Pandemic hits hospital’s bottom line

Allen County Regional Hospital is hoping the government stimulus package will provide some financial relief to recover from losses expected from the coronavirus pandemic.

Rural hospitals are facing significant revenue losses as they have shifted to providing mostly urgent and emergency care to avoid spreading the virus. Provisions in the federal government’s $2 trillion coronavirus response bill are expected to provide financial assistance to hospitals.

‘God gave me an ability to do things’

By STEPHEN KORANDA and CELIA LLOPIS-JEPSEN Kansas News Service

With Easter and Good Friday this weekend, the Register continued its series of conversations with religious leaders in the community by speaking with the Jocelyn Tupper Rev. Jocelyn Tupper of the United Methodist Church in Iola.

The topics of conversation focused on faith/reason, anxiety, isolation and celebrating Easter during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regarding faith and its relation to science and medicine, Tupper said “God takes care of us, [but] God also gave us minds.”

In her words, “we’ve let God down” when we “don’t

God never leaves us “a magic cure” to all our problems, so it’s important to engage the gift of our critical faculties.

Record 16.8 million have sought US jobless aid since virus

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — With a startling 6.6 million people seeking jobless benefits last week, the United States has reached a grim landmark: More than one in 10 workers have lost their jobs in just the past three weeks to the coronavirus outbreak.

The figures collectively constitute the largest and fastest string of job losses in records dating to 1948. They paint a bleak picture of a job market that is quickly unraveling as businesses have shut down across the country. More than 20 million American may lose jobs this

month.

The viral outbreak is believed to have erased nearly one-third of the economy’s output in the current quarter. Fortyeight states have closed non-essential businesses. Restaurants, hotels, department stores and countless small businesses have laid off millions as they struggle to pay bills at a time when their revenue has vanished.

All told, in the past three weeks, 16.8 million Americans have filed for unemployment aid. The surge of jobless claims has overwhelmed state unemployment offices around the country.

And still more job cuts are expected. The un-

employment rate could hit 15% when the April employment report is released in early May. A nation of normally free-spending shoppers and travelers is mainly hunkered down at home, bringing entire gears of the economy to a near-halt. Non-grocery retail business plunged 97% in the last week of March compared with a year earlier, according to Morgan Stanley. The number of airline passengers screened by the Transportation Security Administration has plunged 95% from with a year ago. U.S. hotel revenue has tumbled 80%.

The government-mandated business shutdowns that are meant

to defeat the virus have never brought the U.S. to such a sudden and violent standstill. For that reason, economists are struggling to assess the duration and severity of the damage. “We’re just throwing out our textbooks,� said Beth Ann Bovino, chief U.S. economist at S&P Global Ratings.

The Penn Wharton Budget Model, created at the University of Pennsylvania’s business school, projects that the U.S. economy will shrink at an astonishing 30% annual rate in the April-June quarter — even including the government’s new $2.2 trillion relief measure, the largest federal aid pack-

Black Americans face higher virus death rates

By JENNY JARVIE and MOLLY HENNESSY-FISKE The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — At first, COVID-19 did not seem to discriminate.

The patients who walked into Dr. Uche Blackstock’s urgent-care clinics in Brooklyn, N.Y., with coughs and fevers were white, black and brown.

But in the last few weeks, she has witnessed a notable shift: Fewer white people have showed up, while there has been a dramatic uptick in the number of black and brown patients.

Many are lower-income service workers and essential workers — delivery drivers, police officers, subway workers, corrections officers — who do not have the luxury of working from home or retreating to a second home in a less dense community. “People say that COVID-19 is a great equalizer and that everyone’s going to be impacted,� said Blackstock, chief executive of Advancing Health Equity. “But the fact is that certain communities are more harshly impacted than others.�

The available data of

the race of coronavirus victims — released by only a handful of states — bear out that observation, revealing a stark disparity between white and black residents.

In Michigan, black people have died at more than eight times the rate of white people. In Illinois, they have died at nearly six times the rate.

In Louisiana, the difference is fivefold.

Public health experts said those figures reflected deep-rooted social and economic inequalities.

Not only are black Americans less likely to

be insured and able to afford testing, but they are more likely to have underlying medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease that could put them at higher risk for severe illness.

They are 60% more likely than white Americans to be diagnosed with diabetes and 40% more likely to have high blood pressure, according to the U.S. government. “This virus is treading a glide path that unfortunately our society has paved through structural racism and poverty,� said Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a former director of the Detroit Health Department. “It is finding its way into our most vulnerable communities, who in our country tend to be disproportionately black and brown.�

pounded by the fact that many of the most vulnerable people work in service jobs that increase their risk of being exposed to the virus. Fewer than 20% of black workers are able to work from home compared with about one-third of their white counterparts, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Last week, Jason Hargrove, a 50-year-old bus driver from Detroit, died from complications of COVID-19 just 11 days after he posted a video railing against a woman on his bus who had just coughed four or five times without covering her mouth. “We’re out here as public workers, doing our job, trying to make an honest living to take care of our families,� he said on the video. “But for you to get on the bus, and stand on the bus, and cough several times without covering up your mouth, and you know that we’re in the middle of a pandemic, that lets me know that some folks don’t care.�

On Monday, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and hundreds of doctors called on the federal government to begin reporting the racial and ethnic demographic data on COVID-19 immediately. “Systemic racism and bias in the health care system have resulted in chronically poor health outcomes for black Americans,�

Kristen Clarke, the president of the committee, wrote in a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “These co-morbidities render black Americans more susceptible to severe respiratory complications and death resulting from COVID-19.�

age in history by far. An economic contraction of that scale would be the largest quarterly plunge since World War II. A key aspect of the rescue package is a $350 billion small business loan program that is intended to forestall layoffs. Small companies can borrow enough to cover payroll and other costs for eight weeks.

And the loans will be forgiven if small businesses keep or rehire their staffs. The Treasury Department has begun to roll out the loans to mixed results.

Many small businesses have had trouble accessing loan applications, and many economists say the $350 billion is in-

sufficient. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said he will seek an additional $250 billion for the program from Congress.

The rescue package also added $600 a week in unemployment benefits, on top of what recipients receive from their states. This will enable many lower-income workers to manage their expenses and even increase their purchasing power and support the economy. It also makes many more people eligible for jobless aid, including the self-employed, contractors, and so-called “gig economy� workers such as Uber and Lyft drivers.

Economy unlikely to recover as rapidly as it collapsed

By JOSH BOAK The Associated Press

BALTIMORE (AP) — President Donald Trump has been telling voters that the U.S. economy will leap back to life “like a rocket,� stronger than ever after its bout with the coronavirus.

But there is a reason economics is called the “dismal science.�

There are emerging signs that any recovery will fail to match the speed and severity of the economic collapse that occurred in just a few weeks. The 2020 presidential and Senate elections likely will take place as the world’s largest economy is still attempting to climb back from the deadly outbreak. “Anyone who assumes we’re going to get a sharp snapback in activity isn’t thinking about how consumers are going to feel.

They’re going to be very cautious,� said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Markit. “Households and businesses have seen their finances deteriorate. People are buying groceries on their credit cards.�

To understand the consequences of a sudden negative shock on the economy, Behravesh studied how many people returned to flying after the Sept.

11, 2001, terrorist attacks. “It took two and a half years for airline passenger traffic to go back to previous levels,� he said.

No longer able to campaign on a halfcentury low unemployment rate, Trump has begun to tell voters that he can quickly rebuild the economy.

He said measures like the $2.2 trillion rescue package — with more money likely on

the way — can send employment and economic growth to new highs.

Jefrey Pollock, a Democratic pollster, said voters will judge in November whether the Republican president has delivered an economic revival, and they will be taking a similar measure of incumbent members of Congress. “The fact that we’re as partisan as ever doesn’t mean we’re destined to forgive a president who fails on the economy,� Pollock said. “This is a man who championed his economic abilities — and to me there is nothing to suggest that voters will forgive him, since he’s been front and center on the virus response since Day One.�

If his view holds, that plays to the advantage of likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden. But Biden will have to give voters a fuller idea of how he would boost the economy, Pollock said.

Trump has repeatedly sought to portray the situation as the U.S. economy being sideswiped by the “hidden enemy� of COVID-19, which he and his advisers initially downplayed in February and March and later suggested was impossible to foresee.

His message to voters is that his leadership will make the economy even stronger. “Our Economy will BOOM, perhaps like never before!!!� Trump declared Wednesday on Twitter.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who has been leading the stimulus efforts, has said there will be “a very big bounce back,� though he noted that the gains could be uneven.

Churches: Panel reverses Kelly’s ban on large gatherings Continued from A1

Derek Schmidt said in a news release Wednesday evening that the March 24 order “remains in effect.”

The governor’s office did not immediately respond to emails and phone calls seeking clarification. However, Kelly said earlier in the day that “even if we run into a legal snag here, I would encourage the people of Kansas to still act as if ... those orders are in place.”

It was seemingly the final straw for Republicans when Kelly told churches that they couldn’t gather as normal to celebrate one of the most important days in Christianity, Easter.

“I’ve received an absolute outpouring of concerns from people of faith. And it’s not because they were planning on attending a worship service for Easter,” Senate President Susan Wagle said during the panel’s conference call, invoking religious liberties. “They think it’s totally inappropriate for the governor to tell them that they cannot worship in a way and in the manner that they choose to on Sunday.”

Kelly sternly called the panel’s decision “shockingly irresponsible” and an action that will “put every Kansan at risk.” Kelly also took aim at Schmidt, who discouraged police and

cacy group Kansas Interfaith Action weighed in, saying people should adhere to social distancing during any services this weekend and stick with the 10-person limit.

“As faith leaders, of course we place a high value on our religious freedom, but we believe that a) no one is limiting our right to worship, only to gather publicly, and b) the pandemic is an extenuating circumstance that calls us to accept temporary limitations on public worship that would be unacceptable in normal circumstances.”

Those who voted to overturn the executive order were Wagle, Finch, Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, House Speaker Ron Ryckman and House Majority Leader Dan Hawkins.

The two Democrats on the panel, Sen. Anthony Hensley and House Rep. Tom Sawyer, wanted to keep the order.

Kelly also said early Wednesday evening that the vote was a distraction because state officials were starting to talk about whether they need to extend the stayat-home order.

“We really need to be talking about what strategy are we going to have in place to rebuild our economy when we’re able to open back up,” she said, “and how are we gonna do that?”

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly speaks about an hour after Republicans overturned her executive order limiting churches to 10 people or less at services. KANSAS NEWS SERVICE/CELIA LLOPIS JEPSEN/KCUR.ORG prosecutors from breaking up groups of people, which she called a “bizarre, confusing and overtly political attack.”

Schmidt responded that his office “repeatedly advised against issuing the overreaching executive order regulating churches and notified her I would express my concerns publicly if she proceeded. She did, and so did I.” THE FIGHT came as Kansas topped 1,000 cases of COVID-19. Already, Kansas officials say three clusters of coronavirus have been tied directly to church events.

Those and nine other outbreaks from group settings have led to 165 illnesses and 12 deaths combined. And dozens of states have limited church gatherings.

State officials and lawmakers have largely worked in bipartisan fashion the last month or so to help stem the spread of coronavirus and help out Kansans who need unemployment benefits and small business loans. That cooperation, Kelly said, had “enabled Kansas to move swiftly and to save lives.”

But while most churches had canceled

Easter services or moved them online voluntarily, Kelly’s order to keep church attendance to 10 or less (not including choirs, ministers, etc.) rankled Kansas’ Republican leaders.

Kelly said her legal counsel had put the executive order together, and believed it was constitutional. But Wagle, who is running for an open U.S. Senate seat and often clashes with Kelly, disagreed.

While it is “unprecedented times,” Wagle said she believed the executive order restricted “individual rights to practice religious liber-

ties,” adding: “I can’t approve this.”

House Speaker Pro Tem Blaine Finch, who voted to overturn Kelly’s executive order, did press Kansans to stay at home on Easter Sunday.

“We have a duty to look out for one another and not spread this virus,” asking faith leaders to find different ways to help people celebrate the religious holiday.

“Don’t hold services where people have to come in person this weekend or next weekend,” Finch said. “Let’s get through this crisis first.

It’s alright to say: “God, I need some reassurance. ... I’m struggling.”

She also highlighted the importance of maintaining our daily routines as much as possible, as well as practicing healthy habits like getting enough sleep, eating regularly and reading instead of watching television.

“Don’t listen to the news all the time,” she added. “[Y]ou need to be safe by staying informed, but don’t just sit in front of the television such that it becomes repetitious.”

people to practice devotions. One of her favorites is titled “Jesus Calling” (2010) by Sarah Young.

In general, “finding some regularity to what you’re doing” can be centering and help to calm you down, she said.

REGARDING isolation and loneliness brought about by social distancing measures, Tupper suggested it’s OK to recognize how difficult it can be, since “we’re created to be in companionship.”

Along these lines she said: “We gather togeth-

er,” and such gathering is vital to practicing one’s faith. Hence, in a sense, “we’ve lost a community, and we don’t know what to do without it.”

“Not being able to see each other, touch each other,” these things are hard; and no matter how much time we spend on the phone or Zoom/ Facetime calls, “you just can’t replicate” face-toface contact.

the pandemic, Tupper highlighted a number of ways through which we can identify with the disciples after the crucifixion of Jesus, which helps us find new meaning in the story.

Just as we’re currently living in “dark times,” she said, on Good Friday it was “dark and dreary and nasty and Jesus was dead.”

Not only that, but “the disciples had also hidden themselves away … afraid someone or something would come and get them.”

“That’s kind of where we are right now,” she added.

But just as “we’re now in darkness,” there “will also be a rising.”

whatever they’re going through.

Nonetheless, Tupper said, “there are some things that have not changed. … I wake up knowing I have family and friends who love me and care for me. … and I still talk to God.” This is the case “even when we’re separated.”

One of her favorite passages in the New Testament along these lines is Romans 8:9, which translates from the Greek as “...you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you.”

She also said it’s important to look for reminders in our lives of God’s presence, like yellow dandelions or a bright pink moon.

That’s “how I know God is there,” she said.

“There’s always Easter,” even if it lives on in new ways. “Easter is alive in us … alive in our senses and our very being. … even in the midst of darkness.”

And that Easter is alive “calls us to hope … in a future we cannot see or imagine,” which is so important because we all need someone or something to turn to, whether God or one another.

She concluded by saying: “God promises us goodness; I trust that.”

“We’ll live past this.

Sanders bows out, leaving Democrats stronger and focused Bernie Sanders was perhaps the wrong man with the right message.

On Wednesday, the Vermont Senator ended his second presidential quest, acceding a majority of Democrats are casting their lot with Joe Biden for the party’s nomination.

Even so, Sanders’s policies are more important now than ever.

If ever there were a need for universal health care, it’s now. Engulfed by a health crisis, millions of Americans have lost not only their jobs, but also their health insurance.

That their employment dictates their healthcare is wrong.

Likewise, Sanders’s platform of relieving student debt and raising taxes on the super wealthy would come in handy as millions of Americans are seeking unemployment and the country is hemorrhaging debt to help pay for trillions in relief.

And were we on a path to raise the minimum wage — also a Sanders platform — those newly unemployed would perhaps have more of a cushion to see them through. Those in the service industries — hospitality, food, and retail — have been hit particularly hard by stay-at-home orders.

That they also are typically low-wage earners adds insult to injury.

SANDERS’ tenacious demeanor gave many the impression he was incapable of compromise.

Not always.

A decade ago, President

Barack Obama shared Sanders’s hopes for universal healthcare, including a public option where a federal plan would compete against those offered by private industries.

But politics interfered, and what was to become the Affordable Care Act was considerably weakened by those who took their marching orders from the pharmaceutical and health insurance industries.

Rather than balk, Sanders compromised.

The return? Sanders secured $11 billion to launch public health clinics across the country, including that of the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas in Iola.

THE REGISTER favored Biden to Sanders because despite these laudable measures, we felt they were too extreme for a majority of Americans and we doubted he could garner the bipartisan support in Congress necessary to see them to fruition.

Sanders’ exit doesn’t mean we’ll never know whether his ideas would work.

In fact, his widespread popularity has done much to move the Democratic party further to the left ideologically.

But politics is a fickle beast. And being right sometimes doesn’t amount to a hill of beans, or necessarily make the best candidate.

So thanks, Bernie, for your contributions. We hope there’s more to come.

Gasoline is cheap. Too bad we can’t use it In Texas regular gasoline prices dropped below $1.75 a gallon, the lowest price in four years, the kids are out of school and no one is expecting you to show up at work (or even to work, depending).

In normal times, able-bodied Texans facing this situation would heed the call of the road, load up the family vehicle and roll out before dawn to points unknown.

We do love a road trip, the longer the better.

Instead, we’re all gassed up with nowhere to go. Patriotic Texans, like Americans in much of the country, are stuck at home to halt the potential spread of coronavirus, or working harder than ever at jobs deemed critical for the health and welfare of humanity. It is an unnatural constriction on the freedom U.S. citizens have taken for granted, but one we accept for the good of the country.

Gasoline prices reflect the drop in demand for fuel, here and globally. Energy analysts at IHS Markit predict U.S. gasoline consumption will drop by as much as 50% during the shelter-in-place period. Folks are posting photos to social

media of empty streets in Dallas, New York and other urban areas.

Across the U.S., regular gasoline prices last week were, on average, $2 a gallon, 69 cents lower than a year ago, according to the Energy Information Administration. But this is not a great opportunity to buy canisters of gasoline to store in the garage; gasoline only lasts a few months outside of professional storage, and who knows when we can get back behind the wheel again.

Diesel prices also dropped, but not quite as low or by as much, reflecting a different situation. The EIA shows the average U.S. diesel price hit $2.59 a gallon last week, down 49 cents year-on-year. Deliveries of critical and not so critical supplies continue. Grocery stores are scrambling to restock as customers fill their pantries and bathroom cabinets as the weeks at home roll on. A break on diesel prices is welcome as our demand for goods and deliveries ramps up.

The darker side to this story about prices at the pump is the impact on the Texas oil and gas industry, a criti-

cal component of the state’s economy. While the rest of the country has been bemoaning the decline in manufacturing and blue-collar jobs, Texas has been quietly growing its manufacturing base in the form of refineries and chemical plants. In the past decade, the crude oil refining capacity in Texas has grown, according to the EIA, 24% to 6.2 million barrels per day.

The decline in both oil and fuel prices due to the coronavirus pandemic portends dark days for the Texas production, refining and manufacturing jobs. The Railroad Commission is considering whether it has the authority to require oil companies to reduce production to prevent the industry from cratering.

When a group of conservative, free-market-loving politicians is contemplating government intervention in a major industry, the situation is dire.

When Americans finally get to pack up their cars and hit the gas for cross-country adventure, there will be many reasons to rejoice.

Is hydroxychloroquine a ‘game changer?’ We can hope President Donald Trump needs to leave medical treatment and advice to the nation’s doctors. Wielding the bully pulpit as he did over the weekend to promote hydroxychloroquine as a breakthrough COVID-19 drug is premature and potentially harmful.

This is not a medication for Americans to take on their own or insist upon over all other drugs should they become ill with this mysterious new virus. Political pronouncements are not a substitute for medical expertise.

Sold under the name Plaquenil, hydroxychloroquine is in the spotlight because there is no medication approved through regular channels to treat COVID-19.

Doctors are rifling through the existing pharmaceutical toolbox to find something that may help.

Hydroxychloroquine is one drug that’s under consideration. It’s been used since the 1950s to treat lupus and is also a malaria preventive.

But it’s not the only candidate that may hold promise.

Remdesivir, an antiviral developed to treat Ebola, was used successfully to treat one of the first Americans infected with COVID-19. Losartan,

a hypertension medication that may block the COVID-19 virus from entering human cells, could also have benefits.

At this point, it’s too soon to call any of these drugs a “game changer,” Dr. Tim Schacker of the University of Minnesota told an editorial writer in a recent interview.

Large clinical trials are underway here and elsewhere to determine what works best. That means doctors are providing cutting-edge treatments to those who become ill and swiftly analyzing re-

sults. This work is accelerated, but it’s not clear if one drug works or if it’s better than others.

The small studies of hydroxychloroquine that have been done so far are not a replacement for rigorous trials at academic medical centers like the University of Minnesota. That the results from this early, limited research on hydroxychloroquine are mixed underscores the need to scale-up scientific scrutiny.

One recent study involved 30 patients in China. The report, published by the Jour-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Bernie Sanders ended his presidential bid on Wednesday, making Joe Biden the presumptive Democratic nominee to challenge President Donald Trump in a general election campaign that will be waged against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic.

Sanders initially exceeded sky-high expectations about his ability to recreate the magic of his 2016 presidential bid, and even overcame a heart attack last October. But he couldn’t convert unwavering support from progressives into a viable path to the nomination, with “electability” fears fueled by questions about whether his democratic socialist ideology would be palatable to general election voters.

“The path toward victory is virtually impossible,” Sanders told supporters Wednesday. “If I believed we had a feasible path to the nomination I would certainly continue the campaign, but it’s just not there.”

He called Biden a “very decent man” but didn’t offer an explicit endorsement of the former vice president.

Sanders said his name would remain on the ballot in states that have not yet held primaries so he can gain more delegates and “exert significant influence” on the Democratic platform.

Biden, who is backed by much of the party’s establishment, told supporters at a virtual fundraiser that he had a “short conversation” with Sanders on Wednesday.

“He didn’t just run a political campaign. He created a movement,” Biden said. “That’s a good thing for our nation and our future. His campaign has ended, but I know his leadership will continue.”

Trump sought to foment the tension among Democrats by tweeting Wednesday that the party stacked the race against Sanders. The president said the senator’s supporters “should come to the Republican Party.”

Sanders began his latest White House bid facing questions about whether he could win back the supporters who chose him four years ago as an insurgent alternative to Hillary Clinton. Despite winning 22 states in 2016, there were no guarantees he’d be a major presidential contender this cycle.

But Sanders used strong polling and solid fundraising — collected almost entirely from small donations made online — to quiet early doubters. Like the first time, he attracted widespread support from young voters and made new inroads within the Hispanic community, even as his appeal with African Americans remained weak.

Sanders amassed the most votes in Iowa and New Hampshire, which opened primary voting, and cruised to an easy victory in Nevada — seemingly leaving him well positioned to sprint to the Democratic nomination while a deeply crowded and divided field of alternatives sunk around him.

But Biden won a

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont dropped out of the 2020 presidential race on Wednesday as the Democratic nominee. crucial endorsement from influential South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn and a subsequent, larger-than-expected victory in South Carolina, which propelled him into Super Tuesday, when he won 10 of 14 states.

In a matter of days, Biden’s former Democratic rivals lined up to endorse him. His campaign had appeared on the brink of collapse after New Hampshire but found new life as the rest of the party’s more moderate establishment coalesced around him as an alternative to Sanders.

Things only got worse the following week when Sanders lost Michigan, where he had campaigned hard and upset Clinton in 2016. He was also beaten in Missouri, Mississippi and Idaho the same night, and the results were so decisive that Sanders headed to Vermont without speaking to the media.

The coronavirus outbreak essentially froze the campaign, preventing Sanders from holding the large rallies that had become his trademark and shifting the primary calendar.

It became increasingly unclear where he could notch a victory that would help him regain ground against Biden.

Though he will not be the nominee, Sanders was a key architect of many of the social policies that dominated the Democratic primary, including a “Medicare for All” universal, government-funded health care plan, tuition-free public college, a $15 minimum wage and sweeping efforts to fight climate change under the “Green New Deal.”

Sanders began the 2020 race by arguing that he was the most electable Democrat

against Trump. He said his working-class appeal could help Democrats win back Rust Belt states that Trump won in 2016, including Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. But as the race wore on, the senator reverted to his 2016 roots, repeatedly stressing that he backs a “political revolution” from the bottom up under the slogan “Not me.

Us.” SANDERS, 78, also faced persistent questions about being the field’s oldest candidate.

Those were pushed into the spotlight on Oct. 1, when he was at a rally in Las Vegas and asked for a chair to be brought on stage so he could sit down. Suffering from chest pains afterward, he underwent surgery to insert two stents because of a blocked artery, and his campaign revealed two days later that he had suffered a heart attack.

A serious health scare that might have derailed other campaigns seemed only to help Sanders as his already-strong fundraising got stronger and rising stars on the Democratic left, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, endorsed him. Many supporters said the heart attack only strengthened their resolve to back him.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren outshone him throughout much of the summer,

but Sanders worked his way back up in the polls. The two progressive candidates spent months refusing to attack each other, though Sanders offered a strong defense of Medicare for All after Warren offered a plan for a transition to it that would take years.

But they clashed bitterly, if briefly, in January, when Warren said that Sanders had suggested during a 2018 private meeting that a woman couldn’t be elected president. Sanders denied saying that, but Warren refused to shake his outstretched hand after a debate in Iowa.

Warren left the race after a dismal Super Tuesday showing in which she finished third in her own state.

Any lingering tension seemed to fade by Wednesday when Warren tweeted her thanks to Sanders for “fighting so relentlessly for America’s working families.”

With the leading progressive now out of the race, Biden moved to appeal to their supporters on Wednesday.

“I hope you will join us,” he said in a statement. “You are more than welcome. You’re needed.”

But Sanders made clear that while he is exiting the campaign, he will still be a force.

“Please stay in this fight with me,” he told his backers. “The struggle continues.”

Linda Tripp dies at 70 Senator says she’s selling stock holdings WASHINGTON (AP) — Linda Tripp, whose secretly recorded conversations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky led to the 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton, died Wednesday at age 70.

Her death was confirmed by attorney Joseph Murtha. He provided no further details.

In August 1994, Tripp became a public affairs specialist at the Pentagon, where Le-

winsky worked after being a White House intern. The two reportedly became friends.

Tripp made secret tapes of conversations with Lewinsky, who told her she had had an affair with Clinton.

Tripp turned almost 20 hours of tapes over to Kenneth Starr, the independent prosecutor investigating the president, prompting the investigation that led to his impeachment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia said Wednesday that she will liquidate her stock portfolio and move the money to investment funds after coming under scrutiny for transactions she and her husband made just before the coronavirus sent markets reeling.

Loeffler and her husband dumped substantial portions of their portfolio and purchased new stocks, including as much as $415,000 in DuPont de Nemours, a chemical company that manufactures protective equipment in exceedingly high demand because of the coronavirus pandemic. Loeffler’s husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, is chairman of the New York Stock Exchange.

The sales and purchases came as Congress was receiving briefings on the seriousness of the then-burgeoning epidemic. Loeffler has said that she had no involvement in the trades and

Sen. Kelly Loeffler that they were managed by third-party advisers.

On Wednesday, Loeffler said she would sell her holdings in individual stocks and move the investments into mutual and exchange-traded funds to avoid the political distraction. She said she has “not profited or attempted to profit” in her few months in the Senate.

Loeffler was appointed to the Senate in January by Georgia’s GOP governor after the retirement of Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson.

“Amid this health crisis, the temptation to circulate lies and mis-

information is too great for the media and my political opponents,” Loeffler said. “That is why I’m taking steps to remove this temptation so that we can turn our focus back to where it belongs: on combating COVID-19 and restoring our country to health and economic recovery.”

The Georgia senator is up for her first election this year and faces a competitive primary challenge from Republican Rep. Doug Collins. He accused her of profiting while “people are losing their jobs, their businesses, their retirements.”

Loeffler is not the only senator to come under fire for stock transactions made just before the market started to drop. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., whose sales of as much as $1.7 million in stocks have come under the most scrutiny, requested an ethics review of himself after it was revealed that his wife sold be-

tween roughly $600,000 and $1.7 million in more than 30 transactions in late January and midFebruary. Burr, who has denied trading on inside information, has been contacted by the FBI. Loeffler and her husband offloaded anywhere between about $1.1 million and $2.8 million in stock before the economy started to falter. They also invested between $315,000 and $650,000 into real estate investment firm Blackstone, tech company Oracle and Citrix Systems — a company that develops workplace and telecommuting software that could be in high demand as people have sheltered at home during the virus.

“Let me be clear: I do not have to do this,” Loeffler said. “I’m doing this because this transparency is being abused for political gain, and the steps I’ve taken to distance myself from these accounts are being ignored.”

ACRH: Pandemic hurting bottom line Continued from A1

gency room visits, he said. About 75% of the hospital’s revenue comes from outpatient services, Peterson said, so the recent decrease in visits likely will translate to a significant loss in revenue.

Some providers have reduced or temporarily suspended services at ACRH. Some patients have chosen to postpone treatment themselves.

Some outpatient clinics continue to operate, while some are offering telehealth appointments with physicians based elsewhere.

The hospital’s inpatient count — which includes those admitted to the hospital as well as those recovering from surgeries or other procedures — also has dropped. ACRH’s inpatient count has been lower than expected for several months, following a national trend that emphasizes outpatient and home-based care rather than admitting patients to the hospital.

In recent months, the hospital’s daily number of patients averaged between 3.7 to 5.8.

But ACRH is trying to reduce in-patient numbers even further, Peterson said. That’s both to minimize the number of people in the hospital to avoid spreading illness and to prepare for any possible surge in local patients who become ill from the COVID-19 coronavirus.

As of Wednesday, no positive COVID-19 cases had been reported in Allen County with 68 tests conducted. All other regional counties, except Anderson, have reported positive cases.

IN ADDITION to the revenue losses from reduced services, the hospital’s expenses have increased because of the monitoring and preparation for the virus.

ACRH has restricted visitors and screens everyone who comes into the hospital for signs of illness and travel history. The main entrance is staffed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for screenings, and the emergency room entrance is staffed at all times.

The expenses for those salaries are directly related to the coronavirus and could be reimbursed by the stimulus program.

Also, a reduction in patients and services has not translated to a reduction in staff.

staff, though some nurses and others may have seen reduced hours, Peterson said.

ACRH needs to keep staff available in the event of a surge of patients from COVID-19, Peterson said. Plus, ACRH is expected to begin operating under a lease with Saint Luke’s Health System effective July 1, and ACRH employees will then become Saint Luke’s employees. Layoffs could complicate that transition.

But administrators have needed to get creative to keep staff members busy during slow periods, Peterson and Traci Plumlee, the hospital’s public relations director, said.

For example, the reduction in surgeries has left the surgical nursing team with few responsibilities. Some are manning the entrances to screen patients and visitors.

Most of the surgical nurses are cross-training in other departments, so they will be available to assist with any possible surge of coronavirus patients.

“They have the knowledge and training so it’s not like they’re learning something new, they’re just dusting it off and reacclimating to a different department,” Plumlee said.

IF COVID-19 cases were to hit Allen County, the most serious cases likely would be transferred to larger facilities in Kansas City, Wichita or elsewhere.

That’s because small, rural hospitals like ACRH do not have intensive care units and are not prepared for longterm ventilation needs.

“If someone needs breathing assistance like supplemental oxygen or temporary ventilation, we can do that, but not long-term, intensive care,” Peterson said.

ACRH is licensed for 25 beds, but could increase that number to around 29 or so if the county saw a surge of coronavirus cases. The bigger problem is staffing, Peterson said.

“Our limitation is not space,” he said. “It’s having enough staff to care for those patients.”

The hospital currently has enough personal protection equipment (PPE) — masks, gloves, gowns, face shields — but could face shortages if there were a surge in coronavirus patients. Administrators and the county’s emergency management department were able to receive some additional PPE but other requests remain on back order.

College Basketball: Kansas State Wildcats

Wildcats face another rebuild

By KELLIS ROBINETT The Kansas City Star

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State basketball coach Bruce Weber channeled his inner weatherman four months ago when he said the Wildcats were planning to bring in seven new players despite only losing three seniors at the conclusion of the season.

His forecast let everyone know that a cold front was on the way, and it arrived in full force earlier this week when rising junior point guard David Sloan entered the transfer portal.

Current conditions are worse than predicted. Three K-State basketball players graduated and five others decided to continue their college careers elsewhere, leaving the Wildcats with eight scholarship spots to fill. That is the most roster turnover Weber has overseen during his time in Manhattan, surpassing the mass exodus of 2015 that saw Marcus Foster leave for Creighton and KState welcome a seven-man recruiting class that featured Barry Brown, Kamau Stokes and Dean Wade.

Weber is once again hitting the metaphorical reset button.

For the second time during his eight-year run with the Wildcats, he will bring in more new players than he will return familiar faces.

Circumstances are different this time. Five years ago, Weber cleaned house after a dysfunctional season that was marred by suspensions and disciplinary issues. Now, players are mostly leaving in search of increased playing time while K-State looks to upgrade talent.

Still, it’s a similar challenge.

The Wildcats are coming off a a disappointing 11-win season and last-place finish in the Big 12 standings. Next season will be a full-on rebuild, and Weber will have to tackle it with eight new players and a roster that is unlikely to be allowed on campus for a traditional summer of workouts and practices. Weber hoped

By MARC ENGEL Fort Worth Star-Telegram

to get a head start on the rebuilding process by taking the Wildcats on a trip to Europe this summer for two weeks of exhibition games and team bonding, but that excursion has been all but canceled because of the coronavirus pan-

demic.

As it stands, K-State is set to return 39.6 points from last year’s team and lose 44.7 points.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Construction has not yet begun at Colonial Country Club for the Charles Schwab Challenge, the UFC will have fights on an island, and now MLB is considering a plan to play games in empty stadiums.

It will be like every game is in Oakland.

Television is so starved for live sports programming that despite the circumstances the PGA Tour may yet play in Fort Worth next month for the Charles Schwab Challenge. One week, or so, later Arizona could be the home to all of Major League Baseball.

According to reports from ESPN and the Associated Press, MLB and the MLB Players Association have considered a plan to start the 2020 season with every team housed, and playing regular-season games, all over Phoenix.

You know how the old saying goes, “If you really need the money, you’ll play baseball in front of zero fans, in 115-degree heat, under a coronavirus quarantine.”

Meanwhile, the PGA Tour has yet to formally announce any change to its event in Fort Worth, scheduled for May 21 to 24. Colonial members are hopeful some form of the annual tournament will take place, but as of Tuesday construction of the temporary structures for the event had not started.

Take that as a sign.

We all crave for sports to return because it will be a sign that our lives will have returned to normal, too.

Exploring every option is a good idea, even if the concepts themselves are not.

We have to wait. All of us.

Until you can come

Newsome makes sense considering current starting punter Dustin Colquitt is entering the final year of a contract that pays a base salary of $1.9 million in 2020.

Colquitt will also celebrate his 38th birthday May 6.

the Los Angeles Chargers but was released before the start of the regular season. He finished his college career averaging 44 yards per punt.

This marks the second straight offseason the Chiefs have brought in a punter during the offseason to challenge Colquitt, who is the longesttenured current Chiefs player. Last year, the Chiefs signed Jack Fox, who also spent a brief period on the practice squad in late October during the regular season.

Newsome faces a stiff challenge to make the roster in Kansas City, and that rough road goes straight through Colquitt, a 15-year veteran.

In other position-related news, the Chiefs agreed to terms on a one-year deal with running back DeAndre Washington, Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports reported.

Washington, a former teammate of quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ at Texas Tech, entered the league as a fifth-round pick with the Raiders.

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers

Closure unlikely for LeBron without trophy to show for LOS ANGELES (AP) — Instead of preparing for a playoff run, LeBron James is mostly spending the spring playing hoops with his teenage sons and enjoying tea time with his young daughter.

And when he isn’t bingewatching “Tiger King” with his wife, he is scanning the news for information on whether the coronavirus pandemic will allow the Los Angeles Lakers to finish their impressive season chasing an NBA championship.

James is still optimistic about the Lakers’ future, but he also knows safety comes first.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to have any closure if we do not have an opportunity to finish this season,” James said from his home Wednesday on a conference call with Lakers beat reporters.

The Lakers were cruising

toward their first playoff berth since 2013 when the NBA season was suspended March 11. They have the Western Conference’s best record at 49-14, leading the second-place Clippers (44-20) by 5 1/2 games and trailing only Milwaukee (53-12) in the overall league standings.

The Lakers did it following a thorough roster turnover last summer headlined by the arrival of Anthony Davis. They also persevered through a stressful preseason trip to China, followed by the death of franchise icon Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash in January.

James’ 17th NBA season is obviously unique for many reasons, but he is uncommonly proud of what the Lakers have accomplished so far.

BY GEORGE DICKIE

Issa Rae

OF ‘INSECURE’ ON HBO How do you think the comedy on “Insecure” has changed over four seasons?

I think in writing the show, obviously we write jokes in there but, since the inception, I never wanted to feel like it was a traditional sitcom where every line was a joke. You still want the dialogue to feel naturalistic.

There’s that element. And ... it is more about the situational; the situational element and the situational side of things. But I think we haven’t changed the way we approach comedy in the show over the course of four seasons.

APRIL 12

9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00

Is there more pressure now to create in this environment where you have so much support and love? Does that influence how you approach the writing?

We talk about that all the time and Prentice (Penny, an executive producer) and I are really clear about shutting out the outside world in the writers’ room. ... But I think – initially I was like, what is all this, what is all this pressure?

But then someone told me like, “No, people really view your show as realistic and they see themselves in these characters and so when they don’t see a condom present, they’re just like, ”Oh, I wouldn’t do that,“ and it takes you out the story.

And I think that’s, for me, what alarmed me was like, oh, if it’s taking you out the story, then I don’t want that and so let’s make sure that our viewers stay engaged.

And beyond that, I think the other feedback – the instant feedback can be daunting, but it’s just like it’s part of it. That’s the culture that we’re in currently and all you can do is just continue to create and stay true to your story.

By DAVID KOENIG AP Airlines Writer

The number of Americans getting on airplanes has sunk to a level not seen in more than 60 years as people shelter in their homes to avoid catching or spreading the new coronavirus.

The Transportation Security Administration screened fewer than 100,000 people on Tuesday, a drop of 95% from a year ago.

Historical daily numbers only go back so far, but the nation averaged 97,000 passengers a day in 1954, according to figures from trade group Airlines for America. It was the dawn of the jet age. The de Havilland Comet, the first commercial jetliner, was just a few years old, and Boeing was running test flights with the jet that would become the iconic 707.

As air travel became safer and more affordable, the passenger numbers grew nearly every year. There was no commercial air travel in the U.S. for several days after the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and people were slow to get back on planes in following months.

It could be longer this time. Polling firm Public Opinion Strategies said that fewer than half the

Americans it surveyed about 10 days ago say they will get on a plane within six months of the spread of the virus flattening.

TSA, which was created after the 9/11 attacks, has been chronicling the plunge in air traffic, posting numbers on how many people its officers screen each day.

On March 1, it was nearly 2.3 million — almost the same as a year earlier. The one-way roller coaster ride — a sheer downward scream — began in the second week of March and slowed only in the last several days, when there wasn’t much more room to drop.

“The falloff is amazing to see,” said Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst. “The good news is that it shows people are taking shelter-in-place orders seriously.”

Airlines have drastically cut the number of flights to match demand and save cash, but even with far fewer flights, most seats are empty.

United Airlines says it is losing $100 million a day. Delta Air Lines says it is burning through $60 million a day. All the leading U.S. carriers have applied for federal grants to cover payroll costs through September and some are likely to seek federal loans.

Kansas postal employee sentenced TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A woman who ran a small Kansas post office has been sentenced to probation after she allegedly stole gift cards from the mail.

Stacy A. Vasko was sentenced Tuesday to three years of probation, 40 hours of community service and ordered to pay $200 in restitution. She pleaded guilty in federal court to misdemeanor obstructing mail. She originally was charged with two counts of mail theft by a postal employee, The Wichita Eagle reported.

At the time of the thefts, Vasko was living in Salina and was the only postal employee at the Brookville post office, which was open just four hours a day.

The investigation began in February 2019, when a greeting card containing a $200 gift card arrived at its destination taped shut after being opened and without the gift card.

James: Willing to playing in one location to complete games Continued from B1

been able to do this year (with) a first-year coach, first-year system, a whole new coaching staff, bringing on so many new pieces to our team this year,” James said. “I honestly didn’t think that we would be able to come together as fast as we did, just having so many new pieces (and) bringing in Anthony. He spent seven years in New Orleans, so he was coming into a new system, playing along with myself, and how we would be able to come together? I thought it would take us a lot longer than it did, but I was wrong. I was very wrong about that.”

And then all that good work abruptly stopped four weeks ago. Two unidentified Lakers players subsequently tested positive for coro-

navirus, but the Lakers say James and his teammates are all healthy after they completed their 14-day isolation.

James will be deeply disappointed if the Lakers don’t get a chance to test themselves during a playoff run, yet he realizes what’s most important in the upcoming weeks and months.

James initially expressed reluctance about playing games in empty arenas, or the possibility of NBA teams gathering in the same city to complete the season in a form of sports quarantine. The 16-time All-Star selection now says he is up for anything that’s safe and smart.

“If it’s in one single, isolated destination, if it’s Las Vegas or somewhere else that can hold us and keep us in the

best possible chance to be safe, not only on the floor but also off the floor as well, then those conversations will be had,” James said.

“Once this thing gets a good handle on it and the people in the higher ranks understand it, if they know we are safe, then we can make the next step. But the safety is always the most important, and then we go from there.”

James isn’t yet back at work with Mike Mancias, his personal trainer. Instead, he says he is training with his wife, Savannah, and playing plenty of hoops with Bronny James, their 15-year-old son, at a thoroughly sterilized court owned by a friend.

He also shoots hoops outside at his own home with the whole family.

James is doing week-

ly meditation, but says his mental state is outstanding thanks to his family. He has frequently spoken about missing time with loved ones during the grind of the NBA season, so he is enjoying this intensive togetherness with his kids.

“They wake up every day in a positive mind frame,” James said with a laugh. “Maybe one reason is they’re not actually in school, so I know they get to sleep in a lot more now.

But also they’re just so appreciative of life. ...

Just being able to see my kids wake up with that positive attitude helps. For me, I wake up, I’m able to get a nice breakfast, and then I train. And when I’m training, I’m always in a very positive state of mind.”

Players play the games, but you all make the atmosphere. Sports needs fans.

Without you in the stands, every game becomes that much “easier.”

You don’t know it, but you make the games much harder. Without you, it’s a pickup game,

a scrimmage, or another round of golf.

The Oakland A’s, Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays would disagree, but to play an MLB game in an empty stadium, save for TV cameras, is not an MLB game. It’s an MLB practice.

silly is that?

Amen, Allen.

Cubs v Cardinals in Scottsdale is not a regular-season game. Yankees and Red Sox from Surprise, with not a single obnoxious drunk fan watching in the stands is wrong.

While we all are desperate for anything that resembles our previous routine, and would watch live cockroach fencing, big time sports in empty arenas is a sequel to Jaws. It’s a terrible idea wrapped in a shameless money grab.

We may watch a game or two, but then we will quickly return to Season 5 of Exotic Joe and Tiger King, or whatever other viral hit Netflix has created that unintentionally makes us feel better about our life choices.

MLB’s stupid proposal to play ball for a TV audience from Arizona is not “for the good of America” as super agent Scott Boras told ESPN. This is an attempt to turn on the money for the players, teams and the networks, so baseball and its players can recoup the cash that they are losing.

I would do it as an owner. For players who don’t know how to manage their seven-figure incomes, they have to do it.

for America is not playing baseball. The only good thing for America is to take care of this tiny, little issue so we can reopen, and return to our regularly scheduled programming.

UFC president Dana White announced he plans to host the league’s next major event on a private island on April 18.

Call it “UFC Lord of the Flies.”

This insane idea will fly because it’s a sport that involves hand-tohand combat between competitors in something called an octagon.

Every other sport sans fans is a dud.

Take the fans out of a significant basketball game. Suddenly LeBron James at the line for two free throws in an empty gym is an empty feeling, even if the game is tied with two seconds left.

Imagine Tiger Woods playing for the green jacket at Augusta with no fans crying their eyes out.

Does an NHL game without fans banging on the glass, or booing the horrendous officials, feel like a game?

No. Because it’s not.

People watching performers in close physical proximity raises the degree of difficulty of a game to levels us commoners can’t conceive.

Take any task, and now give yourself an audience. If you don’t feel a difference, you’re a corpse.

The players know the difference.

There is a reason they call it The Show.

It’s not a Show without you. Until you can come back to the games, no else should, either.

We all saw Jaws II. It sucked.

K-State rebuild: Continued from B1

the team,” Weber said in an interview last month. “Those are the two I see as leaders right now, but we will have to see how it unfolds as we get everyone together.”

The good news for KState and Weber: They have been here before and recovered nicely.

The Wildcats reached the NCAA Tournament three straight times with Brown, Stokes and Wade leading the way, reaching the Elite Eight in 2018 and sharing a Big 12 championship in 2019.

Weber capitalized on that success by lining up his finest recruiting class as K-State’s coach.

Nijel Pack, Luke Kasubke, Davion Bradford, Selton Miguel, Seryee Lewis, Rudi Williams and UTEP transfer Kaosi Ezeagu give the Wildcats a consensus top 25 recruiting class, per the recruiting sites.

Rivals ranks it No. 14.

Bradford, Miguel and Pack are all fourstar recruits, and everyone in the group has upside.

The Wildcats can add even more talent if they land Donovan Williams next week. The four-star guard from Lincoln, Neb. has KState in his final three along with Oklahoma State and Texas. Adding one of the top unsigned players in the country, and a talented score, this late in the process could push Weber’s recruiting class into the top 10.

But bringing in talent and coaching it to a 20-win season are two entirely different things.

K-State won 17

games during the 201516 season when Brown, Stokes and Wade were freshmen. All three averaged nearly 10 points per game and showed early promise. But they also benefited from opposing teams focusing on veterans like Wesley Iwundu, D.J. Johnson, Stephen Hurt and Justin Edwards.

None of K-State’s five returning players (Montavious Murphy, Antonio Gordon, Levi Stockard, DaJaun Gordon and McGuirl) are currently at that level.

At the same time, K-State’s incoming recruiting class might be better suited to make an immediate impact that Brown, Stokes and Wade were five years ago.

The Wildcats will need to replace more scoring than it lost back then, following the departures of Xavier Sneed, Cartier Diarra and Makol Mawien.

But Miguel, Pack, Kasubke and potentially Donovan Williams seem capable.

“I think they are a little bit ahead,” Weber said. “A few of them are. Recruiting-wise, these guys are much higher-rated. It’s hard to tell until they come.

Nijel is similar to Kamau, probably a little bit better passer to start.

Selton gives you that toughness that Barry had. Hopefully Montavious and Antonio can give us what Dean gave us.”

The challenge will be similar.

Weber is confident he can guide the Wildcats back to prominence with a new crop of recruits, even if it is bigger than expected.
