Philadelphia is bringing back mask mandates, for some reason

Total hysterical, knee-jerk move. I plan on going to Philly in May to celebrate my niece's graduation from college. We're going out to dinner and I (vaccinated and boosted) will not comply with any mask mandate to protect those who aren't.

This response is totally unnecessary and capricious.

Wow, you are so tough and cool. Maybe you'll even infect your server so they'll have to take unpaid leave from work. Show the world how smart you are!

Actually, it's based on metrics laid out a couple months ago.

It's not based on CDC metrics, it's based on total hysteria and their own "metrics"

At their own risk. The midterms are coming.

Some city leaders actually want to help the lives of Black and Brown residents. Shocking, I know

Those residents probably won’t be helped in PA goes red. Lots of people in the middle in PA who do not like covid restrictions.

Which cities in the middle of PA are reinstating mask mandates? Name one.

NP here but this is such an absurd response and why people don’t take these mandates seriously anymore. The server is free to wear a well fitting, effective mask. Then OP will not in fact infect them. And guess what? Even with a mask mandate people sit and eat and drink without masks in restaurants. It’s the dumbest thing ever to wear a mask to walk to your table. Such Covid theater. And getting embarrassing for democrats.

Right- if this came back in MoCo or DC, annoying but whatever. Not likely to move the political needle. But this kind of stuff matters in a state like PA.

I live in Philly, which is deep blue politically. The suburbs are not affected by this change. It's hard to say if it'll have a political impact, maybe, maybe not.

I'm very curious to see if Philly diverges from other large East Coast cities in (admittedly unreliable) case counts after the mask mandate takes effect on Monday, assuming those cities don't reinstitute mandates too. Will be an interesting experiment.

No one will study this. And even if they did, no one would accept the results, regardless of whatever they were.

Not schools or for kids. Can we listen to the WHO on this one, since no one likes the CDC?

It will absolutely be used as ammunition in statewide elections- fear mongering that if you elect democrats they will reinstate mask mandates and other restrictions. Are a lot of voters stupid for fall for this stuff? Of course. But we all saw what happened in VA. But keep you heads in the sand, just don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Lmao, why would we start listening to The WHO after 2 years of ignoring them? Not that I don’t agree with you. But parents seem to be back voluntarily masking their kids at our school anyway (sone never stopped of course but I’ve noticed an uptick again).

Those areas are already red and Philly is blue. I live in a blue area outside Pittsburgh, but, it’s very very lightly blue and could tip and most of the voters could go either way. We had very close school board elections in the fall and the main talking points were covid restrictions. I don’t think it’s a stretch for people to look at the liberals making up their own guidelines in Philly and worry that the same could happen elsewhere.

Well people don’t have to be stupids who “fall for it,” when Philadelphia democrats are actually doing it. Case rates are right now some of the lowest seen in Philadelphia, requiring masks now really starts to look like it will be forever.

Is that statement at all evidence-based? Because it is wildly risky to say that following CDC guidance is racist.

REad what the Philly Health Commissioner had to say. Also, Black and Brown people overwhelmingly approve of mask mandates and have been disproportionately impacted by this pandemic. It's wildly racist to not acknowledge that

Mask mandates aren't restrictions. I am not clear how it's a restriction. Again, majority of Black and Brown people WANT mask mandates. but I guess that's inconvenient for you? You/d rather have your BLM decal and not actually have to do anything

You are right, it is shocking to say something so utterly stupid.
