Pennsylvania Business Owners Push to Reopen

For those of you that don't know, I live in Pennsylvania. There's a lot going on here in PA right now, all of course related to the coronavirus.

Last week, Governor Tom Wolf extended the stay-at-home order to June 4 in parts of the state, while rural counties are allowed to reopen businesses to some degree.

But of course, Pennsylvania Republicans and some business owners disagree with Wolf, saying he's moving too slowly. Some businesses are opening up again despite the order.

Wolf threatened to withhold state and federal funding from counties "that put us all at risk by operating illegally."

Personally, I think businesses ought to follow the order and remain closed. I understand the need to make money and keep afloat, but at the same time, opening now puts consumers at risk.

Commander in Instigating Donald Trump added fuel to the flame, tweeting that Pennsylvanians want their freedom now.

Currently, Trump is visiting a medical supply facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
