UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA TOP 120,000 Fatimah Waseem Todayat 2:45pm
Unemployment claims due to the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic continue to pour in. Nearly 14,500 Fairfax County residents filed unemployment claims on the week of April 11, according to the latest unemployment data.
Overall, the number of statewide claims between March 21 and April 11 — 410,762 — is only 67,000 fewer than the average of all initial claims filed during the last three economic recessions, according to the Virginia Employment Commission. More than 121,000 Northern Virginia residents have filed claims since business closures began. The latest claims figure, however, represents a decrease of 42,750 statewide claims and 6,848 countywide claims from the previous week, according to data from the commission. The commission noted that the overall 29 percent decrease in the number of claims suggests that most people filed unemployment claims during the week of April 4. Here’s more from the commission: > Initial claims measure emerging unemployment and the recent increase > in initial claims in the Commonwealth is clearly attributable to > impacts from the COVID-19 virus. The accommodation and food service > industries have comprised the majority of these initial claims. > Because of their prevalence in those and other affected industries > like retail and health care, younger workers and female workers have > been disproportionally impacted. The number of initial claims filed > during the week ending April 11, 2020 was 45.6 times higher than the > comparable 2019 week-an increase of 102,326 claims. Despite a dip in the number of claims, the commission noted that claims still remain at historically high levels. On the national level, the number of initial claims has totaled roughly 5.2 million, a decrease of 1.4 million from the previous week. During a comparable week in 2019, only 196,364 claims were filedcountrywide.

KEAM: ‘NO CONSENSUS’ AMONG OFFICIALS ON NEW VIENNA ELECTION DATEAshley Hopko
Today at 12:05pm
At a digital town hall yesterday, Del. Mark Keam (D-35th) discussed potential issues for delaying the fast-approaching Town of Vienna election.
Gov. Ralph Northam issued a statement several days ago asking the General Assembly to postpone the upcoming May 5 election to November so people can avoid all non-essential outings to ease the COVID-19 pandemic. Northam suggested that local elections be moved to Nov. 3, but Vienna Mayor Laurie DiRocco issued a letter in response saying she wouldprefer June 23.
“The ability for local elections to get attention during the presidential-election cycle will be extremely challenging and expensive for candidates who usually have limited resources and budgets,” she wrote. While Keam said he agrees the election should get pushed — and encourages all of his delegates to follow CDC guidelines and social distancing order — he also said that there are reasons elections usually occur during a certain time of year. Given the uncertainty and confusion about the coronavirus pandemic, Keam said there is currently “absolutely no consensus” on when the elections should be held. The issue with holding the election on June 23, according to Keam, is that the federal elections are set to be held around that time as well — which is out of the control of smaller districts. “You can’t have two different ballots being issued on the sameday,” he said.
If the election were to even be held a few days after June 23, like the 25 or 26 for example, this wouldn’t work either, Keam said, because the polling machines need to be locked up for 30 days in accordance with state law. This gives election staffers time to recount votes if necessary, clear the machines and inspect the machines to ensure “integrity in the voting process.” Keam also brought up the recent Wisconsin elections, which were held earlier this month. Despite expert suggestions to stay home, many voters chose not to fill out absentee ballots and instead headed to the polls in person. “We’ll know in about two weeks how many of those people went out to vote last Tuesday ended up with COVID. We hope very few, but there is a chance the epidemic might spike in Wisconson because the election was held against the wishes of some government officials,” Keam said. “We don’t want that happening in Virginia.” Next Wednesday (April 22), the General Assembly will consider Northam’s request to move the local elections across Virginia toNov. 3.

LOCAL WOMAN HOSTS GARDEN FUNDRAISER FOR SHARE OF MCLEANAshley Hopko
April 16, 2020 at 4:30pm A McLean resident and her two kids recently decided to help a local non-profit while also providing neighbors with spring flowers to adorntheir yards.
Lynley Ogilvie and her two teenagers, George and Jayne, who attend McLean High School raised more than $5,000 for SHARE of McLean by selling flowers and plants to neighbors who wanted to start gardens. SHARE is based in McLean and helps people who are struggling with food insecurity and poverty, according to its website, adding that the organization can assist with paying bills, clothing and other needs. As a professional landscape designer, Lynley said she was inspired to start the fundraiser after receiving questions and inquiries from friends and clients asking for recommendations places to find plants. Her kids helped her mobilize by designing programs such as order forms through Google Forms and coming up with the idea to buy in bulk from a source out of Maryland and resell the greenery — ultimately making a profit which could benefit SHARE, she said. “People were very excited to support SHARE, and they were struggling to get donations,” Lynley said. As a member of Immanuel Presbyterian Church , Lynley said that the church frequently donates to SHARE, and the non-profit saw a lack in donations after the COVID-19 pandemic hit theeconomy.
According to Lynley, several other religious groups around the area are also bolstering efforts to support the local organization. “One of my good friends is actually the Rabi at Temple Rodef Shalom ,” Lynley said. “She came to my sale and said they are also trying to support SHARE.” People who bought plants from the family paid in advance through Venmo, according to Lynley, who added that people then signed up for a pickup time slot so they could practice safe social distancing. Throughout Friday (April 10) and Saturday (April 11), roughly 90 people came by to pick up their greenery, Lynley said. The funds have already been delivered to SHARE, she added. Going forward, Lynley said she hopes people will continue to build and foster gardens because they help people maintain a “sense of control” in their lives and allows them to “reconnect withnature.”

TYSONS-BASED DOCTOR SHARES INSIGHTS INTO COVID-19 PANDEMICAshley Hopko
April 16, 2020 at 3:15pm To check-in with local doctors to see how they are faring during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tysons Reporter reached out to Kaiser Permanente, which has locations all over the mid-Atlantic region. Dennis Truong is the regional telemedicine director and assistant physician in chief in Northern Virginia for Kaiser Permanente, who sees patients at the Tysons Corner Kaiser medical center, according to a KP spokesperson. Truong told Tysons Reporter in a Q&A about his experience helping patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. HOW ARE YOU FEELING EMOTIONALLY DURING THIS TIME? Each day is a crazy mix of emotions. To keep a balanced mind, I take time every morning to acknowledge each one, from worrying about loved ones and colleagues, near and far, to the stress of getting the necessary work things done in this race against time. But with these emotions also brings appreciation, for what I have and for the opportunity to serve others and transform health care during thispandemic.
Many of us health care workers have trained and prepared most of our lives to serve in a moment like this. So overall, I feel emotionally strong because I’m inspired by those around me and know that doing my part, while they do theirs, will get us through this. Each day also bring elements of pleasant emotional surprises, from family texting jokes and spontaneous words of encouragement and appreciation, to dentist friends donating masks from their practices, to colleagues willing to pitch in to help when telehealth surges allhours of the day.
This leads to the most important emotion — a glimpse of happiness — as we’re seeing how so many people care about each other’s well-being and are willing to take personal responsibility to help “flatten the curve.” For many of my health care colleagues around the world, hope and happiness fuels us to keep fighting the fight with a positive attitudeagainst COVID-19.
WHAT IS THE ATTITUDE OF PATIENTS WHO COME IN FOR THINGS OTHER THANCOVID-19 CONCERNS?
In three short weeks, we’ve dramatically transformed the care delivery system at Kaiser Permanente in the mid-Atlantic region to meet the needs of our members virtually. More than 85% of our encounters are now virtual across urgent care, primary care, and specialty care departments. This paradigm shift was possible for three key reasons. First, at Kaiser Permanente we’ve been doing virtual care (aka telehealth) since 2013 so our providerswere prepared.
Also, the Kaiser Permanente culture has always been patient-centric and extremely responsive to the needs of our members. The ability to quickly pivot and rapidly scale our telehealth offerings across all services was universal. Last, we communicated with our members early and often, so they understood the significance of using our telehealth options before they came into a clinic to keep themselves and our communities safe. Almost all of our patients use our telehealth options of the advice nurse, e-visits, phone visits and video visits to get personalized care and care coordination before coming in to one of our medical centers. We’ve had many patients express gratitude for being able to access care, for COVID and many other medical needs that are still arising, from the comfort of home. DO YOU FEEL THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH MEDICAL SUPPLIES IN THE RESTON, TYSONS, MCLEAN AND FALLS CHURCH AREA TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS AND DOCTORS? WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING LOW ON? COVID is now spreading quickly through many communities including here in the D.C. area and our equipment and supply needs have increased significantly as a result. Yet, we have leveraged our national network and with the support of our supply teams and our staff, have increased our supply of personal protective equipment. Through diligent conservation efforts and ongoing procurement efforts, we have the appropriate PPE to protect our team today and in the days ahead. WHAT TRENDS OR CHANGES TO THE MEDICAL SYSTEM HAVE SURPRISED YOU THE MOST DURING THIS PANDEMIC? Since early March at Kaiser Permanente, we have seen a total delivery system transformation to “virtual first.” This means that our first approach to an appointment is a virtual appointment through video, phone or secure email. We have evolved to providing more than 85% of all encounters virtually. Our priority has been keeping our members safe and educating and notifying them about care choices. It is amazing how many patients and providers are now using our system “virtual first.” HOW PREPARED IS THE NOVA AREA COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY FOR THE PEAK OF THE PANDEMIC? WHEN DO YOU THINK THE PEAK WILL HAPPEN? The latest information indicates that we could see a surge of patients in our region over the next two to three weeks. However, these models are changing and this timing may change too. We are working diligently to make sure that we are ready to care for all our patients whether they come this week, next week or later. We are also set up to continue expanding our virtual care and pharmacy delivery options asthe surge occurs.
HOW WILL THE PANDEMIC AFFECT PEOPLE WHO COME INTO THE ER WITH OTHER (NON-COVID-19) LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCIES? We are using our robust telehealth services to have our physicians safely evaluate and follow members at their homes. If patients show up to our centers, we have created separate areas to triage COVID andnon-COVID patients.
For COVID patients, we triage them to a special triage location with skilled emergency medicine physicians dedicated to that work. Therefore, other patients coming to us for urgent care are treated in separate area by a separate group of emergency physicians to assure continued delivery of highest quality care. HOW DO YOU FEEL THAT THIS PANDEMIC WILL AFFECT THE REST OF YOUR CAREERIN HEALTHCARE?
The pandemic has already affected my career in extraordinary ways. As a board-certified emergency physician, I trained in Detroit hospital systems that only knew about dealing with emergencies or those that couldn’t afford preventative care. As an active-duty Air Force physician, I learned the importance of structure but lacked the righttechnology.
When I came to Kaiser Permanente, I learned the importance of proactive and integrated care alongside a provider and patient-friendly electronic medical records. As the director of Virtual Care for Kaiser Permanente, I am part of a team that has spent years preparing our technology and organizational culture to understand the important role virtual care has in safely extending our care delivery reach. Every pandemic is an opportunity to learn, and when the dust settles on COVID-19, I believe the U.S. health care system and our citizens will have fully embraced telehealth as the leading approach inhealthcare.

FCPS OFFICIALS ACKNOWLEDGE ‘LEADERSHIP FAILURES’ IN BOTCHED ROLLOUT OF DISTANCE LEARNING Fatimah Waseem April16, 2020 at 2:15pm
Fairfax County school board members expressed major dismay over the botched rollout of the school system’s first week of distance learning, including security issues and technical problems with Blackboard’s system. At an online meeting today (Thursday), school officials acknowledged the school’s leadership failed to ensure adequate security measures were in place when students and teachers logged on to online sessions. Teacher-led distance learning was canceled this week due to technical issues the school system is working toresolve.
FCPS Superintendent Scott Brabrand told the school board today that the issues have been two-fold: capacity and load issues on Blackboard’s end and failures to implement and monitor securityprotocol by FCPS.
SECURITY ISSUES
Sloan Presidio, the school system’s assistant superintendent for instructional services, described security issues as a “leadershipfailure.”
“We failed to properly train the staff,” Presidio said, adding that the school’s leadership did not communicate how teachers should properly set up online sessions and make sure security settings werein place.
In some cases, students were able to set up and run unmonitored chat sessions that were not seen by moderators. Some students were able to log on with fake names and upload inappropriate photos. “We absolutely share the concern and the dismay at some of the behavior that was reported,” Tim Tomlinson, Blackboard’s chief product officer, said. “It’s unconscionable.” Although instructors were given guidance on how to maintain security and set up online sessions, school officials said the information was not properly disseminated. Once school officials were made aware of security issues, additional guidance on security was provided. School board member Megan McLaughlin said she was “shocked” the 10th largest school system in the country did not conduct load testing prior to the launch of the system. “There is no getting around it,” McLaughlin said.BLACKBOARD PROBLEMS
In addition to security challenges, the system experience log-in issues on the first day of learning, following by problems associated with Blackboard’s servers. The Reston-based company is working on upgrades to the system to resolve ongoing issues. Tomlinson said that Blackboard “had no indication that these problems would occur” and shared a statement from the company apologizing for the disruption. “We are working with FCPS to require students to log in to the FCPS 24-7 site and authenticate their identity before they are permitted to join a virtual classroom,” according to the Blackboard statement. Tomlinson also noted that FCPS chose not to update its software for three years to the latest system. Seven updates were publicly available but not applied, he said. But Maribeth Luftglass, assistant superintendent of the school system’s department of information technology, noted that the school system was never told those upgrades were required for performance purposes, especially prior to the launch of distance learning. She also added that the system was due for a planned upgrade this June. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic hit locally, the school system had plans in place to replace Blackboard Learn,
a virtual learning environment, with Schoology , another distance learning tool operated by PowerSchool Unified Classroom, over the next two years. The school system hopes to pilot the system in the fall. SCHOOL BOARD RESPONDS School board members also questioned why distance learning proceeded if there was indication there were technical problems prior the launch. Several of the members urged FCPS to consider learning alternatives, like resources from Google. “If Blackboard can’t handle this, lets try Google” Laura Jane Cohen, who represents the Springfield District. “Everyone has worked too hard to make this happen.” According to the presentation, less than half of the teachers have Google Classroom sites, which could be used as a learning supplement. “There would be significant teacher training required and additional workload on teachers to create these sites,” the presentation said. “Additionally, Google Classroom is not linked to the student information system and teachers would have to manually createcourses.”
The presentation notes that students and teachers have equal permissions on Google Meet,
which could let students override teacher content, and that guestaccess is allowed.
“Additionally, Google engineers expressed concern about handling the volume of FCPS users,” the presentation said. Other school board members said a two-hour delay in instructor-led learning on Wednesday was not communicated effectively to the schoolcommunity.
Brabrand apologized for not making the “right call” when he called for the two-hour delay. “We could have communicated it better,” Brabrand said, adding that his mistake “caused undue confusion for our teachers and ourprincipals.”
NEXT STEPS
Blackboard is currently working on software patches this week to address the capacity issues behind the login difficulties, Luftglasssaid.
On April 14, Blackboard Learn and Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, a real-time video
conferencing tool, were linked with a new feature that will only allow students enrolled in a class to join the class session and ban guest access, school officials said. Additionally, a back-up plan is being developed using Collaborate Ultra, they said. FCPS aims to resume its synchronous learning on April 20. _Catherine Douglas Moran contributed reporting__Image via FCPS_
