PA Counties locked down

[HKusp 45]

We've been on this lock down for a while and we have driven to parks, went for walks and other places for food and necessities and I have seen two cops. Just sitting in a parking lot or wherever...actually went to Philly to drop off a package at the bank for my wife's job. A lot of people on the road...didn't see a single cop except at an accident. I don't think they want to risk pulling someone over that happens to be sick...just my opinion.

I'm going to keep my distance from people and help them remember to do the same if they are in my space otherwise I'll be going about my day as usual. Pretty sure the police have bigger issues than me going to the store to deal with.

I just keep a 4 pack of toilet paper on the passenger seat. Built in excuse for driving around.

In Chester County approximately .026% (107) of Chester county residents have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

In PA approximately .017% (2218) of the population have contracted the coronavirus

In PA approximately .00017% (22) of the population have died due to complications from the coronavirus

I'd say we have a real problem on our hands.

so your saying that Philadelphia thugs have contributed more to the deaths in PA than the coronavirus if I am reading this correctly, but they won't be prosecuting them for crime.

I'm at the juncture of three counties (Cambria, Clearfield and Indiana), so all three concern me, if I was concerned (which I'm not). Per the Health Dept. website, Cambria has 2 cases, as does Clearfield, while Indiana as one, so far.

Down the road the local Giant Eagle says they're opening up at 6:00 a.m. to give the seniors first dibs. Six o'clock in the morning? Geez, out driving on the roadways up here in the hills that's Bambi Time.
