Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has directed businesses in the state to provide their employees with masks and has suggested that those who do not wear masks while shopping be denied service during the coronavirus pandemic.
Wolfs remarks and the order came during a news conference on Wednesday. In addition to businesses being required to provide face masks for employees, the order also states that businesses must stagger work schedules in an attempt to prevent large gatherings.
According to Wolf, the order, which will begin on Sunday at 8:00 p.m., will also apply to customers and will require all customers to wear masks while on premises, and deny entry to individuals not wearing masks, unless the business is providing medication, medical supplies, or food.
Those who cannot wear a face mask due to health conditions will not be required to do so and will be forced to provide medical documentation. Children under the age of two will also not be required to wear a mask.
Businesses who fail to comply with the order risk the loss of their business license, fines, and citations. According to Wolf, state agencies including the Health, Agriculture, and Labor and Industry departments, the state police, Liquor Control Board, and local officials will enforce the order.

‘This when cases are subsiding on their own with no proof any of this has any affect other than to make the sheeple submit.’
yes, but those same sheeple demand the boot up their asses...
‘And if it hasnt been fit to you and you have not been trained in how to wear it it will do you no good anyway.’
so in other words, masks worn by the public at large have no benefit at all...which is what we were told weeks ago...
Contact every retailer you do business with and tell them that if they enforce this you will no longer be their customer.
Protest. Harrisburg. Monday April 20. Be there.
Clearly you do not get liberalism. This is symbolism over substance. The mask order has nothing to do with limiting the spread of the virus. It has everything to do with making the fearful believe the state is doing something as well as exercising the power of making every citizen perform a marginally meaningless task just for the sake of exercising power.
I wonder how the governor's imposing mask orders would respond to people who opt for kkk hoods as their choice of mask.
I know people who have already written “F*** You Tom Wolf” on their mask.
Masks ans Gloves
Three reasons to wear a mask and gloves.
1. Protect the wearer from infection from others who are ill.
2. Protect other’s from the wearer who is I’ll.
3. Comply with the edict.
1 & 2 assume everyone is contagious. Guilty before proven innocent.
#3 reveals the fascists among us. Fearpers.
The mask isn’t to protect the wearer; it is to keep your sneezes and coughs from infecting others.
NJ was very late in ordering this; it is a good idea.
Yep, same here. Had to actually sign a document stating I received the mask. Told someone I was going to put the comment on it, Wolf Needs To Go To Remedial Constitution Class.
The hilarious thing is most sensible folks have been doing this right along.
The government is always a day late and a dollar short.
F.U.T.
Clean up your cesspool cities and leave us up country folks alone.
The Democrat governors are setting the stage for an argument over “who’s actions were more decisive” in defeating the pandemic — theirs or President Trump. Can’t really blame them. Look who they’re running for president this year?
But the blonde chick is pretty hot!
Oh...wait...
The PA site tells you all you need to know......
26490 cases, 647 deaths 2.4%
Nursing Homes only
3316 cases, 324 deaths 9.8%
50% of all deaths are nursing homes.
Death rate without nursing homes, 1.4% = Flu
Total scam. Tom Wolf kills nursing home patients.
sorry. I understood what you were saying and was adding on to why the order is ridiculous
Bingo
Those are indeed some very inconvenient numbers for Gov. Wolf. Thanks for posting.
Cuomo isn’t even insisting on a mask, just a cloth that covers the nose and mouth.
Would a bandana over the nose and mouth of a WuFlu carrier offer any protection to the public?
waiting for the stories about how this governor legalized klan hoods.
Who knows. If that perso. were coughing or sneezing it might keep some of the bigger particles out of the air. it if that person were ill they should be wearing a mask or staying home anyway
Speaking of that, not staying home when you’re sick, it would be easier to know if that’s happening much if the public health officials would provide more info on how WuFlu is being spread.
Steuben County in Upstate NY is an interesting exampke. Lots of nursing home cases unfortunately, but what about the rest? I think it would be helpful to know the percentage of patients who know other patients. Because if that’s a high proportion of the caseload, it would seem that WuFlu isn’t casually spread at all. That a person needs some serious face time with a carrier to get it.
