Egged on by state GOP lawmakers, some counties have threatened to defy his orders while at least a few business owners have reopened their doors despite his warnings while others have backed down under the Democrat's threats to hold back COVID-19 funding.

 

Commissioners in the rogue GOP-controlled counties say they can manage the coronavirus threat and reopen safely. Wolf says moving too fast risks jeopardizing the progress Pennsylvania has made against a virus that has sickened some 59,000 and killed nearly 4,000 Pennsylvanians.
