There’s no way Southern California’s highly populated counties can meet Gov. Gavin Newsom’s benchmarks for novel coronavirus cases and deaths that must be met for businesses to open earlier, supervisors in several counties said.

Supervisors in Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange counties are discussing a joint effort to convince Newsom to revise his benchmarks, which among other milestones call for no COVID-19 deaths for two weeks and just one new case per 10,000 for two weeks.

If counties meet the benchmarks, businesses can reopen faster in the governor’s four-phase

reopening plan. California is currently in phase two, which allows florists, bookstores, and other retailers to offer curbside pickup.

Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, each with millions of residents, currently don’t qualify to reopen earlier. “(The benchmarks) are unattainable by the County of Riverside and quite frankly, unattainable by any urban county in Southern California,” Riverside County Supervisor V. Manuel Perez said Friday, May 8.

Kaiser did what the board asked Saturday. The board’s vote followed two meetings and more than nine hours of public testimony in what became an emotional showdown between individual rights and the need to stop an airborne virus that’s killed more than 80,000 in the U.S. and 2,700 in California.

The board delayed its vote May 5 in hopes Newsom’s benchmark unveiled Thursday would bring good news and clarity to efforts to align with state coronavirus rules.

Perez, a Democrat like the governor, said Friday he was “taken aback and honestly, disappointed” by what Newsom outlined, especially since the county has the hospital capacity to weather a COVID-19 surge and has made great strides in testing.

Supervisor Chuck Washington, another Democrat, said the governor “disappointed all of us with his announcements” and that he heard similar frustrations from county supervisors across the state during a California State Association of Counties conference call.

“We can’t achieve two weeks of zero deaths. That’s impossible in the very near term and probably in the very far term,” Washington said, later adding: “I’m upset because we are ready to go.”

The governor’s press office did not respond to a request for comment. Newsom has said that science and data, not politics, will guide the state’s reopening.

Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Hewitt on Friday wanted to join counties like Yuba, Sutter, and Modoc that have allowed shopping malls, gyms, dine-in restaurants and hair salons to open in defiance of state COVID-19 restrictions.

“You couldn’t have one death in 14 days in a county the size of Riverside?” asked Hewitt, a Libertarian. “How do you negotiate with somebody that sets those kind of goals?”

He later added: “When a governor’s orders threaten the lives and the well-being and the very futures of my constituents, I don’t view him as a friend anymore.”

Supervisor Kevin Jeffries said that while “I don’t think RELATED LINKS anyone’s doubting that some of the stuff the governor’s

doing is not constitutional nor wise,” the county can’t “get Southern California counties failing state rid of” state authority. benchmarks to reopen economy further

“I think (by rescinding Riverside County’s orders) we take a After nearly 7-hour session, Riverside win here for Riverside County’s really hard-hit families,” County supervisors vote to lift 3 coronavirus health orders Jeffries said Friday. “Take this win and then figure out,

working with everybody else in the other counties, how do California to begin reopening at end of the we push back on a governor who has incredible power and week, Newsom says actually win and save our state?” State’s coronavirus cases keep rising over Hewitt replied: “I don’t know. A tiny little colony did that weekend, mostly in Southern California about 250 years ago.” Student life may look a lot different on

Rather than being “reckless,” Washington said Riverside college campuses this fall County should see “if there are other counties in Southern California that want to partner with us to go to court to get some sort of movement out of the governor. We will have the power in numbers.”

‘One voice’

Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner confirmed Monday that he’s spoken with Perez and San Bernardino County Supervisor Curt Hagman, who chair their respective boards, about a draft letter asking Newsom to tweak some of the benchmarks.

Wagner said it’s a bipartisan effort that’s not intended to criticize Newsom’s handling of the pandemic.

“The idea is simply to ask the governor to come up with criteria that are more reflective of the actual situation on the ground in the more urban counties,” he said.

After hearing Perez’s statements Friday, Hagman reached out about working together, San Bernardino County spokesman David Wert said.

“The result is this letter that our county is working on,” Wert RELATED ARTICLES said.

By YVETTE MCDOWELL |  PUBLISHED: May 12, 2020 at 12:36 a.m. | UPDATED: May 12, 2020 at 12:36 a.m.

In an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19 from jails into the community, the Judicial Council of California has issued an emergency order requiring $0 bail for people accused of certain misdemeanor and nonviolent felony offenses. This order will reduce the number of people held in close quarters in our county jails, preventing transmission to other incarcerated people, jail staff, and our entire community. As a former prosecutor, I believe this order is important in our fight against COVID-19, and I was shocked to see San Bernardino officials trying to block it.

As a former Assistant City Prosecutor in Pasadena and as a current resident of San Bernardino County, I strongly support the Judicial Council’s emergency order. First, people who are arrested but have money have always been released. This order affects only those locked up until their case is heard because they cannot afford bail — in most cases a few hundred dollars. I do not believe that

indigent people should be incarcerated simply because they do not have cash on hand.

The order only applies to certain misdemeanor and nonviolent felony offenses. It does not release anyone accused of murder, rape, robbery, domestic violence, or a sex offense. The order clearly states that a judge can review cases and ensure there are no public safety concerns. I trust San Bernardino’s judges to determine which defendants can and cannot be released safely.

Local officials across the country are collaborating to reduce jail populations during the pandemic in order to protect officers and community members alike. Sheriffs and police from Los Angeles to Montana are issuing citations instead of arresting suspects for all but the most threatening cases, and police unions are on board. District Attorneys from Salt Lake City to Northeast Florida are supporting release for people held pretrial for inability to pay bail on lower-level offenses.

California counties push to reopen ahead

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — More than two dozen California counties have asked for permission to loosen their stay-at-home orders beyond what the state allows, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday, promising a speedy review of their requests as jobs continue disappearing by the millions in a coronavirus-induced economic downturn.

Newsom relaxed some statewide restrictions last week by allowing curbside pickup at most retail stores and giving manufacturers the OK to resume with some limits. He’s promised to release guidelines on Tuesday for the return of dine-in restaurants.

But many rural counties with few coronavirus cases are eager to jump ahead of Newsom to get

started on recovering from a statewide stay-at-home order that has been in place for nearly two months.

Other counties are more cautious, prompting a dispute between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Alameda County leaders on Monday when the billionaire businessman reopened his plant in Fremont in defiance of local health orders.

The two extremes show the balance Newsom must strike as he tries to lead the nation’s most populous state through a pandemic that has crippled what had been a roaring economy. Newsom said Monday more than 4.5 million people have filed for unemployment benefits, contributing to a projected $54.3 billion budget deficit.

On Monday, Newsom and leaders from four other western states signed a letter asking Congress for $1 trillion in aid. Meanwhile, California cities have asked the state Legislature for $7 billion in funding to cover a projected statewide shortfall in local government budgets.

The deficits are creating pressure for the state to open the economy faster. The state will allow counties to go beyond the state’s plan, but only if they meet strict standards that include no coronavirus-related deaths and no more than one confirmed case per 10,000 residents in the past two weeks.

Newsom said Monday his administration has discussed plans with 19 counties, with nine others scheduled. Some could have their plans approved by Tuesday. But it’s been difficult for some more populated counties to meet those state standards.

In Kern County, which has nearly 1 million residents spread out over 8,000 square miles

(20,700 square kilometers), local officials say they can’t met the requirements on deaths and infections because of an outbreak at a skilled nursing facility that has accounted for 60% of the county’s deaths. The 184-bed facility now has more than 100 confirmed cases, according The Bakersfield Californian.

“Is it fair to judge them based upon what’s going on in this one facility?” Kern County Supervisor Mike Maggard asked.

Newsom left open the possibility, answering a question during his Monday news conference by saying “We’re open to argument, interested in evidence.”

“There is a lot of really interesting nuance within these large counties and that obviously needs to be taken into account.” he said.

San Luis Obispo County, which stretches along the Central Coast north of Los Angeles, meets the infection requirements if it only counts new cases that are “community or travel-related.” It doesn’t meet the requirements if it includes cases with a “known source or household contact,” which includes 10 cases at the California Men’s Colony prison.

“All of this is sort of uncharted territory for all of us,” said Michelle Shoresman, spokeswoman for the county’s health officials.

Yuba and Sutter counties in Northern California easily meet those standards but have defied the governor by allowing dine-in restaurants, hair salons and gyms to reopen. Last week, the Newsom administration warned the counties they could forfeit federal disaster dollars if they keep ignoring the governor’s order.

https://apnews.com/429e7f9b1d3a10624330cfccd7239fd9[5/12/2020 9:19:07 AM] California counties push to reopen ahead of state guidelines

But Monday, the Democratic governor called the two counties “incredibly cooperative” and said “we’re having some very good conversations.” He predicted that they will “be able to work through a lot of the differences we may have.”

Newsom also sought to broker a peace between Tesla, which employs 10,000 people. In a series of tweets over the weekend, Musk threatened to move the company to another state. Newsom said he has “great expectations” that county leaders can work it out with Musk and said “we look forward to many, many decades of that relationship.”

California has more than 68,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and more than 2,700 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The number of infections is thought to be far higher because of a shortage of testing.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.

At Inland Empire hospitals, the struggle against the novel coronavirus pandemic is up close and personal.

Doctors, nurses, medical assistants, cleaning staff, engineers retrofitting facilities to hold the virus in patients’ rooms and more are working to stop a disease that’s already killed more than 74,000 people in the United States.

Here are 10 of their stories.

“The pressure we’re putting in the lungs is so high that it causes the vent to pop out and spray particles all over,” she said. “That’s happened to me twice now, and you think ‘Oh, I’ve definitely been exposed now.’”

In her nearly eight years as a nurse, Jarvis worked as a medical professional during ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner’s deadly 2013 rampage and during the aftermath of the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack. But this crisis is more intense, she said.

“People are doing fine one minute and then, as we’re monitoring them, and then in the next hour or two, we need to emergency intubate them, because they crash just that fast.”

“It’s just scary to think what could happen,” she said. “The rest of my family is in Texas. We’re video- chatting constantly, but I’m out here alone.”

Nicole Lemelin

Nicole Lemelin, 42, a housekeeping attendant who also works at Kaiser’s Fontana facility, assumes the coronavirus is on every surface in the hospital.

“It’s a constant battle,” she said. “You never let your guard down. You’re constantly wiping, you’re constantly cleaning.”

“I don’t know why I’ve been chosen to be here, to do this work, at this time, but I’m not going to let this fear interfere with what needs to be done.”

Even Lemelin’s home life in Beaumont has changed.

“Being from housekeeping, my house smells like bleach all day, every day,” she laughed. “Everything gets cleaned in my tracks.”

It starts before she gets inside.

“We change in our garages. We go into our home, take our showers and we wash up before we have any communication with our families,” Lemelin said. “I would like to go home and embrace my family in a normal manner. I want to feel safe sitting across the table from them.”

Instead, they spend much of their time in the backyard, physically separated. Three members of her household work in area hospitals.

“When people thank us for doing this work, I don’t think they know that really means,” Lemelin said, breaking down. “I can’t watch the news. I can’t watch TV any more.”

Heidi Sweeney

It’s Heidi Sweeney’s job to make sure the staff at San Antonio Regional Hospital in Upland has what it needs to fight the pandemic, including personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies.

“When you have not just cities and states but multiple countries trying to buy the same supplies, it becomes challenging, to say the least,” said Sweeney, a 50-year-old Riverside resident.

Anticipating heightened demand, Sweeney and the hospital stockpiled supplies. But it still wasn’t enough. Supplies haven’t run out, but have got critically low.

“We put out the call for bleach wipes and we had hundreds of bleach wipes here in a few days,” donated by the public, she said. https://www.sbsun.com/...navirus-fight/?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_content=tw-sbsun[5/12/2020 9:01:01 AM] These 10 Inland Empire medical workers are on front lines of coronavirus fight – San Bernardino Sun

Although she lives under the same roof as her son, daughter-in-law and their 4-month-old baby, fear of infection has kept Sweeney from cuddling with her new grandchild.

“Grandma waves from a distance,” she said.

Dr. Michael Schwartzwald

Among the 1.3 million Americans infected by COVID-19, healthcare workers are among the most likely to exposed, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

But that hasn’t deterred Dr. Michael Schwartzwald and his peers.

“What I’ve really seen from the physicians is just a willingness from everyone to step forward and do what they need for the patients,” said Schwartzwald, 39, who runs the Department of Emergency Medicine at Kaiser’s Fontana hospital. “When you see someone who poses a threat to a person and

their family, I think the normal human response is to pull away, but what you see is people signing up for more hours to help people.”

The number of new COVID-19 patients peaked at his hospital in the third week of March and has started to taper off.

But that doesn’t mean the staff isn’t afraid of contracting the potentially deadly disease.

“Most people are worried about bringing it home to their own family,” said Schwartzwald, who has three children at home in Yorba Linda.

Some staff members who have asked their spouses or parents to take care of their children during the pandemic. Others have quarantined themselves in tents in their yards.

Medical professionals are bothered, he said, when people ignore social distancing rules.

“When you go out with your friends and are hanging out socially, not only are you putting yourself at risk, and getting the people around you sick, you increase the volume of people coming into hospitals and emergency rooms,” Schwartzwald said.

Lauren Baca

As the coronavirus pandemic began in the United States, nurse Lauren Baca guessed her floor of Hemet Global Medical Center would end up being the COVID-19 quarantine floor. Hospital workers spent a day converting the floor. Each room got its own antechamber to allow staff to put on or remove protective gear while treating COVID-19 patients. And the new ventilation system is loud.

“We do have to sort of yell at the patients so they can hear at us and they have to yell at us back,” said Baca, 33.

Like many in her field, the San Jacinto resident hopes the public stays the course with social distancing and other measures to slow the coronavirus’s spread.

“I know it sucks. Believe me, I’m one of these people who would love to go and get a haircut. I’m about to cut it off myself,” Baca said. “In New York, they literally can’t give people the care they want to, because they’re so overwhelmed. I don’t want us to get to that point.”

Dr. John Carvalho

Menifee resident Dr. John Carvalho avoids leaving his house, other than going to work on the COVID- 19 quarantine floor at Hemet Global Medical Center.

“We’ve all had to adapt to being a thousand times more conscious about what kind of environment we’re in, what condition our gowns are in, how we’re taking them on and off,” said Carvalho, 34, one of the resident physicians on the floor. “It almost becomes a caricature of how we were trained.”

He wears N95 respirator masks, along with goggles, a plastic face shield, a surgical cap and waterproof shoes. Despite all that, Carvalho limits how much time he spends in public, even when getting groceries or meals.

“I can’t ever know fully how much I would be exposing other people,” he said. “We try to make one trip a week or less, order things ahead of time to just pick up or just get it delivered.”

Air now flows differently through Redlands Community Hospital.

Facilities staff worked “around the clock” in March, creating more than 60 new isolation rooms to keep patients and staff safe. Powerful air scrubbers clean the air and negative-pressure machines keep potentially infected air from leaking out.

“It essentially creates a vacuum in the room and runs all the air through a very sophisticated air filtration system,” said Blaine Cauthron, 43, a facilities engineer.

The resulting air is 99.987% clean.

“We’re here to serve the patients,” said Cauthron, who lives in Yucaipa. “The people who are here, lying in the bed, they don’t want to be here.”

For Eric Fowler, San Antonio Regional Hospital is an island of calm during the pandemic, relatively speaking.

Normally, Ashleigh Sriamai works as a medical assistant in San Antonio Regional Hospital’s urgent care center.

Now the 25-year-old Ontario resident spends her days in a tent in the hospital parking lot. She’s part of a team inserting swabs in the noses of people in their cars seven days a week for coronavirus

testing.

“That swab does have to go to the top of the palette,” Sriamai said. “It’s easy, on my end, to get the swab where it needs to go, but from a patient standpoint, I’ve heard that it burns, or that water is going up their nose. It can be highly uncomfortable.”

Only four of the hospital’s medical assistants do the work, to limit the other assistants’ possible exposure.

At Redlands Community Hospital, it takes up to two hours to fully clean a room after a COVID-19 patient has used it.

It’s a continuous, round-the-clock, effort to keep things clean.

“We’re human,” said Rosalilia Aguilar, a 35-year-old Highland resident and the Environmental Services Department’s lead technician at Redlands Community Hospital. “We definitely get a little scared.”

Riverside County’s confirmed novel coronavirus cases grew 3% as the number of deaths rose by 12 in the latest numbers posted on the county public health website Monday, May 11.

The county now has 5,189 cases and 217 deaths. The increases from Sunday’s report typically reflect what’s happened over the past few days. In other words, it’s unlikely that 12 in the county died from COVID-19 between Sunday and Monday.

Official recoveries — those who are out of isolation, show no symptoms and have had their public health cases closed — rose by 26 to 2,645. Hospitalizations are at 199, up 10 from Sunday, with 74 of

the 199 patients being in intensive care, up one from the day before.

CALIFORNIA Coronavirus cases continue to climb in Orange County — but don’t blame the beaches, officials say

There are a number of reasons why Orange County continues to see new coronavirus infections, but there’s no evidence that the throngs of people who flocked to the region’s famed shoreline weeks ago have contributed to the caseload, officials said Monday.

“As of now, that is not something we are pointing to as a cause of cases,” said County Health Officer Dr. Nichole Quick.

The crowds over the weekend of April 25 and 26 — either a prime example of what not to do or a blip that was blown out of proportion, depending on who you ask — prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom

to temporarily close the county’s beaches, a decision state officials said was meant to stave off potentially unsafe conditions that could worsen the spread of COVID-19.

Quick, though, said “correlation to the beach, that is not something that we have evidence of at this point.”

Regardless, Orange County has continued to see its weekly case count rise.

Between April 20 and 26, the county confirmed 441 new COVID-19 cases. That figure jumped to 664 the following week and 787 the week after that.

Though its overall number of cases also continues to rise, neighboring Los Angeles County has seen a dip in how many new cases it’s confirmed week-to-week over the same time period.

Here are the Orange County communities with coronavirus cases

Dr. George Rutherford, an epidemiologist and infectious disease expert at UC San Francisco, said he noticed a steep rise in Orange County’s cases in the days following the weekend of April 25 and 26.

Further investigation is necessary to determine whether the beaches — most of which have since reopened in a limited capacity — contributed to the spread of the coronavirus, however.

“But you know, just us looking at it, there was a big jump in Orange County that was temporally consistent with possible transmission from that crowd event,” Rutherford said.

Another factor is likely increased testing, though, as the county began notably ramping up its daily screening activity starting around April 28.

“As we test more, we’re likely to pick up more cases,” Quick said.

She added that the percentage of people who are tested and come back positive “has remained relatively stable and, overall, has been decreasing, which is good.”

“As we loosen up any amount of the stay-at-home order or put more people to work, we do expect to see an increase in cases,” she said. “So that would be something that would be expected.”

California coronavirus deaths hit stubborn plateau; experts fearful about future

May 11, 2020

The Orange County Health Care Agency confirmed 55 new coronavirus infections Monday, boosting the region’s cumulative total to 3,557.

The increase is the smallest number of new cases in a single day since April 28. But the county also reported only 196 additional COVID-19 tests — the fewest in any one day for which data are available.

The county’s death toll remained unchanged at 76.

As of the latest update, 196 people were hospitalized countywide and 77 of them were in intensive care.

Though health officials say maintaining physical distancing and avoiding gatherings are key to fighting COVID-19, Orange County hasn’t been immune from crowds.

About 1,500 demonstrators flocked to the Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday to call for an end to coronavirus-related economic and social restrictions — the second sizable protest in the city in as many weeks.

Some businesses also have reopened their doors in defiance of state health orders. One, Nomads

Canteen in San Clemente, has recently offered dine-in service despite the state’s prohibition.

When it comes to compliance, Orange County Executive Officer Frank Kim said the approach has been education, rather than bringing down the hammer.

“We’re not out here really trying to work with a heavy hand,” he said Monday. “We’re trying to understand what is going on with each of these entities and working with them to see voluntary compliance.”

Other factors also can fuel increases in COVID-19 activity. The city of Newport Beach said its local case count recently spiked “due to, in large part, outbreaks inside a small number of local care facilities where patients and staff have tested positive.”

“County public health officers and Newport Beach Fire Department officials have met with the CEOs, head nurses and other top staff at the facilities to ensure that best practices are in place to mitigate further spread of the virus,” city officials said in a statement.

Newport Beach spokesman John Pope declined to identify where the outbreaks have occurred or say how many cases have been reported in those facilities. But between Friday and Sunday, the city’s COVID-19 case count jumped from 105 to 130 — an increase he said is “largely attributable” to the local care facilities.

“Our residents would be understandably curious as to why there was such a big spike, and we didn’t want people to speculate as to why it might have occurred,” he said.

MAY 11, 2020 | 5:43 PM

Los Angeles County beaches, which have been closed for more than six weeks, should reopen Wednesday with some restrictions on activities and other rules in place, officials said Monday.

Manhattan, Redondo and other county beaches will reopen on May 13 for active recreation only, the Department of Beaches and Harbors said on Twitter. Permitted activities will include running, walking, swimming and surfing. Group sports like volleyball are prohibited.

More languid activities, including picnicking and sunbathing, and their accessories — canopies, coolers and the like — will continue to be prohibited.

Face coverings will be mandatory for anyone on the sand, but not for people in the water. People will be required to practice social distancing by staying at least six feet away from other groups, the department said.

The county’s beaches have been closed since late March. The planned reopening comes days after California began allowing some portions of the economy to reopen, including allowing curbside pickup at bookstores, clothiers, flower shops and other retailers.

A county spokesman said an official reopening date and time will require a public health order from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

The first stage of reopening the beaches should happen “later this week, if all goes well,” Barbara Ferrer, the department’s director, said on Monday. “But it will be with a lot of restrictions in place so that there won’t be overcrowding.”

County health officials will be evaluating how well the reopening goes, she said, including whether people are able to keep moving and not gather in one place.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Monday that he supports reopening the city’s beaches for active recreation, with some restrictions. Sitting or tanning in the “dry areas of sand” would not be a good idea right now, Garcetti said.

“But the wet sand area — if you need to get in there to swim, to surf… that is something I hope we can earn again.”

Manhattan Beach Mayor Richard Montgomery said Monday in a statement that if beachgoers don’t follow the new rules, the beaches could be closed again by state and local officials. Violators could also face fines and criminal prosecution, the city said.

The restrictions closely match new policies at Orange County beaches. Some shorelines, including Seal Beach and Dana Point, received permission to reopen after Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered a temporary “hard closure” on April 30, citing concerns with crowds.

distancing, “they can and will close us down, as they did in Orange County,” said Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand on his Facebook page.

He added: “So please, hit the beach, do your thing, and leave. No hanging out for this first phase.”

Hermosa Beach owns its shoreline, but will follow the county’s orders and reopen, the city said Monday. The Strand and the pier will remain closed, but the city’s parking lots will reopen — with time limits — to allow people to access the sand.

READ MORE Twitter to label disputed COVID 19 tweets “People who plan to run,” Mooradian said, “should run with a mask that they can easily pull over their nose and mouth when they come into proximity of other people.”

Surfers, meanwhile, would do best to leave their face coverings on the shore and put it on after exiting the water.

Surfers who do not bring a mask have the option of staying 10 feet from others as they cross and exit the beach, Mooradian said.

Beaches and Harbors, in fact, has recommended increasing social distance from 6 feet to 10 feet when running, Mooradian said.

“If you’re breathing harder,” she said, “there’s more a chance of droplets spreading.”

Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand, in a Facebook post, said Monday the Department of Beaches and Harbors will post signs at the beaches listing phase one rules.

The signs, according to Brand’s post, will say these are allowed during phase one:

Surfing; Swimming; and Running and. walking

The signs will say these are not permitted during phase one:

Gathering; Sitting; Picnicking; Camping; Bringing coolers; Biking; and Volleyball.

If parents want to take small children to the beach, Mooradian said, they can get into the water with them, but cannot linger.

“Anything that looks like leisure activity, such as sitting stationary for a long period of time, is against the rules,” said Mooradian, adding people wanting to hang out must wait until phase two, when small gatherings will be permitted.

The Strand, the piers, bike path, Esplanade and concrete walkways will remain closed during this initial phase, but may open during phase two, officials have said. Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach parking lots will remain closed, according to officials.

Hermosa Beach, which owns its beach, will following the county’s orders and open its stretch of shoreline. Hermosa Beach parking lots will be open, but with time limits to discourage all-day activity.

“We know how important the beach is to our community,” City Manager Suja Lowenthal said in a statement Monday. “And with everyone’s responsible use of the beach during this phase, we look forward to resuming additional beach activities.”

Inmates at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic apparently infected themselves on purpose with COVID-19 in an attempt to get early releases, the Los Angeles County’s sheriff said on Monday.

About two dozen inmates – all living in one module at the North County Correctional Facility on the sprawling Pitchess property – gathered in a common area and passed around a bottle of hot water in mid-April, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.

They also took turns donning a used face mask and inhaling, the sheriff said.

It’s unclear if one of the men thought he had the virus, or if the inmates were just hoping one of them had it and would infect the others, the sheriff said.

READ MORE Twitter to label disputed COVID 19 tweets By There’s no audio in the video. And Villanueva said interviews with the inmates did not turn up evidence that there was a plan. M But the sheriff said there was also no reason for them to share. Each inmate is provided with a personal mask and individual water bottles to fill up at a water dispenser.

At least 21 inmates in the module, out of about 50, later tested positive for coronavirus.

“There was a mistaken belief that this was a way to force our hand, and somehow release more inmates,” Villanueva said, showing a surveillance video during a Monday virtual press conference.

The video shows a group of inmates in the standard-issue blue jumpsuits standing together and passing the objects among themselves.

The sheriff said up until the mid-April incident, there were no confirmed cases of coronavirus at the North County Correctional Facility. But a spike shortly after the incident led deputies to track how inmates were first exposed.

That’s when they discovered the incident on the security-camera footage.

The Sheriff’s Department now believes dozens of additional inmates became infected with the virus because of this one event, the sheriff said.

Deputies are still investigating what happened. If a nurse or deputy gets sick because of the inmates’ actions, charges could be filed against them.

Over the last three months, the Sheriff’s Department has released thousands of inmates to reduce the possibility of a widespread and destructive outbreak of coronavirus in the country’s largest jail system. L.A. County’s jail population is now below 12,000 – about 5,000 fewer than before the pandemic.

Many of those released were inmates with fewer than 30 days left on their sentences. Others were pre-trial detainees charged with non-violent crimes who will now wait for their trials at home.

At least 4,590 inmates – nearly 40 percent – are under quarantine in L.A. County. The number has fluctuated wildly as sheriff’s deputies lock down entire units, some that can house 1,000 inmates each, as they find more coronavirus cases.

The Sheriff’s Department is now testing all new inmates.

Villanueva said some of the cases can be tied to inmates who entered a jail already sick with coronavirus, before testing was available. He said these inmates were asymptomatic.

In Orange and San Bernardino counties, officials said they are not aware of any incident in which inmates intentionally attempted to infect themselves with the coronarivus.

The sheriff said no one in the department anticipated inmates trying to infect themselves on purpose.

“I don’t think we entertained that someone would try and do this,” he said. “But it happened, so we just got to deal with it.”

Business groups push back on L.A. County’s pandemic-spurred worker-retention proposals

A Los Angeles County proposal to require employers to hire back workers who have been laid off during the coronavirus outbreak has sparked push-back by business advocates who say it will hinder efforts to restart pandemic-shuttered industries.

The plan — introduced by county supervisors Janice Hahn and Hilda Solis — would amend the county’s code to establish a so called “right of recall.” The amendment would give workers in janitorial, maintenance, security and hospitality sectors a preference in being rehired if laid off when “businesses file bankruptcies and/or are sold as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.” M The Los Angeles County Business Federation, along with six other local business organizations, say the plan would “create even more confusion and uncertainty for employers during a time when agility

is of paramount importance,” according to a letter from the groups to Kathryn Barger, board of supervisors chair.

Among other concerns, the groups say the proposal:

As Los Angeles County residents continued to traverse tentatively into the gradual “Stage 2” reopening of daily life, public health officials on Monday, May 11, reported 39 additional deaths from the novel coronavirus and nearly 600 new cases.

Long Beach reopened beach bike and pedestrian paths, tennis centers and tennis courts in select parks on Monday. On Wednesday, county beaches will be available for active use only — no M sunbathing, picnicking or volleyball.

Those steps to sequentially ease the county’s Safer at Home orders came on the heels of a weekend

during which residents returned to golf courses and hiking trails — and florists, car dealers and retailers selling such items as books, clothing and sporting goods reopened, with significant safeguards. Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said the county experienced solid compliance with such rules as curb service, facemasks for staff and customers alike and social distancing for all — with authorities forced to close only “a few places.”

Monday’s county statistics included bright spots in the number of hospitalizations, now at 1,690 people, representing a slight decrease over the past week and a half. The percentage of people who have required hospitalization at some point during their illness has also declined in recent days, now at 17% of all positive cases or 5,427 people.

READ MORE Twitter to label disputed COVID 19 tweets Sadly, the county’s death toll nonetheless persisted. Overall, 1,569 people have died in L.A. County from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, since the outbreak began. Roughly 92% had underlying health conditions and nearly half resided at nursing homes. Among those whose death was reported Monday, one person was 18 to 40 years old without any health problems, according to Ferrer.

“We are saddened that these numbers continue to increase because I know so many people are suffering the loss of their loved ones.,” Ferrer said. “The county family keeps you in our thoughts and prayers.”

The county also reported 591 new cases Monday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the county to 32,258.

The daily numbers made clear that the county was still far away from reaching the benchmarks https://www.dailybulletin.com/...utm_source=twitter.com&utm_content=tw-ivdailybulletin&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=social[5/11/2020 3:52:27 PM] 39 more coronavirus deaths reported as L.A.

required to completely return life back to pre-pandemic “normal.”

Based on state guidelines, counties can reopen faster when they log two weeks without a single coronavirus death and just one new case for every 10,000 residents.

In Los Angeles County, with a population of about 10 million, that would mean the county needs to report fewer than 72 cases per day. Considering other benchmarks, however — including hospital-bed capacity and contact tracers — the county is more in line with expectations.

A quick look at the data shows L.A. County and others falling short of the most important metric: deaths and new cases. Over the past week, the county has averaged roughly 31 deaths per day. The week prior, deaths averaged about 38 people daily, and before that 41 per day. Two weeks without a single death might not happen until the pandemic is over, according to Ferrer.

Under the White House’s plan for states to reopen, California and L.A. County are not yet meeting the standard, either.

Under that plan, declining numbers of cases must be reported over a two-week period. The longest decline in cases in L.A. County occurred for six days beginning on April 27 when the county reported 1,029 cases, based on data that tracks cases by the date the person first experienced symptoms.

The grim reality sunk in Monday as a report by the University of Washington predicted that California could see more than 6,000 deaths from COVID-19 by the end of August, up by about 1,420 from a similar report a week earlier.

“I think we’re all concerned about the fact that as we’re about more it could lead to more people dying,” Ferrer said. “We’re gonna to have to watch our numbers really closely. Right now we’ve had a fair amount of stability and some tiny decreases. If we see the spike in that model that would be worrisome. If it’s really distressing we might need to implement restrictions again.”

Ferrer cautioned that as beaches reopened for active use on Wednesday and further virus-impeding orders were relaxed in the future, as the county’s five-stage strategy continues, health officials would continue to move deliberately, assessing each step. It’s possible, too, that a re-tightening of restrictions could be imposed if the numbers tilt upward.

“Our health care workers are the heroes of this pandemic,” Ferrer said. “We thank all of our health care workers from the bottom of all our hearts.”

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD | [email protected] |  PUBLISHED: May 12, 2020 at 6:30 a.m. | UPDATED: May 12, 2020 at 6:31 a.m.

Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans to ease the state’s strict shutdown orders.

As a result, the state moved to Phase 2 of the governor’s re-opening plan on Friday.

Under this stage, some businesses (book, clothing, sporting-goods, floral and music stores) could reopen for curbside delivery and under other conditions.

The governor has talked about “regionalism” — i.e., recognizing the different situations faced by remote counties and big, urban ones. But instead of respecting those differences, he sent regulators to punish counties that planned wider re-openings.

Read Article

The state criteria remain unrealistically limited. Counties that have had no deaths in two weeks can ask to re-open more widely, but a news analysis shows that only a handful could meet the tough

standard. The Phase 2 plan supposedly gives locals more control, but it’s just window-dressing once one peruses the vague certification criteria enforced by the state. R

Local governments must meet “criteria that includes the capacity on testing, their capacity on tracing, the capacity on physical distancing and sanitation, and their capacity to protect the most vulnerable residents in their community,” according to the governor’s guidelines.

One Santa Clara County health officer told the Los Angeles Times, for instance, that “she foresees a need to create an expanded disease detective team twice the size of the local public health department.” If Newsom enforces that level of standard, then it could be many months before life approaches normal again. Meanwhile, the state government has failed to ramp up to its promised level of testing.

Phase 2 is supposed to eventually allow seated restaurant dining, but the hurdles require that counties meet those nebulous state-imposed standards. The governor forced 80 bars that had reopened to shut down again by threatening to revoke their business licenses.

This vacillation between stressing a top-down, statewide approach to understanding the wide differences between counties continued on Monday.

“We recognize no two counties are alike, no two cities within counties are alike,” Newsom said. “Know that these are dynamic conversations, each county requires an enormous amount of attention and support.”

In reality, Newsom seems less interested in local decision-making than he is in having the locals do as he says, even though his orders have at times been arbitrary — as we saw with his Orange County beach-closure orders.

The Editorial Board The editorial board and opinion section staff are independent of the news-gathering side of our organization. Through our staff-written editorials, we take positions on important issues affecting our readership, from pension reform to protecting our region’s unique natural resources to transportation. The editorials are unsigned because, while written by one or more members of our staff, they represent the point of view of our news organization’s management. In order to take informed positions, we meet frequently with government, community and business leaders on important issues affecting our cities, region and state. During elections, we meet with candidates for office and the proponents and opponents of ballot initiatives and then make recommendations to voters.

Even as some parts of the country begin to reopen, many people continue to be told that they should stay home in order to help slow the spread of coronavirus. But if people are safest at home, then why are some governments ordering the closure of short-term rentals, while allowing hotels and other lodging establishments to remain open?

Take Newport Beach, which recently extended its forced shutdown of short-term rentals until May 20. The reasoning appears to be that this closure is necessary to reduce the possibility that some coronavirus carriers might be tempted to shelter in the city (out-of-town medical personnel are, thankfully, exempted).

But continuing to ban short-term rentals may ultimately do more harm than good.

As noted, hotels and other lodging are allowed to continue to operate. But why? Given what the government has told us about how coronavirus spreads, short-term rentals are likely a safer option than hotels. Such rentals are often single-family properties, where guests don’t mingle and don’t share common spaces. It doesn’t make sense to close what is perhaps the safest option for short-term housing, while allowing hotels and motels—which have numerous common spaces and staff moving between rooms—to remain open.

The government should not just randomly choose winners and losers among lawful businesses. Instead, it could propose rules that lodging establishments must follow to protect the safety of their guests and the public—it has long done this for restaurants and other businesses. But choosing to allow hotels and motels to remain in business, but not short-term rentals, smacks of arbitrariness. A well-run, clean short-term rental is safer than a poorly run, dirty hotel. Yet in Newport Beach, the former must be closed, while the latter can operate. The rule should be “clean, don’t close” for short- term rentals and all other lodging.

The alleged goal may be keeping out-of-towners out of Newport Beach, but the order also ignores the reality of the shutdown for many people who are already in the city. Short-term rentals are a tremendously flexible form of housing. Perhaps someone needs (or just wants) more space during the shutdown because they suddenly have kids at home all day who need room to continue their education. Or perhaps a multi-generational household wants to move a vulnerable family member to more secure, more isolated housing. People’s needs are many and varied, and short-term rentals stand ready to meet them—if only the government would let them. Instead, closure orders are forcing people into hotels, where they may be less safe, less comfortable, and less able to maintain some semblance of normalcy.

The parking lot was nearly full at Tesla’s California electric car factory Monday in Fremont, a likely indication the company was resuming production in defiance of an order from county health authorities.

The lot at the massive plant in Fremont, which employs 10,000 workers, appeared to have a similar number of vehicles as it does when the factory is fully operating. A normal complement of workers M would violate orders from the Alameda County Health Department, which has deemed Tesla’s Fremont factory a nonessential business that can’t open under restrictions intended to help stop the

spread of the coronavirus.

Semis were leaving the plant loaded with vehicles that were probably built before the plant was shut down on March 23.

READ MORE MLB owners agree to plan for July start to season “I will be on the line with everyone else,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet Monday. “If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.”

Valerie Capers Workman, Tesla’s head of North American human resources, said in an email to production workers that their furlough ended Sunday and that managers will contact them within 24 hours with their start date and schedule. Those who aren’t comfortable returning to work can stay home on unpaid leave but may no longer be eligible for jobless benefits, she said.

The full parking lot came two days after Tesla sued the Alameda County health department seeking to

overturn its order, and CEO Elon Musk threatened to move Tesla’s manufacturing operations and headquarters from the state.

“Our employees are excited to get back to work, and we’re doing so with their health and safety in mind,” Tesla’s Saturday statement said.

Tesla contends in the lawsuit that Alameda County can’t be more restrictive than orders from Gov. Gavin Newsom. The lawsuit says the governor’s coronavirus restrictions refer to federal guidelines classifying vehicle manufacturing as essential businesses that are allowed to continue operating.

“Frankly, this is the final straw,” Musk wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately.”

He wrote that whether the company keeps any manufacturing in Fremont depends on how Tesla is treated in the future.

On Monday, Newsom professed not to know if Tesla had reopened. “Not aware (of) the details of that,” he said.

“I have great expectations that we can work through at the county levels,” the governor said about conflicts involving the Fremont plant. He said county health directors are in charge of restrictions and the timing of any resumption of manufacturing.

The Bay Area order currently calls for limited return of business and manufacturing, with health restrictions, starting May 18.

“We look forward to many, many decades of that relationship” with Tesla, Newsom said.

The governor has repeatedly said that counties can impose restrictions that are more stringent than state orders. Alameda County was among six San Francisco Bay Area counties that were the first in the nation to impose stay-at-home orders in mid-March.

Early in the coronavirus crisis, Newsom praised Musk as the “perfect example” of the private sector assisting the state in the pandemic. His comments came after Musk pledged to provide more than 1,000 ventilators to California hospitals, a fact Newsom repeated often and called a “heroic effort.”

But whether Musk made good on the promise remains in dispute. Several weeks after Newsom was touting the ventilators, the state said it hadn’t heard of any being delivered. Musk responded, demanding on Twitter that Newsom correct the record and sharing tweets and screenshots from hospitals and Los Angeles County thanking him for sending supplies.

Musk has been ranting about the stay-home order since the company’s April 29 first-quarter earnings were released. He called the restrictions fascist and urged governments to stop taking people’s freedom.

The Bay Area order forced Tesla to close the plant starting March 23 to help prevent the virus’ spread, and it was extended until the end of May. Public health experts say the orders have reduced the number of new coronavirus cases nationwide.

But it has killed nearly 80,000 people in the U.S., with the death toll rising.

Alameda County Sheriff Sgt. Ray Kelly said Monday he didn’t know if Tesla has reopened and that this is in the “attorney phase.” Any enforcement would come from Fremont police, he said. Fremont police did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mayor Lily Mei, who has expressed support for Tesla, also did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

State law allows a fine of up to $1,000 a day or up to 90 days in jail for operating in violation of health orders.

On Monday, the county Health Department referred to a statement it made Saturday saying it was working with Tesla to develop a safety plan allowing the Fremont plant to reopen.

The department said it looks forward to reaching agreement on a plan to reopen “very soon,” but noted that given the sacrifices made to protect public health, “it is our collective responsibility to move through the phases of reopening and loosening the restrictions” in the safest way possible.

Tesla says it has safety procedures to protect workers including increased cleaning, enforcement of social distancing, providing face coverings and gloves where needed, installing barriers between workers when necessary and worker temperature checks at “some locations.”

Despite Musk’s threat, it would be costly and difficult to quickly shift production from Fremont to Texas or Nevada. The Fremont facility is Tesla’s only U.S. vehicle assembly plant, and the company would lose critical production if it shut down the plant to move equipment.

Musk plans another U.S. factory to increase output, possibly in Texas, and could move production once that plant is up and running.

The lack of production in Fremont has cut off Tesla’s revenue and is a big financial strain. On a conference call last month, Musk called the closure of Fremont a “serious risk.”

Tesla’s moves come as competing automakers are starting to reopen factories in the U.S. Toyota also planned to restart production Monday, while General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler all plan to restart their plants gradually on May 18. Tesla is the only major automaker with a factory in California.

Van Houten is imprisoned at the California Institution for Women in Chino.

The motion to California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal was submitted by Rich Pfeiffer, who had requested bail or release for his client, based on her age, in February. The court has not acted on that motion, Pfeiffer said.

“Today I learned that an inmate in Ms. Van Houten’s housing unit tested positive for COVID 19 and she is presently being quarantined,” Pfeiffer said. “Due to her advanced age, this puts Ms. Van Houten at a high risk.”

Van Houten is 70.

Pfeiffer added “Ms. Van Houten is not opposed to home confinement… and she can arrange for all costs outside of prison.”

Van Houten — who is serving a life prison term — was convicted of murder and conspiracy for participating with fellow Manson family members Charles “Tex” Watson and Patricia Krenwinkel in the August 1969 killings of grocer Leno LaBianca, 44, and his 38-year-old wife, Rosemary, who were each stabbed multiple times in their Los Feliz home.

The former Monrovia High School cheerleader did not participate in the Manson family’s killings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others in a Benedict Canyon mansion the night before.

Van Houten has been recommended for parole three times, but those recommendations have all been reversed — twice by then-Gov. Jerry Brown and once in 2019 by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Van Houten is still a threat, Newsom said last year.

“While I commend Ms. Van Houten for her efforts at rehabilitation and acknowledge her youth at the time of the crimes, I am concerned about her role in these killings and her potential for future violence,” he wrote in his decision. “Ms. Van Houten was an eager participant in the killing of the LaBiancas and played a significant role.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, is warning Congress that if the country reopens too soon during the coronavirus pandemic, it will result in “needless suffering and death.”

Fauci is among the health experts testifying to a Senate panel. His testimony comes as President Donald Trump is praising states that are reopening after the prolonged lock-down aimed at controlling the virus’ spread.

Fauci, a member of the coronavirus task force charged with shaping the response to COVID- 19, which has killed tens of thousands of people in the U.S., is testifying via video conference after self-quarantining as a White House staffer tested positive for the virus.

With the U.S. economy in free-fall and more than 30 million people unemployed, Trump has been pressuring states to reopen.

Fauci, in a statement to The New York Times, warned that officials should adhere to federal guidelines for a phased reopening, including a “downward trajectory” of positive tests or documented cases of coronavirus over two weeks, robust contact tracing and “sentinel surveillance” testing of asymptomatic people in vulnerable populations, such as nursing homes.

“If we skip over the checkpoints in the guidelines...then we risk the danger of multiple outbreaks throughout the country,” Fauci wrote. “This will not only result in needless suffering and death, but would actually set us back on our quest to return to normal.”

Other senior health officials scheduled to testify before the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee will also appear via video link after going into self-quarantine, following their exposure to a White House staffer who tested positive. The chairman of the committee, Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, also put himself in quarantine after an aide tested positive. He’ll participate by video, too.

Besides Fauci, of the National Institutes of Health, the other experts include FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn and Dr. Robert Redfield, head of the Centers for Disease https://apnews.com/a05c32d9a76a535238779c7eb1504613?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter[5/12/2020 9:01:58 AM] Fauci warns of 'suffering and death' if US reopens too soon

Control and Prevention, along with Adm. Brett Giroir, the coronavirus “testing czar” at the Department of Health and Human Services.

Even before the gavel drops, the hearing offers two takeaways for the rest of the country, said John Auerbach, president of the nonprofit public health group Trust for America’s Health.

Full Coverage: Virus Outbreak “One thing it tells you is that the virus can have an impact in any workplace setting or any community setting,” said Auerbach. “All businesses will find it very challenging to ensure safety when there are cases.”

Another lesson is that the public officials involved are taking the virus seriously by not appearing in person. “They are following the guidelines that they are recommending to others,” said Auerbach. “There is not a double standard.”

The main questions for the administration experts revolve around the “Three T’s,” or testing, tracing and treatment. Without widespread testing, state and local officials will be basing decisions to reopen businesses and schools on incomplete data with blind spots lurking. Without the ability to do the painstaking work of tracing the contacts of people infected, unwitting transmission will continue. Without effective treatments, hospitals in a given community could be overwhelmed in a COVID-19 rebound. Ultimately, the goal is a vaccine that would offer widespread protection.

The health committee hearing offers a very different setting from the White House coronavirus task force briefings the administration witnesses have all participated in. Senators on the panel are knowledgeable and some have working relationships that go back years with the agencies that the panelists are representing. Most significantly, President Donald Trump will not be controlling the agenda. Confirmed COVID-19 cases across the US per capita

Eyeing the November elections, Trump has been eager to restart the economy, urging on protesters who oppose their state governors’ stay-at-home orders and expressing his own confidence that the coronavrius will fade away as summer advances and Americans return to work and other pursuits.

The ranking Democrat on the health panel, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state, doesn’t think the Trump administration is doing nearly enough to keep the virus under control as the economy reopens.

“President Trump is trying to ignore the facts, and ignore the experts who have been clear we are nowhere close to where we need to be to reopen safely,” she said in a statement. Murray will participate via video, but some senators are expected to attend in person.

Alexander is more nuanced about the nation’s readiness. He suggests there’s enough testing to move to reopen the economy, but worries that there won’t be enough to sustain a return to normality.

“It’s enough to do what we need to do today to reopen,” he said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday. “But it’s not enough, for example, when 35,000 kids and faculty show up on the University of Tennessee campus in August.”

With more types of tests on the market from different manufacturers and providers, testing is an area that’s become particularly difficult for lay people to navigate.

Until now there has been only one kind of test to detect active infection. Called a PCR test, it detects the genetic material of the virus, and is still considered the most accurate.

Last weekend the FDA approved the first “antigen” test, which looks for protein traces of the virus instead, much like rapid tests for flu or strep throat. Antigen tests aren’t as accurate as PCR tests but promise to be faster and easier to use.

A third kind of test detects past infection, by spotting antibodies in people’s blood. But it’s not

yet clear if having those antibodies means someone is immune from another bout of COVID- 19.

A new type of coronavirus test offers a cheaper, quicker way to screen for infections, moving the U.S.

toward the kind of mass screening that experts say is essential to returning millions of Americans to school and work.

But the first so-called antigen test — approved Friday by the Food and Drug Administration under an emergency use authorization — is not quite the kind sought by top government health officials to identify patients with COVID-19. It is less accurate than the current gold standard for testing and can only be run on specialized equipment.

“It is too early to tell” what kind of impact the new test will have, said Patricia Simner of Johns Hopkins University, who researches new ways of diagnosing infectious diseases. “It certainly has the potential to aid in more widespread testing.”

Here’s a closer look at the new test, which was developed by Quidel Corp. in San Diego.

What’s different about this test?

The test screens for new infections by looking for protein traces of the virus called antigens. Hospitals and doctors’ offices use the same approach for rapid tests for flu, strep throat and other infections. But they represent a trade-off, sacrificing some of the accuracy of more rigorous tests in exchange for quicker results at a lower cost.

“They allow you to dramatically expand testing, and they’re very cheap,” said Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA commissioner, in an interview Sunday with CBS. But he acknowledged that “they’re going to miss some patients who have COVID.”

Was the coronavirus made in a Wuhan lab? Here’s what the genetic evidence shows

Previously, the only way to diagnose active infections was a test that detects the genetic material of the virus. Although highly accurate, most of those tests take hours to develop on machines mainly found at commercial labs, hospitals or universities. Abbott Laboratories makes a 15-minute version of the genetic test that runs on its portable machine, but it only does one sample at a time.

Why is antigen testing important?

The U.S. is still struggling to increase testing to the levels that most public health experts say are

essential. Harvard researchers have projected that the nation needs to be able to do 900,000 tests per day to be able to track new cases and contain new outbreaks as the country reopens. That’s more than three times the country’s current daily testing rate of about 275,000.

White House advisor Dr. Deborah Birx and other federal officials have said a “breakthrough” in antigen testing could open the way to daily testing before going to back to work or school.

The National Institutes of Health are pouring $1.5 billion into efforts to develop highly accurate, easy- to-use tests that could be performed without professional oversight or special equipment. Although the Quidel test is an important stepping-stone, it isn’t there yet.

How does it work?

The new test uses a nasal swab, like other screening tests, and delivers results in about 15 minutes.

The sample is put in a tube with testing chemicals and then into a cassette that goes into the company’s electronic reading device. There, it’s exposed to a testing strip embedded with laboratory- made antibodies, the specific blood proteins made by the body’s immune system when it detects an infection. If the antigens and antibodies interact, the test is positive.

How accurate is the test?

The new test is expected to detect about 80% of active COVID-19 infections, according to the FDA. That accuracy rate is similar to rapid antigen tests for seasonal flu.

“They are going to pick up fewer people that are infected,” Simner said. “So that’s where you see a lot of skepticism around using antigen tests for the diagnosis of COVID-19.″

For now, Simner and other experts said negative test results for people showing symptoms should be confirmed with the more accurate genetic test.

“But as you might imagine, that’s not a perfect scenario because you have to do twice as many tests when the result isn’t positive,” said Dr. Robin Patel, director of the Infectious Diseases Research Laboratory at the Mayo Clinic.

What’s next?

Many companies are working on tests that would be more accurate, easier to use and more suitable for mass screenings.

OraSure Technologies has a $700-million federal contract to develop a saliva-based antigen test that wouldn’t require specialized equipment or professional supervision. The company has similar tests for other viruses — including HIV and Ebola — and those have accuracy rates of over 95%. Along with accuracy, the company is focused on speed, aiming to delivers results in 20 to 30 minutes.

“If you are going to test people coming into work, you can’t make them line up at 3 a.m.” OraSure CEO Stephen Tang said. “You need to be able to get their results quickly.”

RIVERSIDE — Gusty winds are expected in the Coachella Valley and the Riverside and San Bernardino county mountains Tuesday, plus rain could fall in the mountains and the Inland Empire Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service.

A trough of low pressure along the West Coast will cause temperatures to drop through Wednesday, then the mercury will gradually rise heading into the weekend, forecasters said.

The NWS issued a wind advisory that will be in effect from noon Tuesday to 5 a.m. Wednesday in the Coachella Valley, the San Gorgonio Pass and the Riverside and San Bernardino county mountains.

Winds out of the west are expected to be between 20 to 30 mph, with gusts possibly reaching 50 mph near desert slopes and mountain passes, forecasters said.
