A national COVID-19 lockdown? Pritzker, are you insane?

It’s “necessary”?

Reminds me of what once was said in Vietnam: “It became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it.” Or to update: It’s necessary to destroy America’s economy in order to save the country.

Meanwhile, Chi Sun-Times offers in run-of-paper “analysis”:

Gov. J.B. Pritzker ordered a statewide disaster proclamation on March 9 — when Illinois had just four confirmed cases of the coronavirus. Since then, he’s evolved into a national leader on the issue.

Instant fame, apparently.
