CHICAGO — Mayor Lori Lightfoot is back on social media with more new coronavirus crisis comedy skits.

This time the mayor offers up a list of things to do while staying home to save lives revolving on a solitary theme — fill out the 2020 Census during the stay-at-home order.

Some of her ideas: Get outside to check your mail for 2020 Census reminders. Order a pizza to support local restaurants and enjoy that pizza while filling out the Census forms online.
