The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for cases as a percent of total test from October 26 – November 1 is 8.1%. This is the number that IDPH has been consistently reporting in its daily releases and is calculated using total cases over total tests. Similar to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, IDPH has been using test positivity for regional mitigation metrics on its website since mid-July. Test positivity is calculated using the number of COVID-19 positive tests over total tests. On October 29, 2020, IDPH began reporting the statewide test positivity in its daily releases. The preliminary seven-day statewide test positivity from October 26, 2020 – November 1, 2020 is 9.7%.
Case positivity and test positivity rate are both relevant and offer insight into the bigger COVID-19 picture. Case positivity helps us understand whether changes in the number of confirmed cases is due to more testing or due to more infections. Whereas, test positivity accounts for repeated testing and helps us understand how the virus is spreading in the population over time.
*All data are provisional and will change. In order to rapidly report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported in real-time. Information is constantly being entered into an electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as additional information is gathered.

Its time to lock down indoor spaces. Nobody should be going to work in any job if they can do the same job from home.
A friend told me her coworker at a smaller state agency was crying because she is scared to go into her state agency for work because the Director has everyone in the office.
Another person told me that someone was coughing at their agency and everyone just avoided them but the manager did nothing.
This virus is here and creeping in every place where we all share the same air.

Name the state agencies.
See something, say something.
If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
If a tree falls in a forest, but it isn’t on Capitolfax, it doesn’t make a sound.
This director and manager are not following the governor’s directive. Help the governor.

Stl Post Dispatch reported over the weekend at least 15 Missouri high school football teams had to forfeit their playoff games. Each team had players test positive for Covid.

We’ve reached a point where any minor gesture of self-sacrifice (wearing a mask) is considered too large a burden by many. Anything that doesn’t feel completely gratifying in the moment should not be done. Undergoing any minor inconvenience out of concern for other human beings is too often viewed as weakness. I hope tomorrow is one small step toward turning that backward mentality around.

While not offically, new leadership tomorrow. If anything it will lift spirits.

Anecdotally heard of many that had indoor maskless Halloween parties on Saturday. People are being selfish and it’s part of the reason I sympathize with those missing out on their senior season of basketball and restaurant owners who are wearing masks, spacing out tables, updating ventilation, etc.. and still having to close. If you don’t shut down everything, it starts to look pretty unfair for those that are being forced to shut down.

Up by me you can’t eat in a restaurant with your family even though your socially distancing but if the same restaurant has gambling machines it’s okay to sit a foot apart from strangers and touch the same buttons over and over. Apparently, covid doesn’t transmit when playing.
