Gov. JB Pritzker is ordering bars and restaurants in Chicago to halt indoor service and to limit gatherings in the city at 25 people starting Friday as COVID-19 cases continue to rise.
Region 11 [the city of Chicago] is now averaging more than twice as many COVID-related hospital admissions per day as it was a month ago, with a positivity rate that has almost doubled since the beginning of October, Pritzker said in a written statement Tuesday.
According to the latest data from the Illinois Department of Public Health, Chicago has seen eight straight days of increasing cases and seven days of increasing hospitalizations due to COVID-19. Both of those are factors the Pritzker administration uses in determining when to order mitigations to stem the spread.

Does the governor actually have to power to issue such draconian orders?
Perfect timing. The election is right around the corner. How obvious.
This is his 9th order since march I think. It is not legal.
Do you think this helps her or her party in any way?
Coordinated big lie.
Positive test result due to greater frequency testing may be occurring but deaths surely are not.
It’ll backfire on them anyhow in that it will suppress Democrat turnout.

why?? Is this going to tilt the scales away from Trump?? If anything, this should hurt the rats in the state.
What’s the big deal? I hear outdoor dining is lovely this time of year in Chicago.
People in chicago are morons. They wear masks outside and they buy into this crap hook line and sinker.
Next will be polling places.
“Legal” or not,it is a total abuse of power and these cities essentially turn into post apocalyptic sh*tholes. This new “surge” is also a complete manipulation as the new fear word is “cases”. A person can have a case of anything. C19 is now purely political.
No, but when has that ever stopped DemonRats?

Who’s her?

yes, that’s all this has ever been about. Maybe not at first but as soon as the Marxists saw it might help them, then it was non stop fear porn.
Remember at first the media and dems (same thing) tried to spin POTUS’s reaction as fear mongering and over reacting, and no need for travel bans etc. Then they flipped the script over night.
That’s my point. The Rats are tripling down on the fear of Covid. That’s all they got. Good luck.
C19 is now purely political.

What do you mean by “now”? This was all planned and executed flawlessly by the left.
Pritzker is banking on the national Democrats bailing the state out.
He should see “Pritzker Sucks” signs where ever he goes for the rest of his life. He has a house in Florida. There should be some of these signs there as well.
