Good map! I especially like the 12 mile Arc in the bottom right. Quite the unique feature when drawing state lines. 

Thanks Mason and Dixon!

Hockessin, Greenville, and Newark might as well be in PA anyway. I have friends that live in PA, and their neighbors behind them are in Delaware.

For what it’s worth that arc has nothing to do with the mason Dixon line..the mason Dixon line is south of DE.

@GrilledSteezeSandwich you got me on that one. I thought I had read somewhere that Mason and Dixon laid out the 12 mile circle but it turns out they did not as far as I can tell. They are clearly involved in the PA/MD border and the Transpeninsular line though.

994 new cases for PA..not bad I figured it would be higher by now.

So we had 2 employees call out sick on the same day about 3 weeks ago, with the same symptoms.  they were on the same crew, and always ride together in a truck.  They were told to get tested and stay home until results were in.  They were at home for 2 weeks before they got their results, so they were allowed to come back.  We got at least one result back, and it was negative.  In the meantime, the accountant ladies son tested positive for Covid-19.  She has been working at home mostly, but was in maybe last tuesday or something.  (i havent seen her in a long time).  She has been tested, but still waiting on results, which again is taking at least 2 weeks to get back.  So my boss has contracted some type of independent company to handle testing at our company, and supposedly results are 1-2 days.  As a "test run" all of the office staff are getting tested on Friday, which based on the email, should include myself.  Cant wait.  

I do believe my boss, and some other office staff in the other side of the building (theres kind of 2 seperate office spaces here, the old side, and the new side) have some concerns about being in contact with this person.  I now see some more frequent mask wearing on the other side, that i havent seen before.  

And, one foreman that i really like, told someone this morning "this will all be gone after November".  So, just so you are all aware, skiing will be just like it was last year.

How can the virus survive on snow. Its cold. We're fine.

[Kyle]

Lots of stories going around of people making testing appointments, and somehow getting “positive results” in the mail before they even take the test. 
 

not sure I believe it one bit, but the rumor mill has been churning out some pretty crazy things so far this year

Yeah some are saying gone in November at the elections....sure.  One of my Facebook friends lives in Louisiana way in the country and she’s only had to wear a mask twice so far at the Vet office..it’s not manadatory at stores...she was complaining about how her glasses fogged up and felt claustrophobic shit..harden the fuck up.

 

Also 2 weeks to get test results back and 95% of the tests in PA are coming back negative..crazy.  A lot of people must be sick and think they have corona.  Some people just get sick a lot.

We’ll be at 2-3,000 daily in a month so this will seem good relatively

Some have already had Covid-19 twice. Many doctors are saying that immunity may only last several weeks and then Covid-19 antibodies go away.  With this scenario herd immunity would be impossible...hmmm sounds like the flu.

Some new rules for indoor dining and bars in PA  essentially you are not allowed to sit at the bar anymore you are allowed to sit at a table or booth and order alcohol but only if meals are also ordered and indoor dining can only be 25% down from 50%

If i can manage to go mountain biking in 90 degree weather for 2+ hours with a helmet and glasses on, while also wearing a mask, it should not be that hard for someone to go into a store with a mask on for 10-15 minutes. People are morons.

Wolf just knocked restaurant capacity to 25%, have to buy food to buy alcohol at an establishment.

No idea they may have to purchase some tables...I’m thinking a lot of private clubs will operate on the sly but I imagine since they have a liquor license they have to follow the state rules.

I was listening to wolfs press conference. He said you had to have food with your drink. So, define “food”. Crackers?  
then later the news said you need to sit at table with your food and drink. 
our club never re-opened, which i know was wildly unpopular, but i think its the right call, however, they do have a deck with outside tables, but just opening that would be a shit show.
