Just another reason why I’m happy to be a Californian,,,,,, A Northern California company is working around-the-clock to fix 170 busted ventilators received by the state from a federal stockpile, officials said Saturday. The equipment — crucial in treating COVID-19 patients — arrived Saturday at Bloom Energy in San Jose…

I don't think I saw an update from CA here today and here are my impressions after both Governor Newsome and Mayor Garcetti commented during a press conference this afternoon. I didn't take notes on some of the details but I think I have it close. Once again I’m both grateful and proud to be born and raised in CA. While so…

Here on the ground in Riverside County in So Cal we have the National Guard helping at the food banks and a new Federal medical facility going up somewhere in the county but I'm not really sure where that will be. We have one drive-thru testing facility at the stadium in Lake Elsinore but our testing ability is still very…

I heard this tonight from a healthcare worker..... "I stayed at work for you, please stay home for me." That's a very powerful message and applies to all of our essential service workers..........cops, firefighters and even our grocery store workers and those that are still taking care of their babies and toddlers at day…

I've been following this thread since the beginning and what I notice tonight is more of us are becoming frightened and worried. Between the virus and people we care about being sick, the loss of jobs, the basic shutdown of cities and states around our world, our nerves are frayed. I can't find it again but I watched a…

I made ours. I had bottles of both on hand. I used about 75% alcohol to 25% aloe. It took it awhile to mix but it works very well. I was looking at the sanitizer they had at the doctor's office on Monday when I was there and it was the exact same ingredients. It smells like alcohol but not for too long. It dries quickly…

I live in Riverside County in So Cal and we just watched a 75 minute news conference broadcast from KTLA which serves LA/Inland Empire. There are 19 cases here now, 3 deaths and 2 new cases today, one in the small city north of us (Corona) and one in the small city south of us (Eastvale). Neither are particularly high…

This is what's happening in San Francisco and surrounding counties. My daughter is in SF and already in isolation because of being sick, although she did test negative. Her husband is now how with her too. San Francisco and surrounding counties totaling 6.7 million people will prohibit anyone from leaving their homes…

@Snowflake954, I'm so sorry Italy is suffering so badly with this. I appreciate your posts from there and commend you for sticking with us here at MFP and for being an honest information gatherer. Passing on what you know and have learned is invaluable. I fear we here in the US are still on the upward swing of this thing…

Background: My daughter is the one up in SF with a possible case of COVID-19 (I shared this here yesterday). She has symptoms since Wednesday night and called her doctor. She has lung issues and is 40. Just an FYI for folks here who might need the info.......................Kaiser Permanente in SF now has a drive-thru…

I've been following this thread for a few days now and finally decided to post something. This is from on the ground here in So Cal. We have 2 children in CO and another one in San Francisco with their spouses and children. Normally I spend a lot of time in both places. Hubby and I are almost 72 and 70 respectively and I'm…

@T1DCarnivoreRunner, I agree we may all end up getting it but as someone who has both a daughter and husband at risk, I think, until we know more, it's up to all of us to try and stop the spread. Just my opinion. I believe we should have concern for others who are at risk and if that means cancelling some public events or…

I've been following the COVID-19 for awhile............like a lot of you I'm sure. At first I thought, well we have more deaths from seasonal A/B strains and it just didn't seem like anything much different. After a lot of research, of which there is actually very little known about this novel coronavirus so far, I've…
