Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday she expects Gov. J.B. Pritzker to extend the statewide stay-at-home order designed to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.

April 30 is “no longer a viable date” for that order to be lifted, Lightfoot said.

“I would expect an extension of the stay at home order … through sometime in May,” Lightfoot said.

The order could also be extended into June, Lightfoot said.

F you commie pos. what are you going to do when we riot?

[Herodes]

People in Illinois and Chicago are getting exactly what they voted for.

No sorrow for them at all.

[CatOwner]

What good will rioting do when it will be against other citizens and businesses and not the politicians & leaders themselves?

[cdga5for4]

Pritzker taking orders from the mayor now?

[babble-on]

Chicago has people dying in great numbers.

[dforest]

Yeah, they do every say of the year.

[TalBlack]

They keep pushing it back. It’s pure madness. I can’t imagine what these damned asses are thinking.

All I can say is that if my business goes down, as it may very well do, I will have nothing but time on my hands to devote to the God-Damned political liars who are behind this make believe crisis.

[fortheDeclaration]

Destroying peoples lives! There is going to be civil disobedience to these unnecessary shut downs.

[fortheDeclaration]

The losses are not enough to justify this overreaction.

[RatRipper]

I wonder if there will be a “Chicago Wall” like in Berlin to keep you guys in???

[rightwingcrazy]

May of what year?

[RetiredTexasVet]

At some point the unwashed masses will just ignore them like most of the criminal element has, does and will.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Wonder if the word will get out to South Shitcago!

Partner, u r exactly correct.

The people in Chicago will not know what in the world they need to do since this will be another Depression and not a recession.

The DemonRat party has brought this to our country and the DemonRat does not have any solutions on how to get us out of this mess.

Fauci and Birx r very highly paid gov'mint employees and they r dumb and dumber. We should never trust folks like these two (2) folks. We r paying both of these jokers over $1 million dollars in salary and we pay them thru our tax dollars this amount.

Also, the MSM keeps going with this stay at home business yet we are hearing that the Flu season this year is a lot worse than this virus.

The MSM which is really a bunch of "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Insane Political Journalists" and they side with the DemonRat party all the time since about 96% of the MSM voted with the DemonRat party plus they hate and r insane folks against President Trump.

[Boogieman]

Meh, I don’t think it really matters what she and the guvner say, people are sick of staying home and are already starting to ignore the order.

[madprof98]

If the folks in Chicago-land are like the people here in Atlanta, they will be DELIGHTED to stay locked down, perhaps eternally. The pushback against Governor Kemp’s decision to lift the lockdown is incessant and growing: “He’s trying to kill us! He’s no doctor! He only cares about money!” and (best of all) “He’s a racist who wants all the black people to go back to work and die!”

[Boogieman]

No, that’s ridiculous.

They both take orders from Madigan.

[freedom1st]

Need to make sure a stake is pounded through the economy. Can't afford to let economy come back in time to reelect Trump. Illinois' Governor and Chicago's Mayor sux.
