Noble is a professor of emergency medicine and director of the UCSF Medical Center response to the novel coronavirus that has permeated California and reached into every U.S. state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bags were there to hold personal protective equipment (PPE) — the masks, face shields, gowns and other items that health care providers rely on every day to protect themselves from the viruses shed by patients, largely through coughs and sneezes. In normal times, safety protocols would require these items be disposed of after one use. But just weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, supplies of protective gear at UCSF are already so low that doctors and nurses are wiping down and reusing almost everything except gloves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not a foolproof strategy at all; we all realize the risk we are taking,” Noble said. But as supplies dwindle, she increasingly finds herself asking the folks in charge of infection control at the hospital if they can make changes to protocols. “As days go by, one regulation after the other goes out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble is among the Bay Area physicians applauding the decision this week by seven Bay Area counties and multiple others across California to order residents to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806988/sheltering-in-place-what-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shelter in place\u003c/a> for the foreseeable future, directives that are upending life for millions of people and shuttering schools and businesses across the state. Without swift and dramatic changes to curb transmission of the virus, hospital officials say, it is just a matter of time before their health systems are overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My prediction is that we will get a wave of patients, but that it will be less than it would have been had we not put these shelter-in-place orders out there,\" Jahan Fahimi, the director of the emergency department at UCSF, told KQED. \"But it's still going to be challenging.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interviews with California physicians on the front lines of COVID-19 offer a sobering portrait of a health care system preparing for the worst of a pandemic that could be months from peaking. In the Bay Area, the battle is being waged hospital by hospital, with wide variations in resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tent where Noble tended to patients this week was set up to deal with a recent rise in people showing up with respiratory illness. Even without the coronavirus threat, UCSF’s emergency room is a busy one, and doctors frequently see patients in hallways and other spaces. But the current outbreak makes that close contact unsafe. So instead, everyone who comes to the hospital is being triaged. Most people with fever, cough or shortness of breath are diverted to the tent, which is heated and has negative air pressure to prevent the spread of infection. For now, the pace is manageable, but Noble fears what’s ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jahan Fahimi, the director of the emergency department at UCSF\"]'With the supply chain being disrupted, we are frantically trying to figure out how we're going to meet the needs of our workforce.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farther south, in Palo Alto, Stanford Medical Center was testing patients with respiratory problems in its parking garage. The private university hospital has more protective gear than the public one in San Francisco; a global scavenger hunt several weeks ago bolstered supplies, though Stanford, too, has adapted protocols to be more sparing with some items.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have an unlimited supply,” said Dr. Andra Blomkalns, professor and chair of the Stanford School of Medicine’s Department of Emergency Medicine. “But at least we’re not looking at our last box.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire country is short on protective gear, a result of both the surging demand for such equipment as the virus spreads and the implosion of supply chains from China, where much of the equipment is manufactured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're really trying to make sure that we use the right kind of PPE in the right scenarios and conserve the more critical PPE for what we expect to be kind of a long couple of months,\" Fahimi told KQED. \"And with the supply chain being disrupted, we are frantically trying to figure out how we're going to meet the needs of our workforce.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble believes some equipment will need to be made locally. “If the [federal] government doesn’t step in and force manufacturing of these products here now, we are going to run out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Empty supply closets affect everyone who needs care, including heart attack victims and people in need of emergency surgery, said Dr. Vivian Reyes, president of the California chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians and a practicing emergency physician in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know it’s really hard for us Americans because we’re never told no,” she said of the shortfall of supplies. “But we’re not in normal times right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And protective equipment isn’t the only thing in short supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until a few days ago, UCSF had to rely on the San Francisco Department of Public Health for coronavirus testing, and a shortage of test kits meant clinicians could test only the most critically ill. The situation improved March 9, when the university started running tests created in its own lab. First, there were 40 tests a day. By Tuesday, there were 60 to 80. But a new shortage looms: The hospital has just \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/as-coronavirus-testing-gears-up-specialized-swabs-running-out/\">500 testing swabs\u003c/a> left.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11807416\" label=\"Coronavirus Testing in California\" hero=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42027_011_KQED_SanFrancisco_Coronavirus_03132020_7054-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford pathologist Benjamin Pinsky built an in-house test that has been approved for use by the federal Food and Drug Administration. Since March 3, Stanford has used it to test more than 500 patients, 12% of whom had tested positive as of Tuesday. The university has been running tests for other hospitals as well, including UCSF. It’s a dramatic improvement from a few weeks ago, when Stanford relied on its county lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we had no supply issues, we are ready to sort of ramp up testing at UCSF and could probably serve all of our internal needs and probably reach out to our fellow hospitals in San Francisco in the Bay Area ... but we're faced with a shortage of some of these supplies,\" Fahimi told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns saw a sick patient in mid-February, before the hospital had its own test kits, who had symptoms of COVID-19 but didn’t qualify for testing under the narrow federal guidelines in place at the time. He went home, only to return to the hospital after his condition deteriorated. This time, he was tested and it came back positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, home to Stanford, 175 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and six have died. Late last week, the medical center’s emergency department saw the highest number of patients in one day in its history. Blomkalns doubts it’s because there are more cases in her area. “If you don’t test, you don’t have any cases,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns worries about staffing shortages as health care workers are inevitably exposed to the virus. As of Tuesday, one doctor in the Stanford ER had tested positive. At UCSF, six health care providers had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all Bay Area hospitals are seeing a flood of patients. In fact, some have fewer patients than usual, as they have canceled elective surgeries in anticipation of a COVID-19 surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doctors treating COVID-19 patients say nearly all who test positive have a cough. They complain of fatigue, body aches, headaches, runny noses and sore throats. While most people are well enough to recover at home, those who get critically ill tend to do so in their second week of symptoms, and can deteriorate very quickly, several doctors noted. “We are recommending that patients get intubated a little earlier than they might otherwise,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11806966\" label=\"Look Up Local Food Banks That Need Your Help\" hero=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42178_012_KQED_SanFranciscoMarinFoodBank_03182020_-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, officials are asking people who have mild cases of COVID-19 to treat their symptoms at home, as they would a cold or flu, and refrain from seeking care at hospitals.

Noble is a professor of emergency medicine and director of the UCSF Medical Center response to the novel coronavirus that has permeated California and reached into every U.S. state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bags were there to hold personal protective equipment (PPE) — the masks, face shields, gowns and other items that health care providers rely on every day to protect themselves from the viruses shed by patients, largely through coughs and sneezes. In normal times, safety protocols would require these items be disposed of after one use. But just weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, supplies of protective gear at UCSF are already so low that doctors and nurses are wiping down and reusing almost everything except gloves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not a foolproof strategy at all; we all realize the risk we are taking,” Noble said. But as supplies dwindle, she increasingly finds herself asking the folks in charge of infection control at the hospital if they can make changes to protocols. “As days go by, one regulation after the other goes out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble is among the Bay Area physicians applauding the decision this week by seven Bay Area counties and multiple others across California to order residents to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806988/sheltering-in-place-what-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shelter in place\u003c/a> for the foreseeable future, directives that are upending life for millions of people and shuttering schools and businesses across the state. Without swift and dramatic changes to curb transmission of the virus, hospital officials say, it is just a matter of time before their health systems are overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My prediction is that we will get a wave of patients, but that it will be less than it would have been had we not put these shelter-in-place orders out there,\" Jahan Fahimi, the director of the emergency department at UCSF, told KQED. \"But it's still going to be challenging.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interviews with California physicians on the front lines of COVID-19 offer a sobering portrait of a health care system preparing for the worst of a pandemic that could be months from peaking. In the Bay Area, the battle is being waged hospital by hospital, with wide variations in resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tent where Noble tended to patients this week was set up to deal with a recent rise in people showing up with respiratory illness. Even without the coronavirus threat, UCSF’s emergency room is a busy one, and doctors frequently see patients in hallways and other spaces. But the current outbreak makes that close contact unsafe. So instead, everyone who comes to the hospital is being triaged. Most people with fever, cough or shortness of breath are diverted to the tent, which is heated and has negative air pressure to prevent the spread of infection.

The situation improved March 9, when the university started running tests created in its own lab. First, there were 40 tests a day. By Tuesday, there were 60 to 80. But a new shortage looms: The hospital has just \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/as-coronavirus-testing-gears-up-specialized-swabs-running-out/\">500 testing swabs\u003c/a> left.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11807416","label":"Coronavirus Testing in California ","hero":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42027_011_KQED_SanFrancisco_Coronavirus_03132020_7054-qut-1020x680.jpg"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford pathologist Benjamin Pinsky built an in-house test that has been approved for use by the federal Food and Drug Administration.

It’s a dramatic improvement from a few weeks ago, when Stanford relied on its county lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we had no supply issues, we are ready to sort of ramp up testing at UCSF and could probably serve all of our internal needs and probably reach out to our fellow hospitals in San Francisco in the Bay Area ... but we're faced with a shortage of some of these supplies,\" Fahimi told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns saw a sick patient in mid-February, before the hospital had its own test kits, who had symptoms of COVID-19 but didn’t qualify for testing under the narrow federal guidelines in place at the time. He went home, only to return to the hospital after his condition deteriorated. This time, he was tested and it came back positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, home to Stanford, 175 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and six have died. Late last week, the medical center’s emergency department saw the highest number of patients in one day in its history. Blomkalns doubts it’s because there are more cases in her area. “If you don’t test, you don’t have any cases,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns worries about staffing shortages as health care workers are inevitably exposed to the virus.

They complain of fatigue, body aches, headaches, runny noses and sore throats. While most people are well enough to recover at home, those who get critically ill tend to do so in their second week of symptoms, and can deteriorate very quickly, several doctors noted. “We are recommending that patients get intubated a little earlier than they might otherwise,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11806966","label":"Look Up Local Food Banks That Need Your Help ","hero":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42178_012_KQED_SanFranciscoMarinFoodBank_03182020_-qut-1020x680.jpg"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, officials are asking people who have mild cases of COVID-19 to treat their symptoms at home, as they would a cold or flu, and refrain from seeking care at hospitals.

For children under age 12, caregivers fill out the survey. Young people ages 12-19 will complete their own questionnaire in addition to their caregivers’ questionnaire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questions will touch on 10 categories of adversity spanning the first 18 years of life: physical, emotional or sexual abuse; physical or emotional neglect; and experiences that could indicate household dysfunction, such as a parent who has a serious mental illness or addiction, having parents who are incarcerated or living in a home with domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=mindshift_54373 label='Does every moment matter?' hero=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2019/09/happy-childhood-photos-de61f9ac60f2b9d24a1196c86e0d47be30eebaea-1020x765.jpg\"]The screening will measure for experiences that could regularly trigger fear and anxiety, including homelessness, not having enough food or the right kinds of food, and growing up in a neighborhood marred by drugs and violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Long acknowledged some caregivers and children might be reluctant or unwilling to disclose sensitive information, particularly if they fear shame or repercussions. “We acknowledge it takes time to build trust,” she said. “But we want to encourage families to have hard conversations with their doctors and to understand how stressful events over the life of the child are impacting that child’s health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Physicians will review the responses and discuss them with caregivers during the visit. Doctors will have access to free online training on how to communicate with families and connect them to community resources. Physicians will be eligible for a $29 reimbursement for each Medi-Cal patient screened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The responses are considered confidential patient information and won’t be shared with state officials. But researchers hope that aggregated information will be studied to improve care for patients with high ACEs scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>2. Screenings Are Voluntary\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Doctors do not need to offer them, and patients and their caregivers do not have to participate. Doctors will need to complete online training before they can be paid for screening patients. The state will cover the costs of screening once a year for children and once in a lifetime for adults. But children are the main focus of the screening campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>3. What Happens After the Screening Is Less Clear\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Community clinics often have social workers or “navigators” available to connect families to aid like food stamps or counseling. Doctors in private practice, however, are less likely to have those resources, said Dr. Eric Ball, an Orange County pediatrician who served on a committee advising the surgeon general on the ACEs campaign. Ball said local chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics will work to educate doctors on how to help children who register high ACEs scores, because social services vary so much by county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors “are not going to get rich doing ACEs screenings, that’s not the point,” Ball said. “If we can pick up kids at higher risk for these issues down the road and mitigate it, that’s really exciting to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>4. Researchers Aren’t Yet Sure Which Interventions Will Best Help Kids With High ACEs Scores\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Long and her UCSF Benioff colleagues are \u003ca href=\"https://clinicaltrials.ucsf.edu/trial/NCT04182906\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">continuing to study\u003c/a> how well the ACEs screening works and what interventions might be most effective. It’s one thing to help hungry families sign up for food stamps and free school lunches. It’s less clear how to help a child whose parent is in prison. Researchers have identified protective factors that can help children better resist the effects of toxic stress, including nurturing relationships with trusted adults, such as grandparents or teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact of screening is also an intervention,” Long said. “Being able to sit in a room with a pediatrician is not going to make those hard experiences go away, but it creates a freedom to talk about some things that are solvable. That’s therapeutic in and of itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>5. Not Everyone Agrees That Widespread ACEs Screening Is a Good Idea\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Sociologist David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, is among those who caution that universal screening for ACEs is premature, given there is little consensus about the potential negative effects of screening or the best interventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"science_1938819,news_11724781,futureofyou_439851\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]“The good news is that we are focusing on these adversities that are clearly the source of so many downstream health and mental health problems,” Finkelhor said. “But the bad news is we’re moving way too fast, before we know how to best conduct this kind of screening and intervention, and we could get it wrong with pretty disastrous consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mostly, we don’t know what to do with somebody who has a high ACE score,” he said. “There are already long waits to get into family counseling or child mental health programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, a doctor might be legally required to report previous abuse to authorities, upending a family even if the child no longer is exposed to the abuser, Finkelhor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are tough questions,” Long of UCSF acknowledged. Still, she said, screening is important, because it encourages physicians to engage in difficult conversations they might not otherwise have and pushes clinics to create links to supportive services and resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is the next phase, and that is important,” Long said. “We’re doing this because we care about your child and want them to grow into healthy adults.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KHN\u003c/a> story first published on \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiahealthline.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Healthline\u003c/a>, a service of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Health Care Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a> (KHN) is a national health policy news service.

It’s one thing to help hungry families sign up for food stamps and free school lunches. It’s less clear how to help a child whose parent is in prison. Researchers have identified protective factors that can help children better resist the effects of toxic stress, including nurturing relationships with trusted adults, such as grandparents or teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact of screening is also an intervention,” Long said. “Being able to sit in a room with a pediatrician is not going to make those hard experiences go away, but it creates a freedom to talk about some things that are solvable.

The visa is supposed to allow companies to hire the highest-skilled foreign talent. But in reality, outsourcing companies like HCL scoop up the most H-1B visas for lower-level IT workers.

He works with servers, the computers that run company software and handle data. It’s part of a range of back-end IT work that keeps our modern computer-driven world running. But now, much of this IT infrastructure has been shipped overseas, says Ron Hira, a professor of public policy at Howard University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a silent destruction of really important innovation, high-wage, really the knowledge-based economy jobs that we’re supposed to be moving into,” Hira says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says what’s really scary is that we don’t know how many IT jobs America has lost. The government doesn’t keep track of it, he says. Hira has studied IT offshoring for over a decade, and he has been gathering numbers to try to get a picture of this job loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By looking at IT employment abroad in countries like India, and the numbers of workers American companies like IBM now employ overseas, Hira has come up with a rough estimate. He thinks as many as 1.5 million foreign workers could now be doing IT jobs for American companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘It’s huge in scale and scope, and it has long-term ramifications’ \u003ccite>Ron Hira, Howard University public policy professor \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s huge in scale and scope, and it has long-term ramifications in terms of innovation, but also in terms of spillover jobs and career ladders for folks,” Hira says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes in technology like cloud computing have contributed to IT job loss, but Hira says outsourcing has greatly accelerated the trend. And he says the main tool paving the way for outsourcing is the H-1B visa. Hira \u003ca href=\"http://www.epi.org/publication/congressional-testimony-the-impact-of-high-skilled-immigration-on-u-s-workers-4/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gave this testimony\u003c/a> in front of Congress about how the H-1B visa is used to outsource jobs and undercut U.S. workers. HCL is mentioned as a company that depends on the H-1B visa for business operations in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Controversy over this visa has been escalating in recent years. There have been numerous bipartisan attempts in Congress to \u003ca href=\"http://www.computerworld.com/article/3094126/it-careers/after-12-years-seeking-h-1b-reform-rep-pascrell-tries-again.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reform the visa\u003c/a>. They have all failed. Complaints about the visa range from the offshoring of U.S. jobs to how it can be used to drive down wages and create situations where \u003ca href=\"http://www.pri.org/stories/2013-03-07/h-1b-visas-leave-immigrant-workers-disadvantage-while-some-critics-fume\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">companies can abuse H-1B workers\u003c/a>. Companies like Southern California Edison have been criticized for effectively replacing U.S. workers with H-1B workers. The move led to a federal investigation, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/10/22/55178/feds-conclude-investigation-into-firm-that-provide/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">which did not end\u003c/a> in the workers’ favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This visa cropped up in the presidential race after Disney shipped out 250 of its IT jobs, in part to HCL, the same company UCSF is working with now. Donald Trump at times criticized Disney and the visa. He drew applause at debates by saying the H-1B program should be dismantled, and he championed a laid-off IT worker at Disney who endorsed him. But it is hard to say what he will do in office, since he flip-flopped on the issue several times when pressed about actual policy decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[jwplayer mediaid=”11219854″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is the back story on the H-1B. The visa is supposed to allow companies to hire the highest-skilled foreign talent. But in reality, outsourcing companies like HCL scoop up the most H-1B visas for lower-level IT workers. These H-1B workers are sent into U.S. companies to see how their IT systems operate, and then they work with large teams abroad, mostly in India, where labor is cheap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UCSF, eight of the 27 workers in the transition team that HCL sent in to learn the ropes at the school were on H-1B visas, according to UCSF’s Vice Chancellor of University Relations Barbara French.
