    OHSU has two drive up testing centers. You can go to either one and get tested.

    I've already been to the emergency room three times with serious nose bleeds that won't stop. My doctor told me not to get any test where they insert a swab up your nose.

    I think his point is that he doesn't feel isolation is a good thing and that we shouldn't be responding to the virus in such a way?

    I flew the other day from LA to Billings, MT with a stopover in Seattle.

    Seattle was very busy. Everyone wearing masks, social distancing, not so much. Flights were still middle seat blocked, lower capacity I'd say about 60% (Alaska Airlines). I noticed more people seemed to be coughing. I think flying in the winter is going to be pretty nerve racking with lots of people coughing and planes going to more full capacities, gonna probably try to avoid holiday travel.

    Out in Wyoming and MT, people were generally wearing masks. We were out in the boonies, at the grocery, a lot of customers that weren't old weren't wearing masks. The employees and the older people seemed to be at a higher rate. Went to the Buffalo Bill museum, about half the people there were wearing masks. It wasn't very crowded. Masks didn't seem required, but they provided them for free as well as having sanitizer.

    Fiancee took a COVID test yesterday and it came back this AM negative (rapid test at UCLA since she works in the OR), so that's good at least. What they are doing at the hospital is a self-assessment on some website, and then it may refer you to have a test done.

    Not sure if that was the test she had, but she did the test at 2pm yesterday and the results were in at 7am.
