91 divoc not only does county level but also region. I don't think it's updated to the new regions yet but does northeast, Chicago, etc which is still really useful

Wisconsin's governor announced mandatory masks in indoor public places starting Saturday. I live in the Rockford area and a lot of people around here go up there to shop because they don't like wearing a mask. Others go up to places like Lake Geneva and party it up in crowds every weekend.

You can imagine the pearl clutching going on on Facebook right now.

Although I'd expect that Wisconsin's insane GOP will sue immediately, and take it to their insane SC, which will inevitably overturn the order.

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and health officials confirm that stricter guidelines, similar to Chicago, will be announced Friday to address increasing COVID-19 numbers throughout the county.

But details about the guidelines had not yet been released early Friday morning.

Cook County health officials will only say the stricter guidelines will be similar to Chicago, where there have been more restrictions on bars, restaurants and fitness centers.
"It would be fair to say that I think we're looking at some of those, some of those same kinds of measures," said Demian Christiansen, Cook County's director of communicable disease control and prevention. "We obviously don't want it to get out of control, like we've seen in some other areas. We definitely want to put a lid on as much of this as possible."

I can't believe Loyola (the hospital) fully reopened their fitness center last week.

Will County health officials are trying to track down dozens of Lincoln-Way East graduates and chaperones who recently attended a student-organized prom in Indiana after a “couple” of attendees tested positive for the coronavirus.

The event had been planned since April.

“We’re aware of it,” Steve Brandy, a Will County Health Department spokesman, said Wednesday. “Contact tracers are getting in touch with people who were there.”

The effort comes after tracers talked to a couple of people who were at the function and who tested positive for COVID-19, he said. Brandy said he did not know the exact number and whether the positive cases were Lincoln-Way East recently graduated seniors or chaperones.

Not COVID related.

On 5/22/20, I filled out the online application for an Illinois Firearms Operator ID. It's supposed to take 30 days + up to 10 days for it to arrive in the mail.

George Floyd was murdered on 5/25, and after that the number of FOID applications went up from ~17 a day to over 4,000 in a single day.

It's 8/2/20 and my application is now "under review." I think this is the part that is supposed to take 30 days.

I'm in favor of the FOID, but I am concerned that the state missing deadlines like this is going to get it struck down in court, which I think would be bad overall. It's already been gutted so as not to apply to anyone from out-of-state within Illinois.

Not really any agenda here. I'm a little annoyed that I don't have it yet, but some days I feel like I don't really want a firearm and somedays I feel like I would be better off having one. (Never mind that the stock of guns is pretty dry everywhere). Also, if my in-laws catch COVID, I'm going to suddenly have a windfall of firearms to deal with, so having an FOID on hand would make *that* whole thing less of a hassle.

Out of the three times I've had to deal with getting/renewing a FOID, two of them were stupidly bad.

The first time I renewed mine the person keyed my address in wrong so it was returned to them by the mail. Rather than trying to contact me, they just sat on it until I called them.

When my wife applied for hers, they had a batch of cards that went to print that got lost, including hers. After a while she contacted them and even though it was their error, they made us pay another application fee.

Foid is covid related. They had huge backlogs prior to covid (60k in January) and it immediately got worse when the shutdown happened. People like me who did renewals are supposedly grandfathered while it processes , but new potential owners are poo poo outta luck

It's a horrible system and hopefully these delays will get it thrown out in court someday. i applied to renew mine in early april and don't expect to get it this year

As an example of how bad covid messed up the state on top of is normal delays and backlogs, the PPACA/Obamacare will sometimes? Often? Always? Refer applications where you have a child dependent to the state of Illinois to review. My early December application didn't get reviewed and denied until mid June.

Yeah there's a big mixture here of relief and desperation here. I get it; my family is very privileged to work 100% from home. Not everyone is so lucky, and there's just not sufficient social support for kids who need more help than parents can provide. Or for parents who can't do remote learning with their kids.

Give me the secret to the anti-puppet equation!

District 87 doing remote until January it looks like, as well. I saw an article earlier in the week which mentioned only 40 teachers in all of district 87 had signed up to do in person, so I think the guess that they couldn't get enough teachers to do it is probably spot on.

In Oswego 308, they also stressed budgetary concerns. It was going to cost $5m more for one semester with the (seriously inadequate) mitigation they had in planned.

Pretty sure all the ‘just until September’ remote schools are just waiting for the inevitable spike in cases from schools dumb enough to open in person so they can point and say ‘yeah we WERE going to do in person but it’s obviously a bad idea so lol no.’ It’ll keep the chuds quiet if they think it’s only for two weeks.

And in my area, all of the schools will be in person in order to help provide an example to the other schools.

I am guessing that we will get into a month before they close it down again. Hopefully in that time, I can get my students prepared for remote learning (what it is going to be like, what are my expectations, what should be their expectations, etc) and I hope my daughters (3rd and 5th grades) can become connected with their teachers (first time either of them have had a male teacher) so remote learning will not be as awkward.

The police shot someone in Englewood last night. There was a near riot there as the public found out, the cops attacked the crowds, beat a kid where there was blood on the ground and it could have gotten more ugly before a bunch of community organizers arrived and cooled things down.

Last night there was what seems like fairly organized looting downtown and in other wealthy areas.

Best I can tell is that the police shot a 15 year old yesterday. Understandably, many people were upset with that event. The CPD mobilized, and started patrolling the area armed with assault rifles, and things just kinda escalated.

I am not sure if the looters started as protest groups, or were just roving large groups of angry people upset about yesterday’s event (and the falloff of unemployment benefits/eviction protections). This all pieced together from some other protest threads here in SA.
