HARRISBURG, Pa, (WHTM) – On Monday, April, 20th at noon thousands of citizens, led by ReOpen PA, End The Lockdown PA and Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine, will come together to peacefully protest against lockdown restrictions continuing beyond May 1.

Here is the statement made by the organizers:

“Government mandating sick people to stay home is called quarantine. However, the government mandating healthy citizens to stay home, forcing businesses and churches to close is called tyranny.,” says Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine. “Business owners are being forced to layoff employees while the unemployment system is failing those laid off as the economy free falls.

This is a recipe for disaster with many in our society helpless. We cannot stand by and watch our neighbors suffer while the government considers prolonging these painful conditions. The economy should be reopened on May 1 for healthy citizens continuing enhanced sanitation habits to prevent any virus from spreading. Those with compromised immune systems should not have to re-enter the economy or workforce if they do not feel comfortable.”

We will have endured nearly seven weeks of lockdown when May 1 arrives. It is not sustainable to continue this lockdown as the economic and societal consequences will be irreversible. Opioid deaths increase 3.6% for every 1% unemployment rises, as child abuse and domestic violence have spiked along with mental health ailments. It is time to roll back these restrictions on May 1.

Protests are beginning to emerge across the country as concerned citizens strive to return the economy to normal. These protests have been peaceful as will this event. We invite the media to cover our protest at the State Capitol Building.

ReOpen Pa, End The Lockdown PA and Pennsylvania Against Excessive Quarantine are organizations formed in the last 5 days with members exceeding 10,000. These groups are not affiliated with any political party, political action group, or any other organization.

My mother would have liked you. She started us taking C, D, zinc, every day. Been doing it for years.

Partner, I was taking my physical about 10 yrs. ago and this guy that was there said that he takes a megadose of 7000 mg of vitamin C every day especially from Oct. 1st thru the end of May.

I have followed his advice from that day that we met taking a physical.
If you are taking the Vitamins C, D, and Zinc you should be o.k. just taking these vitamins. I take about 5 vitamin D's in the morning and take about 3 pills at night. At night I take vitamin D about 3 pills and vitamin D-3 about 6. Vitamin D-3. I have also heard that vitamin Zinc is good for these colds and the flu.

I probably take too many Vitamins right now but I have not been sick with a cold or flu since I talked with this guy.

US 30 is my overland route at least as far east as Breezewood. It takes only 20 minutes longer under normal conditions.

Protest seem to be sweeping the nation.

But....ah yes, my prediction, come May 1 the American people will rise up.

To avoid any possible misinterpretation how about predicting May 2?
