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.

This guy is going to make people want Blago back.
WTH?????

What an idiot.

What about places with drive though windows?

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.
Democrats never fail to try and kill small businesses do they? SOB should be recalled now.
This just gets more entertaining by the day.
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.
And the people delivering the food? And the staff that prepares it?
Pritzker also urged people not to hoard food.
++++++++++
Considering the source, that made me chuckle.

Yep. The overreach is beginning. People will not tolerate this.
Yep ....
krap!
