Millions of Americans braced for the week ahead with no school

for their children for many days to come, no clue how to effectively do their jobs without child care, and a growing sense of dread about how to stay safe and sane amid the relent-less spread of the coronavirus.

Are play dates for the kids OK? How do you stock up on supplies when supermarket shelves are bare? How do you pay the bills when your work hours have been cut? Is it safe to go to the gym? And how do you plan for the future with no idea what it holds?

“Today looks so different from yester-day, and you just don’t know what tomor-row is going to look like,” said Christie Bauer, a family photographer and mother of three school-age children in West Linn, Oregon.

Tens of millions of students nation-wide have been sent home from school

amid a wave of closings that include all of Ohio, Maryland, Oregon, Washington state, Florida and Illinois along with big-city districts like Los Angeles, San Fran-cisco and Washington, D.C. Some schools announced they will close for three weeks, others for up to six.

The disruptions came as government and hospital leaders took new measures to contain an outbreak that has sickened more than 150,000 people worldwide and

killed about 5,800, with thou-sands of new cases being con-firmed every day.

As the U.S. death toll climbed to 51 on Saturday and infections totaled more than 2,100, President Donald Trump expanded a ban on travel to the U.S. from Europe, adding Britain and Ireland to the list, and hospitals worked to expand bed capacity and staffing to keep from becom-ing overwhelmed as the case-load mounts.

“We have not reached our peak,” said Dr. Anthony

Fauci of the National Institutes of Health. “We will see more cases, and we will see more suffering and death.”

Many working parents are scrambling to find child care, even if they are being allowed to work from home. The child care needs are especially dire for the legions of nurses, hospital and health care workers across the country who need to be on the job to deal with the crisis.

Governors drew up emergency plans to find child care for front-line medical workers and first responders, equating it to a wartime effort.

“I would put this as a World War II-capacity daycare for our public health workers because we’re going to need every single body we can get,” said Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.

Parents desperate to get to work with schools closed have jumped on social media boards to seek child care or to exchange tips about available babysitters.

Seattle resident Marlena Blonsky said she wanted to help friends in need. The 33-year-old sustainability director at a Seattle logistics company has no chil-dren and has flexibility at work. She sent out a tweet Thursday that she was avail-able for child care for her working-parent friends, or to run errands for those who have health problems and don’t want to go out in public.

Almost immediately, she had a taker and devoted a few hours last Thursday and Friday to watching a friend’s 3-year-old daughter. The child’s mother is a doctor who has long hours these days at work.

“I feel like this is hitting so many people harder than me, and this is the least I can do,” she said.

SEATTLE, Washington (AP)

U.S. researchers gave the first shots in a first test of an exper-imental coronavirus vaccine

Monday, leading off a worldwide hunt for protection even as the pandemic surges.

With careful jabs in the arms of four healthy volunteers, scientists at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Research Insti-tute in Seattle began an anxiously awaited first-stage study of a potential COVID-19 vaccine developed in record time after the new virus exploded out of China and fanned out across the globe.

“We’re team coronavirus now,” Kaiser Permanente study leader Dr. Lisa Jackson said on the eve of the experiment. “Every-one wants to do what they can in this emergency.”

The Associated Press observed as the study’s first participant, an opera-tions manager at a small tech company, received the injection in an exam room.

“We all feel so helpless. This is an amazing opportunity for me to do some-thing,” Jennifer Haller, 43, of Seattle said

before getting vaccinated. Her two teenagers “think it’s cool” that she’s taking part in the study.

After the injection, she left the exam room with a big smile: “I’m feeling great.”

Monday’s milestone marked just the beginning of a series of studies in people needed to prove whether the shots are safe and could work. Even if the research goes well, a vaccine would not be available for widespread use for 12 to 18 months, said Dr. Anthony Fauci of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

This vaccine candidate, code-named mRNA-1273, was developed by the NIH and Massa-chusetts-based biotechnology company Moderna Inc. There’s no chance partici-pants could get infected because the shots do not contain the coronavirus itself.

It’s not the only potential vaccine in the pipeline. Dozens of research groups

around the world are racing to create a vaccine against COVID-19. Another can-didate, made by Inovio Pharmaceuticals, is expected to begin its own safety study next month in the U.S., China and South Korea.

The Seattle experiment got under-way days after the World Health Orga-

nization declared the new virus outbreak a pandemic because of its rapid global spread, which has infected more than 169,000 people and killed more than 6,500.

COVID-19 has upended the world’s social and economic fabric since China first identified the virus in January, with broad regions shuttering schools and businesses, restricting travel, can-celing entertainment and sporting events, and encouraging people to stay away from each

other.The Seattle research institute is part of

a government network that tests all kinds of vaccines and was chosen for the coro-navirus vaccine study before COVID-19 began spreading widely in Washington state.

When it comes to finances, one of the most important things to teach your

children is how to be financially aware. While teaching your children money management skills, it is important that they are able to successfully budget on their own. Money management tools for kids can be interactive, and fun. Below are some tips on how to make your whole family value financial wellness.

Allowances. Giving allowances is something that may not work for every family, but if you are able to work this expense into your budget, it’s something to consider. Giving your kids allowance will give your children the opportunity to learn money management skills, while developing good work habits. Make sure to think about the amount and how frequently you will be awarding an allowance. Once an allowance has been given, be sure to sit down with your kids and work on budgeting for things they would like to purchase.

Financial Games. Financial games are a fun and interactive way for your children to learn money management skills and basic calculations. There are countless free money management games available online. One place you can find money management games is through GreenPath, which is a financial wellness company that Gesa partners with. GreenPath offers visitors games for all ages, but specifically children. In one game you play a child who is working towards purchasing a large ticket item, but the only way to make money is by doing chores. During the duration of the game, certain jobs are needing items that can only be purchased. This game teaches kids about hard work and money

management, but in a fun way. The website can be found at www.greenpath.com.

Teach About Savings. Aside from receiving an allowance, your children may come across gifts of money when their birthday or the holiday season comes up. When this happens, the most important lesson to teach is how to save money. You can teach your children that saving is important and perhaps even pick out a larger item that their savings can be put towards (bike, clothes, etc.).

Utilize your Financial Institution. Be sure to talk with your financial institution about what products and services they have available for kids. Perhaps your financial institution offers an account for your children that could be linked to yours, or if they’re older, an account that is all theirs. We are lucky in the Tri-Cities area to have Gesa branches in 11 of our local high schools. If your kids are in that age range, suggest that they go check out their high school branch.

Make it Fun. When dealing with children, it is important to make things fun! Think of a cool way to store their money or track their savings. One idea is to have your children save and donate to an organization of their choice.

Making your children financially aware at a young age is an important and fun way to teach great life lessons. Think about these tips the next time your children ask about money and money management skills.

WASHINGTON (AP)

The Supreme Court on Wednes-day said it would allow the Trump administration to con-

tinue enforcing a policy that makes asy-lum-seekers wait in Mexico for U.S. court hearings, despite lower court rulings that the policy probably is illegal.

The justices’ order, over a dissenting vote by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, over-turns a lower court order that would have blocked the policy, at least for people arriving at the border crossings in Arizona and California. The lower court order was to have taken effect on Thursday. Instead, the “Remain in Mexico” policy will remain in force while a lawsuit challeng-ing it plays out in the courts, probably at least through the end of President Donald Trump’s term in January.

The next step for the administration is to file a formal appeal with the Supreme Court. But the justices may not even con-sider the appeal until the fall and, if the case is granted full review, arguments would not be held until early 2021.

The high court action is the latest instance of the justices siding with the administration to allow Trump’s immigration policies to continue after lower courts had moved to halt them. Other cases include the travel ban on visitors from some largely Muslim countries, con-struction of the border wall, and the “wealth test” for people seeking green cards.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has ruled that the asylum policy, known officially as “Migrant Pro-tection Protocols,” prob-ably is illegal under U.S. law to prevent sending people to countries where their lives or freedom would be threatened because of their race, religion, nationality, political beliefs or membership in a par-ticular social group.

About 60,000 asylum-seekers have been returned to Mexico to wait for their cases to wind through clogged U.S. immi-gration courts since the policy was intro-duced in January 2019 in San Diego and later expanded across the border.

“The Court of Appeals unequivocally

declared this policy to be illegal. The Supreme Court should as well,’’ said Judy Rabinovitz, an Ameri-can Civil Liberties Union lawyer who represents asylum-seekers and immi-grant advocacy groups in the case. “Asylum-seek-ers face grave danger and irreversible harm every day this depraved policy remains in effect.”

The Justice Depart-ment said the high court’s order restores “the govern-ment’s ability to manage the Southwest border and to work cooperatively with the Mexican government to address illegal immigra-

tion.”Human Rights First, an advocacy

group that opposes the policy, said it found more than 1,000 public reports of kidnappings, torture, rape and assaults of asylum-seekers returned to Mexico.

SALEM, Oregon (AP)

In an end run around Republi-can legislators, Oregon’s Demo-cratic governor ordered the state

on Tuesday to lower greenhouse gas emis-sions, directing a state agency to set and enforce caps on pollution from industry and transportation fuels.

Gov. Kate Brown’s sweeping executive order, one of the boldest in the nation, aims to reduce carbon emissions to at least 45% below 1990 levels by 2035 and 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. The order more than doubles the goal of a clean fuels program, marking the most ambitious target in the country, Brown said.

“I’ve heard it loud and clear from our young people in Oregon: Climate action is crucial and urgent,” Brown said, sur-rounded by students. “If we adults don’t take action right away, it is the next gen-eration that will pay the price.”

Republicans lawmakers, a minority in the Legislature, staged a walkout during this year’s short session to sabotage a bill that aimed for many of the same climate

goals. The boycott caused the session to end two days early on Friday, with only three bills passed and more than 100 dying, including the climate measure.

Unlike that measure, Brown’s order does not set up an economy-wide cap-and-trade system in which polluters would be able to buy credits when they exceed emissions limits. That system would have generated money to help pay for projects and initiatives aimed at easing the transition to a low-carbon economy.

“What I don’t have the ability to do as the executive is create a carbon market,” Brown told reporters. However, she said the Legislature could move forward on that in the future.

Senate Republican leader Herman Baertschiger Jr. predicted Brown’s executive action would wind up in court.

“I think all this is going to do is initi-ate a whole bunch of lawsuits,” he said.

Brown’s legal team said it is confi-dent they would prevail in any litiga-tion.

HOUSTON, Texas (AP)

A 19-year-old pregnant woman from Guatemala died this week from injuries suffered when

she fell trying to climb the U.S. border wall near El Paso, Texas, U.S. and Guate-malan authorities said Thursday.

Guatemala identified the woman as Mirian Stephany Girón Luna. Medical personnel tried to deliver her baby, but were unsuccessful, both governments said. The U.S. said Girón was eight months pregnant, while Guatemalan authorities said she was at seven months.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection blamed Girón’s death on human smug-glers who encouraged her to try to climb the wall. In a statement, Gloria Chavez, the chief for the Border Patrol’s El Paso sector, said the authorities would work with Mexico “to find those responsible for placing these lives in danger.”

CBP Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan told reporters that Girón and her partner were taken to the border by smugglers and left there in the darkness.

They were attempting to climb when she fell. Border Patrol agents reached her and called medical authorities, who took her to the hospital but “tragically, the mother and the child died from their injuries from the fall,” he said.

According to Guatemalan authorities, Girón fell more than 19 feet (6 meters) on Saturday. Her partner, who is believed to have been the baby’s father, even-tually found Border Patrol agents who called for an ambulance.

Girón suffered a cerebral hem-orrhage, a pelvis fracture, and liver and kidney lacerations. Guatemala says “surgical inter-ventions” could not save her life and she died Tuesday afternoon.

Girón is from Guatemala’s San Marcos department, near the country’s border with Mexico. Her partner remains in Border Patrol detention, according to Guatemalan officials.

POLITICS

WASHINGTON (AP)

Podiums get sanitized before the candidate steps up to speak. Fist or elbow bumps take the place of

handshakes, and kissing babies is out of the question. Rallies are canceled, leaving can-didates speaking to a handful of journalists and staffers instead of cheering crowds of thousands.

This is campaigning in the age of the coro-navirus, when fears of the new pandemic’s rapid spread are upending Joe Biden’s and Bernie Sanders’ campaigns. The urgency of the issue comes at a pivotal time in the Democratic presidential primary, as Biden is beginning to pull ahead as a front-runner for the nomination and as Sanders is scrambling to catch up.

“If coronavirus has the lasting impact that we all fear it will, it will also dramati-cally reshape the way a presidential cam-paign unfolds,” said Jesse Ferguson, a veteran Democratic strategist and former spokes-man for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

“Politics is fundamentally about leaders interacting with the people who they repre-sent, and if a pandemic forecloses that ability, it changes everything — how you campaign, how you knock doors, how you do events and how you do the retail part of politics.”

While coronavirus concerns have been building as new cases crop up daily and as Democrats criticize President Donald Trump for what they consider a lackluster response, Tuesday marked the first moment the issue affected the campaigns in a substantive way. Both Biden and Sanders decided to cancel planned election-night rallies in Ohio at the advice of local health officials.

And so Biden — who won at least four of the six states voting Tuesday — delivered a victory speech to a crowd almost entirely composed of media and dozens of staffers who had wandered over from headquarters. It was hardly the big celebration Biden had hoped for on one of the biggest nights of his 2020 campaign.

It’s not the first time a major national crisis has upended the contours of a presi-dential race. During the 2008 campaign, as the economy was in free fall, Republican nominee John McCain returned to Washing-ton to work on the congressional response to the crisis in an effort to revive his flagging campaign.

From handshakes to kissing babies, virus upends campaigning

Sabiduría para las decisiones

MIAMI, Florida (AP)

Cuando José Ramón Zambrano cruzó el Río Grande con su esposa embarazada para pedir

asilo en Estados Unidos, buscaba una nueva vida alejada de la certeza de un encarcela-miento en Venezuela, donde ambos naci-eron y su madre es una conocida opositora del gobierno.

En cambio, pasó los primeros seis meses encerrado en un centro de detención de inmigrantes en Texas, separado de su bebé recién nacido.

“Cruzar la frontera en busca de protec-ción no es un crimen”, dijo Zambrano desde un centro de detención cerca de Houston, en el estado de Texas. “Lo hacemos porque estamos en necesidad”.

Zambrano es uno de los cientos de vene-zolanos que han escapado del régimen socialista de Nicolás Maduro y se han pre-sentado cada vez más en la frontera de México con Estados Unidos en los últimos meses, para toparse con la dura política de inmigración del gobierno de Donald Trump.

A diferencia de las oleadas de migrantes de México y América Central, los venezo-

lanos que arriban a la frontera ponen a la administración de Trump en una situación incómoda.

Muchos de ellos han permanecido detenidos durante períodos prolongados o han sido devueltos a México para esperar en peligrosas poblaciones fronterizas hasta que sus casos de inmigración sean resueltos en Estados Unidos, a pesar de que el gobierno de Trump asevera que apoya a los venezola-nos que huyen por las condiciones brutales que enfrentan en su país.

Trump ha liderado una campaña para sacar del poder a Maduro y elogió al líder opositor Juan Guaidó como un “hombre muy valiente que lleva consigo las esper-anzas, sueños y aspiraciones de todos los venezolanos” en su discurso del Estado de la Unión en el que estuvo como invitado espe-cial. No obstante, algunos críticos consid-eran que ha hecho muy poco para proteger a los venezolanos de las duras políticas de inmigración implementadas por su admin-istración.

Así, por ejemplo, ha rechazado llamados de demócratas e incluso de aliados repub-licanos como el senador de la Florida, Marco Rubio, para concederle protecciones

humanitarias a los venezolanos que escapan de la crisis política y económica de su país.

“Los venezolanos vienen a Estados Unidos en busca de seguridad, y aunque muchos la encuentran, otros se tropiezan con una pes-adilla y con una detención”, expresó Julio Henriquez, un abogado de inmigración venezolano que desde Boston atiende casos de asilos de compatriotas. “Es una narrativa muy diferente que la del apoyo de Trump a las víctimas de Maduro”.

Cerca de 858 venezolanos permanecen detenidos en todo el país debido a que el gobierno del presidente Donald Trump no tiene forma de entregarlos al gobierno de

Maduro, al que ha impuesto innumerables sanciones y ya no reconoce. Más de 2,000 han sido devueltos a México, donde esperan sus audiencias de inmigración con funcio-narios estadounidenses como parte de la política de Trump.

La cantidad de venezolanos que llegan a Estados Unidos ha aumentado como parte de un éxodo masivo que ha llevado a cerca de cinco millones de personas a huir de la nación petrolera, la mayoría a países lati-noamericanos vecinos. Aunque gran parte escapa del caos económico, y no de perse-cución política, Naciones Unidas ha instado a los países a concederles el estatus de refu-giados.

En el último año, el 30% de las 82,807 solicitudes de asilo efectuadas por personas que no estaban en proceso de deportación correspondieron a venezolanos. Asimismo, los arrestos de venezolanos que ingresa-ron ilegalmente a través de la frontera con México se incrementaron a 2,202 en el año fiscal de 2019, que terminó el 30 de septiem-bre, por encima de los 62 registrados en los 12 meses anteriores, de acuerdo con el Ser-vicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés).

INMIGRACIÓNHuyendo de Maduro, los venezolanos encuentran pesadilla en las cárceles de Trump

When Jose Ramon Zam-brano and his pregnant wife crossed the Rio Grande

to apply for asylum in the U.S., they were looking for a fresh start far away from a certain arrest in his native Venezuela, where his mother is a prominent govern-ment opponent.

Instead, he spent six months locked up in Texas, separated from a newborn son.

“Crossing the border in search of pro-tection isn’t a crime,” Zambrano said from a detention center near Houston. “We do it because we need to.”

Zambrano is one of hundreds of Venezu-elans fleeing the socialist regime of Nicolás Maduro and showing up at the U.S.-Mexico border in larger numbers in recent months, only to encounter President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration policies.

But unlike even larger waves of migrants from Mexico and Central America, the Venezuelans at the border have put the

Trump administration in a tight spot.Most of them have been jailed for

extended periods or sent back to Mexico to languish in dangerous border towns while awaiting their immigration cases in the U.S., despite proclamations from the Trump administration that it sup-ports people escaping brutal conditions under Maduro.

While Trump has been leading the campaign to oust Maduro — prais-ing opposition leader Juan Guaidó as a “very brave man who carries with him the hopes, dreams and aspirations of all Venezuelans” as his guest at the State of the Union address — critics say he’s done little to shield Venezuelans from his immi-gration policies.

Specifically, he’s rejected calls by Demo-crats and even some Republican allies like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to grant humani-tarian protections to those escaping politi-cal and economic turmoil.

“Venezuelans come to the US seeking security, and although many find it, others

encounter a new nightmare and are met with detention,” said Julio Henriquez, a Boston-based immigration lawyer from Venezuela who handles asylum cases for his compatriots. “It’s a very different narrative than the one about Trump’s support for the victims of Maduro.”

Nationwide some 850 Venezuelans remain behind bars, held in detention centers as the Trump administration has no way of handing them over to the heav-

ily-sanctioned socialist government of Maduro, which it no longer recog-nizes. More than 2,000 were returned across the border as part of the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” program.

The number of Venezuelans enter-ing the U.S. is rising as part of a mass wave that has seen almost 5 million leave the oil rich-nation, the bulk to neighboring Latin American coun-tries. Although many are fleeing eco-nomic chaos, not political persecu-tion, the United Nations has urged countries to grant them refugee status.

In the past year, Venezuelans have made up 30% of all 82,807 asylum claims lodged by people who were not in deportation pro-ceedings. Arrests of Venezuelans for enter-ing the country illegally on the Mexican border spiked to 2,202 during the 2019 fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, up from 62 during the previous 12-month period, according to Customs and Border Protec-tion.
