When the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) says that it is fully adopting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new masking guidelines, it's a pretty safe bet that others will follow suit.
When there's enough talk about disallowing people who are unvaccinated against COVID-19 access to airplanes, trains, buses, schools, universities, etc., it should come as no surprise that fake certificates are available for a price.
The big topic of conversation is whether or not elementary, middle, or high school students will be required to wear masks during the upcoming school year.
While Governor Pritzker and his administration are saying "Hey! Get yourself vaccinated against COVID-19 and you could win a pile of money in a vax lottery," The University of Illinois is saying "You want to be a student here? Get vaccinated."
Governor Pritzker figures that you might need an incentive to go out and get vaccinated against COVID-19, even after 70 percent of the state's adults have received at lease one vaccine dose.
