No miracle required, just don’t hug the guy in the next campsite...
Pennsylvania has a total estimated population of around 12,820,878.
To date, 42,050 people have been diagnosed with Covid-19. This says that .32% of the TOTAL population has been diagnosed with Covid-19, and/or have received treatment.
Of the people who have been diagnosed only 3.7% (1,597 deaths), died from it. The vast majority of these have been elderly, and had preexisting conditions. Not inferring that these deaths should be taken lightly. These are not huge numbers.
When compared to the total population, the number that have died represents a .012% of the population,
I think the numbers point out most residents and visitors to PA can go camping with a good sense that they will make it back home again NOT infected with Covid-19. Maybe a rash from poison ivey or some bug bites. So go camping and have fun.
A lot of our deaths here in PA happened to folks in nursing homes... There was a report on that yesterday but I was not paying attention.
