County maps..Pittsburgh looks the hottest.  I saw estimates of around 20,000 daily cases by later this month..on the climb right now.

I think better data point(s) to track are ICU capacity etc. That will determine what the gov does policy wise rather than surrogate data. If pennsy can handle 10k+/day (or whatever #) then all good. If that # maxes health care capacity than that’s what will drive policy in regard to what business are allowed to operate.

This is accurate. If beds aren't available because of COVID, then that takes away beds from other medical emergencies. But yeah, 10k cases a day is not sustainable for healthcare.

I remember when we went back over 500 cases in a day and were all "we're fucked".  we're proper  fucked now.

I remember when I went to the bars on the Fourth of July and outdoor drank and dined and when I had to piss I went in the alley because I didn’t want to go inside with a mask on amoung unmasked people.  We are fuckity fucked..like face down ass up fucked..

Worse we have half their population.  We also have a lot less regulations than Florida had when they were at their peak.

These policies are just theatre.  They can’t “require” anything, as noted in the article.  “Self certification” 😂

This is the death distribution by age for PA. Not good by any means but would this really show an uptick in business for you? Or would a decent number of these people be dying anyway? 

 

Deaths per day is way up though. Hopefully this stabilizes

The funeral homes we work with primarily in PA and NJ have done more funerals than ever this year.  Sure an 87 year old who died of Covid in 2020 would likely die in a few years anyway.  We are just getting the business earlier.  Deaths nationwide are about 10% more than in an average year due to Covid-19 but higher in the region I work in.  Early in the pandemic funeral homes were so busy they weren’t even writing orders and since summer it’s been insane. November is typically a pretty slow month for us and we beat last years November by about 80% and December is off to a healthy start.  I’d rather have normalcy..but also happy that me and my employees are getting nice bonuses next week. 

 

Deaths per day in PA and the US will keep increasing for likely a few months..deaths lag new cases by about 3-4+ weeks.

Now this is the kind of first hand information you can only get on PASR folks. Thanks for that. It's actually quite informative.

No problem, I like talking about work way better than actually working. I have sold quite a few tombstones from the hotel house this year. A shame I don’t have a credit card reader here.

You should set it up so that you can take it over the phone and enter it online.

That's *way* too advanced for him.

What kind of services allow you to do this? I'm pretty naïve about how credit card payments actually get processed, especially for a small business.

What about one of those metal things with a slider that makes a carbon copy of the card?

most cards don't emboss anymore because this used to be an easy way to swipe numbers.
