Illinois governor: Coronavirus restrictions necessary 'until we're able to eradicate it'
The Washington Times ^ | 5/10/2020 | Valerie Richardson

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker defended Sunday his cautious economic reopening plan, which leaves schools and many businesses shuttered until the novel coronavirus is all but defeated, saying the state will be unable to return to normal “until we’re able to eradicate it.”

“The truth is coronavirus is still out there. It hasn’t gone anywhere,” Mr. Pritzker said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “So we all are going to have to change the way we do things until we’re able to eradicate it.”

Gee, what happened to ‘two weeks’, ‘flatten the curve’??

Those of us that were not gullible enough to believe the liberal lies knew this never meant to end. I am saddened by my fellow FReepers who believed in this nonsense.

Watching Illinois go into the toilet is fine by me.

He and LightBrain can go down with the ship.

The Morons who vote for trash like that deserve the fall.

Not one single federal dollar needs to go to them.

We didn’t do that with the flu. Why would we do that with this?

Just like we've eradicated influenza, and rhinoviruses. Good thing he comes from money.

Are Illinois voters smart enough to fire this clown?

But we don’t have the ability to eradicate the virus, do we?

We have been told that researchers are working on a vaccine but the vaccine may not even be available until sometime next year, if the researchers are successful in developing a vaccine.

It’s not the fact that we’re going to have to live with this virus just as we live with flu viruses and other illnesses?

We can and should do things for personal hygiene and to try to make it less likely any people get any illness not just this one. But if we’re trying to say that Life as we know it needs to come to an abrupt stop because of this virus, say goodbye to the quality of all of our lives. Do we really want to live the rest of our lives in some sort of lockdown situation?

Here we go...

Thank God I live in a more or less conservative state with a sane governor.

Remember the ban on sodomy until the disease was eradicated during the AIDS epidemic?

Neither do I.

Total lockdown until death is eradicated.
It’s the only compassionate thing to do.

I heard that Illinois and other states as well are facing some severe budget.

I think this Democrat Governor is going to have to sharpen his pencils as he huddles with his Finance team to figure out how the heck he’s going to balance budget.
