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.

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.
-
Yeah. Raked pretty good with some large trees down. Overall tame compared to the stuff in Iowa earlier
-
Had what appeared to be a quick spin up dropping right over sycamore. Never got more than halfway down
-
CAPE through the roof in N. IL. (4500-5000) powder keg ready to blow.

Hopefully all the looted businesses in the loop reinforce that plywood covering the windows...

Absolutely insane for a non-tornadic storm.
-
Man, the Chicago metro is screwed with the path this line is maintaining. Gonna be wild for @A-L-E-K to watch this thing roll in.
-
Cedar Rapids is lined up to get rocked
-
SPC throwing out the "D" word. SUMMARY...A derecho will rapidly progress across eastern Iowa and northern Illinois this afternoon.

-
Moderate risk pretty much I-80ish to the WI border from IA across IL to IN
-
Looking like this one may be thread worthy. Iowa already rocking with multiple wind reports across the state.
-
May as well go for a high score
-
This thing is rocking already. Warned for 80mph gusts.

Had been ignoring the models while I did a "quick" swingset project that my wife suggested (it took 22 hours of labor), but I am pretty pumped about the potential for this area. Upstream looks solid, and SPC is in catch up mode.
