-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Gov. JB Pritzker did not say what specific metrics would prompt him to remove the state’s indoor mask mandate or other mitigations, other than “hospitalizations, hospitalizations, hospitalizations...I’ve been saying that for quite some time now. As you know we reached an all-time high in hospitalizations at around 7,400.”

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.

He will have you masked forever if he has his way. Take of the damned Masks!
What metrics did the other states use to remove their mask mandates?
I was at the emergency room last Friday and it was packed at 1 pm. By the time we got out at 9 pm it was empty. Seems to me that people are using the emergency room instead of their doctors office.
There, it’s out in the open! Science and metrics have nothing to do with his decisions. He’ll lift the mandate when he feels he has something to gain, or a new cudgel can be created out of nothing. POS!
“As you know we reached an all-time high in hospitalizations at around 7,400.”
As of IDHP data on 2/6, there were 2,735 hospitalizations.
The CDC, even the great Fauci, and many other health “experts” have admitted that the cloth masks that Pritzker has been mandating do not work. In my region most people haven’t worn them for many months.
Were is Juliana, Pritzker’s lieutenant governor never hear a peep out of her, Pritzker have a gag order on her like he does on Ezike.
Rumor has it that she’s got a low IQ so they don’t give her anything to do.
The metrics have always been shifting. At times, King Pritzker has completely ignored the science when it did not support his executive orders. This has never been about the science. It has been about control.
King Pritzger is just the guy at the top of the progressive ruling class, he’s just doing the same thing as the rest of the progressives below him. They are all of the same mind. The progressives control the state, the largest counties, the largest cities, the park districts, the school boards, the prosecutor’s offices, all the way down to lowly city clerk in some cities. So to say it’s about control, yes, but all the progressives want control, Pritzker is just one piece of the progressive machine.
The lack of metrics is appalling. Today was the first day any member of the media actually questioned him. Truth to power!
The lack of any action (or interest) by the legislature is appalling.
