CDC loosens COVID-19 masking guidance, but Philly is keeping its mask mandate for now

A change in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance for mask-wearing Friday means federal authorities no longer recommend indoor masking as a COVID-19 precaution for much of Southeastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia.

Whether that will change masking policy set by the health department in Philadelphia, the only place in the region with an indoor mask mandate, is uncertain.

The Philadelphia Department of Public Health said it would review the CDC’s new guidance, but the safety restrictions in place in the city are based on local conditions and “months of data specific to Philadelphia,” said Matt Rankin, a spokesperson for the department.

“At this time we plan to continue the implementation of these current response levels as the pandemic unfolds,” he said.

Low-IQ professional affirmative-action government bureaucrats never give up any power over the people they hate.

My home state of KY has gone for Trump in both 2016 and 2020, but we have this *bad words I can’t use here* Dem gov (the last guy was a Repub that went up against the teachers union and got whooped) Wrings his hands over Covid but he let the Breonna Taylor/BLM marches roll through my hometown of Louisville with barely any opposition. The Dem Louisville mayor (on his last term THANK. GOD.) isn’t much better. So I don’t see the masks going away any time soon here, unfortunately.

I’m in Philadelphia right now on a business trip. —disgusting, filthy, typical east coast hellhole. Bums, beggars and bags of garbage blocking the sidewalks

I went to H Mart in Filthadelphia a couple days ago. Everyone masked— gave me the stink eye because I wasn’t. They actually had people checking “vaccine passports” just to sit in the food court area.
