Illinois governor says churches may not reopen for a year or more because of coronavirus
by Madison Dibble  | May 06, 2020 06:39 PM


It could be more than a year before churches are allowed to resume their in-person gatherings, according to Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

Pritzker announced a five-phase plan to reopen Illinois that gives guidance to schools, businesses, churches, and other religious centers about when they will be allowed to reopen. In phase three, gatherings of up to 10 people will be allowed. In phase four, gatherings of up to 50 people will be allowed. Gatherings of more than 50 people will not be allowed until phase five.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Pritzker confirmed that churches will be held to the same standards and not be allowed to hold in-person services of more than 50 people until phase five, even if it takes more than a year to get to that position.

Somehow I just don't see this happening.  We are starting to see little rebellions all over the place now and they'll likely increase in time.

There are a number of counties in Illinois that have zero deaths. http://usafacts.org/visualizations/coronavirus-covid-19-spread-map/

Why should this statewide edict apply to them?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Unconstitutional period.
Yep! And if mosques are allowed to stay open, casus belli.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
