I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom laid out strict new criteria Friday for school reopenings in California, making it unlikely that the vast majority of public and private K-12 schools throughout the state, serving millions of students, will be able to start the academic year with in-person classroom instruction, amid surging cases of the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Newsom's order, schools located in counties on the state’s “\u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap-counties/#track-data\">watchlist\u003c/a>” for high per capita infection and hospitalization rates, among other indicators, are not allowed to hold in-person classes until they have been off the list for at least 14 days. Currently, 33 counties — home to more than 80% of the state — are on that list, including every county in the Bay Area except San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Gov. Gavin Newsom\"]'Our students, our teachers, staff and certainly parents, we all prefer in-classroom instruction for all the obvious reasons, but only if it can be done safely.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you are not on that monitoring list you can move forward as a county if you choose to physically open your campus, physically open your schools,” Newsom said at a noon press briefing. “However schools that don’t meet this requirement — they must begin the school year this fall through distance learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strict new regulations marked a dramatic shift from Newsom’s earlier position that it was up to local school districts and boards to decide when and how to reopen. The announcement, which follows \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/california-counties-reopening.html\">his sweeping rollback\u003c/a> Monday of plans to reopen businesses, comes just weeks before many of the state’s more than 1,000 school districts are set to resume instruction in mid-to-late August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As school districts wrestle with the decision, teachers unions, parents and school officials have urged state leaders to provide more direction on whether it is safe to go back to school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California this week reported its second-highest one-day totals in new infections and deaths since the start of the pandemic, with an average of 8,838 positive cases a day over the last week and a 22% increase in hospitalizations in the past 14 days. More than 7,500 people in California have died from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, including over 1,100 in just the last two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A father of four young children, Newsom acknowledged the difficulty this situation will create for scores of schools, students and working parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students, our teachers, staff and certainly parents, we all prefer in-classroom instruction for all the obvious reasons, but only if it can be done safely,” Newsom said, noting the more than 6 million students and 625,000 teachers and other staff members in California’s public schools. “But safety is foundational and safety will ultimately make the determination of how we go about educating our kids as we move into the fall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://files.covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-schools.pdf\">updated guidance\u003c/a> from the state Department of Public Health lays out in detail the rules that both public and private schools throughout the state must follow when they reopen. It requires all school staff and all students in third through 12th grades to wear face coverings. Younger students are also encouraged to wear them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All adults in schools will also be required to stay six feet away from one another and six feet away from children, while students should be encouraged to maintain that same distance from each other whenever possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone entering a school must be temperature checked, and any teachers or students with a fever or other symptoms have to be sent home immediately. Staff members must also be tested for the virus on a rotating basis, with school sites required to make ample hand-washing stations available and implement other ”deep sanitation, deep disinfection” measures Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state guidance also spells out when classrooms and schools would be required to close if there is a local outbreak. If a student or educator tests positive for the virus, all students and staff exposed to that person should be quarantined for 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, an entire school would have to revert to distance learning if multiple cases are reported, or if 5% percent of students and staff test positive within a 14-day period. And an entire district would have to revert to distance learning if 25% or more of its schools have been physically closed due to COVID-19 within a 14-day period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The one thing we have the power to do to get our kids back into school? Wear a mask, physically distance, wash your hands,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom emphasized that schools “must provide meaningful instruction during the pandemic, whether they are physically opened or not.” He called for “rigorous online and distance learning,” while also noting the formidable challenges many schools faced in the spring, particularly in regard to technology resources and internet connectivity issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Access to devices is one thing, and connectivity, it's foundational,” Newsom said, pointing to funds still available from a $5.3 billion package passed last spring that districts could access to \"address this yawning gap as it relates to the digital divide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want daily live interaction with teachers and other students, students connecting peer-to-peer with other students, teachers connecting daily and an interactive frame to advance our distance learning efforts,” Newsom said. Schools, he added, must also make specific remote learning accommodations for students with special needs, including homeless and foster care students, those with learning disabilities and English language learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re going to see a lot more capacity this school year than we were able to have in all districts last school year, to really respond to both classrooms as a whole and the needs of particular students,” State Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s administration and the state Department of Education had released guidelines in early June for districts to follow when reopening, including implementing temperature checks for students, remaking activities such as lunch and recess and recommending cloth face coverings for students and teachers. But at that time, California had managed to keep its COVID-19 case count under control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since we’ve issued our guidance, conditions have changed dramatically,” State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said during a media briefing Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley from Sacramento accused the governor of listening to “special interests, not science\" in laying out the rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rather than adopting a balanced approach that provides California families options for classroom-based and home-based learning, the governor is shutting down the vast majority of schools across the state,\" Kiley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more education coverage\" tag=\"education\"]A growing number of large school districts have already said their schools will begin the new term remotely, including Los Angeles and San Diego, the state’s two largest districts, with a combined enrollment of 720,000 K-12 students. San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Sacramento, Long Beach, Santa Ana and San Bernardino are among the other districts that recently announced they would not immediately return to classrooms for the fall semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Education officials in a growing number of cities nationwide, including Atlanta, Nashville and Houston, have also recently announced plans to start the academic year remotely, despite ongoing pressure from President Trump and some Republican governors to open up classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm generally happy with this. What the governor did today was establish a consistent set of criteria across local health jurisdictions that will lead, I think, to more consistent decision making across the state,” said Berkeley Unified Superintendent Brent Stephens. He expressed concern, though, that there would not be nearly enough state and federal funding available to provide districts with the necessary resources for effective distance learning and ongoing COVID-19 testing of school staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Freitas, president of the the California Federation of Teachers, which has urged Newsom to delay the physical reopening of all schools this fall, said the order doesn't go far enough in protecting teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The guidance allows for millions of students, teachers, and classified education professionals to remain in harm’s way,” he said in a statement. “Unfortunately, (it) allows for some districts to continue to operate in dangerous conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashley Jones, a fifth-grade teacher in the Twin Rivers Unified School District outside Sacramento, said she was relieved to find out the school year will start with distance learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don’t quite understand that schools and classrooms are honestly a cesspool of germs,” said Jones, who has Type 1 diabetes and is considered high risk. “It’s not like you’re in the office with a bunch of adults who know not to sneeze on each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article includes additional reporting from the Associated Press and KQED's Vanessa Rancaño and Julia McEvoy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

More than 7,500 people in California have died from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, including over 1,100 in just the last two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A father of four young children, Newsom acknowledged the difficulty this situation will create for scores of schools, students and working parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students, our teachers, staff and certainly parents, we all prefer in-classroom instruction for all the obvious reasons, but only if it can be done safely,” Newsom said, noting the more than 6 million students and 625,000 teachers and other staff members in California’s public schools. “But safety is foundational and safety will ultimately make the determination of how we go about educating our kids as we move into the fall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://files.covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-schools.pdf\">updated guidance\u003c/a> from the state Department of Public Health lays out in detail the rules that both public and private schools throughout the state must follow when they reopen. It requires all school staff and all students in third through 12th grades to wear face coverings. Younger students are also encouraged to wear them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All adults in schools will also be required to stay six feet away from one another and six feet away from children, while students should be encouraged to maintain that same distance from each other whenever possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone entering a school must be temperature checked, and any teachers or students with a fever or other symptoms have to be sent home immediately. Staff members must also be tested for the virus on a rotating basis, with school sites required to make ample hand-washing stations available and implement other ”deep sanitation, deep disinfection” measures Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state guidance also spells out when classrooms and schools would be required to close if there is a local outbreak. If a student or educator tests positive for the virus, all students and staff exposed to that person should be quarantined for 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, an entire school would have to revert to distance learning if multiple cases are reported, or if 5% percent of students and staff test positive within a 14-day period. And an entire district would have to revert to distance learning if 25% or more of its schools have been physically closed due to COVID-19 within a 14-day period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The one thing we have the power to do to get our kids back into school? Wear a mask, physically distance, wash your hands,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom emphasized that schools “must provide meaningful instruction during the pandemic, whether they are physically opened or not.” He called for “rigorous online and distance learning,” while also noting the formidable challenges many schools faced in the spring, particularly in regard to technology resources and internet connectivity issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Access to devices is one thing, and connectivity, it's foundational,” Newsom said, pointing to funds still available from a $5.3 billion package passed last spring that districts could access to \"address this yawning gap as it relates to the digital divide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want daily live interaction with teachers and other students, students connecting peer-to-peer with other students, teachers connecting daily and an interactive frame to advance our distance learning efforts,” Newsom said. Schools, he added, must also make specific remote learning accommodations for students with special needs, including homeless and foster care students, those with learning disabilities and English language learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re going to see a lot more capacity this school year than we were able to have in all districts last school year, to really respond to both classrooms as a whole and the needs of particular students,” State Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s administration and the state Department of Education had released guidelines in early June for districts to follow when reopening, including implementing temperature checks for students, remaking activities such as lunch and recess and recommending cloth face coverings for students and teachers. But at that time, California had managed to keep its COVID-19 case count under control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since we’ve issued our guidance, conditions have changed dramatically,” State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said during a media briefing Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley from Sacramento accused the governor of listening to “special interests, not science\" in laying out the rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rather than adopting a balanced approach that provides California families options for classroom-based and home-based learning, the governor is shutting down the vast majority of schools across the state,\" Kiley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She says having to adjust to unfamiliar digital devices, and navigate platforms like Zoom and Google Classroom, has made the transition to distance learning rough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonilla’s family received two laptops through the program, which they will get to keep, so her kids won’t have to continue taking turns using the single tablet borrowed from the school district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829280\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11829280 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43884_IMG_2889-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland REACH organizers in East Oakland last month handing out laptops and other summer school supplies to the families of Oakland students. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Rancaño/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The summer school program is part of Oakland REACH’s broader \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandreach.org/the-oakland-reach-city-wide-virtual-hub/\">City-Wide Virtual Hub initiative,\u003c/a> which pairs families with liaisons to help them navigate the educational supports and “create a culture of distance learning” at home, Young says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The liaisons are also trained to help connect parents to housing and employment services. “Our families are sometimes stressed with two critical pieces of life — disrupting intergenerational poverty and the school-to-prison pipeline for their children and trying to just survive,” Young says. “This solution has to integrate both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Wealthy donors, especially these days, are typically steered into something else: a financial vehicle called a donor-advised fund (DAF).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nptrust.org/reports/daf-report/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Philanthropic Trust\u003c/a>, the national pool of assets parked in DAFs clocked in at a whopping $121.42 billion in 2018. Charitable grants issued from that stash last year? Just $23.42 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discrepancy between those two numbers has led to heated public debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If donors get the tax benefit of a charitable donation to a DAF in the tax year they donate, shouldn’t they be directing the organizations that manage their DAFs to give all that money away in the same year? Or much of it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opinions vary, but in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting recession — and a nationwide reckoning over racism and social justice in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd — the DAF world has been under increased pressure to deliver more now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Buffy Wicks, East Bay assemblywoman\"]‘If you look at the challenges our communities are facing, if you look at the health impacts of COVID-19 to communities of color in particular, if you look at what is happening to our society, today is the day to spend the money.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘I Was Overwhelmed’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David and Jennifer Risher of San Francisco made their money with Amazon and Microsoft, and they readily admit they got into to a donor advised fund years before they gave much thought to how they wanted to use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we opened the first DAF in 2002,” said Jennifer Risher. “I was overwhelmed. Like, what do I do? How do I do it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When David Risher founded a nonprofit called \u003ca href=\"https://www.worldreader.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Worldreader\u003c/a>, aimed at getting 1 billion children reading digitally, they got to see the world of nonprofit funding from the other side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In an era when there is enormous potential for nonprofits to address the world’s biggest problems, DAFs are keeping funds from getting to the people who need them the most,” he wrote in an editorial on \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/youve-given-donor-advised-fund-great-now-finish-job-david-risher/?articleId=6625843233681354752\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn\u003c/a>, called “You’ve Given to a Donor Advised Fund. Great! Now, Finish the Job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Giving Tuesday last May, the couple launched an initiative designed to challenge other DAF holders to finish the job. They called it \u003ca href=\"https://www.halfmydaf.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#HalfMyDAF\u003c/a>. The Rishers promised to match up to $1 million, through their personal DAF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You give money to your nonprofits, you let us know, and then, as many as we can, we’re going to give to match,” David Risher said. “So the first round is July 15. The second round is September 30.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of June 12, they got 72 people and couples to commit to giving, and a few others to commit to matching those grants. Total so far? Roughly $2.9 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why are the Rishers doing this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rainy day is here,” said Jennifer Risher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve also been reading the news articles and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/zombie-philanthropy-the-rich-have-stashed-billions-in-donor-advised-charities--but-its-not-reaching-those-in-need/2020/06/23/6a1b397a-af3a-11ea-856d-5054296735e5_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">opinion pieces\u003c/a> in recent years that argue DAFs have become a form of “zombie philanthropy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DAFs are easy to set up with sponsoring organizations ranging from Wall Street giants like \u003ca href=\"https://www.fidelitycharitable.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fidelity Charitable\u003c/a> to community foundations and universities. You can park unconventional assets like pre-IPO stock or cryptocurrencies in them, which explains why DAFs are popular among Silicon Valley’s elite. You get the tax break in the year you move your money into the DAF, but you don’t have to tell your DAF manager right away where you want the money to go: schools, food banks, whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no legal deadline, which troubles East Bay Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the people unemployed right now, if you look at the evictions that are going to be taking place, if you look at the challenges that our communities are facing, if you look at the health impacts of COVID-19 to communities of color in particular, if you look at what is happening to our society, today is the day to spend the money,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Coronavirus Coverage' tag='coronavirus']She is pushing a bill co-sponsored by \u003ca href=\"https://calnonprofits.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CalNonprofits\u003c/a>, among others, that would codify the legal definition of a DAF and require the state attorney general’s office to establish a classification for sponsoring organizations. That’s it: just to lay the groundwork for future regulation, that might be the inspiration or impetus for change at the federal level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But modest as \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB2936\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AB 2936\u003c/a> is, the \u003ca href=\"https://lccf.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">League of California Community Foundations\u003c/a> is opposed. The group’s 30 members have just over 7,200 donor-advised funds under management with about $10 billion in assets, though not evenly distributed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One community foundation in particular dominates that scene.

How do I do it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When David Risher founded a nonprofit called \u003ca href=\"https://www.worldreader.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Worldreader\u003c/a>, aimed at getting 1 billion children reading digitally, they got to see the world of nonprofit funding from the other side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In an era when there is enormous potential for nonprofits to address the world’s biggest problems, DAFs are keeping funds from getting to the people who need them the most,” he wrote in an editorial on \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/youve-given-donor-advised-fund-great-now-finish-job-david-risher/?articleId=6625843233681354752\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn\u003c/a>, called “You’ve Given to a Donor Advised Fund. Great! Now, Finish the Job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Giving Tuesday last May, the couple launched an initiative designed to challenge other DAF holders to finish the job. They called it \u003ca href=\"https://www.halfmydaf.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#HalfMyDAF\u003c/a>. The Rishers promised to match up to $1 million, through their personal DAF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You give money to your nonprofits, you let us know, and then, as many as we can, we’re going to give to match,” David Risher said. “So the first round is July 15. The second round is September 30.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of June 12, they got 72 people and couples to commit to giving, and a few others to commit to matching those grants. Total so far?

Nationally, Latinos make up 35% of the positive cases, and are 18% of the population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California physicians who treat Latino families said they were not surprised to see their littlest patients reflected in the case numbers, given their parents’ jobs and housing conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The good news is that most of those children seem to be doing clinically fine. Most are not getting hospitalized or need step-up supportive care,” said Dr. Zarin Tejani, a pediatrician at Venice Family Clinic. “What we are seeing is they are getting sick from someone in their home they are exposed to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But physicians worry that if the numbers continue to climb, some children could be severely affected. A rare post-infection multisystem inflammatory syndrome has been detected in a growing number of children across the country that has been connected to coronavirus infection. Kids who get the syndrome are landing in the hospital with symptoms that include fever, rash and abdominal pain. If not properly treated, a child’s heart and major organs can be damaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the Department of Public Health said it does not receive information from counties regarding all of the children who have been hospitalized. Of the data it has received, 143 children who tested positive were hospitalized. Of those, 95— or 66%— were Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we have more kids who become positive, my concern is it’s a matter of time before we may see increasing deaths in our younger population and that may include kids,” said Dr. Shunling Tsang, Associate Medical Director of Quality for Riverside University Health System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos are not genetically predisposed to the virus but the circumstances of their lives expose them to coronavirus more than other groups, said Dr. Margarita Loeza, a family physician at the Venice Family Clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The poorest will carry the burden of disease,” she said. “Our country is set up so unjustly that this is where we are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Latinos work in low-paying fields that require attendance—service and restaurant jobs, farm work, factories and health care jobs—placing them more at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While not all Latinos live in poverty, many struggle to make ends meet and even more have been pushed to the financial brink since the pandemic began. According to a survey in April by the Pew Research Center, about half of Latinos report that they or someone in their household lost a job or experienced a pay cut since the pandemic began, compared to a third of all adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Joanna, who asked that her last name not be used, coronavirus came home with her husband, who works in construction in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her 18-month-old daughter tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She started with a fever, and because her dad only had what we thought was a stomach bug, I thought the fever was from her teething,” Joanna said. “It was very scary because then she had two seizures and I had to take her to the emergency room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her 3-year-old has been symptom-free and Joanna is trying to keep it that way by keeping the children apart, wearing a mask and disinfecting their home regularly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research is showing that, among those getting sick, going to work is the biggest factor. A study in San Francisco’s Mission District, conducted by the University of California, San Francisco, with community organizations, tested 3,000 people—-about 44% of whom were Latino. The results showed that Latinos accounted for nearly all of the infections, and nearly all of them said they could not work from home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The virus exploits pre-existing vulnerabilities in our society,” said Dr. Diane Havlir, chief of the UCSF Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those vulnerabilities is housing conditions, Aguilar-Gaxiola said. Latino families may live in multigenerational households or share apartments with other families, making social distancing and self-isolation non-existent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some families are able to separate or stay with other relatives, but it’s rare, hard to do and causes increased stress, said Michelle Aguilar, a pediatrician at Venice Family Clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no way to do ideal isolation in shared homes, multiple family members sharing a single room or multigenerational housing,” Aguilar said. “It’s so many layers of difficulty and stress that this pandemic has brought to our families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A study by the Public Policy Institute of California in May found that essential workers who could not work at home more often live in crowded housing. And it is more common among Latinos, especially those working in farming and food preparation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Santiago’s husband was diagnosed— and their 8-month-old son later tested positive—- her husband would sleep in the living room. She took the bedroom with the four children, but maintaining distance in a one-bedroom apartment has been difficult. If their three older children test negative, Santiago said they will stay with her sister until the rest of the family is in the clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the state focuses on the rising number of cases, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new public service awareness campaign on Thursday. It includes TV and radio spots in Spanish and other languages, as well as billboards to encourage people to wear masks and maintain distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some county health officials are also ramping up efforts to reach Latinos, especially in Spanish, said Christine Ramsey, spokeswoman for Riverside University Health System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riverside has already been doing outreach via Spanish public service announcements on television and radio and via billboards and now intends to intensify those efforts. More recently, the county launched an electronic Spanish weekly newsletter related to COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having that information could be critical, given another factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos have a higher rate of chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, asthma and other conditions that lead to more complications when layered with COVID-19, said Aguilar-Gaxiola, who called the confluence a “perfect storm.”[aside tag=\"covid-19\" label=\"More coronavirus coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is also true for kids. Latino children have a higher risk of developing diabetes and obesity, which could create complications if they are infected, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While no Latino minors have died of the disease in California, young adults and those of parenting age have become critically ill and died, leaving children without parents, Aguilar-Gaxiola said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos 18 to 34 make up 58% of the positive cases and nearly a third of the deaths, despite being 45 percent of Californians in this age group. And among 35- to 49-year-olds, Latinos make up 59% of the cases and more than three-quarters of the deaths, while only accounting for 41 percent of Californians this age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When 30-year-old Joanna was so sick with chills, a headache, fatigue and weakness, she took days off working from home to stay in bed. She said she wondered what would happen if the virus took a turn for the worst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You worry about your kids, you wonder what is going to happen to them if something happens,” she said. “As a mother, I know no one is going to take care of my kids better than I can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And it is more common among Latinos, especially those working in farming and food preparation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Santiago’s husband was diagnosed— and their 8-month-old son later tested positive—- her husband would sleep in the living room. She took the bedroom with the four children, but maintaining distance in a one-bedroom apartment has been difficult. If their three older children test negative, Santiago said they will stay with her sister until the rest of the family is in the clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the state focuses on the rising number of cases, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new public service awareness campaign on Thursday. It includes TV and radio spots in Spanish and other languages, as well as billboards to encourage people to wear masks and maintain distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some county health officials are also ramping up efforts to reach Latinos, especially in Spanish, said Christine Ramsey, spokeswoman for Riverside University Health System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riverside has already been doing outreach via Spanish public service announcements on television and radio and via billboards and now intends to intensify those efforts. More recently, the county launched an electronic Spanish weekly newsletter related to COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having that information could be critical, given another factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos have a higher rate of chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, asthma and other conditions that lead to more complications when layered with COVID-19, said Aguilar-Gaxiola, who called the confluence a “perfect storm.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
