SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The Board of Supervisors today voted unanimously to make San Diego County's million Small Business Stimulus Grant program available to all businesses affected by COVID-19 safety restrictions.Supervisors voted to expand the small business relief program via teleconference after hearing an update on the county's efforts to combat the spread of the virus as well as information about future vaccine distribution.They also heard from numerous businesses owners angry over the newest state restrictions mandated by Gov. Gavin Newsom.The restrictions, which went into effect at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, were triggered when intensive-care unit bed availability remained below 15% afterSaturday's daily update, according to the California Department of Public Health. New infections and hospitalizations from the coronavirus have surged in San Diego County, which reported its third-highest daily total of COVID-19 cases on Monday with 1,998.It was the seventh consecutive day with more than 1,000 new cases and the 15th time in the last 18 days. A record 2,287 infections were reported Friday. The cases reported Monday bring the county's cumulative total to 94,169.No new deaths were reported Monday with the total remaining at 1,062. The county has received nearly 0 million in federal CARES Act funding to help residents and businesses since the pandemic started earlier this year.Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, who proposed expanding the business aid, said he understands the impact a regional stay-at-home order has on business owners, and ``expanding this economic stimulus program will provide bridge funding to support them and their workers while the restrictions to slow the spread are in place.''Fletcher, who also serves as co-chair of the county's COVID-19 subcommittee, added that he understands people are frustrated by restrictions, but ``when we go from 200 to 2,000 cases a day, we have to change what we're doing.''Dr. Wilma Wooten, county public officer, told the board that the state of California is anticipating 327,000 doses of a COVID vaccine in mid December, with San Diego County expected to receive 28,275 doses in the state's first round of distribution.``I'm encouraged that our way forward will be seen with vaccinations to (create) herd immunity,'' she said. As she has at other county meetings, Wooten again urged residents to follow guidelines, including washing hands and maintain social distancing.``We can flatten the curve again,'' she said. ``We can come out of this in a way that saves lives.''Many residents who called in during the update's public comment period voiced their frustrations over how the restrictions are harming them, their families and businesses. Along with business closures, the restrictions also apply to certain outdoor facilities, including playgrounds.Paula Steger, co-owner of Artistic Laser Productions, said while it's important for everybody to wear a mask and wash their hands, it's also `` time to go about your daily lives.''She said her business lost ,000 worth of contracts because of restrictions.``I was 7 when the Hong Kong flu hit,'' Steger said. ``The world didn't shut down then, and we got through it. I'm done. I'm going to work wherever I can in a COVID-safe manner.''Dr. Holly Yang, president of the San Diego County Medical Society, reminded residents that the fastest way to reopen the economy is to get the virus under control.``We are at a critical moment -- the majority of the county is doing the best it can to reduce spread of the virus,'' Yang said.A motion by Supervisor Jim Desmond that would allow certain county staff not to enforce closure of playgrounds failed. ``This is for our kids,'' who have a much better tolerance towards the coronavirus, said Desmond, board vice-chairman.His colleague Dianne Jacob said she'd also like to see the playgrounds opened up, but it would be irresponsible of the county to defy state orders.``Whether we like it or not, that's what exists,'' she said. ``Otherwise, that encourages civil disobedience.'' If more residents had complied with basic prevention guidelines, the county wouldn't be dealing with case spikes, Jacob said, adding, ``Just wear the damn mask.''Board Chairman Greg Cox said he was also sympathetic to Desmond's motion, but couldn't support it. Cox said he disagrees with portions of state mandates, but the county is ``in a crisis situation,'' which may get much worse before the start of 2021. 4471

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego-based Agena Bioscience announced today that its diagnostic system for detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, received Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The company was granted approval Monday on an emergency basis for its MassARRAY SARS-CoV-2 panel for use in clinical laboratories.The FDA's Emergency Use Authorization allows for the use of unapproved medical products during an emergency to diagnose, treat or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions. Emergency Use Authorization has been granted to a large number of companies since the COVID-19 pandemic began for rapid approval of diagnostic tests, personal protective equipment, ventilators and other devices.``Agena is proud to offer a truly scalable platform to support the increasing demand for high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 testing,'' said Agenda CEO Peter Dansky. ``To address the crisis presented by COVID-19, labs need to cost- effectively process large numbers of samples. The MassARRAY System is the perfect tool for that.''The company says its panel targets five regions of the viral genome, and that with its authorization, the company hopes to help laboratories increase testing without the concerns of instrument or reagent availability.``The unique characteristics of the Agena detection technology provide significant supply chain advantages,'' said Jason Halsey, Agena's senior vice president of technology and operations. ``Agena proactively sourced and secured materials to provide uninterrupted product availability to our customers. Agena's MassARRAY SARS-CoV-2 panel kits and instruments are ready for immediate deployment, and we are equipped to supply mill 1741

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Playgrounds in San Diego County can reopen to the public Wednesday, despite initially being closed under COVID-19 restrictions, after state health officials reversed course.Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, led a group of a dozen legislators who sent a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom last week urging him to remove playgrounds from the stay-at-home order. They claimed opening playgrounds "is necessary for the mental and physical health of children to have opportunities to expend their physical energy and play." They also noted that in some low-income neighborhoods, "families may have little to no outdoor space of their own available."Newsom and the California Department of Public Health revised statewide public health guidelines on Wednesday to allow for public playgrounds to remain open."Every parent knows how important playgrounds are for our youngest Californians," Gonzalez said. "A huge thank you to Governor Newsom for hearing our collective concern and rethinking how we can open play structures for our kids."Playgrounds were closed earlier in the pandemic before being reopened in September. Then, with a spike in case rates and the state's issuance of a regional stay-at-home order, which took effect late Sunday night across all of Southern California, playgrounds closed again.Pressure from parents and legislators have now caused the state to reopen the playgrounds.According to the state's website, "playgrounds may remain open to facilitate physically distanced personal health and wellness through outdoor exercise. Playgrounds located on schools that remain open for in-person instruction, and not accessible by the general public, may remain open and must follow guidance for schools and school-based programs."San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond made a motion at the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday to defy the state order and not enforce the playground closure. It was rejected 3-2.Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said his conversation with state officials proved productive, and gave credit to Gonzales -- his wife -- for her work."Kids in San Diego County can now enjoy local playgrounds. This is something that can be done safely and make the lives of families easier," Fletcher said. "My conversations with California Governor Gavin Newsom and Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly worked, and I appreciate their partnership on this adjustment.""Thank you to everyone who worked cooperatively with the state, to bring about this adjustment, our collective efforts made a difference, special shout out to my wife, supermom, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez," he said. 2621

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine released a study Friday looking into loneliness in elderly adults, and found it can be overcome in a variety of ways.The researchers noticed what appeared to be an epidemic of loneliness among adults in senior living or retirement communities, and sought to identify why. According to the study, 85% of the interviewed residents reported moderate to severe levels of loneliness.Dr. Dilip V. Jeste, senior author of the study and senior associate dean for the Center of Healthy Aging and professor of psychiatry and neurosciences at UC San Diego School of Medicine, said loneliness can be deadly.``Loneliness rivals smoking and obesity in its impact on shortening longevity,'' Jeste said. ``It is a growing public health concern, and it's important that we identify the underlying causes of loneliness from the seniors' own perspectives so we can help resolve it and improve the overall health, well-being and longevity of our aging population.''RELATED: Resource guide: keeping seniors protected from abuseJeste said he found few published, qualitative studies about loneliness among older adults, particularly in the independent living section of senior housing communities.He said several personal and environmental factors impacted the study subjects, all 100 of whom lived in an independent housing section of senior- living centers in San Diego.``Loneliness is subjective,'' Jeste said. ``Different people feel lonely for different reasons despite having opportunities and resources for socialization. This is not a one-size-fits-all topic.''One seemingly common factor for most older adults was loss. Losing spouses, siblings and friends can be difficult at any age, but as contacts from younger years dwindle, Jeste said he found that many residents found making new friends difficult and not as fulfilling as those with whom they grew up. Another common thread was loss of purpose.``We heard powerful comments like, 'It's kind of gray and incarcerating,'' Jeste said. ``Others expressed a sense of 'not being attached, not having very much meaning and not feeling very hopeful' or 'being lost and not having control.'''RELATED: Making It in San Diego: Taking care of aging parentsSome older adults found ways to cope effectively with loneliness, the study -- published in the Jan. 10 issue of Aging and Mental Health -- found. Performing a good act for someone else or coming to terms with aging are broad but effective techniques to cope with loneliness, the study found.``One resident told us, 'I've accepted the aging process. I'm not afraid of it. I used to climb mountains. I want to keep moving, even if I have to crawl. I have to be realistic about getting older, but I consider and accept life as a transition,''' Jeste said. ``Another resident responded, 'I may feel alone, but that doesn't mean I'm lonely. I'm proud I can live by myself.'''According to the National Center for Health Statistics, by 2029, more than 20% of the U.S. population will be over the age of 65. Jeste said the study would help develop strategies to deal with an aging population. 3150
