Illinois governor says masks and social distancing orders will continue indefinitely, until vaccine
May 11, 2020 | Frieda Powers

Illinois residents may not be seeing an end in sight any time soon for coronavirus orders in their state.

Governor J. B. Pritzker doubled down on the lockdown orders in his state, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday that Illinois residents could see weeks of social distancing and wearing masks until he feels the coronavirus is “eradicated.”

The Democrat governor, who has come under fire over his stay-at-home order, announced a five-phase reopening plan and an updated order at the beginning of the month which goes through at least May 29.

“We are being very careful,” Pritzker told Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday.

“We have a 28-day period in May in which we’re monitoring these numbers. On May 1, I changed our stay-at-home order to make sure we reopened our state parks and kept people socially distant, put a lot of rules in. We opened golf courses, but only for very small groups going through it, no carts, everybody has to have their own clubs and everybody has to have masks,” he added.

“Everybody across the state has to wear a face covering in public,” the Democrat said. “We’ve done a lot to make sure we’re keeping these numbers moving in the right direction. And we will not reopen unless we meet all of the standards that I’ve set for doing so.”

He claimed the state was “going it alone” as they have “not been counting on the White House, because there have been too many situations in which they’ve made promises not delivered.”

I am ready to march on the capitol...but Prickster lives in Chicago and never comes south of I80......my motto is they can't arrest us all..lol

This is stupid, and unreasonable to boot.  Who can honestly say when, or even if a vaccine is possible!  I've been waiting for a vaccine for the common cold my whole life.  The Coronavirus more closely resembles the common cold than it does the flu, and the flu vaccinations are hit-and-miss.

Don't they all? There and Springfield. 

Folks up in here are now outright ignoring Helena's dictates. And yeah. The best way forward is a general nullification by the citizenry. What are they gonna do? Take away your birthday?

Yeah, but in IL your can go get your recreational cannabis  unabated as an essential business.

Got to have priorities.

Protests are about to spring up in towns across the state.  I've heard Ottawa and LaSalle will happen.

Eventually, people will simply ignore all of his 'edicts from on high' and just go about their daily lives with or without him. He seems to think he is consolidating POWER. The opposite is true. The more outrageous his proclamations, the more people will simply ignore it. He is undermining his own authority by being ridiculous.

Her?  You know something about Prickster we don't?

Those goalposts are on wheels and the motor is turbocharged. If a vaccine becomes available in large quantity before November 4, 2020 the goalposts will move.

That is the risk of operating under the color of law.

As @roamer_1 correctly observes, the tyrannical orders are in the process of being nullified by the citizens.  This is how the Rat lunatics will be beaten, and now we can see this may change a lot of Democrat votes in November.  Michigan is not likely to soon forget Whitless.

When you realize there's a good chance a Vaccine will never be produced, you can appreciate the beauty of announcements like the one in the original story.  The Rat Governors have no intention of ever removing the boot on the necks of the citizens, until those tyrants get thrown out of office.

The impact in Michigan is astounding.  Whitmer ordered that certain construction trades were non-essential.  Construction aggregates, asphalt, ready mix concrete, cement - all knocked sideways.

Got him confused with Whitmer. This is the kind of thing she would do.

Michigan will go down as one of the worst examples of a tyrant Governor.  Even worse than Prickster.  It's too bad she's not up for reelection until 2024, but she really pissed off the Republican Legislature.  If she keeps it up there's a good chance she'll go down well before then, either via Recall or Impeachment.  She is defying a clear Statute that prohibits her from maintaining a "State of Emergency" longer than a month without their say-so.

The confusion is totally understandable.

I look forward to Putzker's sycophantic legal-beagles trying to defend imposing greater restrictions on churches than on restaurants n such.

A woman is made to wear a bracelet on her ankle, because her husband has covid-19.  MARXIST. AND MUSLIM TAKE-OVER.  How many join islam?  Cassius Clay. Many ball players.  Kareem Abdul Jabar.  And islam believes in SLAVERY..today.

Same thing in Colorado right now.  Can't go grab a bite to eat unless you want to go through the drive thru and eat in your car in the parking lot.  But the weed shops are still open and doing a booming business.

Are you suggesting non-commies that live in downstate Illinois deserve this because the commies in the big cities do?
