Illinois reported 3,467 new COVID cases and 8 new deaths Friday. Multiple Chicago area counites have been raised to a 'medium' risk level.

The Illinois Dept. of Public Health says "daily deaths reported on weekends and at the beginning of the week may be low" and "those deaths will be captured in subsequent days."COVID-19 transmission has been raised to a "medium" risk level in Cook County as well as Lake, DuPage and McHenry counties, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The latest data shows just about 34% of Chicagoans in that age group are up to date on their shots. But those are also the people who face some of the greatest risks. While the bivalent booster has been available for people over 65 for months, seniors have been slow to get it. According to Chicago Department of Public Health, only 1 in 3 of Chicagoans over 65 have received the shot - and it's the same group that is driving an increase in COVID hospitalizations.

"A lot of patients will say you know I did pretty good, I managed to get through the pandemic and I didn't get COVID, so why do I still need to get the COVID booster," Dr. Roberts said.

Besides a 'why is this news' in a state of 13MM people, who runs your spell check? 'counites'?

who cares

Maybe it’s the thousands of illegals unvaccinated crossing the border every day?

What does this mean? It's Friday... 'The Illinois Dept. of Public Health says 'daily deaths reported on weekends and at the beginning of the week may be low' and 'those deaths will be captured in subsequent days.'
