Allegheny County (which surrounds and contains the City of Pittsburgh) is one of six counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to have its own Department of Health.

County Health Departments can issue orders which exceed those enacted by the State but cannot relax State-issued edicts.

Today's restrictions were NOT enacted by Governor Wolf and PA DOH Secretary Dr. Levine.

Your Honor, I misread the sign. I thought it was a 3 drink MINIMUM.

Does IC Light qualify as a drink?

[Vendome]

customers will be limited to three alcoholic drinks per visit and everyone must be seated at a table

Faucist Much?

[Veto!]

Me too. Actually, I’m swilling Tonic Water, which has quinine in it, adding quinine extract drops. Quinine helps strengthen the immune system. Spoke with my doc, he says yes, do it.

So drink A LOT of gin and tonic for your health’s sake.

The Allegheny County Health Department has extended its ban on indoor dining and drinking indoors at bars and restaurants in the county for two weeks to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Hmmm, two weeks... two weeks... Sounds so familiar. Where have I heard that before?

Oh, yeah, from all of these jerks every two weeks for the last four months.

Suckers.

Does a 4th drink cause Covid?

[W.]

Five bucks for a cold case of returnables in the late ‘70s. Cheapest bullpiss in town... :)

Does IC Light qualify as a drink?

No. It is a medically recognized treatment for kidney stones.

[HamiltonJay]

Allegheny county has had about 180 deaths. About 150 of them have been in nursing homes and about 12 have been in people under 50. There is no justification for this lunacy. None
