A new order signed Wednesday by state Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine makes masks mandatory in Pennsylvania even when you’re outside in a public place.
Gov. Tom Wolf said the mandate expands an order signed in April that requires the wearing of masks in businesses. The new order is effective immediately, Wolf said.

Your civil disobedience protects me.
My civil disobedience protects you.
I wear a mask whenever I am near people, and of course inside because businesses can get fined and shut down if I don’t (my work requires me to wear one).
It is no big deal. I got one with zombies on it. It is the apocalypse, after all.
I don’t wear it when I’m not near people. Because that would be stupid.
Any fool can make a law, and any fool can mind it.
Good rule of thumb for wearing them . I have a Philadelphia Eagles mask
Good for you!
“Sadly I had to cancel some things I go to for a while.”
It sounds like you think this mask-wearing thing is going to end. I’m skeptical. It think it’ll only get worse.
I think like you.
Might as well try to decouple, detach, find alternate ways to get by.
My contempt for karens and tin pot petty dictators is beyond imagination.
“Someone who is exercising.”
So virtually anyone walking on a street or trail can claim to be exercising.
Even if you’re just standing there, looking at the sunrise, you can say, “I was doing deep breathing exercises. But I had to take a short break between sets to cool down.”
I have a clown character I play at a theme park, and I want to get a mask with a clown mouth, so I can just do my forehead and eyes, and make lockdown videos. Although I waited so long... I had planned to do this if my work got shut down or I got the COVID and had to self-quarantine.
