Illinois to issue "shelter in place" order for all residents

Gov. J.B. Pritzker to issue lockdown order requiring residents ‘shelter in place’ starting Saturday, sources say
Chicago Tribune
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker plans to issue a “shelter-in-place” order for the entire state starting Saturday, essentially commanding residents to stay in their homes as the officials take drastic measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus, sources told the Tribune.
Pritzker is expected to announce the directive at a 3 p.m. Friday news conference along with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Details are still being worked out, sources said.
Residents can still go to the grocery stores, put gas in their cars, take walks outside and make pharmacy runs. All local roads, including the interstate highways and tollways, will remain open to traffic, as well.
Suburban Oak Park also issued a shelter-in-place order as of 12:01 a.m. Friday, after two emergency room physicians at Rush Oak Park Hospital tested positive for COVID-19. Residents have been ordered to stay in their homes except for “essential” travel as outlined by village ordinance. They can go to work, for example, if their businesses remain open, especially if they have essential jobs such as first responders, sanitation workers or health care providers.
Louisiana has about 50 more cases than Illinois.

It's like every Democrat governor is racing to see who can tank their economy first.

Luckily, the business I'm in is considered essential, so I guess I'm OK

Did you say that yesterday?
Because it is essentially no different that what is already being done in most places.

I don’t get the need to call this shelter in place that’s what is already going on. It creates rumors and panic for no reason. Why don’t just say we are restricting more non essential business because the orders only apply to business.

I really would like to see a cop pull me and my son over on the way to go fishing and throw us in jail. Good f’ing luck.

The feds will be left to pick up the pieces. The blame game is going to be insane.

But why implement a formal measure if it is unnecessary and doesn't actually result in any further restrictions? All it does is deepen the sense of ambient unease and exacerbate the economic disruptions.

What part of central IL? I have family all over that part of the state.

I think the only real change from where we're already at is that there will be no more order delivery or pick up from restaurants.

I bet there will still be 20 violent shootings in Chicago this weekend.
