Pennsylvania Nursing Home (LTC) death stats for September 19.
Based on figures received by the PA Department of Health as of midnight September 18/19.
LTC deaths = 5354 (up by 11)
Total deaths = 7956 (up by 22)
LTC deaths as percentage of total = 67.3 50% of newly reported.
Still the highest percentage in the NE US.
% of newly reported deaths is much better than yesterday’s which was 76%.
But none of this justifies the draconian restrictions still smothering the Commonwealth!
BTW, I live in Spain, as in Spain - OUCH! (Will you look at Spain! Wow!) in a resort town with 27,000+ full time residents that can easily double during peak summer season but at this time of year only on weekends. Our bars and restaurants are open and we go out regularly for Tapas and drinks. Ours is mainly a town that gets its tourists from inside of Spain rather than relying on people who fly in from other countries so we've been fortunate to have good crowds. The beaches are very busy and folks had a nice summer. During tourist season we had more people drown than die from Wuhan Flu. Wow!
LOL!
Just like Pennsylvania...11 non-nursing home COVID deaths yesterday.
More killed on the highways and by gunshots.
Ditch your diapers and draw a deep breath!
this is truly insane. how to stop it? to even find the bits worth reading, you have to wade thru the usual DM rubbish. however, pics do show Brits out enjoying themselves:
20 Sept: Daily Mail: Boris Johnson unveils £10,000 fines for those breaking self-isolation rules in strict new restrictions as coronavirus infections soar and battle rages among Ministers over a second lockdown
The news comes as the number of daily cases reached 4,422, the highest level since early May
But large crowds were still seen around markets and bars on Saturday, signalling little care for the rules
by Glen Owen
But fines for those breaching the rules, which come into effect a week tomorrow, will start at £1,000 rising to £10,000 for repeat offenders and the most egregious breaches, which would include business owners who threaten self-isolating staff with redundancy if they do not come to work...
A third of the people recorded to have died from Covid in July and August may actually have passed away due to other causes, researchers at Oxford University suggested...
Today the Government’s original lockdown architect, Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, recommended ‘rolling back’ freedoms ‘sooner rather than later’ by ‘reducing contact rates between people’.
The epidemiologist, who was sacked from SAGE for flouting his own lockdown rules, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘Right now we’re at about the levels of infections that we were seeing in late February, if we leave it at another two to four weeks we will be back at levels we were seeing more like mid-March’.

note DM doesn’t mention the scandal of Ferguson’s fake modelling, which allegedly prompted the initial lockdown.
as for BBC, they would be happy to see the economies of all Western nations collapse...because of “climate change” and all that.
also, didn’t see deaths mentioned in the DM article, and rarely hear deaths mentioned by any FakeNewsMSM in months:
20 Sept: Daily Mail: Second wave of Covid cases in Europe is not causing deaths to spike compared with the peak in spring
Difference may be explained by countries’ increased testing in recent months
But it could also be a sign the virus is mainly infecting younger, healthier people
Lockdown-free Sweden still has significantly lower rates than rest of Europe

check any chart for UK covid deaths. they aren’t having any worth mentioning, but it’s not easy just finding the best chart to show this.
check the red line on Fig 1:
Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional: week ending 4 September 2020
Figure 1: The number of deaths in England and Wales involving COVID-19 decreased for the 20th consecutive week...
The number of death registrations in England and Wales involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) decreased by 23 deaths from 101 in Week 35 to 78 in Week 36, the lowest number of COVID-19 deaths registered since Week 11 (week ending 13 March), the first week COVID-19 deaths were registered (five deaths)...

there is tons of stuff on this Twitter feed. everyone needs to study the evidence:
Twitter: Michael P. Senger
COVID lockdowns are not science, they’re CCP propaganda. See my pinned article for key details
Attorney, author of Chinas Global Lockdown Propaganda Campaign
17 Sept: By promoting fraudulent data, aggressively deploying disinformation, and flexing its institutional clout, Beijing transformed the snake oil of lockdowns into science, crippling rival economies, expanding its influence, and sowing authoritarian values.

Sept 19 re-tweets Caylan Ford
The Chinese Communist Party launched a massive propaganda blitz to promote draconian lockdowns, and then pivoted to promoting BLM protests and fanning racial resentment. Almost like they want to incapacitate and destabilize Western democracies. Hmmm.

Spain and the Netherlands are going ballistic right now.
As for the numbers, you come here and learn all about them,
but seem to think no one else does. Why is that?
You guys read all sorts of articles from the same media
sources that lie to you day in and day out, but when it comes
to COVID-19, you just know they have to be telling the truth.
Why is that?
I don’t look at these numbers and think they are dead on
target. I don’t think anyone else does either. At
least here we can discuss them, look at other reports
and come to our own conclusions.
If I don’t post them here, do you think folks will never
see them? People go Johns Hopkins and World-o-Meters all
the time. What’s the point of acting like they don’t
exist?
Every epidemic has numbers issues similar to the ones we’re
seeing right now with COVID-19, but when referencing past
epidemics, those numbers are seen as pure as the driven
snow. Why is that?
Do you think our hospitals didn’t get extra payouts for
the serious epidemics of the past?
One day it’s reported that Florida test centers are only
reporting out the positives. I check out the percentage
of overall positive test results, and find that Florida
was not out of line with the other states. If they had only
reported out positives, they would have been showing very
high positive percentage numbers. They weren’t.
New York state was reported to be double counting cases.
I looked at their case numbers compared to the top state.
It’s very doubtful they are double counting cases en mass.
It’s just another sensational headline with new cases.
They were somewhere in the 21-22% range compared to that
top state.
The media is contributing too the total chaos in the
public domain today. They want people unsettled. It helps
make them vulnerable to complaints against Trump, that
when Obama was president, everything was peachy, but
now under Trump they aren’t.
It is what it is.
Thanks for all your hard work.
By the way I normally ignore your crap posts but 2 panic posts just happened to be at the top of the list when I popped in and I looked to see if you had anything about Nashville, which you don't. I'll go back to ignoring your crap posts after this.
While I'm here, 1 person drowned in my town this summer. Given my earlier post can you figure out how many died from the Wuhan Flu, or do you need to consult a table first?
Gosh, how will I ever go on after that withering bunch of
nothing...
You'll go on because you enjoy scaring people. Pretty sad. And by the way, another numbers vs real life reality check for you:
Spain and the Netherlands are going ballistic right now.
I've lived here for the entire pandemic and I've seen Spain go ballistic. Ballistic is total lockdowns, roadblocks set up to make sure people from the cities aren't trying to sneak away to their vacation homes, police waiting at the checkout lines of Supermarkets checking IDs to see if you have come from another town, etc. Spain isn't ballistic. They aren't even a little ballistic and if they do try to go ballistic again odds are it will be targeted, not countrywide like the last time. I just got back from a Sunday flea market in a town in another province, something that would have been unthinkable when Spain was going ballistic. So keep crunching your numbers and making stuff up. I have a life to live.
Yes, i enjoy scaring people so much that I post COVID-19
numbers on the forum that reveal it is much less of a threat
than the seasonal flu.
You really are quite the strategic thinker.
In your extensive grasp of this disease, that didn’t dawn
on you?
As for where you live, what’s going on there, perhaps that
would have been interesting if it touched on the topic
we’re discussing. Remember, you were attacking me for
posting the information I do, daily.
If you enter the thread with your head extracted, you
might want to break the ice with your personal home
nation observations. In the middle of our exchange it
really isn’t germane.
Please provide one example of me making stuff up to
enhance the dire threat this disease represents.
When we go by milestones with a new level of numbers,
I nearly always provide the remaining Active Case
numbers to offset the impact.
Yeah, you’ve got a life to live. LOL Too bad that
didn’t dawn on you before you started spouting off
about things you couldn’t grasp.
Thank goodness we have smart people like you to keep us nervous and agitated while you ignore the information that might make them sleep easier at night. Excuse me now, I have to go deal with the Spanish people going ballistic while you go on pretending you matter.
Oh man, I’ve taken you away from your life again.
And now you have confessed you are nervous and agitated.
You should probably avoid this thread.
First of all, your comprehension skills aren’t exactly
stellar. I explain to you what is going on here, and
you pop back up to reveal you couldn’t grasp any of it.
No sparky, the information I provide lets folks know that
there is less to fear from this disease than there is from
the seasonal flu, which hardly anyone fears.
That is good news. It should help folks sleep better
at night. Again, something else that sailed right over
your head.
Here’s yet another point where you simply don’t grasp
reality. I never made a comment related to the Spanish
people going ballistic. I made a point about the number
of cases in Spain going up at an accelerated rate.
As for me pretending I matter, I never made that claim
either. I merely addressed my goals, which have nothing
at all to do with me claiming I was important or that
I attained the goals
You are unhappy primarily due to wildly false assumptions,
and a refusal to address reality when it is presented to
you.
You assumed I posted this information to cause fear. I
explained that my attempt was to help reduce fear. Instead
of you accepting that and moving on, you continue to
spout your mistaken assumption, rather than reality.
You can act as stupid as you like. I can’t stop you.
The information posted in these threads is useful, helpful, accurate (as much as it can be, considering it’s all preliminary), and has plenty of value. If some people can’t look at simple raw data without descending into panic, then those people should choose not to look at the data.
The only way to help people make informed decisions is to help ensure they remain informed. The answer is never less information; it’s always more. These threads provide useful information. If people can’t put that information into context, that’s their problem.
If you enjoy it, more power to you. I just wandered in by accident looking to see if he had posted anything about how the mayor of Nashville hid data and used the lack of information to raise taxes. I then noticed a comment about Spain that was so far removed from reality as to be laughable, which is what happens when all you do is look at numbers. On a normal day I would have looked at the title and moved on without bothering to open it. Now that’s what I intend to do in the future.
