How yall doing here in Oregon? [View all]

Anyone caught the covid?
Anyone gotten tested?


Here in PDX.. at least 14 people in the larger acquaintance circle are dead, and likely more that haven't been announced as yet. A number in my closer circles have had symptoms, a smaller hand full have been tested. But it appears that in at least some of our health systems testing may have caught up. I know one person, with minimal symptoms (overlaping with allergy symptoms) but an "essential" job who got tested (negative) same day as calling to request a test to be able to go back to work.

Everyone says unemployment is a nightmare. I finally did my initial application, that seemed to go far more smoothly than expected. But im sure there will be additional parts that dont go so smoothly.

What are you all seeing out there on the ground here in Oregon?
