This is the sheriff of Richland County.    This is him a few hours later when he was called out for being a dipshit by a few people.  In comments, he would then say that he was not hacked and that he is being satirical. A god drat poo poo show.

What an insane human. I've seen similar takes from random people, but not from elected officials. Wasn't Richland where that lady who had a confirmed case just casually went shopping one evening instead of being self-isolating?

Sailor Jerry posted:What an insane human. I've seen similar takes from random people, but not from elected officials. Yep. Since yesterday, he has pretty much been pushing the idea that he was just puppet mastering the liberal snowflakes and he never really wanted the idiotic plan to be put in place and he was never hacked, it was just more puppet mastering.

So in hyper-local Normal, IL news... Our Mayor, Chris Koos (D) owns a bicycle shop. Pritzker declared that bike shops are considered "essential" businesses with his orders - after all, people rely on bikes for transportation. So, he's kept his bike shop open. Local chuds are extremely mad about this. Specifically mad at the mayor for some reason, because ... I dunno, he should close down in solidarity with bars or something? Or he's being a hypocrite by owning an essential business that they don't think should be? I have no idea, I am extremely confused what their gripe is besides "is a democrat and still open." So on Saturday there was a demonstration of ... gosh, less than a dozen ... of the usual suspects, maskless and waving signs around. They started on a pretty busy corner, and then planned a march to Koos's bicycle shop a block or two away to yell at him there. Anyway, my point ... Mayor Koos caught wind of the upcoming demonstration, and had this banner specially made for this occasion.

Apparently, there is a radio station (92.9) pushing the reopen bs. They are doing a call in radio show I think on Thursday. They will have people call in and they will explain to them how they can reopen since the governor’s orders are all “unconstitutional”.

Barely anybody seemed to be taking it seriously even in the populated areas of the county, compliance was based entirely upon how willing each grocery store or whatever was willing to enforce non-suicidal behaviors. Can't wait to hear how smug the customers at my wife's job are tomorrow!

Troy Queef posted:https://twitter.com/stltoday/status/1260374334448848897?s=20 Chairman Kurt Prenzler posted:“If you’re concerned about insurance, call your insurance man. If you’re concerned about legal liability, call your lawyer. The county is not your lawyer, Our goal is to be good citizens. We believe they [business owners] can be responsible.” It even says in this bill they have no idea what the legality of this is, they cannot give any guidance for insurance, and businesses will probably lose their liquor licenses. The Bill posted:These recommendations establish what we believe is a responsible path forward for our county to begin reopening. It does not guarantee the state wide legality of any reopening outside of the parameters of the emergency orders issued by the state of Illinois. Doing so may cause a business owner to lose its state or federal licensing and/or liability insurance coverage. This is so dumb.

I cant even really tell how this is even going to go since I haven't left my apartment in like a month except to go to work. So I don't really have much reference to how people have been behaving but I'll bet it's not good based on how many cars I see in drive-thrus

People seem to take mask wearing and distancing in Springfield, IL seriously enough. Most businesses that can have gone to curbside pick-up. I'm unsure who is really effected aside from bars, entertainment venues, and sit down restaurants. Some places have to be making more money because people are so loving sick of sitting at home they'll take any opportunity they need to go out and hit the drive-thru.

I can understand that, it's getting late in the spring and everyone's home improvement projects got all hosed up the past two months. I have a fence I need to rebuild, I got as far as tearing the old poo poo down and then got quarantined and have been trying to be a good boy and put the project off. But it's gonna get hot soon and gently caress building a fence in summer heat.

Menard’s in Effingham is turning away anyone without a mask and I saw 2 different groups get pissed off. They are also not allowing kids under the age of 16 in and are only supposed to be allowing 500 people in at a time (the lady telling people to get masks was also marking off everyone who came in). I then went to Walmart 2 blocks away and the workers are wearing masks but only about half of the people were. A few weeks ago, Menards only had a handful of people wearing masks and Walmart was probably around 75% of the people wearing masks. You know, I understand that we all want stuff to “return to normal” and each one of these steps is based on people doing what they are supposed to be doing (wearing masks, social distancing, etc) but Rs have turned this into a political issue and that just means that it will take longer to get stuff up and running again.

Yea, the REOPEN NOW crowd are actually just shooting themselves in the foot, but what else is new with Republicans. If we reopen sooner, then the disease will drag out longer, and as long as a bunch of people don't feel safe going out, you're going to have diminished sales/diners/etc. Home improvement stores are understandably busy because everyone is home all the time now, so they 1) have extra time to make these improvements, and 2) are probably noticing other things they want to fix. Still annoying to try and make a quick Home Depot run and find the place just packed with people.

I am guessing most of them are not looking forward to dealing with this where 1) businesses are not protected from their employees suing them if they get sick, 2) customers suing if there is an outbreak connected to the business, and 3) the state suing them for opening up against the order. Effingham county just voted unanimously (in 5 minutes) to approve the highly foolish 14 day plan that is spreading around southern Illinois. It took less than an hour for several businesses to post online that they are open for business and ready to go. One of them I had thought about getting a pizza from soon (got a gift card) but I will wait until this is all over because I do not want to reward dumb behavior.

I don't think Aetna wants to cover hospital costs for people who couldn't follow basic guidelines like wearing a mask. Health insurance claims are way down in general due to people avoiding elective care. Just like how a lot of auto insurance companies are giving premium rebates, right now I'd image they are more concerned with insurance regulators coming after them for excessive 2020 profits or low loss ratios then they are with general cost control. BCBSIL, for example, is picking up the cost share for all treatment related to COVID through their entire fully-insured book of business. Not just testing, but treatment itself - they are specifically waiving deductibles and copays for treatment due to COVID through May 31 and it may be extended. I imagine the big insurance issue for reopening is things like liability and worker's comp.

Dammit, my local radio page posted an article about how Wisconsin’s Supreme Court ruled against their Governor’s order (Fox News completely ignoring the lame duck judge that ruled and will be gone in August). Their comment on the post was how this could have implications for Pritzker’s orders...because they apparently do not understand how state legal systems work. Edit: they took it down.

The Illinois Sheriff’s Association threw a fit because Pritzker called out the dumb sheriff’s that are refusing to enforce the order. “Well, I know that not wearing pants and underwear in public is frowned upon but those rules are infringing upon my rights to travel how I want so why should I follow them when you said that if something is “unconstitutional” I should ignore it. Edit: Crawford County had a board meeting tonight where they were going to “approve a no confidence vote in the Crawford County Health Department” but they apparently got side tracked with a long discussion about seceding from Illinois.

xzzy posted:The American identity is no longer "gently caress you got mine," it's just straight "gently caress you." It plays directly into Bailey’s playbook. poo poo on everything and provide no solutions, just toss poo poo. Now he can bitch that Madigan is keeping him from having his voice heard. Also, there is a Chud rally today in Springfield that Bailey is at. He is refusing to wear a mask next week and in the background is a QAnon supporter. What gets me is that Wilhour put out an actual plan. It is pretty much Pritzker’s plan but 14 day periods between phases instead of 28. But the plan also requires mask wearing through all phases and they are claiming that the government needs to trust the people to follow the rules. But Bailey is the main example of why they will not.
