  1. Good news on hospitalizations but everything else is going in the wrong direction. And 238 deaths? Wow. Just awful.

  2. 238 deaths spread over 60 counties out of 102. That is a wow moment as Chicago Cynic noted. This virus as we know has no borders and this clearly shows being rural does not keep you safe. This is beyond sad.

  3. what’s going on in Livingston county? A lot of deaths for a relatively small area and while it does have a prison, that is a men’s prison and the deceased are 5/7 women.
