In the March 3 primary for the San Diego City Council District 9 seat, Kelvin Barrios landed frontrunner status with 31.6% of the vote, assuring him a spot on the November ballot.

His celebrating was short lived, however. Just nine days later, Barrios began showing symptoms related to COVID-19 and was sick with the virus for over two weeks.

“Three of those days were pretty tough. I was hospitalized

one of those days and I did have a wide range of symptoms,” he said. “It’s some scary stuff, I’ll be honest. My case was mild to moderate, but I’ve never been this sick and I have a strong immune system. I’m young.

I’m healthy. I’d get a flu and it would knock me out three to four days tops. This? I was weak and I had a feeling, ‘this is not a normal thing, I probably have COVID.’ And once I saw that other people I know were testing positive, I went and got tested.”

Barrios went to the hospital and was tested March 20 when SEE BARRIOS, Page 4

Authorities have begun citing essential businesses that have not complied with the requirement to post social-distancing and sanitization guidelines near the entrance of their businesses.

All employees of grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants open for to-go orders, fast-food eateries, convenience stores and gas stations must also wear a facial covering at all times as part of a county health order.

Though not mandating that residents wear face coverings, essential businesses can deny entry to customers whose faces are not covered, said County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher.

“If an individual business chooses to say that you need to have a face covering to come into their business, that is a determination that those businesses can make,'' Fletcher said.

Sheriff’s deputies and SDPD started enforcing the stayat-home orders last weekend.

SDPD issued 10 citations – which carry a potential $1,000 fine – in Ocean Beach, including three at Robb Field, two at Dog Beach, and one at Sunset Cliffs. Five more citations occurred at Balboa Park.

COVID-19 or under investigation for the virus — one on a ventilator. So far, Gomez reported, Alvarado is on pace to not be overburdened with patients like what is being experienced by hospitals in places like New York City and Italy.

Although it took several weeks for Alvarado to see its first COVID patient, it began dealing with the crisis weeks ago.

“In the beginning when it first started hitting, we had a line of patients out the door just wanting to be rapidly tested. I don’t have rapid testing, my tests come back in 24 hours,” she said. “The testing medium was very specific and we didn’t have that many test kits, so what we ended up doing was the patients who were coming to the hospital that had active symptoms and were being admitted to the hospital, we tested every single one of those patients. That way, as a hospital, we knew what we were dealing with.”

SAFETY MEASURES

Part of knowing what they’re dealing with is taking added precautions at the hospital.

Nurses that care for COVID patients follow specific guidelines entering and exiting patient rooms.

“We call it darning and dropping gowns. You put on the gown; you put on the gloves; you put on a N95 mask; and then you put on a surgical mask over the top of that, then a face shield on top of that,” she said. “In talking to the staff we say, ‘Hey we are actually probably safer here because we know where the COVID patients are, we have the protective PPE equipment to protect our staff against this virus.

“We did a lot of things proactively,” Gomez added. “Number one, conservation of PPE (personal protective equipment). When I say PPE, it’s not just masks.

We’re talking about face shields.

We’re talking about regular surgical masks that are not N95s and you’re talking about N95s themselves.”

Alvarado also only has around 150 mediums used for tests, and some of those are set aside for staff in case there is an exposure and everyone needs to be tested. “I always have to make sure I have enough mediums to test employees along with patients,” Gomez said.

Beyond the protective equipment and the strict guidelines on how to use them, Alvarado has also made structural changes to where patients are treated. To reduce the chances of virus-laden droplets from spreading, the hospital has started cohorting patients. COVID patients and those under investigation for the virus are on their own floor. There is also a floor for COVID patients requiring a ventilator.

“We’re not fighting COVID-19 right now, we're fighting fear...”

—ALVARADO HOSPITAL CEO, ROBIN GOMEZ

Because Alvarado Hospital is an accredited geriatric emergency hospital, a third floor has been emptied to treat aged patients over 65 yeas old that are recovering from COVID-19. Gomez said that as patients recover from the virus, they go into a “convalescent” stage of recovery.

“Maybe you need a little bit of supplemental oxygen, making sure you’re getting proper nutrition and all that,” she said, adding that the county has done a good job in getting hotel rooms or even college dorm rooms for younger patients to recover in but since older patients need a little more attention, the county asked them to step in.

“So, patients that are no longer needing acute hospital-level of care, but can’t go back to the nursing home because they’re [COVID] positive, they’re going to be brought here and we’ll keep them here until they meet a set criteria and can be discharged safely.”

SUPPLY CHAIN WOES

Even with taking all the precautions and following the best practices available, there are still some aspects of managing a hospital

during the pandemic crisis that are beyond the control of hospital administrators.

“When you see on the news that we never know what we are going to get in our supply chain, that’s no joke,” Gomez said.

For example, on a recent order for 500 large and medium N95 masks, Alvarado ended up receiving 200 smalls. The hospital is also having a “hard time” getting cleaning supplies.

However, Gomez said, the hospital’s environmental services director has kept Alvarado supplied by finding some “phenomenally resourceful” solutions.

“We ordered five or six cases [of the usual cleaning wipes] in our last order and we got none,” Gomez said. “But what our EVS director has done is she was able to get the liquid stuff.

We could get the dry wipes, that’s easy, and we put together buckets and we did a makeshift container so we can pull them right out of the top like the other buckets were and we distributed those out on the floor with all the proper equipment and all the proper solutions to clean.”

And although Gomez said the hospital is equipped with enough N95 masks for nurses to get one a day for “a number of weeks,” she still worries about keeping the hospital properly stocked.

“PPE and general supplies is such a big issue. It really, really is such a big issue,” she said. “I just can’t say, ‘Oh we’re OK for today and tomorrow.’ I got to look ahead three weeks, four weeks because the reality is, I’m only allowed one order a month. That order goes in on the first of the month. Literally, my director, she woke up at 11:45 at night and at midnight she submitted our order because it’s first come, first serve in the queue.”

The hospital has also begun reusing N95 masks by using a hydrogen peroxide sterilizer.

“We’re able to sterilize and we get about half of them back,” Gomez said.

The good news for the hospital’s supplies is that it is well-stocked with ventilators — 28 total — and medication.

“The hydroxychloroquine — we have it and so if it comes down to needing to be used, we have it;

we have azithromycin and those are the two big ones being talked about on the news all the time,” Gomez said, adding that Alvarado has at least three weeks of doses.

Although Alvarado is in possession of these drugs, they are still experimental and unproven thus far at treating COVID-19.

PUBLIC PRAISE

Gomez is very proud of her staff and how it has adapted to the challenges brought on by the pandemic.

“I’ve worked in healthcare for over 25 years and I’ve never worked with a more cohesive strong leadership team,” she said, adding that her team is using a variety of communication strategies to keep up moral at the hospital.

“We’re not just f ighting COVID-19 right now, we’re fighting fear, because there was an element right away of fear,” she said. “When they say the situation is fluid, it’s absolutely true. And what I’ve found is transparency alleviates fears, because if they know what I know, they know what I know.”

The communication strategy is working and Gomez shared that a nurse recently volunteered to work on the COVID unit.

“It is phenomenal the way our staff is stepping up to care for these patients and the energy they’re bringing. It is really heartwarming," she said.

The community has also stepped up in heartwarming ways. The hospital has received a number of donations, including “dirt cheap” produce from a market that the hospital gave out to staff; donations of masks that Gomez was “very grateful” for because those masks will be given to hospital staff that are not on the COVID floors; and Dominoes recently treated ER staff to pizza.

“I want to thank the public,” Gomez said. “Everyone has been so supportive and so kind. People have put flowers on our front lawn and said, ‘Thank you healthcare heroes.’ They put some banners on our lawn last week, which was awesome, thanking the healthcare workers.”

his symptoms were at their worst.

He eventually broke his fever by March 23, and after several days without symptoms doctors eventually cleared him.

“That’s how they are clearing people who aren’t in the ICU is by using a 72-hour period of no symptoms,” he said, adding that although he was cleared, he self-quarantined through April 1 and has been working from home.

“Even though I was virus free, my energy levels were not 100% yet.”

Although his bout with the coronavirus put his campaigning for the City Council seat on hold, his campaign staff still kept busy.

“Because we have an active infrastructure, what we’ve done is shifted and started phone banking seniors using the voter file in the district,” he said. “We look who’s over 65 and give them a call and see if they need anything — just check in, because some of our seniors and elderly folks live by themselves and they’re not able to be social.”

His campaign is also helping coordinate grocery runs or other errands for District 9 residents unable to go out themselves.

BLOOD BANK CALLS FOR COVID-19 PLASMA DONATIONS Thanks to community response to the plea for blood donation amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the blood supply is currently stable both locally and across the nation. San Diego Blood Bank has issued a call for recovered COVID-19 patients, as they may be eligible to donate “convalescent plasma” to help treat patients fighting the virus.

While COVID-19 has no proven treatment, plasma taken from those who have recovered may help patients currently fighting the virus. This SEE NEWS BRIEFS, Page 10

HOME TURF

That Barrios is concerned for the residents of District 9 isn’t surprising. He has lived in the district his whole life, mostly in the City Heights neighborhood.

“I am the only candidate now that’s running that grew up in

District 9,” he said. “I grew up in a neighborhood that didn’t have enough street lights and when I would be walking home from high school with my group of friends, we would take detours around certain streets just because we didn’t want to go through streets that weren’t properly lit. And that was just the normal thing for us. There could be gang members on that street, so we would avoid certain houses — that was normal for us to be confronted with those kinds of situations.”

Barrios is the son of Central American immigrants. His father is a janitor at Kaiser Hospital and his mother runs a housekeeping business. He said his parents — especially his mother — have given him inspiration over the years for the way they worked to improve their lives.

“When [my mother] got to the United States, she was getting paid half the minimum wage and was abused as a worker and then turned into a small business woman,” he said, adding that his mother’s community involvement as a PTA president also inspired his own activism. “She always found ways to give back to the community and always pick ourselves back up.”

Barrios’ service to community started early. In high school, he served as a youth board member in the City Heights Town Council and was involved in the ROTC. His plan was to serve in the Marin Corps then utilize the GI Bill and go to college, but in his senior year at Serra High School he severely broke his leg.

“That derailed my plans,” he said.

So after high school, Barrios worked odd jobs and took courses at local junior colleges like Mesa College, Grossmont College and a technical school in Miramar, eventually learning to be an auto mechanic. He worked in that field for five years while studying to be a history professor at night, but again his plans were derailed when his uncle passed away and his mother took it badly and took time off from her work.

“So I started helping out my family and just picking up the slack,” he said. “I didn’t live with them, but I helped them out financially.”

In 2013, Barrios was working two full time jobs.

“I was a cook at night at a pizza restaurant and a mechanic during the day just to be able to help my family,” he said.

During this time, he also got more got politically active and was eventually elected to serve on his local planning committee, he said. And when his family was back on their feet, he started a small business with a friend doing consulting work for candidates and recruiting volunteers for their campaigns in 2014 and in 2016.

“That led me to meet Georgette Gomez,” he said. “That’s where our paths intersected and I got into more governmental roles.”

Barrios became a representative for Gomez’ District 9 City Council office after working on her campaign, which he said expanded his knowledge of policy and instilled in him a passion for transportation and housing issues. After his

Connecting generations through technology 2. Video Chat Video chat makes you feel as though everyone’s in the same room. Use apps like Skype or FaceTime to have a video conversation from virtually any device, and share life events such as graduations or weddings.

Four easy ways tech can help grandparents bond with younger family members Grandparents: a word often associated with presents, special outings, yummy food and unconditional love. Yet many Americans don’t talk to, or see, their grandparents as often as they’d like.

Here are four ways technology can help you connect with your grandparents.

1. Messaging Apps A recent study revealed that 73% of grandparents own smartphones.

Messaging apps like WhatsApp or Talkatone are a great introduction to texting for grandparents.

With messaging apps, you can send and receive text updates, photos and videos in one place. When there’s time for a longer conversation, you can use these apps to chat for free, as most don’t use cell minutes.

3. Gaming and Creativity Apps Apps like Magisto and PhotoFunia allow you to personalize photos and videos.

Looking for some friendly competition with your grandparents? Try a gaming app like Wheel of Fortune or Minecraft.

Or keep your grandparents updated with an app like Keepy, an interactive platform for sharing school projects and artwork.

Use family tree apps like Ancestry to discover photos and stories together as you navigate your family history.

4. Social Media Start a private Instagram account where you can post photos and videos.

Grandparents have lots to share as well, so encourage them to make their own Instagram handles and record their stories. This can be a unique way to learn about your grandparents’ past, pass down family memories or share family recipes.

Snapchat is another option for sending and receiving custom pictures or videos with a variety of fun filters and lenses.

stint working for Gomez, he took a job as director of community outreach for Laborers Local 89.

A RUN FOR OFFICE

Barrios said when his old boss Georgette Gomez made the decision to run for Congress, and vacate her City Council seat, at first he was encouraging other people to run to represent District 9.

“But in the early stages, I did not see folks that were from the community and have that understanding,” he said.

Familiarity with the district is important, Barrios said, because District 9 has a diverse set of challenges ranging from underserved neighborhoods like City Heights that need lots of resources to neighborhoods in the eastern part of the city like Rolando that are sometimes not heard.

“It’s a balancing act,” he said.

“I decided to run because I believe that at this time we need someone with experience that can get things done, that understands the different layers of the bureaucracy that gets in the way of us and also bridge people together.”

Barrios said he started his campaign in October with a focus on issues like housing, transportation and economic development, but after the coronavirus outbreak “there has been a shift” in his priorities.

“We no longer find ourselves in a position where we’re having some lean budget years here and there and things will get better. We’re looking at very, very drastic cuts,” he said, adding that “now more than ever,” District 9 will need a “fierce advocate” at City Hall.

“We’re going to be fighting for funds between the nine districts.

I want to make sure we’re getting our fair share,” he said. “And not just that, but planning ahead — what’s our plan to get out of this?

How will we restore services?

Because I’m sure some will be cut.”

How to Help Your Grandparents Only 44% of grandparents identify as tech-savvy.

Teaching non-tech-savvy family members how to use video chat and social media can be a bonding experience. You can also set your grandparents up with useful home features like the SURE Universal Remote, which allows them to control their TV and other devices from their smartphone. Less tech-savvy grandparents may not realize they can watch their cable TV content from their mobile device or schedule DVR recordings with apps like Cox Connect.

ESSENTIAL SERVICES YOU’RE OPEN AND READY TO SERVE YOUR CUSTOMERS

Giving your elders the power to connect helps build relationships with the people you love most, and that’s priceless at any age.

As an alternative to his in-person Theatre 627 course, MFA Theatre Program Director Robert Meffe, with the help of Stephen Brotebeck, Devon Hunt, and Eden Hildebrand, created the new SDSU Studio Series.

professionals. Each episode will be an informal conversation and Q&A sessions about the craft and the business of Broadway, utilizing the free online platform, Zoom.

The first episode that went online April 8, featured Laura Osnes, Broadway’s original Cinderella, Bonnie Parker, and Julia Trojan.

April 10 featured Mary-Mitchell Campbell, Broadway composer, orchestrator, music director, conductor, and the founder and co-executive director of ASTEP – Artists Striving To End Poverty.

Richard Maltby, Jr., a Tony Award-winning Broadway writer, lyricist, director, and producer was featured April 13; and Jeffrey Saver, a Broadway music director, conductor, arranger, and composer for Broadway greats like “Chita Rivera” was featured on April 15.

Meffe was inspired by the show “Inside the Actors Studio,” formerly seen on the Bravo channel, which featured in-depth interviews with actors and industry professionals about their acting process and craft.

“I want educators to incorporate this series into their curriculum and use it as a replacement for a class they can’t teach. It is a different, but very valuable, learning outcome for students worldwide,” said Meffe.

Meffe said he wanted to give hope to everyone who was blindsided by having to learn how to teach virtually in such a

“I wanted to do something big and show that SDSU is a leader in MFA education, and anyone who teaches musical theatre can count on us to help,” said Meffe.

Combining Mef fe’s and Brotebeck’s contact lists from their work on Broadway, they reached out to all of the industry professionals they knew to be a part of this Studio Series.

“The response was overwhelming,” said Meffe. “Within minutes I heard back from people.”

Each episode will air at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and last about 90 minutes.

All of the episodes will be recorded and posted online in a free archive for anyone to access, anytime.

As with most, if not all, schools in California, St. Kathrine Drexel Academy has temporarily closed to help do our part in flattening the curve of COVID-19. However, we want to still prepare for the future of SKDA. With the Bishop’s announcement of all Catholic school temporary closures in our diocese on March 13, SKDA was able to transform our curriculum to remote learning overnight, which is something we are very proud of. While we know nothing can replicate the social and physical experience of school (which we miss dearly), we are still able to continue to offer our students a robust and innovative curriculum where face-to-face conversations are still happening and the social emotional needs of our students are still being addressed.

Starting on March 16, students have been utilizing products from Google to stay active in their education, such as Google Classroom and Google Hangouts. Teachers have been able to check in with students as a class and one-on-one through daily “office hours” and scheduled conferences. Counseling services are also still being offered through Zoom to have our wonderful USD counselors check in

with students who might be struggling with this current reality. The school has also lent out devices to any family in need.

We’ve received such positive feedback from parents so far, and I wanted to share a comment from an SKDA parent of a third grade student” “I have so many friends that haven’t even heard from their schools and have no idea what the plan is. I know it has been a huge effort on your part and you will get some many questions but really such an amazing job and have never felt so justified in my school decision.”

While tours and shadow days are temporarily on hold, our enrollment for next school year is still open. We are able to email applications and our office is open if you would like to drop off any completed applications you have, as long as we all practice social distancing.

We know this is a challenging time for all families, but we still want you to know we are here for you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything or would like to set up a one on one Zoom session or phone call to talk more about our school.

OPINION / COMMUNITY Guest Editorial Community Council adopts virtual Saluting nation’s unsung heroes during protocols for meetings College Area Happenings COVID-19 pandemic

By STEVE JONES

In spite of the uncertainty that coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused, there are still many industries filled with hard-working men and women who are continuing to work amid the coronavirus outbreak. From hospitals to delivery services, to pharmacies, to grocery stores, transportation and logistics and security companies, there are many employees who, while they may not wear capes, are our nation’s heroes. These largely unsung heroes are helping our us survive this crisis by driving vehicles filled with crucial supplies, stocking store shelves, filling prescriptions and providing essential public safety services.

Now is the time to share your appreciation or our nation’s unsung heroes. While most of are deeply thankful for the doctors, nurses and emergency workers who are tending to the sick, we should also be appreciative for the men and women who hold essential jobs that require they show up to work during the pandemic.

The front line in the pandemic are the heroes working at grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores and take-out restaurants. These individuals are keeping us healthy by providing essential services that we desperately need. Consider thanking your supermarket’s shop clerk who is doing their best to keep the shelves stocked with necessities and the cashier who is ringing up the purchases. Express your gratitude to the

Amazon delivery person who brought essentials to your home.

Our nation should all honk in appreciation for the men and women driving tractor-trailer rigs across the country who are delivering vital food and supplies at an unprecedented pace.

Some police departments in several states are helping truck drivers find safe places to park and are even arranging to get food directly to the driver.

Let’s salute our hard-working highly trained men and women that are our country’s first responders. Nationwide, there are over 1 million security professionals on the job, classified as essential personnel, who can be put in high-risk situations as they confront and detain criminals engaged in theft, trespassing, gang activity and every other manner of unlawful behavior that occurs.

Employees, shareholders and other stakeholders look to their business leaders for strength and direction. Let’s express our gratitude to the company leaders who are sharing their intel to help others during this challenging time. For example, some leaders are publicly sharing their crisis plans, which include employee communications with information about COVID-19, how it’s transmitted, what they’re doing about it, employee FAQs, and links to resources with more information.

BY JOSE REYNOSO Even though it has always been talked about, none of us probably thought we’d be in the middle of a serious pandemic, but we are. Please follow all the recommended protocols and stay and keep everyone safe.

Despite the current situation, we are all finding ways to keep things going. The College Area Community Council and Planning Board is no exception.

Although the April meeting was cancelled, we plan to keep things moving forward, remotely. Our plan is to hold meetings virtually.

At our April meetings, we typically seat board members that have been either re-elected or newly-elected and elect new officers. This April, our plan was also to fill one seat, with a oneyear term that remained empty by board election of a new member that has met all the criteria for board membership.

Following the April meeting, the board meets at a special meeting/retreat to assign committee members, adopt a budget and set goals for the coming year.

Because all of the aforementioned items are, technically, internal operating processes of the board, the planning department has agreed that all of them can be addressed at what has been our annual retreat. We are taking

Noticing the small things

By PRASHANT BHARADWAJ

LA JOLLA

There are many people we should be thankful for during these times — from health care workers to neighbors putting up decorations to bring a smile to families as they take a walk — almost too many to mention in a small column in a local newspaper.

But as a resident of College View Estates, one of the things I am so thankful for is the gorgeous campus of SDSU next door. The folks who take care of the landscaping are truly doing a great job. At a time when walking outside alone

or with a few family members is an important source of physical exercise and mental solace, the plants, trees, and flowers at SDSU are a source of joy.

We are lucky as residents of College View Estates to have access to such landscaping.

I sometimes see other people from my community and nearby communities walk the grounds and I wonder if they notice the same things: the loquat tree laden with fruit by the Engineering building, the blooming African corral tree by Arts and Letters, and the flowerless rose bushes by Scripps Cottage that currently SEE CVEA, Page 9

College Area Community Plan status

advantage of this to test what we hope will be a short-term meeting strategy of meeting virtually.

The plan is to schedule meetings and notice them publicly, as mandated by law for both the board and committees. However, public access to the meeting, i.e. the meeting ID number and password (for Zoom), will be provided by requests made to president@cacc.org if any community member wishes to participate.

Our hope is that this process will prevent the hacking and “bombing” of virtual meetings that other groups have experienced.

The first test will be the community plan update committee meeting on April 22 and then the board retreat/special meeting sometime after that. As stated, our hope is that this will only be necessary for a short period of time. Please stay tuned for announcements regarding the meetings mentioned.

On another note, we have a vital community. Let’s keep it that way. Please support our local businesses! Consider ordering take-out or delivery from your favorite restaurants. If your other needs are typically met by a local business, find out if they’re open and patronize them, albeit, following safety protocols. They are vital members of our community and we are all in this, together.

As you know, the College Area Community Council has been working on ideas to present to the city when the city updates our community plan from the existing one written in 1989.

The CACC committee has been working for over two years gathering input from citizens at public meetings, local neighborhood groups, and soliciting feedback in various articles and email blasts. A steering committee of local residents and experts in the field, and an advisory committee representing SDSU, developers, and other stake holders finalized the report.

That report shall now be formally passed to the city planners who have been assigned to shepherd city staff to develop the complete plan, which will guide development in the College Area for the next 30 to 50 years.

The Community Plan Update Committee has been formed

with the city to assist the city planners in the development of that guide. They will be meeting with the city planners on an ongoing monthly basis using Zoom video meetings.

Members of the group are Saul Amerling as chair, Tait Galaway, Nathan Causman and Shannon Mulderig (city planners), Bob Higdon, Robert Montana, Josh Mello, Troy Murphree, Jose Reynoso, Jim Schneider, Tom Silva, and Angie Espinosa.

The Zoom meetings are open to the public and anyone interested can receive an invitation by contacting president@cacc. org. The next meeting will be on April 22 at 4:30 p.m. The agenda will consist of introductions, a review of public written feedback and responses, and discussion by the city planners of next steps in light of COVID-19.

April 17 – May 14, 2020 COMMUNITY College Times Courier sdnews.com 7 Alvarado Estates Association news Rolando Community Community coming together Council news

By SUSAN CLARKE CRISAFULLI

As the coronavirus has caused many of our lives to change drastically, it has not dampened our spirits!

The A lva rado E s t at e s Association has a social committee that plans events throughout the year. And now, being in limbo and not knowing when we will be allowed to socialize, the committee wanted to come up with an event that allowed for some break in the boredom but also follow responsible social distancing.

They came up with a Friday Pizza Happy Hour. Dang Brother Pizza, with its signature fire truck, served up wood fired pizzas. It proved to be so wildly popular that he will be coming every Friday for the month of April.

To ensure our members safety, they pick a time slot to arrive

at our community park between 4 and 7 p.m., which allows for a slow and steady pace. In addition, a pop-up tent at the curb creates a drive thru, and the HOA is requiring face masks and 10 feet of social distancing.

Several members have come forward with other ideas to help support the local community businesses, as well as helping neighbors with shopping. We are hoping Alvarado residents in masks pose for a selfie during to support another the Friday Pizza Happy Hour. (Courtesy photo) food truck and we’re even trying to source fresh fish help and support each other and and fruits and vegetables to help our greater community. those businesses. Hopefully this quarantine will be over sooner —Susan Clarke Crisafulli writes than later. But until then we are on behalf of the Alvarado Estates a community coming together to Association.

All April Rolando Community Council meetings and events have been cancelled. This includes the community meeting on the April 21, as well as any events regularly put on by the CIT and/or CET groups. Visit RolandoCC.org for updates about future meetings and events.

We encourage you to stay home as much as possible. If you need groceries picked up, email Jackie Flohr at Jackie@ RolandoCC.org and she will connect you with (Photo courtesy Rolando Community Council) someone nearby for everyone from whatever you assistance.

April 17 – May 14, 2020 REAL ESTATE / COMMUNITY College Times Courier sdnews.com 9 College Area real estate El Cerrito Community Council news amid coronavirus pandemic

By LAURA RIEBAU

By SARAH WARD

The national real estate market has somewhat slowed in the past few weeks, and that slowdown has included San Diego and the College Area.

There was a delay in the decline of closings as there were quite a few deals already in escrow in mid-March when the lockdown steps began. This year was going to be another very busy year in the local real estate market prior to the lockdown, but most of the deals in escrow last month have now closed and new escrows have slowed a bit.

One deal I was working on for a while was with a first-time buyer looking for a duplex and we went into escrow in mid-March. While we were able to get the physical inspections completed just prior to the lockdown, I finished the transaction primarily over Zoom by meeting with the parties over the face-time platform which worked quite well. It was actually quite convenient for all parties as we spent a total of several hours over the final two weeks of the transaction on Zoom discussing the results of the inspection, disclosures, and loan documents. While I had been using the online face to face software for a while, especially with out-of-town clients, I have started using this technology with local clients as well.

The online notary business has also seen a boom in recent business. A five-year-old company that performs real estate closings and notarizations online, Notarize, states it expects to complete $100 billion in real estate closings this year. The real estate industry was already slowly moving more processes to online, but it seems that the current lockdown will accelerate that trend.

The local market has not shut down and real estate transactions continue, new homes are coming on the market currently, banks are writing loans, and deals are closing. The demand for local real estate properties remains fairly strong and the National Association of Realtors only expects

a decrease of 10% in closed sales this year from last year.

Many expect this lockdown to end in the next month or so and for real estate transactions to get back to normal. Preapproved buyers are still searching for properties on the internet as usual, and quality properties at a good value are still going into escrow fairly quickly.

The difference between the 2008 to 2010 slowdown compared to now is that buyers and sellers currently expect this slowdown to be temporary.

The slowdown 12 years ago was a bit more scary because the length of the downturn was so unknown. Nobody was confident at the time on how long that recession, might last. Two years?

Five years? No one really knew at the time and the market prices dropped significantly as buyers dried up.

When buyers sense that prices are expected to decrease in the near-term, buyers will move to the sidelines. That is what happened in 2008, and home prices did then drop. However, currently, most feel this is just a very temporary slowdown, resulting in prices and transactions actually staying fairly steady for now.

92115 REPORT

For the month of March, 2020, closed sales for single family homes in 92115 was 18 compared to 37 this time last year. End of month inventory of homes available for sale was 25 homes compared to 62 this time last year, but the median sale price reached an all-time high of $607,000 compared to $530,000 year over year.

If the lockdown ends soon, I would expect a fairly steady and strong residential real estate market this summer as buyer demand will likely remain durable. If the lockdown continues into the summer, I will expect significant property price erosion.

We know many of our El Cerrito community members are wondering how they can help others right now, so here are a few ideas that are not only great for others, but good for your heart too: • Check on your neighbors. Contact your neighbors, especially elderly neighbors, to make sure they are okay and do not need anything.

Help supply each other’s needs. We are trying to not go out much, so someone might be short on certain items – toilet paper, paper towels, flour, cleansers, etc. If you feel safe, you can visit through

screen doors. If not, make a porch drop off so there is no contact.

• Give blood. The San Diego Blood Bank reports that their blood supplies are critically low. All healthy, eligible individuals are encouraged to schedule a blood or platelet donation Donating blood is a safe process and people should not hesitate to give or receive blood. The need for blood is constant, and volunteer donors are the only source of blood for those in need of transfusions.

• Explore ways to connect a nd volu nteer.

Nonprofits are working to continue to run their

programs and may need extra help.

• Donate food and money. If you are able to without shorting your own stock, donate food items to groups and churches that are helping supply food to more people right now or make money donations.

• Take care of yourself and your family! Make sure your family’s needs are covered. Reach out for help if you need anything. You can only help others when your household is healthy and its needs are covered.

The Mesa Colony group has not held a public meeting in several weeks.

Informally, members continue to check on each other by email and when walking the neighborhood for exercise.

A few weeks ago, a few neighbors held an afternoon cocktail party on the sidewalk, maintaining their social distancing.

While walking, I have noticed a few neighbors who have placed bears or other stuffed animals in windows to give the toddlers out

Many in the group continue to try to support our community restaurants by ordering and picking up take out granted, but the campus landscape is truly exceptional.

On a related note, the City of San Diego recently offered free tree planting in front of people’s homes. I hope residents of College View Estates and

is because the plasma has developed antibodies against the virus.

“Hospitals are reaching out to us on a daily basis for convalescent plasma,” said David Wellis, CEO, San Diego Blood Bank. “If anyone has recovered from the virus, we are calling on them to join us in helping patients in critical condition fight COVID-19.”

Individuals can donate convalescent plasma if they have a confirmed positive laboratory test and no symptoms for the last 28 days. People with a subsequent confirmed negative test can donate after 14 days of symptom resolution. People are encouraged to fill out the form even if they have not yet been tested. To submit contact information to be qualified as a convalescent plasma donor, visit sandiegobloodbank.org/donateplasma.

Donors will also need to meet routine donor screening criteria.

AVOID COVID-19 SCAMS

“The FBI has identified a new fraud scheme using text messaging and social platforms to reach potential victims,” said David Surwilo, San Diego Police Department community relations officer. “The message uses the promise of money, i.e., ‘stimulus check’ from retailer, Costco Wholesale, and provides a link, containing malware, ransomware or other fraudulent methods to steal identity, financial or other personal information.”

Added Surwilo: “The FBI is warning the public that Costco is not texting or using social media platforms to reach the public or its customers to provide a ‘stimulus check,’ ‘freebies,’ or a ‘stimulus package’ in fake messages. Do not click on this type of unsolicited link. Do not provide personal information for unsolicited links.”

LINCOLN CLUB CALLS FOR TASK FORCE TO RE-OPEN SD ECONOMY The Lincoln Club of San Diego County, a pro-business civic association representing over 300 local businesses, is calling on the mayor of San Diego and chairman of the board of supervisors to establish a task force to advise regional leaders on best practices for re-opening San Diego’s economy as soon as it’s safe and responsible to do so.

Industries and associations recommended by the Lincoln Club for this task force include business organizations like the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, the San Diego Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, the San Diego County Chapter of the California Restaurant Association, and other associations representing San Diego’s distressed economy.

The Lincoln Club is asking Mayor Kevin Faulconer and County Chairman Greg Cox to assemble a task force because of the devastating impact that the coronavirus and sheltering-in-place are wreaking on our local economy.
