o existe la menor duda que nuestra comunidad en los Estados Unidos ha sido desproporcionalmente afectada por la emergencia de salud pública desatada por la propagación del coronavirus. La tasa de desempleo hispano en marzo ascendió a 6.0%, por encima del promedio nacional, conforme alrededor de 10 millones de personas han recurrido al seguro por desempleo sólo en las últimas dos semanas. Aunque la Ley de Salud Asequible hizo posible la cobertura médica a millones de familias latinas por primera vez, nuestra comunidad tiene además una de las tasas más alta de falta de acceso a la salud y lamentablemente la nueva iniciativa de rescate no cubrió con beneficios de desempleo a los millones de indocumentados que pagan impuestos y realizan labores esenciales para nuestra supervivencia, como los trabajadores del campo o de los hospitales. Bajo este gris panorama, es doblemente insultante y aborrecible que hordas de personas inescrupulosas –en muchos casos de origen latino-- aprovechen esta crisis para intentar estafar a los miembros más vulnerables de nuestra comunidad. Rosario Méndez, una abogada de la División de Educación al Consumidor de la Comisión Internacional de Comercio (FTC) me explica que los fraudes más comunes que empezaron a denunciar corresponden a personas que ofrecen vacunas o curaciones milagrosas contra el coronavirus. En realidad, me decía, esos productos no están certificados por la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos (FDA), ni por ninguna autoridad oficial. En otras palabras: son fraudulentos. Otros esquemas de estafas buscan despojar a familias latinas de los cheques por $1,200 dólares o $2,400 dólares que están por recibir del Departamento del Tesoro como parte del paquete de rescate económico o a los préstamos a pequeños negocios,

HOW AND WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO KEEP KIDS ON A SCHEDULE DURING SCHOOL CLOSURES

CÓMO Y POR QUÉ ES IMPORTANTE MANTENER A LOS NIÑOS EN UN HORARIO DURANTE EL CIERRE DE LA ESCUELA

ENGLISH

StatePoint

chool closures have forced families nationwide to readjust to the current reality. However, a sense of structure is important for children’s developmental growth. To create a routine for your kids that sticks, consider the following tips: • Just because there is no formal school day doesn’t mean kids should sleep in or stay up late at night. Keep the same bedtimes, wake-up routines and mealtimes you always maintained during a regular school week. Doing so will bookend the mornings and evenings with a sense of normalcy. • Mimic a school day to the best of your ability. Use the distance-learning tools your child’s teachers offer as well as other educational apps and resources to have kids focus on

different school subjects. This will help break up the day into little chunks just as would happen in the classroom. Be sure to build in time for art projects, exercise and music. Most importantly, don’t forget “recess.” If possible, allow children to play in the backyard where they can socially distance from neighbors, or set up an area of your home for playtime. • Evenings are a good time to relax and unwind together. Play board games, watch your children’s favorite movies or even use the many resources available online to enjoy a virtual walking tour of a museum, botanical garden or zoo. This is also a good time to allow children to connect with their friends using video chat or with family members they are not currently able to see in-person. • For many children, screens are their greatest distraction.

l cierre de escuelas ha obligado a las familias de todo el país a reajustarse a la realidad actual. Sin embargo, un sentido de estructura es importante para el crecimiento del desarrollo de los niños. Para crear una rutina para sus hijos que se pegue, considere los siguientes consejos:

• Imite un día escolar lo mejor que pueda. Utilice las herramientas de aprendizaje a distancia que ofrecen los maestros de su hijo, así como otras aplicaciones y recursos educativos para que los niños se centren en diferentes materias escolares. Esto ayudará a dividir el día en pequeños trozos tal como sucedería en el aula. Asegúrese de construir a tiempo para proyectos de arte, ejercicio y música. Lo más importante, no olvide el "recreo". Si es posible, permita que los niños jueguen en el patio trasero donde puedan distanciarse socialmente de los vecinos, o establezca un área de su hogar para jugar.

• El hecho de que no haya un día escolar formal no significa que los niños deben dormir o quedarse despiertos hasta tarde en

• Las tardes son un buen momento para relajarse y descansar juntos. Juegue juegos de mesa, vea las películas favoritas

For this reason, one of the best ways to ensure your children stay focused on the schedule you create for them is by managing their screen time. During these challenging times, it can be tempting to let your family routine fly out the window. By using new tools such as distance-learning programming and schedule management apps, you can keep kids to a schedule that makes them ultimately happier and healthier.

Este también es un buen momento para permitir que los niños se conecten con sus amigos mediante el chat de video o con miembros de la familia que actualmente no pueden ver en persona. • Para muchos niños, las pantallas son su mayor distracción. Por esta razón, una de las mejores maneras de garantizar que sus hijos se mantengan enfocados en el horario que les crea es administrando su tiempo frente a la pantalla. Durante estos tiempos difíciles, puede ser tentador dejar que la rutina de su familia salga volando por la ventana. Mediante el uso de nuevas herramientas, como la programación de aprendizaje a distancia y las aplicaciones de gestión de horarios, puede mantener a los niños en un horario que los haga más felices y saludables.

éxico - Los mariachis de la icónica Plaza Garibaldi de Ciudad de México se desplazaron este martes al sur de la capital para dar ánimo a los pacientes de enfermedades respiratorias y concienciar acerca del coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, a pesar de las dificultades económicas que atraviesan. "Lo que buscamos es solidarizarnos con la situación de la contingencia. Y también a ellos, que como mariachis no tienen sueldo fijo, queremos apoyarlos. Es una serenata para concienciar", dijo a Efe Karen Álvarez, trabajadora del Museo del Tequila y el Mezcal, organizador de esta salida. Álvarez enfatizó que con la llegada del coronavirus a México el turismo, que es la base de la subsistencia de los músicos de esta plaza, se paró por completo. "Cuando acabe todo esto, regresaremos con todo", ella añadió. Con canciones de ánimo, alegría y amor, las decenas de mariachis que fueron al hospital del Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias (INER) se mostraron positivos al grito de "Garibaldi nunca muere". Y es que en las últimas semanas, la Plaza Garibaldi, un lugar reconocido por su fiesta y su alegría, ha estado vacía, sin clientes pero con músicos intentando ganarse la vida sin gran éxito. "Los mexicanos ante cualquier problema cantamos y nosotros esta vez nos organizamos para venir al hospital. Siempre hemos estado en terremotos o emergencias, situaciones en las que tratamos de llevar esta vida con optimismo cantando", expresó a Efe el músico Mario Luna, quien puso de ejemplo temas como el mítico "Cielito lindo". Asimismo, añadió que ante una situación difícil es importante cuidarse entre todos y pidió que si alguien tiene un evento, estarán encantados siempre y cuando se cumpla con las medidas sanitarias. También quiso pedir al Gobierno mexicano que les ayuden de algún modo, como por ejemplo con un préstamo para cubrir necesidades, ya que muchos están tirando de ahorros y se les están acabando. El Gobierno de México decretó la emergencia

sanitaria hasta el 30 de abril, lo que obliga a parar las actividades económicas no esenciales, y exhortó a la población a quedarse en sus casas, aunque la cuarentena no es obligatoria para no afectar a los millones de personas empleadas en el trabajo informal. El número de contagiados del coronavirus en México del SARS-CoV-2, causante de la enfermedad del COVID-19, suma oficialmente 3.184 contagiados, 633 recuperados, y 174 muertos, según el reporte más reciente. Con su actuación de hoy, los músicos enfatizaron el agradecimiento al personal sanitario a la vez que animaron a los enfermos y dieron a conocer su situación de precariedad por la que necesitan que les siga saliendo trabajo. Durante canciones como "Cielito Lindo" o "El Mariachi Loco" se mostraron alegres a pesar de la coyuntura, que provocó que tuvieran que llevar mascarilla y mantener la distancia durante su actuación.

It is a serenade to raise awareness," Karen Álvarez, a worker at the Tequila and Mezcal Museum, told EFE. , organizer of this outing. Álvarez emphasized that with the arrival of the coronavirus in Mexico, tourism, which is the basis for the livelihood of the musicians in this plaza, stopped completely. "When all this is over, we will return with every-

thing," he said. With songs of encouragement, joy and love, the dozens of mariachis who went to the hospital of the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases (INER) were positive to the cry of "Garibaldi never dies". And it is that in recent weeks, the Plaza Garibaldi, a place recognized for its party and joy, has been empty, with no customers but with musicians trying to earn a living without great success. "Mexicans face any problem and we sing this time we organized to come to the hospital. We have always been in earthquakes or emergencies, situations in which we try to lead this life with optimism singing," said musician Mario Luna to Efe, who put of example themes like the mythical "Cielito lindo". He also added that in a difficult situation it is important to take care of each other and asked that if someone has an event, they will be delighted as long as the sanitary measures are complied with. He also wanted to ask the Mexican government to help them in some way, such as with a loan to cover needs, since many are pulling savings and they are running out. The Government of Mexico decreed the health emergency until April 30, which forces the non-essential economic activities to stop, and urged the population to stay at home, although quarantine is not mandatory so as not to affect the millions of people. employed in informal work. The number of people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in Mexico, which causes the COVID-19 disease, officially amounts to 2,439 and 125 deaths, according to the most recent report. With their performance today, the musicians emphasized the gratitude to the health personnel while they encouraged the sick and made known their precarious situation for which they need work to continue. During songs like "Cielito lindo" or "El mariachi loco" they were happy despite the situation, which caused them to have to wear a mask and keep their distance during their performance.

OS ANGELES - Si llama a una ambulancia en Los Ángeles en estos días, puede terminar la videoconferencia con una enfermera practicante en su hogar en lugar de ir a una sala de emergencias. Los paramédicos en Los Ángeles están probando un nuevo programa de telesalud para tratar a personas con enfermedades leves en la escena, que ahorra preciosas camas de hospital para pacientes gravemente enfermos con COVID-19. Sean Ferguson, especialista en bomberos del Departamento de Bomberos del Condado de Los Ángeles, dijo que, en casos de enfermedad leve, una enfermera practicante puede brindar el nivel adecuado de atención. "Luego pueden evaluar más al paciente, hacer su propia evaluación médica, crear un plan de tratamiento e incluso recetarles medicamentos, lo que les ahorrará un viaje a la sala de emergencias", dijo Ferguson. El departamento de bomberos de la Ciudad de Los Ángeles también participa en el programa, que es gratuito para los pacientes y les ahorra un viaje muy costoso a la sala de emergencias. Este es uno de los primeros programas de telesalud paramédicos a gran escala en el país que se creará en respuesta a la crisis de COVID-19. Ferguson dijo que las personas llaman a las ambulancias por razones que no son de emergencia de manera regular, a veces incluso si se les acaba la receta, y eso ejerce presión sobre los hospitales. "Todavía alentamos a las personas a que llamen al 911 si creen que tienen una emergencia médica", dijo, "y luego, a través de nuestra evaluación médica en la escena, podremos convocarlos a estas

enfermeras practicantes". El viernes, el gobernador Gavin Newsom emitió una orden ejecutiva que amplía las protecciones para los proveedores médicos que ofrecen servicios de telesalud. Ferguson dijo que la ciudad y el condado esperan continuar el programa de telesalud mucho después de que haya pasado la crisis actual.

Paramedics in Los Angeles are trying a new telehealth program to treat people with mild illnesses on the scene, which saves precious hospital beds for severely ill COVID-19 patients. Sean Ferguson, firefighter specialist with the L.A. County Fire Department, said in cases of mild illness, a nurse practitioner can provide the right level of care. "They can then further evaluate the patient, make their own medical assessment, create a treatment plan and even prescribe medicine to them, thus saving them a trip to the emergency room," Ferguson said. The fire department for the City of L.A. also is participating in the program, which is free to patients and saves them a very expensive trip to the ER. This is one of the first large-scale paramedic telehealth programs in the country to be created in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Ferguson said people call ambulances for non-emergency reasons on a regular basis - sometimes even if they've just run out of a prescription - and that puts a strain on hospitals. "We still encourage people to call 911 if they believe they have a medical emergency," he said, "and then through our medical assessment on scene, we may then conference them in to these nurse practitioners." On Friday, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order expanding protections for medical providers that offer telehealth services. Ferguson said the city and county hope to continue the telehealth program long after the current crisis has passed.

EARTHTALK Q&A: ENERGY-EFFICIENT INTERNET USAGE?

Dear EarthTalk: Internet data centers are fast becoming the largest power hogs in the world. What’s being done in this industry to make Internet usage more energy-efficient? -- M. T., Reno, NV

EARTHTALK Q&A: ENERGÍA EFICIENTE EN EL USO DEL INTERNET?

ESPAÑOL para funcionar. Dado que los usuarios de Internet pueden recurrir a ellos para proporcionar información en cualquier momento, deben permanecer abiertos las 24 horas, los 7 días de la semana. Además, como con cualquier forma de actividad eléctrica, el funcionamiento de este gran número de servidores agrupados en un área pequeña puede provocar un sobrecalentamiento, lo que hace que la necesidad de enfriar suponga un costo energético adicional para los administradores de centros de datos.

transitioned all of its facilities to run on nothing but renewables in 2016, including the nation’s largest data center in Reno, Nevada.

hough our online activity uses no paper, it still consumes quite a lot of energy. Data centers account for much of this energy use. These warehouse-sized buildings contain arrays or “farms” of servers, which are essentially souped-up computers that have many uses, including storing data and supporting all the activity on the internet. They are the hardware behind the proverbial “cloud.”

CONTACTS: “How to Improve Data Center Power Consumption & Energy Efficiency,” vxchnge.com/ blog/power-hungry-the-growing-energy-demands-of-data-centers; “Why data centres are the new frontier in the fight against climate change,” bit.ly/data-center-emissions; “Amazon is breaking its renewable energy commitments, Greenpeace claims,” bit.ly/amazon-laggard.

Like the personal computers we all use, servers require electricity to function. Since internet users can call upon them to provide information at any time, they must remain on 24/7. Furthermore, as with any form of electrical activity, the functioning of this large number of servers packed together in a small area can result in overheating, making the need for cooling an additional energy cost for data center managers.

According to data center provider vXchnge, U.S. data centers alone use over 90 billion kilowatthours of electricity annually—about what 34 coalpowered plants generating 500 megawatts each produce. ComputerWorld magazine reports that the energy consumption of data centers worldwide will likely account for 3.2 percent of global carbon emissions by 2025—about as much as the airline industry—and as much as 14 percent by 2040. In light of all this, finding ways to cut energy use has become a big priority in the industry. One of the simplest strategies is to locate data centers in cool climates, and use outdoor air to counter excessive heating. Alternate options include cooling inlet air by running it underground, or using a nearby water source for liquid cooling. Another issue is separating hot air produced by servers from the colder air used to cool them—no easy task if the servers are all housed together. But there are plenty of cheap solutions. Google, for example, uses low cost dividers from meat lockers for this purpose. Another way data centers can reduce cooling costs is to design servers that can operate at high temperatures without overheating. Recent research shows that servers can operate at much higher temperatures than initially believed without compromising safety or efficiency. But not all data centers are comfortable letting their servers run hot. Other ways to make server farms more efficient include optimizing grid-to-server electrical conversions and reducing the energy required by “sleeping” servers. The good news is the industry is making strides in the right direction. Apple, Facebook and Google all power 100 percent of their data center and other operations with renewables, albeit through the purchase of “renewable energy credits” akin to carbon offsets that air travelers can buy to keep their carbon footprints in check. Microsoft is moving toward 70 percent renewable energy by 2023, while laggard Amazon still only gets about half its data center power from renewables. And Switch, one of the largest U.S.-based data center companies,

unque nuestra actividad en línea no utiliza papel, todavía consume mucha energía. Los centros de datos representan gran parte de este uso de energía. Estos edificios del tamaño de un almacén contienen matrices o "granjas" de servidores, que son esencialmente computadoras mejoradas que tienen muchos usos, incluido el almacenamiento de datos y el soporte de toda la actividad en Internet. Son el hardware detrás de la proverbial "nube". Al igual que las computadoras personales que todos usamos, los servidores requieren electricidad

Según el proveedor de centros de datos vXchnge, solo los centros de datos de EE. UU. Usan más de 90 mil millones de kilovatios-hora de electricidad anualmente, aproximadamente lo que producen 34 plantas de carbón que generan 500 megavatios cada una. La revista ComputerWorld informa que el consumo de energía de los centros de datos en todo el mundo probablemente representará el 3.2 por ciento de las emisiones globales de carbono para 2025, aproximadamente tanto como la industria de las aerolíneas, y hasta el 14 por ciento para 2040. A la luz de todo esto, encontrar formas de reducir el uso de energía se ha convertido en una gran prioridad en la industria. Una de las estrategias más simples es ubicar centros de datos en climas fríos y usar aire exterior para contrarrestar el calentamiento excesivo. Las opciones alternativas incluyen enfriar el aire de entrada haciéndolo correr bajo tierra o usando una fuente de agua cercana para el enfriamiento líquido. Otro problema es separar el aire caliente producido por los servidores del aire más frío utilizado para enfriarlos; no es tarea fácil si todos los servidores están alojados juntos. Pero hay muchas soluciones baratas. Google, por ejemplo, utiliza divisores de bajo costo de los armarios de carne para este propósito. Otra forma en que los centros de datos pueden reducir los costos de enfriamiento es diseñar servidores que puedan operar a altas temperaturas sin sobrecalentarse. Investigaciones recientes muestran que los servidores pueden funcionar a temperaturas mucho más altas de lo que inicialmente se creía sin comprometer la seguridad o la eficiencia. Pero no todos los centros de datos se sienten cómodos dejando que sus servidores funcionen en caliente. Otras formas de hacer que las granjas de servidores sean más eficientes incluyen la optimización de las conversiones eléctricas de red a servidor y la reducción de la energía requerida por los servidores "inactivos". La buena noticia es que la industria está avanzando en la dirección correcta. Apple, Facebook y Google impulsan el 100 por ciento de su centro de datos y otras operaciones con energías renovables, aunque mediante la compra de "créditos de energía renovable" similares a las compensaciones de carbono que los viajeros aéreos pueden comprar para mantener sus huellas de carbono bajo control. Microsoft se está moviendo hacia un 70 por ciento de energía renovable para 2023, mientras que Amazon, que aún está rezagado, solo obtiene la mitad de la energía de su centro de datos de las energías renovables. Y Switch, una de las mayores empresas de centros de datos con sede en EE. UU., Hizo la transición de todas sus instalaciones para funcionar solo con energías renovables en 2016, incluido el centro de datos más grande del país en Reno, Nevada.

iempre es el momento adecuado para comprometerse con hábitos, comportamientos y pasos saludables destinados a mejorar su salud física y mental. Cuando la pandemia del COVID-19 está creando tanta incertidumbre y poniendo de cabeza tantas rutinas, los expertos dicen que centrarse en las cosas que están bajo su control es particularmente importante. “En este momento en particular, por desafiante que pueda ser, es muy importante que todos nosotros, como individuos, reconozcamos que nuestras acciones pueden tener, y tienen, un impacto colectivo”, dice la Dra. Patrice A. Harris, presidenta de la Asociación Médica Estadounidense (AMA). “Hay mucha gente de luto en este momento. De modo trágico, algunos están de luto por la pérdida de seres queridos, pero la gente también puede lamentar la pérdida del empleo, las rutinas o la capacidad de estar con la familia y los amigos. Todo el mundo debe saber que estos sentimientos son normales y que deben permitirse experimentarlos”. Aquí tiene algunos pasos sencillos de la AMA para conservar su salud física y mental durante los tiempos inusuales del COVID-19: 1. Canalice sus sentimientos de ansiedad o impotencia convirtiéndolos en acción. Practicar el distanciamiento físico y asegurarse de lavarse las manos con agua jabonosa tibia durante al menos 20 segundos son dos pasos que protegen su salud y la de los demás. Cree un plan de acción de seguridad para usted y su familia. También plantéese cómo pueden marcar una gran diferencia los pequeños gestos, tales como ofrecer recoger alimentos para un vecino mayor de edad o en riesgo que puede estar preocupado por salir de casa. 2. Cuide de usted mismo en lo físico. Duerma tanto como pueda, intente incluir frutas y verduras en su dieta y asegúrese de moverse. Con muchos gimnasios y parques cerrados y el distanciamiento físico en vigor, puede parecer más difícil hacer ejercicio, así que plantéese opciones en casa, lo que

puede incluir el baile, para mantenerse activo. 3. Cree nuevas rutinas. Ahora que hay más personas trabajando desde casa o cuidando a niños en edad escolar, las vidas diarias que teníamos antes del COVID-19 son un recuerdo lejano. Pero desarrollar rutinas –tiempo para el trabajo, tiempo para las comidas, tiempo para soltar vapor– es algo fundamental para crear una nueva normalidad. En el mundo de hoy, hay muchas cosas que no podemos controlar, pero sí podemos hacerlo con nuestros horarios. 4. Tómese el tiempo necesario para desconectar las redes sociales y las noticias. Es fundamental en este momento saber lo que está sucediendo en el mundo y mantenerse conectado con la familia y los amigos, pero si las redes sociales y las noticias durante 24 horas lo están poniendo ansioso, consúmalas en menores dosis. 5. Perciba sus sentimientos. Es natural preocuparse y sentir miedo en un momento como éste. También es importante recordar que hay médicos, funcionarios de salud pública en todos los niveles de gobierno y expertos del sector privado que están trabajando incansablemente para limitar la propagación y el impacto del COVID-19. 6. Manténgase conectado. Las redes sociales nos dan un punto de conexión común en los momentos de aislamiento, pero hay una oportunidad real en este momento para mantenerse conectados a través de llamadas telefónicas y chats de video con amigos, familiares e incluso personas de las que no hayamos sabido en mucho tiempo. El distanciamiento físico es importante, pero sigue estando bien socializar. 7. Si tiene hijos, hable con ellos de una manera apropiada a su edad y evite atribuirles sentimientos. No diga “Sé que tienen miedo”. Los niños son observadores y sabios. Pueden saber que las cosas son diferentes, pero pueden no tener miedo. Hágales saber que hay personas inteligentes trabajando para conocer la forma de mantenernos a todos a salvo. Modele una forma saludable de afrontar la situación.

t’s always the right time to commit to healthy habits, behaviors and steps to improve your physical and mental health. With the COVID-19 pandemic creating so much uncertainty and upending so many routines, experts say that focusing on the things within your control is particularly important. “At this particular moment -- challenging as it may be -- it is very important for all of us as individuals to recognize that our actions can and do have a collective impact,” says Dr. Patrice A. Harris, president of the American Medical Association (AMA). “A lot of people are grieving at this moment. Tragically some are grieving loss of loved ones; but people can also grieve the loss of employment, routines or the ability to be with family and friends. Everyone should know that these feelings are normal, and they should allow themselves to experience them.” Here some simple steps from the AMA to maintain your physical and mental health during the unusual times of COVID-19: 1. Channel your feelings of anxiety or helplessness into action. Practicing physical distancing and making sure to wash your hands with warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds are two steps that protect your health and the health of others. Create a safety action plan for you and your family. Also consider how small gestures – like offering to pick up groceries for an older or at-risk neighbor who may be anxious about leaving home -- can make a big difference. 2. Take care of yourself physically. Get as much sleep as you can, try to include fruits and vegetables into your diet, and make sure you move. With many gyms and parks closed and physical distancing

in place, it may seem harder to work out, so consider options at home, including dancing, to stay active. 3. Create new routines. With more people working from home and/or caring for school-aged children, the daily lives we had before COVID-19 are a distant memory. But building routines -- time for work, time for meals, time for decompressing -- is critical to creating a new normal. In the world today, there are so many things we can’t control, but our schedules are something we can. 4. Take time to turn off social media and the news. It is critical at this moment to know what is happening in the world and to stay connected with family and friends, but if social media and 24-hour news are making you anxious, consume them in doses. 5. Feel your feelings. It’s natural to worry and be afraid at a moment like this. It is also important to remember there are physicians, public health officials at all levels of government, as well as experts in the private sector, working tirelessly to limit the spread and impact of COVID-19. 6. Stay connected. Social media gives us a common connection point during times of isolation, but there is real opportunity at this moment to stay connected via phone calls and video chats with friends, family, and even people you haven’t heard from in a while. Physical distancing is important, but it’s still okay to socialize. 7. If you have children, talk to them in an age-appropriate way, and avoid ascribing feelings to them. Don’t say, “I know you’re scared.” Kids are observant and they’re wise. They may know things are different, but they may not be afraid. Let them know smart people are working on ways to keep us all safe. Model healthy coping.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Two carinsurance giants, Allstate and American Family Insurance, have just announced they'll refund $800 million to the drivers they insure.

"This is only going to happen if state insurance commissioners around the country get involved and encourage all the auto insurance companies to return the money to all of the drivers," he said.

The companies say the rebates are possible because people are driving so much less during the COVID-19 crisis and, thus, collision claims have fallen off dramatically. Other companies say they may follow suit.

He said people also have the right to contact their elected state insurance commissioners to push for action on this issue.

Charles Bell, programs director for advocacy with Consumer Reports, said some drivers could get back as much as 15% of their premium per month.

"When you buy an auto insurance premium, you're rated for the number of miles that you tell the auto insurance company you'll be driving that year," he said. "And if you're only driving onesixth or one-fifth of the driving miles that you estimated, you could be due for a very substantial reduction."

He estimated that if the pandemic drags on for many months, some drivers could get refunds of as much as $600 this year. Drivers will need to contact their insurance company and ask to be re-rated based on the new, lower number of miles they're driving each month.

"Cuando compra una prima de seguro de auto, se le califica por la cantidad de millas que le dice a la compañía de seguro de auto que conducirá ese año," dijo. "Y si solo está manejando un sexto o un quinto de las millas de manejo que calculó, podría recibir una reducción muy sustancial." Estimó que si la pandemia se prolonga durante muchos meses, algunos conductores podrían obtener reembolsos de hasta $ 600 este año. Los conductores deberán ponerse en contacto con su compañía de seguros y solicitar que se les vuelva a calificar en función de la nueva y menor cantidad de millas que conducen cada mes. Bell dijo que quiere que todas las compañías de seguros de automóviles se sumen a los reembolsos, pero agregó que algunos necesitarán ser impulsados. "Esto solo sucederá si los comisionados de seguros estatales de todo el país se involucran y alientan a todas las compañías de seguros de automóviles a devolver el dinero a todos los conductores," dijo. Dijo que las personas también tienen el derecho de contactar a sus comisionados de seguros estatales electos para presionar para que se tomen medidas sobre este tema.

CA 2020 CENSO

Informe de la Oficina del Censo detalla ingresos y circunstancias económicas de la población

Lanzan campaña para mejorar conteo de los niños

Virginia Gaglianone

Virginia.gaglianone@laopinion.com

En las próximas semanas, los hogares estadounidenses comenzarán a recibir los cuestionarios del conteo nacional que tiene lugar cada diez años. Los resultados del Censo 2020 definirán programas, servicios, representación política y recursos fundamentales para los hogares de EEUU. Expertos, activistas, educadores y líderes de la comunidad alientan a todos a participar del conteo, independientemente de la edad, raza, situación migratoria o legal. Cuando no se cuentan a todos, incluidos niños pequeños, ancianos, migrantes o cualquier otro grupo difícil de contar, se corre el riesgo de que programas sociales, almuerzos escolares, servicios para la tercera edad, y muchos otros servicios no reciban los fondos necesarios para continuar su existencia. Pero la Oficina del Censo no solo recopila información una vez cada diez años. La agencia también recoge regularmente datos y publica estadísticas y estimados de ingresos y niveles de pobreza en la comunidad, para evaluar tendencias económicas y su impacto en hogares, familias e individuos. Reporte sobre salarios y niveles de pobreza Entre los informes de la Oficina del Censo, el Reporte sobre ingresos y pobreza en EEUU revela información sobre los salarios y situación económica de los estadounidenses. Dicha información está basada en datos recopilados en 2019, así como en la Encuesta de población actual (Current Population Survey ó CPS) y en los Suplementos sociales y económicos anuales (Annual Social and Economic Supplements ASEC), realizados por la Oficina del Censo junto a la Ofi-

Las encuestas que realiza la Oficina del Censo, además del conteo decenal, refleja otros aspectos de la vida como los salarios o niveles de pobreza. /ARCHIVO

Sueldos y niveles de pobreza en la comunidad hispana cina de estadísticas laborales (Bureau of Labor Statistics). El reporte, preparado por Jessica Semega, Melissa Kollar, John Creamer, y Abinash Mohanty fue publicado en septiembre de 2019. Compartimos algunos de sus hallazgos ¿Cuánto ganan mis vecinos? El reporte de 2019 encontró que el sueldo promedio de los hogares hispanos en 2018 fue de $51,450 dólares anuales. Dichos ingresos no aumentaron estadísticamente con respecto a los ingresos de 2017. Comparados con otros grupos étnicos, en 2018, los hogares asiáticos tuvieron un ingreso promedio de $87,194, un aumento del 4.6% comparado al año anterior. Los ingresos anuales promedio de grupos blancos no hispanos fueron

de $70,642; mientras que los hogares afroamericanos tuvieron un ingreso anual promedio de $51,450. En cuanto a la relación entre hogares mantenidos económicamente por personas nacidas en EEUU y hogares mantenidos por inmigrantes, los primeros vieron un aumento del 1.4% en sus ingresos entre 2017 y 2018; mientras que los hogares mantenidos por personas nacidas fuera de EEUU no vieron ningún aumento estadístico en sus ingresos. Continúa la desigualdad de género En 2018, los ingresos medios de los hombres que trabajaron tiempo completo fueron de $55,291; mientras que los ingresos medios de las mujeres

trabajando tiempo completo fueron de $45,097 Niveles de pobreza entre grupos demográficos Los parámetros de pobreza, según información de la Oficina del Censo, son los siguientes: O Individuo menor de 65 años, sin hijos: $13,300 dólares anuales O Individuo mayor de 65, sin hijos: $12,261 O Familia de cuatro personas con dos hijos menores de 18 años, $25,926

En 2018, el índice de pobreza entre los hispanos fue del 17.6%, esto es alrededor de 10.5 millones de hispanos vivían en niveles de pobreza. En general, todos los grupos entrevistados redujeron el índice de sus niveles de

pobreza, entre 2017 y 2018. El único grupo que aumentó fue el de adultos mayores de 25 años que no se graduaron de la escuela preparatoria. In 2018, el 25.9% de las personas de este grupo vivían en la pobreza, un aumento del 24.5% comparado con 2017. En cuanto al género de los entrevistados, en 2018, el índice de pobreza entre hombres fue de 10.6%; mientras que el índice de pobreza entre mujeres fue del 12.9%. Si bien los índices de pobreza entre hispanos alcanzaron un mínimo histórico, este grupo, que abarca el 18.3% de la población total del país, representa el 27.2% de la población que vive en niveles de pobreza. Para más información, visita: https://www.census.gov/

Los niños menores de cinco años se encuentran entre la población históricamente menos contada en la población del país por lo que la Oficina del Censo 2020 está haciendo esfuerzos para crear conciencia de la importancia de cuantificarlos y la semana pasada se realizó un evento en Cleveland, Ohio, para abordar el problema. “Una década es esencialmente una infancia”, advirtió Steven Dillingham, de la Oficina del Censo, “Los niños de hoy merecen la mejor salud, educación y servicios comunitarios posibles. No pueden contarse a sí mismos, cuentan con usted (los adultos) para contarlos”, añadió. En 2014 la Oficina del Censo publicó una investigación en la que se dice que los niños menores de 5 años corrían el riesgo de no ser contados. Sin embargo, el estudio encontró que los niños que pertenecían a minorías hispanas; aquellos que viven en hogares con el padre o la madre; y niños que viven en viviendas ocupadas por inquilinos y estructuras de unidades múltiples; entre otros, tienen mayor probabilidad de ser ignorados en el conteo. “Lo que nos sorprende es la gran ironía de que los niños que se benefician más de un censo exacto son los que tienen más probabilidades de no ser contados”, dijo Tracy Garrett, de Sesame Workshop. En ese sentido Judy Aschner, de la Federación de Organizaciones Pediátricas (FOPO), subrayó que un conteo inexacto de los pequeños es “una amenaza para la investigación pediátrica y la salud y el bienestar de los niños”. /EFE

UNA SEMANA SANTA SIN TURISMO EN ARGENTINA POR EL COVID-19

Cecilia Caminos EFE

cerrar, empresas que no van a poder volver a abrir si cerraron temporariamente y seguramente un nuevo ordenamiento en el sector del turismo que es claramente el más afectado de todos", advierte Elías.

uenos Aires - La Semana Santa tiene un amplio sentido religioso en Argentina, pero también es sinónimo de turismo. O al menos lo era, ya que este año las carreteras se espera luzcan vacías, al igual que los principales destinos que solían estallar de visitantes para esta época.

AL MENOS DOS AÑOS PARA RECUPERAR LO PERDIDO Las agencias de turismo hacen mientras tanto malabares para sobrevivir sin despedir empleados, sin poder facturar un peso ni un dólar y con graves dificultades financieras para devolver reservas al exterior por las restricciones cambiarias y las diferencias en el tipo de cambio que deben pagar para volver a hacerse de divisas para enviar a afuera a quienes suspendieron sus planes.

Playas inhóspitas, sierras sin visitantes, las cataratas del Iguazú vacías, el Norte y la Patagonia, como si no existiera más la temporada turística, en un panorama que luce desolador. La cuarentena obligatoria decretada por el Gobierno argentino desde el 20 de marzo para frenar la propagación del coronavirus terminó por paralizar al sector turístico, que con el avance de la pandemia ya sentía una desaceleración abrupta. "La situación del sector es terminal, estamos en un escenario nunca antes vivido donde ni las agencias de viaje, ni los restaurantes, ni los servicios terrestres vinculados al turismo ni la hotelería tienen trabajo ni posibilidades de tenerlo en lo inmediato", alerta a Efe el presidente de la Cámara Argentina de Turismo (CAT), Aldo Elías. DE LOS ALFAJORES A LAS LAVANDERÍAS El diagnóstico es preocupante porque "no hay empresa que pueda sostener cero ingresos y pago de sueldos, ni las grandes ni las chiquitas", en una industria de mano de obra intensiva en la que el 60 % de los egresos son salarios, explica el directivo. El turismo va mucho más allá de hoteles, aviones y ómnibus, ya que incluye a un enorme abanico de actividades que suele dinamizar las economías de ciudades y regiones enteras. La pequeña empresa familiar que produce alfajores -la golosina característica argentina y de la que existen tantas variaciones como pueblos-, artesanos, los que atienden lavanderías, distribuyen alimentos, realizan mantenimiento de infraestructura y tecnología, la lista es interminable.

Photo Credit: Unsplash "Acá todo es turismo", señala preocupada Mariana Dvorkin, gerente de una hostería familiar en la villa turística patagónica de El Calafate, cerca del glaciar Perito Moreno, uno de los imanes turísticos de la Argentina. "Por suerte no pago alquiler porque la hostería es nuestra, la única empleada que tenemos seguirá cobrando su sueldo y la persona que había contratado hasta mediados de abril recibirá su paga, pero me quedaré con lo mínimo que se pueda y habrá que pasar el invierno", resume la empresaria hotelera. UNA ECONOMÍA QUE YA ARRASTRABA PROBLEMAS En una economía azotada por la recesión desde hace dos años, con altos niveles de inflación, el turismo asomaba como un potente motor para dinamizar la economía porque durante tres años consecutivos Argentina fue el país de la región que más visitantes extranjeros recibió, incluso por delante de Brasil, según destaca el presidente de la CAT, con

7,4 millones de turistas en 2019. Además, el turismo interno venía en alza, tras un verano austral con importantes porcentajes de ocupación y buenos pronósticos para el resto del año, impulsado además por la devaluación y las restricciones en el mercado de cambios para comprar divisas que frenaban los viajes al extranjero. La confirmación del primer caso de coronavirus en la Argentina, el 3 de marzo, prendió las luces de alarma y llevó al Gobierno a decretar el día 20 la cuarentena obligatoria, que frustró todas las expectativas del sector turístico para las "minivacaciones" planificadas para el fin de semana extralargo que comenzaba ese día hasta el 24 por festivos nacionales. La Semana Santa sin turismo y la incertidumbre que reina acerca de las vacaciones del invierno austral en julio ponen al sector turístico en jaque. "Esto es un parate, esto es actividad cero, esto no es una crisis, esto significa que empresas van a

Fuentes del sector señalan a Efe que las agencias que sobrevivan tardarán al menos dos años en superar este golpe al turismo, porque ya se calcula con una mala temporada para 2021, que deberán afrontar además sin recursos acumulados para amortiguar nuevas pérdidas. La principal preocupación hoy de la cámara empresaria es "sostener las fuentes de trabajo", subraya Elías, y el Ministerio de Turismo y Deportes ya prepara un plan de apoyo económico específico para el sector. "En este contexto sumamente difícil, estamos trabajando fuertemente con todas las herramientas a nuestro alcance para contener los daños del presente. Y una vez superada esta crisis tan profunda poder estar listos para que el turismo vuelva a ser un sector clave en la recuperación economía del país", precisa a Efe el ministro de Turismo, Matías Lammens. ¿Cuándo podría reactivarse el turismo? Es la gran pregunta sin respuesta en medio de la pandemia, porque muchas fuentes del sector coinciden en que la gente no se animará con facilidad a salir a recorrer un mundo en el que casi ninguna región pudo escapar del virus y habrá una enorme voracidad en la industria por captar a los pocos viajantes que se atrevan.

WUHAN AWAKES FROM MONTHS-LONG WUHAN SE DESPIERTA DEL ENCIERRO DE LOCKDOWN AS TRAVEL IS RESTORED MESES YA QUE SE RESTABLECE EL VIAJE ENGLISH

de que pronto llegará a Beijing, donde trabaja. Sin embargo, llegar a Beijing requerirá una escala, ya que no hay vuelos directos a la capital china, dijeron los empleados del aeropuerto a los periodistas.

uhan, China - Wuhan awoke from a months-long slumber on Wednesday with thousands of people leaving the Chinese city as strict quarantine measures that have kept it sealed for almost 11 weeks were lifted at dawn.

"Voy a Tianjin (en el noreste) primero. No estaba segura de que este viaje se concretaría, pero por ahora, todo va bien", agrega la mujer. Aunque la normalidad se está restaurando lentamente, el distanciamiento social sigue siendo una prioridad.

After 76 days of enforced quarantine and amid an atmosphere of contained joy, more than a thousand vehicles chugged along the roads of Wuhan as most of the traffic controls imposed since January were lifted. Despite the lifting of most measures, 15 of the 75 checkpoints that regulated inbound and outbound traffic in the city remained operational on Wednesday, a worker at the toll booths said during a tour organized for the media. Since 23 January, all exits and entry points have been restricted in Wuhan, the capital of the central-eastern province of Hubei, after the Covid-19 epidemic took hold in late December. The authorities now claim to have the outbreak under control, railway services resumed in the three stations of Wuhan, from where the first trains departed. Some were bound for cities like Jingzhou, in the province of Hubei, while others headed for large cities like Guangzhou and Shanghai. According to the state Global Times, ticket sales figures updated as of Tuesday showed that more than 55,000 passengers had already purchased tickets to travel by train, of which 40 percent are destined for Pearl River, where thousands of factories employ migrant workers from the rest of China. "Very happy, very happy, I'm going home," a passenger told EFE while rushing to start her trip to her hometown. Air transport also resumed operations on Wednesday, although on a reduced scale, as the city's airport witnessed a steady, if quiet, trickle of travelers. Many of the passengers sported white protective overalls, including children. At the airport, Zhang is waiting for his flight to his hometown Qingdao, in the east of the country. "I want to return. The epidemic surprised me while in Wuhan, I have not been able to return since then," he tells Efe. A woman covered from head-to-toe in a white protective suit says she is relieved to see the flux of people in the terminal and is hopeful she will soon get to Beijing where she works.

Los aviones no viajarán llenos y transportarán alrededor del 50 por ciento de su capacidad total para evitar la propagación de posibles infecciones, a pesar de que los pasajeros se sometan a controles de salud y seguridad antes de abordar.

The mobile health code app developed by the Chinese authorities establishes three categories: green, yellow and red. A green code guarantees the person is not infected and has not been in close contact with confirmed or suspected coronavirus cases. A yellow code indicates the user should be in home isolation and a red code confirms the holder is a Covid-19 patient and should be in quarantine.

La aplicación de código de salud móvil desarrollada por las autoridades chinas establece tres categorías: verde, amarillo y rojo. Un código verde garantiza que la persona no está infectada y que no ha estado en contacto cercano con casos confirmados o sospechosos de coronavirus. Un código amarillo indica que el usuario debe estar aislado en el hogar y un código rojo confirma que el titular es un paciente de Covid-19 y debe estar en cuarentena.

Taxis and transport by ferry and tram will also launch services on Wednesday, as well as coaches for long-distance routes, while medium- and short-distance routes will remain suspended for the time being.

Desde el 23 de enero, todas las salidas y puntos de entrada han sido restringidos en Wuhan, la capital de la provincia del centro-este de Hubei, después de que la epidemia de Covid-19 se extendiera a fines de diciembre.

Los taxis y el transporte en ferry y tranvía también lanzarán servicios el miércoles, así como autobuses para rutas de larga distancia, mientras que las rutas de media y corta distancia permanecerán suspendidas por el momento.

The city of 11 million inhabitants has recorded more than 50,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 since the end of December, of which 2,571 have died, according to official data.

Las autoridades ahora afirman tener el brote bajo control, los servicios ferroviarios se reanudaron en las tres estaciones de Wuhan, desde donde partieron los primeros trenes.

La ciudad de 11 millones de habitantes ha registrado más de 50,000 casos confirmados de Covid-19 desde finales de diciembre, de los cuales 2,571 han muerto, según datos oficiales.

On Wednesday Wuhan registered one Covid-19 death after China recorded a milestone on Tuesday of zero deaths, the first time since the outbreak began, according to the National Health Commission.

Algunos se dirigían a ciudades como Jingzhou, en la provincia de Hubei, mientras que otros se dirigían a grandes ciudades como Guangzhou y Shanghái.

El miércoles, Wuhan registró una muerte de Covid-19 después de que China registrara un hito el martes de cero muertes, la primera vez desde que comenzó el brote, según la Comisión Nacional de Salud.

In Wuhan, there are still 445 people infected with the coronavirus of the 1,190 infections in China. Of those infected in the country, 189 patients are in a serious condition and 155 of those are in the capital of Hubei.

"I'm going to Tianjin (in the northeast) first. I wasn’t sure this trip would come to fruition, but for now, everything is going well," the woman adds.

Since the pandemic began, 81,802 people have contracted the virus in China.

Only those who can verify they are in good health through QR codes generated by a mobile

Después de 76 días de cuarentena forzada y en medio de una atmósfera de alegría contenida, más de mil vehículos se arrastraron por las carreteras de Wuhan, ya que la mayoría de los controles de tráfico impuestos desde enero se levantaron.

Incluso después de demostrar que están sanos, a los pasajeros aún se les controla la temperatura.

A pesar del levantamiento de la mayoría de las medidas, 15 de los 75 puntos de control que regulaban el tráfico entrante y saliente en la ciudad permanecieron operativos el miércoles, dijo un trabajador en las cabinas de peaje durante una gira organizada para los medios.

Official figures, however, show a very notable improvement of the situation after at least 3,333 people died from the respiratory disease.

Planes will not travel full and will carry around 50 percent of their total capacity to prevent possible infections spreading, despite passengers undergoing extensive health and safety checks before boarding.

uhan, China - Wuhan se despertó de un sueño de un mes el miércoles con miles de personas que abandonaron la ciudad china cuando las estrictas medidas de cuarentena que la han mantenido cerrada durante casi 11 semanas se levantaron al amanecer.

Aside from railway connections and air travel, the state news agency Xinhua reported that another 30 bus routes will also resume Wednesday to bring total operating lines to 346, and another subway line will reopen.

However, getting to Beijing will require a stopover, as there are no direct flights to the Chinese capital, airport employees told reporters.

Even though normality is slowly being restored, social distancing is still a priority.

Health authorities said that as of midnight on Tuesday two new Covid-19 deaths were recorded, one in Shanghai (in the east) and the aforementioned one in Wuhan. To date, 715,854 people have been monitored for having had close contact with infected persons. Of those 13,334 remain under observation, and 83 are suspected SARS-CoV-2 infections. On March 12 the Chinese government declared that the peak of transmissions had come to an end in the Asian country.

Según el Global Times del estado, las cifras de ventas de boletos actualizadas hasta el martes mostraron que más de 55,000 pasajeros ya habían comprado boletos para viajar en tren, de los cuales el 40 por ciento están destinados a Pearl River, donde miles de fábricas emplean a trabajadores migrantes del resto de Estados Unidos. China. "Muy feliz, muy feliz, me voy a casa", le dijo una pasajera a EFE mientras se apresuraba a comenzar su viaje a su ciudad natal. El transporte aéreo también reanudó las operaciones el miércoles, aunque a escala reducida, ya que el aeropuerto de la ciudad fue testigo de un goteo constante, aunque silencioso, de viajeros. Muchos de los pasajeros llevaban monos de protección blancos, incluidos niños. En el aeropuerto, Zhang está esperando su vuelo a su ciudad natal, Qingdao, en el este del país. "Quiero regresar. La epidemia me sorprendió mientras que en Wuhan, no he podido regresar desde entonces", le dice a Efe. Una mujer cubierta de pies a cabeza con un traje protector blanco dice que se siente aliviada al ver el flujo de personas en la terminal y tiene la esperanza

Además de las conexiones ferroviarias y los viajes aéreos, la agencia estatal de noticias Xinhua informó que otras 30 rutas de autobuses también se reanudarán el miércoles para llevar el total de líneas operativas a 346, y se abrirá otra línea de metro.

En Wuhan, todavía hay 445 personas infectadas con el coronavirus de las 1.190 infecciones en China. De los infectados en el país, 189 pacientes se encuentran en estado grave y 155 de ellos están en la capital de Hubei. Sin embargo, las cifras oficiales muestran una mejora notable de la situación después de que al menos 3,333 personas murieron a causa de la enfermedad respiratoria. Desde que comenzó la pandemia, 81,802 personas han contraído el virus en China. Las autoridades de salud dijeron que a partir de la medianoche del martes se registraron dos nuevas muertes de Covid-19, una en Shanghái (en el este) y la mencionada en Wuhan. Hasta la fecha, 715,854 personas han sido monitoreadas por haber tenido contacto cercano con personas infectadas. El 12 de marzo el gobierno chino declaró que el pico de transmisiones había llegado a su fin en el país asiático.
