So far, 92,020 people have been tested for the disease in the county of 2.1 million residents, of which 8.5% were positive. Testing has been increasing steadily this month. In early June, the county was averaging just under 1,700 test results per day, but that number has now risen to more than 2,000 for the first time ever. However, the number of positive tests has been increasing even more. On June 1, the county was averaging about 140 new cases per day, but it’s now approaching an average of 200 cases per day. #tail{fill:url(#fade)}#head{fill:#616570}stop{stop- color:#616570} https://www.sbsun.com/...navirus-cases/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_content=tw-sbsun[6/16/2020 3:13:43 PM] San Bernardino County reports highest one-day jump in coronavirus cases – San Bernardino Sun A projected 4,749 people have recovered from the disease, RELATED LINKS according to the county’s data.

Of the total number of cases, 4,749 of those infected have recovered or are projected to do so. The county also reported no additional deaths, remaining at 228. The county’s overall fatality rate is 2.9%. About 79% of the deaths have occurred in people over age 60, and 57% were in people over the age of 70. The county has not reported a new death since Friday. Testing in San Bernardino County has increased 2.9%, or 2,097 people, since Monday, bring the county’s total number of tests to 92,020. The positive testing rate is 8.5%. Increased testing, however, is still falling short of daily targets that would help clarify how far the virus has spread. State guidelines recommend 3,288 tests per day. So far, the county has surpassed that daily goal three times since it began tracking in April, according to the county’s testing dashboard. There are 206 confirmed COVID-19 patients being hospitalized, 2 more patients than what was reported Monday. There are an additional 89 patients suspected of being COVID-19 positive. There are 77 positive cases in the ICU, 18 suspected cases in the ICU, and 140 available ICU beds. San Bernardino County has remained in the top five of those with the most cases around the state, along with Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego and Orange counties. In the High Desert, Victorville added 26 cases on Tuesday, while Hesperia added 10. All other additions were fewer than 10 each. Cases in the High Desert totaled 895 on Tuesday, an increase of 56 from Monday. The vast majority of those — 776, or 86.7% — were in Victorville, Hesperia, Adelanto, Apple Valley and Barstow. Victorville has amassed the highest number of deaths in the High Desert, with eight. Adelanto has recorded three deaths, and Apple Valley, Barstow and Hesperia have two each. Combined, the Victor Valley’s four cities and Barstow have 17 of the High Desert’s 21 COVID-19-related deaths. Here is the list of cases and deaths in the High Desert. Changes from Wednesday are in parentheses: Adelanto: 109 cases (+4), 3 deaths Apple Valley: 96 cases (+7), 2 deaths Barstow: 30 cases (+3), 2 deaths Fort Irwin: 2 cases Hesperia: 200 cases (+10), 2 deaths Crestline: 16 cases, 2 deaths Rimforest: 1 case Running Springs: 5 cases Wrightwood: 2 cases Total: 35 cases, 3 deaths Desert Sun reporter Brian Blueskye covers arts and entertainment.

Gavin Newsom’s proposed cuts, including the closing the veterans home in Barstow. After helping pull the Veterans Home of California-Barstow from the list of proposed cuts for the state’s upcoming fiscal year budget, 33rd District Assemblyman Jay Obernolte said he was “elated” that the state Legislature approved the spending plan that rejects most of the proposed cuts if Congress does not send the state more money by Oct. 1 to cover the shortfall amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “This budget also includes a guarantee that not a single veteran in this home may ever be involuntarily displaced,” Obernolte, R-Big Bear, said in a statement. “Keeping this vital facility open is a huge victory for our veterans, their families, and our community.” Obernolte had been a vocal supportor of the VHC-Barstow, which was founded in 1996 and is home to nearly 200 veterans. When contacted Tuesday, CalVet spokesperson Lindsey Sin said they did not have a statement on Monday’s budget approval. Sin provided the language from the Budget Act pertaining to the veterans home. The Department of Veterans Affairs is required to hold at least three stakeholder meetings, and provide a report to the Legislature by Feb. 1, 2021, regarding its plan for the home. The news follows several recent rallies in Barstow. One rally on Memorial Day drew thousands to the veterans home where residents waved signs and American flags while cheering on demonstrators. Barstow Mayor Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre said at the time that the event was designed to send Newsom a message not to close VHC-Barstow, one of eight homes in the state that offers residential and skilled nursing services for veterans and their spouses. In addition to closing the facility, Newsom’s revised budget called for a one-year delay to realigning levels of care at the veterans’ homes in Chula Vista and Yountville.

I have felt powerless because I am restricted from voting – the result being I have no say in policies that affect my everyday life. Part of my rehabilitation involves understanding the effect that my crimes had on our community. As I began to understand what I’ve done, I became acutely aware of what my harmful behavior produced – a loss of connection to the place where I grew up, went to school, and made friends. That made me conscious of society’s sole intent for incarcerating me – punishment. I accepted it, embraced it, and learned from my mistakes. Over time, however, I began to realize that I have a stake in my community as a citizen of the state of California, even if I have been separated from society.
