At least that is the impression I get. Pennsylvania was doing fairly well, thanks to the policies adopted by the Wolf Administration. We were locked down, we re-opened in an orderly fashion, and we flattened the curve compared to states like Texas and Florida.
After what I saw on Memorial Day weekend (people not wearing masks, people crowded together), I am not surprised we are seeing an uptick in virus cases, but that is the fault of stupidity, not the Wolf administration.
So what do the Republicans in the state legislature want? They want to allow counties to end Wolf’s restrictions and allow the counties to determine which businesses remain open. They would also give themselves the power to end a disaster emergency after 21 days. Evidently they think guys like Heffley and Yudichak know more about emergencies than doctors and scientists.
It is a typical Republican response. If Democrats have a policy that works, wreck it. Lives are not important. Partisanship is. We see it at the national level, and now, unfortunately, at the state level as well.
