*All data are provisional and will change. In order to rapidly report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported in-time. Information is constantly being entered into an electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as additional information is gathered. Information for a death previously reported has changed, therefore, today’s numbers have been adjusted.

Just checked IDPH’s page and IMO they need to hold off on Phase 5 for Regions 1, 5, and 10 because of ICU beds being below 20% for several consecutive days. Only 18% ICU bed availability in Region 1 (NW IL); 16% in Region 5 (SE IL); and 19% in Region 10 (suburban Cook). Chicago Region 11 ICU bed availability has been dropping in recent days too, only down to 21%, so Phase 5 should probably be put on ice for Chicago a little while longer.

Israel (population approximately 8.7 million), the most vaccinated nation using one of the mRNA vaxes, has a 7-day average of 10 new cases a day. Yesterday they had 0. Vaccines work. Mandates (or significant coercion) works too. Keep up the mobile vans, free drinks, lotteries, etc. and hopefully businesses and employers will use their power to require proof of vaxination or 24-hour test result (because few people will hold out if forced to choose).

“Phase 5 should probably be put on ice for Chicago a little while longer.”

Lightfoot doesn’t seem to have a problem with making enemies, but even she won’t cross this line.
