Did ya hear? Philly’s masking up … again. Seriously.
When I tell this to others who live elsewhere they think I’m joking. But it’s no joke. On Monday, April 11, the Philadelphia Department of Health, with Mayor Jim Kenney’s approval, said it would require masks to be worn inside public places starting April 18. That includes thousands of small retailers and restaurants still reeling from the pandemic recession, high inflation and lack of labor.
It’s no matter that the city averaged 8.7 new cases per day per 100,000 residents over the past seven days, representing 139 total new cases in a city with a population of 1.6 million people. Or that, according to the latest numbers, the daily average hospitalizations are 127, below our city’s health care capacity. And how many actual average deaths were most recently recorded? Two!
So now the city is saying, mask up! Are masks that effective? Even the CDC questions the most commonly used cloth ones. And despite the “crisis,” we can wait a week until the new policy goes into effect. Why?
“We want to give people the time to prepare,” the city’s health commissioner said. As if everyone can’t buy new masks.

Even Dr. Oz will attract city votes. He’ll have the rural(gop) votes.
Philly is more black than white now. There will never be a Republican politician in Philly ever again.
Demographics is destiny.
I have a family obligation in Flourtown next week. I’m looking forward to my return trip home. 1,200 miles ain’t enough distance.
Rizzoli was a Democrat. Thatcher Lingstreth was a republican. I’ll take Rizzo over Longstreth any day. But that was back when we had democrats with principles.
You know those days of that type of Democrat are over.
Philly is an absolute toilet.
We set our murder record last year, so there’s that.
Worldwide, Covid cases and deaths are still dropping. In the US, cases have dropped more than 2,000% (not 200%, 2,000%, from about 810,000 a day to about 35,000 a day) since mid-January.
Mittens RINOmney will travel to Philadelphia to vouch for the mayor and also recommend masking up in three, two. one...
Thatcher Longstretch is a perfect Republican name. I’d use Rodney Dangerfield as my choice for him.
“Demographics is destiny.”
As will be failure.
Absolutely.
A Soros DA in a mostly black city...
I do miss Irv Homer, Jim O'Brian, and Harvey in the Morning. Wawa too. But that's about it.
I have seen Bernette signs In West Philly!
Wawa is the best.
I've lived all around the country. Nothing compares to Wawa.
When I was a field service engineer our regional meetings were held in a Wawa parking lot over coffee and a bagel and the trunk lids of our cars while we turned in paperwork to the boss.
Lots of steel toe boots and Carhartts in the store in the early a.m.
So Philly is out trying to attract trade shows back to the Convention Center - most sane people are saying no way - but the Black Expo and Penn Diversity Festival is signed up for their events.
