I was under the impression that our region was pretty much unaffected and only 2% of CC beds were being used. Keeping in mind, I am asking a question here and in no way underestimating your personal experience because I think we are privileged to have someone in healthcare bothering to post here. Thanks for that.

I feel our county should reopen with our precautions in place. We are doing great in Allegheny County. It isn't like a ton of grocery store workers and nurses are getting infected at a crazy rate. Why? Taking precautions is key.

Yes and I know not the point but we have no idea on the metrics to reopen our area. We could be at 5 per day, there is no clear information on what our governor is looking for. Areas are low but due to population density (ok so what numbers do you want to see in a more densely populated area), due to testing capacity (ok what are you looking for and how are you allocating testing? I would hope you try to focus needs based on demand), or due to contact tracing ability (ok what is being done to address this?).


Sorry a little frustrated at tone and details provided yesterday. I feel like we are doing well out here. I feel like Yellow makes sense and I feel like there are many things that can resume safely which are not being considered. We are pushing out debt we do not need and I seriously wonder where PA is headed vs other states financially.

True (the remainder of your comment edited out), but i like posting the daily numbers as a quick, convenient tracker of any trends a citi-data reader could refer to.

i think, though, the last few days are reason for optimism. yes, yes, i know, i know, before there is a barrage of responses, that this is not indicative of an END to this, but i'd prefer numbers around 10 a day compared to, say 30 a day. at least we have that on our (humanity's) side.

I really appreciate you posting the numbers daily.



It's unfortunate that they don't matter at all though. Our freedoms will only be restored when Wolf decides they will be.

Double Bingo!

One has to wonder how we didn't qualify. They say density, but 2% COVID-19 of hospital capacity and such amazingly low numbers. Pittsburgh listened and we did it better than most. People in most neighborhoods here are taking precautions around here and I feel the adults are doing well here. Why not adhere to the guidelines set before us? Wolf should set guidelines if he doesn't follow them! What an ass. We should be rewarded for doing a great job. Nope, not on his watch!

We also are reporting all these low numbers as if they are cases that never go away! The news keeps stating how many cases we have, but that is complete nonsense. In a couple of weeks people are healthy. The curve is flat. These things don't pile up as they state!

Also, people keep saying we were lucky. I don't think that is completely the case. Pittsburgh listened more, which doesn't surprise me.

Not a knock on your post at all, I also like them. It reminds us where we are and how well our area is doing. That said I had to run out for a few things today and the lack of what is open is actually causing more people to gather. Nice day and people need to get out and there is basically only home depot/lowes/target/grocery and those places are super packed with lines to get in (due to limits).
