The Awful Humans At Crack'd Egg

Posted by

We'll start here:

While this attempt at death-cult humor isn't at their website, it is posted at their Facebook page yesterday. It's there. They own it. And they'll own it for ever.

What awful human beings these people are. 

Remember these are the same people who cheered for the virus, adding:

Covid has been a blessing for me.

But first, what's the latest on the restaurant?

There's this from The Trib:

A Pennsylvania appellate court ruled in favor of the Allegheny County Health Department on Friday, finding that the forced closure of the Crack’d Egg restaurant in Brentwood was appropriate given its owner’s refusal to follow covid-19 mitigation measures.

The decision has no practical effect because Gov. Tom Wolf lifted safety protocols, including the mask mandate, at the end of June.

And:

The lengthy court battle for the Crack’d Egg began in August when the county health department ordered it to close after multiple complaints that its owner, Kimberly Waigand, was not following covid-19 mitigation measures, including masking and social distancing.

Despite the orders, the restaurant continued to operate until Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge John McVay granted a request for a preliminary injunction by the county in February following a three-day hearing.

McVay heard testimony from the county health department director and others who said that masks substantially decrease the risk of infection.

Waigand testified during the hearing that she would never require masks at her restaurant, calling them — and the emergency measures through which the Wolf administration implemented them — unconstitutional.

McVay was not swayed.

“If I did not grant the injunction, restaurants that are following the rules will become less likely to do so and thus further increasing public health risks to everyone involved and possibly increasing overall community spread,” McVay wrote in his decision.

Waigand appealed to the state Commonwealth Court, which heard arguments in June.

In its 34-page opinion, the Commonwealth Court found that the restaurant was unable to prove that the lower court’s opinion on the motion for preliminary injunction was in error.

 And finally:

Further, the court found that Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court has already upheld the implementation of the emergency code as a valid exercise of police power.

Now let's take a look at the restaurant's death-cult humor:

In the "Commie Specials" section we read:

Delta Waffle - Perfect Comfort Food

This is a reference to the Delta Variant of the Covid-19 virus. This is what the CDC says about Delta (to Waigand "comfort food"):

  • The Delta variant is more contagious: The Delta variant is highly contagious, more than 2x as contagious as previous variants.
  • Some data suggest the Delta variant might cause more severe illness than previous strains in unvaccinated persons. In two different studies from Canada and Scotland, patients infected with the Delta variant were more likely to be hospitalized than patients infected with Alpha or the original virus strains.
  • Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others. However, vaccinated people appear to be infectious for a shorter period: Previous variants typically produced less virus in the body of infected fully vaccinated people (breakthrough infections) than in unvaccinated people. In contrast, the Delta variant seems to produce the same high amount of virus in both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people. However, like other variants, the amount of virus produced by Delta breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people also goes down faster than infections in unvaccinated people. This means fully vaccinated people are likely infectious for less time than unvaccinated people.

The New York Times reported on August 1:

The highly infectious Delta variant now accounts for an estimated 83 percent of new coronavirus cases in the United States — a “dramatic increase” from early July, when it crossed the 50 percent threshold to become the dominant variant in this country, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.

In some regions, the percentage is even higher — particularly where vaccination rates are low, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the C.D.C. director, said during a Senate health committee hearing.

They've even tweeted it:

Evidently this is funny to them. A variant of a virus that's killed hundreds of Americans and infected tens of thousands and yet to Kim Weigand of the Crack'd Egg (412 881-3000, if you wish to discuss this with her), it's their "perfect comfort food."

What a horrible horrible person this is.
