Gee, it would be nice to know what it means to be in Tier 2 vs. Tier 3. You’d think the Restore Illinois website might display that information 5 days after the Governor announced it. But why give businesses time to plan??

It’s there. And it’s not hard to find. Google is your friend.

a lot of restaurants in Region 4 never closed to indoor dining. Sangamon County has let indoor dining resume and the Decatur City Council may relax restrictions. I hope the number of vaccinations ramps up quickly.

Want to know today at 2:30 just what percentage of the LTC residents have been given the first dose of the vaccine… How quickly folks 65+ can get it…
Really feel like when those two numbers are at 70% to 80% the heavy threat of death looming over these daily numbers starts to lessen. As I see medical care workers and first responders pass on taking the shot - I say whatever, just another day sooner my mom and dad can get theirs or I can get mine. Lets keep rolling this thing out, we need (tens) thousands of people a day vaccinated.

This is the Restore Illinois website: https://coronavirus.illinois.gov/s/restore-illinois-mitigation-plan. Only Tier 3 is mentioned and there is no link to Tier 2. Yes, you can find it by Googling, but why make businesses go through those extra steps? Also, not every business category was impacted by Tier 2. So what does one of those businesses, like Health and Fitness, do? Do they stay at Tier 3 or do they revert back to Tier 1 (which was actually called Phase 4)? If this is on the website somewhere, my apologies but I cannot find it.
