They’ll confront two historic challenges: the COVID-19 pandemic and some of the most restrictive immigration policies this nation has seen in decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has blamed foreigners for the virus, and closed the borders to all kinds of immigrants. President Trump has referred to coronavirus as “foreign” and called it “kung flu” at his rallies. And last week, his administration suspended green cards and visas for many foreign guest workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, of course, it might be disheartening for some to hear statements like that — that they’re not welcome,” Ali said. “But right now as far as I’m concerned, they do not affect me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, new Trump administration restrictions on immigration do not affect Ali and other incoming residents. The administration exempted health care workers from the new restrictions announced last week — as long as they’re needed for the coronavirus response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration says it’s trying to put American workers first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At a time of double-digit unemployment, the president is seeking to ensure that Americans aren’t facing what domestically feels like unfair competition,” said Ken Cuccinelli, a top immigration official at the Department of Homeland Security, during a call with reporters this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it comes to health care, the U.S. depends on foreign labor. Almost \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/immigrant-health-care-workers-united-states\">30% of doctors are immigrants\u003c/a>. It’s been a symbiotic relationship: doctors come here to get top-notch training, and U.S. hospitals get access to the brightest minds in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The teaching programs want to have the best people. … because they know that the public deserves having the best people caring for them,” said Dr. William Pinsky, the head of the\u003ca href=\"https://www.ecfmg.org/\"> Educational Commission For Foreign Medical Graduates\u003c/a>, which helps vet foreign doctors for residencies in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinsky’s group also helps foreign doctors navigate the U.S. immigration system. That’s been even harder than usual this year, because the coronavirus disrupted most visa processing at U.S. consulates and embassies overseas. Pinsky credits the State Department for ensuring that most of these international doctors were still able to get to the U.S. in time to start their residencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They understand the importance of having these international physicians come here,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic shuttered immigration offices inside the U.S as well, creating enormous challenges for international doctors already working here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The uncertainty has been really stressful the last couple of months,” said Dr. Chandana Kamireddy, a native of India who was living in Ohio with her husband and their 20 month old child when the pandemic hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was actually on the front line taking care of COVID patients as an attending physician at my hospital where I was working,” Kamireddy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamireddy was supposed to move to Tennessee to start a fellowship in oncology this month. In order to change jobs, Kamireddy needed to get a different visa. But the offices U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which would typically handle visa changes, were closed to the public. And time was running out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Kamireddy heard from other foreign doctors on Facebook that the U.S. consulate in Mexico was open for visa interviews. So she got on a plane to Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not here as a tourist,” she said in an interview from her hotel room in Mexico City. “I’m just taking a chance right now, like traveling outside of the country and then trying to get my visa as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamireddy did get her visa. A few days later, the White House announced its \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/06/20/881245867/trump-expected-to-suspend-h-1b-other-visas-until-end-of-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new proclamation limiting foreign guests workers and immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That proclamation exempted the visa program used by doctors coming here for residency training. But immigration lawyers say it’s unclear if international specialists and doctors who have completed their training will be able to get H-1B visas under the new restrictions unless they are treating patients with COVID, or are involved in research on the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s it’s like to be treating American patients at a time when the Trump administration is doubling down on its immigration crackdown?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamireddy said it was difficult for her family – and the hospital in Tennessee, where she’s starting her fellowship today. “It was stressful for them as well, because they didn’t know if I was going to be starting on time or not,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From his new home in Texas, Ali also said he doesn’t believe that the president speaks for all Americans. Ali says his hospital is glad to have him, and he’s eager to get to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do still have a lot of hope,” Ali said, “because the view of one person does not, at least for me, color the view of the people that I get to meet and interact with everyday, like the patients and my co-workers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

The administration exempted health care workers from the new restrictions announced last week — as long as they’re needed for the coronavirus response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration says it’s trying to put American workers first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At a time of double-digit unemployment, the president is seeking to ensure that Americans aren’t facing what domestically feels like unfair competition,” said Ken Cuccinelli, a top immigration official at the Department of Homeland Security, during a call with reporters this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it comes to health care, the U.S. depends on foreign labor. Almost \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/immigrant-health-care-workers-united-states\">30% of doctors are immigrants\u003c/a>. It’s been a symbiotic relationship: doctors come here to get top-notch training, and U.S. hospitals get access to the brightest minds in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The teaching programs want to have the best people. … because they know that the public deserves having the best people caring for them,” said Dr. William Pinsky, the head of the\u003ca href=\"https://www.ecfmg.org/\"> Educational Commission For Foreign Medical Graduates\u003c/a>, which helps vet foreign doctors for residencies in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinsky’s group also helps foreign doctors navigate the U.S. immigration system. That’s been even harder than usual this year, because the coronavirus disrupted most visa processing at U.S. consulates and embassies overseas. Pinsky credits the State Department for ensuring that most of these international doctors were still able to get to the U.S. in time to start their residencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They understand the importance of having these international physicians come here,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic shuttered immigration offices inside the U.S as well, creating enormous challenges for international doctors already working here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The uncertainty has been really stressful the last couple of months,” said Dr. Chandana Kamireddy, a native of India who was living in Ohio with her husband and their 20 month old child when the pandemic hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was actually on the front line taking care of COVID patients as an attending physician at my hospital where I was working,” Kamireddy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamireddy was supposed to move to Tennessee to start a fellowship in oncology this month. In order to change jobs, Kamireddy needed to get a different visa. But the offices U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which would typically handle visa changes, were closed to the public. And time was running out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Kamireddy heard from other foreign doctors on Facebook that the U.S. consulate in Mexico was open for visa interviews. So she got on a plane to Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not here as a tourist,” she said in an interview from her hotel room in Mexico City. “I’m just taking a chance right now, like traveling outside of the country and then trying to get my visa as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamireddy did get her visa. A few days later, the White House announced its \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/06/20/881245867/trump-expected-to-suspend-h-1b-other-visas-until-end-of-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new proclamation limiting foreign guests workers and immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That proclamation exempted the visa program used by doctors coming here for residency training. But immigration lawyers say it’s unclear if international specialists and doctors who have completed their training will be able to get H-1B visas under the new restrictions unless they are treating patients with COVID, or are involved in research on the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s it’s like to be treating American patients at a time when the Trump administration is doubling down on its immigration crackdown?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamireddy said it was difficult for her family – and the hospital in Tennessee, where she’s starting her fellowship today. “It was stressful for them as well, because they didn’t know if I was going to be starting on time or not,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From his new home in Texas, Ali also said he doesn’t believe that the president speaks for all Americans. Ali says his hospital is glad to have him, and he’s eager to get to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do still have a lot of hope,” Ali said, “because the view of one person does not, at least for me, color the view of the people that I get to meet and interact with everyday, like the patients and my co-workers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

It’s a dangerous mix: socializing in large groups, sometimes in tight spaces and drinking, which lowers inhibitions and makes it less likely they’ll follow pandemic precautions like wearing masks and practicing good hygiene. Plus party-goers end up talking loudly, which only increases the chance of spraying virus-laden particles on other guests, especially indoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really hard to wear a mask in a bar.

Bottom line: Watch out for parties or bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These settings tend to lead to a breakdown of the very behaviors that help prevent new infections. It’s a dangerous mix: socializing in large groups, sometimes in tight spaces and drinking, which lowers inhibitions and makes it less likely they’ll follow pandemic precautions like wearing masks and practicing good hygiene. Plus party-goers end up talking loudly, which only increases the chance of spraying virus-laden particles on other guests, especially indoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really hard to wear a mask in a bar. It’s hard to stay six feet apart. It’s hard to constantly wash your hands and not touch surfaces other people have touched,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/thomas-tsai/\">Dr. Thomas Tsai\u003c/a>, a professor at Harvard University’s T. H. Chan School of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you or those you live with are high risk, or you live in a place with a lot of community spread right now (\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/07/01/885263658/green-yellow-orange-or-red-this-new-tool-shows-covid-19-risk-in-your-county\">look up your state or county here\u003c/a>), it’s probably best to sit out any situation where you will be drinking in a group.

The travel ban barred him and other foreigners from entering the United States if they had been in any of the 26 banned countries during the previous 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted life in innumerable ways — with major tragedies such as job loss, illness and death, as well as less drastic aggravations, including canceled summer vacations, uncertain school plans, and the inability to be close to family and friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Countless American couples have had to rethink their wedding plans, as social distancing requirements have shut down hotels, restaurants and other venues. But for those getting married to a sweetheart from a different country, the pandemic has caused even greater obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the virus began surging early this year, Trump announced a series of increasingly stringent travel restrictions against other countries. In January, any foreigner who had been in China was \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-2019-novel-coronavirus/\">banned\u003c/a> from entry into the U.S. A month later, the ban was extended to Iran. As COVID-19 took hold in Europe, travel from those countries was prohibited in mid-March. At the end of May, \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-novel-coronavirus/\">Brazil\u003c/a> was included in the travel ban. At the same time, the Trump administration has halted most work visas and new green cards for would-be immigrants outside the U.S. through the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"travel-ban\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is not the only nation shielding itself from the outside. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-travel-restrictions.html\">Countries around the world\u003c/a> have imposed restrictions or completely shut their borders, in an attempt to curb the spread of the disease. And with no cure in sight, it’s unclear when those borders will open again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some analysts believe Trump and other world leaders are using COVID-19 as a pretext to close borders. A crisis like this allows governments to advance agendas in ways they could not in normal times, says Muzaffar Chishti, a senior fellow with the Migration Policy Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're not surprised that immigration restrictions are being put in place, because they have been part of the President's narrative almost since he took office and certainly during his campaign,” said Chishti. “The instinct in this administration is to be more careful. There is much more emphasis on screening people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Malakoff, 19, and Schmidt, 23, learned of the travel restrictions on March 11, they still had hope. The ban wouldn’t take effect until Friday, which would give Schmidt 48 hours to make the trip from Germany to the U.S. But then they realized he would only be able to enter as a tourist. His K-1 “fiance” visa hadn’t yet been approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and without it, the government wouldn’t allow him to become a legal permanent resident based on their marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11827317\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11827317 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany.\" width=\"640\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-800x790.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1536x1517.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Savannah Malakoff)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So Schmidt reluctantly canceled his plane ticket and the couple postponed the wedding. The florist returned their money and so did the men’s clothing store where Schmidt was purchasing his suit. The hotel for the honeymoon offered a credit, not a refund, one they hope to eventually cash in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My wedding dress we’re keeping, of course,” said Malakoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 25,000 people were admitted on K-1 visas in 2018, based on the most recent data available, though the number \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2018/table25\">dropped by 35%\u003c/a> from just two years earlier. Couples like Malakoff and Schmidt have to pass a \u003ca href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html#6\">rigorous review\u003c/a> in order to obtain the visa. In addition to providing police records, a medical examination and evidence of financial support, they need to show that their relationship is real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proving they were in love wasn’t hard for the young couple. They met at a bible school in Quebec in late 2017 and started dating the following summer. They stayed in touch when they returned to their respective countries and visited back and forth for the next two years, staying with each others’ families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They require you to write out your whole love story with every detail to show that it's an authentic relationship,” Malakoff recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her it included presenting photos, private text messages and boarding passes from their flights to visit each other. “People say that you do crazy things for love. But [you’ll do it] if that's what it takes,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Malakoff about a month to complete the petition, which she submitted in early December. Many couples hire an immigration lawyer to help fill out the form, something she and Schmidt couldn’t afford. She’s taking college classes and teaching math, and he worked in sales for a construction machinery business in Germany. The fiance visa petition alone cost \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f\">$535\u003c/a>, plus another $265 for Schmidt’s travel document and additional fees for things like his medical exam, birth certificate, passport and document translation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Antonello Russo\"]'I think you just need to understand that there’s nothing you can really do. It’s beyond your control.

Once Schmidt arrives in the U.S., they will have 90 days to tie the knot. But as long as the travel ban remains, they are still in limbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The uncertainty is just extremely difficult for us,” said Schmidt by phone from his village outside Siegen, a university town in central Germany. “If we at least knew that the [COVID-19] restrictions would be over in three months or in half a year, that would make things much easier.” It has been eight months since he and Malakoff saw each other last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Couples all over the world find themselves in similar circumstances.

The fiance petition was approved in late March, but it will expire July 26. And as long as international travel restrictions are in place, Schmidt still can’t enter the U.S. If the petition expires, they’ll have to file paperwork all over again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We finally have permission,” said Malakoff. “The only thing standing in our way now is this travel ban.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Malakoff and Schmidt, the wedding was supposed to be the starting point of a life together in California.

Now, more than 1,000 people incarcerated there have tested positive for the virus and one inmate has died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The now major outbreak at San Quentin threatens the incarcerated people and staff there, but also Bay Area hospitals and residents,” said state Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, who called for the informational hearing before the senate public safety committee on the spreading COVID-19 crisis in prisons. “The decision to transfer incarcerated people from a prison with one of the worst outbreaks — Chino — to San Quentin, which at that point had no known cases, raises significant questions about CDCR’s handling of this crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Inadequate Prisoner Testing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Health care in California’s prisons has been under the control of a federal court for nearly two decades in the wake of a lawsuit over a rash of preventable deaths in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late May, the court-appointed receiver in charge of making improvements to inmate health care approved the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823976/botched-outbreak-of-covid-19-at-san-quentin-was-preventable-lawmaker-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transfer\u003c/a> of 121 inmates from the California Institution for Men (CIM) in San Bernardino County — which, at the time, had the largest outbreak of any prison in the state — to San Quentin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transfer of medically vulnerable inmates was carried out “with the goal to save lives,” receiver Clark Kelso testified Wednesday, because those inmates had underlying health issues that could increase their risk of dying if they caught the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the transferred inmates had previously tested negative for the virus, but after they arrived at San Quentin, 25 of them tested positive, according to Kelso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In many cases the tests were two, three and, in some cases, four weeks old — far too old to be a reliable indicator for the absence of COVID,” Kelso said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelso had established protocols that required a negative coronavirus test result before an inmate could be transferred from one prison to another. But the protocols did not state how recent those test results needed to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The buses transferring inmates from CIM also dropped off 66 men at Corcoran State Prison — two of whom subsequently tested positive for COVID-19, said Kelso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can do better and I know we will do better,” Corrections Secretary Ralph Diaz told the committee. “Protecting the health and safety of all individuals and institutions, that’s always been and will remain a top priority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz pointed to some of the measures prison officials took to contain the virus, including suspending visitation, halting intake from county jails and releasing 3500 inmates a few months early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Wednesday, 4,983 inmates in prisons throughout the state had been diagnosed with COVID-19, and 22 inmates have died, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/population-status-tracking/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website\u003c/a>.

The wearing of masks could have been mandated — all of the things that our counties are telling the rest of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no dispute that more could be and should be done,” Ghaly responded. “I would hesitate to leave the committee with the impression that I or any of us believe that the response has been satisfactory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"cdcr\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State health officials have set up an incident command center at San Quentin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghaly told lawmakers they will try to do the same at other prisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Correctional Peace Officers Association supports testing for its 30,000 members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union President Glen Stailey told lawmakers correctional officers are experiencing “increased stress and anxiety at work” and criticized prison leaders for issuing conflicting and confusing guidelines that created “dysfunction and outright failure” at some institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union’s support is contingent on testing being offered during an employee’s shift at the prison.

Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, who called for the informational hearing before the senate public safety committee on the spreading COVID-19 crisis in prisons. “The decision to transfer incarcerated people from a prison with one of the worst outbreaks — Chino — to San Quentin, which at that point had no known cases, raises significant questions about CDCR’s handling of this crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Inadequate Prisoner Testing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Health care in California’s prisons has been under the control of a federal court for nearly two decades in the wake of a lawsuit over a rash of preventable deaths in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late May, the court-appointed receiver in charge of making improvements to inmate health care approved the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823976/botched-outbreak-of-covid-19-at-san-quentin-was-preventable-lawmaker-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transfer\u003c/a> of 121 inmates from the California Institution for Men (CIM) in San Bernardino County — which, at the time, had the largest outbreak of any prison in the state — to San Quentin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the protocols did not state how recent those test results needed to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The buses transferring inmates from CIM also dropped off 66 men at Corcoran State Prison — two of whom subsequently tested positive for COVID-19, said Kelso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can do better and I know we will do better,” Corrections Secretary Ralph Diaz told the committee. “Protecting the health and safety of all individuals and institutions, that’s always been and will remain a top priority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz pointed to some of the measures prison officials took to contain the virus, including suspending visitation, halting intake from county jails and releasing 3500 inmates a few months early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Wednesday, 4,983 inmates in prisons throughout the state had been diagnosed with COVID-19, and 22 inmates have died, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/population-status-tracking/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website\u003c/a>.

The wearing of masks could have been mandated — all of the things that our counties are telling the rest of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no dispute that more could be and should be done,” Ghaly responded. “I would hesitate to leave the committee with the impression that I or any of us believe that the response has been satisfactory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The biggest donations have been from Goya Foods and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Mission Food Hub secured a donation of 1,400 boxes of produce every week from the USDA. The effort not only gives food to families – they’re also thinking about the products people need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really make sure that the Mission Food Hub is culturally appropriate for our community,” said Hernandez. “Because I believe that we should be able to eat things we like.” For Mission Food Hub, Hernadez realized that base for maize dough (masa) is a highly sought product by families, the majority of whom are Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They give us what we use most in the kitchen,” said Veliz. “Sometimes they give us products to make tortillas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veliz heard about the Mission Food Hub a month ago from her sister and since then, she and her neighbor go to receive food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aura Cabrera, another visitor to the Food Hub, liked that they give out dairy products because she has a young daughter. “Because of the unemployment, the resources that they give us are a big help,” said Cabrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera lost her job as a cook in a Mexican restaurant in the Mission on March 16.

Hernandez started by calling his close friends, asking them if they could donate groceries to families. But when he saw the vast necessity, the project grew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been like magic. I really believe it has been like a miracle in the Mission. Puro milagro” said Hernadez.

The biggest donations have been from Goya Foods and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Mission Food Hub secured a donation of 1,400 boxes of produce every week from the USDA. The effort not only gives food to families – they’re also thinking about the products people need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really make sure that the Mission Food Hub is culturally appropriate for our community,” said Hernandez. “Because I believe that we should be able to eat things we like.” For Mission Food Hub, Hernadez realized that base for maize dough (masa) is a highly sought product by families, the majority of whom are Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They give us what we use most in the kitchen,” said Veliz. “Sometimes they give us products to make tortillas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veliz heard about the Mission Food Hub a month ago from her sister and since then, she and her neighbor go to receive food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aura Cabrera, another visitor to the Food Hub, liked that they give out dairy products because she has a young daughter. “Because of the unemployment, the resources that they give us are a big help,” said Cabrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera lost her job as a cook in a Mexican restaurant in the Mission on March 16. She heard about the Food Hub from her daughter’s school and has gone to several other food banks to help feed her family of seven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11827003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11827003\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Mission-Latino-Food-Hub_5297_WEB.jpg\" alt=\"The group starts putting the food boxes together every Tuesday at 9am and food distribution begins at noon, though many arrive hours earlier to make sure they'll get a box. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Mission-Latino-Food-Hub_5297_WEB.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Mission-Latino-Food-Hub_5297_WEB-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The group starts putting the food boxes together every Tuesday at 9am and food distribution begins at noon, though many arrive hours earlier to make sure they’ll get a box. \u003ccite>(Mabel Jiménez/El Tecolote)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the SF Neighbors Solidarity Network also makes an effort to deliver healthy and organic food, along with other resources such as face masks and hand sanitizer to elderly and homeless people in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do our shopping ourselves so that we can really make sure the quality of the bags is really high and that people are getting really healthy food,” said Natalia Kresich, organizer of the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That program has been around for more than 12 weeks, and besides making home deliveries to those who request help, they also help unhoused people in San Francisco by taking their products to shelters and hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re trying to do is basically treat everybody on our list as though they’re one of our neighbors that we’re shopping for,” said Kresich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all started when Kresich and her friend Shafagh Farnoud began helping their elderly neighbors, for whom it was not safe to go out to shop for supplies.

"content": "\u003cp>In mid-March, Karla Monterroso flew home from a hiking trip in Zion National Park through the Las Vegas airport. Four days later she began to develop a bad, dry cough. Her lungs felt sticky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fevers that persisted for the next nine weeks grew so high — 100.4, 101.2, 101.7, 102.3 — that on the worst night, she was in the shower on all fours, ice cold water running down her back, willing her temperature to go down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That night I had written down in a journal, letters to everyone I’m close to, the things I wanted them to know in case I died,” she remembers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came a new batch of symptoms in the second month, headaches and shooting pains in her legs and abdomen that made her worry she could be at risk for the blood clots and strokes that other COVID-19 patients in their thirties were starting to report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Karla Monterroso']‘You spend so much of the process not believing yourself, and then to not be believed when you go in? It’s really hard to be questioned in that way.’[/pullquote]But still, she wasn’t sure if she should go to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As women of color, you get questioned a lot about your emotions and the truth of your physical state. You get called an exaggerator a lot throughout the course of your life,” said Monterroso, who is Latina. “So there was this weird, ‘I don’t want to go and use resources for nothing’ feeling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took four friends to convince her that she needed to call 911.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what happened in the emergency room at Alameda Hospital only confirmed her worst fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disrespect and abuse she experienced at the hands of medical professionals confirmed for her that the reason people of color are being disproportionately impacted by the coronavirus is not just because they’re more likely to have front-line jobs that expose them to it and the underlying conditions that make COVID-19 worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is certainly part of it, but the other part is the lack of value people see in our lives,” Monterroso wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/karlitaliliana/status/1260761818558984195\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a Twitter thread\u003c/a> detailing her experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/karlitaliliana/status/1260761818558984195\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research shows how \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/stateofhealth/54909/doctors-struggle-with-unconscious-bias-same-as-police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">doctors’ unconscious bias\u003c/a> affects the care people receive, with Latino and Black patients being less likely to receive \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1448154/#r3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pain medications\u003c/a> or get referred for \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199902253400806#t=articleResults\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advanced care\u003c/a> than white patients with the same complaints or symptoms, and more likely to die in childbirth from preventable complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At nearly every turn during her emergency room visit, Monterroso said providers dismissed her symptoms and concerns. Her low blood pressure? That’s a false reading. Her cycling oxygen levels? The machine’s wrong. The shooting pains in her leg? Probably just a cyst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The doctor came in and said, ‘I don’t think that much is happening here. I think we can send you home,’” Monterroso recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was feeling woozy and having trouble communicating, so she had a friend and her friend’s cousin, a cardiac nurse, on the phone to help. They started asking questions: What about Karla’s accelerated heart rate? Her low oxygen levels? Her lips are blue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doctor walked out of the room. He refused to care for Monterroso while her friends were on the phone, she said, and when he came back, the only thing he wanted to talk about was Monterroso’s tone and her friends’ tone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The implication was that we were insubordinate,” Monterroso says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told the doctor she didn’t want to talk about her tone. She wanted to talk about her health care. She was worried about possible blood clots in her leg and she asked for a CT scan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, you know, the CT scan is radiation right next to your breast tissue. Do you want to get breast cancer?” Monterroso recalls the doctor saying to her. “I only feel comfortable giving you that test if you say that you’re fine getting breast cancer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterroso thought to herself, “Swallow it up, Karla. You need to be well.” And so she said to the doctor: “I’m fine getting breast cancer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He never ordered the test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826930\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826930\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Black-Health-Matters-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A vehicle parked in Oakland during the first weeks of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests \u003ccite>(Courtesy of April Dembosky)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Monterroso asked for a different doctor, for a hospital advocate. No and no, she was told. She began to worry for her safety, for her life. She wanted to get out of there. Her friends, all calling every medical professional they knew to confirm that this treatment was not right, came to pick her up and drove her to UCSF. The team there gave her an EKG, a chest x-ray and a CT scan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the nurses came in and she was like, ‘I heard about your ordeal. I just want you to know that I believe you. And we are not going let you go until we know that you are safe to go,’” Monterroso said. “And I started bawling. Because that’s all you want, is to be believed. You spend so much of the process not believing yourself, and then to not be believed when you go in? It’s really hard to be questioned in that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda Health System did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Monterroso filed a grievance with the hospital and they invited her to come talk to their staff and residents, but she declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She believes her experience is an example of why people of color are faring so badly in the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because when we go and seek care, if we are advocating for ourselves, we can be treated as insubordinate,” she says. “And if we are not advocating for ourselves, we can be treated as invisible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Unconscious Bias in Health Care\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Experts say this happens routinely, and regardless of the doctor’s intentions or race. Monterroso’s doctor was not white, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research shows that every doctor, every human being, has biases they’re not aware of, says Dr. Rene Salazar, assistant dean for diversity at the University of Texas at Austin medical school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"more coronavirus coverage\"]“Do I question a white man in a suit who’s coming in looking like he’s a professional when he asks for pain meds versus a black man?” Salazar says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unconscious bias most often surfaces in high stress environments, like emergency rooms — where doctors are under tremendous pressure and have to make quick, high stakes decisions. Add in a deadly new virus, where the science is changing by the day, and things can spiral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just so much uncertainty,” he says. “When there is this uncertainty, there always is a level of opportunity for bias to make its way in and have an impact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salazar used to teach at UCSF where he helped \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/stateofhealth/56311/ucsf-doctors-students-confront-their-own-unconscious-bias\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">develop unconscious bias training\u003c/a> for medical and pharmacy students.

Her low blood pressure? That’s a false reading. Her cycling oxygen levels? The machine’s wrong. The shooting pains in her leg? Probably just a cyst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The doctor came in and said, ‘I don’t think that much is happening here. I think we can send you home,’” Monterroso recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was feeling woozy and having trouble communicating, so she had a friend and her friend’s cousin, a cardiac nurse, on the phone to help. They started asking questions: What about Karla’s accelerated heart rate? Her low oxygen levels? Her lips are blue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doctor walked out of the room. He refused to care for Monterroso while her friends were on the phone, she said, and when he came back, the only thing he wanted to talk about was Monterroso’s tone and her friends’ tone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The implication was that we were insubordinate,” Monterroso says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told the doctor she didn’t want to talk about her tone. She wanted to talk about her health care. She was worried about possible blood clots in her leg and she asked for a CT scan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, you know, the CT scan is radiation right next to your breast tissue. Do you want to get breast cancer?” Monterroso recalls the doctor saying to her. “I only feel comfortable giving you that test if you say that you’re fine getting breast cancer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterroso thought to herself, “Swallow it up, Karla. You need to be well.” And so she said to the doctor: “I’m fine getting breast cancer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He never ordered the test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826930\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826930\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Black-Health-Matters-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A vehicle parked in Oakland during the first weeks of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests \u003ccite>(Courtesy of April Dembosky)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Monterroso asked for a different doctor, for a hospital advocate. No and no, she was told. She began to worry for her safety, for her life. She wanted to get out of there. Her friends, all calling every medical professional they knew to confirm that this treatment was not right, came to pick her up and drove her to UCSF. The team there gave her an EKG, a chest x-ray and a CT scan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the nurses came in and she was like, ‘I heard about your ordeal. I just want you to know that I believe you. And we are not going let you go until we know that you are safe to go,’” Monterroso said. “And I started bawling. Because that’s all you want, is to be believed. You spend so much of the process not believing yourself, and then to not be believed when you go in? It’s really hard to be questioned in that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda Health System did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Monterroso filed a grievance with the hospital and they invited her to come talk to their staff and residents, but she declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She believes her experience is an example of why people of color are faring so badly in the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because when we go and seek care, if we are advocating for ourselves, we can be treated as insubordinate,” she says. “And if we are not advocating for ourselves, we can be treated as invisible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Unconscious Bias in Health Care\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Experts say this happens routinely, and regardless of the doctor’s intentions or race.

That’s one in four American workers. \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/hhp/#/table?measures=JLR\">A recent survey from the U.S. Census Bureau\u003c/a> found more than half of California households have lost income due to the coronavirus pandemic. And nationally, more than a fifth of respondents said they had little to no confidence that they would be able to pay their rent or mortgage payments in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's going to be really difficult for a lot of folks to resume normal rent payments when some of the eviction moratoriums start to expire,” said Michael Trujillo, an attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, most Bay Area residents will be protected through July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11811012/california-court-leaders-suspend-evictions-amid-pandemic\">the state Judicial Council’s order on April 6 to suspend eviction and foreclosure filings\u003c/a> — a de facto moratorium — is still in effect across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasha Harnden, a policy advocate with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said, \"The Judicial Council order is temporary procedural relief meant to prevent what would otherwise happen, which is driving thousands of people to the courthouses at a time when it's really not advisable. It does not provide substantive protections in terms of new defenses a tenant can raise to stay in their homes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In non-pandemic times, if a landlord wanted to evict a tenant, they would file a three-day notice to pay the rent or be forced to vacate the premises. If the tenant doesn’t respond within the three days, the landlord would file an eviction lawsuit in court.

This is a much stronger ruling that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809328/newsoms-eviction-moratorium-useless-misleading-tenants-groups-say\">statewide eviction moratorium\u003c/a> set by Gov. Gavin Newsom in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what the new rule does:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prevents a court from issuing a summons\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>after a landlord files an eviction case: \u003c/strong>Except when necessary to protect health and safety, this means that tenants will not be under the normal five-day response deadline and will instead have time to respond up until the courts' emergency rule is lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prevents default judgments: \u003c/strong>Normally, if the tenant failed to file a response, the court would issue a default judgment. Often siding with the landlord. This prevents that, except in cases of health and safety. Or if the tenant failed to file a response before the statewide order was lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Extends time for trials\u003c/strong>: If an eviction case is already in process, and the tenant has already responded or appeared, judges must set the hearing for a time that is 60 days after the date requested, unless necessary to set it earlier for health and safety.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>You can read more about the rule, including how it applies to foreclosures, \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/summary-california-courts-emergency-rule-on-evictions-and-foreclosures/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"evictions\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if I get an eviction notice?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If for some reason you do receive an eviction notice, \u003cstrong>get in touch with a lawyer or legal aid office as soon as possible\u003c/strong>.

That’s one in four American workers. \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/hhp/#/table?measures=JLR\">A recent survey from the U.S. Census Bureau\u003c/a> found more than half of California households have lost income due to the coronavirus pandemic. And nationally, more than a fifth of respondents said they had little to no confidence that they would be able to pay their rent or mortgage payments in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's going to be really difficult for a lot of folks to resume normal rent payments when some of the eviction moratoriums start to expire,” said Michael Trujillo, an attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, most Bay Area residents will be protected through July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11811012/california-court-leaders-suspend-evictions-amid-pandemic\">the state Judicial Council’s order on April 6 to suspend eviction and foreclosure filings\u003c/a> — a de facto moratorium — is still in effect across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasha Harnden, a policy advocate with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said, \"The Judicial Council order is temporary procedural relief meant to prevent what would otherwise happen, which is driving thousands of people to the courthouses at a time when it's really not advisable. It does not provide substantive protections in terms of new defenses a tenant can raise to stay in their homes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In non-pandemic times, if a landlord wanted to evict a tenant, they would file a three-day notice to pay the rent or be forced to vacate the premises. If the tenant doesn’t respond within the three days, the landlord would file an eviction lawsuit in court. The court would then send the tenant a notice to respond to the lawsuit within five days, or the judge automatically rules in favor of the landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Judicial Council’s order, the courts won’t send that five-day notice until the order is rescinded or expires. It’s currently set to expire 90 days after the governor lifts the state of emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's where local protections may come in, depending on where you are,\" Harnden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and counties around the Bay have passed local moratoria that add protections on top of what's provided by the Judicial Council's order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, they provide additional protections for tenants by allowing tenants to use the local moratorium as a defense against a future eviction case, once those cases can be filed.

This is a much stronger ruling that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809328/newsoms-eviction-moratorium-useless-misleading-tenants-groups-say\">statewide eviction moratorium\u003c/a> set by Gov. Gavin Newsom in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what the new rule does:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prevents a court from issuing a summons\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>after a landlord files an eviction case: \u003c/strong>Except when necessary to protect health and safety, this means that tenants will not be under the normal five-day response deadline and will instead have time to respond up until the courts' emergency rule is lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prevents default judgments: \u003c/strong>Normally, if the tenant failed to file a response, the court would issue a default judgment. Often siding with the landlord. This prevents that, except in cases of health and safety. Or if the tenant failed to file a response before the statewide order was lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Extends time for trials\u003c/strong>: If an eviction case is already in process, and the tenant has already responded or appeared, judges must set the hearing for a time that is 60 days after the date requested, unless necessary to set it earlier for health and safety.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>You can read more about the rule, including how it applies to foreclosures, \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/summary-california-courts-emergency-rule-on-evictions-and-foreclosures/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
