Surprise! Leftwing Cities, Which Kept Their Populations Hostage During the Election Year, Suddenly Press for Speedy Reopening Now That Political Goal Has Been Achieved

@KatiePavlich

Wow, amazing how the mayors of America's largest cities are advocating for reopening the week before the Biden administration takes hold.

I guess the "Dark Winter" Biden promised before the election -- to presumably occur under Trump -- has been cancelled?

Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday said Chicago restaurants and bars need to be allowed to reopen "as quickly as possible" not just to help those businesses survive, but also to cut down on instances of private parties where people don't take proper precautions against COVID-19.

Under the state's virus mitigation plan, Chicago's restaurants and bars were forced to halt indoor service in late October. While Gov. JB Pritzker has said some regions of the state can begin rolling back some COVID-19 restrictions starting Friday if they meet certain virus thresholds, reopening of indoor dining wouldn’t happen until each region moves back at least three more phases, and Chicago is not yet on track to begin easing restrictions.

Thursday morning, Lightfoot said she plans to have a conversation with Gov. JB Pritzker about how to begin rolling back virus mitigation efforts ASAP.

"I want to get our restaurants and bars reopened as quickly as possible," she said.

Alfonso Jose Castillo, owner of Americanos, said his business will not survive if things continue as they are.

Don't worry, Alfonso: The pandemic is going to be magicked away within a week.

Make sure you congratulate the Covid Karens on the pseudoright who, as very much usual, believed every word their progressive pals (or progressive handlers) told them to believe on Twitter, and once again played their assigned roles in another criminal leftwing political operation.
