In reply to the discussion: All K-12 schools in Pennsylvania shut down for 2 weeks amid coronavirus outbreak [View all]BumRushDaShow
(146,822 posts)the partial shutdowns of the rim counties ended up negatively impacting Philly. For example this morning, they had to cancel a number of commuter trains due to SEPTA personnel who were self-quarantined in other counties. Same thing happened earlier with the teachers not having enough staff due to teachers either self-quarantined or calling in absent to deal with childcare when the counties they lived in started closing their schools.
So where you are, Pittsburgh is part of Allegheny County but Philadelphia is its own county that had been excluded from the earlier restrictions on the rim counties, However there is obviously no "wall" between all these counties, so the restrictions elsewhere impacted here in a way that wasn't really anticipated.
