Illinois doing a great job so far Bending the curve:

Info here about available hospital beds, ICU beds and ventilators. It's also broken down by regions.

Fingers crossed we stay safe in stage for at the end of the week.

Our state government and Chicago city government are doing an awesome job!

1. Yay! I love good news

2. I'm reprising part of a reply from an earlier post- because it fits here better

I'm in corn country rural Illinois. There is a sizable minority of folks here that won't follow the guidelines - at all/

Evidently it's because Pritzker is rich and from Chicago - so they can't do anything he says.

It is literally that stupid - it is a second grade level mindless reaction. It's insane.

Illinois has done the best job fighting this pandemic of any state, but it doesn't matter. If JB is for it, they are opposed

When the barking Orange Walrus shit on grain farmers in a losing dick measuring contest with China - Pritzker negotiated a soybean purchase agreement with Taiwan that allowed Illinois farmers to sell their produce at a more profitable rate.

It was a move that SAVED FAMILY FARMS state wide.

When I brought that up recently I was told "You know JB was getting kickbacks on that", well no asshole I don't know that, where is the proof that ever happened?

No proof. They just "KNOW"

AM radio and Fox have built a Bizarro America that is indistinguishable from a Jonestown level deathcult

3. I'm curious. I'm Jewish and I wonder do they mention Pritzker being Jewish in their hate speech?

5. Many do, although the folks I'm talking about know me, and may be editing themselves

Given some of our earlier "discussions"

6. Not as far as I know.

But there was a hate rally (no masks) that had posters of him as Hitler. Very disturbing.

He has given away a great deal of money. The Holocaust Museum in Illinois was given large amounts of money by JB.

4. We could be neighbors. In my area, a "level-headed feller" is a man

with Skoal dripping out of BOTH corners of his mouth.

7. Have you seen those

"Pritzker Sucks" yard signs? I want to get one and edit it to read, "Pritzker Rocks." I have two yard signs already, and hope to have many more signs supporting Democrats. I live in a good spot for yard signs.

They have "Pritzker Sucks" masks, too. They are wearing masks! Republicans are too dumb to understand irony.

8. I see posts from folks in Georgia and Ohio and other red places

and NO ONE is in masks.

Even down here in the corn, most people are doing the minimum.

I would guess about a third are those radical mask free dipshits I keep hearing of.

Personally, I haven't seen the level of agressive assholism I read about in other states. Maybe because masks ARE common, sort of a strength in numbers thing.

If the mask wearing folks were in the minority I don't doubt they'd be much more aggressive - because being a bully is just part and parcle of being a fucking republican

9. I am going to make on OP about some of my experiences.

I have other work to do today before I do that.

10. I've seen one of those.

Only one. And that was one too many!

11. Our Democratic Central Committee

participated in an effort to get signs that say, "Thank you, Governor Pritzker." We had to pay for them, but I have one on my hill. It is going to stay there long after the candidate signs are removed.
