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!
Thanks for all your hard work.
