Despite being 10th most restrictive state, Illinois’ COVID-19 death rate higher than all neighbors – Center Square

Another indicator of the impacts stricter mitigations are having on Illinois compared to neighboring states is the unemployment rate. Illinois’ unemployment rate is 7.6. That's more than double Iowa’s unemployment rate of 3.1 percent and higher than all neighboring states.

Pritzker should be charged with Manslaughter. Many, many people TRIED to tell Pritzker the science, but he chose politics over science. People died needlessly, people lost their jobs and businesses needlessly!!! Pritzker is a menace!!!

JB followed the science; unfortunately for Illinois, it was only political science. Shame on him and all of the experts who abetted him. Will the voters learn anything from this?
