So apparently, the San Mateo County Public Health department had a drive through testing site on the San Mateo fairgrounds, which they are now apparently closing because not enough people were coming.  It turns out that although testing capacity was increased, the site, which was set up to take people getting referrals from Google's testing website (Verily's "project baseline"), was not getting enough referrals, because the testing criteria were too strict.

There was a testing site at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds but they limited it to people with severe headaches and severe temperatures and severe respiratory issues.  That was a few weeks back, not sure what it is now.

This is what drives me crazy. Those criteria suggest they are only testing for the purposes of treatment, not testing for the purposes of public health. We need to expand testing so that anyone who wants to get tested can, which I think Pence promised us well over a month ago. Until that happens, I don't know how we "re-open" the economy.
