Illinois has had a 107% increase in covid cases in the last 14 days. pritzker will end up ordering a lockdown, but so many people will ignore it that it probably won’t help. Hopefully will keep at least some people who are in the office working for home.

At this point, it’s going to be brutal regardless of the mitigation steps. There is no putting the toothpaste back in the tube. We have never been proactive during the pandemic. We are always reactive, usually caught with our pants down. The virus is winning, and plainly, kicking our ass handily. All the zombie movies make sense now. I totally understand how something spreads so damn fast.

Illinois with 15,415 new cases and 27 deaths
-
5,708 new cases in IN with 50 additional deaths.

Hearing from a physician (aka my sister) that hospitals in the LaSalle/Peru, Sandwich, and DeKalb areas have all beds full. Illinois spent millions in the spring to build the field hospital which saw 12 patients. Now we may actually need it.

My guess is that there is some political strategy to this, to soften the “blow” when it becomes an order. “We asked you to comply, and you didn’t. So it’s now a stay at home order.” Will be interesting to see how well employers comply.

2020 Short/Medium Range Severe Thread

Nice bowing segment headed towards Rockford. -
I believe there were similar dissenters/protesting when seat belts were mandated. Big difference is that if you don’t wear a seatbelt, you’re only harming yourself. My risk of car accident death is unchanged by your decision. That’s not the same with the mask mandate

Pritzker mentioned more restrictions during his news conference yesterday, and I would be almost certain that my region (region 1) will be the first to have further mitigation restrictions. Yesterday we had a mind boggling positivity rate of 15.8% with 633 new cases. The university continues to be a hot spot of cases, and heading into the holidays will be a time bomb of new cases. "Sorry I gave you COVID grandma, but that turkey and stuffing really is to die for."
-
And with deaths being a lagging indicator, the uptick in cases will translate to a significant upswing in deaths soon.
-
I believe that takes IL over 10,000 deaths total.
-
Looks like we may get some baller late fall weather to start the month, who knows from there.

Being a lifelong Illinois resident, I remember being so confused the first time I traveled to the southern Caribbean during the summer and the sun set at 5:30pm. I had no concept that latitude/daylight savings time pushed our sunset back so far during the summer months.

Solid flakes this morning. Had to break out the scraper to clear the windshield.
-
No kidding, need a coat to leave for work this morning, a light jacket coming home for lunch, and shorts for the ride home
-
Picked up nearly 2.5" of rain overnight with some quality boomers.

I don’t want to hear any winter complaining from the central Iowa folks. They have had a couple of high end/abnormal events lately. Time to share the wealth.

Its 2020. Plan on your highs in the teens for Halloween.
-
No frost here this morning, bottomed at 34.

Central Illinois near Cerro Gordo. Someone either got the truck stuck or smoked out the engine...

Ballin' from Halloween to Valentines Day. Then Morch 2.0

Man, I knew they were dry, but that is insane.

Nice widespread heavy frost this morning. Got down to 31.
