I am grateful for Governor Pritzker. It not his fault so many people from rural parts of Illinois ignore science and lack common sense. He's done a fantastic job.

@BigBen
@Bearsfam

Were you able to find any data showing that the COVID spikes are due to rural people "ignoring the science and lacking common sense"?
