Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has repeatedly told residents his administration’s response to COVID-19 has been driven entirely by science and data.

But Illinoisans just saw a glaring example of the politics of pandemic, with one area of the state being treated one way for hitting an 8% positive test rate and another area being treated much differently – twice.

On Aug. 18 Pritzker imposed new restrictions in the Metro East region as Bond, Clinton, Madison, Monroe, Randolph, St. Clair and Washington counties exceeded an 8% positive test result rate for three days running. Indoor dining and bar service were still allowed, but the state imposed other restrictions such as 11 p.m. closing times, no standing at the bar and a reservation requirement.

How many of the “positives” are infectious?

How many of the tests are false positives?

Gee whiz...this is a scam.

Meanwhile, he’s directing zillion$ (much of it his own) in campaigns lecturing us about mask-wearing and fair-taxing.
