From The Center Square:
Despite being 10th most restrictive state, Illinois’ COVID-19 death rate higher than all neighbors
(The Center Square) – An Illinois state representative says data and science show Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s COVID-19 mitigation, which was among the strictest in the nation, may have made the death rate worse in Illinois compared to neighboring states that had fewer economic restrictions.
Illinois is the tenth most restrictive state in the nation when it comes to COVID-19 mitigation, according to WalletHub.
The consumer finance website ranked the states based on a range of factors like face mask requirements and workplace temperature screenings and more.
Illinois ranked No. 42 of all states and the District of Columbia.
A detailed breakdown of some metrics for Illinois showed the state was
- 49th strictest for allowing restaurants and bars to reopn,
- 34th for reopening non-essential businesses and
- 26th for large gathering restrictions.
When comparing Illinois with neighboring states for total cases per 100,000, Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin surpassed Illinois.
Another indicator of the impacts stricter mitigations are having on Illinois compared to neighboring states is the unemployment rate.
Illinois’ unemployment rate is 7.6.
That’s more than double Iowa’s unemployment rate of 3.1 percent and higher than all neighboring states.
McCombie said what’s clear is the economic damage the mitigations in Illinois have brought.
“The businesses around my area, whether it be a small community like Savanna or Thompson compared to Rock Falls or Sterling or in the Quad Cities, they just want to be open,” McCombie said.
While 10 of Illinois’ 11 regions Pritzker carved up as part of his reopening plan can now allow some indoor dining, meetings are still limited to no more than 25 to 50 people. depending on the region’s status. McCombie said that continues to practically block conventions and associated economic activity.
Is the overall Illinois “state” death rate largely affected by a few counties in the state such as Cook?
Went to the IDPH website and it was not useful in answering this question.
Of course.
As the beetlejuice mayor says, we gotta protect our most vulnerable.

Of course it’s an epic failure – that’s what DEMOCRATS are reputed for.
They are indeed, the “Kings Of Consistency”.
“An Illinois state representative says data and science show Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s COVID-19 mitigation, which was among the strictest in the nation, may have made the death rate worse in Illinois compared to neighboring states that had fewer economic restrictions.”
Hmm, that’s curious.
Did the representative explain how he arrived at the conclusion that stricter COVID-19 measures and those stricter measures alone resulted in a worse death rate ?
It’s because of the phony Illinois numbers.
Big phony Illinois numbers

Phony in what way ?
The rules themselves don’t accomplish or mitigate anything in themselves.
Everyone’s COMPLIANCE with the rules is what could have an impact on the transmission rates.
But here we have business owners electing to help themselves by disregarding the restrictions so they can continue to turn a dollar — it’s about their “survival.”
We have citizens here who view it as a “freedom” issue and won’t comply because they don’t want to be sheep, or libtards, or covidiots.
We have dumbed down to the point where we would risk our own health to demonstrate how “free” we are from “phony” plagues — owning the libs! We have become so indifferent to others around us that we seem to not care how all that behavior impacts others in our community.
Our collective action — or inaction — will have consequences.
Let’s see how that works out for us.
Innocent? You are a moron. Everybody already knows it is a total hoax. Why would you ask such a stupid question? Do they pay you to be this obtuse or does it just come naturally?
Cindy please go crawl back under your “Q” rock.
Cindy
Well, nobody’s paying me.
I wish someone was, I could make a fortune playing moronic.
Do you know who I should call ?
Dianne? You are one of the dumbest pieces of crap to ever crawl out from under this psyop. You are going to get exactly what you deserve. These were written specifically for you.
Isaiah 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
II Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Innocent? Then you are admitting that stupidity just comes naturally. Ahmm. Got it.
Cindy – stop using religion as a distraction. You are a “Q” believer. Go crawl back under your rock.

But love your enemies, do good to them.
Also, you’re a crack pot who believes in conspiracy theories that have no base in reality. You realise that your political alignment is on par with someone who dropped out of school to peruse a career in political cousin fucking?
Cindy, ignore the idiots. We’ll see if they’re still here in 20 mos. post vax.
