This is becoming a battle of the Pandemics:

Pandemic of the Unvaccinated vs
Pandemic of the Vaccinated

Well it’s pretty obvious that the covid virus was spreading when initially began. I’m not certain when it became a political matter but it definitely did...and is now. Just seems to me certain Governors decided to take huge advantage for monetary gain for their states, and everyone saw this early on. And they appear to want the country in crisis mode 24/7 now.

In our hospital here there are still just two in the hospital. Wolf of course is going to. fudge the numbers and fail to say the Pa. increases are in Philadelphia.
