The "overwhelming" emotional toll of the coronavirus left an Illinois doctor in tears as she announced the latest number of deaths in the state more than seven months into the pandemic.
"These are people who started with us in 2020 and won't be with us at the Thanksgiving table," Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said before turning her back to wipe away tears during a daily press briefing with Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday.

Mentioning the Flu. What happen to the Flu Season? Did it take off on a vacation? It was in December that I last saw a Flu commercial prior to Covid, and no more Vicks, Robitussin,etc. commercials.
Doc, how about the empty chairs from those who had to forego regular medical and dental care due to lockdows?
How about the empty chairs from those who OD’d from alcohol, opioids, and other drugs?
How about the empty chairs from those who despair drove them to suicide?
You d@mn “cure” has been worse than the disease!
If she can’t take the heat, she may need to get out of the kitchen. Look for some other line of work.
doesn’t even mention the number that died, and it would be informative to know how that number stacks against a bad flu season death toll like 2017 when 80,000+ died.
Oh, and by the way.. amazingly nearly no one is dying anymore of the flu... curious... *rolls eyes*
I wonder if that is part of the DARK WINTER Biden spoke about in the last debate.
Pritzker and the Illinois Democrats have been working to maintain the quarantine and economic shutdown since mid-March.
It is all about gaming the elections and advancing a political agenda.
The metrics of fighting the Wuhan virus (COVID-19) have constantly been changing. Declining fatality rates have been ignored as of late and now merely testing positive for the virus are grounds for a shutdown.
There are allegations that the numbers are being manipulated and that Pritzker has investments that permit him to profit off of the virus tests.
The doctor is a political medico who formerly was the staff physician for a juvenile delinquent detention facility. Pritzker promoted her to head the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Didn’t I read somewhere that there has been no overall increase in deaths in the US?
My daughter was very lucky that early on in her career she spent 5 years as an ambulance-driving EMT. This experience steeled her constitution for all the gore and heartache. Then, when she got her BSN and CEN to work as an emergency room nurse, she knew how to handle these kinds of things.
There was one time when she was working in a downtown Richmond ER that 2 kids had been shot; they were riding ponies at a birthday party while in a nearby basketball court some punks shot each other up in an argument. Stray bullets made it to where the kids were. The 11-year old brother died on the way to the hospital. My daughter held the hand of the surviving sister and comforted the 8-year old while they removed the bullet from her chest.
I asked her how she managed. She said “you learn to be caring, professional and helpful, but you’ll go nuts if you let it get to you.”
If this was a bad flu season, the counts would have started over already.
The body count for today was 17 deaths. Hardly something to get upset about unless you are actually one of the loved ones.
For anybody interested, here is the Illinois main Covid sites

Here we go again, another democrat state having big problems because of the way they themselves have run their own state but trying to figure out how to blame it on Trump and the conservatives.
They are not only liars, they are pathetic liars.
Oh for Pete’s sake. Strangely enough, almost nobody has died of the flu in that time...LOL!
My wife has been exposed. She has a little crud and went to the doctor this morning to be tested. He gave her a steroid shot and a prescription for more steroids.
I’ve been hitting Zicam, vitamin D and tonic water pretty hard since Saturday night. I felt a little rough for a while yesterday afternoon, but I feel normal and good today.
I want to see a SINGLE post of hers on facebook, a single crying video on instagram, a single tweet, one public pronouncement, about how sad she is EVERY day when 7800 americans die of something.
Maybe she is a racist. How else do we explain her weeping for old white people dying, while she apparently NEVER posted a weeping picture when black kids were murdered in Chicago?
...are old people passing away in retirement homes.

Shower thought:
Back in the day (1985-87), I was informed by a Pritzker family member that Penny Pritzker was investing heavily in retirement homes.
What does something like this heavy die-off do to that sort of investment? Besides killing off their client base, how many people have decided NEVER to enter one of these communities? My own relatives in an expensive independent living situation are bored and virtual prisoners because of our prog Governor and terrified staff. Who still wants to work in such an environment?
I know I have decided to now age in place. It’s a lot more affordable & comfortable to have home health aides and visiting clinical staff than to sign over everything as collateral to an (eventual) assisted care facility.
That won't be a problem as Fauci cancelled Thanksgiving.
COVID death rate per their own website is about 9,000.
That comes to about 0.000751. Seven ten thousandths of 1 percent.
THAT'S the number that should be broadcast far and wide.
Lets talk about how these covid deaths are defined.
If a person has a significant heart condition and gets the flu, and the flu virus overburdens this heart causing the person to die from heart failure then that person is recorded as having had A HEART ATTACK/CARDIAC INCIDENT on the death certificate.
That person died of a cardiac condition while they had the flu.
No one, no city, and no state receives any extra funds from any state or federal program so their is no incentive to lie.
If this same person gets covid19 and has the very same cardiac condition and the covid19 virus overloads his/her cardiac system and they have a cardiac incident and die then the cause of death is listed as Covid19.
Even though the honest true scientific and medical assessment is that they died of a cardiac incident/heart attack, the cause of death is listed as covid19...
BECAUSE...
THEY, THE CITIES AND STATES, GET MONEY FOR EACH AND EVERY COVID 19 DEATH!!!!
The most accurate estimates I can find of deaths that were actually caused by Covid19 and not pre existing respiratory failure or heat failure is in the 20,000 area.
The large areas of population density, the big democrat cities have attributed even deaths by car accident to death by covid19.
The truth that is pointed out in this post is that the democrats will tell any lies necessary to line their own pockets and then intentionally represent these lies to be true if they feel that they can use this altered data against President Trump.
I’ll finish by reminding you that each and every state has a governor who ran that state’s response to this virus, who made all of the decisions that either killed people or kept them alive, and who shoulder 100% of however the covid19 situation turned out in their home state.
Trump supported these governors with knowledge, funding, and necessary equipment, but he did not make their decisions for them and is not responsible for their decisions. No matter how many senior citizens the New York Governor killed with his executive order that forced diagnosed and symptomatic covid19 mass spreaders back into nursing homes where there was no prior covid19 infections, it was the Governor’s sole decision and all of those deaths are on him, not Trump.
bring out the hysterical woman doctor
i am sure it touched all the fearpers here
If the odds of dying are low, how is this worse than a bad case of the flu?
