As the U.S. death toll in the coronavirus outbreak surpasses 85,000, Republican lawmakers are pushing Democratic governors to quickly ease restrictions.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, whose state has lost more than 4,200 people from COVID-19, has faced growing resistance from Republican legislators as well as county commissioners in the central and eastern part of the state.“We’re trying to get things moving in a safe and responsible manner because this thing is turning into a pressure cooker,” said Republican state Rep. Dan Moul from conservative Adams County. “This thing is going to blow up if [Wolf] doesn’t make a move soon.
The rest of the state, however, remains under Wolf’s “red” phase, in which stay-at-home orders are still in place, large gatherings prohibited and restaurants and bars only permitted to do carry-out and delivery.“We’re all fighting this war together. We can’t run up the white flag,” Wolf told WGAL News on Thursday. “We have got to fight this to the end and make sure that we’re going everything we can to keep people safe. Again, I don’t think that the Commonwealth has been unreasonable.
Trump, who had tweeted Monday that Pennsylvanians “want their freedom now,” took a tour at a medical supply facility near Allentown on Thursday. He spoke about ramping up production on PPE equipment. Images showed him surrounded by people wearing masks. The president has said he will not wear one, explaining “it’s not for me.”“We have to get your governor of Pennsylvania to start opening up a little bit,” Trump said during the tour.
