Public Safety alert
In PA, COVID-19 rates are rising & hospitals could soon be at capacity. Stay home if possible. If you must go out, maintain social distance, wear a mask, wash your hands for 20 seconds. Stay up to date on the spread of COVID in your community so you can protect your loved ones with the COVID Alert PA app.

Gov Wolf: I shut down the bars tonight, trying to shut down the schools, what the hell else can I do... Put out an Amber alert for Coronavirus?
Sec. Ray Finkle: do it.
Yes, I suspect this is a violation of the law that established EAS.
Bagpipe Bill will probably deliver a thoughtful lecture about it at some symposium 18 months from now.
look, it’s information. as long as it’s accurate information, and reasonably in the public interest, you’re actually arguing in favor of ignorance — all because the basic information being communicated can be twisted into uses we don’t like. Hell, ANY information can be abused. don’t come off like the fascists that we’re fighting.
And get the weed out of your tailpipe.
What rally? We’re talking election protests.
;>)
Yes, but could he last for 20 seconds?
So...you’re cool with billion dollar taxpayer funded systems being used to propagandize us?
Not what I said. Here is what I said, and what I will continue to say:
I’m cool with mass communication of accurate information that is reasonably in the public interest.
Mad man hogan just sent one out in the freakstate Maryland telling all to be safe and wear a mask..... If you can’t be an athlete, be an athletic supporter!
Problem is, Tommie cries "wolf" too frequently.

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
It’s all BS. Doing everything in their power to scare people!!
PA hospitals are nowhere near capacity and are not going to
Get there because you spend time with your friends and family!!!
These people are immoral..
I’m close enough to the Mason-Dixon that I received a similar one from Maryland just a few minutes after Pennsylvania’s.
lol
But it’s not accurate. Nowhere near. Hospitals here are NOT overflowing.
CA (Newsom) went into curfew lockdown for purple level (most populous?) counties beginning Nov. 21 and extending at least until Dec. 21.
Wash your hands and wear a mask is not any sort of message that hasn’t been shoved down our throats for months.
Not sure what your weed comment means.
I a wireless emergency alert that can’t be turned off. That probably explains it
yeah, you have a point. I googled up PA hospital capacity. many stories out there saying they can still handle a surge. many more prime examples of what the God damned MSM SAYS that science says, but didn’t really say. And many hysterical stories about what THE MODELS say — and who thought anyone would have the balls to mention the **cking models ever again.
Ultimately, this isn’t an untrue statement, but it is intended to unnecessarily scare people:
“COVID-19 rates are rising & hospitals could soon be at capacity.”
I still have no problem with the idea if the emergency COVID text. I have an issue with the wording. Rates ARE rising; we probably SHOULD try to be smart over the holiday.
Those so inclined may lodge a complaint with the FCC here.

My daughter is an ICU nurse. If they were approaching capacity I think I would know.
According to her they can ramp-up additional ICUs quickly if needed. Hospitals don’t maintain them constantly for economic reasons.
“I don’t really see a problem with mass communicating information, as long as it’s accurate”
