One helpful strategy for folks feeling overwhelmed, says Executive Director Narges Zohoury Dillon, is to identify what is — and isn’t — within their control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The key is to break down the amount of time you’re looking ahead. If worrying about what might happen a month from now is giving you a sense of looming doom, try focusing instead on the next few minutes or hours.

You’re stuck with people you would have never expected — or even wanted — to get stuck with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This describes my living situation perfectly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My two roommates and I usually get along fine. When shelter-in-place started back in March 2020, one roommate’s boyfriend moved in indefinitely (and he’s still here) but we made it work. We created a more comprehensive cleaning schedule. And while we would occasionally share a meal, we generally kept to ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when the holiday season hit, one roommate wanted to socialize.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>When the Party Doesn’t Stop During COVID-19\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Spanning about four days at the end of December, there were a series of parties in our small apartment of seven to eight unmasked guests each night playing board games and drinking cocktails late into the night. My other roommate and I would stay in our respective rooms until the guests left and it felt safe to come out, but I was starting to get nervous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I confronted my roommate about the partying and asked her to stop hosting guests. Begrudgingly, she agreed to stop throwing parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the partying \u003cem>didn’t\u003c/em> stop. The very next night, I heard unfamiliar voices in our apartment. It was another party with about five people, throwing darts and drinking cocktails — all unmasked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I confronted my roommate again, but by then it was too late. A few days later, I tested positive for COVID-19. Then my roommate’s boyfriend tested positive. And then my roommate herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"tips\">\u003c/a>How to Talk to Roommates About COVID-19\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Karen Lipney, a mediator at the San Francisco-based conflict resolution center\u003ca href=\"https://communityboards.org/\"> Community Boards\u003c/a>, has been hearing stories like this from tenants and landlords since the pandemic began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of [the disagreements] are about security deposits and things, but most of them are about situations just like you’re describing,” Lipney said.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=\"news_11825738\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you find yourself in a similar situation to me, what can you do?

And in that time, Lipney believes roommates should be sitting down with each other and making ground rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What kind of ground rules would we like to establish for bringing people into the house?” Lipney suggested considering. “What is everyone’s goal?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, everyone’s goal could be to “stay safe,” but maybe the goals could be even more specific. For example, \u003cem>my\u003c/em> goal would be to keep my almost-90-year-old grandfather safe during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He lives in the Bay Area and I want to be available to take care of him.

Then you should follow up with suggestions for when a good time might be to have that discussion.\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ask open-ended questions that elicit a narrative. \u003cem>Example: Instead of saying “You look like you’re getting angry” say “How are you feeling?” or “What’s going on for you right now?” That way the person can talk about their emotions, and you can possibly build empathy.\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the Worst Happens, \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Avoid the Blame Game \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why is it important to avoid blame?

As of Friday, more than 8,600 people in prisons had been diagnosed with COVID-19, with nearly a thousand detected in the last 14 days, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In addition, nearly 2,000 prison employees had tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported\u003c/a> close to 4,200 detainees and 45 employees have been confirmed with COVID-19 at detention centers nationwide.

Jennings. GEO did not return a request for confirmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacLean said Chhabria’s most recent order was, while very important, a “stopgap measure” because social distancing remains impossible for detainees sleeping in dorms with dozens others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are still people in the facility who are in a highly risky condition and who should be released,” MacLean said. “People are terrified. There are individuals who have called crying, saying, ‘I am afraid that the only way out of Mesa Verde is going to be in a body bag.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacLean said the facility held nearly 300 people back in April, when detainees sued ICE and GEO Group.

As of Friday, more than 8,600 people in prisons had been diagnosed with COVID-19, with nearly a thousand detected in the last 14 days, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In addition, nearly 2,000 prison employees had tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported\u003c/a> close to 4,200 detainees and 45 employees have been confirmed with COVID-19 at detention centers nationwide. Several more workers at privately run detention facilities may also have had the coronavirus, but the agency does not include them in their tally of employees with positive COVID-19 cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Mesa Verde, 14 workers at the for-profit GEO Group have tested positive, said Emi MacLean, a plaintiff attorney with the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office in the case being considered by Chhabria, Zepeda Rivas v. Jennings. GEO did not return a request for confirmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacLean said Chhabria’s most recent order was, while very important, a “stopgap measure” because social distancing remains impossible for detainees sleeping in dorms with dozens others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are still people in the facility who are in a highly risky condition and who should be released,” MacLean said. “People are terrified. There are individuals who have called crying, saying, ‘I am afraid that the only way out of Mesa Verde is going to be in a body bag.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacLean said the facility held nearly 300 people back in April, when detainees sued ICE and GEO Group. Since then, Chhabria has ordered the release of about 130 individuals, while ICE let out dozens more at high risk of severe illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Pruebas rechazadas. Retrasos cada vez mayores para los resultados, y pruebas perdidas. Confusión acerca de qué seguro las cubrirá y qué seguro no las cubrirá.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Otros han tenido una experiencia prácticamente sin problemas—llegada y salida de un centro de pruebas en menos de 30 minutos y los resultados en un día o dos. Algunos incluso han optado por pagar más para una “prueba rápida” y obtuvieron resultados en una hora.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En una encuesta de CalMatters, 170 encuestados, desde los condados de Humboldt hasta San Diego, compartieron una gran cantidad de experiencias de pruebas de éxito o fracaso donde expresaban desde “¡es super fácil!” hasta “es un circo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La prueba del coronavirus en California ha sido un desafío desde el primer día. Desde el comienzo de la pandemia, la escasez de suministros permitió realizar pruebas muy limitadas y el estado estableció un objetivo modesto de 8,000 pruebas a fines de marzo. Desde entonces, las pruebas se expandieron, con un total mayor a 100,000 por día en el estado. Sin embargo, la demanda está presionando a la cadena de suministros, forzando al estado a volver a pensar en su estrategia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Se espera que el Gob. Gavin Newsom anuncie un nuevo plan de pruebas el lunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No hay suficientes máquinas ni equipamiento para satisfacer la actual necesidad nacional y mundial para las pruebas de diagnóstico,” dijo el Dr. David Witt, líder nacional de enfermedades infecciosas de Kaiser Permanente. “Dado el actual aumento de casos en curso, es altamente probable que las pruebas continúen siendo un desafío, el cual probablemente empeorará antes de mejorar”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mientras los suministros varían y los casos aumentan en las distintas comunidades, las prioridades de prueba pueden cambiar, dijo Witt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entre los encuestados en la encuesta de CalMatters, algunos informaron problemas técnicos que los forzaron a volver a un sitio en dos o más oportunidades antes de ser realmente testeados. Dos compañeros de cuarto de Fresno que pidieron al mismo tiempo realizarse una prueba en el mismo lugar obtuvieron citas con casi una semana de diferencia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson Blaker de Los Ángeles estuvo sentado en su automóvil con las ventanillas levantadas durante una hora con 90 grados de calor, algo que le hubiera gustado haber sabido porque no tiene aire acondicionado. Los que no tienen automóvil dijeron que las pruebas llegando a pie pueden ser más difíciles de conseguir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miles Campbell de Woodland se enteró el 25 de junio que un compañero en el almacén del\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>supermercado en el que trabaja ha dado positivo para coronavirus. Él decidió hacerse la prueba porque vive con sus padres y no quiere exponerlos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aunque había escuchado que la prueba era gratuita, llamó a su seguro para cerciorarse de que no lo sorprendería una factura. Dijo que el representante le informó que únicamente le cubrirían el costo si la prueba fuera ordenada por su médico de cabecera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='large' align='right' citation='Miles Campbell de Woodland']'Definitivamente no creo que haya valido la pena. Voy a ir mañana a trabajar, mis 14 días han terminado, y todavía no tengo los resultados.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campbell, 23, no tiene médico de cabecera y no tenía síntomas; por lo tanto, encontrar un proveedor de atención médica que haga una receta para la prueba era un desafío.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuando le hicieron la prueba el 4 de julio, ya estaba hacía más de una semana en su período de cuarentena—todavía sin ir a trabajar y posiblemente exponiendo a sus padres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Definitivamente no creo que haya valido la pena. Voy a ir mañana a trabajar, mis 14 días han terminado, y todavía no tengo los resultados,” dijo el jueves pasado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La historia de Campbell es también la de un “trabajador esencial,” que incluye a los empleados de la producción de alimentos y de las tiendas de comestibles. Aun así, no fue fácil para él acceder a una prueba. Los trabajadores esenciales, tengan o no síntomas, están en el “Nivel 1” de las \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/Expanding-Access-to-Testing-Updated-Interim-Guidance-on-Prioritization-for-COVID-19-Laboratory-Testing-0501.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pautas de prueba\u003c/a> (en inglés\u003cem>)\u003c/em> actuales del estado; eso significa que deberían tener prioridad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sherrie Totoki, 33, se hizo la prueba en San Francisco Community College. Le dijeron que tendría los resultados en dos o tres días, así que hizo planes para visitar a su hermana que recién había tenido un bebé en Los Ángeles. Luego de una semana sin tener resultados, le dijeron que el laboratorio nunca había recibido su prueba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ella dijo que cuando llegó a Los Ángeles se mantuvo alejada de su familia hasta que encontró un centro de atención urgente en Pasadena que ofrecía un nuevo tipo de prueba de diagnóstico, conocida como prueba de antígenos, diseñada para la detección rápida del virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luego de una hora y de $125, obtuvo el resultado negativo. Ese mismo día más tarde, recibió un segundo mensaje con respecto a su prueba gratuita original en San Francisco donde le notificaban que habían encontrado su prueba. El resultado: negativo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Valió la pena porque quería conocer a mi sobrino, pero perdí mucho tiempo intentando que me hagan la prueba,” dijo Totoki.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Para Andy Lagomarsino de Stockton de 74 años, esperar los resultados no fue el problema— el problema fue la confusión en cuanto a cómo iniciar la prueba. Dijo que manejó hasta Sutter Gould Medical Foundation a fines de junio. Le indicaron que condujera hasta un estacionamiento y que llamara al número del puesto de estacionamiento para recibir más instrucciones.

Dos compañeros de cuarto de Fresno que pidieron al mismo tiempo realizarse una prueba en el mismo lugar obtuvieron citas con casi una semana de diferencia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson Blaker de Los Ángeles estuvo sentado en su automóvil con las ventanillas levantadas durante una hora con 90 grados de calor, algo que le hubiera gustado haber sabido porque no tiene aire acondicionado. Los que no tienen automóvil dijeron que las pruebas llegando a pie pueden ser más difíciles de conseguir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miles Campbell de Woodland se enteró el 25 de junio que un compañero en el almacén del\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>supermercado en el que trabaja ha dado positivo para coronavirus. Él decidió hacerse la prueba porque vive con sus padres y no quiere exponerlos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aunque había escuchado que la prueba era gratuita, llamó a su seguro para cerciorarse de que no lo sorprendería una factura. Dijo que el representante le informó que únicamente le cubrirían el costo si la prueba fuera ordenada por su médico de cabecera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campbell, 23, no tiene médico de cabecera y no tenía síntomas; por lo tanto, encontrar un proveedor de atención médica que haga una receta para la prueba era un desafío.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuando le hicieron la prueba el 4 de julio, ya estaba hacía más de una semana en su período de cuarentena—todavía sin ir a trabajar y posiblemente exponiendo a sus padres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Definitivamente no creo que haya valido la pena. Voy a ir mañana a trabajar, mis 14 días han terminado, y todavía no tengo los resultados,” dijo el jueves pasado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La historia de Campbell es también la de un “trabajador esencial,” que incluye a los empleados de la producción de alimentos y de las tiendas de comestibles. Aun así, no fue fácil para él acceder a una prueba. Los trabajadores esenciales, tengan o no síntomas, están en el “Nivel 1” de las pautas de prueba actuales del estado; eso significa que deberían tener prioridad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sherrie Totoki, 33, se hizo la prueba en San Francisco Community College. Le dijeron que tendría los resultados en dos o tres días, así que hizo planes para visitar a su hermana que recién había tenido un bebé en Los Ángeles. Luego de una semana sin tener resultados, le dijeron que el laboratorio nunca había recibido su prueba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Dijo que manejó hasta Sutter Gould Medical Foundation a fines de junio. Le indicaron que condujera hasta un estacionamiento y que llamara al número del puesto de estacionamiento para recibir más instrucciones. No se requería una cita; parecía bastante fácil, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Según Lagomarsino, estuvo más de una hora llamando por teléfono, pero nunca logró que nadie responda. Se fue y volvió el segundo día. Luego el tercero. “Eventualmente me hicieron la prueba, pero tuve que armar un gran escándalo,” dijo. “Procurar que me hagan la prueba fue el circo más grande”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sus resultados estuvieron al día siguiente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Con el propósito de mejorar las pruebas, California ha establecido un sistema de más de 1,000 sitios de pruebas públicos y privados.

En UC Davis Health dijeron que no tienen suficientes kits para ayudar con las pruebas fuera de este sistema. Las pruebas para sus propios pacientes y sus empleados continuarán de la misma manera. En Sutter Health en el norte de California dijeron que también están buscando suministros de varios proveedores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En Kaiser Permanente dijeron que están trabajando por una meta de 20,000 pruebas por día. “Sin embargo, seguimos preocupados por la disponibilidad de los suministros necesarios para las pruebas en las próximas semanas y en los próximos meses,” dijo Witt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom declaró que no quiere que la escasez y los retrasos disuadan a la gente de buscar hacerse las pruebas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mire, si tiene síntomas, si está en una categoría de alto riesgo…le alentamos a que se haga la prueba, no se desanime en algunos casos por algunas de estas demoras,” dijo. “Sepa que tenemos un equipo trabajando horas extra para esto”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La cobertura de atención médica de CalMatters está apoyada por una subvención por parte de la Fundación Blue Shield de California.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elcoronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leer más reportes de KQED en Español. \u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Síga CalMatters en Twitter y Facebook.

A \u003ca href=\"https://www.afge.org/article/bipartisan-bill-introduced-to-fund-uscis-to-avoid-furloughs/\">bill\u003c/a> introduced by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo) this month would do that. But Lofgren and other Democrats have been lukewarm to the idea of raising fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike most federal agencies, USCIS \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-proposes-to-adjust-fees-to-meet-operational-needs\">funds\u003c/a> its operations with immigrant application fees. After the agency halted in-person services due to the pandemic and the worldwide travel shutdown, its earnings collapsed by half, starting in March, according to officials. Offices began to \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-office-closings\">reopen\u003c/a> last month, but revenues are still lagging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This dramatic drop in revenue has made it impossible for our agency to operate at full capacity,” said a USCIS spokesperson. “Without additional funding from Congress before August 3, USCIS has no choice but to administratively furlough a substantial portion of our workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics say that the agency was already on shaky financial ground well before the coronavirus tore through the country. And they blame the Trump administration’s management of the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS had at least $790 million in cash reserves in 2017, then went into a budget deficit the following year, according to agency figures analyzed by researchers at the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/news/uscis-severe-budget-shortfall\">Migration Policy Institute\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ur Jaddou, former chief counsel at USCIS, said President Trump’s restrictive immigration policies have cost the agency significant losses in revenue by excluding many immigrants from work permits and other benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Jaddou estimates that since the Trump administration took steps to end the humanitarian protections called \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824078/essential-workers-with-temporary-protected-status-could-be-at-risk-of-deportation\">Temporary Protected Status\u003c/a> for more than 400,000 immigrants, USCIS has lost nearly $200 million in TPS renewal fees every 18 months. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the furloughs go into effect and fewer employees are at work to process petitions, more immigrants could be locked out of benefits for which they’re eligible — including becoming naturalized U.S. citizens, just months before the presidential election, Jaddou said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an insidious, bureaucratic way of achieving many of the policies that this administration has implemented since the beginning,” Jaddou said, who now directs \u003ca href=\"https://americasvoice.org/uncategorized/about-us-dhs-watch/\">DHS Watch\u003c/a> at the pro-immigration group America’s Voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first three months of this year, USCIS received more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/Reports%20and%20Studies/Immigration%20Forms%20Data/Naturalization%20Data/N400_performancedata_fy2020_qtr2.pdf\">40,000\u003c/a> naturalization petitions at its offices in California, about 17% of the total requests for U.S. citizenship nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, USCIS naturalized more than 750,000 people, and processed more than 630,000 green card petitions, which allow immigrants to live and work permanently in the U.S., according to an agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/reports/2018_USCIS_Statistical_Annual_Report_Final_-_OPQ_5.28.19_EXA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report\u003c/a>.

A \u003ca href=\"https://www.afge.org/article/bipartisan-bill-introduced-to-fund-uscis-to-avoid-furloughs/\">bill\u003c/a> introduced by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo) this month would do that.

After the agency halted in-person services due to the pandemic and the worldwide travel shutdown, its earnings collapsed by half, starting in March, according to officials.

And they blame the Trump administration’s management of the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS had at least $790 million in cash reserves in 2017, then went into a budget deficit the following year, according to agency figures analyzed by researchers at the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/news/uscis-severe-budget-shortfall\">Migration Policy Institute\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ur Jaddou, former chief counsel at USCIS, said President Trump’s restrictive immigration policies have cost the agency significant losses in revenue by excluding many immigrants from work permits and other benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Jaddou estimates that since the Trump administration took steps to end the humanitarian protections called \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824078/essential-workers-with-temporary-protected-status-could-be-at-risk-of-deportation\">Temporary Protected Status\u003c/a> for more than 400,000 immigrants, USCIS has lost nearly $200 million in TPS renewal fees every 18 months. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
