Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois holds a daily news briefing on the CV-19 pandemic, the start of which has Illinois' Public Health Director, Dr. Ngozi Ezeki, citing new cases and deaths stats in a somber tone...

Melody: Star Spangled Banner:

O, why do you pee
On our prized liberty
Our lives have gone stale
Our homes are now jails

You are just a politician
Half your facts are just fiction
Your so-called 'epidemiologists'
Are actually necrologists

And your Dr. Ngozi Ezike
Delivers stats in a way
To make death sound like relief
From your daily news brief

O, say do your restrictions
Feel just like CV afflictions --
In this land of Illinois
There's just no more joy


     PLAY BALL! ~
  NO, SORRY! OOPS!
  DON'T PLAY BALL!!

"Our homes are now jails" - I am not originally from Missouri, but I teach there and I want to see the NAMES of all of these so called "COVID19" victims as I truly want to be shown why I am a prisoner, for not sure I believe.
