Are you mass testing at all in California?
No. We still don't have a lot of tests. We're sending most of them to the SF Bay area, which is hardest hit. It looks like the "stay at home" policy is working to flatten the curve. People are starting to creep back out though, for recreational opportunities. All theaters, carwashes, retail stores are closed in most counties (there are non-compliant areas).
To get tested, a person really needs to be sick. Then they work back from there and ask everyone who has come into contact with that person for the past couple of weeks to self-quarantine if they are not, already.
We're doing a lot of preparation before our rates go up. The staying at home has really slowed it. We've tested about 25,000.
