Democrats fighting democrats. But SOUTH DAKOTA!!!!!!!!!
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot warned Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s planned rollback of coronavirus reopenings will have a devastating impact on the city’s economy just as it is beginning to recover from the damage caused by earlier lockdowns.
Pritzker on Tuesday ordered Chicago’s bars and restaurants to curtail indoor dining options beginning Friday due to a recent surge in new COVID-19 infections.
Chicago has seen eight straight days of increases in its seven-day rolling average test positivity rate, which reached 7.8% on Friday. Hospital admissions have increased for seven consecutive days. Cities across the country are facing similar reversals of reopening plans as case counts reach new heights.
Pritzker’s order comes as the harsh Chicago winter approaches, leaving many restaurants with take-out as their only means of business.
“If the governor’s order goes into effect, it’s really effectively shutting down a significant portion of our economy” when many businesses are hanging on by a thread, Lightfoot told PBS.
Lockdowns ordered by Pritzker in March that were aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19 caused Chicago’s economy to contract by 10% and forced hundreds of businesses to permanently close their doors. Scores were left fighting for their survival.
