Got excited for the low number (which in and of itself is sad) before remembering that’s it’s Sunday, and numbers are usually artificially low over weekends.

4000+= low?
- Perrid - Sunday, Jan 10, 21 @ 5:02 pm:
Masked, compared to the 10k plus we had pretty much every day throughout November, yeah.

How about reporting the status of vaccines and vaccination in Illinois as well? Nationally it appears maybe 25-30% of vaccine doses have been administered, what’s illinois stats look like? Don’t wait for the Governor to tell you he’s failing. Ask the questions, and if he doesn’t respond, then let us know you’ve actually asked.

The CDC has a website which shows the status of all of the states vaccinations. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations
