    That was wild!  I was out with the dogs when that came through.  I was wondering what just happened as it seemingly came out of nowhere and caught me and my dogs by surprise!

    I think we see a dramatic rise in cases for several months but deaths won't likely keep up with the trends of previous months due to better treatment. Vaccines likely start early next year. Going to be a rough couple months though.

    Just curious, what is the better treatment being done now that wasn't being used in the first few months?

    Just gonna leave this here.

    Those of you who believe Trump's actions do not directly impede efforts to curb Covid are a bunch of colossally ignorant morons. 

    What else would you really do though besides going into a complete lockdown?  Here in Chicago you can't go anywhere without a mask on and restrictions have been in place since nearly the beginning of all of this and the numbers still continue to shoot up.

    Not the main event but a co-worker just called me in the Cal City/Lansing/South burbs of Chicago and said there are many many spinouts and accidents right now and the roads are about as bad as he's ever seen them.  Not sure what's causing this but I figure this is a good place to let someone know.

    Same here as well.  Lot of coworkers said they have been spinning out with black ice everywhere.
