I applaud Pritzker’s push to hold our constitutional Illinois elections as planned; the remaining states need to convert their elections to all vote-by-mail. Illinois was helped by holding extensive early voting. The Covid-19 pandemic is evolving daily and hourly, with endeavors and policies implemented to slow or halt the spread of this highly-contagious disease. I wholeheartedly agree with the closure of Illinois schools, which I’m betting won’t reopen for remainder of this school year. To impress upon our citizenry & for our own protections, the closure of pubs and dining-in was absolutely necessary; gyms & theatres will follow. Sport events, concerts, rallies, community gatherings and many church services have suspended or cancelled. Many businesses are reducing hours; many moving to providing online-services. In doubt, call first. We need to get serious about social-distancing, self-care and self-quarantine. We should be ‘sheltering-in-place’ to avoid viral-transmission, before we’re faced with forced lock-downs. Things will get worse before this disappears. NOT A HOAX!
