But the CDC's guidance could generate more confusion because the color codes it has in mind don’t match California’s four-tier system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the strongest statements on this topic yet from the CDC, the guidance states that “K-12 schools should be the last settings to close after all other mitigation measures in the community have been employed, and the first to reopen when they can do so safely. Schools should be prioritized for reopening and remaining open for in-person instruction over nonessential businesses and activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this strong statement, the new guidance leaves crucial decisions around vaccinations and testing as voluntary strategies that could be implemented at the discretion of local communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reinforcing what Gov. Gavin Newsom has been saying, the CDC says vaccinations “should not be considered a condition for reopening schools for in-person instruction.” It also does not require schools to do asymptomatic testing of staff and students, although it says that schools “may elect” to do so “as a strategy to identify cases and prevent secondary transmission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California educators try to digest the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/community/schools-childcare/K-12-Operational-Strategy-2021-2-12.pdf\">new, lengthy CDC guidelines\u003c/a>, they are also awaiting the outcome of negotiations between Gov. Newson and the Legislature regarding efforts to come up with a more robust school reopening plan. Key elements of Newsom’s “Safe Schools for All” plan are in limbo, after coming under intense criticism from a range of sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week ago, Newsom indicated that a revised strategy would be issued within days. But sources say that the negotiations have been intense, and difficult. As of 1 p.m Friday, no announcement had been made, and none appears to be forthcoming today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new CDC guidance for school reopening envisions a phased-in approach based on red, orange, yellow and blue tiers. In contrast, California’s tiers are purple, red, orange and yellow. Unlike California’s tiers, in which purple is the most restrictive category, and red somewhat less restrictive, red would be the most restrictive level under the CDC strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='education']Under the CDC plan, schools in the blue and yellow tiers could open for “full-in person instruction,” along with sports and extracurricular activities, as long as strict social distancing and masking practices are followed.

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/immunize/Documents/Pertussis_Report_6-10-2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Department of Public Health reported 809 new cases of the infection\u003c/a>, bringing the 2014 total to 3,458. That's 1,000 more cases than all of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four Bay Area communities have been hit particularly hard: Sonoma, Napa and Marin counties and Berkeley, which reports separately from the rest of Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall state incidence rate is about 9 cases per 100,000 people, the CDPH says. But for Sonoma County the rate is 103 per 100,000; in Napa it's 65, and in Marin it's 53. Berkeley's rate is lower — 25 per 100,000; but that's three times higher than the rate for Alameda County as a whole. The rest of the Bay Area reports rates between a low of 6 per 100,000 in Santa Clara County and 17 per 100,000 in Solano County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDPH said this year's epidemic is due at least in part to the cyclical nature of pertussis, which officials say peaks every three to five years. The last peak was in 2010, when the state had more than 9,000 cases and recorded 10 infant deaths connected to the disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But health officials say other factors may be at play, too. One suspected problem is the widespread use of acellular pertussis vaccines, which cause fewer negative reactions in patients than earlier vaccines but may not provide the long-lasting immunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another widely discussed factor is that fewer children in some communities are receiving vaccinations for pertussis and other illnesses. That's because parents fearing potential harm from the vaccines are increasingly seeking \"personal belief exemptions\" (PBEs) that allow them to enroll children in school without getting state-required vaccinations. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/08/21/marin-vaccinations/\" target=\"_blank\">As we reported last summer\u003c/a>, Marin County had a 7.8 percent PBE rate, the highest in the nine-county Bay Area.

Santa Cruz County has a 9.6 percent personal-belief-exemption rate. But today's state figures show the county reporting a pertussis incidence rate of 11 per 100,000 — far below the North Bay counties and relatively close to the statewide rate.

Journalist Pendarvis Harshaw takes us to galleries painted on the sides of liquor stores in West Oakland. We'll dance in warehouses in the Bayview, make smoothies with kids in South Berkeley, and listen to classical music in a 1984 Cutlass Supreme in Richmond. Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
