Philadelphia becomes first major US city to reinstate indoor mask mandate

Doesn't really look like a city or state under crisis? Hospitalizations and deaths are both flat

If this is the mask mandate threshold, when is the lockdown and travel restriction threshold?

Philadelphia on Monday became the first major US city to reinstate its indoor mask mandate after reporting a sharp increase in coronavirus infections, with the city’s top health official saying she wanted to forestall a potential new wave driven by an Omicron sub-variant.

Confirmed Covid-19 cases had risen more than 50% in 10 days, the threshold at which the city’s guidelines called for people to wear masks indoors, said Dr Cheryl Bettigole, the Philadelphia health commissioner.

Health officials believe the recent wave is being driven by the highly transmissible BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron, which has spread rapidly throughout Europe and Asia and has become dominant in the US in recent weeks.

Got to stay home for the Memorable Holiday folks. Can't have people sharing the freedom of their happiness together.

home to the Liberty Bell, a historic icon of America’s freedom and independence. It is also home to Independence Hall, where the U.S Constitution was written and where the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Oh the irony ....good luck to you fine people of Philadelphia. Sorry they don't believe in freedom or independence anymore....


Thanks!

It's ironic that several U.S. colleges are run by Administrators who are some of the DUMBEST people in America.

Many College students are being forced to once again wear masks, with administrators saying the masks will save lives, but not explaining how.

But it's OK if the students binge on Vodka, Hamburgers, and Red Bulls.
