The seven-day rolling average of vaccines administered daily is 30,737 doses.
That is a huge increase - a few weeks ago that number was around 17,000

5.9% positivity and schools haven’t even started. Time to implement mandatory masks again. Hospitals require them.

Was just notified that a staff member tested positive today in Mom’s long term care facility in east central IL.
In-person visits will be unavailable for 2 weeks… if no one else tests positive during that time.
It’s back to the window for now.
Sigh
Things are not looking good.
