JFskiDan Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 And then there is this weird stuff that i saw on my local patch, that says Carbon Co is "concerning" There are now 21 Pennsylvania counties with concerning percent-positivity rates — 5 percent or higher. Carbon (5.1 percent) Quote

There's probably some low to mid level guy in Harrisburg who's job it is to update the template every morning and email it out to someone to publish it up. It's not bad work but it's not his dream. The guy is working from home which is a definite step up from the plaster walls of the windowless room where his Dell Desktop had been set up on a brown table. Sure there were birthday parties occasionally but the drudgery of that life wore on him. Should I try to get a new job? Maybe, but these benefits are nice and I don't even know where I would start to look during pandemic. Next year. Yeah definitely next year I'll be ready to branch out and find a job I love. Next year never comes, each step in comfortable brown shoes is one closer to retirement, that's when things will be better.... Indefinitely on the maps. People get so pissed off when the morning call and WFMZ post a daily article on Facebook with new numbers. Mainly things like,”why can’t you post good news”..this kills only 99.54% of people..it’s a hoax..or urban legends like people who weren’t even tested who have a friend who was notified they have it.

tnt Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 A member of my staff tested positive. He had contact with 75% of our field crew. Had to shut down for two weeks. Though of course, no one officially notified us. We were just being cautious and careful for the sake of our team, families and community. Office is in Bucks. CVS told another that they are seeing tons of positives under 25 lately. Quote

Deleted Posted October 22, 2020 Report Posted October 22, 2020 Unfortunately by exposing low risk people, we expose high risk people. There isn't a practical way to take one society and strip out all the vulnerable people from it. If we knew that there were no long term effects from COVID like strokes or heart and lung damage or liver damage or mental changes, and we did have a way to identify and isolate every vulnerable person, then that makes sense. It's just not within our abilities.Sent from my XP8800 using Tapatalk 4 Quote

They're usually uploaded to the server around 9am (website updates the link around noon). just change the date in the url in to today's for the most recent file. copy/paste into excel, take difference between yesterday and today and thats the new number.

Should've been more specific....maybe they're only going to have night skiing on weekend nights (keeping the pot stirred here) 2 1 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 Even though it would affect me in kinda hope there is no night skiing mon thru Thurs just to watch Salty get triggered and demand some form of compensation for it. 2 1 1 Quote
