His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>It’s déjà vu all over again (and again and again).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health officials in nearly every Bay Area county — and some neighboring ones — urged residents on Friday to once again mask up in public indoor spaces and take other COVID-19 precautions, as cases and hospitalizations rise across the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a rare joint statement, officials in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties said the Bay Area is now home to California’s highest infection rates, an unwelcome uptick fueled by the \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/article/omicron-subvariants-guide/\">highly contagious omicron subvariants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing an increase in cases, and that’s true throughout the region,” Dr. Susan Philip, San Francisco’s health officer, told KQED in an interview Friday. “We’re on the upswing right now. And to me, that’s the trend that we should be thinking about and then making our decisions based on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since early April, case rates in almost every county in the region have ticked up faster than the statewide average, officials said, noting that the number of positive cases are likely higher than reported given the prevalence of at-home tests. And COVID-related hospitalizations in the area, while still relatively low, are also rising at a more rapid clip than elsewhere in the state.[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"covid-19\"] Philip emphasized that Friday’s warning is “not meant to scare people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Really, what we are trying to do is make people aware that this is happening and then to remind them of all the ways that they can personally take steps to either prevent COVID infections, if that’s their goal, or to know how they can get treatment if they do test positive, if they are higher risk,” she said, adding that it’s not known why there are more infections in this area compared to others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health officials doubled down on their ongoing recommendation that people wear \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11900169/choosing-the-right-mask-can-help-protect-against-the-omicron-variant\">high-quality mask\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11900169/choosing-the-right-mask-can-help-protect-against-the-omicron-variant\">s\u003c/a> (like N95/KN95s or snug-fitting surgical masks) in public indoor areas — even though doing so is no longer required in most places. They also encouraged residents to stay up to date on vaccinations by getting boosters when eligible, and getting tested after potential exposures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Philip said that despite the troubling increase, officials in San Francisco are “not considering at the moment going back towards mandates,” including the city’s recently lifted mask rule for passengers riding on Muni.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are at a time now in the pandemic that’s very different than where we’ve been for the past few years because of the high uptake of vaccines — 84% of us now being vaccinated — and also because we have treatments,” she said, pointing to the increasing availability of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Paxlovid-covid-california-17169744.php\">Paxlovid and other antiviral pills\u003c/a> that can help stave off more serious COVID symptoms. The treatments, she said, will be increasingly accessible online and at community pharmacies for seniors and people with medical conditions who test positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while cases and hospitalizations are on the rise, Philip said that unlike in some of the previous surges, the number of people needing treatment in hospital intensive care units remains low. Vaccines and other therapies have so far helped keep people from getting “very, very sick with COVID-19,” she said. “The data are really encouraging.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And to me, that’s the trend that we should be thinking about and then making our decisions based on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since early April, case rates in almost every county in the region have ticked up faster than the statewide average, officials said, noting that the number of positive cases are likely higher than reported given the prevalence of at-home tests. And COVID-related hospitalizations in the area, while still relatively low, are also rising at a more rapid clip than elsewhere in the state.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They also encouraged residents to stay up to date on vaccinations by getting boosters when eligible, and getting tested after potential exposures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Philip said that despite the troubling increase, officials in San Francisco are “not considering at the moment going back towards mandates,” including the city’s recently lifted mask rule for passengers riding on Muni.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are at a time now in the pandemic that’s very different than where we’ve been for the past few years because of the high uptake of vaccines — 84% of us now being vaccinated — and also because we have treatments,” she said, pointing to the increasing availability of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Paxlovid-covid-california-17169744.php\">Paxlovid and other antiviral pills\u003c/a> that can help stave off more serious COVID symptoms. The treatments, she said, will be increasingly accessible online and at community pharmacies for seniors and people with medical conditions who test positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while cases and hospitalizations are on the rise, Philip said that unlike in some of the previous surges, the number of people needing treatment in hospital intensive care units remains low. Vaccines and other therapies have so far helped keep people from getting “very, very sick with COVID-19,” she said. “The data are really encouraging.”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She said she has worked 13 days in the last two weeks, frequently taking care of more than a dozen patients at a time or working a double shift when asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d have to sit down at least 10 minutes because I just get tired, and I’m still tired honestly,” said Celine, who works at the Pines at Placerville Healthcare Center, and asked not to be fully identified because she fears losing her job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Severe worker shortages — worsened by the omicron surge — have forced some of California’s long-term care facilities to rely on COVID-positive staff for patient care. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/SNFsCOVID_19.aspx\">According to state data\u003c/a>, 11,500 long-term care center workers, or roughly 8% of the workforce, are now infected with COVID.
