Forum Moderator  User ID: 82680059  United States04/22/2022 07:34 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Philadelphia will end its COVID-19 indoor mask mandate less than a week after reinstating it, city health officials said Thursday night. The Board of Health voted Thursday to rescind the mandate, according to the city's health department. The department cited "decreasing hospitalizations and a leveling of case counts" of COVID-19 in a statement, the Associated Press reported. The department did not release data to justify the abrupt reversal Thursday, rather stating that more information will be provided Friday. Philadelphia had been the first major U.S. city to reinstate its indoor mask mandate, but it faced fierce blowblack, in addition to a legal challenge.

Credibility of these "decision makers" was destroyed long ago and I doubt they'll ever recover it.

Quoting: Rando Calrissian They didn't want the legal battle, that way they can try to reinstate it at a later date. If a judge made a ruling against it, they couldn't do it again... |

I saw a guy driving by himself wearing an N-95 mask in his car leaving a Wawa this morning in southeast Chester county. Unbelievable. Hopefully, he's dutifully getting all of his boosters. |
