into death or serious injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polizzi said both Cal/OSHA and officials with the county health department visited Foster Farms last week, and that the investigation will include “a detailed review of the employer’s safety policies to identify and correct violations, including a review of their COVID-19 infection prevention procedures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspectors have up to six months to issue citations and are likely to return to Foster Farms, Polizzi said. When the inspection is complete, it may result in citations with monetary penalties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outbreak at the plant is part of a spike in COVID-19 cases throughout Merced County and the rest of the San Joaquin Valley.

But he said no area of the plant has been unable to operate because of absent workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grossman said the union knows of two workers who had died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UFW has urged the county health department to have Foster Farms provide free testing to all plant workers every two weeks, Grossman said. Testing of 600 workers in the chicken packaging area of the plant began Wednesday, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Foster Farms has not responded to questions about the situation at the plant, it has posted a summary of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fosterfarms.com/our-story/safety-and-sustainability/\">steps it's taking\u003c/a> to safeguard worker health. The company says those measures include increasing daily sanitation and personal hygiene checks throughout the company's facilities, installing partitions in work spaces and break rooms and monitoring employees for fever and other symptoms of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that they’re trying,\" Grossman said. \"It’s a big challenge. It’s a huge burden when the community in which you’re located is experiencing such pervasive spread, community-wide spread, of the disease. It’s inevitable that when the community is seeing such widespread contagion, that a company this large where people are working indoors in close quarters that people are going to get sick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation at the plant has led to discussion among local officials about whether the plant could be shut down if the outbreak there worsens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have the authority in Livingston to just walk into Foster Farms.

In a phone interview with KQED in July, Merced County Health Officer Dr. Salvador Sandoval said he discussed with a Foster Farms official various options should the outbreak at the plant get “out of hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval said the official pointed to President Trump’s April \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-delegating-authority-dpa-respect-food-supply-chain-resources-national-emergency-caused-outbreak-covid-19/\">executive order\u003c/a> under the Defense Production Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines have been that, if people are positive, or have been exposed to someone that's positive on the line at a certain point, because of the Defense Production Act, that they might continue to work and not be quarantined, because of ... to maintain production,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ira Brill, Foster Farms' communications chief, disputed Sandoval's characterization through a company PR representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brill \"wanted to inform you that the information as described ... is not accurate and is taken out of context. The company will not participate further,\" Lorna Bush of San Francisco's Fineman PR said in a July 21 email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 29, a team from the Merced County Department of Public Health did a walkthrough of the plant, Sandoval said. During the site visit, he said, county officials noticed several \"problem areas.\" One was the length of plexiglass in the break rooms, which county officials did not consider to be extensive enough, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County officials recommended that all line workers at the plant be tested for coronavirus, Sandoval said. But plant officials said blanket testing could be difficult because some workers are temporary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That has to be taken into account — how that's going to be managed,\" Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The health officer said he was told that if the Livingston plant closed, Foster Farms would have to consider slaughtering 2 million chickens per week. Sandoval said he suggested freezing the chickens, but was told that the plant prides itself on having fresh chicken and that that is an important part of the company’s ability to compete with companies in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not surprised at the large numbers of cases we're hearing,\" said Deep Singh, executive director of the Jakara Movement, a Sikh community organizing group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Of course we're still alarmed, we're in shock, about the toll that takes on communities, on families and of course on individuals. We've been trying to have this conversation with Foster Farms since March. We really need an all hands-on approach to find a solution together, because otherwise this problem is just going to continue getting larger and affect more and more families in the area.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The agency is required to look into death or serious injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polizzi said both Cal/OSHA and officials with the county health department visited Foster Farms last week, and that the investigation will include “a detailed review of the employer’s safety policies to identify and correct violations, including a review of their COVID-19 infection prevention procedures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspectors have up to six months to issue citations and are likely to return to Foster Farms, Polizzi said. When the inspection is complete, it may result in citations with monetary penalties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outbreak at the plant is part of a spike in COVID-19 cases throughout Merced County and the rest of the San Joaquin Valley.

But he said no area of the plant has been unable to operate because of absent workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grossman said the union knows of two workers who had died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UFW has urged the county health department to have Foster Farms provide free testing to all plant workers every two weeks, Grossman said. Testing of 600 workers in the chicken packaging area of the plant began Wednesday, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Foster Farms has not responded to questions about the situation at the plant, it has posted a summary of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fosterfarms.com/our-story/safety-and-sustainability/\">steps it's taking\u003c/a> to safeguard worker health.

It’s a huge burden when the community in which you’re located is experiencing such pervasive spread, community-wide spread, of the disease. It’s inevitable that when the community is seeing such widespread contagion, that a company this large where people are working indoors in close quarters that people are going to get sick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation at the plant has led to discussion among local officials about whether the plant could be shut down if the outbreak there worsens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have the authority in Livingston to just walk into Foster Farms. We don’t have that. Only Cal/OSHA and the county does.

In a phone interview with KQED in July, Merced County Health Officer Dr. Salvador Sandoval said he discussed with a Foster Farms official various options should the outbreak at the plant get “out of hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval said the official pointed to President Trump’s April \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-delegating-authority-dpa-respect-food-supply-chain-resources-national-emergency-caused-outbreak-covid-19/\">executive order\u003c/a> under the Defense Production Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines have been that, if people are positive, or have been exposed to someone that's positive on the line at a certain point, because of the Defense Production Act, that they might continue to work and not be quarantined, because of ... to maintain production,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ira Brill, Foster Farms' communications chief, disputed Sandoval's characterization through a company PR representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brill \"wanted to inform you that the information as described ... is not accurate and is taken out of context. The company will not participate further,\" Lorna Bush of San Francisco's Fineman PR said in a July 21 email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 29, a team from the Merced County Department of Public Health did a walkthrough of the plant, Sandoval said. During the site visit, he said, county officials noticed several \"problem areas.\" One was the length of plexiglass in the break rooms, which county officials did not consider to be extensive enough, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County officials recommended that all line workers at the plant be tested for coronavirus, Sandoval said. But plant officials said blanket testing could be difficult because some workers are temporary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That has to be taken into account — how that's going to be managed,\" Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The health officer said he was told that if the Livingston plant closed, Foster Farms would have to consider slaughtering 2 million chickens per week. Sandoval said he suggested freezing the chickens, but was told that the plant prides itself on having fresh chicken and that that is an important part of the company’s ability to compete with companies in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not surprised at the large numbers of cases we're hearing,\" said Deep Singh, executive director of the Jakara Movement, a Sikh community organizing group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
