PITTSBURGH — Allegheny County reported 45 new positive COVID-19 cases Tuesday, and some of those then are from test results dating back more than a month, according to the Allegheny County Health Department. Despite the length of time, this marks the daily lowest total since late June.

The agency will also transition to reporting hospitalizations from the virus on a weekly basis instead of each day.

(UPDATE: A spokeswoman w/ @HealthAllegheny says they will now be reporting hospitalizations on a weekly basis instead of daily. This is due to different reporting protocols by hospitals, leading to inconsistencies in data)

Looks like a good reason for the self inflicted mental retard health director to increase the lockdowns

Don’t worry - enough small businesses haven’t been destroyed yet so more restrictions coming. And the sheep will comply because the non-thinking citizenry doesn’t ask questions anymore.

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

Numbers here have been low from the beginning and have remained low. If there is a perfect example of the COVID thing being a hoax we are close to being it.

Nowhere in Pennsylvania were healthcare facilities in danger of overload.

We flattened the curve as was responsible in the early weeks of this relatively unknown virus.

The restrictions after early May were ludicrous and unnecessary.

Increased testing led to increased positives for people who already recovered from the virus....but that was spun into a “danger”, allowing for more restrictions, masks and socialists nonsense.

We should have been back to normal as a nation by early May.
