HARRISBURG (AP) Four of Pennsylvania’s seven most heavily populated counties are airing their unhappiness over the size of their allotment of coronavirus vaccines, saying Monday that a meeting with Gov. Tom Wolf’s top health official did not resolve their concerns.
Leaders of Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties home to more than 2.5 million people called a Sunday meeting with acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam “disappointing and frustrating.”
They say less-populated counties in Pennsylvania have received disproportionately bigger allotments of the two-shot Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and that their smaller-than-expected allotments have led to long waiting lists, cancellation of second-dose appointments and frustration and anger among residents.

Into something broader and bigger than those of us between Port Fishington and the Devil’s Pocket usually account for: Pennsylvania.

Yup. Not since Milton Shapp have I wanted to psychically nose tweak a sitting governor (or a standing one for that matter) for the multitude of stupid things they execute on a regular basis (and yes, this includes sinister Tom Corbett’s way-too-close proximity to Penn State and all cloistered things Sandusky). Yes. Wolf, like Philly’s boss Jim Kenney, has made a fucking mess out of the pandemic, from who gets the vaccine first,

HARRISBURG (AP) A federal judge in Pennsylvania has rejected a bid to block one of Gov. Tom Wolf’s latest orders to try to stem the spread of the coronavirus, a three-week shutdown of indoor dining at restaurants through Jan. 4, as Wolf went to court to sue restaurants defying the order.
The action in court came Wednesday, as a growing number of restaurants defy Wolf’s shutdown order, and being cited or ordered closed for it.
The state Department of Agriculture ordered 40 restaurants to close last week for violating pandemic-related orders, while Wolf’s Department of Health sued 22 in the statewide Commonwealth Court that had defied orders to close indoor dining and maintain social-distancing protocols.
