New restrictions on public life in Pennsylvania will take effect this week, including a one-night shutdown on alcohol sales Wednesday evening, as COVID-19 cases continue to increase in the state.

Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine announced the new restrictions and recommendations as she said "transmission of COVID-19 is reaching new heights."

Among those restrictions will be a temporary shutdown of all alcohol sales on Thanksgiving Eve, which is traditionally a night that many people return to their hometowns and go out drinking with childhood friends.

Rachel Levine -— it wishes it was a cvnt.

hey really reached another low with this one...let’s see how much more they can twist the screw before people explode....not that I go out like that anymore (busy cooking) but it was always the most fun night.

"The biggest day for drinking is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving," Gov. Wolf said at the same press conference. "When people get together in that situation, it leads to an exchange in fluids which leads to an increase in infections."

Hmmm

[frogjerk]

Just change it to Tuesday night. It’s not like anyone is actually going into work.

One business ignoring — completely ignoring — this freak bureaucrat is noble ... but a couple hundred or a thousand businesses doing it means: What are you going to do about it, Mr/Ms/whatever-the-hell-you-are unelected bureaucrat?!

Case fatality still around 3% which only speaks to the presence of Covid-19 and the accounting of those tested.

[JonPreston]

Since small business owners aren’t standing up, and asking that we stand with them, I no longer care what these bureaucrats do. If they go out of business because a man in a dress tells them to close, the consequences are on them.

When are our RINO legislators going to destroy Levine on every single level. Transgenders are not a protected class. They are amoral. They are mentally defective. They are incapable of making rational decisions as evidence in cutting off their penises and testicles. Levine's previous decisions murdered thousand of seniors when Levine knew full well the consequences as he pulled his own mother out of a senior facility. Levine in every decision has acted unconstitutionally. You want to know why they don't want people to gather on Thanksgiving eve, or Thanksgiving day? You want to know why they don't want people entering PA from other states? It is to stop free speech so people do not share election fraud news.

These bastards need to swing.

[ConservativeInPA]

Where do you get your stats? 3%? BULL SCHIFF.

[ScholarWarrior]

Kindred spirit.

[sanjuanbob]

Exactly right...there are underground bars and restaurants in every city. Seek and you will find.
It really feels good to frequent these places. The employees also make good tips....and the guy sitting beside you just may be one of the city’s finest! Make sure your cars are social distanced lol.

[moovova]

That’s hilarious. There are probably more bars in Philly than registered voters. Phillyians ain’t gonna be happy.

[Sir_Humphrey]

This is profoundly stupid.

People will just bring their party to their house. Do you think the police in Philly will really go around and breaking up parties in people homes?

[Gene Eric]

Okay, then what percentage do you believe the case mortality to be?

[ConservativeInPA]

It’s closer to 1%, but you threw out the 3% figure. Prove that correct or you’ll be label China Plague concern troll and general Fearper. Put up or shut up.
