what'd they do? I just thought it was a basic swab in the nostril now, not that thing where they used to stick it through almost to your brain.

i read some sort of article a long time ago about a place selling hotdogs for like $5 or some shit with a free beer or something like that. ppl def get creative. also, club is closed indefinitely.

Pretty small actually. Horseshoe shape, 20 seats? They made outside accoms recently. Not bad, a few picnic tables. There is food, plenty but food isnt a big part of the operations. its the lack of seating tho, I dunno. Its usually just at the bar. There's an adjoining hall that could prob be utilized. First thing I said to my wife - sell a bag of chips for 25c with every bucket.

i'm curious as to how this would affect private clubs. ours has no tables at all.

yeah lots of people love it, i'm probably in the minority. i just can't do the crowds, nowhere to piss because i'd be drinking and, usually, freezing conditions. lmao at goign easy on NYE, that ain't me. i'd love to actually be in it tho.

yeah. sitting on the sofa watching it on TV drinking away the hangover from NYE is way better than being there tho.

"Philadelphia officials are expected to announce Tuesday that all large, public events through the end of February will be canceled or postponed." i had to re-read that twice before i realized it was next year.

unofficially? 929. i don't like posting that # anymore since i trust it less now.

alleg county has more today than any other day in the last 2 weeks (331) but it seemed underreported yesterday (71). phl is still around average for a normal day so they're prob backlogged a day still. greater phl area coming in strong with 5 of top 6. ALLEGHENY - 331 PHILADELPHIA - 141 CHESTER - 37 DELAWARE - 37 BUCKS - 32 MONTGOMERY - 31

yeah, prob not bad overall tho. phl mightve been another 150-200. fwiw, this is the same thing that happened the previous sun/mon. not really sure why they're doing it like that.

just a note- philadelphia wasn't counted again

So I just went to the thing and it is showing that there's some maintenance or something. that, plus the number i got yesterday was way off from what they're reporting. turns out, it was phl county that caused the difference. I checked the new cases showing for phl, added to the 577 number and it came out to their total - 725 also interesting -- the location where i get the numbers from had an updated file yesterday. it has since been deleted and not replaced. not really sure what they're doing. i also don't know why they had to mention something about allegheny having so many overnight or whatever they are highlighting, since that number was accurate in the original data i got.

It was lower but I think artificially. PHL county reported none (actually -1), maybe 600ish, can't remember. Edit - less, 577

Look, I can't remember last week, I'm sorry. Yeah that place was pretty good. First time I had it was maybe a month ago. Pizza.

Which one is that?

i wish there was something out there to see how close PA counties were to going back to yellow etc. I think i know the formula, but it's a lot of work trying to get the county pop etc and matching things up. i wonder how close some (allegheny in particular, even york) are. 813

sorry, but you can't hate on the protests because "This is a historic moment of change. We have to respect that..."

i've still been unable to find somethign that has daily tests aside from the PA site but it's a week prior. but give me a bit, i might be able to find out edit -- this was the difference in number of negative tests from today vs yesterday - 17608 that 1009 number includes 'probable' so i dont know if it would be accurate to include it as actual 'tests'.

we unofficially hit 1k - 1009

fair enough. I did read those peer reviews. your thoughts on whether it was through ingestion (wet market) vs bite/scratch/skin?

Not sure what part of that is lol. No one truly knows. I'd like to ask, do you think it at least originated in China? And if so, Wuhan? If neither, where do you think it started?

along the same vein, i think it's funny that people who are so panicked about everything still order takeout with some gigantic trust in where it's coming from. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone run a card with no gloves at a register (how many have they touched?). Ok, maybe they sanitized hands after, but probably not between the time they swiped the card and touched the terminal. It'd need like 4 sanitizations between one transaction (handing card, touching terminal, returning card, handing over goods. Then, they hand you a package / box / bag after touching the terminal, cards all day or cash register keys. Not to mention people are putting their trust in a number of people in the back who truly may or may not give a shit. It's just as risky as everything else but it's all totally cool and encouraged. I don't understand it. edit: ok not as risky as a packed bar but people are like 'oh wow how did i get this ive been so careful', you don't know if bob from the pizza shop was at the bar 3 days ago and isn't showing signs.

161 - PHILADELPHIA 158 - ALLEGHENY 38 - LANCASTER 36 - BUCKS 31 - MONTGOMERY 26 - CHESTER 24 - BERKS 22 - YORK 21 - WESTMORELAND 20 - DELAWARE 16 - LEHIGH

lets talk about people not being able to even dispose of gloves properly... ppl are assholes. i'm waiting for the day i see someone just throw that shit on the ground. 719
