While the disease may be working its way around the country, it's still spotty. Even in MontCo, there are areas with with lower double digit cases. The municipalities with the most cases are those closest to the border with Philadelphia. Under the "working from out to in" theory, there should be increasing cases as one moves north away from Phila, but that does not appear to be the case as the new daily reported cases in MontCo have been declining since hitting a peak a week ago.
Personally, I am very surprised Philly's cases are only 6k+ (of 1.5M residents) what with people living in duplexs and row homes cheek-to-jowl. Kudos to Mayor Kenney and all the residents for not becoming NYC.
Without widespread anti-body testing, I'm inclined to take Levine's claim about contagiousness with a grain of salt.
BTW, shopping in Giant Eagle out here is now like driving in Center City - every other street is one way!
