Political Cartoon: Philly funding for COVID-19 closures
Daily takes from Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Signe Wilkinson.
![Paying for COVID restrictions on gyms, museums, and restaurants.](https://www.inquirer.com/resizer/QJJCwNCzoHqMeYOObzsNECm1wjo=/760x507/smart/filters:format(webp)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/pmn/5S6JGHZUTVBQXELYSYQ3H7Q2QU.jpg)
On Monday, Philadelphia announced recommendations for closing down public gathering spaces to cut down on the spread of the coronavirus. While the beleaguered health care workers tending our ballooning COVID-19 caseload will be grateful, there is collateral damage. If you want a dose of beauty and color, check out your nail salon rather than art museums, which will be closed. If you want to go out to dinner, wear a parka and long underwear because it’s outdoors only. And if you want to exercise, forget the gym (it’s closed) and run up the Art Museum steps. You might leave a donation when you get to the top because many of their workers, like those at restaurants, bars, and gyms could use our support.
