TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly faced increased pressure Wednesday from the Republican-controlled Legislature to outline plans for reopening the state’s economy even as she extended a statewide stay-at-home order and prepared to send money to hospitals struggling in the coronavirus pandemic.

Kelly is keeping her shelter-in-place directive active for all 2.9 million Kansas residents until May 3, an addi-

ning of the semester.

ACC went totally online starting March 30, and Masterson said the college has already made the determination to remain online-only for the summer term as well.

During the transition, 102 course sections were converted to a digital format, with only six substitute instructors required.

Hernan Cortes fled the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan in 1520 under blistering military assault, losing the bulk of his troops on his escape to the coast.

But the Spanish conquistador unknowingly left behind a weapon far more devastating than guns and swords: smallpox.

When he returned to retake the city, it was reeling amid an epidemic that would level the Aztec population, destroy its power structures and lead to an empire’s brutal defeat — initiating a centuries-long annihilation of native societies from Tierra del Fuego to the Bering Strait.

From the Plague of Justinian and the Black Death to polio and AIDS, pandemics have violently reshaped civilization since humans first settled into towns thousands of years ago. While the outbreaks wrought their death tolls and grief, they also prompted massive transformation — in medicine, technology, government, education, religion, arts, social hierarchy, sanitation. Before the cholera epidemics of the 19th century, cities thought nothing of mingling their sewage and water supply.

Quietly, allies and industries warn Trump against hasty reopening of economy

By FRANCESCA CHAMBERS and MICHAEL WILNER McClatchy Washington

WASHINGTON — Allies of President Donald Trump and industry experts are telling the White House it will take robust coronavirus testing that is not currently available to most Americans for the country to reopen safely.

Personal protective equipment, specifically masks, would also need to be more prevalent to protect the spread of the highly contagious COVID-19, Businesses are also asking for stronger assurances from the government that they will be compensated in the event of a slow recovery — or if the virus resurges and they have to close up shop again — and they will not be held liable if an outbreak occurs at one of their properties.

Trump is eager to see social distancing restrictions that are cratering the U.S. economy lifted, and says that some states will be able to do so by May 1 — a date that is seen as unachievable by a range of public policy advocates, medical professionals and nationally recognized trade groups. “It would require a miracle,� said Samuel Rodriguez, the president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. “I don’t think we have the capacity right now.�

A faith leader who speaks to the White House regularly and has provided advice on this issue, Rodriguez, senior pastor of New Season

At the same time, he said, “We can’t just restart the economy without increased testing.

That will be irresponsible.�

Trump said at a Tuesday news conference that he was taking instruction from pastors, retailers, manufacturers and a host of other CEOs, and that he would soon be sharing a plan for reopening the country.

He said that 29 states are in “very, very good shape,� and he would be “authorizing� individual governors to bring people back to work. Trump did not say which states he was referring to.

The president has said very little about what his reopening plan will include, although he hinted at a recommendation that states test everyone coming and going at their borders. If that were to happen, he said the federal government would provide the supplies they need if they are unable to acquire testing equipment on their own.

He also said companies could do weekly

testing of their employees or require temperature checks to track possible infections.

But the worst-affected industries have several concerns.

Testing remains elusive in many parts of the country, and the lack of a single standard for reopening states for business — or for closing them in the first place — may contribute to public confusion or, worse, a longer outbreak.

Businesses are also telling the White House that their focus has to be split between recovery and relief, warning that a $2 trillion stimulus package enacted by Congress last month was both flawed and insufficient.

State: Stay-at-home order extended bills,� Hawkins said.

Kelly already faces strong criticism from Republicans for limiting in-person worship services and religious gatherings to 10 or fewer people, which GOP leaders see as restricting religious freedom.

She’s also under fire from Republicans because a surge in unemployment claims from jobless workers has overwhelmed the state Department of Labor’s phone lines and website. Kelly said Wednesday that 150 workers are handling calls, up from 21 when the coronavirus outbreak began in Kansas in early March, and a team of 30 people is working around-the-clock on the processing system.

til aid promised by the U.S. government starts flowing.

But more than 40 Republican legislators demanded in a letter that she provide a detailed plan for allowing businesses to reopen, saying “there is no excuse for us not to be prepared to rebuild.�

And House Majority Leader Dan Hawkins, a Wichita Republican, admonished Kelly that the aid to hospitals helps only one segment of the economy. “We can’t help out the whole economy — I’m not saying we can — but the one thing we can do is to get people back to work, get people back to making money, being able to pay their

Kelly said she’s working on a plan to loosen restrictions, which could be done regionally or industry-by-industry. But she said schools won’t reopen until at least August, large gatherings may be banned for some time and the state won’t “throw the doors wide open.� “Life as we’ve known it won’t be the same for quite a while,� Kelly told legislative leaders. “Until we have a vaccine that works, we’re going to probably have to be dealing with some mitigation effort.�

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with

existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness and death.

Black Kansans have been disproportionately affected. They’ve had 114 cases per 100,000 residents, compared to 33 cases per 100,000 for white residents as of Wednesday. Even more startling is the difference in death rates: 11.5 per 100,000 for black residents, compared to just 1.4 for white residents. However, the information is incomplete, with missing racial data for 23% of cases and 12% of deaths.

Kelly described the trend as “alarming� in a written statement and said it “points to, among other things, inequalities in healthcare.�

classes in the fall.�

Those students who’ve been offered athletics scholarships are still encouraged to take advantage of them, regardless of whether fall sports can take place, though if possible, qualifying athletes are encouraged to take advantage of an extra semester of eligibility due to the cancellation of this spring’s events.

Not surprisingly, athletic recruitment has also been a challenge, but is still progressing thanks to digital technologies.

Prospective students are also still encouraged to “tour� the campus, though these tours will be conducted virtually instead of in person.

Eighteen students remain marooned oncampus, unable to move home, either due to

travel restrictions or because it is medically risky to return.

A couple of students did not have adequate internet access to complete the semester from home, and so ACC is allowing them to stay oncampus as well.

These few students are being cared for and fed by the college, and those who cannot return home in summer will be able to live on-campus without cost.

Around 14 students were unable to retrieve their belongings from campus due to the pandemic, but ACC is taking steps to box those items and return them.

Vice President Jon Marshall noted that

due to the already-high number of online ACC courses, “60% of courses went uninterrupted� due to the pandemic.

By contrast, significant financial accomodations had to be made for students, with refunds totalling around $290,000 for on-campus lodging and other items.

Another financial impact of the campus closure was that all but one member of the food staff was laid off; however, those employees should continue to get health insurance and be able to draw unemployment, said Brian Counsil.

Beyond food staff, Counsil said “we’ve not done any lay-offs at this

ONE POSITIVE impact of the campus closure is that multiple painting and renovation projects have been taken up on campus, such as installing new thermostats in dorm rooms.

A number of new furniture amenities were approved for purchase by the board as well, including 20 chests of drawers, 10 beds and 60 mattresses, totalling $16,337.

Another positive outcome of the closure, noted Dean Cynthia Jacobson, is that progress on ACC’s new website is moving along much faster than originally anticipated.

One interesting discussion among trustees involved to what extent the college might be able to offer its facilities in the event the pandemic worsened, for example, by opening specific buildings to housing medical patients, especially first-responders exposed to COVID-19.

Officials from Allen County Regional Hospital told Masterson this shouldn’t be necessary, but nonetheless trustees agreed that if the college could help provide housing without endangering staff, they would be willing to assist.

In the past, ACC has provided housing aid during disasters, specifically severe flooding.

China tries to revive economy but sputters BEIJING (AP) — China, where the coronavirus pandemic started in December, is cautiously trying to get back to business, but it’s not easy when many millions of workers are wary of spending much or even going out.

Factories and shops nationwide shut down starting in late January.

Millions of families were told to stay home under unprecedented controls that have been copied by the United States, Europe and India.

The ruling Communist Party says the outbreak, which had killed more than 3,340 people among more than 82,341 confirmed cases as of Thursday, is under con-

trol. But the damage to Chinese lives and the economy is lingering.

Truck salesman Zhang Hu is living the dilemma holding back the recovery. The 27-year-old from the central city of Zhengzhou has gone back to work, but with few people looking to buy 20-ton trucks, his income has fallen by half. Like many millions of others, he is pinching pennies.

“I put off plans to change cars and spend almost nothing on eating out or entertainment,” he said. “I have no idea when the situation will turn better.”

Factories reopened in March after President Xi Jinping visited Wuhan, the city at the center of

the outbreak, in a sign of confidence the virus was under control. But the consumers whose spending propels China’s economic growth are still afraid of losing their jobs or catching the virus. They are holding onto their money despite official efforts to lure them back to shopping malls and auto showrooms.

Data due out Friday is expected to show the economy contracted by up to 9% in JanuaryMarch, its worst performance since the late 1970s.

That is a blow to automakers and other global companies that hope China, after leading the way into a global shut-

down, might power a recovery from the most painful slump since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

“What is not fully back, or is completely missing, is the demand,” said Louis Kuijs of Oxford Economics.

In China, e-commerce got a boost when families stuck at home bought groceries and other items online. But forecasters expect little to no growth in this year’s total spending on clothing, food and other consumer goods.

Consumption is a smaller share of China’s economy than in the United States and other high-income countries but accounted for 80% of last year’s growth.

infect his pregnant wife with the coronavirus — so much so that when he pulled into the parking lot of their apartment building, he would call Amosa to tell her he wasn’t coming inside.

When he eventually did, he would sleep separately from her in their twobedroom apartment.

“I’m really, really scared and worried,” Amosa said Monday.

This was no abstract worry: At the Smithfield Foods plant, the locker rooms were so tightly packed Amosa’s husband told her he sometimes had to push his way through a crowd. Coughs echoed through the bathrooms.

The plant in Sioux Falls clocked so many cases that it was forced to close this week. It has reported 518 infections in employees and another 126 in people connected to them as of Wednesday, making it among the largest known clusters in the United States.

A 64-year-old employee who contracted COVID-19 died Tuesday, according to his pastor.

The concentration of cases has highlighted the particular susceptibility of meat processing workers, who stand shoulderto-shoulder on the line and congregate in crowded locker rooms and cafeterias. As many as half a dozen plants have shut because of outbreaks.

Because the workers who slaughter and pack the nation’s meat are vulnerable, so, too, is the supply of that meat.

Smithfield CEO Kenneth Sullivan said the closure of the plant, which produces roughly 5% of the U.S. pork supply each day, was “pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply.”

Amosa and her husband, who are originally from Ethiopia, once saw working at the plant, where she also had a job until she became pregnant, as key to build-

THE PLANT is vital

to a burgeoning immigrant community in Sioux Falls, offering opportunities for even those without a college degree or fluent English.

Smithfield offers pay starting at over $15 an hour, health insurance and plenty of overtime.

The plant has attracted a diversifying workforce to the city, where Somali and Vietnamese restaurants have joined diners and craft breweries. But the city remains fairly divided, with many immigrants living in neighborhoods near the plant, which employs 3,700 people in a city of about 180,000.

The outbreak at the plant has also presented a significant test to a governor who has resisted issuing sweeping stay-at-home orders. As Republican Gov. Kristi Noem was pressed again this week to im-

pose tighter restrictions on Sioux Falls, her response instead was to announce that the state would give wide access to an anti-malarial drug championed by President Donald Trump as a promising treatment for COVID-19, but that has yet to be proven effective.

Noem has fired back, arguing that plant workers were deemed essential and would have been reporting for duty regardless.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, but, for some, especially the elderly or infirm, it can cause severe illness and lead to death.

Even before the coronavirus began sickening workers, jobs in the meatpacking industry have been considered among the most dangerous in the U.S. Workers are exposed to a long list of dangers from hazardous chemicals to sharp knives. Just last month, a maintenance worker at a Tyson Fresh Meats plant in Kansas died after investigators say he got caught up in the assembly line belt.

The work is physical, starting with butchering hogs that weigh nearly 300 pounds. On the processing line, repetitivemotion injuries are common. One worker at Smithfield described often waking up with his right hand so swollen he

couldn’t make a fist.

Union leaders and immigrant advocates cheered the decision to close the plant indefinitely but wish more had been done sooner.

Smithfield spokeswoman Keira Lombardo said difficulty in getting masks and thermal scanners led to delays in implementing some safety measures when the plant was open. But she said last week the plant was adding extra hand-sanitizing stations, scanning employees’ temperatures before they entered and installing Plexiglas barriers in some areas.

Six current employees interviewed by the AP who, like Amosa’s husband, insisted on anonymity because they feared they would be fired described far more haphazard measures.

They said they were given flimsy masks made of hairnet-like material, hand-washing stations were in disrepair, and there was pressure to keep working even if they felt sick.

One employee told his supervisor on March 30 that he had a fever the previous day, but he was told to report to work and not to tell anyone about the fever. He worked that day, missed the next two and returned when the fever broke, he said.

“No one asked if I went to the doctor, if I was tested,” the employee said.

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

I want to give a huge “Hoorah” to all those in the medical field, law enforcement and transportation.

You’ve been there since the Civil War to the present.

You’ve pulled us off the battlefields, taken us to makeshift medical facilities or MASH units to present day medical hospitals.

You’ve written letters for us, read letters we’ve received, and sent the letter no one wants to receive. You would play cards and checkers and even pray with us.

Again, U.S. citizens are being called to duty to fight the COVID-19 pandemic by either hunkering down, tending to those in need or becoming makeshift teachers.

You are our front line of defense.

When I worked for the State of Kansas from 1979 to 1999, every three months we discussed the needs for the next 10 years so we would be pre-

pared for anything that happened. On this board were representatives from the medical field, law enforcement, education, transportation, and the National Guard.

Many times we addressed the medical needs in the case of natural disasters such as floods and tornadoes.

As veterans, we also discussed chemical warfare and the possibility of a pandemic.

We were frequently laughed at.

To all the USA companies that have stepped up to make items in times of need, hoorah to you.

For those who have died from this coronavirus, I’m truly sorry for their loss. If they were a veteran, please know they had an extended family of those who have also served.

I’d also like to congratulate those in our community who work in healthcare, at G&W Foods, Pete’s, Casey’s, Dollar Tree and Orscheln, the banks and Walmart.

Your staff at each of these places have been in the trenches, putting their lives on the line.

I also appreciate the restaurants providing drive-up service. It’s fun to see carhops at King’s again.

To those who have completely closed their doors, I can say that when you reopen, we’ll be there to support you.

We will get over this. We will shake hands again and give hugs. Our churches will open again.

I also hope that at the end of this that if some have contracted cancer because of the pandemic that our country will take care of you faster than it did for those who fought in Vietnam. It has taken 75 years to approve Agent Orange as a chemical which has killed thousands of our veterans.

May God bless you all, Teresa Yetzbacher, Korea/Vietnam veteran Iola, Kan.

KS, Missouri should team up for recovery Missouri Gov. Mike Parson suggested Tuesday he he isn’t enthusiastic about working with other states to reopen their economies in a coordinated way once the coronavirus crisis has passed.

“At the end of the day, you’re going to have to put your state first,” he said.

“We’re going to approach that with what’s best for the state of Missouri.”

That’s the spirit, governor.

We’re all in this, uh, separately.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly seems more open to cooperation. On Wednesday, she said she wants to “reduce confusion and help keep our community safe on both sides of the state line” by working with mayors and governors to make sure agendas are roughly congruent.

It’s the right thing to do.

Other states are working together, too. Their governors understand the spread of COVID-19 does not stop at the border. The only way to eventually reignite the economy is a coordinated approach to contain the disease while loosening the grip it has on businesses.

On the East Coast, governors from seven states have formed a loose alliance to discuss standards and guidelines for reopening. Out west, governors in California, Oregon and Washington announced an agreement “to work together on a shared approach for reopening our economies,” according to a statement, “one that identi-

flight or two, the need to schedule children’s every hour, the go-gogo mentality — opens the possibility of a behavioral reset, for those who can afford it. Millions have stumbled on the ancient simplicity of an afternoon walk and many wonder if there might be a way to reduce some of the noise in their lives, keep the freeways a bit more open and the air a bit more clear.

“People tend to need a big shock to change their behavior,” said Marlon G. Boarnet, professor and chair of the department of urban planning and spatial analysis at the University of Southern California.

In particular, he sees opportunities to fight a slower-moving, potentially far more destructive global disaster: climate change.

“Now we see our day-to-day habits can change more quickly than we thought,” he said. “People have had the opportunity to telecommute. The reality is they didn’t have to go to every conference. And we’re getting a glimpse of what Los Angeles could look like if we

Together, pandemics and epidemics have led to massive advances in public health that allowed cities and civilizations to grow and prosper: germ theory, urban sanitation, vac-

He said public officials need to craft policies to make some of the positive changes permanent before old habits return and solidify.

Although many people, from hotel maids to emergency room physicians, cannot do their job online, those who can should consider it, he says. “If we had everybody telecommute a day a week, you would have an incredible air quality improvement.”

PANDEMICS are famously idiosyncratic in the havoc they cause and the human adap-

cination, penicillin, better hygiene, isolation wards and the scientific method, which brought rationality to modern medicine.

Nations and societies rose and fell on the backs of pandemics.

The Black Death of bubonic plague that erupted in the 1300s, killing half the population of Europe, dealt the final blows to the feudal order of serfdom, with waves of deadly outbreaks to follow for centuries, shaking faith in the Roman Catholic Church, and some historians suggest, making possible the Renaissance and the Reformation.

But the disruption

caused by smaller epidemics, even mere footnotes in history, have also had colossal consequences.

Consider how the United States obtained the vast midsection of the country that allowed it to expand westward to California and become the most prosperous nation on Earth.

In 1802, Napoleon sent the world’s greatest army to the Caribbean to put down a slave rebellion and restore French rule in what had been France’s most profitable colony, St. Domingue.

But an epidemic of yellow fever devastated his troops, killing an estimated 50,000 and forcing his army to leave in defeat.

Without the wealthy island colony to fund his grand plans on the American continent, Napoleon retrenched to Europe to face off with England. St. Domingue became Haiti, the first free black republic in the world, and President Thomas Jefferson bought 828,000 square miles of French territory on the cheap, stretching from New Orleans to the Rocky Mountains to Canada.

So in the great cascade of human events, Kansas City and Denver, and by extension Los Angeles and Seattle and the Silicon Valley, owe a bit of themselves to that long lost ancestor, a pestilence in the Antilles.

Yet a much bigger biological disaster, the influenza pandemic of 1918, which killed anywhere from 20 million to 50 million people globally at the end of World

War I, left mere ripples in terms of broader societal change. Some historians dubbed it the “forgotten pandemic” and even the great generation of American writers who lived through it — Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald — ignored or barely mentioned it in their works.

“Nothing else — no infection, no war, no famine — has ever killed so many in as short a period. And yet it has never inspired awe, not in 1918 and not since,” wrote Alfred W. Crosby in “America’s Forgotten Pandemic.”

How this new virus — SARS-CoV-2 — will bend that human torrent is impossible to know.

We’re still crashing down the first rapid.

With modern medicine, and the current data on the virus, no one is predicting the next the Spanish flu or Black Death.

But plenty see trouble beyond the death toll and economic fallout.

Many political scientists fear that America’s deep polarization and divisive president will prevent the nation from rallying around any big policies to save millions from poverty in the event of a recession or to massively reform our healthcare system.

No new New Deal seems likely, despite efforts on the left to pass a Green New Deal.

And as the U.S. lets go of the leadership role

it’s wielded since World War II, and nationalism bubbles up across the planet, it will be harder for countries to cooperate on the big transnational crises: climate change, cybersecurity, terrorism, nuclear weapons proliferation, refugees, every sort of trafficking and the next pandemic.

Countries might turn inward, supply chains might contract, the global economy might sputter.

“This is the most global crisis of our lifetimes,” says Ian Bremmer, a political scientist

and founder of Eurasia Group, a political risk research and consulting firm. “We desperately need a coordinated response.”

“If you look at the last couple of crises we had, whether it’s 9/11 or the great recession, it was a U.S.-led-global order,” he says. “There was a rally-around-the-flag effect. There was a strong cohesiveness between the U.S. and our key allies around the world.”

George W. Bush had a 92% approval rating after the 9/11 attack.

“Trump is at 46,” he says.

Bremmer calls this pandemic the first “GZero” crisis, without the Group of Seven (G-7) or Group of 8 industrialized countries to provide global leadership.

“No one is going to replace the United States but China is certainly going to take advantage of the geopolitical vacuum that’s being left by the U.S. right now, and it’s going to cause a lot of American allies to hedge more.”

But taking a less internationalist role could have some advantages too, Bremmer says. He notes when the Cold War ended, there was much talk of a “peace dividend,” in which the U.S. would scale down its defense budget and focus on building infraSee VIRUS | Page A6

structure and education. But President Bill Clinton was stymied by resistance from the defense industry and opponents in Congress, and then 9/11 led to costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the global war on terror.

Bremmer hopes to see an effort like that, but fears the economy might be crippled in the short run.

“The U.S. government hasn’t been adequately investing in its citizens for decades,” said Bremmer. “It’s not going to be easy. But it’s now or never.”

Health policy experts hope that, at the very least, the pandemic leads to the build-up of state and local public health agencies, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to meet the next new contagion and better deal with other behavioral health challenges that affect large swaths of society, including obesity, smoking, vaping, sexually transmitted diseases and the opioid epidemic.

Empress EMT Rick Grohs and fellow EMS medics assist a patient with COVID-19 symptoms before transporting her to the hospital Monday in Yonkers, N.Y. Located adjacent to New York City, Westchester County is part of the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. GETTY IMAGES/JOHN MOORER/TNS “Our less-than-halting response to this shows we need a real public health system in this country,” said Drew Altman, president and Chief Executive of the Kaiser Family Foundation, “A system that is able to rapidly test whether we have a pandemic, and trace and isolate cases.”

Altman does not see this pandemic changing the political equation on a nationalized healthcare system. “Theoretically, this is a short-term crisis,” he said. “At some point Republicans and Democrats will return to form.”

Charlie Cook, who has tracked campaigns and trends for three de-

cades for his nonpartisan political guide, says Americans don’t see this so much as a failure of the medical system but “more of a civil defense/homeland security threat to the nation.”

And he doesn’t think the chaotic federal response is persuading many people that it should be in charge of their healthcare.

What many hope for is a return to faith in science, expertise and hard truths.

“I can imagine that the anti-vaccine movement will finally go into decline,” said Daniel Hallin, a University of California, San Diego communications professor who has studied how information spreads during epidemics. “Possibly a shift toward appreciation of why we need com-

petent government.”

He expects that people will be more cognizant of washing their hands and touching things for a flu season or two, but that when the virus fades from memory they will return to hugging and shaking hands, going to concerts and movies and restaurants. “When people say this will change the world as we know it, I don’t see that.”

But Larry Diamond, a political scientist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, has a different vantage.

“I think this is going to be a very long, protracted crisis,” he said.

“I think it’s going to be very deep and multidimensional. I think the effects are going to unfold over many years.”

Diamond, who has

spent four decades promoting democracy in more than 70 countries, is particularly concerned about authoritarians exploiting the crisis. Surveillance used to track people exposed to the virus can be turned against political enemies and dissidents.

Critical information can be suppressed, as was the early outbreak in Wuhan, China, allowing the virus to spread across the world to disastrous effect.

“The Hungarian parliament has just passed a law giving the authoritarian prime minister absolute unchecked decree power,” he said.

“I think we’re going to see more and more efforts to use the crisis to suppress freedom of information and civil liberties and judicial independence and legislative and other institutional checks and balances.”

And he doesn’t only fear this happening in foreign countries. He is dismayed that Congress is not rallying behind a bill to make sure every voter in America can cast their ballot by mail in November, when epidemiologists say the Northern Hemisphere could be in the midst of another outbreak.

“We just cannot allow a situation where an incumbent president comes back in late October and says the election has to be postponed because we have a resurging public health crisis,” he said. “We’ve got plenty of time to make this transition. Our democracy is at very great risk if we don’t do so.”

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic reminds us we are only as safe as our community members who are most at risk. This pandemic highlights the barriers that Health Forward Foundation is working to address. Systemic and structural inequities of power, money, and resources disadvantage people of color and people living in poverty who are more likely to: • Have underlying health conditions that place them at greater risk of acquiring and recovering from the virus, contributing to disparities in mortality rates • Be in the essential services workforce without the luxury of being able to work from home to adhere to social distancing requirements • Lack insurance coverage, which has a direct impact on access to health care • Have significantly less income and assets to stay afloat in the event of job loss or furlough

To address these issues, Health Forward’s COVID-19 Community Resiliency plan provides up to $3.7 million to ensure our partners have the resources needed to provide critical medical and behavioral health care and other essential services, like food, childcare, and medications to those living in marginalized conditions.

In this time of crisis, we continue working with partners and community stakeholders to identify strategies that will maximize the resiliency of our communities and lead to stabilization and recovery for those most in need. As we move forward, we commit to pursuing and prioritizing multi-level solutions that address the link between health, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic contributors like poverty.

We are proud to be a part of this region. We are seeing organizations, corporations, and funders unite in unique ways. We have witnessed the resilience in our communities, and we know when the pandemic ends, we will rise stronger.

Though we must spend this time physically apart, there’s no doubt we are in this together.

New coordinator Joe Klanderman ready to take charge

By KELLIS ROBINETT The Kansas City Star

Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson (10) talks with head coach Chris Klieman after throwing a touchdown against Texas on Nov. 9, 2019.

NICK WAGNER/AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN/TNS

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Joe Klanderman had big plans for Kansas State’s defense when he took over as coordinator of the unit last month.

Still does.

But they are no longer quite as grand as they originally were now that spring practices have been canceled and K-State players are spread out across the country because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“We probably have to sim-

plify the package a little bit,” Klanderman said during a video conference with reporters Wednesday. “Maybe all of the things we wanted to do originally we aren’t going to be able to do, at least initially in the season.”

In his own words, these are “uncharted waters” for Klanderman. He’s not a firsttime defensive coordinator, but it’s been seven years since he last held the title. And he was coaching at Division II Minnesota State back then.

He was looking forward to

spending 15 practices with KState players this spring and putting his own stamp on the defense.

His style isn’t that much different from Hazelton’s, but he likes to think of himself as a more-aggressive play-caller than his predecessor. Time will tell if he can stay true to that approach next season.

“If you play solid defense and eliminate explosive plays you are going to give yourself a chance,” Klanderman said.

Wichita State University received unanimous approval from the Kansas Board of Regents Wednesday for its proposal to tear down 74-year-old Cessna Stadium and build in its place a new, smaller multipurpose stadium.

Modernizing the facility to match the campus’ surrounding facilities has become a priority for new WSU president Dr. Jay Golden, who envisions the new multi-purpose stadium also attracting high school and club events for soccer, lacrosse and track and field. The proposal estimates it will cost $1.4 million to raze the current Cessna Stadium.

WSU athletic director Darron Boatright emphasized that this was just the first hurdle to clear and that WSU has no immediate plans to begin destruction until it has secured the money, which will come from private funds and restricted fee funds.

After a lengthy discussion among members of the Fiscal Affairs and Audit committee earlier in the day, the Kansas Board of Regents had very little discussion before giving its blessing in Wednesday afternoon’s online meeting.

“This is just the first step in a long process we would have to go through should the funding source come available,” Boatright told The Eagle. “There’s no timetable for this project. This just lets us know what the thoughts of the regents are and if we have their support.

“We would still have to figure out how we would find a funding source for this and see where that stands on the university’s list of priorities.”

A new multi-purpose facility would look more in line with WSU’s other on-campus facilities. It would also keep WSU in line with Wichita’s growing commitment to topnotch facilities, like the new Riverfront Stadium and upgraded Stryker Sports Complex.

“I think everyone is in agreement that the way it See WSU | Page B6

Coping without the fun

By ERICK MITCHELL The Iola Register

Say there was no COVID-19.

Heath Curry would be in the stands at Riverside Park watching his son Ryker on the diamond for Iola High, and I’d be there snapping pictures and carrying out the rest of my game day routine that I miss so dearly.

Unfortunately, that is not

the case. Following the postponement of the NBA’s season on March 11, sporting events around the world followed suit in an orderly manner, leaving fans searching for ways to fill the void.

“This week Ryker would have probably played Tuesday and Thursday, and I don’t think the little guy had anything scheduled this weekend,” Curry said. “So this weekend, I would have

College Basketball: Kansas Jayhawks

Defensive stopper returning for senior year

By ERICK MITCHELL The Iola Register

Kansas will have college basketball’s best defender back in the starting five for next season.

Junior Marcus Garrett announced his plans via Twitter that he would return for his senior year. This season, Garrett was crowned the Naismith Defensive Player of the year while finishing fifth in the Big 12 in steals at 1.8 per game.

“I completely intend to play in the NBA and know I have to continue to improve my game to reach that lifelong goal,” Garrett said in a release obtained by KU Sports after announcing his return on Twitter. “There is no better place to do that than my senior year at KU. We have great coaches and staff and I have great teammates to reach our goals. But most importantly, I’ll graduate from KU.” Garrett started in all 31

If the Royals are in town, I ride up to Kansas City to catch a game. But now… I’ve got nothing.”

When the news first came in early March that sports would be canceled due to the pandemic, Curry and his

games this season while the Jayhawks cruised to the Big 12 title with a 28-3 record. Garrett was voted unanimously to the All-Big 12 defensive team, and also featured on the All-Big 12 second team for averaging 9.2 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.

Garrett failed to apear in many NBA mock drafts throughout his career, but with a strong senior season showcasing growth in his scoring, there is no reason why he can’t raise his stock.

KU guard Marcus Garett looks for an open teammate against Oklahoma on Feb. 15.

Natasha Leggero OF â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;BROKEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ON CBS How much does the presence of a studio audience help your performance?

A lot. I really like a live situation because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a stand-up comedian and I have been for 20 years. So just getting the reactions from your entrances and exits ... really does kind of do it for you more than other things (laughs). And also delivering the jokes is really fun because, especially in a multicam like this, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of heart in it but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of one-liners.

You know, the ability to be able to do a one-liner and then in the next take do another one, like a different one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laughing at this one. And then all the writers will get together and be like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK, now on the third take, try this joke.â&#x20AC;? And that might be the best one and the audience is always surprised. And you know, the audience never really lies. You can kind of tell what the best joke is from the three times you do it because of the measure of which they laugh (laughs).

So in essence, the audience chooses which joke is best?

In a way, yeah, they can, especially with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a multicam, there are many cameras going at once so you can edit it all together. But when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacing a line, yeah, for sure, you see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the funniest.

Do you have any leeway for improv within that?

Yeah ... but they have an amazing staff who are always there on set during the tape nights so they would pitch you things and then I would sometimes be like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK, well what about that part ...?â&#x20AC;? We would all kind of collaborate together and that was a really fun part of it.

UK to extend lockdown amid signs outbreak nearing peak

By JILL LAWLESS The Associated Press

LONDON (AP) — The U.K. government was poised today to extend a nationwide lockdown for several more weeks, as health officials said Britain’s coronavirus outbreak — one of Europe’s worst — is nearing its peak.

Authorities were expected to announce an extension of restrictions on movement and business activity after a meeting of the government’s crisis committee, COBRA. Before the official announcement, British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said “it is too early to make a change” to the lockdown the government ordered

on March 23 to slow the spread of the virus.

Schools, pubs, restaurants and most shops are closed, and most people are allowed to leave home only for essential errands or exercise.

“I understand those who are calling for an end to the lockdown or some kind of exit strategy to start now, but I think it’s just too early for that,” Hancock said.

As of Wednesday, 12,868 people had died in U.K. hospitals after testing positive for coronavirus. The figure does not include deaths in nursing homes and other settings.

Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said the U.K. is “probably reaching the peak overall” but that officials are “not yet

at the point where we can say confidently and safely this is now past the peak.”

For now, extending the lockdown has wide public and political support.

But as other European countries cautiously ease their restrictions, Britain’s Conservative government faces pressure to explain when and how the country will reopen.

“We agree the measures need to remain in place, but to maintain morale and hope, people need a sense of what comes next,” said Keir Starmer, leader of the opposition Labour Party.

“The silent pressures on communities across the country cannot be underestimated.”

The government’s response to the pandemic

has been complicated by the absence of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has not returned to work after spending a week in a London hospital being treated for COVID-19, including three nights in intensive care.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is filling in while Johnson recuperates, but the government is wary of making big decisions until the prime minister can participate.

Critics have accused U.K. officials of unnecessary secrecy. The government’s decisions on virus measures are based on advice from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, a panel of scientists whose full membership list has not been made public.

Daughter-in-law fears losing babysitting service Dear Carolyn: Four years ago, my son and daughter-in-law moved back to our hometown so they could have family support while raising their young kids. I babysit my two sweet granddaughters free of charge twice a week and am the go-to babysitter for other events as they come up. It’s been a wonderful experience for all of us.

Now, my granddaughters are approaching school age and my daughter is pregnant with her first baby. I’d like to offer her the support I’ve offered my son, and my husband and I have decided to move closer to her, at least for a few years.

My daughter-inlaw is furious. She says that she and my son sacrificed career progress to move closer to us, and that if my daughter wants that benefit, then she should also be the one to move. She says they wouldn’t have “upended their lives” if they’d realized we were going to “abandon” them.

I’m trying to give them plenty of ad-

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

vance notice, and I don’t see four years of free child-care as abandonment. Are we terrible people for moving?

— Allowed to Move?

Allowed to Move?: Your daughter-in-law responded terribly. No question. It’s childish emotional incontinence.

But there’s a piece missing: Why? Did your son and daughter-in-law move of their own accord, to be closer to you — or did they ask you to move closer, and decide to relocate only after you refused to?

If it’s the former, then maybe she’s just feeling rejected and is projecting that outward. Again — an explanation, not an excuse.

If it’s the latter, then you need to answer head-on the question of why you wouldn’t

move for them but now will move for your daughter, especially if your daughter-in-law has grounds to feel slighted.

Of course, even if you had refused their request for you to move closer, had insisted on staying put, and even if they did move only to be closer to you, that wouldn’t mean you’re chained to your location forever. It also wouldn’t make it okay for your daughter-in-law to unload her fury on you.

You’re adults, and you can change your minds as your circumstances change.

However, it’s important to try on the perspective of people who are upset with you.

Even if they moved entirely on their own initiative, they’re still losing out on a close grand-relationship for their kids that they thought they’d secured by moving — not just on free child care.

Framing things in a more respectful way and acknowledging their loss is a generous Make the switch today! Enroll in

response to hard feelings.

Carolyn: Thanks for the thoughtful answer.

I will try to approach conversations more holistically. My son and daughter-in-law did not ask me to move — they informed me they would be moving.

My daughter works in a highly specialized industry that only exists in a few cities; moving would be impossible for her. — Allowed to Move? again Allowed to Move? again: Hmm. Daughter-in-law might be upset with herself and/ or your son for uprooting based on the assumption you’d be there forever, which would be understandable, but only if managed “in-self ” and not splashed out in fury at you.

Nevertheless, compassionate and nondefensive will still be your best position from which to discuss this with them. I hope tensions ease for you soon.

K-State defense to build on 2019

Curry: Life goes on without sports

Continued from B1

Continued from B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, can you play sound defense and bring pressure? Sure. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I am a crazy pressure man, but I think we maybe could have been a little more aggressive in some of our zones and playcalling situations. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying anything was wrong, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just saying the way we fundamentally teach some things might be more aggressive.â&#x20AC;?

K-State football coach Chris Klieman promoted Klanderman from defensive backs coach to defensive coordinator when Scottie Hazelton left for Michigan State more than a month and a half ago.

His reasoning was simple: The Wildcats showed impressive progress on defense

last season, ranking second in the Big 12 in points allowed (21.6 per game) and fourth in yards allowed (368.4 per game). They were particularly strong against the pass, as Klandermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary allowed just 202.9 yards in the air per game.

Klieman wants to build off that momentum. So promoting a longtime assistant like Klanderman, who also coached under him at North Dakota State was a logical choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the perfect match,â&#x20AC;?

Klanderman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand, because I have been around Coach (Klieman) for so long, what his message is.

I understand how he wants this team to get formulated. I under-

stand what he wants the players to think.

I understand how he wants everybody to approach things. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there is anybody else on this earth that can convey that message to the players better than I could.â&#x20AC;?

One thing that should help ease Klandermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transition is experience. KState players will have a lot of it next season.

Elijah Sullivan and Justin Hughes will lead the way at linebacker as seniors.

Wyatt Hubert will anchor the defensive line coming off an All-Big 12 season as a sophomore. And starting cornerbacks A.J. Parker and Walter Neil are both returning, along with Wayne Jones at safety.

talked about playing there versus Florida, is that everything is within 40 or 50 miles,â&#x20AC;?

Curry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m standing there watching the Royals players get on the bus, and I hear a guy yell the game was canceled.

So, we just hopped in the car and zoomed over to Surprise,â&#x20AC;? to catch the remaining innings of a Giants and Rangers game before watching the Cubs take on San Diego later in the day. The next day, March 12, Curry was returning to Iola when MLB announced it would postpone Opening Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little freaked out,â&#x20AC;? Curry said.

Living without MLB baseball was challenging enough, but carrying on without his alma mater Wichita State basketball or baseball was definitely the biggest blow for Curry. To say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a die-hard fan is an under-

statement. In fact, his entire office at the Bank of Gas is decorated in Shocker decor.

Curry had already made multiple trips to witness Shocker baseball, singing songs of high praise for their 12game winning streak before the season was canceled. More importantly, Curry couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for another chance to watch his Shockers dance. Had Wichita State qualified for the NCAA tournament, and landed in either Omaha or St. Louis, Curry would have made the trip.

Now, Curry has neither. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sucks so bad. It is terrible,â&#x20AC;? Curry said. I would do anything for them to figure out a way to play, even if the fans canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go. Atleast to have it on TV, something to watch.â&#x20AC;?

Curryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopes for play returning have happened in some form.

Most recently, 16 NBA players competed in an online NBA2K20 video game tournament, won

by Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker.

In need of some form of sports entertainment, Curry has been keeping an open eye to even Esports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've been paying attention to it, just because I need something to watch,â&#x20AC;? Curry said.â&#x20AC;?

Curry is also filling the gap by watching reruns of Wichita Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Four run in 2013, along with when the Shockers won the College World Series in 1989. But prerecorded tapes can only last for so long, and Curry is running low. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running out of things to watch,â&#x20AC;?

Curry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to watch Netflix, and I even watched Tiger King. I even watched WWE for a little while last night because there's nothing on!â&#x20AC;?

WSU: Will replace Cessna Stadium Continued from B1

is currently is no longer acceptable for our campus,â&#x20AC;? Boatright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are safety concerns and just the sight lines it produces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first thing you see coming from the west or from the north coming to our campus and that needs to be a better indication of the modernization of our campus in that first view. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become an eyesore on the campus.â&#x20AC;?

Boatright said WSU is committed to continuing to be the host for the Kansas high school state track and field meet, which has been held at Cessna Stadium every spring for the last four decade and in a typical year plays host to 3,500 athletes and many more spectators for 12 simultaneous state championship meets in various classifications.

That means working the demolition schedule around scheduled events, but also building

a big enough new stadium to continue to make it a desirable venue.

Boatright told reporters that he envisions the seating capacity of the new multi-purpose facility being between 12,000 and 15,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know that if this were to happen, then it would happen in phases and it would be our intention not to displace the state track and field meet,â&#x20AC;?

Boatright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be our intentions to continue to host the state meet and find a way to work around where we can host the state track meet uninterrupted.â&#x20AC;?

Bill Faflick, executive director for the Kansas High School Activities Association, said his organization will take a wait-and-see approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way too early for us to know, but we hope to be able to continue in that capacity,â&#x20AC;? Faflick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wichita has been a great host, Cessna has

been a great venue and Wichita State has been a great partner in hosting the event.â&#x20AC;?

For many in the track and field world, not just in Wichita but all over Kansas, Cessna Stadium has become a cherished place over the years. It is synonymous with the Kansas high school state track meet, where championships are won and memories are made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there as an athlete, as a coach, as an athletic director, as a meet manager and then as a parent watching my kid run there,â&#x20AC;? Faflick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started for me all the way back in 1978 and I know a lot more people share even more longevity than I do with that meet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of those staples for us, signifying the end to a great school year and the start of summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of great memories there and hopefully many more to come.â&#x20AC;?
