Letter to the editor: Gov. Tom Wolf's actions are warranted

I find it hilarious that Don Walzack wrote in his letter “Gov. Wolf ignores citizens’ wishes” that the governor should abide by primarily Republican representatives’ call to drop his emergency declaration on enforcing public health safety rules for the pandemic.

Does Walczak not see the gradual decline of new cases and deaths from the coronavirus in Pennsylvania from the charts that are publicly available? Does he not see the strong resurgence of the coronavirus in states that had decided to reopen on Memorial Day or thereabouts? Does he not see that the charts show some states have registered new high points in coronavirus cases just this past week?

Does he not know how contagious this virus still is? Even if he does see, that’s OK. While Walczak complains about Gov. Tom Wolf and Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, it is through their actions that he is still alive and well to do so.
