This vote threatens federal support for programming on WITF — putting at risk educational programming, trusted news and emergency communications that our community depends on produced locally and from PBS and NPR. Now the proposal heads to the Senate.

The average number of daily case counts of COVID-19 increased 82% over the past two weeks in Pennsylvania. There were more than a thousand cases a day and the numbers were rising. However, hospitalizations went up 12% during the same period.
It means while the BA.2 subvariant of the virus is still infecting people, they aren’t getting as sick.
An 80% increase in cases over the past two years would be cause for alarm. Today, most experts don’t foresee a new wave of COVID infections because most people are vaccinated or have had COVID.
On Tuesday’s Smart Talk, we examine the current status of COVID in the midstate and what the future holds.
Appearing on the program is Dr. John Goldman, an infectious disease speciallist at UPMC.
