Same thing here in Illinois. Just under 1,000 for the first time in weeks.

[cheebs09]

Is any of this due to the holiday delaying number releases?

[tower912]

Doubtful.

13 nuns in a convent.    Sounds like the start of several old jokes.      Sadly, no joke.

Closing down.   First steps, closing bars, limiting indoor gatherings to 10, outdoor to 100.

Not COVID related, but still awkward.

At least he didn't assault players running down the sidelines.

That got caught on camera.

It finally happened.   Two members of my fire department have tested positive for COVID.   Two stations temporarily closed for deep cleaning.

Oh good luck tower.

Stay safe, man. Scoop needs ya as much as the department.

I predicted months ago that if members of my department caught COVID, it would be off duty, as we have OCD when it comes to PPE on our alarms.

A wedding reception for one of our co-workers.   3 confirmed, 8 in isolation.


As of 19:45, EDT, 5 confirmed, 22 in isolation.

Sucks to hear.  Stay healthy

[tower912]

Of the 40 who were quarantined as of Thursday, 35 were able to return to duty already.   Waiting on test results for the others.   8 tested positive, one symptomatic.


So, bullet mostly dodged.    Hopefully, wisdom gleaned.

[tower912]

Fall sports postponed until spring.    If ever.   

[tower912]

And this is why it sucks to be in charge...

779 new COVID cases.   20 deaths.
College professors are signing letters and petitioning to have all college classes virtual this fall.
3 More MSU athletes testing positive.
Courts rule she hasn't overstepped her boundaries.
Republicans trying to use a Michigan constitutional loophole to strip her of her emergency powers anyway.
B1G rumors blaming her for single handedly stopping Big 10 football.
Theaters and bowling alleys in the southern 2/3 of the state saying it isn't fair that theaters and bowling alleys in relatively quiet COVID areas get to open while the ones in hot spots can't.   

The joys and challenges of being in the big seat.

Bog Gretchen said the state recommended against football, but that it should be the MHSAA's decision.   90 minutes later, football is on starting September 18.  I am honestly glad my kid does not play football.

What are the rules behind other sports? Or was it made solely for football?

[tower912]

All sports are open.

[tower912]

Second round starting in my department.  Last time led to 13 positive and up to 40 quarantined.   Hopefully, we get a lid in it faster this time, as we are simultaneously preparing for non-peaceful demonstrations.

This round's patient zero caught it from his college age daughter.

Interesting news out of your home state today, tower.

There's good people on both sides.

Yup.   Those guys are pretty close to home for me.     Although it looks like one of the big organizational meetings took place in Ohio.     

Jockey beat me to the punchline.     Dammit.   

And I am suddenly flashing back to those whackadoodles with the AR-15's protesting at and inside the capitol.   

[The Sultan]

Ohio's been conquering Michigan on the football field for years, might as well just take the state over.
