Pritzker: All Illinois regions have met conditions to reopen

CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Thursday announced an end to his 10-week-old stay-at-home order, declaring that every region of the state has met conditions necessary to allow more social interaction amid the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

The state will move into the third phase of the Democrat's five-stage “Restore Illinois” plan, a step that will see reopening of manufacturing and retail, outdoor dining at restaurants and small social gatherings.

Restless residents have agitated for more freedom to leave their houses and resume some sense of normalcy. In loosening the restrictions, Pritzker cited more favorable conditions, including decreased hospitalizations and enough health care capacity to gear back up if the virus flares.

But with another 104 deaths from COVID-19 reported among 1,527 new cases, Pritzker urged caution. Discouraging virus transmission by covering noses and mouths and continuing social distancing will remain the norm.

“It’s important that we remain careful about continuing to wear face coverings, washing hands, maintain 6 feet of distance ...,” Pritzker said. “Let’s not move backward, but instead, let’s move forward together.”

Mr. Creosote was a character in the Monty Python classic The Meaning of Life. Google it up and watch the scene. It’s classic.

PRITZKER’S TOILET REMOVAL CONTRACTOR GETS NEARLY $9M IN COVID-19 WORK.
The contractor who removed toilets from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s mansion in a $331,000 property tax scandal received a nearly $9 million COVID-19 contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The contractor hadn’t worked with the Corps in 76 years.

Bulley & Andrews was hired by First Lady M.K. Pritzker to remove toilets in order to have a mansion on Chicago’s Gold Coast deemed uninhabitable. The move saved the Pritzkers $331,000 in property taxes on the mansion they own next to their home. Once the investigation was over, M.K. Pritzker had the contractors reinstall a toilet in J.B.’s “hangout/meeting area.”

The Prickster may be afraid of what AG Barr has on him.
