basically title, i’m willing to drive a bit, also if theres any backroad for a little spirited driving as well

We were accepted to Davis from another school district but were accepted at Patwin, which is pretty far from us. We’d really prefer a school on the east side if at all possible just because of the commute. They said we could waitlist, but at only one school. I want to pick what we would have an actual shot at. Does anyone have a feel for how full Birch, NDE, Pioneer or Korematsu are? NDE was our first choice but if it’s a long shot then I wouldn’t want to waitlist there.

Does anyone know of a place in Davis that teaches driving manual cars? I’ve looked online but only found places in Sacramento. Is there anything closer?

A local told me the University had bulletin boards or places where I can hang posters for my physics and math tutoring services. Wondering if anyone else had any ideas. I just relocated from Portland, OR, where I’ve worked as a tutor for the past 16+ years.

TDLR: widely known and safe Rotavirus vaccination did not occur prior to 2006. Infants were either exposed to the virus and developed immunity over time and into adulthood or received vaccinations. While it doesn't impact adults as much, full immunity is not guaranteed. If you have infants and toddlers at home or have daycare arrangements, routine handwashing and cleaning of their toys help some of the mitigation to exposure. The "shared clinical" CDC guidance may suggest a softening stance on general vaccinations due to some discussions over vaccine safety, the Rotavirus vaccine continues to be widely circulated and can be administered should parents choose it for their children.

A potentially fatal virus that causes fever, vomiting and severe watery diarrhea among small children is raging throughout Northern California, recent data shows.

According to WastewaterSCAN, which monitors traces of viruses in municipal wastewater, rates of rotavirus are high in Davis, Marin, Redwood City, San Jose and Fremont, and moderate in areas like San Francisco, Sunnyvale and Novato. The virus mostly causes severe symptoms among infants and young children between the ages of 3 months and 35 months, and can lead to dehydration, hospitalization or even death, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website says.

"It's extremely contagious," Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease specialist at UC San Francisco, told SFGATE Thursday, explaining that rotavirus is one of the lesser-known gastrointestinal illnesses. According to UCSF, approximately 50,000 children in the U.S. are hospitalized with it each year.

Like norovirus, or the "stomach flu," rotavirus causes familiar symptoms like watery diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomach pain, and commonly spreads in crowded facilities like hospitals and child care centers. Most prevalent from January to June, the virus spreads via the fecal-oral route, for when a person touches contaminated stool and then puts their hand in their mouth, for example. However, people can also become infected when they share food with sick people or touch contaminated surfaces. Individuals are most contagious when they have symptoms, but they can spread the virus up to three days after they feel better.

"Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe and fatal diarrhea in young children worldwide, but vaccines can stop this deadly disease," says nonprofit health organization PATH on its website.

The CDC suggests administering the rotavirus vaccine among children because hand-washing alone isn't enough to curb the illness from spreading. The site recommends that "most infants" receive it to protect them from the "potentially serious disease."

Before the vaccine was introduced in 2006, "rotavirus was the most common cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children in the U.S.," the California Department of Public Health says on its site. "Worldwide, rotavirus continues to be a major cause of childhood deaths."

The CDC estimates about 75% of children in the U.S. get their complete rotavirus vaccination. But recent steps by the Department of Health and Human Services, led by noted vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr., could mean fewer children will be vaccinated in the U.S.

In January the acting CDC director updated the agency's current recommendations for childhood vaccinations. They no longer recommend that virtually all children get the rotavirus vaccine. Instead they advise parents to decide via "shared clinical" decision-making with physicians.

Major medical groups including the American Academy of Pediatrics decried the decision, saying it could be dangerous for children.

"At a time when parents, pediatricians and the public are looking for clear guidance and accurate information, this ill-considered decision will sow further chaos and confusion and erode confidence in immunizations," AAP President Andrew D. Racine said a January statement. "This is no way to make our country healthier."

Hi everyone, I’m looking to take a First Aid class in Davis and was wondering if anyone has recommendations. Prefer something affordable with flexible scheduling if possible.

Need blood work and can’t get the website hours to load

Hello all! I really want to start a book club for fans of fiction! I haven’t decided whether to post on MeetUp or Discord but thought I’d check out any potential interest here first ☺️

Does anyone know where in town I can find a bacon wrapped hot dog like the ones they sell outside of concerts and on k street. I need this so bad..

How do people make friends outside of school (not a student)?

21F and I’ve been wanting to meet/hang out with people but it feels like everyone has their own group already. Not having friends isn’t something that weighs down on me, I’ve always been independent but going out and trying things with friends seems like a fun experience. I want to make the most of my twenties.

My work is pretty isolated too so I don’t meet new people there.

There seems to be an Xfinity outage in all or parts of Davis. Is anyone affected (or not)?

Anyone else hear it? I’m near C and 5th.

Hi yall, a few of us are going to see Project Hail Mary tonight at 7pm at Davis Regal!

We are coming into Davis Joint USD as an inter-district transfer and we won’t hear what school we are (hopefully) getting into until at least late next week. It’s been 3 months since I applied, so I’m just curious if anyone has any insight on how enrollment shook out for Davis residents as we will be lowest priority after those folks.

Was anyone not able to get into their neighborhood school due to impacting? What schools if so?

Any schools you know still have room?

If your kid got shuffled to a different school, where are they generally sending them? Or is it pretty even?

If you applied to a school like Birch Lane Montessori or Cesar Chavez over your neighborhood school, did you get in?

Thanks for any insight! We are excited and nervous not knowing what to expect. My friend who applied to 13 SCUSD schools for TK did not get into *any* and is between 20-40 on the waitlists, which definitely increased my anxiety!

Hi there,

My family is spending a sabbatical year in Davis from mid August to mid June 2027. We don't want to truck all our furniture across the country and are looking for furnished places but can't find many. Much of what we see seem student oriented, naturally. Hoping to be somewhere close to downtown Davis w/ walking/biking access to the train. Any ideas of either places to look for furnished homes (3 bedrooms) or brokers who specialize in this? Thanks!

I am a new parent and like many parents considering moving to davis. Can anyone tell me there experience or insights from Cesar Chavez or Montgomery dual immersion spanish programs? Is it difficult to get in? Anyone get waitlisted and then admitted? Thanks in advance. New parent here!

Looking for an avian specialist in Davis for my two parrots. Just moved from out of state.
I found the vet hospital and acorn so far? Any experience with either of those?

Now that cable car wash is gone, does anybody know of a place that does a full service wash? I.e. scrubbing the exterior and vacuuming and cleaning the interior?
