Unique Vaccine delivery System developed by the University of Pennsylvania.

A patch with microneedles delivers the vaccine.

[BikerJoe]

UPMC is University of Pittsburgh

[ocrp1982]

Pittsburg is in Pennsylvania. Close enough!!! :>)

[PA Presbyterian]

Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania is spelled with an “h.” Pittsburg without an h is in Kansas.

Worked a gun show in Pittsburg back in ‘75 with the boss. Nice folks, great weekend! Brought 2 cases of Coors back to NW Ohio. Popular, was I.

[ocrp1982]

Apologies. The only thing I know about PittsburgH is, they lose football games to New England no matter the talent level they draft and, they helped vote our President into office. For the latter, I am eternally grateful.

Attention to everyone outside PA. 1) Pittsburgh has a h. It's easy to remember because all other burgs in the US do not have a h. It's a post office standardization that Pittsburgh got changed for itself. 2) Pitt, as in the University of Pittsburgh and Penn, as in the University of Pennsylvania are at opposite ends of the commonwealth. Penn is in Philadelphia. 3) If you grew up in the Philadelphia area, are older than 50 and educated, you never say or write Philly. (Except I just did it.) 4) Penn should never be confused with Penn State, which is The Pennsylvania State University. (Sorry Ohio State, we have a "The" too). Both are private by the way, though Penn State receives some state funding, but is not part of the state university system. 5) Penn State is between Pitt and Penn, in University Park, PA, but people say State College due to the Borough of State College, which is adjacent to University Park. Both are situated dead center in the state, in Centre County. That's spelled with an re. I don't know the reason for that, and I am sure you are glad that I don't.

We will now return to our normal programming.

[ocrp1982]

LMAO. Thanks for the state of PA synopsis. BTW, the ‘tre’ is the English (as in the country) spelling of the word. Theatre is how the brits spell Theater. So, now you know.

[ConservativeInPA]

I know the English spelling of center, but don’t know how Centre County kept the spelling. It might be as simple as that, they never changed the spelling from colonial times

We will now return to our normal programming.

Does that mean we can go back to spelling it Pittsburg?

[ocrp1982]

The most likely explanation.
BTW, your use of the term Commonwealth in reference to the state caused me some level of curiosity. It is not a term I am familiar with so, I looked it up. It seems that the term is an old English term in reference to a Constitutional Republic form of government.
Massachusetts is also officially called the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I find the irony of this to be off the charts considering the politics of the population.

[ConservativeInPA]

Kentucky and Virginia are also commonwealths. The basic idea is that the citizens share the wealth of the state and the citizens are the state. This includes the ownership of resources in common, e.g., public lands and mineral rights, which a republican form of government can control on behalf of its citizens, since it is elected by its citizens. Hence, we have the phrase, "government for the people, and by the people." Common property however does not supersede private ownership of property.

With all that said, it means little today. PA functions like most other states, although it is a bit more corrupt.

If you have a chance sometime, read the constitutions of states, beginning with the states that were the original provinces. You'll find a lot of powers and rights in state constitutions that existed prior to the founding of the USA, that were incorporated in the US Constitution, in particular, the Bill of Rights, which was even later. You can even see how some phrases were directly taken from state constitutions.

[ConservativeInPA]

Well, being a conservative, I would have to say we spell it by its original spelling, Fort Duquesne.

[Gil4]

That has a nice ring to it, although it’s not going to help in the spelling department (and there will be no way to convince the folks here in Oklahoma to use the French pronunciation and understands the s is silent. (Arkansas is usually OK, but Illinois or Des Moines - forgert it.)

[Amendment10]

Everybody needs to get tested for COVID-19 before they get vaccinated for it in my non-medical opinion.

We need to see how how virus spreads, exposure to small amounts of COVID-19 over time possibly naturally vaccinating healthy people anyway.

NYC people for example, may be sick because of a quicker build-up of COVID-19 due to much-repeated exposure to it.

Vaccinating people without first testing them to see if they already have it will destroy this valuable data for possibly better fighting COVID-19 in the future.

Corrections, insights welcome.
