Pittsburghs virus success fizzles in crowded bars, eateries – Fox Business

Fox Business Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on FoxBusiness.com. By his estimation, Stephen Santa took Pennsylvania's coronavirus lockdown seriously: He pretty much went only to grocery stores and picked up takeout once a week to help Pittsburgh's restaurants. Whatever Santa and everyone else in Pittsburgh did, it seemed to work: The city racked up a fraction of the coronavirus cases during the spring shutdown, while the other side of Pennsylvania flared up into a hot spot.

"In partnership with Walgreens, 2,791 samples were collected for processing through the Delaware Public Health Lab in the first week of testing.

New trailers: Bill & Ted Face the Music, Beyoncé’s Black is King, and more – The Verge

I spent last week burning through The Great, Hulu’s new-ish series that has Elle Fanning playing a very fictionalized version of a young Catherine the Great. The first season is about Catherine (not yet the Great) preparing to overthrow her husband, the emperor, and take power, which is a pretty amazing conflict to center on.

I don’t know if the show can thrive once Catherine is no longer the unde...
