Watch Out for Scammers Pushing Coronavirus ‘Magic Cures’

By Desert Star Staff Fears about the new coronavirus are creating opportunities for scammers, fraud experts warn.

AARP Montana State President Alex Ward says fraudsters play on fear and other emotions to steal money.

He says it’s important to be

suspicious of anyone asking for money right now, noting it will be widespread news if a vaccine for the COVID-19 virus is ready.

“They’re going to tell you that there’s this magic cure, and that they can get it for you for a few bucks,” he states.

“And at this point, CDC and the World Health Organization

both say there are no cures.”

This week, the a Federal Trade Commission has targeted seven companies with warning letters. The companies allegedly are selling products they claim can treat or prevent coronavirus infections.

Ward encourages people to check the CDC and WHO

websites regularly for the latest news on the virus.

He also says folks can research charities soliciting donations at websites such as charitynavigator.org or give.org.

And he advises people not to click on links in emails that are asking for money.

Ward notes that disasters are boom times for scammers.

“Whenever there’s a disaster of any kind, for the

first week, it’s usually cons that collect more money for relief than anybody else, because they just have to change their pitch,” he points out.

Ward says anyone who suspects fraudulent activity can report it to the Federal Trade Commission website.

AARP also has a Fraud Watch Network that takes complaints and tracks the latest scam activity.

Interesting Things You May Not Know About the Peace Corps

By Desert Star Staff A lot has changed about the world since the Peace Corps was founded nearly six decades ago, but its mission remains the same: to promote world peace and friendship between Americans and people around the world. Established 59 years ago, the agency and former volunteers nationwide recently celebrated its anniversary.

The agency says that for those looking to positively impact lives in a meaningful way, volunteering can be an exciting and challenging adventure

that opens new doors.

“Serving with this agency is an opportunity for Americans to develop the skills they need in a global world,” says Peace Corps director, Jody K. Olsen.

Here are five interesting facts you may not know about serving in the Peace Corps: • The majority of volunteers serve for two years following three months of incountry training. They live and work alongside the people they serve, collaborating with local governments, schools, small businesses and entrepreneurs Continues on Page 3

Trump explains travel ban without consulting EU

By Desert Star Staff US President Donald Trump says he imposed the sweeping travel ban on EU countries without consulting them because he “had to move fast,” adding that he exempted the UK because it was doing a “good job.”

The president explained he did not have time to consult with EU countries before imposing the 30-day travel ban announced on Wednesday night after the body condemned the unexpected decision on Thursday.

Trump excluded the UK from the broad restrictions because London was doing a “good job” combating the coronavirus epidemic, he told reporters.

The UK has counted 590 cases of the virus so far, with 10 deaths - hardly numbers to boast about, but less dire than the situation in Italy or Germany.

Trump reprised his boast about taking the “boldest step of all” by closing borders with China before noting

Europe “has some hot spots that are really bad.” He mentioned Germany, France, and Italy before concluding on an optimistic note: “we think we’ll reestablish pretty quickly once this ends.”

Responding to a reporter’s question on why he hadn’t consulted individual European countries about the travel ban, Trump said, “when they raise taxes on us, they don’t consult us, and I think that’s probably one and the same.”

After the sudden announcement roiled markets on Thursday, Trump clarified that he might shorten or lengthen the 30-day timeframe of the ban, set to take effect on Friday.

He expressed hope that travel between the US and Europe, as well as the US and China, could be restored “very quickly.” The president also opined on the Tokyo Olympics, suggesting they be postponed for a year because he couldn’t imagine holding them without spectators.

European officials

condemned the US decision to impose a ban “unilaterally and without consultation.”European Council and European Commission Presidents Charles Michel and Ursula von der Leyen insisted the EU was “taking strong action to limit the spread of the virus.”

The EU has mostly left member states to fend for themselves concerning decisive response to the epidemic. EU leaders in a conference call on Tuesday merely agreed to

prevent shortages of medical equipment and promote vaccine development, as well as creating a fund to offset the economic impact of the epidemic. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has suggested 60 to 70 percent of the population will be infected but has not made any moves toward imposing travel restrictions or closing borders. France’s Emmanuel Macron has criticized Austria and Slovakia for closing

their own boundaries with coronavirus-stricken Italy.

Still, French officials have hinted they plan to shift to a “Phase 3” response - the highest level of government action - soon. Italy, the hardest-hit of all EU countries, has imposed a nationwide lockdown, shuttering shops and restaurants and advising all residents to stay home and avoid travel for the rest of the month as the death toll jumped to 631 on Wednesday.

Coronavirus will fade away by June if countries take urgent action

By Desert Star Staff The deadly outbreak may be over by the start of summer, provided that all countries mobilize themselves against the

pandemic, said Chinese government adviser in charge of tackling the coronavirus.

Zhong Nanshan, a Chinese coronavirus adviser and the epidemiologist

who discovered Severe Acute respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, made the prediction while speaking to journalists on Thursday.

He noted, however, that

the breakthrough is heavily dependent on how the World Health Organization’s (WHO) members are dealing with the crisis.

Some countries still don’t take the situation very seriously and fail to aggressively contain the Covid-19, Zhong said. In this case, the epidemic might be prolonged even despite the summer heat that makes viral stains relatively inactive, the doctor warned.

His remarks come shortly after China’s National Health Commission (NHC) reported a decline in new Covid-19 cases across the mainland. “Broadly speaking, the peak of the epidemic has passed for China,” said Mi Feng, a spokesman

One of 19 States That Still Allows Spanking in Schools

By Desert Star Staff FRANKFORT, Ky. -- State lawmakers are considering a bill that would ban spanking in schools. Kentucky is one of 19 states that continue to allow corporal punishment.

Glasgow family court judge Mica Wood Pence is responsible for placing children in foster care.

She said when children have experienced physical violence in the home, hitting or spanking in school can do serious damage to a child’s well-being.

“In our field, one of the recent focuses has really become trauma, and how

trauma affects the brain, and how we need to deal with and treat children that have experienced traumatic events,” Pence said.

House Bill 22 is cosponsored by 17 legislators of all political stripes. According to data from the Kentucky Department for Education, in 2018 there were more than 280 reported incidents involving corporal punishment in Kentucky schools.

Dr. Terry Brooks, executive director at Kentucky Youth Advocates, said House Bill 22, like the School Safety and Resiliency Act passed in 2019, is part of a broader

for the National Health Commission. “The increase of new cases is falling.”

As of Wednesday, the NHC recorded 15 new cases, about half as many as Tuesday’s figure.

China has been leading a swift response to the disease, locking down whole provinces, canceling public events, and even postponing key sessions of parliament.

To contain Covid-19, Beijing dispatched around 42,000 medics who flocked to Hubei province – the epicenter of the epidemic – from all across the country. Academics, leading infectionists, and intensive-care specialists were all called in.

COVID-19 Major Threat to Some People with Disabilities

for people with disabilities say the new coronavirus can be especially dangerous to the communities they serve.

People with disabilities such as lupus or HIV/AIDS have compromised immune systems.

Some medications may lower resistance to infections, and

the incidence of lung disease, heart disease, diabetes and cancer increases with age.

Experts say age itself makes people more vulnerable to the virus.

Susan Dooha executive director of the Center for Independence of the Disabled

New York (CIDNY), points out that people with disabilities also tend to be lower-income.

“We’re worried that they don’t have additional resources to stockpile medication, food, or to get extra cleaning supplies,” she states.

Dooha says New York City residents who need extra help because of the coronavirus threat can contact CIDNY at 212-674-2300 or online at CIDNY.org.

Dooha says her organization is working hard to keep up with the latest official information on precautions and available assistance as the number of New Yorkers known to be infected continues to grow.

“We are in touch with state and city authorities to make sure that we’re aware of their guidance, and so we can be raising these concerns about the need for additional resources,” she states.

Dooha adds many of the

same concerns affect people with disabilities whether they’re living independently or in residential care facilities.

She notes that CIDNY is visiting people the organization serves who live in nursing homes, where added precautions that have been put in place are very evident.

“There are nursing homes with quarantine floors, with people in isolation,” she points out. “Some facilities are not receiving visitors.

Like us, they are exercising every bit of caution.”

Dooha says, like the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy or 9/11, people living with disabilities during a public health crisis require extra vigilance to ensure their needs are being met.

Coronavirus in Illinois: “Prisoners are People, Too”

By Desert Star Staff SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- With more than two dozen confirmed cases of the new coronavirus in Illinois, a corrections oversight organization wants to ensure the health of people in prison isn’t forgotten.

Jennifer Vollen-Katz, executive director of the John Howard Association, points out that staff, vendors and visitors are among the many people who are in and out of correctional facilities on a daily basis. She contends the health and welfare of those who are incarcerated must be considered and protected.

“The people who are in our prisons are just that, people,” she stresses. “And they shouldn’t be treated any differently as patients than anybody else.

“And we just want to make sure that that subset of our population is a group that people are looking out for and thinking about, as precautionary measures are taken.”

In a statement, the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) said it is modifying its current plans to ensure it’s prepared for a potential COVID-19 outbreak -- and people who may have been

exposed to the virus or are experiencing symptoms are not allowed to visit a prison facility.

People in the Cook County Jail have been screened for the new coronavirus since the end of January, and jail officials say they’ve enhanced disinfecting and cleaning.

IDOC also says it is screening visitors for possible signs of exposure.

Vollen-Katz says the department needs to make its coronavirus protocols public to alleviate any confusion.

“If it becomes necessary to lock down a facility because there has been spread of

disease and contagion is a concern, then making sure that information is public -- so that people don’t travel great distances to visit a loved one, only to be turned away,” she states.

Last month, correctional centers in East St. Louis and Robinson were put on lockdown after dozens of people incarcerated there had flu-like symptoms.

In 2009, hundreds in custody at U.S. prisons were infected during the swine flu pandemic, which claimed more than 12,000 lives across the country.

to create sustainable, community-based projects that address local development priorities in the agriculture, community development, education, environment, health and youth development sectors.

Volunteers are free to choose where they apply to serve, and many choose to serve where their skills are needed most.

• The Peace Corps was founded by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. To-date, more than 240,000 Americans have served in 142 host countries all across the world, including in Central and South America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Asia and the Pacific Islands. Volunteers are currently serving in over 60 countries.

• Volunteers receive housing and a stipend that allows them to live similarly to

the people in their community.

Upon completion of service, returnees can access career, educational and other exclusive benefits.

• Volunteers return home as global citizens with unique cross-cultural perspectives, as well as leadership, language, teaching and community development skills that provide a competitive edge in today’s global economy.

“The domestic dividend of Peace Corps service cannot be overstated,” says Olsen.

“Across the U.S., communities continue to experience the benefits of volunteers returning home with new skills and perspectives.”

To that end, volunteers come from all over the U.S., and according to its 2019 rankings, D.C. produced the largest number of volunteers per capita last year, with California producing the March 13, 2020

largest volume of volunteers.

• Peace Corps service can be the first step toward a career or the continuation of a life’s work. While the average age volunteer is 26, 3.2 percent of volunteers are over the age of 50. There are even positions to which couples can apply to together. In addition to the standard volunteer program, specialized, high-impact, shortterm assignments lasting three to 12 months exist for seasoned

experts to use their skills to help communities abroad.

To connect with a recruiter and find out more about openings, visit PeaceCorps.gov.

Volunteering abroad can be a life-changing journey, whether you are looking for an opportunity to immerse yourself in a different culture or tackle some of the most pressing issues facing our world today. StatePoint

Whether you are just beginning to take a stronger safety-first approach or looking to upgrade existing home safety equipment, keep these tips in mind as you spruce up your home for the season.

Don’t Just Check Batteries, Check the Alarm: It’s a good idea to review your safety equipment and ensure everything is in good working order at least a couple times each year. For example, every type of smoke alarm must be completely replaced every 10 years whether it’s hardwired into your home or operates on a battery. New smoke alarms commonly come with built-in 10-year batteries, meaning no battery changes, but it’s a good idea to test the units regularly.

In fact, most manufacturers recommend weekly. You can also use this time to double-check the gauge on your fire extinguishers, replace batteries in flashlights, test security systems and replenish first-aid kits.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Report: Medicare for All Would Add Jobs, Boost Economy

By Desert Star Staff CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- New research from the Economic Policy Institute shows that switching to a single-payer health system would boost the overall economy, make it easier for workers to switch jobs or start businesses and create a net surplus of new jobs.

Josh Bivens, research director at the institute, said wages would likely go up under a Medicare for all system because owners could elect to give some of the money that would have otherwise gone to insurance companies to workers instead.

“And so you’ve got about $700 billion today that is employee compensation that comes in the form of employers paying for health insurance premiums,” Bivens said. “You take that off their back, it’s

the potential for employers to instead pay higher wages.”

Besides contending Medicare for all would mean higher taxes, some critics recently have sounded the alarm about potential job loss, pointing to research projecting that 1.8 million insurancerelated administrative and bill-processing jobs would disappear once private health insurance is no longer needed.

Bivens said he agrees those workers would need new jobs, and he also believes policy makers should help workers transition into other sectors. But he said focusing on those specific job losses misses the bigger picture.

“But it’s only one angle of the various effects that something like Medicare for all would have on the job market,” he said. “And so

looking at that number and acting like it’s the net job effect, I think, is really misleading.”

Bivens contended a singlepayer system would create thousands of new jobs, in part by helping families that can’t afford long-term care.

Currently, many people stay

at home to provide unpaid care for sick and elderly family members and neighbors.

“And there are estimates that the amount of unpaid care done is in the billions of hours,” he said. “And if there’s a public program that can pay for more professionalized

care to happen, I think you’d see a lot of job creation in the long-term care sector.”

The report projects switching to a singlepayer system would create demand for 2.3 million fulltime health care workers.

Pandemic Highlights Lack of Paid Sick Leave

By Desert Star Staff SANTA FE, N.M. -New Mexico announced its first presumptive positive COVID-19 infections on Wednesday, the first confirmed cases in the state.

But as the virus spreads, many Americans with symptoms may not stay home from work because they don’t have paid sick leave.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that anyone who suspects a COVID-19 infection self-isolate.

But 30 million, or one in four, U.S. workers aren’t paid for sick days, and even risk losing jobs if they miss work.

Ellen Bravo, executive director of the group Family Values at Work, says many are low-wage service employees.

“The people who drive our kids’ school buses and care for our elderly relatives, and handle our food and our groceries and our things we buy at retail stores -- when they don’t have

paid sick days, it’s a disaster for all of us,” she states.

The U.S. is one of the only wealthier countries with no guaranteed sick pay for workers, according to the World Policy Center.

But some companies, including Olive Garden, Uber, Trader Joe’s and REI, have announced revised policies to offer paid sick leave in response to COVID-19.

The health crisis has also renewed an effort in Congress by Democrats to pass a new version of a sick leave bill stalled since 2004 -- legislation supported by Family Values at Work.

Bravo says some Americans are unaware of how many people don’t have paid sick leave.

“I remember, years ago, standing outside a restaurant with a clipboard and a petition for paid sick days in Milwaukee,” Bravo relates.

“A guy came out, looked at the petition and said, ‘Oh

Consumer spending in the U.S. accounts for roughly 70% of economic growth, making the new coronavirus and associated disruptions in the global supply chain a significant risk to the U.S. economy. (alex80/Pixabay) thanks, I already have paid sick days.’ And as he started to walk away I said, ‘Oh great -- what about the person who

just made your lunch?’”

On Wednesday, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham declared a public health

emergency. All three New Mexico cases -- two in Socorro County and another in Bernalillo County -- are travel related.

L.A. County Supervisors Mull Alternatives to Incarceration

“The way you hold people accountable is by actually helping them change,” Mendoza said. “So when they come home, they’re better than they were when they went in.”

The push for alternatives

to incarceration sprang out of the movement to stop the county from pouring billions into new jails, and use the funds to instead help people stay out of the criminal justice system in the first place.

The LA County Jail system is the largest in the country, holding more than 17,000 people. More than 30% need mental-health services and 60% suffer from March 13, 2020

The report also called for programs better tailored to addressing the needs of LGBTQ people in the system.

Mendoza said no one should be housed where they may not be safe, especially transgender people.
