In reply to the discussion: Daily infections rising in 35 states, hospitalizations up in half the country [View all]ProfessorGAC
(65,010 posts)12. Illinois Is A Mixed Bag
I just looked at the IDPH Restore Illinois site yesterday.
7 of the 11 regions still have 20% or more ICU beds available. 3 were under 20% but more than 15.
One region was under 10%, but flattening.
No region had a positivity rate over 4%, but none were under 2.
Regions were about split evenly between rising & falling cases.
The state as a whole is rising, but less steeply than in the other bad spikes.
On Edit: Worldometer is showing US deaths already at 798,520. Daily deaths smooth to around 1,800 each day.
I wonder if there's a typo in the snip, because this rate takes the country over 850,000.
800,00 appears already a certainty, long before Christmas.
