And unfortunately it will only get worse

No. It's from irresponsibleness.

FYI, the top six worst states today, as has been the past weeks, are all great lakes states IL MN WI IN MI OH So far, these states represent 42% of today's total cases and 36% of today's deaths. Pretty sad

Does this mean that at that rate, herd immunity is simply approximately 3 months away?

I'm not really sure what this is going to accomplish.... CHICAGO — Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday announced a "stay-at-home" advisory — not an order — for 30 days in response to spiking coronavirus cases. The city's advisory takes effect at 6 a.m. Monday. Lightfoot said gatherings will be limited to 10 people. The advisory includes: Do not have gatherings in your home with anybody outside of your household (except for essential staff such as home health care workers or educators), even with trusted family or friends. Avoid all non-essential, out-of-state travel; if travel is essential, quarantining or testing negative prior to travel is required, depending on which state a traveler is originating from. Comply with City and State Orders, including wearing face coverings, limiting gatherings, and mandating early closure of non-essential businesses at 11pm. Practice social distancing and avoid touching surfaces frequently touched by others if you go outside to get fresh air. Use remote modes of communication like phone or video chat instead of visiting friends or family, especially on holidays such as Thanksgiving.

and of course, a bunch of people are protesting it.... To me, it's like a seatbelt. I'm not understand what the big deal is given what is going on.

more baseless claims in senseless posts

I really feel for the health care workers... ugh

Not the Fauci flip flop talk again. Seemingly a failed administration only has that left to hold on to when they’ve failed us all miserably in terms of organization and leadership.

Pretty bleak outlook of what's to come....

I am talking with clients that over the next few weeks into Thanksgiving are traveling as if business as usual

My math tells me that’s 5%, not 50%

I am thinking that IL will hit 10k per day by the end of the week - a sad accomplishment

Can't wait to get back to the days of going weenie over November snows.

Lol.

When people involved in government continue to publicly declare this over or that ‘it’s no big deal’ or that there were “only” 1,000 deaths, 100k infections a day is the start of the path to 200k per day in the not too distant future. It’s really sad.

Of course, aren’t there always????

Yeah but to a few that’s just fat people right? Forget that their lives matter, along with all the lives of those caring for them.

Agreed. When the football team goes on a bad losing streak, who gets fired?

So here’s a reality check. One of the students in my sons class tested positive over the weekend. My son developed sniffles, cough, sore throat but no fever. A neighbor down the street had the same symptoms. She tested positive on Sunday. I took my son to get tested today - the place was packed and we had a reservation. I was fortunate to get this as I have a supplemental physical to my primary that helped me find an appointment. At least 40 people/cars in line - this is where his pediatrician suggested we go for rapid testing and then come to them for a parking lot strep test just in case to rule out most overly contagious things. The pediatrics office had 12 cars in line for kid testing of covid. To register for a backup test, you have to get up at midnight and register for your spot. I did this at midnight - they filled in 40 seconds for the day. All facilities (18 of them) for this particular testing place filled by 12:02am. there still aren’t enough tests for people and the rates are as high as they are. There’s no efforts to control any of this. After experiencing just this (my son tested negative, thankfully) I really feel for healthcare workers dealing with this. They are only going to be under more pressure over the next few weeks/months after having done so much and put themselves in situations beyond their control. to then see a mass rally on tv with maybe 50% masks is simply infuriating.
