‘Closed for the Foreseeable Future:’ Chicago Beaches, Playgrounds to Remain Closed in Phase Four – NBC5 (Chicago)

“Where we think about pools and beaches, the water itself is not a concern for COVID spread,” the mayor said. “The risk is that people who breathe on each other have the ability to spread the virus...Unless we get into a heat emergency, we don’t have a plan to have pools open, and beaches are not open yet.”

I played golf yesterday at a non metro course in Illinois. You could enter the clubhouse area, bar restaurant seating area, or the pro shop via a separate door, they are in the same area 5ft away from each other. The washrooms are in the bar area but you couldn’t use them unless you exited and walked around to the front of the building, the bar and pro shop doors are at the rear, and used the door there to use the washroom facilities.

The most idiotic, arbitrary rules. Please show me the science and data that specifically show beaches and playgrounds are high risk areas but grocery stores and wal-marts are not? Even bars and restaurants are opening up this weekend. You know what really drives it – the mayor knows that once she gives the green light for beaches, there will be a rush of chicagoans that go because there is pent-up demand. She simply doesn’t want the optics of a photo-op of crowded Chicago beaches. Shame on her.

Closing bars, beaches, pools, parks and playgrounds are the best advertisement to move to the suburbs. It’s also basically telling people to go into the streets and start shooting each other, because there is little else to do and nowhere else to go. Lori can’t help but destroy what’s left of Chicago.

Seems quite obvious that’s the goal. She also believes she will run the NWO emergence of a remade “smart city,” good luck with that.

In reality all she’ll have left are the gangbangers who want to live the thug life.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
