"the people of Pennsylvania wanted the emergency to be over.
It’s over.
It was going to be over at some point, and that over is today.”

Finally. What a nightmare. I’m so disappointed in how compliant people were.

The main takeaway should be how partisan the vote was: “along party lines”.

Can we finally agree that this whole thing was 100% Leftist fear-mongering and political exploitation?

They should pass election reform through Amendment.

The resolution by law to end the emergency was enacted months ago and ended the emergency. The constitutional amendment was used to defeat the supreme courts rewriting the law as passed.

For PA Freepers...

“...while still more allowed the state to maximize the number of vaccine providers and improve vaccine distribution...”

Have you been able to get a CoupFlu shot from primary care providers there?

Just curious.

nusual era that - for all intents and purposes - ended with one or two vaccination shots earlier this year.

These people are weird. PennLive is a Marxist rag. Who in the right minds thinks in terms of one or two vaccination shots?

It's about time it is over.

Were?

Still are.

I was in a PA grocery store about noontime. NO mask signage on the doors whatsoever.

About half of the women shoppers were sill face-diapering (bet they're ugly!) and only about 10% of the men.

What are they going to do on June 28 when the mask order expires?

the measures passed Thursday do leave most of the nearly 500 regulatory changes taken under Wolf’s original and renewed disaster declarations intact through September.

So they did something that amounted to nothing.

True. They are still wearing masks.

But for Democrats it isn’t necessarily compliance - they are actually proud to wear the diapers - they think it proves they are the party of science.

It’s different with Conservatives - we wore a mask when we had to - a store has the right to require anything they want as far as I’m concerned. So I wore one in the store and hated every minute of it - now that is compliance (and I’m not proud of it).

I wished other people like me would rebel but it’s not in our nature to make waves. We are conservative.

Now, I did tear it off as I’m walking out the door. And “forgot” to wear it or pulled it down so I could breath. I had to be reminded a lot.

I think with the liberals it’s it really compliance - they want to wear them - the mask is a political statement like having a Biden bumper sticker. They wear them in their cars and at home!

But you are right I did notice it’s much worse with women.

Data is about 9 months old but little seems to have changed

The next order of business for the Legislative majorities is to bring murder charges against Wolf for forcing nursing homes to take Covid cases.

Interesting.

A few comments:

There should have been a category: “Wear a mask and socially distance only when the owners of an establishment require it for admission”. I think respecting the owner’s rules when on private property is a conservative value.

Also, the one about avoiding public places was potentially misleading: I avoided public places because I’d have to wear a mask - not because I was worried about covid!

The Constitutional amendments passed by statewide ballot referendums (THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!) on May 18 now give the General Assembly the authority TO END a governor’s emergency declaration with a simple majority vote.

“For many Pennsylvanians, the legislative votes simply put a political stamp on an unusual era that - for all intents and purposes - ended with one or two vaccination shots earlier this year. Even Gov. Tom Wolf, the architect of the prolonged disaster regimen, stood down all the broad public health restrictions but for certain masking mandates effective with Memorial Day. “


Pennlive putting a pro-Wolf spin on this. They may as well be his press agent.

Me too. It pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the fate of this republic when even freepers were cheering on the nanny state. (some still are).
