Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker will order all Illinois bars and restaurants to close their dine-in operations at the end of the business day on Monday.

“We are working with restaurant owners and food delivery services across the state to see if restaurants can safely keep their kitchens open, so the restaurants can continue food delivery to people at their homes,” Pritzker said at a news conference Sunday at the Thompson Center in the Loop.

“The time for persuasion and public appeals is over. The time for action is here. This is not a joke. No one is immune to this, and you have an obligation to act in the best interests of all the people of this state.”

Pritzker also urged people not to hoard food.

Earlier Sunday, Pritzker had said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he had been considering such a step.

The inner dictator emerges! Pritzker continues hyping panic by relying upon DNC talking points. Public health is secondary to scoring cheap political points.

Bars can only sell customers “one for the road”? That will cut down on business a lot.

We know two restaurant owners who are going to tell Fat Boy to GFH. They’ve already talked to their attorneys.

I wonder why they have so few cases in Illinois, considering some of the first cases were there? The 2nd known US case was in IL.

The thing is, this stuff isn’t just for a few days. It could be years. Who’s going to give the all clear. People aren’t going to be able to stay in for very long.
