Coronavirus: 6 more days and it will be all over.

Sorry to hear that...maybe, with a bit of care, you will recover.

While the case numbers and hospitalization numbers are growing all across the mid-west and other parts of the country, we are still plagued with deniers of reality that without doubt are a part of the problem spreading the disease about through their total disregard for the safety and health of others.

Pathetic.

Chicago mayor, Illinois governor clash over coronavirus restrictions
Gov. Pritzker plans to curtail indoor dining beginning Friday
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/chicag ... ions-clash

Mayor Lori Lightfoot warned Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s planned rollback of coronavirus reopenings will have a devastating impact on the city’s economy just as it is beginning to recover from the damage caused by earlier lockdowns.

Pritzker on Tuesday ordered Chicago’s bars and restaurants to curtail indoor dining options beginning Friday due to a recent surge in new COVID-19 infections.

Chicago has seen eight straight days of increases in its seven-day rolling average test positivity rate, which reached 7.8% on Friday. Hospital admissions have increased for seven consecutive days. Cities across the country are facing similar reversals of reopening plans as case counts reach new heights.

Pritzker’s order comes as the harsh Chicago winter approaches, leaving many restaurants with take-out as their only means of business.

CHICAGO SECURITY GUARD STABBED 27 TIMES AFTER ASKING SHOPPERS TO MASK UP AMID CORONAVIRUS

“If the governor’s order goes into effect, it’s really effectively shutting down a significant portion of our economy” when many businesses are hanging on by a thread, Lightfoot told PBS.

Lockdowns ordered by Pritzker in March that were aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19 caused Chicago’s economy to contract by 10% and forced hundreds of businesses to permanently close their doors. Scores were left fighting for their survival.

On the news this morning in Wisconsin that more than 80% of the population knows of someone who has either had it, has it, or has died from it.

Pretty good odds that it's not a fake disease that's going away next week at least in Wisconsin. Have to figure that what's going on in Europe will follow here in a week or 3.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Self preservation is the name of the game and you err on the side of caution.

I think his reference to "eight more days and this will all be over" is to the idea that after the election we won't hear about it very often.
Head in the sand.

I guess everyone should gleefully, willingly give up their freedom and liberty and economy for car wrecks, heart attack, strokes, cancer, flu.

Nope. None of that's even remotely relevant. Attempting to connect/link any of those together is simple childish irrational ranting.

Pretty sure car wrecks, heart attack, strokes, cancer are not contagious and in some cases many can actually be prevented; some a lot more than others! But we pretty much gave up trying to cure cancer a long time ago in favor of turning it into a chronic affliction. Flu has a vaccine every year vs. nothing being done at all. Even with a vaccine too many die from flu.

However, most do fall under what a Nat'l heath are system might improve over the current hodge-podge dominated by pharma and insurance companies deciding your health care for you.

If that becomes a fact then the government will decide your health care. Will that make you feel better,,,

New Jersey coronavirus hospitalizations surpass 1,000
https://www.foxnews.com/health/new-jers ... rpass-1000

As of Thursday, the state’s coronavirus death toll had reached over 16,320

New Jersey’s number of hospitalized coronavirus patients snuck up past 1,000 on Tuesday for the first time since July. Earlier this week, the state reported 1,010 patients remained hospitalized, adding another 62 to the total on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy called the state’s recent increase in COVID cases “sobering.”

“We’re reporting 1,663 new positive cases, pushing our cumulative total to 231,331,” he wrote on Twitter. “These numbers are sobering. We are still in the midst of a pandemic and need everyone to take this seriously. Wear a mask. Social distance. Wash your hands.”

A follow-up tweet mentioned an additional 14 deaths. As of Thursday, the state’s death toll had reached over 16,320.

The state has been grappling with a recent spike in infections, although Murphy told Fox 5 New York that the numbers remain lower than what officials were seeing in the spring.

On Tuesday, Newark announced a series of restrictions that will be enforced for the next two weeks in order to stifle an impending spike in COVID-19 cases. All stores except supermarkets, pharmacies and gas stations are ordered to close at 8 p.m., all restaurants and bars must end indoor service at 8 p.m. and outdoor service at 11 p.m., and all patrons must undergo screening before entering.

Barbershops, beauty parlors and nail salons must return to an appointment-only format and all gyms must sanitize for 30 minutes every hour. All sports activities and open park practices and games in East Ward have been canceled.

“Newark is discouraging all parties, indoor and outdoor festivals, and large family gatherings until further notice,” an update on the city’s website said, adding that trick-or-treating this weekend is “strongly discouraged.”

Murphy also signed an executive order this week mandating workplace safety protocols.
