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 hundreds of deaths in San Francisco are still being investigated by the medical examiner’s office, raising questions about whether the true death count is as low as it seems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Friday, 40 people had died from COVID-19 in San Francisco, according to the city’s public health department. But the cause of 243 other deaths, reported to the county morgue from December through April, remain unresolved. And the medical examiner’s office had exceeded a 90-day deadline for closing more than a quarter of those cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin suspects those pending results could push the COVID-19 death rate closer to other Bay Area counties, including Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been asking the same questions that many people are wondering: how many un-processed cases at the medical examiner’s office that are pending investigation could be due to COVID-19?” said Peskin, who sits on the committee that oversees the medical examiner. “We have seen cities and countries around the world that have actually raised their official COVID-19 death counts as they’ve slowly gone back through unknown deaths.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlogs at the medical examiner’s office have been a problem in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014 then-Chief Medical Examiner Amy Hart stepped down from the top position after families complained of having to wait six months for the final results of autopsies on their loved ones. Dr. Hart is now the acting chief, since her boss took a job in another county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Barnes with the San Francisco City Administrator’s Office, said the cases pending now should not be considered a backlog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To the extent that in the past, the medical examiner had a fairly extensive backlog in services, I don’t think this shows that,” Barnes said. “What it shows is that there are lots of cases that are actively being investigated.” Barnes said most of the pending cases are waiting on lab tests, which can take weeks to complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a situation where the toxicologist has to review it, sign off on it, and then the forensic pathologist, a medical doctor has to review it,” Barnes explained. “People rely on the final cause of death to settle their family’s affairs and so it’s important that the final report be correct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Peskin thinks that shouldn’t preclude the medical examiner from providing details about the pending cases. He said sharing information about the kinds of people who died, and the kinds of places they lived, could help San Francisco officials better respond to the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Were they people from congregate settings — be they nursing homes or S.R.O’s (Single-Room Occupancy Hotels) — from the streets of San Francisco or other places?” Peskin asked. “The public has a right to know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the start of the pandemic, the medical examiner’s office had to send tissue samples to the overwhelmed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in order to find out if a person who died had COVID-19. But in March, officials began testing post mortem samples at the county’s own lab, which allowed for quicker results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Department of Public Health is compiling the complete list of COVID-19 deaths, including those reported by hospitals and funeral homes, as well as those cases that are handled by the medical examiner, whose job is to investigate violent, sudden and unexplained deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first San Francisco resident confirmed to have died from the virus — on March 27 — was identified by the medical examiner. But most coronavirus deaths have been reported by doctors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday, the medical examiner had submitted 40 specimens for COVID-19 testing and four had come back positive, according to a spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those four cases is not being counted as a COVID-19 death because the person died of another cause, according to Barnes. [aside tag=\"coronavirus, san francisco\" label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now the confirmed COVID-19 fatalities in San Francisco remain far below some other Bay Area counties. In Santa Clara County 138 people had succumbed to the virus as of Friday, while San Mateo County reported 76 fatalities, and Alameda County reported 86.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I suspect that San Francisco’s COVID-19 death rate is higher than we know,” said Peskin, who pointed out that, in other countries, additional cases of coronavirus have been identified months later. “I suspect that there were a number of deaths as early as February and into March that were attributable to coronavirus that we have yet to discover.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health officials say that if a person suspects their relative died from COVID-19, they should ask the attending physician to conduct a post mortem test for the virus and then report the result to their county’s public health department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lisa Pickoff-White contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Kiefer, a John S.

But in March, officials began testing post mortem samples at the county’s own lab, which allowed for quicker results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Department of Public Health is compiling the complete list of COVID-19 deaths, including those reported by hospitals and funeral homes, as well as those cases that are handled by the medical examiner, whose job is to investigate violent, sudden and unexplained deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first San Francisco resident confirmed to have died from the virus — on March 27 — was identified by the medical examiner. But most coronavirus deaths have been reported by doctors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday, the medical examiner had submitted 40 specimens for COVID-19 testing and four had come back positive, according to a spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those four cases is not being counted as a COVID-19 death because the person died of another cause, according to Barnes. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This wasn’t the first crisis that disabled folks faced. This is just one of a long kind of arc.

What if we designed ways that people could be integrated into society with the supports and services in place so they have as much autonomy as possible? This kind of work is already happening. By communities of color, queer communities, disabled communities, in the way that we provide \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806414/coronavirus-how-these-disabled-activists-are-taking-matters-into-their-own-sanitized-hand\">mutual aid\u003c/a> and care for one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s such an opportunity to kind of take these lessons and scale it up so that we really can have people living the lives that they want.

During its 55-year existence in San Francisco – the bar was formerly located on Folsom Street – it has survived the AIDS epidemic, two tech booms and a tripled rent hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the coronavirus pandemic, the 17-member collective that owns the bar faced what co-owner Marke Bieschke called a \"\u003ca href=\"https://48hills.org/2020/05/the-stud-closes-its-location-in-order-to-save-itself-for-the-future/\">desperate situation\u003c/a>\" felt by many small bars in the city that aren't getting a suspension or any breaks on rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the bar’s co-owners are determined to reopen at a new location as soon as possible.

Under the bill, businesses like bars and restaurants could renegotiate their lease if they've lost over 40% of their revenue due to COVID-19 restrictions — and if they have to operate at reduced capacity because of social distancing requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negotiation process would be formalized into a 30-day period requiring at least two meetings between landlords and tenants.

But the ones he saw seemed unclear about whether or not they should wear masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some folks were hiking with masks, some folks were hiking with mask-in-hand in case they came across people,” Lauretig said. “And some didn’t have any masks at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Memorial Day weekend is one of the few national holidays deeply associated with getting out of the house and exploring the great outdoors. And while the COVID-19 pandemic has upended many family outings, some park restrictions are easing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two national parks in California — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/jotr/index.htm\">Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/redw/index.htm\">Redwood National Park\u003c/a> — have announced partial reopening with some restrictions. Officials at \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm\">Yosemite National Park\u003c/a> have drawn up a plan to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11819673/yosemite-could-be-open-by-june\">reopen as early as June\u003c/a>. And parks across the state are allowing for some vehicle access to parking lots, which have been closed for weeks. But with more options opening up, guidance for how to keep yourself and others safe in the great outdoors can be confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because, in part, counties across California are in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1963889/coronavirus-some-bay-area-counties-are-about-to-open-up-more-heres-where-your-county-stands\">different stages\u003c/a> of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shelter-in-place order, with varying public health guidelines applying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gloria Sandoval, deputy director of public affairs for California State Parks, understands how confusing that can be, and said the best thing visitors can do before Memorial Day – and throughout the summer months – is to check online before heading out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By doing that, they will find out what regulations are in place, restrictions, whether the park is even open, if there’s any parking,” Sandoval said. “That will ensure that they’re prepared to responsibly recreate in the outdoors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planning ahead is even more important with many local businesses still closed, or doing pickup only with limited hours. In some places that means if you forget an essential item — like sunscreen or water — you might be out of luck. Visitor centers will also be closed, so Lauretig said you should come prepared with a map of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And you should also make sure to have a backup plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before you even get into the park, think about some other hikes or other places you want to go visit,” Lauretig said. “Maybe Joshua Tree National Park is way too busy to go visit on Memorial Day weekend, there’s plenty of places to explore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before you get ready to head out, here are some recommendations:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Check out the park before you go\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some parks only have 50% parking lot capacity, some are only open for day use and others are closed entirely. Before you leave, call the park or check online to make sure you know the restrictions before you head out.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Plan ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember: Most bathroom facilities at parks are not open or will not have essential hygiene materials like soap or hand sanitizer.

Officials at \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm\">Yosemite National Park\u003c/a> have drawn up a plan to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11819673/yosemite-could-be-open-by-june\">reopen as early as June\u003c/a>. And parks across the state are allowing for some vehicle access to parking lots, which have been closed for weeks. But with more options opening up, guidance for how to keep yourself and others safe in the great outdoors can be confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because, in part, counties across California are in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1963889/coronavirus-some-bay-area-counties-are-about-to-open-up-more-heres-where-your-county-stands\">different stages\u003c/a> of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shelter-in-place order, with varying public health guidelines applying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gloria Sandoval, deputy director of public affairs for California State Parks, understands how confusing that can be, and said the best thing visitors can do before Memorial Day – and throughout the summer months – is to check online before heading out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By doing that, they will find out what regulations are in place, restrictions, whether the park is even open, if there’s any parking,” Sandoval said. “That will ensure that they’re prepared to responsibly recreate in the outdoors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planning ahead is even more important with many local businesses still closed, or doing pickup only with limited hours. In some places that means if you forget an essential item — like sunscreen or water — you might be out of luck. Visitor centers will also be closed, so Lauretig said you should come prepared with a map of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And you should also make sure to have a backup plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before you even get into the park, think about some other hikes or other places you want to go visit,” Lauretig said. “Maybe Joshua Tree National Park is way too busy to go visit on Memorial Day weekend, there’s plenty of places to explore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before you get ready to head out, here are some recommendations:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Check out the park before you go\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some parks only have 50% parking lot capacity, some are only open for day use and others are closed entirely. Before you leave, call the park or check online to make sure you know the restrictions before you head out.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Plan ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember: Most bathroom facilities at parks are not open or will not have essential hygiene materials like soap or hand sanitizer.

While many organizations have transitioned to virtual advocacy, she and her team continue in-person visits despite concerns for their health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter said she tries to build a relationship with her patients, make them laugh and get their mind off of what’s happened to them. Wearing a face mask to protect against the spread of COVID-19 has made it more difficult to build rapport with patients who have just experienced trauma, Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your face shows your emotions, your expressions,” she said. “We have to wear masks. And so it changes the dynamic of the interaction and the intimacy and the compassion of the job as a whole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But concern can go both ways, Carter said, recalling one woman who was referred to her recently because of a domestic violence situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was laying in the bed, and I was talking to her, and I had the mask on, and the masks when you wear them … it makes you feel really hot. So I started sweating,” Carter recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She could see the worry on the face of her patient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, she had just gone through her worst day and she was looking at me with concern,” Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter continues to advocate not only for her patients but for her fellow health workers, taking on leadership roles within her union, Service Employees International Union Local 1021. During this time of increased challenges, “everybody’s sort of in their trauma response, and I think I’m fighting right now,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11813364\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11813364\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/007_KQED_DalyCity_MedicalWorkers_ShaneWard_04192020-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Shane Ward is a medical-surgical nurse at Seton Medical Center in Daly City.

Ward said she’s dedicated to her work, but to do it well, needs to stay safe herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people like me are considered technically a vulnerable population, or immunocompromised,” Ward said. “You can’t go into something … if it’s going to endanger yourself.

She is currently a nurse educator who works closely with patients to prepare them for every step of the surgery process — for her department, chest surgeries of the heart or lung or for cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She spends hours talking with patients, getting to know them, their family and their friends, she said. Often for a serious operation, patients want their loved ones involved in the process, she said.

Some were super elective, some had cancer,” she said. “They asked the surgeon, ‘Can I wait? I really don’t want to go in. I don’t want to go near a hospital.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a cancer survivor herself, Benson said she feels for these patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew how I felt going into my operation with my diagnosis of cancer,” she said. “I wanted to go in as quick as possible to get it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some patients were told that their surgeries could not wait, Benson said. When those patients asked whether they would be safe at the hospital or how many cases of COVID-19 were at the hospital, she could only reassure them that staff had put in place all necessary protocols to keep patients safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Benson said that her team was able to shift back to in-person post-operative visits, an important development because, “for heart patients, you almost have to look at them. You have to see the color of their skin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to look in their eyes,” she added. “Eyes change after heart surgery.

While many organizations have transitioned to virtual advocacy, she and her team continue in-person visits despite concerns for their health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter said she tries to build a relationship with her patients, make them laugh and get their mind off of what’s happened to them. Wearing a face mask to protect against the spread of COVID-19 has made it more difficult to build rapport with patients who have just experienced trauma, Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your face shows your emotions, your expressions,” she said. “We have to wear masks. And so it changes the dynamic of the interaction and the intimacy and the compassion of the job as a whole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But concern can go both ways, Carter said, recalling one woman who was referred to her recently because of a domestic violence situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was laying in the bed, and I was talking to her, and I had the mask on, and the masks when you wear them … it makes you feel really hot. So I started sweating,” Carter recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She could see the worry on the face of her patient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, she had just gone through her worst day and she was looking at me with concern,” Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter continues to advocate not only for her patients but for her fellow health workers, taking on leadership roles within her union, Service Employees International Union Local 1021. During this time of increased challenges, “everybody’s sort of in their trauma response, and I think I’m fighting right now,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
