Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued his 37th COVID-19 disaster proclamation. Illinois is one of only 10 states living under an emergency order.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker has issued his 37th COVID-19 disaster proclamation, extending his emergency powers through Jan. 5.
When it ends, Pritzker will have held emergency powers for 1,029 of 1,452 days in office, or 70% of his term.
None of Illinois’ neighboring states remain under emergency orders. Illinois is one of just 10 states nationwide still being ruled through emergency powers, with eight of the 10 led by Democratic governors.

New York was once the epicenter of COVID cases, but Gov. Kathy Hochul ended the disaster back in September.
“We’re in a different place now. We’ve been making announcements about taking masks off on public transportation. We have a new booster shot as of a few days ago,” Hochul said.
Under a disaster proclamation, Illinois can still request federal funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to cover costs related to COVID-19.
While West Virginia is still under an emergency order, Gov. Jim Justice announced his emergency powers will expire on Jan. 1, 2023.
Calling COVID-19 in Illinois a disaster has become routine enough that Pritzker didn’t issue a press release announcing the extension. Powers meant for emergency situations have become mundane.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lifted COVID-19 restrictions, saying they no longer recommend quarantining if exposed to someone who tests positive.
Pritzker could keep emergency powers for as long as he sees fit. The Illinois General Assembly – a coequal branch of state government – has no oversight into executive disaster orders.
Most states operate differently, with 34 giving their legislative bodies some form of control over the emergency powers. Arizona enacted a law requiring the legislature to approve emergency extensions beyond 120 days.
Unless the newest proclamation expires Jan. 5, Pritzker will carry emergency powers into his second term as governor.
I doubt the Illinois legislature would go against Pritzger if they had the power to do so.
Hahahahaha I live downstate IL and virtually no one wears a mask or tries so social distance. Pritzker still sucks and the IL libs are all pukes.
I am of the opinion that all emergency powers should end after 90 days. This is plenty of time for the legislature to write a law and pass the needed changes.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed an executive order on Dec. 10, 2022 to extend the COVID-19 disaster declaration .. another thirty days until Monday, Jan. 9, 2023... The declaration allows access to federal funds and..

Emphasizing that I'm not medically trained, please consider this.
Unless people in 8 of the 10 states above 37˚N, north of southern border of Kansas for example, are taking vitamin D3 supplements, they're statistically vitamin D3 deficient, having weakened immune system, between October and the first two months of 2023.
Vitamin D - The Sunshine Vitamin (Non-FR)
I still question if medical history might have turned out happier if vitamin D3 had been discovered before vaccines and "follow the unconstitutional federal money taxpayer dollars" experimental CV19 jabs were.
Sounds good to me too.
Texas!!!???
I see some old people and a few younger wearing masks in the store and am reminded why Prickster won.
