We just got more restrictions in PA and now mandated that restaurants and bars can only have 25% capacity now, down from 50%.  We are going backwards and businesses are suffering.  Don't mean to hijack your thread.  We are also facing fines and loss of business licenses for Non-Compliance. 

We are required to wear masks when we leave our homes, but I don't think they are fining or arresting people yet.  Mass is probably worse due to their Boston lunacy.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf announced new coronavirus restrictions Wednesday after an “unsettling” climb in new COVID-19 cases in the state over the past week, he said.

“If we don’t act now, medical experts are projecting that this new surge in cases could soon eclipse the peak in April,” he wrote on Twitter.

The new restrictions reduce indoor dining facilities to 25 percent capacity, mandate remote working whenever possible, and limit gatherings to less than 25 people indoors and fewer than 250 people outdoors. Bars are allowed to open for tabletop dining but not for bar service.

Wolf said they would go into effect Thursday.

 They have to.  After shuttering businesses and putting people on unemployment tax revenues go down (duh).   So why not go after the new "mandates" and impose fines?

 BTW, exactly what law are they using to fine people with?  Did the legislature convene and draft a new law that was passed and sent to the governor?   Or are they merely using another obscure law to justify their new found revenue enhancement?
