Illinois is now #3 in the nation in reported cases. Massachusetts has yet to report as of this writing, but by this time next week, IL should have a firm grip on #3 and running away if current trends continue. The good news, if it can be called that, is that we are nowhere near NY or NJ in cases, deaths, or deaths per million residents.

===Massachusetts has yet===
It’s half our size.

The Massachusetts Measure, if you will, is seeing on a board the number of cases and such and how Illinois, Massachusetts, and California… small, medium, large… are seeing their numbers and mitigating factors; testing, urban areas, hot spots, and how each sees their own numbers to not only their own size and numbers but to a national comparison, solely on… the number.
It’s like New Jersey.
Is New Jersey that large of a hotbed or is its own proximity to New York more the measure to New Jersey’s number and not a measure to its population?

I’m curious to know the number of non-COVID deaths on a daily basis. Are we seeing the same as average for this time of year? So many conspiracy theorists are saying hospitals are reporting all deaths as COVID.
