I willingly did the two week lock down a year ago to bend the curve. That’s all Jabba the Pig is going to get out of me.
Illinois legislature needs to limit Jabbas lockdown powers like other states. Why hasn’t this happened already?

Illinois is the tip of the communist globalist spear
Good Luck with new lockdowns! We are over it! Not going to happen.
Still too much rebellion against communist conditioning of muzzling and distancing.
Got to keep the lockdowns going.
Lousy communists!
