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.",

Gavin Newsom directed all residents to stay at home and leave only for essential activities in an aggressive bid to slow the spread of COVID-19. The statewide order does not currently have an end date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just days before the statewide order was issued, the same six Bay Area counties and the city of Berkeley were already leading the charge with regional shelter-in-place directives that rolled out March 16. They've also taken the lead in defining and clarifying what makes effective social distancing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/order-health-officer-050420.aspx\">latest order\u003c/a>, which takes effect May 4 in the six counties, acknowledges that progress has been made in slowing the spread of coronavirus and therefore eases some restrictions on \"a limited set of additional activities and ... a limited set of additional businesses associated with the lower risk of COVID-19 transmission.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Namely, businesses that are primarily conducted outdoors will be allowed to reopen and outdoor activities that don't involve shared equipment or physical contact can resume. The order also allows summer camps to operate, under certain conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates#news_11816079\">May 4, Newsom\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates#news_11816079\"> announced\u003c/a> that much of California's retail sector could resume business starting May 8, but with major modifications. The latest state order will allow for the reopening of scores of nonessential businesses — including clothing stores, bookstores, florists, as well as related manufacturing and supply chains — that are able to offer curbside pickup service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a very positive sign,\" Newsom said, who noted that the decision was based on encouraging statewide data trends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upcoming order also gives individual counties greater leeway to open more services if they can demonstrate the capacity to do so safely, Newsom said. But counties can also choose to maintain current restrictions, as some in the Bay Area are likely to do. Residents should abide by whichever order is more strict, whether it be state or local.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a quick guide to what you need to know about sheltering at home:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What is considered an essential activity?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can leave your residence to do the following things:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Buy food, groceries or supplies\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Obtain medical care\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Work at a business that’s deemed essential\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Maintain an essential governmental function or essential infrastructure\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Care for a family member or pet in another household who has no other source of care\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>It's also OK to engage in outdoor activities, such as walking your dog or going for a run, as long as you stay at least 6 feet away from other people.

Gavin Newsom directed all residents to stay at home and leave only for essential activities in an aggressive bid to slow the spread of COVID-19. The statewide order does not currently have an end date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just days before the statewide order was issued, the same six Bay Area counties and the city of Berkeley were already leading the charge with regional shelter-in-place directives that rolled out March 16. They've also taken the lead in defining and clarifying what makes effective social distancing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/order-health-officer-050420.aspx\">latest order\u003c/a>, which takes effect May 4 in the six counties, acknowledges that progress has been made in slowing the spread of coronavirus and therefore eases some restrictions on \"a limited set of additional activities and ... a limited set of additional businesses associated with the lower risk of COVID-19 transmission.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Namely, businesses that are primarily conducted outdoors will be allowed to reopen and outdoor activities that don't involve shared equipment or physical contact can resume. The order also allows summer camps to operate, under certain conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates#news_11816079\">May 4, Newsom\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates#news_11816079\"> announced\u003c/a> that much of California's retail sector could resume business starting May 8, but with major modifications. The latest state order will allow for the reopening of scores of nonessential businesses — including clothing stores, bookstores, florists, as well as related manufacturing and supply chains — that are able to offer curbside pickup service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a very positive sign,\" Newsom said, who noted that the decision was based on encouraging statewide data trends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upcoming order also gives individual counties greater leeway to open more services if they can demonstrate the capacity to do so safely, Newsom said. But counties can also choose to maintain current restrictions, as some in the Bay Area are likely to do. Residents should abide by whichever order is more strict, whether it be state or local.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a quick guide to what you need to know about sheltering at home:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What is considered an essential activity?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can leave your residence to do the following things:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Buy food, groceries or supplies\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Obtain medical care\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Work at a business that’s deemed essential\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Maintain an essential governmental function or essential infrastructure\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Care for a family member or pet in another household who has no other source of care\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>It's also OK to engage in outdoor activities, such as walking your dog or going for a run, as long as you stay at least 6 feet away from other people.

However, a recent flood of visitors at popular beaches and parks has prompted officials to shut down several recreation areas. Health officials are now advising people to stay local in their outdoor activities, while many state parks have closed their parking lots to discourage people from crowding the parks.

"content": "\u003cp>Just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco is Marin County, where Dr. Matt Willis is in charge of public health. So, of course, he paid attention when he heard reports of a new virus outbreak in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the first week of 2020 where [there were] somewhat alarming reports of rapid increases in cases,” Willis remembers. “It was clear that this virus had the characteristics for a global spread.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon, the U.S. had its first case, and the new virus — the novel coronavirus — appeared to hit older adults hardest. About a third of the people living in Marin County are over 60. So Willis went on alert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first step I took was just moving my office down to where my communicable disease team works, kind of knowing that we were gonna be working together pretty hard for weeks or months on this,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the last day of January, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar went on national television and declared a public health emergency: “Beginning at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, the United States government will implement temporary measures to detect and contain the coronavirus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government evacuated a couple of plane loads of Americans from a cruise ship in Japan and put them in quarantine. Over a hundred ended up at Travis Air Force Base, about an hour northeast of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. airports began screening passengers. Travel — especially to China — slowed way down. The U.S. State Department issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for all of China, and American carriers – like United and Delta — began to suspend operations there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many people had already flown to California from China before word of the virus was widespread. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told Willis and other public health officials to use airline passenger lists to start tracking people returning to their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sandy Adler Killen, Bay Area hospital nurse\"]\"With the coronavirus, they really just reviewed a few things in a huddle for a few minutes and they asked us to watch a video.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that was initially, anyone who had returned from China we needed to monitor for at least two weeks for the development of symptoms,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, the only confirmed cases of what experts began to call COVID-19 could be traced back either to recent travel or direct contact with an infected person. The CDC’s testing guidelines reflected that: If you didn’t meet those two criteria, you weren’t going to be tested, even if you were showing symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people who met the guidelines, Willis’ staff could do a test, send it to CDC headquarters in Atlanta and wait for results. But there weren’t enough tests even to cover the CDC’s directive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we were applying more stringent criteria here in Marin County to really limit the tests for those who needed it most,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Willis suspected more infections were on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, this is what it looks like when an epidemic spreads,” he said. “It is first brought in from identifiable sources on the outside. And then once it establishes a foothold, it starts becoming exchanged between people within the community. And so... we were waiting to see when that would occur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, it did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Feb. 26, a hospital in Sacramento announced it was treating a woman sick with the virus who hadn’t traveled anywhere or been exposed to anyone infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(This) was a sign to us, that we're starting to see community transmission in our region,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a turning point: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/26/health/coronavirus-cdc-usa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It seemed to be the first case of community transmission in the country.\u003c/a> It had taken two hospitals more than a week to confirm her illness, partly because she didn't meet the guidelines to be tested. Finally, a few days later, the CDC expanded its criteria for testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on March 4, a man in California died of complications from COVID-19. He had been on a cruise to Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Health Care Workers on the Front Lines\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The next morning, Sandy Adler Killen went to work. She’s a nurse at a Bay Area hospital. Her first patient that morning: a 92-year-old man with a fever, struggling to breathe — a potential case of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, I was really surprised,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Killen was surprised because she didn’t feel prepared to care for a potential coronavirus patient. She says she and her colleagues that morning hadn’t had any training yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the coronavirus, they really just reviewed a few things in a huddle for a few minutes and they asked us to watch a video,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The emergency room buzzed with confusion. The staff decided to test the elderly man. A doctor handed Killen a few test tubes and handful of paperwork to fill out. No one knew how to get the samples to the county lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus, covid-19\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ended up not knowing exactly how to handle that,” she remembered. “Were we supposed to call the courier? How were these samples supposed to be handled?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Killen continued to work, not knowing for several days whether she had been exposed to the virus. A few days later she found out: luckily, no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with more suspected cases showing up in the region, workers in some hospitals were sent home to self-quarantine. Testing was too slow to figure out who was actually infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Lag in Getting Rapid Testing in the U.S.\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dr. Seema Yasmin is a public health specialist and epidemiologist at Stanford University, a so-called \"disease detective.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The testing has been such a debacle and it feels like such an unnecessary debacle,” Yasmin said. “I've investigated outbreaks of flesh-eating bacteria, of botulinum toxin, of whooping cough, measles, mumps, all of that regular stuff as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s been watching coronavirus management at the national level. It was really unfortunate, Yasmin says, that in early February just as the outbreak had started to spread beyond China, the CDC released faulty test kits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, you think, OK, well, you're making it in a rush. These things happen. That's fine, but we need to quickly iterate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the agency lagged in sending improved tests out to local public health departments. And scientists outside the government had a lot of trouble getting authorization to develop their own tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the time the CDC was sending out its testing kits to some labs across the states, the World Health Organization had sent out tests to dozens of countries who, by that point, had done hundreds and thousands of tests,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Stephen Redd from the CDC publicly defended the U.S. approach saying, “There’s a process of developing a new test when there’s a new disease. We followed that procedure. There was not a need to follow the WHO test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some countries developed their own tests. By mid-March, South Korea had done more than 200,000 of them, according to their health officials. By the CDC’s count, only about 11,000 tests had been done here by that same time. But some question that number, because \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-testing-numbers/607714/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tracking has been problematic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, testified in early March that funding is part of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like CDC, the state and local and territory health departments are underfunded,” he said. “Wouldn't it be nice if we had a data system that every health department in this country right now could see in real time, so that we could predict what’s going on, and where to go and where to put assets? We don't have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yasmin says communication and transparency have been problems from the top down. The White House resisted releasing several advisories from the State Department and CDC, like warning Americans against getting on cruise ships. And in early March, an online tracker of testing numbers unexpectedly vanished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So think about all those concerns we had about Chinese officials withholding data, while magically data disappeared from the CDC website,” Yasmin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people who will get mildly ill from this virus, or who have good health care, the lack of tests and information might all add up to just a hassle. But each misstep puts vulnerable people at higher risk, Yasmin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 28 million Americans are uninsured and another 44 million are underinsured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a story of health inequity, unequal access to health care and about rich people having the means, the resources, the time, the networks to protect themselves while the homeless, the incarcerated, people living on the margins of society,” she said. “Those are the people I worry about the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Still Not Enough Tests\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A virus moving around uncontrolled in the community is dangerous for everyone. And with the lack of widespread rapid testing, there was no way to know how many people were infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health officials realized they couldn’t stop the spread of the virus. So, some local governments switched strategies. They moved from trying to contain it to trying to slow it down. Several counties, like Sacramento, which seemed to have had the nation’s first confirmed case of community transmission, called off the automatic quarantines for possible exposure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County’s top public health official, Dr. Peter Beilenson, held a press conference on March 10, saying, “There is no point in quarantining for 14 days a person who's feeling healthy. If they feel as if they feel sick, then they should stay home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Theoretically, doing this should help ease the burden on the health care system. If doctors and nurses can keep going to work despite possible exposure, then those who are sick can get the care they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This policy shift was also supposed to make it easier to get tested. But there still weren’t enough kits, as Beilenson pointed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It takes a long time because we didn't get the tests from the CDC until a couple of weeks ago. We only have 20 tests that we can do in a given day,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Coronavirus and The Grand Princess Cruise Ship\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Marvin and Ellen Schwartz would love one of those precious tests. The senior couple were on the cruise ship that was held off the coast of San Francisco recently. Marvin realized his holiday was in trouble, “I guess, about the early part of the second week. We started hearing rumors that there were some concerns,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. officials flew tests out to the ship as it waited to dock. But they only tested 45 people out of several thousand. Many of the passengers are now quarantined at a simple hotel on Travis Air Force Base. On his first day there, Marvin looked out the window as more cruise ship passengers arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I see someone coming off the bus ... bringing someone in a wheelchair,” he said. “You know, this kind of cruise attracts older people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Marvin nor Ellen are showing symptoms.

So, of course, he paid attention when he heard reports of a new virus outbreak in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the first week of 2020 where [there were] somewhat alarming reports of rapid increases in cases,” Willis remembers. “It was clear that this virus had the characteristics for a global spread.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon, the U.S. had its first case, and the new virus — the novel coronavirus — appeared to hit older adults hardest. About a third of the people living in Marin County are over 60. So Willis went on alert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first step I took was just moving my office down to where my communicable disease team works, kind of knowing that we were gonna be working together pretty hard for weeks or months on this,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the last day of January, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar went on national television and declared a public health emergency: “Beginning at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, the United States government will implement temporary measures to detect and contain the coronavirus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government evacuated a couple of plane loads of Americans from a cruise ship in Japan and put them in quarantine. Over a hundred ended up at Travis Air Force Base, about an hour northeast of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. airports began screening passengers. Travel — especially to China — slowed way down. The U.S. State Department issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for all of China, and American carriers – like United and Delta — began to suspend operations there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many people had already flown to California from China before word of the virus was widespread. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told Willis and other public health officials to use airline passenger lists to start tracking people returning to their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The CDC’s testing guidelines reflected that: If you didn’t meet those two criteria, you weren’t going to be tested, even if you were showing symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people who met the guidelines, Willis’ staff could do a test, send it to CDC headquarters in Atlanta and wait for results. But there weren’t enough tests even to cover the CDC’s directive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we were applying more stringent criteria here in Marin County to really limit the tests for those who needed it most,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Willis suspected more infections were on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, this is what it looks like when an epidemic spreads,” he said. “It is first brought in from identifiable sources on the outside. And then once it establishes a foothold, it starts becoming exchanged between people within the community. And so... we were waiting to see when that would occur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, it did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Feb. 26, a hospital in Sacramento announced it was treating a woman sick with the virus who hadn’t traveled anywhere or been exposed to anyone infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(This) was a sign to us, that we're starting to see community transmission in our region,” Willis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a turning point: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/26/health/coronavirus-cdc-usa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It seemed to be the first case of community transmission in the country.\u003c/a> It had taken two hospitals more than a week to confirm her illness, partly because she didn't meet the guidelines to be tested. Finally, a few days later, the CDC expanded its criteria for testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on March 4, a man in California died of complications from COVID-19. He had been on a cruise to Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Health Care Workers on the Front Lines\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The next morning, Sandy Adler Killen went to work. She’s a nurse at a Bay Area hospital. Her first patient that morning: a 92-year-old man with a fever, struggling to breathe — a potential case of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, I was really surprised,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Killen was surprised because she didn’t feel prepared to care for a potential coronavirus patient. She says she and her colleagues that morning hadn’t had any training yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the coronavirus, they really just reviewed a few things in a huddle for a few minutes and they asked us to watch a video,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The emergency room buzzed with confusion. The staff decided to test the elderly man. A doctor handed Killen a few test tubes and handful of paperwork to fill out. No one knew how to get the samples to the county lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How were these samples supposed to be handled?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Killen continued to work, not knowing for several days whether she had been exposed to the virus. A few days later she found out: luckily, no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with more suspected cases showing up in the region, workers in some hospitals were sent home to self-quarantine. Testing was too slow to figure out who was actually infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Lag in Getting Rapid Testing in the U.S.\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dr. Seema Yasmin is a public health specialist and epidemiologist at Stanford University, a so-called \"disease detective.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The testing has been such a debacle and it feels like such an unnecessary debacle,” Yasmin said. “I've investigated outbreaks of flesh-eating bacteria, of botulinum toxin, of whooping cough, measles, mumps, all of that regular stuff as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s been watching coronavirus management at the national level. It was really unfortunate, Yasmin says, that in early February just as the outbreak had started to spread beyond China, the CDC released faulty test kits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, you think, OK, well, you're making it in a rush. These things happen. That's fine, but we need to quickly iterate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the agency lagged in sending improved tests out to local public health departments. And scientists outside the government had a lot of trouble getting authorization to develop their own tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the time the CDC was sending out its testing kits to some labs across the states, the World Health Organization had sent out tests to dozens of countries who, by that point, had done hundreds and thousands of tests,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Stephen Redd from the CDC publicly defended the U.S. approach saying, “There’s a process of developing a new test when there’s a new disease. We followed that procedure. There was not a need to follow the WHO test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some countries developed their own tests. By mid-March, South Korea had done more than 200,000 of them, according to their health officials. By the CDC’s count, only about 11,000 tests had been done here by that same time. But some question that number, because \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-testing-numbers/607714/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tracking has been problematic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, testified in early March that funding is part of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like CDC, the state and local and territory health departments are underfunded,” he said. “Wouldn't it be nice if we had a data system that every health department in this country right now could see in real time, so that we could predict what’s going on, and where to go and where to put assets? We don't have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yasmin says communication and transparency have been problems from the top down. The White House resisted releasing several advisories from the State Department and CDC, like warning Americans against getting on cruise ships. And in early March, an online tracker of testing numbers unexpectedly vanished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So think about all those concerns we had about Chinese officials withholding data, while magically data disappeared from the CDC website,” Yasmin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people who will get mildly ill from this virus, or who have good health care, the lack of tests and information might all add up to just a hassle. But each misstep puts vulnerable people at higher risk, Yasmin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 28 million Americans are uninsured and another 44 million are underinsured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a story of health inequity, unequal access to health care and about rich people having the means, the resources, the time, the networks to protect themselves while the homeless, the incarcerated, people living on the margins of society,” she said. “Those are the people I worry about the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Still Not Enough Tests\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A virus moving around uncontrolled in the community is dangerous for everyone. And with the lack of widespread rapid testing, there was no way to know how many people were infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health officials realized they couldn’t stop the spread of the virus. So, some local governments switched strategies. They moved from trying to contain it to trying to slow it down. Several counties, like Sacramento, which seemed to have had the nation’s first confirmed case of community transmission, called off the automatic quarantines for possible exposure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County’s top public health official, Dr. Peter Beilenson, held a press conference on March 10, saying, “There is no point in quarantining for 14 days a person who's feeling healthy. If they feel as if they feel sick, then they should stay home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Theoretically, doing this should help ease the burden on the health care system. If doctors and nurses can keep going to work despite possible exposure, then those who are sick can get the care they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This policy shift was also supposed to make it easier to get tested. But there still weren’t enough kits, as Beilenson pointed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It takes a long time because we didn't get the tests from the CDC until a couple of weeks ago. We only have 20 tests that we can do in a given day,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Coronavirus and The Grand Princess Cruise Ship\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Marvin and Ellen Schwartz would love one of those precious tests. The senior couple were on the cruise ship that was held off the coast of San Francisco recently. Marvin realized his holiday was in trouble, “I guess, about the early part of the second week. We started hearing rumors that there were some concerns,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. officials flew tests out to the ship as it waited to dock. But they only tested 45 people out of several thousand. Many of the passengers are now quarantined at a simple hotel on Travis Air Force Base. On his first day there, Marvin looked out the window as more cruise ship passengers arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I see someone coming off the bus ... bringing someone in a wheelchair,” he said. “You know, this kind of cruise attracts older people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Marvin nor Ellen are showing symptoms. But still, they have no idea if they have caught the coronavirus. Ellen really wants to be tested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, even the hazmat people who took our temperatures do not know whether we will have the option of being tested,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say tests are coming, but it’s not clear when. For now, Ellen has a half-read novel, the TV and Marvin to keep her entertained until the government tells her she can go home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We don't want a lot of people getting infected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel ban does not apply to American citizens, legal permanent residents, their immediate families and certain others. These people will be channeled through one of 13 airports equipped to do special screening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration also said the number of Americans who have died of the novel coronavirus now stands at 50, with more than 2,200 cases in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more coronavirus coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also said he was tested for the coronavirus Friday night and that the results would be available in a \"day or two.\" He said his temperature had been taken prior to entering the press room and when asked, he said it was \"totally normal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Defense also halted domestic travel for all service members, civilian employees and their families. The Pentagon announced the travel restrictions in a memorandum \u003ca href=\"https://media.defense.gov/2020/Mar/13/2002264686/-1/-1/1/STOP-MOVEMENT-FOR-ALL-DOMESTIC-TRAVEL-FOR-DOD-COMPONENTS-IN-RESPONSE-TO-CORONAVIRUS-2019.PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released Friday night\u003c/a>, explaining that — with few exceptions — the ban applies to all personnel assigned to its facilities in states and territories throughout the U.S., beginning Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These restrictions are necessary to preserve force readiness, limit the continuing spread of the virus, and preserve the health and welfare of Service members, DoD civilian employees, their families, and the local communities in which we live,\" Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist said in the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order, which adds to the Pentagon's foreign travel restrictions announced \u003ca href=\"https://www.defense.gov/Explore/News/Article/Article/2109755/update-on-dod-covid-19-measures/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">earlier this month\u003c/a>, carves out exceptions for just a handful of \"compelling cases\" — including travel that's deemed necessary for medical treatment, a particular mission or humanitarian reasons. Aside from these cases, Defense Department personnel have been told to stay put until at least May 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order comes amid a flurry of actions at the federal level to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus, which the World Health Organization \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/11/814474930/coronavirus-covid-19-is-now-officially-a-pandemic-who-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">officially classified\u003c/a> as a global pandemic earlier this week.

It is in nearly every state, plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the patients who developed COVID-19, more than 40 have died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most states have been impacted, but most only have a few cases,\" Nancy Messonnier of the CDC explained in a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CDCgov/status/1238601402294861825\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recorded statement\u003c/a>. \"And it is still only a few states that have most of the cases and have sustained community spread.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement \u003ca href=\"https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/03/apples-covid-19-response/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issued Friday\u003c/a>, Apple joined the chorus of government agencies and businesses announcing sweeping changes to combat the virus' spread, saying that it plans to temporarily close all of its retail stores outside China through at least March 27.

I think a lot of people would just go to work if that was the situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, HCL Technology says it’s “proactively invoking all required measures to ensure business continuity” as the outbreak intensifies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent Google statement said that some contractors can work from home, but noted that “to serve our users and keep our products running, some work, performed by Google employees, temporary staff and vendors alike, can only be done by people physically present at offices. We’re taking all necessary and recommended precautions, including increased sanitization and social distancing, a public health best practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Tilly, a labor economist at UCLA, says white collar contracting is on the rise in a number of industries beyond just tech. It’s part of a trend he calls the “fissuring” of the workplace, where workers at the same company have increasingly different pay, benefits and privileges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These fissures undermine the U.S. safety net,” Tilly says, “which depends crucially on employment status, since contractors are considered self-employed and generally receive no benefits at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus outbreak is both highlighting and exacerbating some of the issues inherent in the fissured workplace, says Tilly. “An emergency situation like the current one worsens the impact of the inequities, and intensifies confusion and the complexities of mounting an effective response.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Google, Gwin hopes the current health crisis will prompt the company and other big tech firms to reconsider their contractor policies and allow workers like him to access the same work-from-home privileges that their own employees receive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just want to be able to spend more time with my daughter,” Gwin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
