With the entire nation - even mentally-challenged, nanny-state fanatics - having more or less moved on from the two-year covid scourge and even Fauci barely making hourly TV appearances, the liberal bastion that is Philadelphia just reminded us that covid will never be truly gone as long as the specter of harvested mail-in balloting is around, and today, with seven months left to go until the midterms - the city of brotherly mugging announced it will once again be under an indoor mask mandate.

The Department of Public Health made the announcement on Monday afternoon during a press briefing.

Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole said mask precautions begin Monday, but in order to provide a one-week education period for businesses, masks will be required in all indoor public spaces as of Monday, April 18. Starting April 18, masks will be required in all indoor public spaces, including schools and child care settings, businesses, restaurants, and government buildings.

At that time, residents will be asked to report any business not complying with the mandate to 311.
