These numbers don't line up with what I am seeing in the graphs on the ACHD web page, which was most recently updated today. What is your source?

https://alleghenycounty.us/Health-De.../COVID-19.aspx

Edit: I think the new case numbers you are reporting aren't attributed to a specific date. They could be cases that were new in the past but just added to the reporting rolls. This seems to be what the trib is doing, as well. They report day-over-day change in total cases, regardless of the attributed date of a new case (could be in the past).

i have been taking daily news items from the Post-Gazette.

wow, so the point of my posts is....pointLESS. i started the thread for the purpose of a daily glimpse into, we'd hope, a dwindling of new cases every 24-hours - an indication on the flattening of the curve and of our cooperative defeat of the pandemic, locally anyway.

thanks for pointing this out. i feel stupid.

Thanks, our county has some good reporting details now that I see it and take a look at those numbers. If you look at our entire county, 32% of the cases are individuals under 50 years old and 1% of the total deaths. That is showing a .26% mortality rate for those under 50. If you expand that to under 60, that is 50% of the cases and 5% of the deaths which works out to a .84% mortality rate. This does not even factor in all those not tested.

On the other end, the CFR is ~29% for those aged 70+ in the county. Quite a difference between age groups.

I still read the forum. But there's little going on right now other than these COVID-19 threads, which a handful of posters continually push into a political discussion.

It's really, really hard to discuss COVID-19 without touching on political issues to some extent of course, but I have no desire to get in daily fights regarding politics. First and foremost because arguments - particularly arguments involving politics on the internet - don't actually ever change anyone's mind on any side. I could spend hours researching aspects of a post, providing detailed links, and if you're inclined to disagree with my argument to begin with, you'll just dismiss all the sources anyway. So what's the point?

Hopefully soon we'll have something to talk about again besides COVID-19 in Pittsburgh.

Well there is the old Civic Arena sight that is going to someday break ground I guess. Kind of a project that I won't follow much until it actually is being built because "the Hill protest people" keep wanting more and more, so who knows if anything will get done? Maybe they should focus on planting crops on all the vacant land they have due to the huge rewilding that has taken place there. Then there is the URA that is so corrupt that one never knows what they will do.

There are no winners in the political debates, only losers as it is just a dividing tool for our country, but we aren't alone as the Internet mess is global, unless you live in China or North Korea. The US is the most divided country of them all I suspect with our race thingy that seems to have gotten worse than ever.

Many examples of this. So much wasted money due to overreaction and fear mongering.
