Governor Announces New Statewide Measures To Battle Coronavirus

I see you fly no state flag on your profile.
Perhaps because you live in one of the few Uber-Constitution-Adhering states and just don't like to brag, right ?

[caww]

The won’t be able to get it across borders...all states surrounding NY are also doing likewise. Como’s asked their Governors to do what he does regarding this virus and closings etc. (Playing President of the areas)

[Alberta's Child]

Maybe for you, but not for most Pennsylvania residents. If most people in PA had your attitude this dope never would’ve been elected in the first place.

[Alberta's Child]

I think you’re right. Wolf is probably fine if he gets an 80% compliance rate among PA business owners. And I suspect no business owners who stay open will get into trouble unless they fire employees for refusing to report to work.

[FlipWilson]

Nope, I live in NJ and actually think the people of PA, where I used to live, are being held hostage by that governor.

[Salvation]

Panicking!

[Alberta's Child]

I don’t think Cuomo cares about PA. His focus is on the tri-State area surrounding NYC.

[tomkat]

I think the statist bastard’s gonna be a little surprised at the reaction this gets.

[Carriage Hill]

Great marketing strategy of driving mass sales into a 24hr period, but voters will remember it in Nov.

[Sooth2222]

Golf Courses?

Breathing fresh air puts one at risk?

[6ppc]

IIRC PA has state run liquor stores...just like here in AL.

[Thumper1960]

State run. Yep. And the socialists refuse to allow privatization.

[terart]

My brother headed directly to the state store after work...total mad house. Waited in line with all the infected for almost an hour to get alcohol

[caww]

That’s not what he said in his speech today....he said he’d be talking with Pa Gov. since it also borders his state.

Yep - some perspective and other thoughts: Over 40,000 fatal car accidents per year in the U.S. Each day, more than 90 Americans die in car accidents. On average, 2 million drivers experience a permanent injury every year. “Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.” ― William Pitt the Younger Kind of ironic - we know that the Deep State and others use fear as a way to steer and control the people - we had the commie/nuke war threat until the Berlin Wall came down then it wasn’t viable anymore and up pops Globull Warming, which has many in fear that we’re gonna destroy the Earth even as we do less harm than past generations and none of the data actually supports anything but the earth’s climate and Mother Nature do not now, and never did have a “balance” and even if they did, we have no idea of how to maintain one or ‘fix’ things...all our efforts end up causing more harm....the coronavirus scare is no different - the panic-induced knee-jerking will cause more harm than the virus. Folks who would be up in arms if the government decided to tell them they could not move freely are now begging that same government to lock them, and everyone else, down....I’d wager if, after doing that, the story ‘evolved” they would also go meekly to barb-wire surrounded camps/tent cities because the “latest info” said that’s the only way to stop it. Even though we know that they use fear to guide and control us, so many can’t see it through the red haze of insane panic....they not only welcome the government controls, they beg for them... And the fear mongers will try to leverage it... Reminds me of a saying that many FReepers, who are now acting insane, used to showcase: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Ben Franklin

Seriously? He should really save such measures for a situation when 3/4 of the state's counties are in COVID trouble (either community spread or in their own shutdowns).

Teach you people to elect a Democrat for governor (although Hogan (RINO-MD) isn't much better).

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Head to Indiana.
Walmart was stocked to the roof with beer, wine, and booze.

"Westbound and down, 18 wheels a-rollin' . . ."

[Vermont Lt]

Really? How much “on fire” does your house need to be until you wait to call the fire department?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Next, he will be de facto sending everyone across the PA border to purchase in NJ or another neighboring state.

NJ has a COVID outbreak and an 8pm curfew. Luck to you PA rumrunners.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

They’ll be bribing cops, in spite of the seriousness of the situation, to let them stay open. Prohibition, Part Deux.
