GOVERNOR PRITZKER TRAILS BY 7,825.

The geographic area and population of Illinois are both similar to those in Sweden, and there are similarities of the Chicago and Stockholm metropolitan areas.  But  Springfield politicians are hazardous to your health.  Governor J. B. Pritzker (D-Lake Geneva) continues to micromanage and destroy local businesses.

A service called Worldometers has been keeping track of coronavirus infections and deaths, disaggregated in a number of ways.

Sweden recently changed their approach to the virus, exhorting people to avoid crowds and go out less.  Illinois has been under some sort of mitigation since mid-March.

The latest report from Sweden counts 320,098 infections and 7,514 deaths.

The latest report from Illinois counts 848,904 infections and 15,339 deaths.

Last week, the governor trailed by 7,049.
