Dr. Rachel calls me directly to report on PASR first before they post broadly. Good to know people I guess

888 new in PA reported today. 4 straight with less than 1000 and 3 straight under 900. That's encouraging for sure.

That's definitely not good. I'd be curious though (and I can't find this anywhere) to see how we're doing per capita vs. all of Europe.

No waffle now since salty received clues. Maybe I'll bring him a laffy taffy instead.

Salty I'll buy you a Waffle from the Waffle Haus if you can tell me what the Tetons are named after, without looking online of course.

I hope we're not but you're probably right. One thing PASR definitely does right are ski trips (with corresponding TR). Will be interesting to see if those happen. I'm hopeful but who the hell knows.

True although Jim Thorpe and Lehighton are really low (35 or so total between the two of them) and folks are definitely much closer than they are on the mountain. In other Carbon County Covid 19 related news, Mahoning Valley Cinema is closed for good which is a huge bummer.

BTW 865 new today in PA. That's three straight days with less than 1k reported.

Not gonna lie. Get a little prideful of that being a Carbon county resident. Every county around us is in quadruple digits and here we are sitting at less than 200. Don't get me wrong I wish there was none of this but Carbon is definitely doing their part based on the numbers. There's a sign just outside Jim Thorpe that says stay home Carbon county or something like that shows a map with with hot spot counties surrounding us.

It was yes. They were pushing that pretty hard which is why, between that and the keyboard, I thought companies would be all over it for their mobile workforce.

This coming from someone who uses a 4.7 inch screen (?) phone as their only means of computing and no I never purchased the newer blackberry devices as my virtual keyboard works just fine. I was simply sharing that there have been attempts, albeit failed, to reinvigorate the BB brand recently. It wouldn't be completely unheard of to see one out in the wild.

A few years ago rights to the blackberry brand were purchased by TCL. TCL brought BB back running Android with the Blackberry KeyOne and the KeyTwo. They weren't bad phones and I really thought the Enterprise segment were gonna be all over it but it doesn't appear to have panned out. TCL, from what I read, won't re up on BB when it expires this year.

I think 40 and 48 down may need correction.

I agree. Frozen candy bars no but ice cream yes. I mean who doesn't like a Choco Taco or a Chipwich while sitting poolside??

It's almost as if the Tetons are a really popular place that most people have heard of.

825 new positives reported in PA today a lower number than usual but typical on Monday reporting.

Yep. Three diving boards to get my flip on and that waterslide is badass. The pool is massive, Place is clean, Basketball and volleyball courts and the snack bar is good.

Sucks because we bought a membership to the Palmerton Pool for this season. For those of you unfamiliar the P-Town pool is the bomb dot com.

Spent all day outside doing some stuff that needed to get done. Grass finally starting to grow. This week I need to mulch. Driveway resurface scheduled for next week.

You called it. 962 new cases reported today.

Do y'all wash the mask after using it each time or am I just being paranoid?

I posted that on April 1st...

You're welcome and anytime. Side note ...I went to BK tonight for he first time in about 2 or 3 months to grab an impossible Whopper. Was very impressed... drive thru only. fully gloved and masked. They put the card reader out so I just pop my card in and out then the food is placed in bags on a glass tray. They hold the glass tray out the window and I just grab the bags and head on my way. Props BK in Brodheadsville.

They're definitely in a better position from what I can see. Here's Italy's curve vs ours.
