Pennsylvania officials have been weighing a new ban on indoor dining and the mandatory closures of gyms and casinos — and a decision is likely to come within days, said a Capitol source with knowledge of the administration’s planning but not authorized to speak publicly about it.

Though a spokesperson for Gov. Tom Wolf stressed that no decisions have been finalized, speculation ran through Harrisburg and beyond Wednesday about whether and when Wolf would implement new pandemic restrictions.

One thing I’m wondering is, will the REAL numbers ever be known? Is there any way to determine that?

I can’t even imagine the rage the citizenry would feel on finding out that everything America has endured since March was unnecessary, unfounded, and untrue.

Why doesn’t the Gov. release HCQ/Zinc Sulfate and release Ivermectin for public use to cure Covid 19. Both have a 99% cure rate. Problem solved.

The facist governator needs to ban any defense of Pa.’s electoral fraud before the SCOTUS.

Why put the Pa. AG at risk?

Now, now, let’s not have any wild talk of revolt. Just hush up, strap on your face diaper, and do what the funny man in a dress tells you.

As far as I know doctors just have to write a scrip.

Tommie the Commie and "Don't Call Me Dick" Levine have nothing to say about it.

April/May had 1600 cases a day in Penn with a smoothed peak of 160 deaths a day. Now they are up to 10k cases a day, but taking the time 7K cases a day from late Nov, there are 150 deaths a day, or 2% fatality down from 10%. And the 2% is overstated.

In Nashville, not a single case could be traced back to a restaurant. Yet they continue to bombard them with restrictions and mandates

We will never know the real numbers. That is intentional.

People will openly flout the ban and go business as usual. Will not happen overnight but it won't take long. In the end, there will be too many of them and LEO’s will be too swamped to deal with it.

The real numbers are the excess deaths which are pretty accurate. Deaths are not fake, nor are previous years average deaths. But from those excess deaths you have to subtract the "presumed" COVID, the obviously not COVID and all the extra deaths created by lockdowns and deferred medical care. We are looking at least 200k excess if you subtract about 100k of other deaths (WAG).

Restaurants probably don't have much spread. But bars are a good bet. The reason they don't trace back to bars is the barfly brought it home and spread it and they only go back one person in the tracing (if they are lucky).

I think stats are exaggerated in U.S. while they are grossly underreported in China.

But both are done for political purpose.

I am sure it’s just a coincidence that the same people (mostly power hungry control freaks) are in almost in complete charge of our day to day life.

A statement by the California health secretary (excerpted from a commentary on Crowder's website):

"The decision to include, among other sectors, outdoor dining, and limiting that, turning to restaurants to deliver and provide takeout options instead, really has to do with the goal of trying to keep people at home, not a comment on the relative safety of outdoor dining."

"We advise against anything that you can do in another way, in a lower risk way, that avoids you leaving your home..."

Crowder: So, there's no science saying that outdoor dining is unsafe. It's just unsafe for you to leave your house in the first place. According to experts. The same experts who told us fifteen days to flatten the curve. Nine months ago. The outdoor dining ban isn't about science. This "expert" confirmed that. It's all about control. California doesn't want you to leave your house. So they'll take away reasons to leave your house. You know, for your own good.

Things are getting too hot re Election Fraud. Their response is to shut it all down.
