    Just like "'Until it's safe' means 'Never'" (Dennis Prager),
"Until the virus is eradicated" means "tyranny forever" (Illinois political hack)

Yep. If these lefties wanna talk about being “progressive” they need to take notes on what those 2 states are doing to open back up. Although we all know its just an excuse to further crash the economy.

    Like most Democrat ruled states, the lock-down will continue in whole or large part until 11/4/2020 when nationwide mail-in votes will be finally counted ...

    To paraphrase Chris Rock: the last disease the drug companies cured was polio, and they’re still kicking themselves for that.

    Well there you go then.
So based on history we are not ever going to have a vaccine against this virus.
Yet the Democratic narrative seems to be tied in with getting a vaccine so that life will return to normal when we have a vaccine.
So I hate to ask what do the Democrats suggest if we never have a vaccine? Do they want us to live in a lockdown situation forever?

    The truth is coronavirus is still out there. It hasnt gone anywhere, Mr. Pritzker said on CNNs State of the Union. So we all are going to have to change the way we do things until were able to eradicate it. In the Corona "family" of viruses we have
  
   - Common Cold Virus 
- AIDS Virus 
- COVID-19 
 Researchers have been working for 35 years on an AIDS vaccine. To date there is none. See any "cure for the common cold"? Don't think so. 
 Pritzker is a power hungry and ignorant. A dangerous combination.

    Polio is not eradicated world wide. Only eradication I think has happened is to small pox. Even having a vaccine does not equal eradication i.e. I had the flu shot for last year and still got the flu.
Funny how whenever Trump touts the quinine based drug, the LSM says he is not a doctor and should not be making that call BUT if an asshat dem like this asshole makes a pronouncement completely beyond reality, he is wise.

If things there get as bad as it looks like they may get, they may not stop at firing him.

     We didnt do that with the flu. Why would we do that with this? Or car wrecks. If it saves one life, ban all motor vehicles. Its for the CHILDREN! 👶🏻
