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

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has suggested nursing homes should dedicate “if possible” a wing or unit for patients transferred from hospitals. Its only \u003ca href=\"https://www.cms.gov/files/document/qso-20-14-nh-revised.pdf\">guidance\u003c/a> for nursing homes accepting patients from hospitals during the pandemic is that they should admit anyone they’d normally admit to their facility as long as they can follow CDC guidelines to prevent infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without more specific federal direction, states are making up their own rules about what role skilled nursing facilities must play in housing recovering COVID-19 patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York is requiring nursing homes \u003ca href=\"https://www.justiceinaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Nursing-Facilities-and-Assisted-Living-During-the-COVID-19-Outbreak-4.3.20.pdf\">to accept patients\u003c/a> at the request of public health officials, no exceptions.

In two weeks, I’m sending them back 20 new patients,” he said. “No facilities have the kind of personal protective equipment they need. We don’t have isolation gowns, we’re out. We’d ordered as many as we can and we used them. You know what we’re using? We are using patient hospital gowns for our caregivers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only approach that makes sense, Marco and other nursing home doctors say, is to use other facilities for recovering patients that don’t already have vulnerable seniors living there. “This is these people’s home and you cannot bring a COVID-positive person into a senior’s home, everyone would agree with that,” Marco said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, California’s Public Health Department has not required any nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients to free up hospital beds, but those orders — if they come — are likely to originate from county health departments. Some nursing homes are trying to prepare for this worst-case scenario, including the Campus for Jewish Living in San Francisco, which has prepared a separate wing where COVID-patients from hospitals could recover, the San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Ordered-by-the-state-SF-nursing-home-prepares-to-15185950.php\">reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Dr. Noah Marco, Chief Medical Officer of Los Angeles Jewish Home\"]‘I’m not taking in a COVID-positive patient for the sole purpose of emptying one hospital bed.

Newsom to deploy what he called “SWAT teams” of infectious disease experts to assist nursing homes experiencing large outbreaks, and 600 public health nurses more generally to help homes improve infection control. The state also will provide $500 stipends to as many as 50,000 nursing home workers, a consequence of a Facebook donation of up to $25 million. Officials also plan to offer \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2020/04/california-hotel-rooms-coronavirus-health-care-workers-covid-19/\">free or heavily discounted hotel rooms to infected or exposed nursing home workers\u003c/a> who don’t need to be hospitalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also said that more non-COVID-19 patients could be treated and recover on the hospital ship Mercy, docked at the Port of Los Angeles to reduce the burden on overloaded hospitals.

One COVID-positive certified nursing assistant, not among the no-shows, \u003ca href=\"https://www.pe.com/2020/04/13/woman-20-who-worked-at-riverside-nursing-home-with-outbreak-dies-from-coronavirus/\">has died\u003c/a>, a relative said Monday. Contra Costa County health officials asked the state to take over management of the Orinda Care Center after nearly a third of its staff members \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/east-bay/county-seeks-state-takeover-of-orinda-nursing-home-with-past-safety-violations/2270654/\">fell ill\u003c/a> along with 27 patients, two of whom died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 1,266 patients or staff in California’s 1,244 skilled nursing facilities have been infected to date, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAgovernor/videos/665608347538933/\">online press conference\u003c/a>. California public health officials are monitoring 191 nursing homes with infected patients or staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in trying to secure their facilities against viral intrusion, some nursing homes may run afoul of state public health officials, who have said that to free up hospital beds, skilled nursing facilities \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHCQ/LCP/Pages/AFL-20-33.aspx\">may be required\u003c/a> to accept recovering COVID-19 patients — even if they’re still infectious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After an outcry from the nursing home industry, the controversial requirement was loosened so that nursing homes may refuse to accept these patients if the facilities lack adequate protective gear for workers or other ways to prevent transmission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nursing homes are NOT the right place for the virus patients,” nursing home resident Dorothea Lack, an 81-year-old retired psychotherapist with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, wrote in an email to CalMatters. “They are like incubators. These helpless, fragile patients should not be exposed to this virulent disease! Just because they are old and helpless is not an excuse for risking their lives, without their knowledge or consent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom laid out an approach Tuesday for how he plans to eventually unwind the restrictions California has enacted to slow the spread of the coronavirus, guidelines that have altered daily life for millions of residents over the past month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parameters unveiled by Newsom, released in concert with similar plans from the governors of Oregon and Washington, stand as a regional statement to the Trump administration that states are moving ahead with their own plans on how and when to exit sheltering in place. [aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not out of the woods yet, we are not spiking the ball,” Newsom said, while acknowledging that a sheltered existence “can’t be a permanent state. It will not be a permanent state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focus on what Newsom called “the light at the end of the tunnel” is an acknowledgement that California’s aggressive efforts to mitigate a disastrous COVID-19 outbreak have been largely successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As residents have mostly stayed in their homes for more than a month, hospitals have yet to see the kind of surge in patients that many initially feared. And while overnight deaths from the coronavirus reached a new peak of 71 on Monday, the number of Californians in intensive care slightly declined overnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those positive signs have allowed Newsom and his team to turn their attention to what the governor labeled \"the most difficult and challenging phase\" of California's coronavirus response: easing the restrictions that have kept millions indoors, shuttered businesses and classrooms, and prohibited large gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's presentation on Tuesday was more of a roadmap than a timeline. He didn't provide a date when the shelter-in-place order would be lifted, and he cautioned that any such announcement would likely wait until May, when the state could have greater clarity on case numbers and hospital supplies. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Newsom laid out six “indicators” that he said will guide his administration’s decisions on how and when to end the statewide stay-at-home order:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The ability to monitor and protect our communities through testing, contact tracing, isolating and supporting those who are positive or exposed;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The ability to prevent infection in people who are at risk for more severe COVID-19;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The ability of the hospital and health systems to handle surges;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The ability to develop therapeutics to meet the demand;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The ability for businesses, schools and child care facilities to support physical distancing; and\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The ability to determine when to reinstitute certain measures, such as the stay-at-home orders, if necessary.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The list begins with testing and tracing: the ability to identify who has the virus and any contacts who may have been infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency, said the state does not have a target level of testing to prompt ending the order, but he hopes to see tens of thousands of tests being conducted daily by the end of April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With outbreaks of coronavirus sprouting up in nursing homes across the state, Newsom's plan emphasized the need to protect at-risk populations from future outbreaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as the state has moved to increase the production and acquisition of hospital beds for patients and protective equipment for health care workers, Newsom stressed that any relaxation of guidelines would have to be accompanied by an ability to handle further surges in cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we loosen the stay-at-home order, ultimately and eventually the prospects of increased infection spreads,\" Newsom said. \"We need to make sure that that infrastructure is protected and those assets are well prepared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The roadmap also called for the development of therapeutics to help treat Californians who become infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is so much innovation and advancement in our medical community here in California,\" said Dr. Sonia Angell, director of the state's Department of Public Health. \"We have a unique opportunity to collaborate and make sure that these therapeutics continue to evolve.\" [pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Gov. Gavin Newsom']'There’s no light switch here ... I would argue it’s more like a dimmer.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angell did not detail whether the state would be involved in funding research into coronavirus therapeutics, which pharmaceutical companies have often deprioritized because of the lack of a permanent consumer base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final two steps on the governor's checklist signaled that a reopening would not mean a return to life that existed before the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angell said businesses, schools and child care facilities should be prepared to maintain physical distancing and that the state should be prepared to reenter a lockdown if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a conversation about modifying, about transitioning to a point in the future to when COVID-19 does not pose a threat,\" Angell added. \"It won’t look the same.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gradual and halting move toward reopening will involve \"more individual accountability, more individual responsibility,\" said Newsom, predicting a future of regular mask wearing, of restaurant waiters serving distanced tables with gloves and disposable menus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s no light switch here,\" Newsom said. \"I would argue it’s more like a dimmer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom emphasized that his administration's action will be a \"baseline guidance\" to inform the decisions on distancing and mask wearing by the state's 58 counties and hundreds of municipalities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will be guided by local decision making,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a day after President Trump declared \"ultimate authority\" in the decision to lift physical distancing guidelines, Newsom was eager to promote his roadmap's regional reach. When asked to comment on Trump's assertion, Newsom declined to take the bait, saying, \"I'm not going there. I just want to get stuff done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governors of Washington and Oregon vowed to follow similar prerequisites for opening as California, and Newsom said other western states could soon join.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While we have to be careful, we also cannot stand still,\" said Oregon Gov.

It will not be a permanent state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focus on what Newsom called “the light at the end of the tunnel” is an acknowledgement that California’s aggressive efforts to mitigate a disastrous COVID-19 outbreak have been largely successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As residents have mostly stayed in their homes for more than a month, hospitals have yet to see the kind of surge in patients that many initially feared. And while overnight deaths from the coronavirus reached a new peak of 71 on Monday, the number of Californians in intensive care slightly declined overnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those positive signs have allowed Newsom and his team to turn their attention to what the governor labeled \"the most difficult and challenging phase\" of California's coronavirus response: easing the restrictions that have kept millions indoors, shuttered businesses and classrooms, and prohibited large gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's presentation on Tuesday was more of a roadmap than a timeline. He didn't provide a date when the shelter-in-place order would be lifted, and he cautioned that any such announcement would likely wait until May, when the state could have greater clarity on case numbers and hospital supplies. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many employees, including psychiatric technicians, registered nurses, rehabilitation therapists and psychologists, interact closely with them daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, not all staff are taking precautions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hospitals only recently began issuing one surgical mask per day to all employees. Those can prevent the spread of contamination by the wearer. The N95 masks, which protect the wearer against outside infection, have been doled out more selectively to staff “working in higher risk situations” with patients known or suspected to be carrying the virus, state officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, according to interviews and internal emails shared by staff, wearing a surgical mask remains voluntary, except at Patton, where administrators last Thursday informed employees that a San Bernardino County public health order now requires it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One clinician, who asked not to be named because management instructs employees not to speak to reporters, said that there were “a significant number of people who work at Patton who are not wearing masks, not wearing gloves, not practicing social distancing. People are sharing pens. You have people who are taking this extremely seriously working next to people who aren’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could prove tragic, as many patients are elderly and others have underlying health conditions due to medication side effects and poor self-care, among them obesity, diabetes and hepatitis C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaime Garcia, who works at Coalinga State Hospital and is that facility’s president of the California Association of Psychiatric Technicians, said the workers he represents “are basically making a choice on whether they wear a mask or not.”[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Anthony Hernandez, Father of patient at Patton State Hospital\"]‘There are so many families going bananas right now because we haven’t been able to see our kids, to keep them going while they’re in there.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, he said, employees concerned that existing supplies won’t last have been buying or making their own. Paul Hannula, the union’s chapter president at Atascadero State Hospital, said his wife, also a psychiatric technician, has also been making hand sanitizer at home at night to bring behind the gates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are doing everything we can, all day, every day since this started to make it as safe as possible for our members,” Hannula said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the loved ones of patients inside the system, the uncertainty of the past few weeks has felt like forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are so many families going bananas right now because we haven’t been able to see our kids, to keep them going while they’re in there,” said Hernandez, the respiratory therapist, who asked that his son not be named to protect his medical privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of the three to four visits a week, complete with picnic lunches, the family must now rely on phone calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told his dad that each unit gets yard time alone now, with plenty of space. But inside, social distancing isn’t happening, for patients or most staff. Treatment groups and most patient jobs have been suspended. Still, he’s doing OK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like to play guitar on the unit, I like to exercise, I like to read books,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the changes have been hard on other patients. One friend, he said, “Used to be kind of like a busy person. He has a job, but now he’s doing nothing and he’s staring at the ceiling on his bed and talking to himself. I didn’t expect him to decompensate the way he has.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez said his son’s treatment team recommended him for release a full year ago, though he’s still awaiting acceptance to a conditional release program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the family members, we want our kids out of there that don’t need to be in there,” he said, “just like what’s happening in the criminal justice system, in the jails and so on.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

You have people who are taking this extremely seriously working next to people who aren’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could prove tragic, as many patients are elderly and others have underlying health conditions due to medication side effects and poor self-care, among them obesity, diabetes and hepatitis C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaime Garcia, who works at Coalinga State Hospital and is that facility’s president of the California Association of Psychiatric Technicians, said the workers he represents “are basically making a choice on whether they wear a mask or not.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She and six other principals, whose higher salaries might disqualify them from the coronavirus federal cash aid, also plan to donate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iverson-Comelo estimates about two thirds of the families at her school, which mostly serves low-income students in preschool to fifth grade, have no earnings now. Most of those parents don’t qualify for unemployment insurance or stimulus checks, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maria, the mother of a fourth grader at Bridges Academy, said her family’s financial situation turned dire after her husband, a waiter at a Berkeley hotel, was furloughed nearly a month ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maria is one of the parents of about 14,000 students OUSD officials say are picking free \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/Page/19078\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“grab and go” meals\u003c/a> at designated schools each Monday and Thursday. But she fears her family won’t be able to pay their $1,100 rent next month, and other bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m worried. I don’t know what’s going to happen next month, and how long this will continue,” said Maria, a homemaker who, along with her husband, has lived in the U.S. for more than 11 years.

You don't want to hurt your dog,\" said Caiola. \"It's very stressful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, the dogs' behavior wasn't the only thing that was suddenly different. Like many of us, Caiola was now spending her days working from home. Instead of seeing Pepper after work for playtime and snuggles, she was planted at the dining room table, calling sources, concentrating on edits and churning out articles on heavy topics like domestic violence victims forced to shelter in place with their abusers, and how undocumented Californians with COVID-19 are getting treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that I'm working at [home], I think [Pepper] feels that she needs to be next to my desk,” Caiola said. \"So she's, you know, not like going and having fun like she used to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=news_11808959,news_11809331]Freaked out by Pepper's violent turn, Caiola called her dog’s trainer, and was surprised to hear that she wasn’t the only one concerned about new behavior problems.

Sunny and Pepper now have crates. Both dogs are taking '\"doggy Prozac\" (aka Fluoxetine), prescribed by their vets. The goal is to raise their threshold for anxiety, so they aren't so easily triggered by each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before sheltering in place, all four housemates and both dogs were able to easily hang out in the living room together and relax, Caiola said. Now, she’s just hoping the two dogs can soon be together in the same room again, even if it has to be on a leash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, she said, \"the prerogative is really keeping them apart until we feel that they're calm.” [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caiola's advice to other people whose pets are acting up is to “definitely make sure that you get multiple opinions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other suggestions Caiola gathered through her reporting include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Maintain your pet’s typical routine.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If your dog is exhibiting symptoms of extreme stress (like aggressive behavior), call your veterinarian to ask about behavioral treatment.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Keep an eye on how your emotional state might be affecting your pet.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Give your pet some alone time.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read Caiola's full story \u003ca href=\"https://www.capradio.org/articles/2020/04/08/stress-during-covid-19-can-affect-your-dog-or-cat-heres-what-you-can-do/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
