Philadelphia will mandate indoor masking on April 18, the city’s health department announced Monday.
“The Philadelphia Department of Public Health established a benchmark system in February that uses case counts, hospitalizations, and the increase in case rates to determine which safety strategies are needed,” The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. “The seven day daily average of cases, 142 as of April 8, and a 60% increase in case counts over the past 10 days met the standards to reintroduce the indoor mask mandate.”

“If we fail to act now, knowing that every previous wave of infections has been followed by a wave of hospitalizations and a wave of deaths, it’ll be too late for many of our residents,” she said, the paper reported. She said during a press conference that 750 city residents died during the Omicron wave over the winter.
“We don’t know if the BA.2 variant in Philadelphia will have the kind of impact on hospitalizations and deaths that we saw with the original omicron variant this winter,” Bettigole said. “I suspect that this wave will be smaller than the one we saw in January. This is our chance to get ahead of the pandemic, to put our masks on until we have more information on the severity of this variant.”

You mean the masks that made no difference as FL had a lower deaths per 100k than CA, NJ or NY.
It’s a little early for the mandatory mail in ballot variant, they should have waited to release it until July or August. People will be really burnt out by November if they do this too early.
Just build a huge wall around it and then flood it.
New Jersey, Philadelphia is yours. Take it, no charge.
Welcome to Philadelphia, an All Leftist City. Please set your watches to Moscow, 1960. You Will enjoy your day, comrad.
So they say they had approx 1,400 cases over 10 days, in a city of ~1,604,000 people or a ~0.087% positivity rate.
If you need any more proof they will never give it up, this is it. I’ve been to Philly. With Coof madness and crime, I see no need to go back.
Pitiful.
Can we build a wall around it? Let them figure out all the pesky details like food, water, etc.
It is easy to pick who to be friends with and where to live for the foreseeable future {pick a new home/second res}...
Just in time for summer....madness
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Total waste of time. Remember in November.
Retards.
DO NOT FORGET what they’ve done to you. Do not let their sudden realization they are in bad shape politically excuse the last
two-plus years of abuses.
They shut down your job.
Called many of you “non-essential.”
Closed your kids’ schools.
Expected you to live off $1200 for months while they got richer and richer.
Denied you the ability to be with your dying loved ones.
Then denied you the ability to give those loved ones a proper funeral.
While they let George Floyd have three.
While they went on vacation. Visited family. The hair salon.
They arrested you for paddle boarding by yourself.
They shut down the parks and the playgrounds.
They called you a grandma killer if you questioned them.
Suspended you from social media if you didn’t obey the narrative.
They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility bills.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.
Do not forget what they have done. Do not forgive them. They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmare
of the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best thr Biden administration can do is free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the 2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose
their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us. Project. Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).
DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in perpetuity. Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a
“public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.
NEVER FORGET.
Excellent truth rant 👏🏻👏🏻
Not original with me...first saw it posted by FReeper “Day10”
Thanks.
That is definitely a rant worth saving.
Not merely worth saving...worth spreading in many venues.
