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.
