1. Will county is getting out of hand

2. Thanksgiving spike will arrive next week, if it arrives at all.

   Would be good to see new cases drift lower before that spike comes.

   That didn’t happen today.

3. We are 14 days from Thanksgiving.

   The spike would be showing itself over the past few days and trending higher right now. No evidence yet to see that holiday gatherings made things that much worse.

4. This could be it. This could be the beginning of a spike.

   We will know a lot more throughout the week and probably Tuesday of next week just how bad it really is.

   Lets hope it stays level.

5. =Thanksgiving spike will arrive next week, if it arrives at all.=

   @Cool Papa Bell has it correctly. The spike, if there was one started last week.

   In our schools we are not seeing a spike and numbers are down from before Thanksgiving.

6. DeKalb County’s rate of cases is starting to drop, but rate of deaths is climbing rapidly compared to past weeks. We’ve had 5 deaths in 5 days this week for a pandemic total of 53 as of yesterday.

7. Here’s an interesting stat I just looked up. 30 of the 50 states, including Illinois, have a per capita COVID death rate worse than Sweden’s. At one time, Sweden was looked at by many to be the poster country for a lack of COVID-preventative measures.

8. Well back above 10k not good

   Comment by Frank talks Thursday, Dec 10, 20 @ 6:53 pm

9. Every spike we have had because of a holiday has taken 3-4 weeks to start showing up. So, no @JS Mill and @Papabear, we would not already be seeing it. Not to mention that 14 day count assumes that everyone that becomes infected will have caught it Thursday. Black Friday or flights back on Sunday are more likely.

10. Vaccine please. Time to get on with it.
