ennsylvania registered 5,951 new COVID-19 infections over the weekend, according to data from the state’s tracking dashboard.

It continues the surge that began in early July, when the daily average of new infections had fallen below 200.

As of early Monday, 1,115 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 in Pennsylvania, up from 935 on Friday. Of those, 301 were in intensive care and 128 were on breathing ventilators.

Hospitalizations in Pennsylvania had fallen to 256 on July 13, with fewer than 50 in intensive care. The average daily number on ventilators had dipped to 32 on July 25.

As of Sunday, 80% of Pennsylvanians 18 or older have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. That tied Pennsylvania for the ninth-highest percentage in the United States. Just over 64% of Pennsylvanians 18 or older are fully vaccinated.

The state health department as of early Monday had reported no new COVID-19 deaths since Friday.

Pennsylvania’s levels of new infections and hospitalizations remain well below its winter peaks. At the worst point, in December, daily infections topped 12,000 and well over 6,000 people were hospitalized. Deaths averaged more than 200 per day in early January.

The interactive graph at the Pennlive link indicates that hospitalizations are now about where they were in late October.

So cases are up?

BFD.

The dreaded, “dangerous Delta variant” is proving to be more infectious and much, much less lethal—exactly as predicted.

I’m part of the 20%.

How many are typically in ICU across the state anyway?

I believe I saw an article late last week indicating that PA was about 60% vaccinated.

Most of these numbers are just made up.

Everything “official” about Covid is made up.

I have to ask how many ILLEGAL INVADERS has the Xiden Regime dropped into Pennsylvania? Bet that may have an effect.

And how many are ILLEGAL aliens recently bussed in from crossing the border?

PA is flooded with ‘em.

Can always tell - shiny new PA plates, on a shined up POS Whooptie, driving on a NY, CT, NJ street first thing in the morning, with 4 or 5 folks in it.

hmmmmm . . . ?

128 were on breathing ventilators

So, were those the ones they had scheduled on admission for lung damage, DNRs, and death? They need the numbers. Can't get big government checks without big numbers.

Notice the rush to those $39,000 a day ventilators ... probably people on hospice for something else but an opportunity to turn tragedy into bucks.

How many of the new cases and hospitalizations were vaccinated/not vaccinated? Previously infected/not previously infected?

Does the state health department know this information? If so, are they sharing it with us? If not, why not?
