With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Here’s the thing Pritzker doesn’t seem to understand, you can have all the ventilators in the world, but if you do not have qualified people, namely respiratory therapist your dead in the water. These are highly trained people, I just wonder how many are certified in Illinois
where are all graduates being cranked out with medical technology certificates/ licenses at City Colleges? with all the city/ taxpayer $ being spent on medical training at city colleges?
You need physicians and APPs for this. Respiratory therapists are very talented with vents but they can’t intubate or prescribe sedation
This crains articale from yesterday states there are currently 41% empty hospital beds & 29% empty icu beds state wide. A little above average. Makes you wonder. https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/if-you-go-out-wear-mask-pritzker
