That's just great... I had a feeling this was coming, but I'm just so disappointed. It looks like we'll be sitting here until at least the end of May.. and who knows if he'll extend it past that. I guess the governor is just fine with places going out of business and people going hungry... but he was born into money, so why should he care?

Plus, I heard he's going require everyone to wear a mask in public. This is the straw that broke the Camel's back. We've begun getting the house ready for market. Planning to load up the wagon and make trails out of Illinois. Last I heard this stunt will cost Illinois over $7 Billion dollars and guess who will end up paying for that? Not JB!

So dumb. Everybody knows this mostly impacts the elderly aged 50+ so keep shelter in place for them and let everyone else get back to work. Illinois will most certainly go bankrupt from this. I feel sorry for the endless small businesses that will go bankrupt as well.

Yeah, this sucks. When do you think they'll enforce wearing masks? They look so uncomfortable.

Heard it will be announced today and I'm guessing immediately. This is getting so ridiculous. We flattened the curve yet they keep pushing! How many beds are being used in McCormick place? I heard it cost ~$70 million dollars to transform into a hospital and not a single bed has been used.

I just don't understand it... I've been so angry and upset for the past month about all of this, but I'm just starting not to care anymore. It's wearing me down.

And yeah, I know many of the hospitals here are empty...it make no sense. They have some other agenda that they're not telling us.

People are not going to sit by while they do this. Protests are being staged.

Yeah, there have already been some in Springfield. I just don't think many people will protest in Chicago though...too many sheep here. The mayor even closed down the lakeshore bike path a month ago and many people seem to think she's so great for doing that.
