SolarFire2 posted:https://www.latimes.com/california/...online-learning Improve online learning. Implement free municipal internet for students and their families. Distribute student tablets or laptops as needed. These are certainly resolvable issues. It's not a surprise that a new system developed in a couple of weeks struggles to completely replace an old one, particularly when so many things are being changed. They just need time and resources.

Online instruction is inherently sucky because kids that age really can't handle the College-style lecture powerpoint thing. It's also lovely for the educator that has to re-learn classroom management skills to deal with poo poo like ZoomBombs, or try and teach to a sea of BLACK SCREEN USER NAME. The access issues can be worked on in the way that LAUSD just loaned all the laptops and iPads they had on hand and negotiated a no-cost hotspot loan from TMobile or whatever. But that doesn't help much if you're in a Studio/1bd with an elementary school sibling and a drunk dad and poo poo.

It's a bizzare situation. One of SF's Supervisors (of the district I live in, even) sits on the Board of the org that runs Caltrain, and he seems to be trying to hold out for a change to that board? The other supervisors apparently hadn't heard about the measure before the meeting, which i think is fair. https://twitter.com/seamlessbayarea/status/1283511209887625217

This blew up fast. A couple of months ago I was able to get in same day and get the results in 2. Its really important that she finds out sooner than later, her comorbidies will really gently caress her up with this.

/\/\/\ I have observed the same pattern with testing times. It seems like the state is making new guidelines that will limit testing again to specific groups of high-risk people: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/california-changes-its-covid-19-testing-strategy-cases-surge-n1233963 https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/california/articles/2020-07-15/california-revamps-testing-guidelines-as-virus-surges Testing backlogs have gotten huge as the state is testing 100,000 people a day and waiting times for results are running at 2 weeks in some cases. The labs handling these backlogs (and backlogs of other states) are swamped and the state is trying to expand the number of labs processing tests.

Magnolia Ave., Anaheim; 1700 W. Whittier Blvd,, La Habra; 2300 Harbor Blvd. Suite G, Costa Mesa; and 30551 Gateway Place, Rancho Mission Viejo.

Good to know about the above. Okay she finally told me how much it is. 125. Which is way way cheaper than I thought. A friend and I are splitting the bill for her. So I think we got it covered. Thanks everyone.

Assume she has it, quarantine until symptoms gone for 2 weeks, go to ER if having difficulty getting enough oxygen. If she has a job that forces her to work unless she has a positive test,  Testing for non-severe cases is for getting people to actually quarantine and epidemiology, it doesn't change how they are treated.

Also if anyone has access to a pulse oximeter, it might be good to have ready to detect any issues with her lungs.

Mine was FREE in Santa Clara, I just walked into a nearby library, gave them my info, got tested, walked out. There was some fine print that they might charge the cost to my insurance if I have any, but that my insurance wouldn't be allowed to pass that cost down to me.

I should point out that $250 is to skip the line for the free ones, which are incredibly backed up because they never increased capacity.

She's been isolated due to her comorbidities, works for Disney as well, so no work either. She only goes out to get food or other essentials. It's so frustrating when someone tries their hardest and then people are out there loving it up for her. She has a pulse oximeter. The appointment for the rapid test is tomorrow. She's got roommates that don't really go out as well but I don't know their situation. She's holed up for now. Symptoms for 3 days so far and getting worse.
