Trump’s well-documented mismanagement helped sicken over 30 million Americans and killed over a half million people. Statewide, Pennsylvania had 1,045,400 reported cases of coronavirus since the start of the pandemic with 25,200 deaths. We must learn lessons from the mishandling of the COVID health emergency.
Trump and sycophantic followers took masks, social distancing, and other emergency measures from the realm of prudent healthcare measures to a rebellious macho-political statement. In the face of a raging pandemic, MAGA governors ignored CDC guidance. They derailed responsible science-based community actions causing the U. S. to lead the world in unnecessary deaths. A self-defeating checkerboard of inadequate and inconsistent responses across America overwhelmed many hospitals and funeral homes and exasperated health experts’ efforts to conta

Peiffer is a Democrat, but her concerns are also shared by Pennsylvania Republican voters.
Diane Hilbert, a 78-year-old retired state worker and Republican in Annville, Lebanon County, has spent an entire day at times trying to find vaccines for herself and her 81-year-old husband.
She s called chain pharmacies and private pharmacies alike and Hilbert has reached a conclusion: Trying to get shots is a futile effort.
Hilbert blames Wolf, a Democrat from York County, for the vaccine rollout in Pennsylvania.
Wolf has blamed the Trump administration overpromised on the federal vaccine supply. The governor has also appeared to own some of the blame for Pennsylvania s slow vaccine distribution.
Nancy Peiffer tries to assemble her words.
She s battling Parkinson s Disease, the frustration of being unable to find a COVID-19 vaccine and nearly a year of separation from her daughters who live in Florida.
An ongoing pandemic and partisan rancor are wearing her down. This isn t the United States I grew up in, she said on the phone last week through tears. It just isn t.
The Jonestown, Lebanon County, resident never imagined at 85 that she would have to think about politics so much or a virus that has yet to be tamed.
Peiffer is worried a worsening partisan divide is getting in the way of important work that needs to be done.

A proposed state constitutional amendment allowing lawsuits for otherwise outdated claims was not advertised as required and so cannot appear on the ballot this spring, the Wolf administration disclosed.The Pennsylvania Department of State in a news release called it “simple human error and apologized, saying the mistake was discovered late last week. As a result, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar is leaving her job, and both the inspector general and the Legislature will be looking into the matter.“The delay caused by this human error will be heartbreaking for thousands of survivors of childhood sexual assaul
