Our closest city, Las Cruces, did a drive-up testing station and caught their first case there. Albuquerque has drive-ups and reportedly mile-long lines.

Thus far, our county, has zero cases. I've been isolating since Monday evening, my wife went down for groceries Thursday and Dave has been out for ice a couple of times, which kind of makes my isolation sort of meaningless.
