Pritzker again made clear that the stay-at-home restrictions are not likely to be lifted in their entirety on April 30.
“We will be making some changes to the stay-at-home order as it is, but it is true that it is working,” Pritzker said. “So to pull it off, the stay-at-home order ... to remove it entirely, is to simply open everything back up to infection.”
Lightfoot offered her thoughts on the stay-at-home order during a teleconference with reporters... she said that the April 30 end to the stay-at-home order is no longer viable, reiterating her previous prediction that the order would go into May, then adding it could go into June.
Pritzker, who repeatedly has been critical of President Donald Trump and his administration’s response to the new coronavirus, was asked by the Post about Trump’s tweets that have seemed to support protests against stay-at-home orders.
Pritzker said Trump is making “a political maneuver in the middle of a national emergency, and he should stop it.”
Pritzker declined to identify the models used to come up with the mid-May projection of a COVID-19 peak.

5 dead and over twenty wounded in Chicago this last weekend.
The law abiding get locked up while the criminals run loose.
That’s low for Chicago.
Keep it up, that is all I am going to say other than you will eventually reap what you sow.
Nope.. Ralphie Northam has that beat here in VA. We’re in lockdown at least until 10 June.
Politicians and criminals .... There’s a difference ????
Gang Violence Continues Even Under Coronavirus There’s no social distancing for criminals.
Criminals are pikers.

April To Date
Shot & Killed: 45
Shot & Wounded: 145
Total Shot: 190
Total Homicides: 48
Perhaps Gov. Creosote could stop eating for a couple of minutes and and stop listening to appointees whose only qualification for a state job is that they are a member of some aggrieved group.
(Yes, if everyone in Illinois hides inside for the rest of their lives they will not die of coronavirus. But they will die of starvation. Or be eaten by other starving Illinois residents.)
Agree ... Those briefcases shoot up place real good
This jerk will discover this policy is exacerbating the continued exodus from Illinois.The he’ll wonder why tax revenues continue to decrease. The billionaire has no common sense.
Pols have just victimized the entire country, taken us hostage, held us up.
I’ll take your average crook any day.
Agree
They know what they’re doing.
They want a bailout.
But if they don’t get it, when their state goes bust, they’ll blame Trump.
I think that you are on the money with your comment about modeling. Panic peddling Prickster went all in with the worst case scenarios premised upon junk science and he cannot find a graceful way to exit from the fiasco that he helped to create by relying upon Democratic talking points and his extreme case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Of course, Illinois was woefully unprepared for the pandemic.
The governor’s chief medical advisor’s former position was as the medical director for a government sponsored detention for juvenile delinquents in Chicago.
The financial crisis in Illinois predates the COVID-19 pandemic by a quarter of a century and was fueled by Democratic mismanagement.
As long as they pay the Bill’s for their own stupidity they can stay home til next year.
