Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker today issued a “stay at home” order for the entire state starting Saturday at 5 p.m. through April 7. (Snip) Residents can still go to the grocery stores, put gas in their cars, take walks outside and make pharmacy runs, the governor said at a Friday afternoon news conference. All local roads, including the interstate highways and tollways, will remain open to traffic, as well. “For the vast majority of you already taking precautions, your lives will not change very much,” Pritzker said of the shelter-in-place directive.

FTA, “For the vast majority of you already taking precautions, your lives will not change very much.” Tyell that to the millions that have lost their jobs thanks to these kinds of orders. There will be far great harm for the goobernments mandates to stop life in this country than from the virus.

Interesting social distancing strategy emerging in the big blue states... Lock down families and unlock the jails. Deep blue logic.

Somebody has been lying to us. A bioweapon has been unleashed, and we weren't told, except for the senators, who immediately dumped their stocks, or something? I want a stop alright. I want the government and the medical people to come out and tell the truth about what is going on. It is not going to increase the panic, as that has already happened. You don't shut down the world, close the borders, unless something very major is happening.

Most of Illinois is very rural and far from any virus outbreak. Why would people in tiny towns and the countryside have to be isolated inside?

I agree, #4. This is an outsize reaction. And if Soros is at the bottom of the pile, wouldn’t be surprised.

Yeh right. Everybody stay at home but empty out the prisons. Somehow it seems to me that a jail is the ideal place to enforce a quarantine. We have the fever unit and the no symptoms unit.

#5 - Pritzker being from the Chicago area sees Illinois as Chicago and the neighboring counties. Ditto for half the bureaucrats and legislators of Illinois. What he's doing may be right for their environment but they have no idea, can't even picture what life is like in small town USA.

Be sure and protect your property from roving gangs using a Joe Biden approved double barrel.

Does this mean death from gun shot wounds will go down in Chicago?

The powers-that-be are using the Corona virus as a pretext to control our lives to a degree never seen before.

Given the choice between having the virus or dealing with these mentally ill leaders shutting down their states over the flu, I would choose the virus. At least I know the virus will go away.

I live on the IN/IL border and decided to grocery shop on the IL side today. The parking lot was packed and I drove past the front and glanced in to see extremely long lines. Nope!! Called in my pizza order to a local shop (carry out only of course) and the nice lady who brought me my food said it was because of the idiot Gov. This is just nuts.

Hmmm. Is someone going to let the gun-toting thugs in the warzone known as ChiCongo that they are to stop shooting each other and stay at home?? Will the yearly death toll go down in ChiCongo this year?? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Illinois has 422 confirmed cases and 4 deaths and we shut down the state. Do these number really justify this action. I'm just concerned about the thin wall between people complying willingly and civil unrest. Let's hope we see quick positive results from the new drug protocols and this nightmare will end sooner than later.
