Gov was on @jaketapper 2day

Who/what did he blame for IL& #39;s rising C19 “case” numbers?

None of the above.

Predictable, Gov blamed non-mask wearing citizens who follow DJT’s alleged “bad modeling” of not wearing a mask.

So, not only rising pos tests are attributable to masklessness, but maskless are maskless "because Trump." Got it. 2/*
Sounds like his August rhetoric, right?

Strikes me as odd that a man of the Gov’s cultural/religious background would resort to flagrant scapegoating.

What exactly is he protecting - and why?

Mask compliance in Cook Co & Chicago has always been high, yet pos tests have risen ( w/deaths & hosp very low).

Gov wants testing to continue at a high level - & “cases” found - but more infections leaves 2 options: Take the blame or blame the people.

4/*
Think that& #39;s called "wanting to have your cake and eat it too."

Gov also proposed a virtual Thanksgiving (with a virtual turkey, perhaps?) - or family gatherings where you stay away from
.your family—and wear masks.

Nope nope nope

5/*
But the most disingenuous claim Gov made is that the virus is dangerous. Truth is, COVID19 is NOT equally dangerous to everyone

Nearly all ppl infected survive (see CDC& #39;s IFR estimates) #ChrisChristie

Know what& #39;s a lot more dangerous than COVID? Gov& #39;s mandates

Don& #39;t be misled by JB pointing to DJT, even though that grabs the headline

Our">https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavir... Gov is REALLY blaming any citizen who dares question or challenge him - & is ok w/implying we are mindless, stupid sheep

Sheep, it& #39;s long past time to take back the state.
