By the numbers: – 32,000 boxes of food are packed by @PhillyCLIP and volunteers each week. – 471,600 boxes have been distributed at City-supported food sites, not including student or senior sites. – 5 million meals have been served to students at more than 80 locations. https://t.co/U4ffqmOCYA — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

This continued effort is a partnership with community-based food sites, as well as @Philabundance and @sharefoodphilly. Our other meal services will also continue. That includes student meals, outdoor meals, senior meals, and meal delivery to people with disabilities. https://t.co/2A2ZpojvHE — PolitiTweet.org

I know that the people throwing these parties aren’t going to listen to me. But maybe they’ll listen to you. You can help by explaining the facts and the dangers. One night of partying is not worth the risks of infecting loved ones and community members. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the majority of teens and young adults who ARE wearing masks, avoiding parties, and being safe. Believe it or not, I was young once. I know that young people want to socialize. But in a pandemic, it takes is a few irresponsible folks to mess things up for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

It's been disheartening to see block parties and house parties with too many people in one area and very few masks. Those who attend these parties are endangering themselves, their families, and their communities. And they're endangering our ability to reopen safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Mixed news from last week: –Increased weekly case count: 122 cases/day. That's an increase from 108 cases/per day the week before, and similar to the 124 cases/day from the week before that. –Low positivity rate in test results: 4.0%. This could increase as we get more results. https://t.co/AAPj5cCS2U — PolitiTweet.org
