Indoor Dining Banned In Chicago, Governor Cites Rising COVID Case Numbers – CBS2 (Chicago)

As for restaurants that have been putting up igloos, tents, bubbles, or other temporary structures to expand outdoor dining in the winter, Arwady said city officials have been evaluating all of the designs to make sure they have proper air ventilation, fire safety measures, and proper entries and exits. “I have every confidence that the structures that are being put up are COVID-appropriate, and generally good for use."

Calling all IL dictators at every level of “authorita…” – PROVE 1) Cases means a darn thing in terms of actual public health and 2) “transmission” between cases or non-cases is measurable or means a darn thing either.

Sorry to tell you — you got what you voted for. How many more years are you going to listen to your union officers and BA’s? Have you had enough yet?

In DuPage County COVID has been traced back to 0.7% of the cases. Not sure what Cook County numbers are but I’m sure they are a hotspot just like the suburbs. This will definitely stop the spread of the virus.

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.”
