Are you symptomatic? I would probably avoid testing unless you’re experiencing symptoms.

like

Yes, you should qualify for testing, but you still need to be referred by your health care provider.

Yep, experiencing all the symptoms (albeit mildly) but I don’t have a PCP (never found one since graduating bschool). Teledocs have a 20 hr wait time. What should I do?

Stay home and take some Tylenol unless you feel like you are dying. No need to overload the system even more if you are a mild case.

You qualify but with so few tests you’ll struggle getting one

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
