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.",

But for weeks, she said, there was no official word from her bosses at the facility, which holds immigrants awaiting deportation hearings and federal defendants awaiting trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her employer, CoreCivic, one of the nation’s largest private prison companies, handed out a flyer from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that encouraged handwashing, she said, but the company wasn’t taking obvious steps to protect inmates and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s things that you can do to prevent it,” Brooks said. “But those things weren’t being done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As late as the end of March, when the state was under shelter-in-place orders to limit the spread of the coronavirus, meals were still served in the “chow hall” with hundreds of people from different housing units congregating together, Brooks said. Radios, keys and handcuffs all passed between officers throughout the day, and they weren’t getting sanitized, she said, and staff members were not screened for symptoms when they arrived for their shifts.

By the end of March, she had stopped going to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was before the number of infections at the detention center climbed to more than 250 — the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus#tab2\">largest outbreak\u003c/a> at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility anywhere in the country.

The biggest outbreaks have been at Chuckawalla Valley State Prison, Avenal State Prison, the California Institution for Men and the California Institution for Women.

And the Terminal Island Federal Correctional Institution, in Los Angeles, had a total of 17 employees and 690 inmates with COVID-19 — including nine inmates who have died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing last week before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, public health expert Dr. Scott Allen \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/17/we-must-release-prisoners-lessen-spread-coronavirus/\">warned\u003c/a> that prisons and detention centers are “densely populated and poorly designed to prevent the inevitable rapid and widespread dissemination” of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This virus does not care who you are or what uniform you wear,” Allen, a retired professor of medicine from UC Riverside who serves as a health expert for the Department of Homeland Security, said in written testimony to the judiciary committee. “It can easily move in and out of facilities undetected in the absence of aggressive testing-based surveillance and containment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘They Are Left to Die’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One of the inmates sick with the virus at Terminal Island federal prison is Lance Wilson, 35, an African American man from Modesto with hypertension and asthma. Terminal Island houses more than 1,000 low-security inmates with chronic and complex medical conditions in a facility that was designed for 800.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a series of letters Wilson wrote after the prison cut off email and telephone access in April, reportedly to prevent the spread of the virus, he told his brother Jacque Wilson that his bunk was only two feet away from his cellmate — and that the growing number of ill inmates were not being separated from healthy ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11823572\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11823572\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut-800x568.jpg\" alt=\"Lance Wilson with his daughter at her birthday party in 2014.\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut-800x568.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut-160x114.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut-1020x725.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut.jpg 1026w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lance Wilson with his daughter at her birthday party in 2014. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the Wilson family)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On April 29, Lance wrote, “People are sick all around me. They are giving us a death sentence. The likelihood of becoming infected is enormous.” Three days later, he tested positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacque is an attorney in the San Francisco Public Defender’s office and said Lance is serving a sentence for playing a role in a prescription drug theft ring. His brother’s story reflects the experience of many incarcerated people during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacque said his brother has had chills, headaches and shortness of breath but has not been seen by a doctor and hasn’t had his temperature taken since May 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My heart just bleeds for those individuals who are locked up,” said Jacque. “There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it: They are left to die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacque said he has helped his brother file a petition for compassionate release. On May 16, the ACLU filed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/sites/default/files/aclu_socal_wilson_20200516_complaint.pdf\">class-action lawsuit\u003c/a>, with Lance Wilson as a lead plaintiff, that calls on the Federal Bureau of Prisons to release inmates and ensure safe social distancing and sanitary measures at Terminal Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The lawsuit seeks to have Lance released to home confinement,” said Jacque. “The Constitution requires that prison officials provide a safe environment for those people that are in custody. Where Lance is at now is not a safe environment. It’s not a safe environment for anyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons declined to comment because of the pending lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit is one of numerous legal actions filed around California and across the country seeking to protect incarcerated people from the coronavirus. A number of lawsuits filed against ICE have led to the release of dozens of detainees, especially medically vulnerable people, at Otay Mesa and other facilities in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has also been reducing the number of people it is holding in detention during the pandemic. The number of detainees has dropped to 25,000 nationally — less than half what it was a year ago when the Trump Administration held a record 52,000 immigrants in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though ICE has only tested 20% of the people in its custody for COVID-19, more than half of those tests have come back positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of detainees at ICE’s Mesa Verde Detention Center in Bakersfield, say the agency is not doing enough to protect them and last Thursday announced a hunger strike in protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘How Am I Supposed to Protect Myself?’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As the number of cases at the Otay Mesa Detention Center grew this spring, detention officer Brooks said she scrambled to figure out how to protect herself, her husband and her 3-year-old son. When she came home from work, she would strip off her uniform in the garage and scrub down in the shower before saying hello to her little boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks is just 30 years old, but because she’s overweight she fears she’s at a higher risk of complications from COVID-19. And, she said, she’s keenly aware that her family is African American. Statistically, African Americans are \u003ca href=\"https://www.apmresearchlab.org/covid/deaths-by-race\">more than twice as likely to die\u003c/a> from the coronavirus as people of other races. And Brooks didn’t want to become a statistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My coworker, she worked in receiving, she got sick with COVID. She went home. Her husband got sick with COVID. They both went to the ICU. And her husband did not make it,” said Brooks. “I don’t want to be her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said she was never issued a mask by her employer, and she and other officers were told they shouldn’t wear them because masks would intimidate the detainees. But Brooks said detainees told her they feared guards could be bringing the virus into the facility and wanted them to wear masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a nurse at the facility gave her a mask, Brooks said she started wearing it on the job. Then a supervisor approached her during an overnight shift, in the wee hours of the morning on March 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically he said, I want to let you know that it’s a violation of a direct order to wear your mask,” said Brooks. “So we got into a conversation and I asked him, ‘Well, how am I supposed to protect myself?’ And when I told him that, he looked at me and he said, ‘Look at your I.D. card. It’s a number, not a name. Everybody’s disposable.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the last straw for Brooks. She took a month off from work before realizing she couldn’t go back. She said it has been tough financially — she’s getting unemployment benefits, but she had to cash out her retirement account to cover the bills. Still, she has no regrets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"otay-mesa\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Monday, 29 of her CoreCivic coworkers have been infected, along with 11 ICE staff members at Otay Mesa. In addition, 162 ICE detainees and 71 federal inmates there have tested positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her lawsuit, Brooks and her attorneys write that CoreCivic failed to train detention officers “on how to handle infectious diseases, yet they are on the front lines of interacting with potentially infected persons.” They are asking the court to award punitive damages to push CoreCivic to better protect staff in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As an officer, I gave everything that I had to the detainees, who are human. You know, we’re all human,” she said. “When you give your all to something and you continuously try to put your best foot forward … and then you get told, ‘You’re number, not a name’ … I just was devastated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks’s husband, an electrical engineer, has been going to work at job sites, but she thinks his company is taking the right safety precautions. For herself, she said she’s relieved to be done with a job where she felt helpless and unsafe. She said she’s spending a lot of time with her son now and looking for a different career path.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Terminal Island houses more than 1,000 low-security inmates with chronic and complex medical conditions in a facility that was designed for 800.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a series of letters Wilson wrote after the prison cut off email and telephone access in April, reportedly to prevent the spread of the virus, he told his brother Jacque Wilson that his bunk was only two feet away from his cellmate — and that the growing number of ill inmates were not being separated from healthy ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11823572\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11823572\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut-800x568.jpg\" alt=\"Lance Wilson with his daughter at her birthday party in 2014.\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut-800x568.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut-160x114.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut-1020x725.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43591_IMG_4529-qut.jpg 1026w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lance Wilson with his daughter at her birthday party in 2014. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the Wilson family)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On April 29, Lance wrote, “People are sick all around me. They are giving us a death sentence. The likelihood of becoming infected is enormous.” Three days later, he tested positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacque is an attorney in the San Francisco Public Defender’s office and said Lance is serving a sentence for playing a role in a prescription drug theft ring. His brother’s story reflects the experience of many incarcerated people during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacque said his brother has had chills, headaches and shortness of breath but has not been seen by a doctor and hasn’t had his temperature taken since May 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My heart just bleeds for those individuals who are locked up,” said Jacque. “There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it: They are left to die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacque said he has helped his brother file a petition for compassionate release. On May 16, the ACLU filed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/sites/default/files/aclu_socal_wilson_20200516_complaint.pdf\">class-action lawsuit\u003c/a>, with Lance Wilson as a lead plaintiff, that calls on the Federal Bureau of Prisons to release inmates and ensure safe social distancing and sanitary measures at Terminal Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The lawsuit seeks to have Lance released to home confinement,” said Jacque. “The Constitution requires that prison officials provide a safe environment for those people that are in custody. Where Lance is at now is not a safe environment. It’s not a safe environment for anyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons declined to comment because of the pending lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit is one of numerous legal actions filed around California and across the country seeking to protect incarcerated people from the coronavirus. A number of lawsuits filed against ICE have led to the release of dozens of detainees, especially medically vulnerable people, at Otay Mesa and other facilities in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has also been reducing the number of people it is holding in detention during the pandemic. The number of detainees has dropped to 25,000 nationally — less than half what it was a year ago when the Trump Administration held a record 52,000 immigrants in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though ICE has only tested 20% of the people in its custody for COVID-19, more than half of those tests have come back positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of detainees at ICE’s Mesa Verde Detention Center in Bakersfield, say the agency is not doing enough to protect them and last Thursday announced a hunger strike in protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘How Am I Supposed to Protect Myself?’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As the number of cases at the Otay Mesa Detention Center grew this spring, detention officer Brooks said she scrambled to figure out how to protect herself, her husband and her 3-year-old son. When she came home from work, she would strip off her uniform in the garage and scrub down in the shower before saying hello to her little boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks is just 30 years old, but because she’s overweight she fears she’s at a higher risk of complications from COVID-19. And, she said, she’s keenly aware that her family is African American. Statistically, African Americans are \u003ca href=\"https://www.apmresearchlab.org/covid/deaths-by-race\">more than twice as likely to die\u003c/a> from the coronavirus as people of other races. And Brooks didn’t want to become a statistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My coworker, she worked in receiving, she got sick with COVID. She went home. Her husband got sick with COVID. They both went to the ICU. And her husband did not make it,” said Brooks. “I don’t want to be her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said she was never issued a mask by her employer, and she and other officers were told they shouldn’t wear them because masks would intimidate the detainees. But Brooks said detainees told her they feared guards could be bringing the virus into the facility and wanted them to wear masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a nurse at the facility gave her a mask, Brooks said she started wearing it on the job. Then a supervisor approached her during an overnight shift, in the wee hours of the morning on March 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically he said, I want to let you know that it’s a violation of a direct order to wear your mask,” said Brooks. “So we got into a conversation and I asked him, ‘Well, how am I supposed to protect myself?’ And when I told him that, he looked at me and he said, ‘Look at your I.D. card. It’s a number, not a name. Everybody’s disposable.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the last straw for Brooks. She took a month off from work before realizing she couldn’t go back. She said it has been tough financially — she’s getting unemployment benefits, but she had to cash out her retirement account to cover the bills. Still, she has no regrets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

California's 6.2 million students can expect temperature checks upon entering schools and buses, extensive hand washing throughout the day, physical distancing requirements — in classes, in hallways, at recess, on school buses — and face coverings for students and staff at all times except when eating and drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on everything we know about providing education,\" said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. \"It forces us to enter into a new conversation about the way we provide instruction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, school districts will decide when and how to reopen campuses. Thurmond stressed that the guidelines are not mandatory and can't offer a one-size-fits-all model for the state's 1,000 school districts. But they aim to provide multiple scenarios to help schools find the best approach for safely reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The manual titled, \"Stronger Together: A Guidebook for the Safe Reopening of California's Public Schools,\" can serve as a road map for school districts as they prepare for the return of classes, Thurmond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many parents have expressed interest in continuing distance learning for safety reasons, and Thurmond said he is encouraging districts to maintain at-home instruction to the extent they can to ensure smaller class sizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Parents are asking for it, let's use that as a strategy, let's plan for it,\" Thurmond said about continued online learning in the fall, which will be needed as schools accommodate a smaller number of students at a time. The department also recommends schools be prepared to shutter again and go online because of a virus outbreak, power shut-offs to prevent wildfires, or other natural disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's high anxiety at so many levels on this ... We just have to be kind to each other,\" said Mary Jane Burke, Marin County superintendent of schools. \"But also be clear that it's not ‘Are we going to open schools?’ It's ‘What are the conditions that need to be in place?’ because we have got to get kids back into classrooms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>School Won't Look the Same\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The guidelines include new models for classroom instruction, such as rotating students into classes just two days a week with the remainder of days at home doing distance learning or sending half the class to school for \"in-person learning\" several days a week while the rest of the class stays home for distance learning. The students would alternate each week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools might also opt to stagger schedules, with AM-PM rotations of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\"]Everything from lining up when the bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought – as will the types of toys students can play with.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guidelines suggest temperature checks and hand sanitizing for students and teachers before they enter school campuses and buses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New rules and seating plans will be applied on school buses to keep students 6 feet apart. One option could be to seat one student per bench and skip every other row, the guidelines say. Choosing seats would not be allowed, students should be seated from the rear of the bus forward to prevent walking past each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation of students with special learning needs is one of the hurdles districts are having to tackle without specific information from the state on how many students should be on a standard bus, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solving some of these problems is going to take creativity, said Alameda County Schools Superintendent Karen Monroe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because if you're looking at something like special ed, keeping on masks and six feet apart is not always going to be possible for students who need hands-on support,\" Monroe said. \"Every district is going to consider their staffing and their ability to staff and fund any model that they have. So it has to start with your resources to actually do this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's new guidelines also rule out a number of social activities, such as field trips and school assemblies, and place a variety of restrictions on the act of sharing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Avoid sharing electronic devices, toys, books and other games,\" the guidelines say as part of recommendations for schools to meet \"high standards of cleanliness.\" Schools are asked to disinfect high-touch surfaces at least daily, such as doorknobs, handrails, drinking fountains, playground equipment, sink handles and bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Department of Public Health on Friday released its own 14-page guidance designed to help districts prepare, with many of the same recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state said it plans to supply every school and child care center with the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>No-touch thermometers\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hand sanitizer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Face shields for every teacher\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cloth face coverings for staff and students\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tight-fitting N-95 masks for health care professionals in schools\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Logistical, Financial Challenges for Districts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Educators say the new safety measures pose massive logistical and financial challenges, particularly at a time of shrinking budgets. Districts are facing the prospect of billions of dollars in budget cuts as the state scrambles to plug a deficit brought on by the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Education Coalition, which includes the nine statewide K-12 public education associations, has urged Newsom and state legislators to reject the cuts. Teachers, superintendents, principals and others say they support the need to implement physical distancing at schools, which would require decreased class sizes and dramatically increased cleaning. But all of that will cost more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='education']Schools have been closed since mid-March, when Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide stay-at-home order, and developed distance-learning plans on the fly. The idea of classes resuming is a relief for both teachers and parents, but raises a host of new questions. Working parents will find it challenging to cope with extended distance learning plans. Teachers say they are wondering how they will keep students 6 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the million-dollar question,\" said Heather Peterson, a kindergarten teacher in Long Beach. Everything from lining up when the school bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought. As will the types of toys students can play with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've got Legos, and Tinker Toys and we do fun Friday free time, where the kids get to play with a partner. I don't know how that's going to look. Because everything a kid touches will have to be cleaned,\" said Peterson, who wonders how she will monitor what each child touches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterson has always tried to instill independence in her students — letting them go to the bathroom without asking, getting up for a pencil if they need it — but she assumes that will need to be curtailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They'll need to be at their designated spot for the day,\" she said, and ask permission to leave their seat to avoid getting too close to others. On the bright side, by the time students return to school, the concept of staying apart won't be new, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not ideal. I think it will be tricky to monitor at school. But when they return in September, at least they'll have a lot of experience with social distancing,\" Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED's Julia McEvoy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom issued a statewide stay-at-home order, and developed distance-learning plans on the fly. The idea of classes resuming is a relief for both teachers and parents, but raises a host of new questions. Working parents will find it challenging to cope with extended distance learning plans. Teachers say they are wondering how they will keep students 6 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the million-dollar question,\" said Heather Peterson, a kindergarten teacher in Long Beach. Everything from lining up when the school bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought. As will the types of toys students can play with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've got Legos, and Tinker Toys and we do fun Friday free time, where the kids get to play with a partner. I don't know how that's going to look. Because everything a kid touches will have to be cleaned,\" said Peterson, who wonders how she will monitor what each child touches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterson has always tried to instill independence in her students — letting them go to the bathroom without asking, getting up for a pencil if they need it — but she assumes that will need to be curtailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They'll need to be at their designated spot for the day,\" she said, and ask permission to leave their seat to avoid getting too close to others. On the bright side, by the time students return to school, the concept of staying apart won't be new, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not ideal. I think it will be tricky to monitor at school. But when they return in September, at least they'll have a lot of experience with social distancing,\" Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED's Julia McEvoy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lederman reported that two people, one of them a photographer, were struck with rubber bullets during the protest Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve also seen quite a bit of use of the impact munitions, like the large rubber bullets and other munitions that are fired from a gun or launcher,” Lederman said. “Those aren’t supposed to be fired into the crowds either because of the serious risk of hitting an innocent person. And they’re supposed to only be aimed at safe or target areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s crowd-control policy requires the department to use minimal physical force when controlling an assembly — whether lawful or unlawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Occupy protests in 2014, Oakland police shot a non-lethal projectile that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/130079/iraq-vet-scott-olsen-settles-occupy-suit-against-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">struck an Iraq war veteran\u003c/a> in the head, causing permanent brain damage.

Oakland has been reviewing and re-examining all of its use-of-force policies under the leadership of our Citizen Police Commission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Wednesday, three Oakland City Council members \u003ca href=\"https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:a304ee9c-af11-443c-964f-2c7cee95cb2d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">urged Schaaf\u003c/a> and law enforcement to halt the use of tear gas on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Council President Rebecca Kaplan said she’s received complaints that tear gas has crept into residential homes, hurting elderly residents and people uninvolved in the demonstrations. She also criticized the department for pushing protesters into small business districts like Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the purpose of the police is not to serve and protect the communities then what is their purpose?” Kaplan said. “If they are making things worse for small businesses like those in Chinatown, then what is their goal?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Rebecca Kaplan, Oakland City Council president\"]“Tear gas cannot be aimed.

Getting tear gassed increases the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19, as well as the risk of spreading it, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If somebody has COVID-19 and they get tear gassed, they’re going to be coughing more. They’re going to be spitting more. They’re going to be shouting more in pain … so that’s one risk,” Chin-Hong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other risk is that tear gas could degrade the lungs and make a protester more susceptible to coronavirus infection down the line, he added.

Havard Early Education School in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the first two days of COVID-19 testing in San Francisco’s District 10 — which includes parts of the Bayview-Hunters Point and Visitacion Valley neighborhoods — the result of weeks of coordination between community advocates, UCSF doctors and city agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The work follows last month’s\u003ca href=\"https://unitedinhealth.org/\"> United in Health\u003c/a> initiative to\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11813126/a-world-apart-ucsf-offers-free-mass-coronavirus-testing-to-residents-in-bolinas-and-sfs-mission-district\"> test every resident of the Mission District\u003c/a>, part of an effort to better understand how the virus spreads in some of San Francisco’s most vulnerable communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no one involved in the new testing program anticipated it would launch in the middle of nationwide protests against police violence following the death of George Floyd, a black man killed by Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Michelle Pierce, executive director of Bayview Hunters Point Community Advocates\"]‘This is how we’re going to get a handle on just how deep the virus is in our community.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Resources are being really challenged,” said Monique LeSarre, executive director of the Rafiki Coalition for Health and Wellness. “What COVID-19 has brought to the community is that we are already pressed. And now we’re really pressed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the unrest, at least 850 people in the neighborhood turned out over the weekend to get tested. UCSF conducted both viral and antibody tests, working with the San Francisco Department of Public Health and other city agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is how we’re going to get a handle on just how deep the virus is in our community,” said Michelle Pierce, executive director of Bayview Hunters Point Community Advocates, who helped organize the initiative. “And this is how we are going to slow and hopefully stop its progression completely throughout our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testing continues Monday and Tuesday at Herz Playground in Visitacion Valley. Additional testing will also be available for unhoused residents of District 10, as well as the people who assist them. The project is hoping to test a total of about 5,000 neighborhood residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District 10, home to San Francisco’s largest African American population, is among the lowest-income district’s in the city. It also has some of the\u003ca href=\"https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/bj8f-r6sy\"> highest reported rates\u003c/a> of COVID-19 citywide, in addition to\u003ca href=\"https://sfenvironment.org/sites/default/files/fliers/files/sfe_ej_sfhh_community_health_status_assessment.pdf\"> disproportionately higher rates\u003c/a> of hospitalizations due to asthma, heart disease, diabetes and breast cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Disparities are not new,” said Dr. Kim Rhoads, professor of epidemiology and director of the Office of Community Engagement at UCSF, who helped implement the Bayview testing effort. “Coronavirus has really ripped the lid off of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rhoads said she thinks this kind of partnership with community organizations is vital to solving some of the biggest public health crises, including cancer, diabetes, asthma — and now, COVID-19.
