Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday said he’s glad the commander-in-chief has recognized the U.S. Constitution, while also calling Trump “nearly irrelevant” when it comes to coronavirus testing.
“We’ve gotten very little help from the federal government. It’s fine. I’ve given up on any promises that have been made,” Pritzker said on CNN’s “Erin Burnett Out Front.” “I hope something will get delivered from the federal government, but I don’t expect it anymore.”
I think Pritzker's doing a pretty good job. He was second in the nation to close schools, bars, and issue a stay at home order. He seems to be ahead of the curve, and Covid is not what we see in New York here with their late response. The MCCormick Place convention center is ready for patients, a newly closed hospital is open and ready for patients. The PPE is still a problem. He also donated $2 million of his own money to the Illinois Covid-19 Response Fund, which raised over 20 million to help residents of our state.
He's being criticized for the soaring cases among the inmate population. Unfortunately, the virus is spreading faster than the reviews for early release or release of non-violent criminals. It's a difficult situation that could have been alleviated had the testing been available to keep sick employees out of the prisons. They are the ones bringing it in.
I give Pritzker credit for keeping us from turning into the New York nightmare because of a late response. It's bad enough here, but, at least our healthcare system is not over run. It seems the governors are doing a better job than the federal government. Where are the tests?
Illinois has been waiting on the supplies they needed from the every start.
I'm sure it's no big deal. They can wait for another couple months or so while Trump is busy attacking the MSM.
so that governor is only good for requesting help from the feds.... does that governor run an efficient self reliant state...or is he and his state just moochers
I mean really you mean to tell me that a popular, crowded urban area like Chicago has no assets nor suppliers, nor health care factories/manufacturers
