His appeal was aimed at
trained medical providers
who may be just short of
qualifying for their licenses
or perhaps have changed
careers or recently retired.
The governor is hoping
for a 37,000-person corps.
And within the first 24 hours
there were 25,000 applica-
tions.
“I’m overwhelmed,” he
told reporters, praising the
“remarkable spirit [of]
people who have stepped
up.... That was extraordi-
nary.... I’m inspired.”
Within 72 hours, 75,
people had applied.
Great! But is the state
government capable of
swiftly vetting that many
people to make sure they’re
truly qualified to treat virus
patients? How many really
can be counted on to help
control the surge when it
strikes in a few weeks or
even days?
I’m skeptical, having
watched state government
move at a snail’s pace over
the years, regardless of
who’s governor. Newsom
will need to be hands-on and
insistent.
“What’s the alternative?”
asks state Sen. Richard Pan
(D-Sacramento), a pediat-
rician. “If [recruits] need a
little brushing up, they can
learn on the job.
“In a war when you’re out
of reserves, you’re really in
trouble. You tend to lose the
battle.”
Assemblyman Jim Wood
(D-Healdsburg) is a dentist
who has volunteered in
several disasters — includ-
ing California wildfires —
identifying bodies through
dental records. He’s worried
that Newsom’s Health
Corps will ship recruits out
of their rural hometowns
into big cities, leaving their
own isolated counties
strapped.
“Are there going to be
resources for rural regions
or is it all going to be sucked
into large urban areas?”
Wood asks. “One of my
counties, Mendocino, has
one public health director
and one public health nurse.
And it’s two hours from one
end of the county to the
other. What happens when
rural and urban counties
have outbreaks at the same
time?”
Rural patients lose.
One irresponsible state
move on March 30 was to
flash the OK sign for over-
crowded hospitals to send
virus-infected patients to
nursing homes — called
“skilled nursing facilities.”
There are more than 1,000 of
them in California, filled
with fragile people consid-
ered the most vulnerable to
the coronavirus becausethey’re mainly elderly with
medical ailments.
Nursing homes have
been fighting their own
battle against the pandemic
and largely losing.
But the state Depart-
ment of Public Health is-
sued an order that skilled
nursing facilities “shall not
refuse to admit or readmit a
resident based on their
status as a suspected or
confirmed COVID-19 case.”
Hello! “Nursing home”
means “home.” I can’t imag-
ine a state public health
official allowing a virus-
infected stranger to bed
down in his or her home.
Outraged nursing home
advocates shouted that the
state was prescribing death
sentences for residents.
The state public health
department backed down a
bit on Thursday, saying that
nursing homes could refuse
infected patients if the
facilities weren’t stocked
with necessary personal
protective equipment such
as masks and gloves. And, in
any case, the patient trans-
fers must be coordinated
with local health depart-
ments.
Nursing home advocates
weren’t satisfied. And for
Newsom to escape an angry
mob of seniors and theirgrown children, he’ll need to
make sure that no virus-
infected patients are shoved
into already disease-
stricken nursing homes.
Meanwhile, testing for
the coronavirus has been a
bust in California and most
everywhere in the country.
Results often take agonizing
days to show up. As of
Thursday, there was a back-
log of 59,000 unprocessed
tests, the governor said.
But on Saturday, New-
som reported some hopeful
news. The backlog was
down to 13,000 out of nearly
127,000 tests.
Testing “has been chal-
lenging ... and I own that,”
the governor said. “I have a
responsibility ... to do better
and do more testing.”
Most important, New-
som announced that Stan-
ford University was about to
secure federal approval for a
test that could determine
whether someone had de-
veloped protective antibod-
ies — immunity — that
could fight off the co-
ronavirus.
Presumably an immune
person could escape house
arrest and return to work.
Newsom and other polit-
ical leaders deserve credit
for trying. Now they need to

those who are required to be
present in court.”
During preliminary hear-
ings, prosecutors must show
there is sufficient evidence
to believe a crime has been
committed. Defense lawyers
say defendants must be able
to see the witnesses testify-
ing against them and confer
with counsel.
Another area of deep con-
cern is California’s prisons,
where coronavirus cases are
rising.
A federal court panel has
denied an emergency mo-
tion to force California pris-
on officials to move thou-
sands of inmates out of
harm’s way.
“We are living in unprece-
dented times. The spread of
COVID-19 is a global crisis, a
crisis that is heightened in
the most vulnerable groups
among us,” the 13-page rul-
ing begins. But in the end,
the deciding judges wrote,
the decision on whether to
require mass prison releases
and other measures is not
theirs to make.
The number of prison in-
fections grew in the two days
since the judges held a hear-
ing on the emergency mo-
tion. By Saturday, 60 people
in the prisons — 47 workers
and 13 inmates — were diag-
nosed with COVID-19.
The California Depart-
ment of Corrections and Re-
habilitation said eight in-
mates are ill at the state pris-
on in Lancaster, four pris-
oners are infected at the
California Institution for
Men in Chino, and one at
North Kern State Prison.
The request by prisoners’attorneys for mass releases
is “understandable,” and in-
mates have an 8th Amend-
ment right to be protected
from disease, the ruling
states. But the three judges
on the special panel ruled
that dealing with a pan-
demic is beyond its author-
ity.
The three-judge court
was created in 2007 to ad-
dress chronic prison over-
crowding, and its powers in
2009 were affirmed by the
U.S. Supreme Court. The
judges Saturday said the
question of protecting pris-
oners from COVID-19 be-
longs before a single court,
such as one overseeing in-
mate medical care.
“We take no satisfaction
in turning away Plaintiffs’
motion without reaching the
important question of
whether Defendants have
implemented constitution-
ally adequate measures to
protect the inmates of Cali-
fornia’s prisons from the se-
rious threat posed by this
unparalleled pandemic,” the
ruling stated.
Inmate lawyers said they
plan to refile the motion be-
fore a single court.
The decision by the
three-judge court also laid
out expectations that the
state prison system needs to
do more.
“It is likely that only
through significant effort
will California’s prisons be
able to minimize the spread
of COVID-19,” judges wrote.
“It’s a clear message to
the state,” said Michael
Bien, one of the lead attor-
neys for inmates in the fed-
eral civil rights case.Judges could
