The positive test rate rose to 9.5% for the week of April 2-8, which represents a slight increase from 9.4% the previous week. It is the fourth straight week the positive rate has risen, but the uptick is much smaller than in previous weeks.

And that was DESPITE a wider opening of bars and restaurants on April 4!

The downside of being an NYC exurb.

Is there any upside?

“Please continue to wear a mask, wash your hands, practice social distancing,
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

One could read that line as ‘them’ saying it doesn’t work but keep doing it anyhow....

(At least that is how ‘they’ would flip it were ‘we’ to say the opposite)

As long as the new positive cases are treatable, isn’t it a good thing to have high numbers for that means there are more people carrying the anti-bodies? The sum total of those vaccinated and those with the anti-bodies from positive testing should make for herd immunity by now. But then, I am neither a scientist not media personality, what do I know!!!

I consider this to be expected after a forced lockdown

This is how viruses spread and heard immunity is built.

From the article: “Most of those who are infected suffer relatively mild symptoms and many don’t even get sick, health officials say.”

So how do many even know they have it? Some bogus test.

Actually never hear anything about anyone getting Covid since it started over a year ago.

Wow!

I’ve been planning a trip out to western PA (soon).

Maybe I can wait a little bit.

Ironic that the virtually all the strictest mask mandate and lockdown states are the ones being the hardest hit.....just ironic. /s

How are mask mandates and lockdowns increasing the spread of Covid?

If more people are finally getting in for inpatient and outpatient medical procedures, guess what’s goosing some of the numbers...

Pennsylvania sounds like a covid antibody factory ... that’s a good thing to build immunity, herd or individual. Something that’s been stretched out months longer than it needed to be by the deliberate actions of the governor and his politburo of unelected bureaucrats and, of course, “medical experts.”

If you go by deaths per 100k people, SD which is supposed to be the loosest is higher than PA.

Let everyone get and get over it so we can move on. Unfortunately, this is all being managed and delayed so Big Pharma can make more money on experimental treatments masquerading as “vaccines”.

If I understand it correctly, nearly 10% of the people being tested are coming back positive. That’s a pretty high number.

I’m still scratching my head how they count “new cases”. I imagine it is all self-reporting.

I don’t think anyone is claiming wearing a mask is increasing the Covid cases. But you knew that...

What is being noticed is wearing a mask certainly is not as effective as the Mask Nazi’s would have us believe.
