Chicago Mayor Orders Curfew on Liquor Stores

After a violent Tuesday night of shootings that left 7 dead and 14 injured, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot ordered the city’s liquor stores to close at 9:00 pm.  CBS Chicago reports that the curfew will remain in force until the city’s stay-at-home order is lifted on April 30.  Gun violence and gatherings violating the order have been occurring frequently in the windy city since people were told to stay home and practice social distancing on March 21.  Over 2,000 dispersal orders have been issued in response to large gatherings including parties and eleven citations with fines of up to $5,000 have been given to bars, restaurants and other businesses considered non-essential which had remained open.

  Mayor Lightfoot’s personal commitment to the stay-at-home order was questioned after CBS reported that her hairdresser posted a photo of the two of them last Sunday after she did her hair.  The Mayor told reporters that she was practicing social distancing because the hairdresser had a mask and gloves on.  Does anybody see a mask, gloves or distancing in this photo?
