New federal COVID-19 testing guidelines have sparked alarm, confusion. But Illinois isn’t adopting them, and Pritzker says Trump is playing politics. – Chicago Tribune

Gov. J.B. Pritzker criticized the new guidelines as well as President Donald Trump: “I know the President doesn’t believe in science and would like to ignore this pandemic, but it’s the job of our medical institutions to uphold science and provide straightforward public health guidance, not bow to political pressure.”

How Dare Pritzger and his sidekick Doctor tell the Doctors and Pharmacists in Illinois they CANNOT prescribe HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE for Covid.

The CDC guideline is going back to their original guideline – test if you have symptoms. Since Pritzker has a financial interest in testing, he’s upset. Of course we have no idea how much money Pritzker companies have pocketed from testing since he won’t disclose it – But it’s tens of $M’s for sure.

No, it is Pritzker playing politics and always has been.
