I might look into testing
CVS Pharmacy might be an option: [link]

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yikes Erin. Here you can sign up for city drive-through testing (usually appointments a few days out, though they supposedly have walk ins too) or through your doctor, or I even know a place in my neighborhood doing walk in tests for $99 (they don't take insurance but generally have next day results). I still haven't gone though. But yes seems like they ought to have lots of testing given the importance of your former workplace!
I'm now watching the NWSL championship. This has been so poorly advertised and so annoying that they showed most of the games at weird times and on CBS all access (so $$) but at least today is on CBS even if it's a breakfast game.

Yeah, that does sound like a situation where workplace provided testing should happen.
It infuriates me that testing is not a free and widely available thing. It's just so obvious! AARGH

Our wings are not tired.
if he needs a pitstop, Laura I can give you my #.
Thank you. I appreciate that. I may take you up on it during my return trip at the end of October. He has found a couple dog parks along the route so far. He'll be able to let the dog run at the park next to his sister's place too.
Really grateful to be where testing is easy to find and free.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

As for the cats, what I read was that they could potentially catch the virus from humans but couldn't pass it to humans, so wouldn't be vectors.
Having a cat that frequently sneezes until she looks like the victim of a Ghostbusters-style sliming, I don't feel confident that an infected cat wouldn't be able to pass it on to nearby humans.

I don't remember what the basis for that conclusion was, could not begin to guess how reliable it might be.

Hey. New board.
My experience in MN was that if you could say you had any symptom (from a long list) or knew you had been exposed or had been in a mass protest, you could go to a drive through. We had none of that and still were able to get tested at a drive through for travel after consulting with a nurse practitioner (and charging our insurance 500 dollars of course). There was no line, we were in and out in five minutes and had the results the next day.
Capacity is increasing. It is just tricky I think to figure out how to use the extra (not obviously symptomatic or from contact tracing) capacity to best effect.

I went to get a pedicure today (supporting local business!!) and the guy came to take my temperature with no mask on. You win some, you lose some.
