Irony of ironies: Governor Tom Wolf (D-PA) caught the virus

Remember when President Trump tested positive for COVID-19? He was criticized and outright mocked for his resistance to wearing a face mask.

So, what will the left say if a state Governor, one who instituted mandatory face mask orders, who closed down some sections of the economy and severely restricted others, always wore a mask in public, closed public schools, ordered testing on anyone entering the state, and pretty much instituted all of the restrictions that other Governors did, tested positive himself?

As a good Catholic, I am not allowed to ever wish COVID-19 on any person, and I will deny ever having done so. But there is a certain sense of schadenfreude when one of the tinpot dictators who think that they have the right to tell us how we have to live our lives, for our own good, don’t you know, to keep from getting the virus winds up getting it himself.

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has tested positive for COVID-19, his office announced Wednesday.

“I have no symptoms and am feeling well,” he said in a statement, adding that he and First Lady Frances Wolf, who is awaiting test results, are quarantining. The governor said he plans to continue working remotely, “as many are doing during the pandemic.”

Wolf was last seen in public during a Monday news conference with Health Secretary Rachel (sic) Levine,[1]Richard Levine, Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Health, is a male who is so mentally ill that he believes he is female, and goes by the name of “Rachel.” In accordance with The First … Continue reading where they both wore face masks, even while speaking.

There’s more at the original, but as Governor Tom Wolf (D-PA) and Mayor Jim Kenney (D-Philadelphia) have continually inflicted overbearing restrictions on people, on jobs, and on businesses, purportedly to help fight COVOD-19, the irony that Mr Wolf would contract it, with everybody around him masked up and socially distancing themselves, tells us something: the measures that have been imposed have not worked to the extent that they can justify what those restrictions have done to people economically and socially.
