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.

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.

I’m close enough to the Mason-Dixon that I received a similar one from Maryland just a few minutes after Pennsylvania’s.

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.

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.
