* Background on Winnebago County’s situation is here. From Gov. JB Pritzker’s press conference today at Fermilab…
Reporter: Do you have any plans to institute any kind of further mitigations [and] if I can double up the question, Dr. Arwady said yesterday that Chicago was looking at maybe requiring COVID vaccination proof for restaurants or other large gatherings. Is the state looking at further mitigations and perhaps any kind of vaccine passport?
Pritzker: Well, throughout this pandemic I’ve said that local governments county governments should certainly look at stricter mitigations if they feel that in their area that is warranted.
Let me say specifically about Winnebago County in Rockford. This morning, I spoke with the mayor of Rockford and our IDPH has been in regular contact with the hospitals and the local public health department to make sure that we’re providing what they need. That means help with staffing. For example, they have access to our staff in contract at the state level. And then add to that monoclonal antibodies that we’ve been distributing across the state but now specifically focused on Winnebago County where this morning they declared a disaster in the county.
Reporter: [off mic, so no transcript]
Pritzker: Again, we’re looking at everything that has been done, you know, over the last two years, always. But what we’re really focused on is making sure that people are following the masking requirements indoors. Thank you to all of you who are doing that here. And making sure that we’re providing vaccines everywhere in the state. Please, if you’re not vaccinated, get vaccinated and get your booster. It gives you multiple times the protection than even the first two shots did, so I want everybody to listen and go immediately to their pharmacy or their doctor if they can
Please pardon any transcription errors.

Winnebago County waited till they hit the wall before trying to apply the breaks.
Is your county next?

==add to that monoclonal antibodies that we’ve been distributing across the state==
I need to remind Winnebagans that monoclonal antibodies cost 100x more than the vaccine and are LESS effective. So much for fiscal responsibility.

Seriously just go to any high school basketball game tonight and see how that mask requirement is going. Face masks worn as chin straps….so very effective.

“the current Republican frontrunner is holding an event in Rockford”
If it wasn’t a disaster before…

I kinda shied away from commenting, but Bailey visiting kinda changed my thinking.
The real idea of purposely putting lives in danger is the feature, not the bug.
‘Nember when it was “get sick or worse to own the libs”… Bailey is running a campaign based on that rationale… visits included.
