HARRISBURG Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday will order a statewide shutdown as the number of coronavirus cases in Pennsylvania continues to grow, according to three sources familiar with the decision.
Wolf and other state officials will release more details to the public at 2 p.m.
The governor had previously placed four counties Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery under a shutdown order. That involved asking non-essential businesses like gyms, hair salons, and concert venues to close for 14 days. Wolf said pharmacies, grocery stores, and gas stations should stay open.
Residents there were urged to curtail any non-essential travel.

No cash allowed to pay tolls on PA Turnpike.
Something they've been wanting to do for over a decade. They finally got their excuse.

I don’t think most people know the difference between a flu virus and a SARS virus.
To: Dilbert San Diego
The flu kills far more people and DOESN’T inspire world-wide panic!

Ill see your two week restaurant closure and Ill raise you an 8:00 pm to 5:00am curfew.
Every governor is trying to outdo the others with stupid new restrictions.
The whole bar graph garbage is out the window. Ohio had 28 suspected cases as of Friday. Today suspected cases is only 37.
And notice the fine print asterisk of 3700 (suspected) cases in the US. Not even actual cases.

And yet he is STILL holding special elections tomorrow in Allegheny County and Westmoreland County because he hopes to flip two special elections from R to D.
When they could easily be moved to the April 28 regular primary election.

The attack of the democrat governors attack continues. Pennsylvania, Washington, California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, all working to shut down the economy.

Yeah, gee, what a coincidence, huh? I noticed that too.
Russia-Russia-Russia, impeach-impeach-impeach, now Corona-Corona-Corona.
Can’t wait for the NEXT Triple Play, in a week or two, once they realize this is failing.

Hopefully ammo prices remain stable (low/regular)
To: ConservativeInPA
I was at Walmart and no one was buying ammo, I may check it out today, see what prices are like and pick up some different flavors.
Where in PA are you?

Thank You! Yes! Mike DeWine does something and Tom Wolf has to keep up. Then Cuomo has to one-up that, etc.

Trump needs to get out there and start talking to the public on what's going on and quit sending cryptic tweets. He's dropping the ball on messaging on this bigtime.
