White House plans less virus talk, more on recovery
By Zeke Miller
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — After two months of
frantic response to the coronavirus, the
White House is planning to shift President
Donald Trump’s public focus to the
burgeoning efforts aimed at easing the
economic devastation caused by the pan-
demic.
Days after he publicly mused that
scientists should explore the injection of
toxic disinfectants as a potential virus cure,
Trump has rejected the utility of his daily
task force briefings, where he often
clashed with scientific experts. Trump’s
aides are aiming to move the president
onto more familiar — and safer, they hope
— ground: talking up the economy, in
tighter controlled settings.
It’s a political imperative as allies have
seen an erosion in support for the

Making
ceremony
‘unique’ as
possible
Naval Academy to
virtually commission
midshipmen in May
By Selene San Felice
After canceling commissioning
week activities, the Naval Acade-
my announced it will virtually
commission midshipmen in the
Class of 2020.
In a letter to the Naval Academy
community Friday, Vice Adm.
Sean Buck wrote that he decided
to pursue a virtual ceremony after
consulting Gov. Larry Hogan, An-
napolis Mayor Gavin Buckley, the
Chief of Naval Operations and
current Acting Secretary of the
Navy.
“While everyone shared their
disappointment of not having an
in-person event to celebrate this
milestone, all were in unanimous
agreement,” Buck wrote.
“More guidance is forthcoming
on how we will make this ceremo-
ny as unique and as personal as
possible.”
The virtual ceremony will hap-
pen on May 22, according to
academy spokeswoman Cmdr.
Alana Garas. The video, which
Garas said will have recorded and
live segments, will be available on
Watchstadium and through op-
tions via television streaming serv-
ices.
Buck also encouraged Class of
2020 graduates to conduct private
swearing-in ceremonies and share
them with the academy. Private
swearings-in would occur if there
is an officer in the home of the
graduating midshipman who is
able to perform the duty in person
using the same script used at the
ceremony, Garas said.
“The Class of 2020 is being
commissioned in truly historic and
uncertain times,” Buck wrote, “and
as throughout our history during
peace and war, our nation and our
Navy turn to the Naval Academy to
produce graduates to lead and
serve the nation.”
The Air Force Academy in
Colorado held a scaled-down
commissioning ceremony April 18
with Vice President Mike Pence,
but with no crowd at its stadium
and the cadets practicing social
distance guidelines.
The ceremony was live-stream-
ed so families could watch cadets
march 6 feet apart to seats spread
across the center of the Colorado
Springs campus and toss their
covers in the air during a flyover by
the Air Force Thunderbirds.
The Naval Academy’s
COVID-19 FAQ page notes that a
ceremony like this is not possible
for its midshipmen because they
are not on campus. All of the Air
Force’s graduating cadets re-
mained on campus to complete
their spring academic term.
President Donald Trump has
said he plans to give the com-
mencement speech during an in-
person ceremony at the Military
Academy at West Point on June 13.
This would require the 4,000
cadets to return to campus. They
left for spring break and have
transitioned to online learning.
When she heard her grand-
daughter would not have an in-
person commissioning ceremony
like the cadets of West Point and
the Air Force Academy, Eileen
Foley, who lives in Annapolis, said
she was appalled. Midshipmen
like her granddaughter left their
uniforms and belongings in Ban-
croft Hall when they left for spring
break, Foley said.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s equita-
bly fair to single out one academy,”
Foley said.
“Where’s the leadership?
Where’s the brotherhood? If the
other two can do it, why can’t they?
I know this isn’t the biggest thing
in the world, but it’s a big thing to
my family.”
The academy also announced
that it will not be moving to a
pass/fail grading system despite an
online petition signed by more
than 1,000 people. Academic dean
and provost Andrew Phillips
wrote in a letter to the brigade that
data support his decision.
In a survey of faculty with “an
unprecedented” 91% response
rate, 83% said they can fairly assign
grades using the standard A-F
model, Phillips wrote. The acade-
my is tracking midshipmen facing
challenges outside their control to
ensure that they are not academi-
cally disadvantaged, Phillips
wrote.

CORONAVIRUS IN MARYLAND
State reports 30 more deaths
By Phil Davis
Maryland officials reported
Sunday that the state has con-
firmed 815 new cases of the
coronavirus, 30 of them fatal, a
decrease in both the number of
new cases and deaths one day
after the state reported its deadli-
est day of the pandemic.
Kata Hall, spokeswoman for
Gov. Larry Hogan, wrote on
Twitter that the state has con-
firmed18,581cases of COVID-19 in
total and that at least 827 people
have died due to the disease.
Hall added that 83 more people
in total have probably died due to
the disease or complications
brought about by the virus, al-
though those figures have not
been confirmed by laboratory
testing.
The decrease in deaths and
new cases comes after the state
saw a spike Saturday, when state
health officials reported that 74
people had been confirmed to
have died from the coronavirus in
a 24-hour period, the single dead-
liest day of the pandemic in the
state.
While the number of newly
confirmed cases shows a momen-
tary decrease, the state still has not
seen more than two consecutive
days in which the number of new
cases was lower than the day
before.
Michael Ricci, spokesman for
Gov. Hogan, wrote in an email that
the state tends “to have a lower
number of infections on Sundays”
but that the uptick in newly
completed tests is “encouraging.”
This month, the state bought
$9 million worth of supplies from
South Korea to administer
500,000 tests as governors across
the country continued to show
signs of frustration with the
Trump administration’s lack of
testing assistance.
Hogan said he would decide
about reopening the state’s busi-
nesses and lifting restrictions on
social gatherings once new cases
decrease for 14 consecutive days.

Police offices could open in old Sun building by July
By Talia Richman
The Baltimore Police Central
District offices could open in The
Baltimore Sun’s former building
downtown by July, city officials
announced.
The city’s spending panel ap-
proved the three-year, multi-
million dollar lease Wednesday
over an objection that the project
is too costly to undertake at a
time when Baltimore is facing a
major budget deficit because of
the coronavirus pandemic.
The roughly 170 officers as-
signed to the Central District
have been working out of a
cramped space in department
headquarters for more than a
year after their former offices
were shut down for emergency
repairs.
Police Commissioner Michael
Harrison said moving from their

Scott Gottlieb — the former
Food and Drug Administration
commissioner who joined
Hogan’s coronavirus response
team this month — wrote on
Twitter on Sunday that the coun-
try is “not out of the woods”
despite some declining figures.
“While there are signs of slow-
ing in some areas, and nationally
we may have hit a plateau, we’re
still recording more than 30K
infections a day,” Gottlieb wrote.
“The trip down the epidemic
curve will be far more [gradual]
than the trip up.”
He added that while some hope
the decline will be similar to the
increase of cases, much as it was in
China, the United States’ “miti-
gation steps were not as stringent
as China’s, they were leakier, and
our epidemic was far more perva-
sive across our country.”
He wrote that Americans
should expect a more gradual
decline in the number of new
cases, similar to Italy, which is still
reporting hundreds of new fatali-
ties per day, but saw its lowest
fatality count in six weeks Sat-
urday, Bloomberg News reported.
“We all want this to be over.
And things are mostly trending in
the right direction,” he wrote.
“But we’re still very much in the
thick of the epidemic.”
Hogan appeared on ABC’s
“This Week” and CBS’s “Face the
Nation” on Sunday morning to
talk about the state’s response to
the pandemic. He said on “Face
the Nation” that the state has been
able to handle the additional
pressure put on the health care
system but that Maryland was
seeing an increase in new cases.
“We can’t stop the virus, but at
least up until now, we have
stopped the overflow of our
health care system, the overbur-
dening of ICU [intensive care
unit] beds and ventilators,” Hogan
told host Margaret Brennan. “Our
hospitalizations and ICU beds are
starting to flatten, but our deaths
and our infections are starting to
go up.”
former office to a soon-to-be-
renovated building sends an im-
portant message.
“If we expect professionalism
from our officers,” he said, “we
owe them no less than a profes-
sional work environment in re-
turn and a place that they can
now call home, a place they can
now have pride in.”
It’s unclear how much the
renovations will cost the city. A
preliminary draft of the city’s
2021budget states that police will
use $1.2 million in asset forfeiture
funds to help pay for the move.
Comptroller Joan Pratt said
during Wednesday’s Board of
Estimates meeting that she could
not vote in favor of the lease
because of the cost. Atapco Prop-
erties, which owns the building,
will charge $1.7 million to $2.6
million a year in rent, along with
some additional charges.
“I’m concerned this lease is
As of Sunday, 1,463 Maryland-
ers are hospitalized with the
disease and 530 people are in
intensive care. Over 3,900 people
have been hospitalized with
COVID-19 at some point as of
Sunday.
Conversely, as many as 910
people have now died or can
probably have their deaths attrib-
uted to complications from the
disease. The past four days have
seen a combined 3,770 newly
confirmed cases, or about 20% of
all cases.
Hogan said on “This Week”
that the state has fielded “hun-
dreds” of questions about the
safety of ingesting household
cleaning products after President
Donald Trump raised the idea of
that possibly being a treatment for
the coronavirus.
The president later said he was
being sarcastic, although the tran-
script of his remarks suggests
otherwise.
The governor also pushed back
against Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell’s suggestion
that Maryland and other states
should consider filing for bank-
ruptcy, saying that there is biparti-
san support for emergency fund-
ing legislation to aid the states
affected by the pandemic.
While Hogan has touted suc-
cesses in aiding the state’s health
care system and procuring more
resources to test for COVID-19,
the state had to temporarily shut
down its new online portal, which
had been set up to streamline
unemployment claims, Sunday to
correct technical problems.
The Maryland Department of
Labor, Licensing, and Regulation
said officials were working to
resolve “technical issues with the
online BEACON application” and
had taken steps to retain informa-
tion submitted through the appli-
cation thus far.
The shutdown was the second
time the application has experi-
enced problems since its launch
Friday; the application crashed
during its first day after it was
not a good value for the taxpay-
ers,” Pratt said.
Baltimore officials expect to
end the fiscal year with a $42.3
million deficit, as restrictions
intended to slow the spread of
the coronavirus upend the local
economy. The city projects it will
bring in about $100 million less in
revenue next fiscal year, too.
Young said the new building
will end up saving the city money.
In addition to the Central Dis-
trict, other public safety units
will move into the renovated
building at 501 N. Calvert St.,
including fire department med-
ics, the Warrant Apprehension
Task Force and the Citywide
Robbery unit.
Consolidating those opera-
tions into one building is esti-
mated to save the city at least
$800,000 in deferred mainte-
nance over the next four years.

workers who looked to submit
claims. As of 5:30 a.m. Sunday,
over 99,049 accounts had been
activated, 56,200 claims had been
filed and 62,067 weekly certifica-
tions had been filed.
Black Marylanders continue to
be disproportionately affected by
the virus. There have been 6,742
confirmed cases of the virus
among blacks in the state, making
them the demographic group
most affected despite constituting
around 30% of the population.
Hall wrote that 4,276 out of the
18,581 cases have affected white
residents, who make up about half
of the state’s population.
About 15% of all confirmed
cases in the state, 2,841, have
affected the Hispanic population;
non-Caucasian Hispanics or Lat-
inos represent about 10% of the
state’s population, according to
the U.S. Census Bureau.
The state has yet to confirm the
demographic data of 3,652 con-
firmed cases, including 134 fatal
cases and 13 deaths probably
caused by the virus.
Prince George’s and Mont-
gomery counties continue to lead
the state in confirmed cases. The
two counties have at least 4,987
and 3,645, respectively.
The 20783 ZIP code — which
includes parts of Hyattsville, Adel-
phi and Langley Park in Prince
George’s County — continues to
lead in total cases, with 30 new
ones in the past 24 hours, bringing
the total to 447.
Silver Spring continues to see a
high number of cases as well, as
three ZIP codes associated with
the Montgomery County town —
20906, 20904 and 20902 — have a
combined 964 cases.
The 21215 ZIP code — which
includes parts of Northwest Balti-
more and Baltimore County and

home, where at least 170 cases of
COVID-19 have been confirmed —
now ranks fourth, with 329 con-

Saudis to end floggings,

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB
EMIRATES — Saudi Ara-

penalty for crimes commit-
ted by minors, according to
a statement Sunday by a top
official.
The decision comes on
the heels of another order-

with jail time, fines or com-
munity service and bringing
one of the kingdom’s most
controversial forms of pub-

most important for the
North — since assuming
power after his father Kim
Jong Il’s death in late 2011.
Kim’s health is of crucial
importance because of wor-
ries that the serious illness
or death of a leader vener-
ated with near godlike pas-
sion by millions of North
Koreans could cause in-
stability in the impover-
ished, nuclear-armed coun-
try.
Many experts in South
Korea downplayed specu-
lation that Kim is seriously
ill. They also said North
Korea won’t likely face a
serious immediate turmoil
even if Kim is incapacitated
or dies because someone
else, like his influential sis-
ter Kim Yo Jong, will
quickly step in, though the
prospect for the North’s
long-term political future
would be unclear.

criticism internationally.

six men from the country’s
minority Shiite community
who allegedly committed

Maryland officials will issue
grants to child care providers
By Hallie Miller
The Maryland State De-
partment of Education will
offer relief to child care
providers serving the chil-
dren of essential workers in
the state in the form of a
one-time grant.
In a statement, the de-
partment said providers
will each receive a $2,000
payment by this week. It
also pledged to offer “seam-
less, prompt” reimburse-
ments to providers in coor-
dination with the Maryland
comptroller’s general ac-
counting division.
The announcement
comes as providers criticize
the state’s handling of their
business since the co-
ronavirus forced schools to
close through at least mid-
May. The state made an
exception for licensed child
care providers, who can stay
open, but only for the chil-
dren of essential workers,
who do not have to pay for
their kids to attend.
This leaves gaping holes
in revenue, providers told

than 4 million voters state-
wide to allow them to
participate in a primary that
includes presidential and
Baltimore mayoral candi-
dates, while minimizing the
spread of the virus.
For now, below is every-
thing you need to know
about Tuesday’s election.
How can I vote?
Ballots have been mailed
to the approximately
500,000 voters in the dis-
trict, which includes parts
of the city of Baltimore and
the counties of Howard and
Baltimore.
State officials are encour-
aging voters to return their
completed ballots using the
postage-paid envelopes in-
cluded with the ballot.
Stamps are not required to
mail the ballots, although
the instructions mistakenly
mention that two stamps
are needed.
Just make sure your bal-
lot is postmarked by Tues-
day and includes your sig-
nature to ensure it will be
counted.
If you don’t feel comfort-
able mailing your ballot, you
can use one of the drop
boxes available in each ju-
risdiction. Starting Friday,
drop boxes were placed
outside the three local elec-
tions offices, and are avail-
able from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. On
Election Day, drop boxes
will also be available at
three in-person voting cen-
ters. Ballots must be in the
boxes by 8 p.m. Tuesday.
What if I don’t have a
ballot?
The deadline to mail
voters ballots has passed,
but voters may still be able
to get a ballot via email.
First, confirm you live in
the district using the state’s
voter lookup tool. Don’t be
surprised if you’re not; the
district’s boundaries are all
over the place.
If you live in the district
and your address is correct
in state records, call your
local elections office as soon
as possible to ask for a ballot
via email. The process isn’t
instantaneous. It could take
half a day to get a ballot.
Also, you’ll need to have
access to a printer to print
such a ballot. They cannot
be returned online.
If you cannot get a ballot,
you still have the option to
vote in person.

unable to pay the bills and
uncertain if they can re-
cover when the virus
abates. Others have contin-
ued to provide in-person
care and virtual lessons,
accumulating debt and
seeking full or partial tu-

nonessential workers, and
requesting donations of
supplies and snacks.
Maryland State Schools
Superintendent Karen B.
Salmon said providers
should be flexible in hon-
oring contract provisions,
but the state has not issued
firm guidance on whether
providers can charge any-
thing.
Although providers can
submit reimbursement in-
voices to the state education
department every two
weeks, some said the money
does not cover the ongoing
costs — particularly for
those used to being paid
weekly by parents — and
does not reach their bank
accounts quickly enough.
The state is currently
reimbursing centers at a
rate of $350 per week for
children 6 weeks old to 3
Where can I vote in per-
son?
Three in-person centers
will be offered Election Day
from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Baltimore City voters can
go to Edmondson High
School at 501 N. Athol Ave.
in Southwest Baltimore.
Baltimore County voters
can go to Martin’s West at
6817 Dogwood Road in
Windsor Mill. And Howard
County voters can go to the
Howard County Fair-
grounds at 2210 Fair-
grounds Road in West
Friendship.
But the centers are just
supposed to be for voters
who didn’t get a ballot by
mail, for those who couldn’t
obtain one via email or for
disabled people who can’t
use a paper ballot inde-
pendently (and therefore
privately). If you already
have a ballot, you are
strongly encouraged to re-
turn it via mail or use one of
the drop boxes.
State health officials have
been advising election offi-
cials on how to practice
social distancing while in-
side polling centers.
They’ve been instructed to
sanitize equipment and
keep voters as far apart as
possible.
How do I know if I live in
the 7th District?
Go online to the state
elections website and use
the voter lookup tool. You’ll
need to provide your name,
date of birth and ZIP code.
Once your record has
been located, click on the
“My Voting Districts” tab. If
your congressional district
number is seven, you are
eligible to participate.
Who is running?
Democrat Kweisi Mfume
and Republian Kimberly
Klacik are on the ballot.
Mfume, 71, is seeking to
reclaim the House seat he
left in 1996 to become presi-
dent of the NAACP. The
former Baltimore City
Council member repre-
sented the 7th District for a
decade and was chairman
of the Congressional Black
Caucus.
He calls himself “a prog-
ressive moderate,” saying he
is “very, very progressive”
on social issues, but “a little
more moderate” on fiscal
concerns.
Klacik, 38, founded a
nonprofit group that helps
disadvantaged women en-
ter the workforce, and is a
member of the Baltimore
years old and $250 a week
for kids ages 3 to13 — which
can be less than the weekly
cost of child care in the most
expensive parts of the state.
In the statement, Salmon
said false information circu-
lated on social media accus-
ing the comptroller’s office
of delaying provider pay-
ments.
“We regret that the
comptroller’s role in this
process has been mischar-
acterized,” Salmon said.
“The comptroller’s office, as
has always been the case on
matters such as this, has
been exceptionally respon-
sive, providing us with all of
the information we need to
authorize reimburse-
ments.”
She also said the state
education department has
worked diligently to ensure
child care services “are de-
livered in accordance with
the standards that Mary-
land families deserve.”
“We remain deeply
grateful to our providers
who are doing so much to
ease the burden on our
state’s essential workers,”
she said.

the district, then repre-
sented by Cummings.
That got the attention of
Republican President Don-
ald Trump, who attacked
Cummings and the district
on Twitter, calling Balti-
more “disgusting” and “rat
and rodent infested.”
When will we have re-
sults?
Don’t expect them right
away. While the number of
total ballots will be small
compared with a statewide
election, the counting proc-
ess is different.
As completed ballots
have arrived by mail, elec-
tions workers have stored
them under the date they
were received, “quarantin-
ing” the papers for at least
24 hours, said Nikki Charl-
son, deputy administrator
for state elections.
Elections officials began
counting ballots last week
and will continue counting
ballots as the documents
emerge from quarantine.
At 8 p.m. on Election Day,
elections officials will re-
lease the results of the
ballots they’ve counted so
far.
The ballots cast on Elec-
tion Day at voting centers
won’t be counted until the
next day, she said. The same
will be true for ballots
placed in drop boxes on
Election Day.
Additional results will be
released at least daily after
that point. It could take
multiple days to count all
ballots, depending on how
many are received.
As of Saturday, 84,927
vote-by-mail ballots were
returned — 23,933 in Balti-

States had substandard supply stocks

Machines and PPE
were left over from
the H1N1 outbreak
By David A. Lieb
and Cuneyt Dil
Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.
— Last autumn, when
schools were in session,
sports stadiums full and no
one had heard of
COVID-19, the Missouri
health department made an
eerily foreshadowing re-
quest.
It asked the state for
$300,000 to buy supplies in
case of a large-scale disease
outbreak. The goal was to
fill a gap between local and
federal sources.
Today, as states spend
billions of dollars in the
fight against the co-
ronavirus, that October
funding request appears
woefully insufficient. Yet it
highlights a stark fact:
States were not stocked for
a pandemic and have been
scrambling to catch up.
An Associated Press re-
view of more than 20 states
found that before the co-
ronavirus outbreak many
had at least a modest supply
of N95 masks, gowns,
gloves and other medical
equipment. But those were
often well past their expira-
tion dates — left over from
the H1N1 influenza out-
break a decade ago.
The supply shortage
stemmed from a variety of
factors — a decline in public
health funding, a cost-sav-
ing dependence on having
inventory on hand only for
immediate use and a belief
that the federal govern-
ment could come to the
rescue with its Strategic
National Stockpile.
In hindsight, the federal
stockpile proved insuffi-
cient for a nationwide viral
outbreak, and a worldwide
competition for scarce sup-

month in Los Angeles.
plies revealed the folly of
counting on rapid deliv-
eries.
The crisis spawned a
political blame game over
the shortage of protective
gear for medical workers
and the hunt for ventilators.
Some governors harangued
the federal government for
leaving them in the lurch.
President Donald Trump
faulted states, tweeting this
month: “The complainers
should have been stocked
up and ready long before
this crisis hit.”
Before the World Health
Organization issued a Jan. 9
advisory about the co-
ronavirus emerging in
China, Missouri had
663,920 N95 respirator
masks, 253,800 surgical
masks, 154,000 gloves,
17,424 face shields and
14,048 gowns. All were left-
overs provided by the Cen-
ters for Disease Control
after the H1N1 flu pan-
demic of 2009-2010, and
well beyond their shelf life.
Other states also were
relying on old supplies. Of-
ficials in California, Col-
orado, Connecticut, Illinois,
Michigan, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Mexico,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virgin-
ia, Vermont, Washington
and West Virginia all told
the AP their stashes in-
cluded at least some left-
overs from the H1N1 flu.
Some old N95 masks no
longer sealed properly on
people’s faces or had elastic
bands that disintegrated.
But a CDC study found that
many expired masks still
RICHARD VOGEL/AP
could work, and states dis-
tributed them to hospitals
and clinics.
Missouri, like some other
states, had spent nothing to
replenish the expired
equipment. And even when
asking for $300,000 last
October, the state Depart-
ment of Health and Senior
Services stressed it wasn’t
to build a big reserve.
“Since outbreaks and the
resources needed are not
predictable, purchasing a
large stock of supplies that
could expire or become
obsolete is not a responsible
use of state funds,” the
health agency said in a
budget document submit-
ted to Gov. Mike Parson and
state lawmakers.
That funding request for
the fiscal year that starts in
July still was pending in the
state House when Mis-
souri’s first coronavirus
case was confirmed last
month. Since then, Mis-
souri has ordered about
$40 million of protective
medical supplies for health
care workers and emer-
gency responders.
Missouri Health Direc-
tor Randall Williams told
the AP it didn’t make sense
to load up on supplies
without knowing what
might be needed. For exam-
ple, he said, bug spray
would have been more use-
ful than face masks during
the 2015-2016 epidemic of
the Zika virus, which is
spread by mosquitoes.
“If you spend money on
prevention and whatever
comes your way isn’t that,
then you have less money
for response” when an
emergency occurs,
Williams said.
Federal public health
funding for states has been
on a downward slide since
new programs were
launched after the 2001
terrorist attacks and an-
thrax scare. The Public
Health Emergency Pre-
paredness program pro-
vided $675 million last year
— down 28% since 2003,
according to the nonprofit
Trust for America’s Health.
The Hospital Preparedness
Program provided $265
million last year — down by
almost half during that
same period.
Colorado used to have
two medical stockpiles. But
the state received minimal
federal funding for storing
supplies from the H1N1
pandemic and none to buy
more. The stockpile in Den-
ver was dissolved last fall
and its remnants trans-
ferred to one in Grand
Junction. Those supplies
had all been distributed by
the beginning of March, as
the coronavirus was
spreading.
Ohio, like many states,
began storing some sup-
plies after the 9/11 attacks.
But its financial commit-
ment waned after each cri-
sis was averted, said Debo-
rah Arms, president of the
Ohio Nurses Association,
who led the state health
department’s prevention
division from the late 1990s
to 2008.
Michigan, which has the
third-highest coronavirus
death toll among U.S. states,
had 53,500 gloves left over
from past epidemics, 5,120
N95 masks, 5,000 surgical
masks and just 500 face
shields among its pre-co-
ronavirus supplies.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen
Whitmer said the state had
counted on the federal gov-
ernment to be prepared for
a pandemic.
“No one could have said
that they would come in
and build a state stockpile.
That’s never been the role
and the assumption,” she
said. “Yet if I could turn
back the clock, that’s pre-
cisely what we would have
started doing.”
Contrary to Trump’s as-
sertion that states bore the
primary responsibility for
stockpiling medical sup-
plies, many states had de-
pended on the federal gov-
ernment to store provisions
in case of emergencies.
New Hampshire’s emer-
gency operations plans call
for maintaining a small sup-
ply reserve, but then “very
much relying on the na-
tional stockpile for any-
thing more than, say a
week,” said state Health
and Human Services Com-
missioner Lori Shibinette.
Virginia Secretary of Fi-
nance Aubrey Layne said he
had viewed stockpiling
supplies as a federal re-
sponsibility.
“Are we probably going
to start stockpiling stuff
now?” Layne asked. “The
answer is yes.”

As virus restrictions ease, ing,” he said.

But Michigan Gov.
Gretchen Whitmer, a
Democrat, told ABC her

Spain lets kids play
as US states move
at various speeds
By Amy Forliti

Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Spain
let children go outside and
play Sunday for the first
time in six weeks as Europe-
an countries methodically
worked to ease their lock-
downs and reopen their
economies, while in the
United States, governors
moved at differing speeds,
some more aggressive, oth-
ers more cautious.
Elsewhere around the
world, China’s state-run
media said hospitals in
Wuhan, the original epicen-
ter of the disaster, no longer
have COVID-19 patients, af-
ter a crisis in which the city
recorded nearly 3,900
deaths. And British Prime
Minister Boris Johnson
planned to be back at his
desk Monday at No. 10
Downing St. after a bout
with the coronavirus that
put him in intensive care.
While governors in states
like hard-hit New York and
Michigan are keeping stay-
at-home restrictions in
place until at least mid-May,
their counterparts in places
such as Georgia, Oklahoma
and Alaska are allowing
certain businesses to re-
open. Churches in Montana
began holding in-person
services again Sunday.
The official death toll
from the virus topped
200,000 worldwide, with
over 2.9 million confirmed
infections, according to a
tally by Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity, though the real fig-
ures are believed to be much
higher, in part because of
inadequate testing and dif-
ferences in counting the
dead.
Italy, Britain, Spain and
France accounted for more
than 20,000 deaths each,
the U.S. for about 55,000.
Some encouraging signs
were seen, as Italy recorded
its lowest 24-hour number
of deaths since mid-March,
with 260, and New York
state registered its fewest
since late March, with 367.
Seven weeks into Italy’s
strict lockdown, Premier
Giuseppe Conte laid out a
long-awaited timetable for
getting back to normal, an-
nouncing that factories,
construction sites and
wholesale supply busi-
nesses can resume activity
as soon as they put safety
measures in place against
the virus.
Conte also said starting
May 4, parks and gardens
will reopen, funerals will be
allowed, athletes can re-
sume training, and people
will be able to visit relatives
living in the same region. If
all goes well, stores and
museums will open May 18,
and restaurants, cafes and
salons on June 1, he said.
But he warned if people
don’t wear masks and obey
social-distancing rules, “the
curve of contagion can rise
again, it will go out of
control, deaths will climb
and we’ll have irreparable
damage” to the economy.
In Spain, where the crisis
is also easing, the streets
echoed again with chil-

clatter of bicycles after
youngsters under 14 were
allowed out of their homes
with one parent for up to an
hour of play.
“This is wonderful! I can’t
believe it has been six
weeks,” Susana Sabate, a
mother of 3-year-old twin
boys, said in Barcelona. “My
boys are very active. Today
when they saw the front
door and we gave them their
scooters, they were thrilled.”

Pedro Sanchez will present
a detailed plan Tuesday for
the “de-escalation” of
Spain’s lockdown, saying:
“Maximum caution will be
our guideline for the roll-

part likewise said he will
unveil a “national decon-
finement strategy” on the
same day.
In the U.S., where Presi-
dent Donald Trump has
repeatedly pushed to re-
open the country for busi-
ness and a split has opened
among the states along often
partisan lines, Oklahoma
Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republi-
can, told Fox News that with
hospitalizations dropping in
his state, he will reopen
churches and restaurant
dining on Friday, with so-
cial-distancing guidelines in
place.
“We believe it’s the time
to have a measured reopen-
more robust testing, com-
munity tracing and a plan
for isolating people who get
sick with COVID-19.
“We’ve got to be nimble
and we have to follow the
science and be really smart
about how we reengage,”
she said, “because no one —
no one, even if you’re a
protester or you’re the sit-
ting governor or you’re on
another side of the issue —
we know that no one wants
a second wave.”
In Montana, some
churchgoers returned to
Sunday services as a general
stay-at-home order expired.
At Christ the King Lutheran
Church in Billings, every
other pew was kept empty.
Roughly 100 people stream-
ed into St. Anthony Catholic
Church in Laurel, where
ushers tried to keep families
separate from one another
and large bottles of hand
sanitizer were at the sanctu-

Heart, stroke patients stay home amid COVID-19 crisis

By Gina Kolata
The New York Times
Bishnu Virachan was a
bicycle deliveryman for a
grocery store in Queens.
With New York City locked
down, he was busier than
ever.
But in early April, as he
was watching television, he
felt “a pain in my heart.” It
frightened him, but he did
not go to the emergency
room. Virachan, 43, was
even more afraid of that.
“What can I do? What
can I do?” he asked. “Every-
where, the coronavirus.”
After a few days, pain
overrode fear and he went to
Mount Sinai Hospital in
Manhattan. Doctors discov-
ered a nearly complete
blockage of his left main
coronary artery.
A surgeon opened the
artery, but Virachan was left
with a weakened heart. Had
he waited much longer, doc-
tors said, he would have
died.
Fear of the coronavirus is
leading people with life-
threatening emergencies,
like a heart attack or stroke,
to stay home when ordinari-
ly they would have rushed to
the emergency room, pre-
liminary research suggests.
Without prompt treatment,
some patients have suffered
permanent damage or have
died.
Emergency rooms have
about half the normal num-
ber of patients, and heart
and stroke units are nearly
empty, according to doctors
at many urban medical cen-
ters. Some medical experts
fear more people are dying
from untreated emergencies
than from the coronavirus.
A recent paper by cardi-
ologists at nine large medi-
cal centers estimated a 38%
reduction since March 1 in
the number of patients with
serious heart attacks coming
in to have urgently needed
procedures to open their
arteries.
On a recent day at the
Cleveland Clinic, there were
only seven patients in the
24-bed coronary care unit.
Usually the unit is full.
“Where are the patients?”
asked Dr. Steven Nissen, a
cardiologist there. “That
can’t be normal.”
One of the few was a man
who lives in Cleveland. Ac-
cording to Nissen, the man
felt chest pain while doing
pushups but feared going to
the hospital because there
might be coronavirus pa-
tients there. He stayed home
for a week, growing weaker
— out of breath with the
slightest exertion, his legs
swelling. Finally, on April 16,
he went to the Cleveland
Clinic.
What should have been
an easily treated heart attack
had progressed to a life-
threatening disaster. He sur-
vived after a dicey operation
and spent nearly a week in
intensive care, including
several days on a ventilator,
Nissen said.
The inpatient stroke unit
at Stanford University Med-
ical Center in California
usually has 12 to 15 patients,
said its director, Dr. Gregory
Albers. On one recent day in
April, there were none at all,
something that had never
happened.
Yet few COVID-19 pa-
tients have been admitted to
the hospital, and people
needing emergency treat-
ment have little to fear.
“We prepared for an on-
slaught, but it has not ar-
rived,” Albers said.
Dr. Samin Sharma, who
heads the cardiac cathe-
terization lab at Mount Sinai
Hospital in New York, said
the number of heart attack
patients fell from seven in
February to three in March.
So far in April there have
been only two.
It’s not just the United
States. Dr. Valentin Fuster,
editor of the Journal of
American College of Cardi-
ology, said he is getting so
many papers from around
the world on the steep
decline in heart attack pa-
tients in hospitals that he
simply cannot publish them
all.
A hospital in Jaipur, In-
dia, for example, that
Sharma owns, treated 45
heart attack patients in Jan-
uary, he said. In February,
there were 32, and in March,
12. In April, so far the
number is just six.
Researchers in Austria es-
timated that in March 110
citizens died from untreated
heart attacks, compared
with 86 who died of
COVID-19. They based their
calculations on a precipitous
decline in patients going to
hospitals, the expected
number of heart attacks in
Austria and the mortality
rates of untreated heart at-
tacks.
At the moment, it is
nearly impossible to know
who is not showing up in
emergency rooms, and why,
said Dr. Harlan Krumholz, a
cardiologist at Yale Uni-
versity.
“You can’t find the dog
that doesn’t bark,” he said.

Ex-NASA official resigned after disaster parents, Louis and Matel

Associated Press
BETHESDA — Former NASA adminis-
trator James Beggs, who led the agency
during the early years of the space shuttle
program and resigned after the Challenger
disaster killed seven astronauts in 1986, died
Thursday at his home in Bethesda. He was
94.
Congestive heart failure is suspected to
be the cause of his death, according to one of
his sons, Charles Beggs.
President Ronald Reagan nominated
Beggs to become the sixth administrator of
the National Aeronautics and Space Admin-
istration. He served in the agency’s top
position from July 1981 to December 1985.
Beggs was on a leave of absence from the
post when the Challenger space shuttle
broke apart 73 seconds after launch on Jan.
28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts aboard,
including New Hampshire schoolteacher
Christa McAuliffe.
Beggs’ resignation took effect nearly a
month later. Charles Beggs recalled asking
his father years later why he resigned. He
said his father told him that NASA needed
to move on from the disaster with strong
leadership that he couldn’t provide under
the circumstances.
“Instead of hanging on, he resigned for
the good of the organization,” Charles Beggs
said. “It wasn’t about him. It was about
others.”
Charles Beggs said his father was proud
to receive a NASA award named after
Robert Goddard, a pioneer in the rocketry
field.
NASA had more than 20 successful space
shuttle missions during Beggs’ tenure. The
Washington Post described him as a popular
and charismatic figure who was skilled at
dealing with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
“There is no telling where our vision and
imagination will lead us once we have the
space station,” he said in 1985, according to
the newspaper. “As Shakespeare put it,
‘Thoughts are but dreams till their effects be
tried.’ ”
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine
said Beggs’ work on the space shuttle
program helped NASA “open a whole new
era of exploration.”
“We continue to build on his legacy today
as we take advantage of our long-term
presence in low-Earth orbit to make the
advances to travel farther, and seed an
entirely new segment of the economy
through the innovations of commercial
partners,” Bridenstine said in a statement.
Beggs, a Pittsburgh native, graduated
from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1947 and
served in the Navy until 1954. He was an
executive vice president and a director of
General Dynamics Corp. before becoming
NASA administrator.

4,000 correctional officers in the system.
Additional supplies are going to protect
the inmates themselves from the spread of
the disease, and then inmate-produced
gear will go to other state agencies, Green
said.
Even Gov. Larry Hogan has worn a
black mask made by the inmates.
“The mask that I was wearing was made
by prisoners at the Maryland correctional
facility,” the Republican governor said as
he recently toured a field hospital being set
up at the Baltimore Convention Center.
“They’re very happy to be doing this and
be part of the solution. They’re excited to
be in some way helping their fellow
Marylanders.”
The operation run by Maryland Correc-
tional Enterprises comes while the co-
ronavirus pandemic continues to spread
behind bars. More than 150 people who
work or live in Maryland’s prisons have
been infected with COVID-19, including 39
inmates. Outbreaks have been detected at
11 institutions. One prisoner, a man in his
60s, died from the disease.
The prisons involved in the manufac-
turing include the Eastern Correctional
Institution in Westover on the Eastern
Shore, the Maryland Correctional Train-
ing Center in Hagerstown, and both the
Maryland Correctional Institution and the
Maryland Correctional Institution for
Women in Jessup.
Green said the inmates in the program
wear protective gear while working and
follow U.S. Centers for Disease Control
social distancing guidelines. His office
supplied photos of workers wearing full-
body protective suits.
“The inmate population that works in
these programs, in a human crisis, they are
pleased and proud of the opportunity they
have to lend a hand to the community and
try to make a difference,” Green said.
Prison officials did not provide details
about how much the inmates were being
DACA
From page 1
justices in November that ending DACA
was “reasonable” because the Obama
administration policy was illegal in the
first place. The parties mounting legal
challenges said the abrupt ending of DACA
was unjustified.
While it’s possible a ruling could be
postponed until the next term, the justices
are expected to make a decision before the
end of June. Immigration attorneys say it
can happen any week.
“That really freaks me out because my
whole life is here,” said Rodas, who was
brought to Maryland as an11-year-old by his
mother. She feared he and his brother
would be killed or recruited into gangs in El
Salvador.
Now, he is a full-time operating room
support assistant and nursing student at the
Community College of Baltimore County.
“This is where I have my family, my
friends.”
Those who work closely with immi-
grants say that eliminating the program
would have ripple effects in the communi-
ties where they have deep roots. Not only
are they already vulnerable in many ways,
with less access to health care and
government services, but many also are
working in key professions across the
country, advocates say.
“They are our children’s teachers, our
health care workers, and an essential part of
our economy and community,” said Lydia
Walther-Rodriguez, the Baltimore director
for CASA, an advocacy group for Latino and
immigrant people in Maryland, Pennsylva-
nia and Virginia.
About 60% of all DACA recipients are
part of Maryland’s workforce. The most
common industries of employment are
food prep, sales, office and administrative,
healthcare and healthcare support, con-
struction, and building and grounds
cleaning and maintenance, according to an
analysis from the nonpartisan Migration
Policy Institute.
Despite his uncertain future, Rodas says
he feels compelled to assist the nurses he
looks up to, and make sure patients get the
care they need.
“This was my calling,” the Halethorpe
man said. “I want to help people out.”
Another DACA recipient, Missael Gar-
cia, not only works at an elementary school,
but he is also a long-time community leader,
volunteering at a local food bank during the
pandemic.
“I consider myself part of this city — part
of this country, to be honest,” said Garcia,
29, who moved to Baltimore from Mexico
when he was 12.
Before DACA, Garcia worked in con-
struction, hotels and restaurants. The
introduction of DACA in 2012 opened new
opportunities for him.
Under the initiative, undocumented im-
migrants were eligible to work legally and
shielded from deportation if they met a set

paid, but said they were receiving a type of
emergency bonus pay. Maryland Correc-
tional Enterprises typically pays its inmate
workers between 17 cents to $1.16 an hour,
state records show.
Prison officials also declined to allow
The Baltimore Sun to interview inmates
involved in the work.
Officials did allow a few inmate workers
to record video statements to send to The
Sun about the jobs they’re doing.
“It’s an honor,” one worker said in a
video. “On behalf of the men here at MCE,
we’re honored to be able to participate in
this endeavor to help with the greater
good of society. We not only want to leave
here and be productive members of
society, but we’re starting in here by being
productive.”
State Sen. James Rosapepe, a Democrat
who represents Anne Arundel and Prince
George’s counties, said he thought it was
“terrific” news that the protective gear
made by inmate workers was going out to
both prison staff and the incarcerated.
“Prisons are like colleges and nursing
homes,” Rosapepe said. “They’re in very
close quarters. Folks who are institutional-
ized are at particular risk. I’m glad they’re
starting to protect the prisoners, as well as
the staff.”
Even so, Rosapepe said, he’s heard
concerns from union officials who repre-
sent correctional officers that the masks
produced by the Maryland Correctional
Enterprises are not the N95 respirator
masks used in health care settings.
Patrick Moran, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees Maryland Council 3
union, said union leaders had to push the
state for weeks to equip correctional
officers.
“They finally made the face masks
mandatory, after we kept on pushing them
for a month,” Moran said. “The officers
have face masks; they have face shields;
they have gloves and sanitizer. But they’re
not proper [protective gear]. They’re not
the proper N95 masks. The masks are fine

HANDOUT
Jonathan Rodas, 25, a DACA recipient,
awaits a Supreme Court ruling that could
determine whether he can stay in the U.S.
of requirements, passed a stringent back-
ground check, and paid a $500 application
fee to renew it every two years.
Garcia is now a teaching assistant for
English language learners at Lakeland
Elementary/Middle school, where he’s
mentored students for two years.
“I found my place where I belong, and I
love it,” Garcia said. But he’s worried about
providing for his wife and two daughters.
The imminent decision during the pan-
demic has left him in a state of anguish.
“It’s very overwhelming,” Garcia said. “I
cannot afford to be sick. I cannot afford to
not have a job.”
While the coronavirus crisis has up-
ended life for everyone, Nick Katz, legal
program manager at CASA, says DACA
recipients and other undocumented immi-
grants have been hit particularly hard
because they don’t have the same access to
government resources.
DACA recipients pay taxes but are not
eligible for public benefits such as cash
assistance, food stamps or Medicaid. They
are not eligible to apply for health insurance
through the Maryland Health Connection,
according to the state department of health.
And on Wednesday, DACA students were
left out of the federal emergency aid plan by
the U.S. Department of Education.
Critics argue that DACA should be
terminated because it entices parents to
stay in the country without authorization.
“The fact that they have been allowed to
stay and allowed to work sends a message
all around the world to parents, that it’s
worth it to come here on vacation and then
never leave,” said Roy Beck, President of
NumbersUSA, a low-immigration advo-
cacy group in Virginia.
Beck acknowledges that ending DACA
will cause a disruption to the lives of many.
But he believes it could force the president
and Congress to come up with a permanent
solution, something he argues would stop

fine in a prison.”
Julie Magers, who leads the Maryland
Prisoners’ Rights Coalition, said she’s not
surprised that the inmates involved in the
operation take pride in their work.
“They’re proud to do good work, of
course,” Magers said. “I’m sure they’re
very happy to be helpful. Most of them are
happy to get out of their cell.”
But she said the inmates should be paid
much better, and that incarcerated indi-
viduals should be outfitted with the same
protective gear that officers have.
“They’re making all these masks. When
are they going to see protective PPE?”
Magers asked. “The amount of pay is
completely inadequate for what they’re
doing.”
Under pressure from advocates, prison
officials in recent weeks have taken steps
to try to reduce the population of correc-
tional facilities to help slow the spread of
the virus.
Hogan signed an executive order last
week to expedite the release of hundreds
of inmates. The order speeds up the
release of inmates who were already
eligible to be released within the next four
months and the processing of inmates
eligible for home detention. The order also
directs the Maryland Parole Commission
to accelerate consideration of parole for
inmates convicted of nonviolent crimes
who are older than 60, have a good record
while incarcerated, and have an approved
plan for reentry to society.
State officials estimate the executive
order will result in the early release of
about 800 additional inmates.
About 18,400 people are in state correc-
tional custody. Since March, the popula-
tion of people incarcerated at state-run
prisons and jails has declined by about 650.
Magers said the only way to ensure
prisons remain safe from the virus is to
continue to lower the number of inmates.
She said the health care system behind
bars is “kind of a mess.”
“They need to de-carcerate as much as
possible,” Magers said. “De-carceration is
the only way to really fix the problem.”
people from entering the workforce il-
legally.
It was such sentiments that helped drive
the Trump administration’s move to end
DACA in 2017. But lower courts blocked the
plan, and the case wound all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
During oral arguments in November, the
U.S. Justice Department said the govern-
ment was within its right to end DACA
because it was meant to be a “temporary
stopgap measure” and the policy in itself
violated federal immigration law. The
challengers argued that the government
failed to provide a legally sound explanation
for abruptly ending a government program
that was supported and implemented for
five years.
In a November Tweet, President Donald
Trump claimed he would strike a deal for
dreamers with Democrat lawmakers if the
justices allow the program to end. Advo-
cates worry that would mean more immi-
gration enforcement, which would break
apart dreamers from their families, many of
whom are undocumented.
The Public Information Office of the
Supreme Court did not respond to requests
for information on the case. The U.S. Justice
Department declined to comment “due to
ongoing litigation.”
And with the coronavirus, the case has
stirred more attention.
In April, members of Congress, including
Maryland’s Democratic senators, Chris Van
Hollen and Ben Cardin, sent a letter urging
Trump to automatically extend work au-
thorizations for DACA recipients and other
immigrants.
On April 20, the Supreme Court ac-
cepted a new filing by lawyers for the
DACA recipients, asking the court to
consider the “catastrophic” impact that
ending the program would have on the
economy and on public health measures.
It remains unclear if the U.S. Immigra-
tion and Customs Enforcement agency
plans to go after DACA recipients based on
the Supreme Court decision. In an email, a
spokesperson for ICE pointed to a March
statement that says the agency will focus
enforcement on “public safety risks and
individuals subject to mandatory detention
based on criminal grounds.”
Meanwhile, those with DACA protection
try to put it out of their minds and focus on
the day-to-day.
Garcia is most concerned with helping
his fifth- and sixth-graders with the
challenges that come with online learning
and raising his 2-year-old daughter.
“I’m a man of faith, I’m a man of God,”
said Garcia, “ and I know he’s gonna help us
overcome everything that is happening.”
Meanwhile, Rodas tries to stay positive
and reminds himself of why he shows up to
the hospital every day.
“I’m here because patients need our
help,” Rodas said Thursday, during a break.
“I wish I could do more.”
He plans to finish the spring semester
virtually and keep patients calm in a
chaotic situation, for as long as he’s able.

asset in the reelection campaign — his
ability to blanket news headlines with
freewheeling performances — has be-
come a daily liability. At the same time,
new Republican Party polling shows
Trump’s path to a second term depends
on the public’s perception of how
quickly the economy rebounds from
state-by-state shutdowns meant to slow
the spread of the virus.
Some states have started to ease
closure orders and Trump is expected to
begin to highlight his administration’s
work in helping businesses and employ-
ees. Aides said the president would hold
more frequent roundtables with CEOs,
business owners and beneficiaries of the
trillions of dollars in federal aid already
approved by Congress and begin to
outline what he hopes to see in a future
recovery package.
Trump last left the White House
grounds in March and plans are being
drawn up for a limited schedule of travel
within the next few weeks, an aide said.
It would be a symbolic show that the
nation is beginning to reopen.
The shift comes in conjunction with
what the White House sees as encourag-
ing signs across the country, with the
pace of new infections stabilizing and
deaths declining. Still, medical experts
warn that the virus will remain until at
least a vaccine is developed and that the
risk of a severe second wave is high if
social distancing is relaxed too quickly or
if testing and contact-tracing plans aren’t
developed before people return to nor-
mal behaviors.
The White House is deliberating
whether to continue to hold news
briefings in a modified form without
Trump, potentially at a different loca-
tion. Before Trump said in a tweet
Saturday that they were “Not worth the
time & effort,” aides had been eager to
use the briefings to highlight positive
trends and to overwhelm Americans
with statistics. It was an effort to restore
confidence in the response so that the
public would be comfortable resuming
more normal activities.
“We know that’s important,” Dr.
Deborah Birx, the White House co-
ronavirus task force coordinator, told
Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning
Futures.” “We understand those mes-
sages of science and policy need to be
brought forward to the American people
in a nonpolitical way.”
Few Americans regularly look to or
trust Trump as a source of information
on the pandemic, according to a survey
from The Associated Press-NORC Cen-
ter for Public Affairs Research released
last week.
On Monday, the White House was
expected to release a recap of what the
federal government has done so far to
improve the availability of COVID-19
testing, personal protective equipment
and ventilators. Still, governors in both
parties say much more is needed,
particularly in testing, in the coming
months, as they deliberate how and
when to reopen their states.
“I want to get our economy back
opened just as soon as we can, but I want
to do so in a safe way so we don’t have a
spike, we don’t cause more deaths, or an
overloading of our health care system,”
Gov. Larry Hogan, R-Md., told ABC’s
“This Week.”
Birx expressed frustration that
Trump’s injection comments were still
in the headlines, illustrating the tensions
that have emerged between the presi-
dent and his medical advisers.
“As a scientist and a public health
official and a researcher, sometimes, I
worry that we don’t get the information
to the American people that they need,
when we continue to bring up some-
thing that was from Thursday night,” she
said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
As the White House hopes it has
turned a corner, it is also beginning to
assess responsibility for critical mis-
steps. Two senior administration offi-
cials said Trump has begun discussions
about replacing Health and Human
Services Secretary Alex Azar, who led
the coronavirus task force during its
initial weeks and has been blamed for a
culture of bureaucratic infighting during
that period. Azar has been largely
sidelined since Vice President Mike
Pence took charge.
Trump on Sunday denied that he was
going to fire Azar in a tweet, saying “Alex
is doing an excellent job!”
“I want to get our
economy back opened
just as soon as we can,
but I want to do so in
a safe way so we don’t
have a spike.”

State’s essential child care

providers are on the brink
of disaster amid pandemic



Thank you for your thorough coverage
of the issues facing Maryland’s child care
community during the COVID-19 pan-
demic and beyond (“Maryland child care
providers struggling to pay the bills as
coronavirus rages on,” April 21). The
stories told from the perspective of pro-
viders and parents are ones I hear often
and from all across our state.
The evidence is more than anecdotal.
The National Association for the Educa-
tion of Young Children conducted a
national COVID-19 survey: “Effects of the
Pandemic on Child Care. NAEYC found
that 33% of Maryland child care programs
say they would not survive closing for
more than two weeks without significant
public investment and support that would
allow them to compensate and retain staff,
pay rent and cover other fixed costs,” while
20% would not survive a closure of any
length of time without such support.
Imagine if those statistics came from any
other sector of Maryland’s economy —
banking, defense or even horse breeding.
Citizens would be outraged and demand
action.
Yet a collapse of the child care system
would pose enormous if not insurmount-
able barriers to getting these and all other
industries fully operational and citizens
back to work.
If crucial and immediate steps to protect
and sustain child care are not taken,
economic recovery could be severely
undermined.
Child care was deemed an essential
service during this crisis. Thousands of
providers kept their doors open to make
sure Marylanders could be safe, fed and
their health care needs met. Like other
essential workers, child care providers
don’t want to be applauded or called
heroes.
What counts is support from policy-
makers that recognizes child care pro-
viders are essential even during the best of
times.
Without that, not only will the economy
falter but our children and grandchildren
will suffer too.

ties Head Start of Baltimore City.
Virtual health care extends
to mental health as well in
time of great uncertainty
I want to commend The Baltimore Sun
for highlighting the diligent work of area
hospitals to create virtual access to health
care for Marylanders in response to the
COVID-19 crisis (“The doctor is always in,”
April 20). However, we may have missed
an opportunity by not highlighting virtual
mental health care as a crucial component
necessary to ensure the health and well-
being of all Marylanders.
Sheppard Pratt and other mental health
care providers around the region now offer
a multitude of clinical services via tele-
health. These services include teletherapy
and telemedicine for individuals needing
ongoing psychotherapy and medication
management. Further, providers are also
offering group treatments as well as more
intensive outpatient programs for sub-
stance use and mental health disorders.
A pandemic can be a time of great
uncertainly, triggering disruption in other-
wise stable services as well as a mental
health crisis for individuals and their
families.
Sheppard Pratt’s recently announced
Virtual Crisis Walk-in Clinic helps meet
the need of these patients across Maryland
by providing timely care. These services
have also helped alleviate pressure from
the already busy emergency rooms during
the pandemic.
Now, beyond the current pandemic, I
am an ardent advocate for telehealth.
Limited access to mental health care poses
a significant challenge. Health care dispar-
ities continue to exist and poor access due
to provider shortages is a primary driver.
Telehealth can be a game changer and a
potential equalizer bringing care to those
who struggle with access to quality health-
care.
It also has the advantage of being
incredibly convenient for the patient,
making it more likely to be utilized.
Further, many of our patients do not have
easy access to transportation. Telehealth
removes this barrier.
Finally, there are several mental health
conditions that make the physical exertion
of going to see a provider in person far
more taxing than a virtual appointment.
For example, patients with anxiety and
depression find it easier to turn on a
computer screen than travel to an appoint-
ment. Telehealth allows us to offer appro-
priate level of care to these patients.
Prior to the pandemic, we were in the
midst of suicide and opioid epidemics.
Telepsychiatry has been a growing and
important component of mental health
care and has proven invaluable given the
shortage of mental health providers in
Maryland.
For these reasons and more, I believe it
will and should remain an important
component of mental health care long after
the pandemic.

tient services at Sheppard Pratt Health

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK
Five things we’ve learned
from six weeks of lockdown
Back in March when America had open shopping malls and
movie theaters and the opportunity to see them in person, the
concept of staying home seemed not so onerous. (Aside from
those of us who were clearly worried about toilet paper supplies).
Spend more time with the family. Either get some time off the job
or work in peace online. Maybe catch up on Netflix. That lasted
maybe two days. Soon, members of our household realized that
stay-in-place, however necessary to slow the spread of a
contagion, could feel remarkably like home detention. The
pandemic grew worse. Things got a little scarier. And we
struggled to redefine our lives in the midst of a deadly COVID-19
outbreak and the economic morass that has followed.
The Jensen family would like to report it’s been all sunshine
and roses and cartoon unicorns. It has not. But we have learned.
And, after a month and a half of living this new reality, we have
made some discoveries that can be passed down to future
generations — assuming that stay-in-place orders are eventually
lifted, there isn’t a return to them later this year or next, a vaccine
is eventually discovered and tested, and, well, you know the drill.
Here are the top five:
1. Be kind. Hey, this doesn’t come naturally to those of us who
make a living writing opinions. But everything, and we mean
everything, works better in a household that lives by this rule.
And we are not just talking about being kind to those who live
under the same roof, we try to be kind to neighbors, to colleagues,
to those we encounter at the grocery store, to the postal carrier
and on and on. Recently, we dispatched two cups of cake flour to
a neighbor whose daughter wanted to recreate Berger cookies.
The next day, samples of those cookies, chocolate frosting and all,
were placed at our door.
Oh, we’ll admit there are challenging moments, such as when
a certain occupant of the White House takes to the podium in the
evenings to suggest that the country needs tests or, on another
occasion, that it doesn’t need tests. Or when this same person
claims coronavirus isn’t going to be a problem in the U.S. and then
insists he always said it would be. Or when this nameless
individual speculates that scientists should be studying injecting
disinfectants or a “powerful” light into the body. Anyway, happy
thoughts, happy thoughts.
2. Don’t claim to know something you don’t. A lot of parents
have found themselves at odds with their kids over school work.
It hasn’t been easy. Whether it’s a lesson presented online or
contained in a wad of papers, your children may have questions,

perhaps simply how to run Zoom. The biggest mistake would be
to pretend you remember high school calculus when you don’t or
even how to diagram a sentence when you can’t quite recall the
difference between a participle and a gerund. This rule applies to
people who think the discovery that a virus reacts badly to
sunlight, heat or disinfectant is groundbreaking stuff. They ought
to leave that to medical professionals. (This was made especially
clear by the medical professional living in our home who is prone
to yelling at the TV set at exactly these moments at a pitch that
alerts the deer grazing about a mile away).
3. Look out for others. It has been touching to see gifts left at the
doorstep (like those cookies we received), people loaning out
books and games to bored neighbors and stuffed animals peering
out windows to entertain passersby. The local community
bulletin board alerts us when a toilet paper roll shows up in a
nearby market. Here’s a gift we can present back to readers: Don’t
watch the evening coronavirus task force news conferences on
television, unless you really, really have to watch them — or enjoy
watching doctors cringe. (No, seriously, check out the video that
captures Dr. Deborah Birx’s facial expression when that
disinfectant idea was presented. Priceless).
4. Take care of yourself. Socially-distanced neighborhood
walks are essential. So is eating a balanced diet even when snacks
are tempting. Taking a little mental health break is probably a
good idea, too. Oh, and here’s a tip: Don’t eat the Lysol. Even the
makers of disinfectants think ingesting their product is a bad
idea.
5. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, be grateful and
appreciate the little things. Before the pandemic, how many
of us really gave much thought to our own mortality? To life’s
purpose? To what we hold dear? It’s easy to get wrapped up in
distractions. Sometimes, a little change of pace is good for
clearing out the cobwebs and sharing more time with your
college student son, who, I can faithfully attest, is really, really
sick of his parents. And, of course, we can all be glad that the
individual we are not naming (because it might violate Lessons 1
and 4 and possibly 5) is not our personal physician prescribing
hydroxychloroquine or maybe a flashlight “under the skin”
because he’s just tired of catching grief for a pandemic he hasn’t
handled especially well. Surely, we can all be glad about that.

 COMMENTARY
Remembering a neighborhood jewel
By Lauren Weiner
Spring’s renewal has been strange under
the virus lockdown. Interrupting the still-
ness of the city’s azalea-blooming neigh-
borhoods are the dog walkers, the joggers,
the people who make the rounds delivering
packages and mail. Anyone — visiting
workman or resident — toiling outside
gardening, or landscaping, or hammering
away on the roof of a garage is a reassuring
presence in the eerie quiet.
A presence who is missed, in my neck of
the woods, is a man named Anthony
Hilton. He tended to the yards and trees of
our corner of Roland Park for decades. On
March 29, the Baltimore native died at the
age of 59.
Mr. Hilton was a familiar sight for many
of us, working at all hours nearly year-
round to move mulch, do battle with
invasive plants and vines, or amass 5-foot-
high piles of leaves in the yards of his many
clients. The neighbors who knew him
personally exchanged reminiscences on
social media when the word spread that he
had passed away.
One of them said, “I will never look at a
honeysuckle without recollecting his dis-
dain for ... the species that invaded this area
There are many unknowns ahead, but the COVID-19 pandemic will surely result in deep cultural and life changes for us all.
Coronavirus experience will
change life for every one of us
By Jonah Goldberg
“Where were you when ...?”
We’ve all asked this sort of question.
Where were you when the planes hit the
twin towers? Where were you when you
heard JFK was shot? Where were you
when you heard Kobe Bryant died?
The unstated thing about such ques-
tions is the assumption that you were a
spectator of one kind or another when
something momentous happened. And for
most Americans, that’s how we experi-
ence historic events — as spectators.
The 9/11 attacks were a huge event for
most of us who were alive then. But how
many lives did 9/11 directly and meaning-
fully affect, particularly outside New York
and Washington? Not many in the grand
scheme of things. (Hassles at airports
don’t count.)
The same goes for wars. Less than 1
percent of Americans are in the military,
and less than 10% of the adult population
has ever served. Even among those who
wear a uniform, only a fraction see
sustained combat.
Most historic events of the last half-
century, even if significant and tragic, are
remembered largely as moments on tele-
vision. Despite the tendency of politicians
to say, “If we can put a man on the moon
...,” the number of people among that “we”
is only in the thousands. The rest of
America experienced it vicariously on TV.
This isn’t to minimize the importance
of those events or the emotional effect
they had on society. The Cuban Missile
Crisis directly involved a small number of
players, but millions or even billions of
people felt they had skin in the game.
There’s a huge psychological difference
DOONESBURY BY GARRY TRUDEAU
(according to him).” As well as being
diligent and honest, he was pretty opinion-
ated. He would never knock off for the day
“without cleaning and bagging every scrap
up,” said another. “When he had to borrow
money,” said a neighbor for whom he
worked for 20 years, “he was scrupulous
about working it off.”
Another cherishes the memory of him
riding on his moped, with helmet and cool
sunglasses, down Falls Road.
Many years ago, Mr. Hilton lived for a
while on Elmwood Road near Falls Road
Terrace, on the third floor of an enchanted-
looking Dutch colonial. The owner was a
client of Mr. Hilton’s, and Mr. Hilton did
work on the interior of the house as well as
maintaining the garden. On Edgevale Road,
in another client’s garage, his moped was
(and still is) parked.
We hired him only recently, having seen
him around for years. Before that, he was
someone with whom to exchange a
greeting as I passed while walking the
dogs. Once, as I came up the path behind
our house, I said hello and he asked me if I
owned a better rake than the one he was
using. Mine didn’t seem much better to me,
but he borrowed it. Finding it leaning
against the fence at sundown, I picked it up
between watching and participating, and I
don’t think anyone is appreciating the
difference. For decades after the Great
Depression and World War II, the ques-
tion wasn’t “Where were you ...?” It was
“What did you do?” or “What happened to
you?” During World War I, not everybody
served, but nearly everybody knew some-
one who did and felt the effects of war
mobilization — the censorship, the hys-
teria, the rationing of food, etc.
The consequences of those shared
experiences were profound, changing our
politics and culture in countless ways.
This pandemic is the first event in my
life that approaches anything like that.
And it’s going to get much more intense
before it’s all over. A recent NBC News/
Wall Street Journal poll found that 59% of
Americans don’t know anyone who has
contracted COVID-19. A week prior, the
same pollsters reported that 70% of
Americans didn’t know anyone who’d
been infected. If even the rosiest predic-
tions are accurate, it won’t be long until
every American knows someone who
contracted the virus, and perhaps some-
one who died from it.
How much of the political squabbling
right now is attributable to the fact that
many of the people protesting in relatively
unscathed regions are still watching this
pandemic unfold as an event on TV and
not as a menace in their own lives? It’s
understandable that if you don’t know
anyone suffering from COVID-19 or help-
ing those suffering from it, you might feel
that stay-at-home orders are an overreac-
tion.
But that’s probably not going to last,
particularly if the experts are right that
we’ll see a major resurgence in the fall.

and saw that he had repaired its loose
workings.
He was in fact known for pooling the
neighbors’ tools, even displacing a leaf
blower or two among the homes of his
clients, in what one neighbor referred to as
Mr. Hilton’s “community of resources.”
What did he do in his spare time? His
daughter, Tymeeka Hilton, said his apart-
ment in the Park Heights neighborhood
was filled with a profusion of houseplants
that he enjoyed nurturing. He came from a
family of nine siblings, she said, and was a
good singer. He left four grandchildren and
was about to become a great-grandfather.
Mr. Hilton had many underlying health
issues, and he’d been hospitalized several
times in early March, his daughter said. It is
not yet known whether the coronavirus
took his life. His family gathered for his
funeral service via a Zoom teleconference.
“His honorable exertions had won him
due esteem,” as the novelist George Eliot
once wrote. The man’s dedication to his
task, his love of what is familiar, and his
pride in what is beautiful make Anthony
Hilton someone we won’t soon forget.

Whether the lockdowns are warranted
in every corner of the country is a different
conversation. I think there are good
arguments (and bad ones!) on both sides
of those debates. But if everybody eventu-
ally knows somebody who has died, or
nearly died, in this pandemic, the conver-
sations to come are going to be very
different.
Already, the economic calamity the
pandemic has caused is guaranteed to
blow up a lot of the comfortable assump-
tions that have defined the contours of our
politics for the last two decades.
Consider immigration, which has
roiled our politics for so long. Whatever
your position is on the issue, the old
equation has new variables. In a country
with millions out of work, dismissing
some work as “jobs Americans won’t do”
may well sound offensive (and untrue) in
ways it didn’t before. As agonizingly slow
as the process already feels, it’s a sure bet
that America and the developed world
will emerge from the pandemic far sooner
than poorer nations. Inviting immigrants
from places where the virus is still thriving
— regardless of whether you think it’s
right or wrong — will simply have a very
different political resonance than it did
two months ago.
That’s just one obvious example. There
are far more unknown unknowns waiting
for us in the years ahead, because we’re
about to enter an era when every single
American can start a conversation by
asking “What did you do?” or “What
happened to you when ...?”

Students are distance learning on comput-
ers and tablets amid school closures.
A father’s woefully
inadequate attempt
at homeschooling
during a pandemic
By Jonathan Oglesby
Twenty-eight years after slamming shut
my final high school math book, I’ve had to
relearn algebra, brush up on more than a bit
of geometry and stumble through a review
of complex fractions. And that was just last
week.
You see, my kids came home after school
on March 12 and haven’t left since, so, along
with millions of parents around the country,
I have suddenly and jarringly become a
home-school teacher. Our dining room table
has more computers on it than NASA
Mission Control and yet no one seems to be
able to find a charger anywhere in the house.
One kid’s schoolwork is almost entirely
online, the other’s appears to be several
reams worth of worksheets that I have to
scan at the end of each day and email to
various teachers. I’m certain I have been
caught in the background of more than one
synchronous video lesson fumbling with the
coffee maker in a T-shirt and boxers as one
or both kids wander through the house
carrying whatever device they happen to be
using at the moment.
These scenes are not unique to our house.
I have received too many “OMG! Home-
school!” memes to believe I suffer alone.
America’s education system was/is woefully
unprepared for a long-term interruption. In
the media, “continuity of learning” is the
catchphrase-du-jour, with “online learning”
close behind. However, there is almost zero
consistency across schools, districts and
states with respect to either. Some K-12
students have been supported throughout
this time; their schools having had a remote
learning plan in place before the onset of
social distancing or being nimble enough to
build a plane while flying it. Other students
have had what amounts to a month of
vacation with suggested supplemental on-
line learning material from their schools but
no accountable activity or assessed work.
Many states and districts remain “in
discussion” about plans to continue teach-
ing and learning weeks into campus clo-
sures. Some students live on the wrong side
of the digital divide; some teachers are not
familiar with the tools necessary for online
learning; some parents are not able to
successfully monitor students who have not
previously been responsible for their own
learning. It’s 2020. Wasn’t that date used as
the favored goal post for every education
endeavor between 2000 and 2019. Oops.
You’d think we would have figured a little bit
more of this out by now.
Maybe it’s time for traditional schools to
take a few cues from online schools. After
all, they have been developing methods for
educating students across the internet for
more than 20 years. We can start with
agreeing that throwing a bunch of activities
at kids through their laptops or tablets is not
the same thing as an online school?
Assuming that everyone has enthusiastically
nodded their head, what might we learn
from intentionally designed online schools
in this time of unintended remote learning?
They design their curriculum for the
delivery method, not the other way around
(so I don’t have to order three sets of printer
ink per week). They provide a learning
environment that is secure and can be
monitored (so I don’t have to lurk over the
shoulders of two kids who refuse to stop
streaming Star Wars movies and playing
games in multiple browser tabs). They offer
remote technical assistance and trouble-
shooting (so, I don’t have to spend my
evenings in user forums attempting to figure
out why one of our computers works nicely
with one online tool, but crashes at the mere
thought of clicking on another). They
recommend students work in chunks,
actively develop class projects, and get up
and move, often (so, I don’t get a bunch of
bills from chiropractors).
Most importantly, online schools provide
multiple touchpoints each day between
teachers and students — synchronous
classes, virtual office hours, texting, chat-
ting, even a simple phone call. It is not
enough to email assignments in the morning
or populate a website with links to content.
Students need to feel supported and cared
for as individuals, even/especially those

| THE BALTIMORE SUN
Various institutions and
industries, including uni-
versities and news organi-
zations, have been caught
up in the debate over who
should benefit from the $2.2
trillion bailout bill.
In the case of nonprofits,
critics argue it is not a good
to prop up groups trying to
influence the political de-
bate in the middle of a
presidential campaign.
Defenders note that the
provision in the stimulus
bill paving the way for SBA
loans to nonprofits applies
to all groups registered
under a section of the tax
code — 501(c)(3) — that
covers churches and other
religious institutions, as
well as charities and educa-
tional entities, most of
which rely largely on dona-
tions. Some of those entities
play important roles in
communities across the
country and employ signifi-
cant numbers of people,
some of whom might be out
of a job if fundraising de-
clines during the economic
collapse.
While the tax code bans
those groups from endors-
ing candidates or engaging
in other partisan political
activity, they are allowed to
spend money advocating
policy positions at the heart
of political fights. And many
of the most active political
organizations maintain
501(c)(3) foundation arms,
including FreedomWorks,
which plans to use its Free-
domWorks Foundation to
publicize ideas on how to
restart the economy. Its

“Everyone who wants

should be able to work in a
home office, even when
the corona pandemic is
over,” Heil said.
Heil stressed that “we
want to enable more home
working, but not force it.”
He said people could
choose to switch entirely

do so for only one or two
days per week.

WHEN SPORTS
STOOD STILL
Keeping an eye on the world of sports
during the coronavirus crisis:
Saints nearing deal
with QB Winston
JULIO AGUILAR/GETTY
The Saints and quarterback Jameis
Winston are working on a contract pro-
posal to make the former Buccaneers
starter a backup to Drew Brees in New
Orleans, according to reports Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Saints have announced
that dynamic reserve QB and utility play-
er Taysom Hill has a new two-year con-
tract. ESPN reported that the new deal is
for a total of $21 million, including $16
million guaranteed.
Winston is coming off a season in
which he led the NFL with 5,109 yards
passing and ranked second with 33
touchdown passes, but he also led the
NFL in interceptions with 30. That made
Winston the first QB in NFL history to
have at least 30 TDs and 30 interceptions.
The Bucs allowed Winston, whom it
drafted first overall out of Florida State in
2015, to enter free agency and replaced
him with former Patriots QB Tom Brady.
Now it appears Winston is open to
going from five-year NFL starter to being
Brees’ understudy in hopes of rebuilding
his credentials as a prospective franchise
quarterback.
Teddy Bridgewater recently did just
that, serving as Brees’ backup for two
seasons before the Panthers signed him
last month to replace their longtime
starter, Cam Newton.
Winston was a two-year starter at
Florida State, where he won the Heisman
Trophy and led the Seminoles to a na-
tional title as a freshman in the 2013
season.
In five seasons with the Buccaneers, he
has passed for 19,737 yards and 121 touch-
downs while throwing 88 interceptions.
But while he was productive statistically,
that didn’t amount to winning. The Bucs
went 28-42 in games Winston started.

The defending NFC champion 49ers addressed key positions in the draft and traded for seven-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams.
NFL DRAFT WINNERS AND LOSERS
Gold standard: 49ers
fill needs, get richer
By Josh Dubow
Associated Press
The task for the 49ers heading into the
draft was straight forward.
Find replacements for departed starters
DeForest Buckner at defensive tackle and
Emmanuel Sanders at receiver and then
find a player to step in for longtime left
tackle Joe Staley, who informed the NFC
champions before the draft that he planned
to retire.
The 49ers filled the first two spots in the
first round with defensive tackle Javon
Kinlaw and receiver Brandon Aiyuk and
hoped they wouldn’t regret passing on a
potential starting tackle like Tristan Wirfs.
They couldn’t have scripted it any better
when they were able to trade for seven-time
Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams on
Saturday.
“It was a good gamble that worked out
well,” coach Kyle Shanahan said.
While the 49ers were one of the teams that
filled their needs on draft weekend. Others
like the Packers fell short.
The Packers got a first-round quarterback
in Jordan Love to sit behind Aaron Rodgers
for a couple of years but didn’t get their star
quarterback any wideouts in a receiver-rich
draft.
“It’s a little bit the way everything kind of
fell early in the draft,” Packers GM Brian
Gutekunst said. “It just didn’t work out that
we were able to select some of the guys we
had rated really highly.”
Here’s a look at how some other teams
filled their needs or didn’t on draft weekend:
Filled needs
Vikings
The Vikings’ needs were clear after
trading star receiver Stefon Diggs and losing
cornerbacks Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes
and Mackensie Alexander. They managed to
fill them despite trading down a couple of
times in the draft and ended up taking 15
players and acquiring two mid-round picks
in 2021. The highlights of this class are
first-round receiver Justin Jefferson and
cornerback Jeff Gladney. They added anoth-
er promising cornerback in Cameron Dant-
zler in the third round, a good coverage
linebacker in fourth-rounder Troy Dye.
Second-round offensive tackle Ezra Cleve-
land also provides good value and could be a
starter by 2021.
Day 47
Since the sports world
MICHAEL CONROY/AP
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst, above, failed
to land a new receiver for Aaron Rodgers.
Broncos
Quarterback Drew Lock showed promise
in a five-game audition at the end of his
rookie season in 2019. GM John Elway gave
Lock plenty of help. The draft’s best route
runner in Jerry Jeudy fell to the Broncos at
No. 15 in the first round and they added Penn
State speedster KJ Hamler to team with
Courtland Sutton for a powerful receiving
trio. Elway also added fleet tight end Albert
Okwuegunam on day three. Lock gets some
protection with two strong interior blockers
in LSU center Lloyd Cushenberry and
Fresno State guard Netane Muti.
Buccaneers
The Bucs are in win-now mode after
signing Tom Brady and acquiring Rob
Gronkowski. They did a good job of filling
their roster with players who can help their
soon-to-be 43-year-old quarterback. They
got one of the top tackles in round one in
Wirfs and a talented slot receiver in fifth-
rounder Tyler Johnson. They also added a
third-round running back in Ke’Shawn
Vaughn to team with Ronald Jones and a
ball-hawking safety in Antoine Winfield.
Panthers
After signing quarterback Teddy Bridge-

agency and locking up running back Chris-
tian McCaffrey with a long-term extension,

era to use all of their draft picks on defensive
players. Stud defensive tackle Derrick Brown
highlights the seven-player class that also
includes edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos, and
defensive backs Jeremy Chinn, Troy Pride
Jr., and former West Virginia and XFL safety
Kenny Robinson.
Unfilled needs
Patriots
The Patriots couldn’t expect to find Tom
Brady’s replacement in the draft but didn’t
even take a shot on any of the quarterbacks.
They also failed to bolster their weak receiver
group, instead adding to their stellar defense
with the first three picks before taking two
tight ends in round three.
Rams
The Rams had one of the league’s worst
offensive lines last year and didn’t address
that spot until taking Clemson tackle Trey-
mayne Anchrum in the seventh round. They
had no first-round pick after trading it for
cornerback Jalen Ramsey and used their first
selection on running back Cam Akers. This is
the second straight year they took a running
back on day two, which isn’t always the best
value.
Chargers
Los Angeles’ other team also had prob-
lems on the offensive line last year that
weren’t addressed in the draft. They took QB
Justin Herbert sixth overall and traded back
into the first round for LB Kenneth Murray.
That left them with no more picks until
round four and they didn’t end up with any
linemen.
Dolphins
This draft will be a success for the
Dolphins if QB Tua Tagovailoa remains
healthy and develops into a franchise QB. But
it wouldn’t have hurt to get him a starting
receiver in a draft filled with prospects.
Instead, they spent their next six picks on the
offensive line and secondary and didn’t take a
receiver until grabbing Navy QB Malcom
Perry in the seventh round. That leaves them
with DeVante Parker and few other proven
options at receiver.

IN BRIEF
Newman:
I’ll be ready
for return
News services
Ryan Newman said he will be ready to
race when NASCAR resumes competi-
tion, which could be as early as May 17.
Newman suffered a head injury in the
season-opening race at Daytona Inter-
national Speedway. The Indiana native
spent less than 48 hours in the hospital
before walking out holding hands with
his two daughters.
Ross Chastain drove the No. 6 Ford in
place of Newman for three races before
the NASCAR season was suspended
March 13 because of the coronavirus
pandemic.
Speaking before NASCAR’s iRacing
event Sunday, Newman said on Fox
Sports that he will be ready to race when
NASCAR calls drivers back to the track.
“That’s the absolute plan for sure. I
am healthy,” Newman said. “I have been
blessed with another layer of this
(coronavirus) situation giving me more
time to heal and I look forward to being
back in the seat, for sure.”
Newman was in a spectacular crash
while racing for the lead on the final lap
of the Daytona 500 on Feb. 17. His
airborne car was hit by another car, his
Ford rolled several times and came to a
stop on his roof. It took several minutes
to get him out of the car and transferred
to a Florida hospital, where his condition
was considered serious but not life-
threatening.
NASCAR said in a statement that
Newman hasn’t yet been cleared by the
series to return.
“We share Ryan’s enthusiasm in his
return to the track,” the statement said.
“We look forward to Ryan returning to
racing as soon as he is medically cleared
to race.”
Newman used his brief appearance on
Fox Sports to give thanks again for the
outpouring of support he has received
during his recovery.
“I am so excited and thankful all at the
same time to be healthy and at some
point get back in a race car when the
world starts turning again,” Newman
said. “And thankful for all the people and
support that I’ve got from family, fans,
you name it that have prayed for me, you
name it, you have given me this multi-
tude of miracles.”
NASCAR is hoping to resume its
season without spectators as early as
May 17. The situation remains fluid as
the sanctioning body hammers out a
new schedule and finds states that will
host the series, and teams plan their
return to their race shops.
■ Alex Bowman scored his first iRacing
victory of NASCAR’s invitational series
by holding off Corey LaJoie and Ryan
Preece in a two-lap OT sprint to the
finish at virtual Talladega Superspeed-
way in Alabama. The victory is the third
consecutive for Hendrick Motorsports,
which got back-to-back wins from
William Byron headed into Sunday’s
esports event. The race was the virtual
debut for Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon,
who raced on a rig he borrowed from
Clint Bowyer’s son, Cash. Gordon was
part of the crash but was able to use his
one allotted reset to resume competing.
He needed the quick fix after his famous
No. 24 Chevrolet sailed into the fence.
Because Gordon typically calls the races
alongside Mike Joy, he was replaced in
the Fox booth this week by Michael
Waltrip.
Colleges: Tulane basketball player
Teshaun Hightower was arrested Sat-
urday and charged with murder in
connection with a homicide in Stock-
bridge, Georgia, earlier this month.
Hightower, the Green Wave’s leading
scorer in 2019-20 after transfering from
Georgia, is charged with felony murder,
aggravated assault, possession of a fire-
arm during the commission of a felony,
and battery. Tulane dismissed High-
tower from the team following his arrest.
... Louisville football signee Dexter Rentz
was shot and killed in Orlando, Florida,
late Saturday. The Orlando Police De-
partment confirmed that Rentz died in
the shooting, which also injured three
others. Rentz was 18.
Soccer: Premier Giuseppe Conte an-
nounced that professional sports teams
in Italy can resume training May 18. The
move means that the Serie A league
could resume playing games in June —
albeit without any fans in the stadiums.
Serie A has been suspended since March
9, when the government ordered a
nationwide lockdown due to the co-
ronavirus emergency. Twelve rounds
remain in league play, plus four other
matches that were postponed from the
25th round. Eight-time defending cham-
pion Juventus leads Lazio by one point
in the Serie A standings.

The Ravens still ride with the “best
player available.”
Queen was both the best player on the
Ravens’ board at No. 28 and a perfect fit to
fill one of their most obvious holes. But they
faced a different scenario in round two.
Fans and analysts assumed they’d grab an
edge rusher or a wide receiver. DeCosta,
meanwhile, saw a first-round talent dan-
gling in front of his face.
The Ravens didn’t need a running back,
not with Mark Ingram II, Gus Edwards and
Justice Hill returning from a record-setting
attack. But their general manager could not
pass on J.K. Dobbins, a fast, durable,
no-frills runner with proven receiving skills
and a 2,000-yard season at Ohio State on his
resume.
DeCosta built on a strength rather than
trying to patch a weakness with a player
from lower on his draft board. It’s a
philosophy he learned long ago from his
predecessor, Ozzie Newsome. “These great
players would just fall down the board, and
we would take them,” he said, reflecting on
his early drafts at Newsome’s side. “You
prepare yourself for it, and when it happens,
you have to be prepared to take the guy.”

LOCAL FREE AGENTS
Eagles sign Morgan State wide receiver Bailey
JMU’s Carter to Cowboys;
Leake, Mabry land contracts
By Baltimore Sun staff
Though several local prospects didn’t
hear their names called over the weekend
during the NFL draft, their dreams of
playing professional football are still
alive.
As of Sunday morning, here’s where
some of the top players with ties to
Maryland signed as undrafted free agents:
1. Morgan State wide receiver Manasseh
Bailey signed with the Philadelphia Eagles,
according to an announcement from the
school. Bailey, a former standout at Suitland
in Prince George’s County, finished last
season with the second-most receiving
yards in school history (996) and the
third-most touchdown catches in the con-
ference. A former linebacker, Bailey report-
edly ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds.
Bailey will be the second Bears player in the
NFL, joining Arizona Cardinals offensive
tackle Joshua Miles, who was drafted in the

2. James Madison edge rusher Ron’Dell
Carter, a former Long Reach standout and
Baltimore native, is signing with the Dallas
Cowboys, according to his agency. Carter

was reportedly a highly sought-after free
agent, with 25 teams reportedly pursuing
him. According to the Houston Chronicle,
Carter received $145,000 guaranteed at
signing with $125,000 of his base salary
guaranteed, plus a $20,000 signing bonus.
The former Rutgers player was one of three
finalists last year for the Buck Buchanan
Award, given to the Football Championship
Subdivision’s top defensive player, after
recording 12 sacks in 16 games.
3. Georgia wide receiver Lawrence Cager,
a former Calvert Hall star and Baltimore
native, is signing with the New York Jets,
according to an announcement from
Georgia. Cager, who played baseball,
basketball, soccer and track at Calvert Hall,
caught 33 passes for 476 yards and four
touchdowns for Georgia this past season
after transferring from Miami.
4. Maryland running back Javon Leake
signed with the New York Giants, according
to ESPN. Leake won Big Ten Return
Specialist of the Year honors in 2019 after
tying the school record with two touch-
down returns. He also received All-Big Ten
honorable mention at running back after

rushing for 736 yards on 102 carries with
eight touchdowns last season.
5. Oklahoma cornerback Parnell Motley
signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
according to an announcement from the
school. The Washington native and former
H.D. Woodson star was a three-star wide
receiver recruit who originally committed
to Maryland but went to Oklahoma after
coach Randy Edsall was fired and Locksley
wasn’t retained. He was named second-
team All-Big 12 last season after leading the
team in passes defended (14) and forced
fumbles (five).
6. Maryland tight end Tyler Mabry signed
with the Seattle Seahawks, he announced
on Twitter. Mabry joined the Terps as a
transfer from Buffalo and had 13 receptions
for 155 yards and three touchdowns in 2019.
7. Maryland cornerback Tino Ellis signed
with the New Orleans Saints, he announced
on Twitter. The Reisterstown native and
former DeMatha star earned All-Big Ten
honorable mention as a junior in 2018 but
suffered an injury after six starts as a senior.
He reportedly received $17,500 guaranteed
as part of his deal.

ASK AMY THE ONES
YOU LOVE
By Amy Dickinson (410) 504-6151 SINCE 1939

Play dates require parental permission

Dear Amy: My mother-in-
law asked if she could take
our kids for the day. My
husband and I were nerv-
ous about this, due to the
pandemic, but we relented
— with the clear under-
standing that our kids
would not have any contact
with their cousins (their
father is a medic).
My mother-in-law as-
sured me that it would
only be our children with
her and that she would not
get them together with
their cousins.
Well, it turns out that
she had all of the kids
together to play. I feel that
she lied to me and put us at
risk for sickness.
What would you do?
in-law’s real motive was,
and unless she has disre-
spected you and your hus-
band in similar ways in the
past, you could assume
that this was a one-time
terrible lapse in judgment.
The consequence for
her lapse should be dic-
tated by the CDC recom-
mendations. Because she
put your children at risk of
exposure to the virus, your
household should behave
as if you might have it: No
nonessential contact with
others, take your tempera-
tures each day, wear a
mask whenever you go out,
and double up on your
hand-washing.
Contact with Grammy
will have to be limited to
What gives?
— Ignored
Dear Ignored: What gives
is this: Everyone is differ-
ent. People respond to
stress and personal, health
and national challenges in
different ways. Some peo-
SLEEP WITH
ple are growing out their A SMILE WITH
beards, learning to bake
bread and setting up Zoom A FENCE
meetings with friends and
family, while some are
FROM PYLE
spending their days car-
oming among anxiety,
sadness and worry — and
doing it in solitude.
This is a tough time for
most people, and the most
compassionate response is
to give yourself — and
others — a break. I hope

— Frustrated in Nevada
Dear Frustrated: Assum-
ing your narrative is accu-
rate, your mother-in-law’s
choice is fairly indefensi-
ble. Her reasons for over-
riding your rule might be
many and varied. She may
have felt pressured by both
sets of children, she could
be a pandemic denier,
overwhelmed for other
reasons or simply not have
much respect for you (and
her son) as parents.
Grandparents some-
times believe that they
know best when it comes
to dealing with children
(sometimes they are right),
and sneaky grandparents
will leap over boundaries
in order to assert their own
supremacy. (And where
were these other parents
who allowed their kids to
get together with yours?)
Unfortunately, there will
be a consequence for this,
and if you are all lucky, it
will be relational and not
distance video conferenc-
ing or phone calls.
She has also potentially
been exposed to the virus,
and you should express
concern for her health.
Your other family mem-
bers may believe that you
and your husband are
overreacting to this threat.
But — guess what? You get
to react in whatever way
you believe is wisest to
protect your own family.
Quite simply, as parents,
risk assessment is your job,
and you are doing it.
Dear Amy: We have been
following shelter-in-place
orders for 28 days.
During the first 14 days,
I made an effort to reach
out to my friends to check
on their safety and to so-
cialize. I am saddened that
they have not reached out
in return as time goes on.

Maryland’s athletic trainers From page 1

stepping up to fight pandemic an assistant coach, interim head coach

They’re doing all they can
to help with sports on hold
By Edward Lee
Tim Happel has become accustomed to
delivering disappointment.
As the head athletic trainer at Howard
Community College in Columbia, Happel
has often had the unenviable assignment of
informing an athlete that an injury has
delayed or ended his or her season. Now in
his other career as an athletic trainer at
MedStar Sports Medicine, he has been
tasked with calling people to let them know
that they tested negative for the novel
coronavirus.
“Going back to what we normally do, a lot
of times we have to give the bad news like
‘You can’t play today,’ or ‘You tore your ACL,
and your season’s over.’ We do that more
than what we like to do,” Happel, 35, said
Thursday. “So to be on the other end of it
and give some positive news all day long is
really nice.”
In the fight to contain COVID-19, it’s all
hands on deck in the medical and health-
care professions, and that has included
several athletic trainers who have the time
and desire to pitch in.
“I like to do stuff, and I think most
athletic trainers do,” said Michael Mona-
han, a 29-year-old athletic trainer at Urbana
High School in Frederick County and Pivot
Physical Therapy who has been checking
the temperatures of truck drivers picking
up shipments from the Pepsi warehouse in
Columbia.
“We’ve got a wide variety of skills that
we’re capable of doing, and we like to utilize
them. So sitting down and not doing
anything when I can be out there working
and helping with the issue that is putting us
out of work, it just seems logical that I
would be working.”
Added Kelley Crowe, a 31-year-old ath-
letic trainer at Arundel High School who
also works for MedStar: “I think everybody
misses the normal routine. Just being able
to be a part of this and be able to help is what
is really important.”
Happel, who grew up in Arbutus and
graduated from Lansdowne High School
and Towson University, and Crowe have
assisted in field tents erected by MedStar
outside area hospitals to facilitate the flow
of potential patients by checking for
referrals and other documentation. Since
then, for the past four weeks, they have
been driving to a call center in Elkridge to
call those who have negative tests.
“It’s definitely hard being away from the
community you’ve been involved with at
high school and being away with sports, but
these are just such crazy times right now
that being able to be at the forefront of this
pandemic and help in any way that we can is
meaningful,” Crowe said. “These are such
different times, and with athletic trainers,
we’re utility players. You can use us in many
different environments.”
Andrea Durham, a 30-year-old head
athletic trainer at James Hubert Blake High
School in Silver Spring and MedStar since
2018, has been working at a drive-thru site
in Bethesda for the past month. She helps
collect documentation and input orders
into the computer system.
“It’s been interesting because not a lot of
other professions know what we do and
what we can contribute,” she said. “We’re
like, ‘We can do that, we can take vitals.’
That’s been pretty cool just showing them
the different things we can do. So it’s nice to
be used. It’s nice that we were able to get
re-purposed.”
Monahan, who grew up in Mt. Airy,
could no longer work at the high school
when all schools in the state were shuttered
March 16. Two weeks later, he was fur-
loughed March 30 and began emailing
Christy Kingan, the director of sports
medicine operations at Pivot, for job
opportunities.
On Monday, he began daily shifts at
Pepsi, where he uses an infrared reader to
check truck drivers’ temperatures. Drivers
with readings between 99.5 and 100.4
degrees are given the option of another test
or driving back home, while drivers with
temperatures exceeding100.4 degrees are —
within reason — sent home immediately.
“I’m just happy that I am doing some-
thing,” he said. “I think most people would
be in my shoes. If somebody is in need —
whether that’s a warehouse worker or a
high school athlete — I’m going to try to
help them out. It’s just kind of what
healthcare professionals try to do.”
Breaking free of the usual confines
associated with athletic trainers has been a
priority for the Maryland Athlete Trainers
Association. For the past five years, the
organization has been working on avenues
to expand access to athletic trainers.
On March 18, state legislators voted to
pass a bill that would permit athletic
trainers to work in corporate or industrial
settings to help employees. The proposal,
