NAPERVILLE, IL — When it comes to the new coronavirus stay-at-home order, some Naperville residents support it, whereas others are long over it. The feedback comes after Mayor Steve Chirico said in a Facebook post last week, “We need to begin opening up our economy May 1.”
The post, shared on Chirico’s personal Facebook page and not in a political setting, came before Gov. J.B. Pritzker extended the stay-at-home order into May. Nonetheless, Chirico’s comments still managed to elicit a passionate response from some Naperville residents.
We Need To Begin Opening Up Our Economy May 1: Mayor Chirico
When Patch shared an article about Chirico’s comments on its Naperville Patch Facebook page, one Facebook user commented, “I’m just going to say we will all die! No one knows who could die from it and who lives. Opening the economy will mean it’s more likely that you could die from it… so yes we are all going to die from it! Stay at home!”
