    Well of course my day care is closed for “a minimum of 14 days” because reasons. Still keeping my money though.

    Man I'm sorry you got the shaft like this. Mine desperately wanted to be open. Like only reason they were shut down was because the order wasn't specific enough. Though with the feds saying no more than 10 people I wonder if we'll be right back here in the next few days? Or will the state tell the feds to screw?

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    It seems this will be my course of action.

    When this crisis is over, I'm going to do my damnedest to convince my union to switch off of Kaiser as our healthcare provider. Easily the worst provider in Washington state, and not just because it takes weeks (if not months!) to get an appointment with them.

    Yeah, I think that’s where mine will end up. The problem is I have a contract that will probably get canceled at the end of March, so day care will open up just in time for us not to be able to afford to send them there anymore. Guess I should get used to stay at home parenting before it’s full time?

    We've tried to get an income tax in, repeatedly. The voters keep going NOPE.

    Maybe this will change some minds.

    And when the voters say yes then SCOWS says no as its unconstitutional

    The problem income tax proponents keep running into is that under the Washington constitution, property must be taxed uniformly and income is considered property.

    A flat income tax is permissible, but not a progressive income tax. Which is what most people who support an income tax want.

    It would take a constitutional amendment to change this.

    Weaver straight up said earlier that Kaiser was lying about being able to test. Nurse told him after he was denied testing that they didn't actually have any and sent him to UW, who was swamped and couldn't test him.

    Just disgusted me. Clearly she was a younger person who thought "I can finally have an advantage on the older brokers" without knowing those older brokers will totally kill themselves if they think they can get a sale.

    Its a collective action problem, and my company knew they wouldn't make the right choice.

    Sent my CV to UW Medicine and offered to help perform PCR for their testing center. They’re fully staffed at the moment, but the coordinator kept my contact info. Word is they’re scaling up rapidly, so hopefully I can help out there.

    Mostly okay. COVID has scared away most of the normal patients so work is actually super slow. We have had some positive cases and we’re getting more everyday, and I’m sure at least two of those died.

    Personally, outside a fear of getting sick, the worst thing about work right now is how boring it is. A good problem to have in this time. Plus, so much overtime available.

    So my job has not been affected as of yet. As it's a healthcare job. However, what do I need to know to claim unemployment benefits if things go sideways? the official website seemed pretty useless as far as who does and does not qualify. It's a private clinic with less than 50 employees, and I'm a full-time employee. What do I need to be documenting to cover myself?

    Ugh. I finally physically broke and took a day off today. My company won't give us paid time off unless we test positive or are told to quarantine by a medical provider or by a public health authority...

    So, where can I get one of these tests? I've got Kaiser, I believe, just dont have a primary as I haven't regularly gone to a doctor in a while. Or know a medical provider I can call to give my story to and have them go 'oh yeah, you should be quarantined'...?

    Edit: Finally decided to call Kaiser and chat with someone about all my concerns. After telling them my story and my symptoms, they went on a long spiel about sanitization that they have to go through. And I made them aware that my workplace DOES have these rules in effect.

    Not like the staff has any time to do all of them constantly. Or the supplies to do so either.

    So they said to call back after having a high fever after 3 days.

    Meanwhile, I'm due back at work tomorrow and we're already booked solid until midday Friday. So that'll be another set of 12 hour days.

    That I'll be running around a store touching everything during. Gathering pickup items and gathering germs. And spreading my germs.

    Huzzah...

    Snowin to beat the band over here in Spoklahoma too.

    Also, WinCo was a goddamn fever dream nightmare earlier! People were polite, but there was a lot of tension in the air you know? Also the line went from the checkstands all the way to the back of the store it was fuckin gnarly.

    Someone on facebook recently asked if Winco could be open an hour earlier just for the elderly to shop. I had to explain that WinCo is open 24 hours, and if you wanted to beat the rush, you basically need to show up just past midnight when they're restocking.

    I thought about driving there last week, but then realized that it was probably a terrible idea.
