This writer grossly exaggerates the difference made by this change of stage along the path to rollback as complete as we will get.
Back to business: How will life be different under Gov. Wolf’s yellow phase?
As southwestern Pennsylvanians wake up today, the nightmare of shelter-in-place orders and sweeping business closures will be a cautionary memory.
So our long statewide nightmare is over? Really?
Gov. Tom Wolf last week promised to bump counties including Allegheny, Butler, Washington and 10 others into the “yellow phase” of his reopening plan on May 15, which eases social gathering guidelines and permits some businesses, including in-person retail, to reopen.
The yellow phase is something of a twilight zone, neither fully closed nor open.
On Friday, it’ll be OK to go outside if people continue to practice social distancing.
It’ll be OK to gather for weddings or funerals if there are fewer than 25 people.
It’ll be OK to go shopping, although stores may have reduced hours and occupancy.
And it’ll be OK to go to work if employers follow building safety protocols, although county and state leaders insist that those who can work from home continue to do so.
