While #CovidKim is busily pretending the pandemic is gone

Our neighbors to the north have a Governor who is doing his fucking job.

According to News Talk 830 WCCO Political Analyst Blois Olson Governor Tim Walz is set to announce that he is placing the state of Minnesota under a mandatory mask mandate.

During "The Morning Take" on The Morning News with Dave Lee, Olson said that Walz will announce the mandate at his 2 p.m. news conference Wednesday afternoon. Olson believes the mandate will go into effect starting this Friday, or on Monday, July 27.
