IWXwx Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 My next door neighbor had to be hospitalized last night due to difficulty breathing. He tested positive and was symptomatic. He is 59 and fairly healthy other than he was a smoker, but quit less than a year ago. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget that their lives matter, along with all the lives of those caring for them. Just to point out, it's just not "fat" or obesity. There are other underlying conditions as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Illinois restaurants visited by police for defying state’s order against in-door dining NEW ATHENS, Ill. – Illinois bars and restaurants who are defying Governor J.B. Pritzker’s Wednesday order of no indoor dining are getting visits from police. A bar owner in New Athens says she’s had enough and is rebelling against the COVID restrictions. New Athens, Illinois in southern St. Clair County is a town of about 2,000 people who live for their independence and freedom; but then came the COVID restrictions. “You couldn’t go to bars, you can’t dance, you can’t congregate. First it was 10 people, then it was 50, then it was back to 10. Nobody really knows what to do,” said Karla Blades, owner of the Nail Bar. https://wgntv.com/news/coronavirus/illinois-restaurants-visited-by-police-for-defying-states-order-against-in-door-dining/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 97k cases on Covid Tracking. Worldometers tends to run a bit higher and probably will eclipse 100k on there. Where will we be a month from now on the higher reporting days ? 125k cases? 150k? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America needs to take action now My cousin has a high up position at one of the hospitals here in northwest IN and I am hearing some concerning stuff. It's manageable for now but they are having to make some adjustments in resources and the real problem is if it keeps growing quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are still getting 800-1000 deaths/day a couple weeks from now then yeah that will be pretty suspicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanDe680 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 When people involved in government continue to publicly declare this over or that ‘it’s no big deal’ or that there were “only” 1,000 deaths, 100k infections a day is the start of the path to 200k per day in the not too distant future. It’s really sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big wake up call to people who think being fat is ok. For people with cancer, Type 1 Diabetes, congenital heart and circulatory problems, asthma, and any other lung diseases, it absolutely matters if they had a president who actively worked to mitigate this disease. There hasn’t been a COVID task force meeting in weeks and 30% of the country is programmed into thinking that the worst is behind us, so they’ll be even more lax in their social distancing/mask wearing/hand washing, while daily cases are reaching record highs and deaths are just starting to creep up to 1,000/day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertSul Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 ~1,000 deaths a day off of the 71,000 cases 2 weeks ago. We’re up to 100,000 new cases today, and there’s no indication of a flattening trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think we see a dramatic rise in cases for several months but deaths won't likely keep up with the trends of previous months due to better treatment. Vaccines likely start early next year. Going to be a rough couple months though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The growth we are on isn't sustainable. Something's gotta give at some point, whether it's from the governor or local/county officials. Doesn't mean a large scale shutdown but at least some tinkering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
