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.",

"content": "\u003cp>A man held at the California State Prison in Los Angeles County is the first inmate in the state to test positive for COVID-19, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He was put in isolation on March 19 after telling staff he felt sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Monday, five correctional officers in three different prisons — California Institution for Men in Chino, Folsom State Prison and California State Prison, Sacramento — have also been diagnosed with the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. An employee at San Quentin State Prison reported on Friday to have tested positive for COVID-19 does not in fact have the disease, prison officials said Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott Kernan, a former secretary of CDCR, is among officials and inmate rights groups expressing concern over a potentially widespread outbreak in the state’s prisons and jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You think cruise ships are a petri dish?” Kernan said in an interview Monday. “Prisons are even more so the mass of humanity. So I’m very concerned about my colleagues and the inmates and their families in jails and prisons across the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kernan said state leaders need to look at all options to reduce the prison population to mitigate the worst impacts of an outbreak. The state’s prisons are overcrowded, operating at about 130% of capacity, with more than 123,000 people incarcerated across California. An additional 65,000 people work for the state prison system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, all Board of Parole Hearings, which generally assess prisoners who are eligible for release, have been suspended for at least a week. In-person visits and nearly all rehabilitative and educational programs have been canceled in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kernan said the lack of activities and connection is also likely to take a toll on people being held in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a tinderbox of potential infection as you go forward, especially if you are just watching what’s going on around the world,” he said. “I know Italy and Brazil had serious violence and even escapes and murders in the jails as a result of COVID-19.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDCR posted a list of precautions the department is implementing, which includes social distancing, a two-week quarantine for all new inmates and immediate isolation for anyone who has a fever, to prevent the spread of the disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Coronavirus Coverage' tag='coronavirus']But the Prison Law Office and a number of other advocacy groups are also pushing for the state to do more to protect the elderly and those with compromised immune systems in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been imploring the state through various channels to do what county jails are doing all over the state, which is reduce the density of the population by releasing people who are low risk,” said Don Specter, executive director of the Prison Law Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the Santa Clara County and Alameda County sheriffs both moved to release hundreds of people early from jail. San Francisco courts have ordered dozens of inmates released early. Contra Costa County is also looking at steps to cut down the number of people held in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, a group of 28 advocacy organizations wrote a letter to California Attorney General Xavier Becerra requesting the state’s top cop expand these localized efforts by directing all sheriffs to release people who have six months or less left on their sentences and asking local law enforcement to reduce arrests and bookings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without action, thousands will likely die with the suffering falling disproportionately on low-income families, particularly Black and Latinx families,” the letter says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed the calls from advocates in his Monday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no interest — and I want to make this crystal clear — in releasing violent criminals from our system. I won’t use a crisis as an excuse to create another crisis,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he has a task force looking at how to release people incarcerated for non-violent crimes in a “deliberative” way. He warned that the large-scale release of tens of thousands of prisoners called for by advocacy groups could cause a whole new set of problems for emergency medical providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we start to release prisoners that are not prepared with their parole plans, they may end up out on the streets and sidewalks, in a homeless shelter,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the prison system has not announced any concrete steps to release people.

But she also said she received a message from a constituent telling her that his father, an electrician, had been ordered to stay home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody knows what the hell to do and are afraid that law enforcement are going to come out and arrest them,” she said Friday. “I’m trying very hard to not be critical of the governor because it's a stressful and chaotic time, but tightening this up a little would really reduce the stress level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor’s office also was initially vague on whether cities and counties had the authority to fill in their own additional details, carving out more specific exemptions or adding more restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11808214\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/GOVORDER-CONFUSION-photo-2-copy.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11808214\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/GOVORDER-CONFUSION-photo-2-copy.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/GOVORDER-CONFUSION-photo-2-copy.jpeg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/GOVORDER-CONFUSION-photo-2-copy-160x103.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/GOVORDER-CONFUSION-photo-2-copy-800x515.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/GOVORDER-CONFUSION-photo-2-copy-1020x656.jpeg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A smattering of people enjoyed the sunshine in a San Francisco park o Friday, March 20, the day after Gov.

That Newsom decided to use such a light touch is notable, said Duvernay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just as important as the reach of the governor’s authority is how he chooses to exercise it,” he said. “The governor is asking us all to use common sense and for local officials to use their best judgment in implementing the statewide standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This cooperative exercise of authority is critical, since the demands and resources of urban centers like Los Angeles or San Francisco may differ from those in the state’s rural counties,” Duvernay continued. “No one in law enforcement wants to be arresting people for walking their dog right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>As federal and state leadership take heat for the lack of COVID-19 testing, a few initiatives have cropped up in the Bay Area with the goal of understanding just how many people have the novel coronavirus. Details of these programs vary: You may be screened for a visit online or over the phone. Other details, like whether the tests are covered by insurance, or if there's a charge at all, remain unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what we know so far. We’ll update this post with additional information on testing as we learn more.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Verily Test: Online and Then at a Secret Location\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Christopher Korp, a teacher in Pacifica, went through one of the processes. On March 17, he decided to take an online screener by Verily, the life sciences subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet, to see whether he might be at risk after spending time in the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The free testing program, which is directed by the state and supported by federal funds, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11807416/where-california-stands-with-coronavirus-testing-right-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made headlines\u003c/a> a few weeks ago when it debuted.

KQED has learned the city will open a testing facility tomorrow geared towards first responders and health care workers. They will also test members of the public who are symptomatic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Suppression through isolation after testing, or SIT, as we call it, is an approach that has proven to be most effective in countries on the leading edge of this pandemic,” Contreras said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort, which is the brainchild of the chief, was inspired by the ongoing difficulty of getting Hayward’s firefighters tested after possible exposure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 15, Contreras began sending out hundreds of emails and LinkedIn messages to city leaders and labs. He also became a “student” of the virus, observing how other countries, such as South Korea and Italy, varied in their responses to the crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In days, he secured $500,000 from the city of Hayward and a partnership with Avellino Lab USA, Inc., based in Menlo Park — a company specializing in gene therapy, molecular diagnostics and medicine for eye care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has enough test kits for up to 370 people a day, for about a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote]Contreras says his station is treating the effort as they would a natural disaster, with special strike teams that would go out on suspected coronavirus calls.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The testing is free to the public and open to anyone, regardless of city, county or immigration status. Those who wish to be tested will first need to go through a screening process before a test is administered.

KQED has learned the city will open a testing facility tomorrow geared towards first responders and health care workers. They will also test members of the public who are symptomatic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Suppression through isolation after testing, or SIT, as we call it, is an approach that has proven to be most effective in countries on the leading edge of this pandemic,” Contreras said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort, which is the brainchild of the chief, was inspired by the ongoing difficulty of getting Hayward’s firefighters tested after possible exposure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 15, Contreras began sending out hundreds of emails and LinkedIn messages to city leaders and labs. He also became a “student” of the virus, observing how other countries, such as South Korea and Italy, varied in their responses to the crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In days, he secured $500,000 from the city of Hayward and a partnership with Avellino Lab USA, Inc., based in Menlo Park — a company specializing in gene therapy, molecular diagnostics and medicine for eye care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has enough test kits for up to 370 people a day, for about a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Their goal was to help families cope as many parents and guardians lose jobs or see their hours significantly reduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Unified, the largest district in the state, delayed distribution to Wednesday to ensure that logistics were in place so family members could pick up food without being in contact with others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In interviews, parents and school officials said they considered the service a lifeline for many families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very comforting because sometimes there isn’t enough food in the house, and here we can take food, take breakfast and milk,” said Christina Resendez, as she collected food with her daughter Emily at the West Oakland Middle School, one of 12 schools in the Oakland Unified School District where “grab-and-go” meals were being served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Gabriel Chilcott, principal of Mira Vista Elementary School in Richmond\"]‘We’re talking about thousands of kids who have lost their most stable food during the day, so it’s a super big concern.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It gives us peace of mind,” added Emily, an eighth grade student at Lazear Charter Academy in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Tuesday, the school closures affected more than 6 million students in California, about half of whom are eligible for free or reduced lunches, based on their family income. In addition, nearly 200,000 are homeless and nearly 30,000 are foster students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell said continuing to provide food to students during the closure is critical for the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We already know that many students rely on [school-provided] lunches and breakfasts as part of their sustenance, so really ensuring that we had some structures in place to be able to distribute food felt like an essential part of our planning for school closures for however long we’re in this situation,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified handed out nearly 25,000 free meals to more than 4,000 families on Monday, district officials said. The meals were supplemented by around 1,400 bags of groceries from the Alameda County Food Bank. On Thursday, the district handed out around 50,000 meals to nearly 11,000 families, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many districts, like West Contra Costa and Oakland Unified, replicated the food programs they offer during summers.

Most of the students attending American Lakes are from low-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Until the state figures out what happens to schools, we think it is important to feed kids breakfast and lunch and give them a book to read,” said district Superintendent Chris Evans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other large Sacramento County districts are also providing meals, including \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"http://blogs.egusd.net/pressroom/2020/03/13/elk-grove-unified-steps-up-to-provide-important-student-nutritional-needs-using-a-drive-through-meal-service-during-school-closures/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elk Grove Unified\u003c/a>, which serves 64,000 students in southern Sacramento County; Twin Rivers Unified in Sacramento; \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.scusd.edu/e-connections-post/sac-city-unified-will-continue-provide-meals-affected-students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sacramento City Unified School District\u003c/a> and \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.sanjuan.edu/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Juan Unified\u003c/a>, in Carmichael.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
