They tested him for everything and nothing came up positive so they kept him for 2 days to make sure he would be ok then released once he was better.




It's pretty evident what I'm showing? Its not supposed to "mean" anything. Just showing cases per day in Pennsylvania and it's metropolitan areas

People just do not seem to get state rights. In any disaster the federal government is limited until a state asks for help then the state has to agree on the type of help. Don't like that, doesn't matter it is a foundation of our government.

If it doesn't "mean" anything then why bother. Graphs are used for a specific purpose not to just show a numbers. You are causing people to infer a trend without good data.

1. There is a purpose. These are the PA health departments numbers per day-county organized. Shows the amount of cases across the state/region. I said it doesn't "mean" anything in the sense i don't have ulterior motive like you seem to be insinuating.

2. It's data from the PA department of health. They don't have good data? Where should I be looking then?

well, yeah, but you have to consider people post stuff just because they hate all things good or positive aspects of this country. they are self-miserable and just...hate, but its targeted and avoids certain special status groups or individuals.

short version - they were picked last in gym class and never got over it.

It’s always the people who learned two things in civics class who are the most smug. The president has extraordinary emergency powers. This guy failed to act.

If you don't get it then you just don't get it.

Yes and so does Congress and the states can do much more themselves. Read a little more from google. This is not a disease that will kill 50% of the population, it does not warrant Trump declaring marshal law. I can only imagine the response if he tried and the panic. I am talking about the basics of government, its not easy to exercise extremes nor is it in the best interest

A friend on Facebook shared a link in regards to the likelihood of 50% of Allegheny County being infected. I don't live there anymore but I hope every one of y'all and your families stays safe, happy, and healthy.

If 50% of the population contract this disease, and it has a .8% mortality rate, 1.5 million people will die.
