That's bad and kind of ironic. People accumulating in queues to get tested. Well ...

(...)

But wait ... Dodger Stadium ... do you mean this Dodger Stadium?

It's a drive-through testing site so it was a long queue of people in their own vehicles.

And yes, haha, the very same Dodger Stadium. Beatlemania was real!

I read there's a new test that can be taken at home without a prescription, not sure if it's available yet.

@Waitman Gobble Yes, there is such a test. You need a prescription. I heard it being discussed at the radio. The problem is that you beed to take a swap and need to know how to do that relyably. Otherwise you will get unrelyable results.
@el chava Ah, I tend to forget the drive-in option. They offered that here, too. It's unusable for me, I don't have a driver's license (never ever wanted one, and it'd be dangerous anyway as I am very short sighted) and we haven't had a car for more than 10 years now.
My beloved is an excelent driver, though.

And ...
Yes it is. For a reason.

There should be a test where you spit a loogie on a paper and it turns red or green. Or maybe a phone app where you lick your screen.

@Waitman Gobble It's not quite the corona loogie litmus test but the spit-in-a-tube test is out there.

@hEARt PhoniX I drive, but I'd much rather walk (when I can). In the past I've enjoyed taking public transit also but haven't done that in a long time.
Oh and I don't doubt Beatlemania! Thanks for the link. I'm gonna have to give 'em another listen (with headphones) soon!

@el chava Just in case anyone in here has not yet noticed, I am an enthusiastic Beatles geek. :P

And this was their penultimate gig.
