Gov. J.B. Pritzker has announced the state’s framework for reopening which could see dine-in restaurants and bars — closed since mid-March — open in some areas by late June. The plan, called Restore Illinois, is not based on a set schedule, but is a benchmark-based approach to reopening the state. In it, Illinois is divided into four regions (Snip) Pritzker also admitted that the state won’t be considered fully recovered until scientists develop a COVID-19 vaccine or treatment. Until then, conventions, music festivals, and other mass gatherings won’t be allowed. Those events could happen again in the plan’s final state, Phase Five: Illinois Restored.

Could? Restaurants and bars here in South Carolina are already open, with limitations.

He's lying. These RATS are in no hurry to get back to normal. They'll keep pulling away the football. If sheeple would realize they are being lied to, this may end sooner. But I'm starting to lose hope.

All these sooper-dooper pooper-scooper multiple phase plans that the progressive governors are climbing all over one another to draw up are ridiculous. And are doomed to fail. Soon. Very soon.
How do I know that? Unlike them I was not born missing the Math gene. I can calculate exactly when they will either have to lay off 90% of their personnel or increase our taxes 200%...or both. Them? They still think they are running for Junior High President. Ergo the promises to have not just ditch days but ditch months, free tacos, and cool masks to wear everywhere.
Time to give all these governors wedgies and stuff them into lockers.

He's waiting for a vaccine or treatment. I believe the treatment he's referring to is known as a Federal bailout.

Pritzker is killing Illinois--a state already on life-support.

The criteria is arbitrary. You want to stay closed longer? Just do more testing and shazam the cases are still going up, sorry kids can't let you open it's for you own good sort of like delousing.

The real question is will there be any restaurants or bars left to open?

I have seen a couple of guys doing a very good job painting someone's home near me. Is that considered essential work? Obviously, for the painters, because they probably have families to support, but how come they can work and other people can't?
How about the ordinary white-collar worker just trying to make a living after breaking his butt getting a good education and a job so he could support his family? Are their jobs non-essential? It's so insulting.
I commend Mrs. Luther, who followed all the rules to protect her customers in her beauty shop and just wants to make a living for her family. Elect a Democrat in 2020 and all these petty tyrants will have free rein to put us all in the gulag.

Gov. Jabba the Hut, a billionaire, has no worries but a lot of lower paid Dems who work in these restaurants are. What a loon

Nice catch phrase but it's going to take a lot more than bars and restaurants to Restore Illinois. They are in a heap o' trouble.

I don't know how the residence of IL put up with this. It's a huge state and outside of Chicago and right in E. St; Louis, there are very few cases. Many areas don't have a single death - but there are locked down for months. This will kill-off the majority of restaurants.

Can't imagine how the City of Chicago is handling this with the thousands of restaurants all over the city.
That's jobs, jobs, jobs, that likely won't ever come back based on his "plan".
Will voters think he is doing the right thing, or he took things too far?
The stay at home was never to cure the virus, but was to not allow the hospital systems from being overwhelmed, and to then make sure the PPE supplies needed could be brought in to handle things.

Late June.....they'll all be gone by then. Nothing left to open.
This is wrong.

Where’s that “boogaloo” all of the tough guys were talking about? Everyone who “backs the blue” while they lose everything without a fight deserves their fate and they’ve got to know that. Americans are easy to defeat in 2020. And thank you, President Trump, for shutting down the country based on models created by people who’ve NEVER been correct. Like it or not, he’s singularly responsible for this more than any other person. In his defense, however, he had no way of knowing our entire government is GARBAGE. Our “experts” are political hacks and LEO’s brainless, soulless thugs with guns for arresting healthy people just trying to survive the poor decisions of politicians. It’s surreal and grotesque.

Lightfoot is out of the loop. She is in over her head and being bulldozed by Pritzker. I can’t imagine Rahm allowing this. Or Daley. Chicago elected Pritzker. It’s time for Lightfoot and the aldermen to put some pressure on him to loosen the noose—I mean reins. It’s also time for Boss Madigan to step up. Pritzker is out of control.
