COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
So sounds like this week gets a boost of 4 million J&J vaccines, then pretty much just moderna/pfizer next week, and then the last two weeks will get the majority of the promised 20 million. I know 1C was slated for April 1st, seems like they can hit it earlier, that includes a big group of workers still forced to go in office/place of work (restaurant workers, construction, etc). I'd hope by end of this week they consider moving that target up since it seems like at-risk conditions becomes a bit of a free for all with places not wanting to deal with actually verifying the condition (for obvious reasons).

lotta talk about soldier field during this doldrums after Hoge wrote an article about converting Arlington to the next soldier field in a massive complex. I am mostly against suburban stadiums, mainly for how often suburban people feel like it will be in a suburb near them and not like, them traveling all the way east to then get on a north highway then back northwest, etc. But I don't really care with soldier field. A couple reasons: - The bears history with soldier field isn't even that impressive and I think it's kinda weird how attached people are to it. It's not like sox/cubs or even hawks where you could point to a location it's always been. Bears have just this year had as long of a playing history at Soldier Field that they had at Wrigley. - Football attendance isn't a casual event. With there being only 8 games a year at home, it's an all day event you want to be there at a stadium/parking lot for. Soldier field is particularly bad at creating this with its lack of tailgating space, and people aren't going to just lug stuff over a LSD from a nearby parking lot. The liveable part of the city it is closest to is not even particularly lively on a Sunday. Basically long way of saying this stadium is on an island within the city. The whole point of soldier field is the lake, and when you are in t, who cares. And when you are outside it, it makes the lake uglier somehow. - It's lack of seating was a hinderance during the olympic bid, and continues to be a drag for getting some events - Being an outdoor stadium prevents the bears from getting the super bowl So, anyway yeah I don't get the nostalgia for it and it prevents a lot of important things for city/franchise. But McCaskeys will overrate the affinity for it when it's just people's lazy status quo preference.

Illinois will enter March with an 80k/day pace. The US breaks new record with 2.4 million in a day. And now we are about to get big supply increases. LFG
