Protesters demonstrate against coronavirus restrictions in Pennsylvania
By Rebecca Klar, April 20, 2020:
Protesters gathered in Harrisburg, Pa., on Monday to demonstrate against a statewide stay-at-home order put in place in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Video footage shows crowds gathering by the state capitol building, with only some wearing the recommended masks or face coverings.
Some of the protesters were holding flags supporting President Trump, and others were waving signs urging officials to “re-open PA.”
Protesters were also driving cars through the rally honking horns in support of the demonstration and waving signs.
The demonstration is organized by three groups, “Re-open Pennsylvania,” “End the Lockdown Pennsylvania,” and “Pennsylvania Against Excessive Quarantine,” a local ABC News affiliate reported.
An “Operation Gridlock Pennsylvania” event is scheduled to begin at noon by a Facebook group called “Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine” that has nearly 67,000 members. The group was created by Chris Dorr, an Ohio gun activist, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Pennsylvania officials warned against the planned protest last week.
“If you come to Harrisburg and you’re not practicing social distancing, then you are putting all of yourselves at risk,” Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania’s health secretary, said Thursday, the Inquirer noted. “So if a gathering like that happens and they’re not practicing social distancing … then they will be more at risk for contracting the dangerous virus.”
Pennsylvania, like nearly every other state, has a stay-at-home order in place to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
Gov. Tom Wolf (D) laid out a plan last week for reopening the state’s economy, but he did not offer a timetable for taking measures to lift restrictions.
Pennsylvania reported 32,991 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 1,276 deaths as of Monday, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Demonstrations against coronavirus restrictions have broken out in several states across the country since last week.
Trump last week defended protests defying social distancing guidelines. At a Friday White House briefing, he said that he felt some state orders were “too tough.” Trump also tweeted support for protests in Minnesota, Michigan and Virginia, calling to “LIBERATE” the three states.

You don’t have the right to spread a highly contagious and deadly disease. That is not the issue here. The mitigation efforts were important and necessary to prevent a lot more loss of life, and they worked.
What is notable here is that Democrats used a pandemic and the necessary mitigation efforts to advance a political agenda, and that is intolerable.

So you are all for annual face covers during the flu season then right? That is total communism with a DICKtator mindset! All a politician can do is “recommend” as the Constitution mandates the only way to make a law. Are you aware of that?

Where did you pull that out of? LOL
I didn’t say any such thing. You put words in my mouth.
Try reading my comment again and thinking about it. You’re throwing an accusation at me that’s either based on your imagination or lack of reading comprehension.

Your comment “You don’t have the right to spread a highly contagious and deadly disease.” You have NO clue whether any of these people have any disease or even the beervirus. You claimed that the recommendations from the government were needed. They aren’t. What needs to happen is IF people are SICK then they need to stay away. The issue with the demonstration above was people don’t appreciate shutting down the world because soem people may get sick. More peope get sick and die from the flu every year so you seem to be advocating that the government needs to tell everyone to wear a face mask and stay in your own homes. This whole thing was BS. And there is a Republican in the WH and control the Senate. There are many in the House that did nothing also.

I have a relative that is a doctor and another that is a nurse and they both say you are full of shiite.
40,000 dead in about a month, and you call that a hoax? You’re out of your freaking mind. Sociopath or psychopath?
Bye.

Exactly, this is communism in action. That’s why we need to vote for Republicans and conservatives. This would never happen under a Republican administration.

You are confusing the Feds for the States as usual. It’s the libturd dumocrap governors locking down the people NOT the Republicans in the WH and Senate. There did I blow up a tiny libturd brain cell since facts and truth have that affect on them?

Where is the paranoia on this?
The three leading causes of preventable deaths in the US:
about 480,000 Americans die from smoking (some from secondhand – I haven’t read that was PROVEN….),
300,000 die from obesity, and
88,000 die from alcohol, every single year.
(How about DRUG OVERDOSES due to unemployment and depression? How about VET and other SUICIDES due to unemployment and other reasons etc.? Don’t they matter?)

WARNING!
A highly OFFENSIVE FACT that may anger or disturb you!
How come “saving one life” doesn’t matter here?
Should I bother to mention ABORTION? More little human beings have died from an abortion than the holocaust! Don’t sweat it. DEM governors consider abortions to be LIFE saving essential bui$ne$$ during this shut down. Yes, taking the life of a little human being is now “life saving” and a right. It’s become so normalized people feel awkward speaking up about it except to endorse it.
