PJ Media "In this unprecedented crisis brought to us by the lying Communists in China, the COVID-19 pandemic panic has gone too far. America's truckers, the people we rely on to restock our empty grocery shelves, are being treated like disease vectors and worse, they've been forgotten.
"The state of Pennsylvania thought it was a good idea to shut down all the rest stops where truckers sleep, including closing the bathrooms—until the trucking lobby caught the ear of the president. Thirteen rest stops have been reopened in Pennsylvania, but our truckers are being forced to use porta-Johns that are far dirtier than the public bathrooms. How is this helping?
"It's not just rest areas, but restaurants are closing their dining rooms, even in truck stops. Truckers can't go through drive-thrus. How are they supposed to eat while they are killing themselves to bring us toilet paper and fresh produce? Companies receiving the goods aren't even letting the drivers use their bathrooms.
"This has to stop, people. We owe our truckers more consideration than this. Read this thread from a trucker on Twitter and feel ashamed. Then call your representatives and tell them to do something about this. It begins, "TRUCKERS NEED YOUR HELP" and describes the terrible conditions they are faced with due to the WuFlu lockdown." . . .
UPDATE: PA Turnpike to reopen all 17 closed service plazas to support truckers amid COVID-19 crisis "The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has agreed to reopen all of service plazas that they shuttered earlier this week for Coronavirus.
