Just as highly important information on antibody testing has started to come in, Governor JB Pritzker announced Friday that he will de-prioritize that testing. He is withholding results collected so far in Illinois. His full comments are reproduced below.
That’s indefensible and opposite of what other states are doing. It’s another case of Pritzker’s stage managing the facts and expecting the public to trust him blindly.
Why would Pritzker want to cover up the data? Maybe he thinks it’s his place to take in upon himself to protect individuals from their own misuse of the testing. On the other hand, if results here are consistent with New York, Florida, other states and what those Stanford researchers say, projections would undoubtedly be far rosier and Pritzker’s recent extension of stay-at-home rules would become more controversial.
I’d like to tell you to decide for yourself about how much to make of the new antibody test results for Illinois; I am not trying to make that call for you. But we can’t decide for ourselves because Pritzker is covering up the facts. He won’t release the data and now he will cut back on the testing.
That’s indefensible. Illinois should be collecting and publishing antibody test results just as other states are.
Scrubbing hands is good. But scrubbing key data is an abuse of power.

I fear that the Governor to the North of Illinois is following Prickster’s lead.
You dumb Ilinoiians who elected this PIG...this STUPID PIG...you deserve each other!
As another poster said, they will open Thanksgiving 2020 if Trump loses, Thanksgiving 2024 if Trump wins.
Because he wants to spread out the lockdown for as long as possible hoping he can place blame on President Trump.
The rats will do anything to defeat President Trump.
This benefits his Marxist agenda
It's utterly transparent. Keep the crisis alive along as possible so Federal money comes in to bail the state out. Illinois is fiscally fooked and he knows it. The only way out for them is to amend the state constitution and that is an absolute last resort for the powers that be.
Pritzger is following orders from the mafia. He’s lying.
Can’t wait until he’s in prison with all of the other ex-Governors.
You mean cook county and the University towns. The rest of us are rural America and wouldn’t vote for a Democrat if we had a gun to our head. The state is bankrupt.
Fed bailout $$ to states (which need to be repaid on a pre-decided schedule) should be prioritized first to states which start opening up their economy and putting people back to work.
One can hope!
Democrats are constantly coming up with new and totally false excuses to Stonewall. They are simply following the script that has been presented by their overlords.
I live in your name!
He is just following Chicken Freeper “case fatality rate” logic. It’s the most popular number on this forum.
As opposed to the not so scary infection fatality rate.
Because they are going to show that CV is far more widespread and thus far less dangerous than reported.
The people taking advantage of this manufactured crisis want it to go on as long and as widespread as possible. Can't let on that it is barely more serious than seasonal flu - we've got meat packing plants to shut down and the food supply to threaten before we do that...
These people are our enemies. They are not doing this for our well being, but for their power.
I no longer heed or listen to any Democrat Party piece of living scum & vermin, low life!!! Nor do I listen to the media except for a few on FNC & FBN. I never listen to Neil Cavuto or Chris Wallace...they are the lowest sort of hate America traitors. As for the daily Trump briefings...no more...simply a joke!!! I think Trumpie finally got the message & the picture.
Actually, Trump should buy two hours time from FNC, FBN & put on a TV powered rally and get out there with just Trumpie and his troopers, Brad Parscale, etc., and tell the American people the true tale!!! If he did this Trump would draw between 5-10 million TV viewers...the largest political rally in USA history. Get on it...today...Trumpie!!!
Trumpie...you must work every minute to totally destroy the entire Democrat Party traitors, turncoats, low life, scum, vermin, human waste species called Democrats politically!!!
Maybe the people of Illinois don’t trust what will happen to them if they test positive with a faulty China test.So they aren’t getting tested.
The Loud shouting about testing early on has always been a Democrat scam in this whole mess.
