"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

That is to sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Sleep at the dawn of COVID-19\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This reversible state of disengagement with the world is one of the most important protective and restorative factors in human life.

Moreover, sleep is indispensable for maintaining immunological function, which is key to preventing and \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1152/physrev.00010.2018\">recovering from infectious diseases like COVID-19 \u003c/a>. Losing sleep makes people more susceptible to viral infections, and it undermines recovery from the common cold as well as \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/%2010.1001/archinternmed.2008.505\">more serious conditions \u003c/a>.

Research we have conducted over the past few years using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data on hundreds of thousands of Americans suggests that the smartphone age has led to \u003ca href=\"https://www.news.iastate.edu/news/2017/10/19/smartphonesleep\">substantial deterioration in both duration and quality of sleep\u003c/a>. A case in point, a recent analysis that my team conducted suggests that over the past five years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/nearly-five-million-americans-struggling-161805004.html\">millions more Americans\u003c/a> report sleeping problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the psychological toll is not too far away, but it will register most forcefully after the infection rates start to decline. Once the pandemic peaks and the physical damage to bodies start to wane, only then will the full consequences of this pandemic on our well-being be apparent. Inevitable increases in psychological complaints, suicide and substance-use disorders need to be anticipated and mitigated now. Recall that after the “Great Recession” of 2008-09 there were \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180301094841.htm;%20https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2014/06/11/318885533/suicide-rate-in-u-s-and-europe-climbed-during-great-recession\">millions more people with health and psychological problems in both U.S. and Europe\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how to go about protecting our sleep? Besides the threats and challenges, this time actually provides hidden opportunities as well. When is the last time that the majority of any population stayed at home for days, often without need to use alarm clocks?!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides connecting with those closest to us, many of us can sleep in and organize lives in ways that suit our biological ticker. Larks can go to bed earlier and owls can snooze in.

It was a recorded message delivering the same news. Whole Foods workers across the nation have received similar messages when one of their co-workers at the Amazon.com-owned grocery chain tests positive for COVID-19, including recently in \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/story/2020-03-26/worker-at-h-b-whole-foods-market-tests-positive-for-coronavirus\">Huntington Beach\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://abc7chicago.com/whole-foods-coronavirus-sauganash-chicago/6061435/\">Chicago\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, no Whole Foods stores in the U.S. have been shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement emailed to KQED Monday, a Whole Foods spokesperson confirmed that a worker at the Stanyan Street store had tested positive for COVID-19. The spokesperson said the safety of workers and customers is Whole Foods' top priority, and that the Stanyan Street location performed an additional cleaning and disinfection on top of enhanced sanitation practices already in place at all stores during the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As long as the crisis continues, Whole Foods says it is \"enhancing its daily cleanliness and sanitation protocols\" at all of its stores, operating under social distancing guidelines and closing stores up to two hours early to give workers more time to restock shelves, sanitize and rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘They Don't Want Us to Tell Customers’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Still, two Whole Foods employees at the Stanyan Street location told KQED they have concerns about the store’s transparency with both workers and customers. The workers spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of losing their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm super concerned because regardless of whether or not I am a healthy young man, I don't know how the coronavirus is going to affect me or the people that I know, and the people who I live with,” said one worker who attended the Saturday meeting. “They don't want us to tell customers. They want us to direct customers to our store team leader.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worker said management told employees that the infected person was last at the store on March 15, almost exactly two weeks before employees were told about the person's positive COVID-19 test result on March 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question is, why wasn't [that person] in the store for the last two weeks and when did they actually get notified that [that person] had coronavirus?” the employee wondered. “Whether or not they think we should be quarantined doesn't mean we don't think that we should be quarantined if we were in contact with that person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another employee said she was never notified by management and had to hear about the confirmed case from coworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people who are working at Whole Foods don't really have a choice but to go to work because at the end of the day, we all still have to pay rent,” said the employee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The employees KQED spoke with said three workers who may have had contact with the infected worker were sent home Friday to self-quarantine – but that those three workers were back at work on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Whole Foods spokesperson said employees at all stores have been asked to self-quarantine for two weeks if they had close contact with a coworker who is confirmed to have the coronavirus. Employees will get two weeks of pay if they isolate after contact with a confirmed case – but only if the self-quarantine is recommended by Whole Foods or a health care professional, the spokesperson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the store cannot disclose details on coronavirus cases to respect workers' privacy, the spokesperson said Whole Foods gives two weeks of paid time off to workers who test positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Workers Demand More Protections\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/WholeWorkerWFM?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\">Whole Worker\u003c/a>, an advocacy group that describes itself as a \"grassroots movement\" of Whole Foods team members working to unionize, spearheaded a \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-03-31/whole-foods-coronavirus-sick-out\">nationwide sickout on Tuesday\u003c/a> to demand paid leave for all workers who self-quarantine, the immediate shutdown of any store where a worker tests positive for the coronavirus and hazard pay of double wages while the crisis continues. Whole Foods has relaxed its attendance policy in light of the pandemic, and Whole Worker said employees participating in Tuesday's sickout can do so without fear of reprisal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is disappointing that a small but vocal group, many of whom are not employed by Whole Foods Market, have been given a platform to inaccurately portray the collective voice of our 95,000 plus Team Members who are heroically showing up every day to provide our communities with an essential service,\" said a Whole Foods spokesperson Tuesday in an email, in reference to Whole Worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whole Foods has been paying workers $2 per hour more than their usual wages in light of the coronavirus pandemic. But the Stanyan Street employees said that's not enough to compensate for the risk they're taking, and, echoing the Whole Worker demands, said they want hazard pay double their wages and a temporary shutdown of the store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They send us an email of their sales every day and they are killing it right now,” said one employee. “Just on a store level, they've already made enough to probably cover everyone's PTO for two weeks while they sanitize the store and make sure no one else has it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two employees are concerned by how store leadership is communicating sanitization protocols to employees in general and want every worker to have \"extensive training\" on sanitization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're supposed to be sanitizing our registers, I guess, every 30 minutes to an hour. But I was told by my team leader and by my store team leader that it was OK to be doing it every three hours. And then I hear again later that it's actually a different way,\" said one employee. \"There's all these different things on our online portal website of how to actually sanitize correctly [which] I've never actually been told. And I'm the one in charge of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two employees aren’t attending work Tuesday to participate in the sickout.

It was a recorded message delivering the same news. Whole Foods workers across the nation have received similar messages when one of their co-workers at the Amazon.com-owned grocery chain tests positive for COVID-19, including recently in \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/story/2020-03-26/worker-at-h-b-whole-foods-market-tests-positive-for-coronavirus\">Huntington Beach\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://abc7chicago.com/whole-foods-coronavirus-sauganash-chicago/6061435/\">Chicago\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, no Whole Foods stores in the U.S. have been shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement emailed to KQED Monday, a Whole Foods spokesperson confirmed that a worker at the Stanyan Street store had tested positive for COVID-19. The spokesperson said the safety of workers and customers is Whole Foods' top priority, and that the Stanyan Street location performed an additional cleaning and disinfection on top of enhanced sanitation practices already in place at all stores during the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As long as the crisis continues, Whole Foods says it is \"enhancing its daily cleanliness and sanitation protocols\" at all of its stores, operating under social distancing guidelines and closing stores up to two hours early to give workers more time to restock shelves, sanitize and rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘They Don't Want Us to Tell Customers’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Still, two Whole Foods employees at the Stanyan Street location told KQED they have concerns about the store’s transparency with both workers and customers. The workers spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of losing their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm super concerned because regardless of whether or not I am a healthy young man, I don't know how the coronavirus is going to affect me or the people that I know, and the people who I live with,” said one worker who attended the Saturday meeting. “They don't want us to tell customers. They want us to direct customers to our store team leader.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worker said management told employees that the infected person was last at the store on March 15, almost exactly two weeks before employees were told about the person's positive COVID-19 test result on March 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question is, why wasn't [that person] in the store for the last two weeks and when did they actually get notified that [that person] had coronavirus?” the employee wondered. “Whether or not they think we should be quarantined doesn't mean we don't think that we should be quarantined if we were in contact with that person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Employees will get two weeks of pay if they isolate after contact with a confirmed case – but only if the self-quarantine is recommended by Whole Foods or a health care professional, the spokesperson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the store cannot disclose details on coronavirus cases to respect workers' privacy, the spokesperson said Whole Foods gives two weeks of paid time off to workers who test positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Whole Foods has relaxed its attendance policy in light of the pandemic, and Whole Worker said employees participating in Tuesday's sickout can do so without fear of reprisal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is disappointing that a small but vocal group, many of whom are not employed by Whole Foods Market, have been given a platform to inaccurately portray the collective voice of our 95,000 plus Team Members who are heroically showing up every day to provide our communities with an essential service,\" said a Whole Foods spokesperson Tuesday in an email, in reference to Whole Worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whole Foods has been paying workers $2 per hour more than their usual wages in light of the coronavirus pandemic. But the Stanyan Street employees said that's not enough to compensate for the risk they're taking, and, echoing the Whole Worker demands, said they want hazard pay double their wages and a temporary shutdown of the store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They send us an email of their sales every day and they are killing it right now,” said one employee. “Just on a store level, they've already made enough to probably cover everyone's PTO for two weeks while they sanitize the store and make sure no one else has it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two employees are concerned by how store leadership is communicating sanitization protocols to employees in general and want every worker to have \"extensive training\" on sanitization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're supposed to be sanitizing our registers, I guess, every 30 minutes to an hour. But I was told by my team leader and by my store team leader that it was OK to be doing it every three hours. And then I hear again later that it's actually a different way,\" said one employee. \"There's all these different things on our online portal website of how to actually sanitize correctly [which] I've never actually been told. And I'm the one in charge of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two employees aren’t attending work Tuesday to participate in the sickout.

"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>I have a confession. I don’t know most of my neighbors. I don’t even know the names of everyone on my floor. I live in a tall condo building in Oakland, with a towering view of Piedmont and the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s the kind of building where you can nod to a neighbor for years, without thinking about the interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No more. Because right now, almost all of us are home together. Thinking about, or trying not to think about, the virus. Our lives intersect in new ways. Our interactions will follow suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COVID-19 has transformed my world. My one-bedroom is now my office, tiny gym and portal to the friends I miss hugging and to my parents, who are holed up in the North Bay and haven’t set foot outside since shelter-in-place orders took effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent days, I’ve struggled with my emotions and video chatted with my therapist. I’ve had good days when I am overwhelmed with gladness to be part of a team at KQED whose coverage of this pandemic, deemed an “essential service,” has become more essential than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not the only one in my building who’s struggling to find our way in a new landscape with no view of the horizon. The coronavirus is an unspoken part of every interaction. And the fear is there, too. We fear getting each other sick, and we fear what might happen to us if we were to fall ill. My 119-unit building has about 180 residents. For the next few weeks or months, we’ll almost all be living and working here in our little units, separated by a concrete wall and under one roof. I started wondering: How are we all coping so far?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Our ‘Land-Based Cruise Ship’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I put up a note on the bulletin board in the mail room, asking my neighbors to reach out and tell me their stories. The first one who did was Gina Belleci, who lives on the sixth floor. She and her girlfriend, Jessica Holt, have been sheltering together since Gina’s startup sent everyone home. She now telecommutes from a small table wedged next to the kitchen, while Jessica works with her laptop propped up on a dresser in the bedroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Gina Belleci\"]”I think we just really need to band together. And these small, tiny ways they really add up. And it's generosity breeds generosity. I feel really excited to be part of this building to see what happens here.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gina says some of her days are spent in “silent panic” mode. Other times, she feels optimistic. Gina and Jessica take care of their neighbors. Lately they've been handing out toilet paper and grocery shopping for an elderly friend on the eighth floor, who really should not leave the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we just really need to band together. And these small, tiny ways really add up,” said Gina. ”It's generosity breeds generosity. I feel really excited to be part of this building to see what happens here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica is a freelance theater director, and she told me that her prospects have become extremely uncertain, very quickly. All of her upcoming theater productions have been canceled, and the same is true industry-wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all I've really practiced as a trade, as a craft, my entire life,” she told me. “I'm not going to lie — the other night, I sort of threw myself into a little heap. And I and I keep saying, well, we're going to get through this. There will come a time when we return to normal. But will we? Will we ever be able to return to normal? I don't know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They told me that they’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Gina’s 74-year-old mother lives in Antioch and doesn’t have anyone to take care of her. They worry that the longer they spend in a building with 180-odd people, the likelier they are to pick up the coronavirus and bring it back to Gina’s mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I either need to choose being with her, to be able to go get things for her just to keep her in the house, or we need to really commit to this land-based cruise ship we live on — which is so big and has so many people coming in and out,” said Gina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they’ve packed their suitcases for a month and said goodbye to their neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s right about the sanitation issue. Our building’s maintenance man has gone home, and there is no cleaning regime, which I suspect is true of many large apartment buildings here in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a building like mine, where space is limited, it’s nice to be able to open your door and have a conversation with someone you meet by the elevators or in the mailroom. But each of those touch points now could be vectors for infection. Elevator buttons. Door knobs. I’ve taken to wearing gloves just to go downstairs or when I’m in the laundry room. When people see you inside an elevator they’re waiting for, they give a tight smile and wait for the next one. Even the mailroom has started to feel a little snug. People don’t linger to enjoy those conversations anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11809726\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11809726\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42443_Dina-Mackin_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut-800x698.jpg\" alt=\"Dina Mackin enjoys a glass of rosé as she watches the sunset from her rooftop while sheltering in place.\" width=\"800\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42443_Dina-Mackin_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut-800x698.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42443_Dina-Mackin_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut-160x140.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42443_Dina-Mackin_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut-1020x890.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42443_Dina-Mackin_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dina Mackin enjoys a glass of rosé as she watches the sunset from her rooftop while sheltering in place. \u003ccite>(Julia Scott/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So it was a pleasure to receive a text from my neighbor Dina Mackin on the third floor. “Want to meet up on the roof to see the sunset?” it read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I got there, Dina had a glass of rosé in her hand and was standing in front of a darkening view of West Oakland and in the distance, the Golden Gate Bridge. “This is what I have to do every day to keep my sanity,” she said. “The beauty of just seeing something so simple that happens every single day, that marks the passing of time. You just appreciate it more and more. And this is the time to appreciate it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As she spoke, I realized that I hadn’t been outside in two days. This was the first time I’d tasted fresh air. When days start to run together, watching the sunset is an important form of closure. Even better to watch it with a neighbor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dina agreed. “This is one of the few things we're still able to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On the Front Lines\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Katie Stephenson, my neighbor on the second floor, cannot shelter in place because she is a second-year pediatrics resident at Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center. I barely see her as she darts in and out to shower, sleep and drink some coffee before heading back out to the hospital for another 12-hour shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke to her on an evening she had just tested negative for COVID-19. She had a post-allergy season cough so her doctor sent her to have a test. But she assumes that it’s only a matter of time before she does get the coronavirus, so she’s careful to limit her contacts within the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mission is just to keep my germs confined to my little space and not let them get out,” she said. “But I also think that if I'm one of the people who gets COVID-19, that I would do fine — most people my age, if we’re healthy, we do fine. I think a lot of people in my residency program, myself included, are very likely to get it and are very likely to do fine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie has been on the pediatrics ward for the past three weeks. She sees children who have been admitted because their parents are afraid they might have COVID-19. All medical staff must wear personal protective equipment — essentially hazmat suits — and masks around the children, which is profoundly unsettling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are nurses wearing the suits, and there's multiple doctors coming in wearing the suits. It’s scary,” she said. She tries to defuse the fear by making her young patients smile. “I have some stickers that my mom sent for St. Patrick's Day. They're all green. And so I have been bringing in stickers and putting them on my suit. Or I’ll draw like a smiley face, to be a big yellow smiley-face person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie’s supervisor has told her group that they’re running a marathon, and so far they’ve only run half a mile. They need to remember to pace themselves. Luckily, Katie is an actual marathon runner — she’s done three of them — so she knows when to push herself. Her freezer is stuffed with homemade dinners prepared by her mother — a source of comfort at the end of another long day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Katie Stephenson\"]”My mission is just to keep my germs confined to my little space and not let them get out.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My neighbor Alexa Eurich is also running a marathon of sorts. Somehow, she’s had to find a way to teach her combined classroom of kindergarten and first grade students from her apartment on the fourth floor. Eurich has taught at Aurora School in Oakland for 15 years. The school closed down so quickly that no one had time to grab enough teaching supplies for a month, let alone the rest of the school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you hear about teaching kindergarten remotely, you just have to laugh ... because how is that even humanly possible?” she said. “It's been very hard not knowing, because I've felt competent at my job for a very long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexa has 16 kids in her classroom. She manages to video chat with four of them each day, in addition to checking in regularly with teachers and parents. She’s trying to keep up with the lessons her kids were learning two weeks ago, but she has to improvise with whatever books the students have around the house. They have to be trained to talk to her through a computer screen. It can be hard to connect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know without a doubt that the best way we humans learn is through a relationship. And not being with them physically when they're at this developmental stage is very trying to the relationship,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also been trying for her. Because she is in remote meetings all day, her husband has to stay in the bedroom for hours at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I've been working from, like, six o'clock in the morning to about six o'clock at night,” she said. “And I am still in love with teaching. I love my job. But I'm not in love with this job right now. I have to learn how to do it in a way that feels wrong to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11809728\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11809728\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42445_Grant-Eshoo-L-and-Guillaume-Charter_credit-Guillaume-Chartier-2-qut-800x637.jpg\" alt=\"Grant Eshoo (L) and Guillaume Chartier have been baking lemon meringue pie and watching “Star Trek: The Next Generation” after they finish the day’s work at their improvised desks in the living room.\" width=\"800\" height=\"637\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42445_Grant-Eshoo-L-and-Guillaume-Charter_credit-Guillaume-Chartier-2-qut-800x637.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42445_Grant-Eshoo-L-and-Guillaume-Charter_credit-Guillaume-Chartier-2-qut-160x127.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42445_Grant-Eshoo-L-and-Guillaume-Charter_credit-Guillaume-Chartier-2-qut.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grant Eshoo (L) and Guillaume Chartier have been baking lemon meringue pie and watching 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' after they finish the day’s work at their improvised desks in the living room. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Guillaume Charter)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Staying Sane Inside Four Walls\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I asked my neighbors what they are doing to stay sane amid deeply uncertain circumstances. My neighbor Guillaume Chartier and his husband Grant Eshoo have been baking lemon meringue pie and watching “Star Trek: The Next Generation” after they have finished the day’s work at their improvised desks in the living room. (Guillaume is an animator, and Grant works for Alameda County).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They chose to re-watch Star Trek for its nostalgia, but are finding that it holds surprising relevance to our present moment on Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was an episode where they were facing a lethal epidemic and they had to take measures to contain it,” said Guillaume. Of course, they succeeded — thanks to Dr. Beverly Crusher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It displays a very earnest, optimistic outlook on humankind. And we're just the kind of nerds that we enjoy watching it together,” he added with a laugh. “It's all imaginary settings, but it touches on very current real human conditions and phenomena.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My second-floor neighbor Judith Rosenberg is in her mid-70s. She reckons she now spends 90% of her time indoors, except for a brisk daily walk or to pick up groceries. She escapes into serial mysteries and spy novels by authors like John le Carré and Charles Cumming. She also emails with her friends, which alleviates some of the “overriding sadness” she has started to feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have felt depression in my life. I’ve felt all sorts of emotions, but I don't get sad very much. This is a deep sadness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her other great comfort is music. Judy has a gleaming concert piano in her apartment. Her specialty is musical improvisation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel a certain life force when I’m playing,” she told me. “When I sit down to play, there's something about that experience that makes me feel more alive in a way. And it is a great gift.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ernesto Victoria\"]”It is so good to see a face and to talk.

He isn’t much of a worrier, but he did get concerned a few weeks ago when he developed a cough. His doctor assessed his symptoms and ruled out the coronavirus. Still, the cough has been hard to shake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get a little scared from time to time, I have to be honest with you,” he said. “The other day, the symptoms were really bothering me. And I just got really emotional.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pulled out his computer and started writing memories of his childhood in Mexico and of growing up with his seven siblings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe there was this thought, you know, of, 'If I die, I want my daughters to see this,’ ” he laughed. “I was just feeling sentimental and emotional.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11809727\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11809727\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42444_Ernesto-Victoria_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut-800x543.jpg\" alt=\"Ernesto Victoria started started writing down memories of his childhood in Mexico and of growing up with his seven siblings.\" width=\"800\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42444_Ernesto-Victoria_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut-800x543.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42444_Ernesto-Victoria_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut-160x109.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42444_Ernesto-Victoria_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut-1020x692.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42444_Ernesto-Victoria_credit-Julia-Scott2-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ernesto Victoria started started writing down memories of his childhood in Mexico and of growing up with his seven siblings. \u003ccite>(Julia Scott/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ernesto loves swimming, biking and hiking.

It's the joy of talking with somebody after being sequestered for so long,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of nice little things have happened in my building over the past two weeks. I was happy when Ernesto accepted my offer to shop for him sometime soon. Someone on the third floor left a message on the bulletin board offering to help anyone who needs it.

The news will get scarier. But I’ve met more neighbors in the last week than I’ve gotten to know in the past five years.

I live in a tall condo building in Oakland, with a towering view of Piedmont and the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s the kind of building where you can nod to a neighbor for years, without thinking about the interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No more. Because right now, almost all of us are home together. Thinking about, or trying not to think about, the virus. Our lives intersect in new ways. Our interactions will follow suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COVID-19 has transformed my world. My one-bedroom is now my office, tiny gym and portal to the friends I miss hugging and to my parents, who are holed up in the North Bay and haven’t set foot outside since shelter-in-place orders took effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent days, I’ve struggled with my emotions and video chatted with my therapist. I’ve had good days when I am overwhelmed with gladness to be part of a team at KQED whose coverage of this pandemic, deemed an “essential service,” has become more essential than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not the only one in my building who’s struggling to find our way in a new landscape with no view of the horizon. The coronavirus is an unspoken part of every interaction. And the fear is there, too. We fear getting each other sick, and we fear what might happen to us if we were to fall ill. My 119-unit building has about 180 residents. For the next few weeks or months, we’ll almost all be living and working here in our little units, separated by a concrete wall and under one roof. I started wondering: How are we all coping so far?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gina and Jessica take care of their neighbors.

I feel really excited to be part of this building to see what happens here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica is a freelance theater director, and she told me that her prospects have become extremely uncertain, very quickly. All of her upcoming theater productions have been canceled, and the same is true industry-wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all I've really practiced as a trade, as a craft, my entire life,” she told me. “I'm not going to lie — the other night, I sort of threw myself into a little heap.

Even better to watch it with a neighbor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dina agreed. “This is one of the few things we're still able to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On the Front Lines\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Katie Stephenson, my neighbor on the second floor, cannot shelter in place because she is a second-year pediatrics resident at Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center. I barely see her as she darts in and out to shower, sleep and drink some coffee before heading back out to the hospital for another 12-hour shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke to her on an evening she had just tested negative for COVID-19. She had a post-allergy season cough so her doctor sent her to have a test. But she assumes that it’s only a matter of time before she does get the coronavirus, so she’s careful to limit her contacts within the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mission is just to keep my germs confined to my little space and not let them get out,” she said. “But I also think that if I'm one of the people who gets COVID-19, that I would do fine — most people my age, if we’re healthy, we do fine. I think a lot of people in my residency program, myself included, are very likely to get it and are very likely to do fine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie has been on the pediatrics ward for the past three weeks. She sees children who have been admitted because their parents are afraid they might have COVID-19. All medical staff must wear personal protective equipment — essentially hazmat suits — and masks around the children, which is profoundly unsettling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are nurses wearing the suits, and there's multiple doctors coming in wearing the suits. It’s scary,” she said. She tries to defuse the fear by making her young patients smile. “I have some stickers that my mom sent for St. Patrick's Day. They're all green. And so I have been bringing in stickers and putting them on my suit. Or I’ll draw like a smiley face, to be a big yellow smiley-face person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie’s supervisor has told her group that they’re running a marathon, and so far they’ve only run half a mile. They need to remember to pace themselves. Luckily, Katie is an actual marathon runner — she’s done three of them — so she knows when to push herself. Her freezer is stuffed with homemade dinners prepared by her mother — a source of comfort at the end of another long day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Somehow, she’s had to find a way to teach her combined classroom of kindergarten and first grade students from her apartment on the fourth floor. Eurich has taught at Aurora School in Oakland for 15 years. The school closed down so quickly that no one had time to grab enough teaching supplies for a month, let alone the rest of the school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you hear about teaching kindergarten remotely, you just have to laugh ... because how is that even humanly possible?” she said. “It's been very hard not knowing, because I've felt competent at my job for a very long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexa has 16 kids in her classroom. She manages to video chat with four of them each day, in addition to checking in regularly with teachers and parents. She’s trying to keep up with the lessons her kids were learning two weeks ago, but she has to improvise with whatever books the students have around the house. They have to be trained to talk to her through a computer screen. It can be hard to connect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know without a doubt that the best way we humans learn is through a relationship. And not being with them physically when they're at this developmental stage is very trying to the relationship,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also been trying for her. Because she is in remote meetings all day, her husband has to stay in the bedroom for hours at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I've been working from, like, six o'clock in the morning to about six o'clock at night,” she said. “And I am still in love with teaching.

(Guillaume is an animator, and Grant works for Alameda County).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They chose to re-watch Star Trek for its nostalgia, but are finding that it holds surprising relevance to our present moment on Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was an episode where they were facing a lethal epidemic and they had to take measures to contain it,” said Guillaume. Of course, they succeeded — thanks to Dr. Beverly Crusher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It displays a very earnest, optimistic outlook on humankind. And we're just the kind of nerds that we enjoy watching it together,” he added with a laugh. “It's all imaginary settings, but it touches on very current real human conditions and phenomena.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My second-floor neighbor Judith Rosenberg is in her mid-70s. She reckons she now spends 90% of her time indoors, except for a brisk daily walk or to pick up groceries. She escapes into serial mysteries and spy novels by authors like John le Carré and Charles Cumming. She also emails with her friends, which alleviates some of the “overriding sadness” she has started to feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have felt depression in my life. I’ve felt all sorts of emotions, but I don't get sad very much. This is a deep sadness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her other great comfort is music. Judy has a gleaming concert piano in her apartment. Her specialty is musical improvisation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel a certain life force when I’m playing,” she told me. “When I sit down to play, there's something about that experience that makes me feel more alive in a way.

Gee issued an \u003ca href=\"https://files.constantcontact.com/baccf499301/cd171d0c-09c7-4050-a8b0-4b640ca093c8.pdf\">order\u003c/a> Saturday evening that the Trump administration should “make every effort to promptly and safely release” migrant children from government custody. Gee said by April 6, federal officials must report to the court on their efforts to release children and reunify families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order came after a request from attorneys who, for more than 20 years, have represented children in immigration custody under a consent decree known as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aila.org/infonet/flores-v-reno-settlement-agreement\">Flores Settlement Agreement\u003c/a>. Gee oversees compliance with the longstanding settlement, which protects the rights and the welfare of detained children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are relieved for thousands of detained children that the court has intervened to keep these children as safe as possible during this COVID-19 health crisis,” said lead plaintiffs’ attorney Peter Schey, with the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law in Los Angeles. “Judge Dolly Gee’s order that the government must promptly release all children to available sponsors may save children’s lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling covers both unaccompanied children who are in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as well as migrant children who are locked up with a parent in one of three so-called “family residential centers” operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the four children with COVID-19, all of them in an ORR shelter in New York, six staff members at three separate ORR facilities in New York also tested positive for COVID-19, as well as one staff member at a Texas facility and one ORR foster parent in Washington state, according to the refugee agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"immigration\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ORR is currently locating and notifying anyone that may have been exposed at these care provider facilities,” Lydia Holt, a spokesperson with ORR, said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, ORR has stopped placements of [unaccompanied migrant children] in the states of California, New York, and Washington. ORR is prioritizing local placements for all new referrals from [the U.S. Department of Homeland Security] to limit air travel when possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Gee noted, at least one child in ICE custody is under quarantine and awaiting results of a COVID-19 test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ORR currently has about 3,200 children in 107 shelters and other facilities around the country, a spokesperson said Monday. ICE reported 1,244 parents and children in its family detention facilities as of Monday, but would not say how many are children. In February 2020, ICE had 3,359 children in detention, according to Schey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee noted that even before the coronavirus crisis, both agencies had spotty track records for promptly releasing children to live with family or sponsors while their immigration cases proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee cited an analysis from late December that found that almost 12% of children in ORR’s care had been in custody for six months to a year. And she pointed to a report from legal advocates that, as of last week, in the ICE family facility in Dilley, Texas, “at least 22 minors have been detained more than 160 days, 10 have been detained for over 200 days, seven have been detained for more than 220 days, and one has been detained for 229 days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee had ruled previously that children should generally be released from jail-like settings not licensed for child care, including ICE family detention facilities, within 20 days. The Flores settlement requires children to be released “without unnecessary delay” to a parent or guardian, another relative or an approved sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"U.S. District Court Judge Dolly M. Gee\"]‘Because COVID-19 poses unprecedented threats to the safety of [migrant children in custody] and all who come in contact with them … the Court finds that any unexplained delay in releasing a child in ORR and ICE custody violates [the Flores settlement].’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her order Saturday night, Gee wrote: “Because COVID-19 poses unprecedented threats to the safety of [migrant children in custody] and all who come in contact with them … the Court finds that any unexplained delay in releasing a child in ORR and ICE custody violates [the Flores settlement]. …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge’s order found that “ORR apparently still fails to address recommendations related to social distancing, personal hygiene, or personal protective equipment …” but said the refugee agency was taking steps to comply with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, she wrote, ICE “appears deficient … .” She added, “Nor does the ICE Guidance recognize the potential psychological harm of quarantining or isolating children for the duration of this pandemic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee ordered officials at both ORR and ICE to submit to facility inspections, including videotaping of living conditions, and to report by April 9 on how full their facilities are, and whether they’re complying with public health guidance from the CDC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gee oversees compliance with the longstanding settlement, which protects the rights and the welfare of detained children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are relieved for thousands of detained children that the court has intervened to keep these children as safe as possible during this COVID-19 health crisis,” said lead plaintiffs’ attorney Peter Schey, with the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law in Los Angeles. “Judge Dolly Gee’s order that the government must promptly release all children to available sponsors may save children’s lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

ORR is prioritizing local placements for all new referrals from [the U.S. Department of Homeland Security] to limit air travel when possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Gee noted, at least one child in ICE custody is under quarantine and awaiting results of a COVID-19 test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ORR currently has about 3,200 children in 107 shelters and other facilities around the country, a spokesperson said Monday. ICE reported 1,244 parents and children in its family detention facilities as of Monday, but would not say how many are children. In February 2020, ICE had 3,359 children in detention, according to Schey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee noted that even before the coronavirus crisis, both agencies had spotty track records for promptly releasing children to live with family or sponsors while their immigration cases proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee cited an analysis from late December that found that almost 12% of children in ORR’s care had been in custody for six months to a year. And she pointed to a report from legal advocates that, as of last week, in the ICE family facility in Dilley, Texas, “at least 22 minors have been detained more than 160 days, 10 have been detained for over 200 days, seven have been detained for more than 220 days, and one has been detained for 229 days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee had ruled previously that children should generally be released from jail-like settings not licensed for child care, including ICE family detention facilities, within 20 days. The Flores settlement requires children to be released “without unnecessary delay” to a parent or guardian, another relative or an approved sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
