Illinois

[WarriorDad]

Can't take it when a spade is a spade so you're going to follow me across the board?

I live in the state and came across your comments here.  Did a double take to make sure it was you because of what you said earlier in the 1952 section.  Yup, it was you.    

[4everwarriors]

Thanks, Goose.

We're lucky. Our golf course is open (walkers or singles in carts) and pickle ball courts too. Tennis and the fitness center closed but perfect weather for walking/running. Sites opening locally where anyone can get a test.

How are things in Milwaukee?

It sucks the hind tit, Lenny Man. The Gov. gets to decide who he puts outta business, hey?

The governor is following federal guidelines you know.

Stoopid governor following guidelines specifically laid out by the leader of our nation. I mean, how dumm can he be?

In some ways, sure, but I'm unaware of any federal guidelines instructing governors to hide from desperate nursing homes behind a "This mailbox is full and no longer accepting calls" message.

Have you called the hotline?

In Wisconsin?

[Warriors4ever]

Lenny, is there anything new on the nursing home situation? I have been wondering.

[buckchuckler]

In Wisconsin?

Well the title of this thread is Illinois...

They have had several more positives among both staff and residents. Some good news, though - evidently a family member of a resident has connections somewhere and more test kits are on the way.

The Chicago wsy.

No. I'm taking the word of the Villa's director.

Well the question Lenny's asked 4ever was about Wisconsin. I know. Reading comprehension can be hard.

[buckchuckler]

I know. Reading comprehension can be hard.

I'm proud of you.  Admitting you have a problem is the first step.  Now just work on correcting it.  Try to follow thoughts together perhaps.  This one started here:

My wife just received a chilling email from the director at Addolorata Villa, an assisted living/skilled care facility in Wheeling, Il run by the Sisters of St Francis. My wife%u2019s 98 year old mother is a current resident. At this time 9 residents and 5 workers have tested positive for Covid 19.
Here is a portion of that email:

Comprehension can be tough, but I have faith you can do it.  Well a little faith anyways. 

[Lennys Tap]

Rereading, I think 4ever was replying to my "How are things in Milwaukee?". In my response, I was talking about Illinois. So the misunderstanding is my fault.

[WarriorDad]

No one else received that email yesterday from the state treasurer?

That is exactly what he was doing.

See buck?  Was that so hard to understand?  You should probably keep your bad takes confined to the baseball thread. 

[buckchuckler]

You were still the one that didn't comprehend it correctly there chief.

And I do pretty much confine my opinions.  I don't feel the need to throw up my ridiculous opinions all over every thread.

[4everwarriors]

The governor is following federal guidelines you know.

Pretty sure the POTUS has clearly stated that, tough he may not be in agreement, the governors will decide the how and the when their state will reopen. Liquor stores, car washes, and even garden centers are apparently essential, hey?

The White House released this...

If you go under criteria, you will see testing "gating criteria" that the state used to construct its "Badger Bounce Back Plan."  Wisconsin has yet to meet these criteria but is trending in the right direction.

So again, Evers is acting on the Trump administration's guidance.

[Warriors4ever]

Hey get over to the Wisconsin thread if you want to discuss Tony Evers......

No, but the program details are here: https://illinoistreasurer.gov/Invest_in_Illinois/Small_Business_COVID-19_Relief_Program

The state is lending in $1MM increments at 0.1% interest to regional/local banks.

Those banks can lend to SMBs at rates not to exceed 4.75%.

Where are they getting the money to lend? 

If the state want to help small business, it could start by paying their own bills that are out 120+ days.  I know of several small businesses that were close to bankruptcy even before this crisis because of money the state owes them.
