Forget that, the real tragedy here is that the Pittston Tomato Festival is cancelled.

It’s not fair lol I don’t understand how Dorney Park can be open though. The Greek gyro and spanokopita fest is still on in Bethlehem.

My sister works in an icu outside of Wilmington DE. They have to report how full the icu is and which patients are COVID, but she’s fairly certain the media is taking the first number. They have more gunshot patients in that icu than COVID yet local media is reporting said hospitals ICU beds are quickly filling up with new COVID patients 

And we wonder why people don’t trust the media.

A full ICU is a full ICU regardless of the amount of COVID patients admitted. The point is that there are not enough surge beds if critical COVID cases are admitted. If an ICU is full, that leaves less bed availability for critical COVID and any other medical issue that requires critical care. Increasing numbers of cases leads to increasing need for medical care and strain on health systems.

Of note is there were 16,500 tests conducted so a 6% positivity rate which is a bit higher than the 4-5% it’s been. 17 new cases in Lehigh county. 

Is this map updated online?

I don’t know where it is.  The local state rep Mike Schlossberg posts it every afternoon. He also gave me a shout out in today’s facebook live about the great allentown fair being cancelled.

I'm guessing there are sports starved gamblers somewhere betting on the daily totals.

I never follow sportsball but Coronavirus I check the worldwide and nationwide numbers more than the Wolf of Wall Street pops Quaaludes. 

 

My guess is 777

849 @Benm

9949 new cases in Florida but only 49 new deaths.  Florida has been doing about 60,000 tests a day or 4-5 times that of PA. Arizona is actually the global hot spot right now.

I hope they don’t give me shit for ordering a gyro with no sauce.  I don’t like yogurt but like adding hot sauce to gyros.  Every Greek place I’ve been to when I said no sauce for gyro they’re like,”are you out of your mind it’s the best part” lol
