Oso planning to go pro
Heard from a buddy who is is the EHS Director at a big plant in the burbs lockdown is coming to IL really soon. Statewide. Then just saw this tweet. https://twitter.com/BernieGlavin/status/1240732954017611777?s=09
Heard the numbers out of Cook County are going to be staggering.
I would not be shocked. But I would expect it to be in line with most other major metropolitan areas.What are you hearing?
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
“Staggering” honestly that’s it. Also, that there’s a concern of hysteria.
I live in Chicago. I’m sure we will have high numbers like New York, with our density, but I’m not seeing anything close to hysteria. People are calm, grocery stores and pharmacies are orderly.
FWIW, most neighborhoods in the big east coast cities are about twice as dense as the densest neighborhoods of Midwest cities.
My fav part of the announcement today, other than Pritzker looking unbelievably uncomfortable up there, was him comparing this to the Great Chicago Fire as a setback Chicago will bounce back from. Not dramatic at all! And then the creative liberties in describing Chicago as a “small midwestern town” before the fire, that grew to something great. There is no doubt that Chicago benefited greatly from a redesign and fresh start, but it was larger than Boston, DC, and anywhere not named NYC or Philly, it wasn’t some fledgling outpost.
We were actually smaller than St. Louis at the time of the fire.
Uncle sent me this today. It's up on Devon.
