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.",

And because we pay full price and we give a nice tip, they can pay their servers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, she said, it “provides some nurturing food in return to front-line medical staff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though it may seem minor, a weekly order can make a difference for an independent restaurant, according to Schwartz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[An] order of 40 to 50 meals brings in enough revenue to help keep two staff on payroll and can be the difference between keeping the lights on or shuttering entirely,” Schwartz said. “[Our] efforts are just as much for the restaurants as they are for the first responders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11810736\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11810736 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Brown_Sugar_Highland-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Brown_Sugar_Highland-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Brown_Sugar_Highland-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Brown_Sugar_Highland-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Brown_Sugar_Highland.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tanya Holland of Brown Sugar Kitchen making a delivery to Highland Hospital. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Jeremy Crandell)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Waldman did not initially plan in-depth safety protocols for her first delivery, but the team has now established protocols to both coordinate timing and maximize cleanliness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve liaised with the hospitals so we know when it’s best and when they most appreciate the meals,” Waldman said. “The restaurants that have signed on to provide the meals are following best practices on cleanliness.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California has cut its COVID-19 testing backlog by more than two-thirds, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Saturday, but has still managed to test less than one half of 1% of the state’s nearly 40 million residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I own that. I have a responsibility as your governor to do better,” the governor said during his daily press briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has tested 126,000 people. Of those, 13,000 test results are still pending as of Friday. That’s down from the 59,500 pending results that were reported Thursday. As of Friday, the state reported 12,026 confirmed COVID-19 cases, a 12.4% increase from the previous day, plus 276 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the state, cooped-up residents were pushing the limits of California’s stay-at-home order, with the San Diego County sheriff reporting issuing 22 citations to people near the beach in Encinitas, saying violators were doing things like having picnics near the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many beaches, parks and hiking trails around the state and most beach parking lots have been closed because they attracted large crowds. Death Valley National Park began closing Saturday, citing public health concerns during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has not stepped up statewide enforcement of his stay-at-home order. But he warned people to obey local authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state is always prepared to do more. I just want to encourage people, don’t force our hand in that respect,” Newsom said. “We cannot allow cabin fever to come in. We cannot allow people to start congregating again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That appears to include major sports leagues such as the NFL, which has three teams in California. Asked if he thought the football season would start on time in September with fans in the stands, Newsom said: “I’m not anticipating that happening in this state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom on Saturday praised the state’s counties for agreeing, on a case-by-case basis, to cancel property-tax penalties for homeowners, small businesses and other property owners who have a demonstrated economic hardship. The governor added, however, that property owners who can afford to pay these taxes should continue to pay on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is good news for Californians. I would like to thank the California State Association of Counties and the California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors for committing to providing economic relief for residents and small businesses facing hardships due to COVID-19,” Newsom said. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag='coronavirus' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor also signed an executive order temporarily suspending regulations to make it easier for essential workers in the health crisis such as nurses. doctors, emergency medical technicians, grocery workers and law enforcement officers to enroll their children in state-subsidized child care programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been about 12,700 confirmed cases of COVID-19 virus infections in California and about 280 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Los Angeles County announced 28 new deaths Saturday — by far the largest rise in fatalities in a day there — for a total of 117. The county also reported 711 new cases, bringing the total number of cases to more than 5,300.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the most dramatic increase in deaths we have seen since the COVID-19 crisis began, and our condolences go out to each and every person impacted by these heartbreaking losses,” the county’s public health officer, Barbara Ferrer, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus mainly is spread through coughs and sneezes. For most people, it causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most states, California has struggled to define the scope of the virus outbreak because of a lack of testing. Newsom said the Golden State was “turning the page on our old approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He announced new partnerships with University of California campuses in Davis and San Diego to set up between five to seven testing hubs. Plus, he said Illinois-based Abbott Laboratories had committed to setting up 75 testing sites throughout the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said researchers at Stanford University were close to getting approval for an antibody test that would tell not just whether someone has the virus, but also if they are immune. A spokeswoman for Stanford’s School of Medicine said one test is being performed as part of a study and another will be launched in its lab shortly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are now in a position where I can confidently say it is a new day,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s comments came the day before Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week for Christians. Most churches have moved their services online. But a few were defying public health officials by still having in-person worship services. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='large' align='right' citation='Gov. Gavin Newsom']'I own that. I have a responsibility as your governor to do better.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cross Culture Christian Center in Lodi, in the agricultural Central Valley, sent the city a “cease and desist” letter after police entered the church last week during a service attended by about 30 people. The church said the shelter-in-place orders violate its First Amendment rights regarding religious freedom and that it intended to continue its services, attorney Dean Broyles of the National Center for Law & Policy told the Sacramento Bee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health officials issued an order Friday closing the building the church uses for services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The faith-based community is all about love,” Newsom said. “If you love thy neighbor, you will practice physical distancing. You won’t put them in a congregant setting to put their lives at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom announced Saturday, but has still managed to test less than one half of 1% of the state’s nearly 40 million residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I own that. I have a responsibility as your governor to do better,” the governor said during his daily press briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has tested 126,000 people. Of those, 13,000 test results are still pending as of Friday. That’s down from the 59,500 pending results that were reported Thursday. As of Friday, the state reported 12,026 confirmed COVID-19 cases, a 12.4% increase from the previous day, plus 276 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the state, cooped-up residents were pushing the limits of California’s stay-at-home order, with the San Diego County sheriff reporting issuing 22 citations to people near the beach in Encinitas, saying violators were doing things like having picnics near the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many beaches, parks and hiking trails around the state and most beach parking lots have been closed because they attracted large crowds. Death Valley National Park began closing Saturday, citing public health concerns during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has not stepped up statewide enforcement of his stay-at-home order. But he warned people to obey local authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state is always prepared to do more. I just want to encourage people, don’t force our hand in that respect,” Newsom said. “We cannot allow cabin fever to come in. We cannot allow people to start congregating again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That appears to include major sports leagues such as the NFL, which has three teams in California. Asked if he thought the football season would start on time in September with fans in the stands, Newsom said: “I’m not anticipating that happening in this state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom on Saturday praised the state’s counties for agreeing, on a case-by-case basis, to cancel property-tax penalties for homeowners, small businesses and other property owners who have a demonstrated economic hardship. The governor added, however, that property owners who can afford to pay these taxes should continue to pay on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is good news for Californians. I would like to thank the California State Association of Counties and the California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors for committing to providing economic relief for residents and small businesses facing hardships due to COVID-19,” Newsom said. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Los Angeles County announced 28 new deaths Saturday — by far the largest rise in fatalities in a day there — for a total of 117. The county also reported 711 new cases, bringing the total number of cases to more than 5,300.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the most dramatic increase in deaths we have seen since the COVID-19 crisis began, and our condolences go out to each and every person impacted by these heartbreaking losses,” the county’s public health officer, Barbara Ferrer, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus mainly is spread through coughs and sneezes. For most people, it causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most states, California has struggled to define the scope of the virus outbreak because of a lack of testing. Newsom said the Golden State was “turning the page on our old approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He announced new partnerships with University of California campuses in Davis and San Diego to set up between five to seven testing hubs. Plus, he said Illinois-based Abbott Laboratories had committed to setting up 75 testing sites throughout the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said researchers at Stanford University were close to getting approval for an antibody test that would tell not just whether someone has the virus, but also if they are immune. A spokeswoman for Stanford’s School of Medicine said one test is being performed as part of a study and another will be launched in its lab shortly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are now in a position where I can confidently say it is a new day,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s comments came the day before Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week for Christians. Most churches have moved their services online. But a few were defying public health officials by still having in-person worship services. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The vast majority of the organization’s clients are charged with non-violent offenses, and more than half face prosecution for immigration offenses such as illegal entry or illegal re-entry to the U.S., lawyers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, lawyers with the Federal Defenders of San Diego have stopped visiting clients in jail, and are meeting with them by phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent days, attorneys have been gathering information from clients about coronavirus conditions in San Diego’s three federal jails: the Metropolitan Correctional Center, run by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons; the Western Region Detention Facility, run by the private company GEO Group; and the Otay Mesa Detention Center, run by another private company CoreCivic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far 45 inmates have responded to the questionnaire, and most have voiced fear of the disease and offered evidence that the jails are under pressure from the pandemic, said Joshua Jones, senior litigator at Federal Defenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the concerns Jones documented:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Sleeping arrangements make social distancing impossible, including in dorm-style units at the Metropolitan Correctional Center where bunks are spaced “an arm’s distance” apart and people report being “packed like sardines;”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>At meals and in TV rooms at the MCC and GEO Group facilities, people sit side by side, with up to eight people at a table;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>To reach the dining hall at the Core Civic facility, 20-25 people are squeezed into a locked sally port, where they stand shoulder to shoulder;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Insufficient soap is provided at all three jails, showers and bathrooms are shared by dozens of people and not cleaned between uses;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The water was off for three days at the GEO Group facility recently;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Inmates at MCC report sick detainees coughing for days, with some spitting blood into open trash cans, and one man who had to be carried to the bathroom by fellow detainees;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Guards at the GEO Group facility continue to perform physical searches and pat-downs of inmates;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>At least one guard at the Core Civic facility was diagnosed with COVID-19 and several inmates showed symptoms of the disease;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And some inmates do not want to report their symptoms for fear of being isolated in solitary confinement.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“There’s no way to prevent the fact that guards are coming in and out,” of the jails, said Jones. “Any introduction of COVID is going to spread like wildfire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to the findings of the questionnaire, Ryan Gustin, public affairs manager for CoreCivic, said that the company had learned on April 2 that a second employee at the Otay Mesa Detention Center had tested positive for COVID-19. Gustin said that the worker’s last shift was on March 20 and the person was currently isolated at home under medical supervision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Notification was made to other employees or contractors who may have been in contact with the individual who tested positive,” said Gustin in a statement. “Any employees who are known to have had direct contact with this individual will be directed to self-quarantine at home for 14 days, as recommended by the CDC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gustin also pointed KQED to a CoreCivic \u003ca href=\"https://www.corecivic.com/en/corecivic-statement-on-covid-19-prevention\">statement\u003c/a> about COVID-19 prevention, which says the company began preparing in January. The company’s plan includes: screening inmates and employees when they enter a facility; encouraging staff and inmates to wash hands and maintain social distance; disinfecting surfaces and providing gloves to guards conducting searches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"WordSection1\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A GEO group spokesperson released a statement to KQED through the company’s public relations firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We strongly reject these unfounded allegations, which we believe are being instigated by outside groups with political agendas,” the GEO statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public relations firm, Stutzman Public Affairs, also pointed to the company’s COVID-19 \u003ca href=\"https://www.geogroup.com/COVID19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">web page\u003c/a>, which says that GEO Group facilities are not overcrowded and provide access to regular hand-washing and round-the-clock health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau of Prisons did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Santa Clara County has 172 hotel rooms and 105 trailers for people experiencing homelessness who need to quarantine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was the crisis that predated the current crisis in the state of California,” Newsom said. “And we’re doing everything in our power to meet it head on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 151,000 California residents spend their nights in tents, cars, RVs and shelters.

They had to act quickly, prioritizing safety and working out a lot of other details on the fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staff from state, county and city departments worked with nonprofit and private organizations to prepare the two hotels in Alameda County for their first guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They had to find vehicles large enough to provide appropriate distance between the passengers and the driver — complete with a plastic sheet to act as a partition — and that could be be easily cleaned in between rides, Clanon said.

The county is offering support to people with addictions to alcohol or opiates, as well as providing over-the-counter medications for coughs or pain relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vivian Wan, the chief operating officer for Abode Services, said her team had to vet 220 applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had an HR machine behind the scenes not only finding folks, but training them quickly,” Wan said, “making sure they really understand trauma-informed care, understand what we’re doing, understand all the precautions we need to take.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone wants to go into the hotel rooms though, Lifelong’s Jason Reinking said. Some of the people his street medicine team have tried to place were concerned about losing their belongings because they could only take a bag’s worth with them into the hotel room. Abbott said they do have limited storage available for the belongings residents can’t bring into their room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the medically vulnerable residents, Abode will be working to figure out long-term housing placements for people staying at the hotels, Clanon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom said the more recent state-negotiated leases all include a right of first refusal to purchase the hotels when the state no longer needs them to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not just thinking short-term,” Newsom said. “We’re also beginning to … focus our energy around long-term support to get people off the streets in a permanent way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: This post has been updated to reflect more recent information related to the number of people being housed. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It’s a very sacred time, and yet, for this pandemic, it’s really important to limit spread.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans are expected to die from COVID-19, according to the latest projections from the Trump administration’s pandemic scientists.

Apple donated 140 iPads to UCSF to use in their telemedicine program, and the Stupski Foundation gave $275,000 to Highland Hospital in Oakland to fast-track the building of their telemedicine program so it can be operational for the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is a remote visit from a palliative care service as effective as an in-person visit where we’re sitting on the side of a bed and holding someone’s hand?

Especially in rural areas, they’ve wanted the ease of video visits so patients who are ill and in pain don’t have to go to the trouble of coming in to a doctor’s office. But the federal government has refused to pay doctors for most video visits and insisted on various rules and restrictions, including making patients in rural areas drive to local clinics for a telemedicine appointment rather than doing it from their own home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus has forced some changes, and just two weeks ago, the feds abruptly shifted policy. At a White House press briefing on March 17, Seema Verma, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the agency was dropping the restrictions, as well as the fines doctors faced for using unapproved technology. She encouraged doctors to go digital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Doctors can provide telehealth with their own phones,” Verma said. “In an emergency, those on the frontlines shouldn’t have to worry about federal rules and red tape hamstringing them when they need flexibility above all else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors can now get reimbursed for a video visit at the same rate as an in-person office visit, whether the patient or the doctor is at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in a system where the only way physicians’ practices keep the lights on is through what they’re able to bill,” said Chris Acevedo, who runs Acevedo Consulting, a health care billing firm in Delray Beach, Florida. “Without the changes that the government put in place, there would really be zero access to telehealth because the doctors wouldn’t have any remuneration for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy changes will encourage the uptake of telemedicine, Acevedo said, and by extension, increase access to palliative care for patients. That includes people who are sick and dying from COVID-19, but also patients who are sick at home with other serious illnesses, some of whom are dying and some who will recover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rae Anne McLaughlin was one of those patients a few years ago. After she went through 12 rounds of chemotherapy and 35 radiation treatments to treat her stage four head and neck cancer, the last thing she wanted was to drive 70 miles from her home on Long Island to the hospital in the city. She had a palliative care team that would call her up and have normal conversations — not science jargon — about how she was feeling, what she could do about the tingling in her hands and feet and how to manage the opioids she was taking for pain. All of this was over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was fabulous,” McLaughlin recalled. “I didn’t have to shower if I didn’t feel like it. Imagine just feeling really, really crummy and then having to get in a car and drive an hour and a half. I didn’t want to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had private insurance that covered the telephone calls. She’s fully recovered now, three years later, but she can still email her palliative care team. And she did recently to ask whether she was more at risk for becoming ill from coronavirus and to get advice about how to protect herself. They told her to stay home and get her exercise in her house and backyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before the coronavirus pandemic, palliative care specialists — including doctors, nurses and social workers — were in short supply. The subspecialty “didn’t get formal approval until 2007, and we didn’t start training palliative care specialists in any kind of serious numbers until recently,” said Dr. Diane Meier, director of the national Center to Advance Palliative Care and a gerontologist at Mount Sinai Health Systems in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meier knew they wouldn’t have enough palliative care specialists at her hospital to meet the demand of COVID-19 patients needing pain and symptom relief, especially shortness of breath. Her plan was to train frontline emergency department doctors and nurses how to do this themselves, but patients overwhelmed the hospital so fast, they didn’t have time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re getting a new patient in the door of the ED (emergency department) every 30 seconds,” she said. “So we’re creating things like pocket cards and 24/7 hotline numbers that a clinician can call at any hour of the day or night to get very specific advice: ‘What dose do I use? What do I do if it doesn’t work? How long do I wait before I give more?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But delivering bad news and having tough conversations is a skill they can’t easily delegate. And because COVID-19 can progress so quickly — with patients going from okay to barely able to breathe in an hour — there’s so little time to talk with patients about what kind of care they’re willing to have, what’s important to them and what they want for the end of their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11810593\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11810593\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42522_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_StevePantilatMD_04032020-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Steve Pantilat, chief of palliative care at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is working to provide care remotely during coronavirus shelter-in-place orders.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42522_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_StevePantilatMD_04032020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42522_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_StevePantilatMD_04032020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42522_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_StevePantilatMD_04032020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42522_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_StevePantilatMD_04032020-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Steve Pantilat, chief of palliative care at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is working to provide care remotely during coronavirus shelter-in-place orders. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>UCSF’s Pantilat says everyone should be having these conversations with their loved ones now.

Just last month, we had another wedding for someone who was dying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the age of coronavirus, none of this is happening. There’s too much risk of visitors getting sick or infecting critical frontline staff, and there’s not enough protective equipment to go around. So the new policy at UCSF and hospitals across the country is: One visitor, and only for patients who are actively dying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that’s really, really, really distressing for everyone involved,” Pantilat said. “We’ve never really faced this before, trying to make these really gut wrenching decisions about visitation of when and who and how many. It’s a very sacred time, and yet, for this pandemic, it’s really important to limit spread.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans are expected to die from COVID-19, according to the latest projections from the Trump administration’s pandemic scientists.
