Mayor Lori Lightfoot Warns City Might Have To Move Back To Phase 3 If COVID Cases Continue To Rise; ‘We Are On The Precipice’
CBS 2 Chicago ^ | July 15, 2020 | Todd Feurer

Comparing herself to a mother who won’t simply turn the car around if her kids are acting up, but one who will make them walk home, Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday warned the city is “dangerously close” to possibly going back to Phase 3 of reopening, following a recent rise in new COVID-19 cases, particularly among young people. “The last thing I want to do is have to take steps back. I certainly don’t want to be like other places in the country where we’re shutting down commerce and business,” she said. “If we continue to see this uptick in cases, we’re going to have no choice but to go back into Phase 3. That means shutting businesses down. That means imposing more restrictions on your mobility. No one wants to go back there, but we will have to go back there if people continue to ignore the public health guidance.”

Why? The death rate is waaaay down, hospitals are not being overrun, and the overall recovery rate is well over 99%.

She may have to shut down the city, except for gang warfare.

She is taking the proactive measure of keeping law enforcement out of those death zones. Some Black lives just don't matter.

More people have been dying from bullets, bludgeoning, and stabbing than COVID in Chicago for a long time.
