The Pennsylvania governor tested positive for Covid some days ago, as yet luckily not experiencing any symptoms.
Cases have been spiking after our Thanksgiving holiday where many people disregarded precautions and traveled and congregated. Advanced medical treatment is nearing capacity.
A new partial lockdown went into effect tonight at midnight, hereby banning indoor dining and workout gyms (and some other stuff?).
There is predictable resistance from those who refused to heed precautions and distance thus far, who now use the results of their failure to take precautions as proof that precautions don't work.
Meanwhile we have a secessionist movement brewing and ongoing attempt to overthrow our election.
I just saw this post pop up on facebook. How far will they take it?

From the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office :
STATEMENT
Our hearts and prayers are with those who have suffered the loss of someone due to the Covid-19 virus. Likewise, our hearts and prayers go out to those who have suffered financially from the quarantine orders.
When taking a drastic step such as a quarantine, there must be a balance between public safety, as directed by the government, and the rights of the people. An action of the government, such as a quarantine, that takes decision making away from the individual, should be extremely rare and limited.
Our United States Constitution, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, recognize individual freedom and liberties, and weigh heavily in favor of the rights of the individual citizen. In recognition of this, our Office will stand in defense of the individual rights of all citizens. Our Office will not be enforcing any edicts from the Governor’s Office as it relates to the Covid -19 pandemic. We are a government for the people, by the people.
We believe that each person should exercise and bear personal responsibility in the best interests of themselves, their families, friends, and employees, and it is they, not the centralized government, who should make those decisions.
May God Bless the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and each one of you.
Sheriff Chris Leppler
