Pennsylvania is near the bottom. They have not handled the pandemic well, though almost everyone wears masks where I am.
Actually, it seems to be a distribution issue. Our county (Chester) has just been told that we're not getting any more vaccines for a while. I'll let Flygirl comment on the Amish, but that could be part of the problem as well.I gotta think it's partly due to a lot of the people living out in the country. The Amish I believe are pretty much "if it's my time, it's my time." That said, every state has people like that, but PA just seems to have more of them. My guess anyway.
Does anyone know where I can find the positivity % in Louisiana? The last few days NOLA.com and WDSU are posting the # of positive cases, but not total amount of tests.
Considering they are still just doing 65 on up, that number doesn't seem horrible.
I had thought the Amish were very, very small in number -- small enough to not be able to affect Pennsylvania's numbers for any metric.I gotta think it's partly due to a lot of the people living out in the country.

Looks like you were much closer to right than I was -- I was thinking maybe 15,000-20,000. It's estimated to be about 85,000Yeah, probably. I want to say there's just under 100k Amish in PA. Idk, good point. I was more thinking out loud.
