#2 I do not know a single person in Illinois who isnt p***ed at the extension and the Governors daily preening sessions.
As usual the media is retyping the press releases and enabling this illegal lockdown.

#3 Illinois # of cases is raising, so the orders are obviously ignored - evolution in action?

#4 ...but how wide spread? One size does not fit all. If it is concentrated in one or two identifiable regions, why a whole state?

#6 Welcome to the expanded theory and practice of 'Equality of outcomes.'

What are your questions ?

#7 g(r)omgoru, Illinois is like many mid-western states in that there are two or three population centers. Illinois maybe has 5, if you count the Quad Cites (mostly Iowa) and Champaign–Urbana areas. The rest of the state is pretty rural and there are fair distances between the major population areas. As P2k says, one size does not fit all.

#8 #7 I doubt lockdown is enforced in the country side.

#9 I heard yesterday about a nursing home in downstate Newton, IL (South of Charleston) which had 40 cases. Fatalities, unknown. Other than that, not much being reported.

#10 I suspect an analysis of the nursing homes with high death counts would find they are not catering to the wealthy.

My mom was in a very high priced nursing home up in the San Francisco Bay area. They locked that place down. No guests. No mingling with others. Locked in the room for your own protection. Naturally my brother and I broke her out and she's been living with me now. She was going to go insane in solitary confinement no matter how well meaning, but that facility was not going to have a single Covid death.

#11 Only Covid death I know of is someone had a heart attack because their stent operation was cancelled repeatedly.

#12 Coronavirus deaths double in one week at Illinois nursing homes; have surged past 1,000, data show - Elderly care facilities have accounted for 44% of the state’s coronavirus deaths and nearly one in seven confirmed cases, according to a Sun-Times count.

#13 If I provide one account from family: In one nursing home in the Midwest, all five nurses contracted CV-19. And, in one case, a nurse had to go and test herself. The company that runs the place is not only keeping things under wraps, they will not even tell relatives of the elderly who contract the virus as they are afraid they will get pulled from the nursing home, i.e., lose revenue. Sick, absolutely sick and disgusting.

#15 My mother’s retirement home went in lockdown from the outside world the first day it was announced in Ohio, then three days later stopped activities and allowing residents to come down to the dining room for meals. For the independent living residents, shopping is picked up and delivered to their rooms along with mail and meals, no socializing — including in one another's rooms. My mother, who is somehow loved by everyone, quietly wangled agreement to help the building horticulturist by taking care of the plants in the greenhouse every day, plus she makes a daily trip to the building library. I have no idea how they are handling things on the assisted living and Alzheimer floors.

A few days ago we were notified that one of the staff tested positive and was sent home, so now all staff are to be issued PPEs.

#16 Mama chose a mid-priced facility near us. The higher priced one provided grander surroundings and a much better kitchen, but the atmosphere, Mama said, was depressed rather than cheerful.

#18 From the link at #12 - In some cases, however, nursing homes reported fewer total cases and even fewer deaths than last week, raising questions about the accuracy of the data.

Of course, you fools! It's going up, and up, and up, higher and higher! We're all gonna die!

Meanwhile, CDC data shows respiratory deaths (nationwide) peaked three weeks ago. CDC Data

#22  To have mothered you, who wouldn't :-)

You are ever gallant, my dear. And I am once again shocked that some romantic female did not instantly fall in love with you and drag you off to the alter years ago or last week for saying things like that.
