      Cook county says, "Hold my beer."

      My little burg has 34 cases, the town to the east has 382, and the town to the east of that has about 797. East of that is Chicago. To the north of us, there's 34, and to the west of us there are 63.

      The scary thing is that our local grocer reported that one of their employees has it - I believe I mentioned that.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          I’m having trouble understanding how much increased testing will drive up numbers versus new medical hot spots. How are we going to differentiate?

            We're not, at first.

            SK is averaging 3.4% positive rate on their tests. Ours is close to 20.

            Only non-witches get due process.

                About 50/50.

                I use instacart for groceries (had a yuge delivery last Saturday). When I go to our local store, it's mask and gloves.
