Pa.'s First Covid-19 Fatality Was Harness Racing Trainer From Wind Gap

Carmine Fusco, Pennsylania's and Northampton County's first Covid-19 fatality, was a harness trainer from Wind Gap. According to Harness Link, he is one of several family members who has been infected, and his sister passed away soon before he did. But some details of this account are disputed by his sister.

He was a friend of Judge Anthony Beltrami, an enthusiast of harness racing.

Fusco's unfortunate death, combined with a spike in confirmed cases, has some people concerned. It should be noted that this sudden increase might be explained as the result of more testing being available.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
