Attention Hoopeston visual artists: Your city needs your skills!
The Hoopeston Historical Preservation Commission is looking for a logo for Hoopeston’s sesquicentennial next year and is turning to current and former residents to come up with creations.
The winning designer will receive $100 for the effort, compliments of Just the Facts. “I’m pleased to partner with the commission on this effort,” said Just the Facts publisher Lourdine Florek. “As the commission has worked on the sesquicentennial, it has used examples from the 1971 centennial as a backdrop. I’m sure those who will put together the bicentennial in 2071 will look at what was done in 2021. It will be an important part of Hoopeston history.”
There is no specific theme or slogan for the sesquicentennial so artists are free to let their imaginations flow to create in their medium of choice, whether it is paint, photography, digital or mixed media. Designs may be submitted digitally or in hard copy and should be no larger than 5 MB. Designs may be in black and white or color. Artists should check their designs before submission assure the design is visually appealing in black and white. Digital submissions, in either PDF or JPG format, may be emailed to Florek at publish@justthefacts.net. She will make sure designs fit the guidelines before sending them to the commission, which will choose the winning design, which will be used in materials marking the celebration.
Hard copy submissions may be taken to Hoopeston City Hall, 301 W. Main St.
The deadline for both is December 1, 2020. The commission will review submissions and announce its choice at the Community Awards Ceremony in January 2021.
Organizers hope Hoopeston’s sesquicentennial will be a weeklong event starting Sunday, June 27, 2021, and culminating with fireworks and other events on Saturday, July 3, 2021. Without enough donations and volunteers, the anniversary may have to be cut back to a one-day event, said Mayor Bill Crusinberry.
For more information, or to volunteer to help with sesquicentennial events, contact a commission member - Marta Pierce, Brad Hardcastle, Jeanette Andre, Kristy Kelnhofer, Valarie Hinkle, Debbie Benjamin and Ellen Scharlach – or call Hoopeston City Hall, (217) 283-5833.

General Updates
Vermilion County was taken off the County Warning list as the last day they went by is the 24th, in which our positivity rate had dropped below 8%. HOWEVER…like I said earlier, one really bad day can ruin our rate when we are already vulnerable. On 10/27, our daily positivity rate was 12.2 and that put us back to 8.6%.
Being on a call with multiple hospitals and health departments yesterday, many hospitals are starting to look at capacity limits already. When we fill up our hospitals, we advance the burden on our healthcare system, our healthcare providers, and of course our community! Yes, this will end, but until it does we can’t let our guards down.
Region 6 (without UIUC tests) increased to 8.6% (ending 10/27). This officially puts us into Mitigation Measures – we anticipate this will begin on Monday, November 2nd.
Mitigation Measures (This is NOT Phase 3) – information is as we receive it and we will continue to send information as we get it.
TIER ONE Mitigations
We will have to operate under these measures until 14 days have passed and the region reaches a 7-day rolling positivity rate average of less than 6.5%. Vermilion County has a huge impact on our region so let’s get us back open as quickly as possible!!!
What does this mean and who does this affect?

Region Mitigation Measures Questions General Questions: How long will these mitigation measures be in place for? • The region will operate under these measures until 14 days have passed and the region reaches a 7-day rolling positive rate average of less than 6.5%. Why aren't other close contact businesses, like fitness centers, being closed as well? • The current data indicates that infections are coming from social encounters, such as bars, restaurants and large gatherings and this first tier of mitigations is focused on addressing those sources of community spread. If the regional seven-day rolling average for positivity rate remains above 8% over the next 14 days, IDPH may establish additional mitigations affecting more sectors in order to reduce infections. Which entities will be charged with enforcement of these new rules? • State and local law enforcement along with local health departments. How is the State coordinating with local officials and businesses themselves to implement these changes on short notice? • DCEO and DPH will notify local law enforcement agencies and local health departments, and has been the case throughout the pandemic, is in consistent communication with the business community to address their questions and assist in their ability to implement these new mitigations. What types of social events and gatherings are subject to the resurgence mitigation measures? • In addition to any event or gathering that falls under the meeting and social events guidelines, gatherings and socials events subject to mitigation measures include, but are not limited to, weddings, bridal & baby showers, receptions, birthday parties, picnics & barbecues, and funerals 10 Business Specific Questions: Do the mitigation measures impact drive-thru, take-out or delivery for restaurants? • No. Mitigations do not restrict take-out, drive-thru, or delivery options for restaurants. The guidance only provides for additional operating restrictions for indoor dining. Can bars and restaurants allow walk-in patrons for outdoor dining? • Bars and restaurants should take reservations for all parties for outdoor dining for contact tracing purposes. However, bars and restaurants can accept walk-ins provided they record the contact information of at least one person in the party. Can bars and restaurants in mitigation areas serve food and beverages indoors in conjunction with a meeting or special event? • No. Bars and restaurants in mitigation areas are not permitted to have any indoor dining and service, and therefore may not host meetings, events or gatherings within their establishment. Outdoor meetings or special events that otherwise comply with the bar and restaurant guidance are permitted. Do bars and restaurants need to stop accepting customers at 11:00 p.m., or do they have to clear the premises by 11:00 p.m.? • All patrons must be off the premises by 11:00 p.m. and may reopen at 6:00 a.m. or later. Drive-thru, carry out, and delivery service is still permitted after 11:00 p.m., but customers must depart after obtaining their food and there should not be congregation of customers outside of the restaurant after closure time. Can restaurants still utilize plexiglass between booths as a barrier? • Yes, plexiglass is still a permissible method for restaurants to separate parties within a restaurant. Do mitigation measures that restrict indoor dining and service at restaurants and bars apply to movie theaters, bowling alleys and food courts? • Indoor concessions at places like movie theaters and bowling alleys may still operate delivery and takeaway service consistent with the Phase 4 restaurant guidance and applicable mitigations. • Customers must consume food or beverage items off site or at their seat, lane etc. provided these areas are also consistent with applicable guidance. • Businesses within food courts may remain open for sales and takeaway, however, dining area tables must be rendered out of service or otherwise restricted from use.

For purposes of ensuring that individuals can eat a meal with no alternatives provided in these 11 venues for eating, they are not subject to the mitigation measures imposed in regions. Patrons must follow the restaurant and bar guidelines in the establishment, including wearing masks when waitstaff approach and when they are not eating or drinking at a table. What is the guidance for reception halls? • Reception halls generally refer to a building or space with primary purpose of entertaining large groups of people for social or entertainment purposes. In areas under Tier 1 mitigation, capacity is limited to the lesser of 25 people or 25% overall room capacity. In Tier 2, capacity is limited to 10 people. Are there changes to movie theater or drive-in movie theater guidance? • No; the mitigation measures do not outline any changes for movie theaters or drive-in movie theaters. The capacity for a theater is the lesser of 50 guests or 50% of the overall theater or performance space capacity and should follow the guidelines for Phase 4. Drivein theaters and concerts should follow the State’s FAQ. Do the gathering and meeting limits contained in the mitigation measures apply to Adult Day Care Services? • No. The resurgence mitigation measures would not affect adult day care “indoor” activities or services.

Investigation continues.
Region 6 (without UIUC tests) increased to 8.4% (ending 10/26). If the Region has 1 more day at 8% or above, we will go into mitigation measure. It would take an extremely low daily rate for us to go back under 8%. https://coronavirus.illinois.gov/s/restore-illinois-mitigation-plan. If we are over 8% tomorrow, then I would imagine restrictions would begin on Monday, November 2nd.
Vermilion County’s 7-Day rolling average is 7.8. Our last 2 daily positivity rates have been over 8%.
We still strongly encourage people to use discretion in attending large gatherings over 50 that could be deemed as super spreader events. It is quite probable that we will be looking at gathering over 25 soon. Please encourage proper mask and social distancing guidance.
Looking at the month of October, I’d like everyone to see the alarming increases in just ONE month that we’ve seen. We began keeping track of data in March. The rise in deaths and hospitalizations are very concerning.

After obtaining their Registration ID and PIN numbers, they can visit www.cyberdriveillinois.com and go to the “License Plate Renewal Email Notices” under Online Services. Since June 1, more than 1.5 million people have renewed their license plate stickers online. This is nearly double the amount renewing online during the same period in 2019. White is reminding the public that if they renew online and pay with an e-check, the payment processing fee is waived through the end of the year for the following services: renewing a license plate sticker, obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card, and renewing a driver’s license through the Safe Driver Renewal program. People who conduct online transactions will avoid waiting in line at a facility. For those customers who must visit a facility, face masks are required. In addition, customers are asked to be patient due to heavy volume and to be prepared to wait outside in various types of weather. This is due to social distancing, which limits the number of people inside a facility at one time. For more information, visit www.cyberdriveillinois.com.

Basketball is among a group of winter sports that has been put ‘‘on hold’’ by Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Public Health.
‘‘As with sports in the fall, nothing is ‘canceled,’ just put on hold until we’re through the thick of this pandemic,’’ Pritzker said in a statement.
Pritzker announced the decision at a news conference Tuesday that appeared to blindside the Illinois High School Association, which is holding a special board meeting Wednesday. It was scheduled to make an announcement about winter sports after that.
‘‘We know that this virus is of most concern when people are indoors with high contact, especially in vigorous situations that bring about heavy breathing, like in wrestling, hockey and basketball,’’ Pritzker said. ‘‘Sports played at a distance, like tennis, can be played. And sports that can be modified to have virtual elements — like dance, for example — offer more leeway in this moment, and the IDPH guidance reflects that.’’
Basketball practices were scheduled to start Nov. 16 and games Nov. 30. There is now no target date for either to begin.
‘‘I was surprised to hear something today; like most people, I was expecting something tomorrow,’’ said Evanston senior Blake Peters, a Princeton recruit. ‘‘I think a timetable would make us all feel better. We are in limbo. The reality is, a lot of seniors are still looking for a scholarship.’’
The IDPH’s new guidelines raise basketball from a medium-risk sport to a higher-risk sport. That means competitive games can’t be played until the state hits Level 3 of the IDPH’s guidelines. Higher-risk sports are currently at Level 1. The IDPH has not detailed how the state moves between levels, and the current level hasn’t change since the guidelines were released in late July.
‘This isn’t the news anyone wants to hear,’’ Pritzker said. ‘‘And it is not news that I want to deliver. But this virus remains dangerous and deadly to kids and parents and especially grandparents, and this is the best thing we can do for the health and safety of families under the current circumstances. Life in a pandemic is hard for everyone.’’
Moving basketball up to the higher-risk level likely puts an end to club-basketball showcase events and evaluation camps such as the Pangos event that was held last weekend in La Grange with players from 10 states.
The IHSA rushed out a statement about a half-hour after Pritzker’s announcement.
‘‘About 15 minutes prior to Governor Pritzker’s press conference today, we were alerted that the [IDPH] has elevated the sport of basketball from a medium-risk level to a high-risk level,’’ executive director Craig Anderson said in the statement. ‘‘We remain considerate of the recent rise in positive COVID-19 cases in our state. However, in our meeting with IDPH on Friday, we felt that we presented multiple options that would allow for basketball to be conducted safely by IHSA schools this winter, many of which are being utilized in neighboring states who plan to play high school basketball.’’
It’s possible the IHSA will reveal a new sports calendar, with a later start date for basketball, after its board meeting Wednesday.
The Illinois Basketball Coaches Association released a statement that it was “very disappointed to learn of today’s decision by the governor and IDPH regarding the movement of basketball in Illinois to the high risk category. The National Federation of High School Sports currently has basketball classified as a medium risk sport.”
General Updates
Region 6 (without UIUC tests) increased to 7.9% (ending 10/24). I would imagine the jump in the last two days is due to Macon County’s large number of new cases. On the 23rd and 24th it was reported they had over 100 cases each day.
Vermilion County’s 7-Day rolling average is 7.8. This is the 2nd day in a row that we are under the 8% warning level. While we are seeing an improvement in the county, please continue to be vigilant. This could turn around very quickly. We strongly encourage people to use discretion in attending large gatherings over 50 that could be deemed as super spreader events. Please encourage proper mask and social distancing guidance.

General Updates
Region 6 (without UIUC tests) increased to 7.8% (ending 10/23).
Vermilion County’s 7-Day rolling average is 7.7%. This is the first time Vermilion County has been below the warning level since September 27th. I would like to continue this trend to get us out of the County Warning list. Unfortunately, one bad day can make us go back above 8% since we’ve had a lot of previous bad days. It is important to not get pandemic fatigue, even though I know we all have it. Continue to be vigilant. Remember to think of our most vulnerable and the steps we need to take to keep them safe. We have lost 8 (67% of total deaths) of our community members just in the last month.

We are reporting 33 new cases this weekend (one resident in their 80s, three in their 70s, one in their 60s, three in their 50s, and three in their 20s), which brings us to a total of 1,486 positive cases -- 198 of which are active.
There are currently 14 COVID-positive Vermilion County residents hospitalized, and we have had a total of 12 COVID-related deaths in Vermilion County since the beginning of this pandemic.
Region 6 (without UIUC tests) maintained at 7.5% (ending 10/19).
Vermilion County’s 7-Day rolling average is 9.8%.
When you look at our regional stats below, the availability of our ICU Beds and Med Surge Beds are beginning to go down. It is likely that the next few months we will continue to get hit hard with case increases and possibly, deaths. This will put additional strain on our already stretched healthcare workers, hospitals and long term care facilities. This is not surprising as most pandemics surge in the colder months. The Pandemic of 1918 saw its greatest number of cases and deaths between October of 1918 and December of 1918. Vermilion County seems to be following that path as in a little over one month, we have almost tripled our cases, more than doubled our hospitalizations and almost tripled our deaths. On September 17th, 2020, we had 476 total cases, 4 hospitalized cases and only 4 deaths and our weekly positivity rate was 3.8%. With the numbers the way they are and have been, please anticipate that we will continue to be on the warning list. Again, we strongly encourage wearing masks, social distancing, and avoiding large or small gatherings.
Update on Cases
Today’s Cases: 18 new cases and 22 were released out of isolation. Our active cases are now at 184 with 175 isolated at home and 9 hospitalized. One of our hospitalized was released to home isolation and one of our hospitalized cases was released completely from isolation. One of our new cases from today is hospitalized. We have 1 toddler, 6 teens, 3 their 20s, 3 in their 30s, 2 in their 40s, 2 in their 70s and 1 in their 90s.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced today that teen driver deaths are down 74% since 2007. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), since White’s efforts to overhaul the state’s graduated driver licensing (GDL) laws took effect in 2008, teen driving fatalities have dropped 74%. Many cite White’s nationally heralded GDL program for the dramatic decrease in fatalities. “The goal has always been to save lives,” White said. “While our graduated driver licensing (GDL) program is working as intended with teen driving deaths decreasing, there is still more work to be done. My hope is that with hard work and continued open communication between my office, teens, parents and driver education teachers, teen fatalities will continue to decline.” In 2019, 41 teens were killed in traffic crashes, according to IDOT. In 2018, 48 teens were killed in crashes, IDOT reported. In 2007, the year before White’s stronger GDL laws took effect, 155 teens were killed in crashes. White reminds the public that this week is a time when parents and caregivers are encouraged to talk to teens about staying safe behind the wheel, as well as using seat belts, obeying the speed limit and not texting while driving or driving impaired. Illinois’ GDL program prepares teen drivers by giving them more time to obtain valuable driving experience while under the watchful eye of an adult, limiting in-car distractions and requiring teens to earn their way from one stage to the next by avoiding traffic convictions. White emphasized the important roles that parents, teachers and driver education instructors play in preparing safe and responsible teen drivers. State and national traffic safety organizations have praised Illinois’ stronger GDL program as one of the best in the nation.

SPRINGFIELD – In recent days, dry conditions and gusty winds have fueled countless fires destroying miles of farmland, valuable equipment, structures and in some cases severely injuring those involved. Fires can occur at any time of year and anywhere in the country, including remote rural areas, state or national parks, or even in your backyard. Wildfires can be sparked from natural sources, such as lightning, or accidentally by humans via cigarettes, campfires or grills, or by mechanical sparks coming into contact with flammable materials. It is with that in mind that state officials are urging Illinois residents to heed the warnings issued by National Weather Service meteorologists and local officials to reduce the risk of fall fires.
The National Weather Service (NWS) will issue Red Flag Warnings when weather conditions, such as strong winds, low relative humidity and high temperatures, make for outdoor fire dangers. During these dangerous times, the NWS urges everyone to use extreme caution because a simple spark can create a major fire. Sparks or embers can blow into leaves or grass, igniting a fire that can quickly spread.
“People need to heed the warnings when there is an elevated fire danger and think about the possible consequences of their actions. These fires not only cause damage to property, and could cost some people their livelihoods, but also put first responders in harm’s way who are trying to battle these fires which are preventable if people think and act responsibly,” said State Fire Marshal Matt Perez.
Watches and warnings are issued by the National Weather Service and enforced by local officials. Watches are issued up to 72-hours before dangerous conditions are expected to occur; whereas, a warning is issued when the conditions are expected to occur or are occurring within the next 24-hours.
“This past week’s dry and windy conditions resulted in field fires across our state, adding stress to the harvest season,” said Jerry Costello II, IDOA Acting Director. “Our thoughts are with those farmers and their families that experienced crop loss. We encourage fire safety and fire prevention to be a part of every farmer’s farm safety plan."
“Mutual Aid resources are utilized daily at the local level to provide community to community assistance. When seconds count, a strong mutual aid system is an important lifeline to foster and develop,” said Alicia Tate-Nadeau, IEMA Director. “The team at the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) is a valuable partner to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the State of Illinois. This organization of trained professionals is a critical component of our robust mutual aid system, and those partnerships proved invaluable in recent days.”
Nearly nine out of 10 wildfires, nationally, are caused by humans and could have been prevented. Before any fire happens, make sure your home or business is resistant to catching fire. This can be accomplished by clearing away debris and other flammable materials and using fire-resistant materials for landscaping and construction.
What You Should Know about Wildfires
• Know what to do before, during and after a wildfire;
• Learn your evacuation routes;
• Have emergency supplies in place at home, work and in the car;
• Listen to local officials for instructions and plan to evacuate if advised;
• Keep track of fires near your community or where you plan to vacation with https://fsapps.nwcg.gov/afm/index.php; and
• If you evacuated an area due to a wildfire, wait for public officials to say it is safe before returning.
Camping Fire and Burn Safety
Cooler temperatures make for great hiking and camping weather in Illinois. Before you plan your next adventure, officials with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) encourage you to make fall fire prevention plan.
“Moving into fall, we’ve seen low humidity, dry ground and gusty winds, exponentially increasing the chances of wildland and forest fires,” said IDNR Director Colleen Callahan. “Even though we’re moving into the tail end of camping season, with conditions like these it’s incredibly important for campers to keep a close eye on warnings from the National Weather Service and always monitor campfires and stoves. A small spark can get out of hand in a matter of seconds.”
By following these safety tips, campers can help prevent fires at IDNR sites and even private campgrounds:
• At campgrounds at state parks and other IDNR-managed sites, fires are allowed in stoves, grills or other designated areas only. Large bonfires are not permitted without permission of the site superintendent.
• Have a supply of water or fire extinguisher and shovel readily available before building your fire.
• Never use a flammable liquid (especially gasoline) to start a fire or on hot coals. Explosions can result.
• When near campfires and grills, wear snug-fitting, tightly woven, or short-sleeved garments.
• Pitch tents at least 15 feet upwind from grills and fire pits.
• Never leave a fire unattended.
• Before you leave your campsite, make sure coals are thoroughly extinguished before disposal.
• If your fire gets out of control, note your location and call 9-1-1 for assistance.

Region 6 (without UIUC tests) maintained at 6.6% (ending 10/12). Vermilion County continues to slowly go down. Current 7-day rolling average is 9.1%. We did see our daily positivity rate (6.8%) go below 8% for the first time since 9/30. Let’s hope we continue with this downward trend in numbers.
As in the beginning of the pandemic, we worry about the capacity of our hospitals. At this point, our regional ICU bed availability stands at 46%. We do not want to see this get below 20%. Now that flu season is upon us, it is likely we will see those numbers fluctuate. While the Southern Hemisphere did not see large numbers of flu this year, the Northern Hemisphere does not always follow the same pattern. The Southern Hemisphere also saw a large increase in their vaccinations for flu and they seemed to adhere better to the necessary precautions with masking and social distancing, which probably had a major impact. So far, the demand for flu vaccines in Vermilion County has been high. VCHD ran out of flu vaccine quickly and had to cancel multiple clinics. Carle will be hosting another drive thru clinic on October 17th from 8am-2pm at their 2300 N. Vermilion St. site in Danville.
Update on Cases
Today’s Cases: 59 new cases and 27 were released out of isolation. We also regret to report our 8th death for Vermilion County, a gentleman in his 70s. He had been one of our hospitalized cases.

This puts our active cases at 263 with 9 in the hospital and 254 at home in isolation. Two of our new cases are hospitalized. We have 1 toddler, 1 preschooler, 4 grade school children, 8 teens, 10 their 20s, 4 in their 30s, 6 in their 40s, 7 in their 50s, 13 in their 60s, 3 in their 70s, 1 in their 80s and 1 in their 90s. 24 of the cases are connected by households, family, or previous contacts.

* Should a flu vaccine be given to someone currently with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19? According to CDC and IDPH, No. Vaccination should be deferred (postponed) for people with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, regardless of whether they have symptoms, until they have met the criteria to discontinue their isolation, then they may get their flu vaccination. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/season/faq-flu-season-2020-2021.htm<https://www.cdc.gov/flu/season/faq-flu-season-2020-2021.htm>.

Good news on our region. I suggested (and I am sure I was not alone) to our regional ERC to just take out UIUC’s tests and to add Champaign back to our region and the state has decided to do this and our rate is now at 6.6% (about 20 minutes ago, it was 8.2%). This doesn’t mean we can continue to throw caution to the wind as we are still on an upward trend. Other counties that have very high 7-day rolling average rates are Clay (14.8%,); Crawford County (26.4%); Dewitt (10.1%); Ford (13.6%); Jasper (10.5%) and Macon (10.1%). Vermilion County’s latest 7-day rolling average rate is 9.3%.
We continue to see exposure with our gatherings, both large and small. Many times with small gatherings, our guard is let down because we are with our friends and family and there is a tendency to not wear masks or not social distance. As the weather cools down, we will all be heading indoors and this will not help matters either. We also tend to see an increase in our older population after we see an increase in our younger population.
Update on Cases
Today’s Cases: 40 new cases and 32 were released out of isolation. This puts our active cases at 232 with 8 in the hospital and 224 at home in isolation. We have 2 preschoolers, 1 grade school child, 4 teens, 4 their 20s, 12 in their 30s, 6 in their 40s, 7 in their 50s, 2 in their 60s, and 2 in their 70s. 13 of the cases are connected by households, family, or previous contacts.

Our REGIONAL positivity rate went down to 7%. Vermilion County’s latest weekly rate (ending in 10/4) is now at 10.6% (full chart is at the end of the email). When looking at our recent cases vs. Region 6 (without Champaign), Vermilion County has accounted for 16%-41% of our region’s cases in the last week. There are 20 counties (21 with Champaign) in our Region and we are leading in the case load. Macon County is behind us with a range of 12%-37%. While this isn’t completely surprising in the fact that we are the next two in line for population size behind Champaign, Macon County has been testing a lot more people, so they are not in the warning area for positivity. We have the 2nd highest 7 day rolling positivity rate only behind Clay County which is 13.2.
Also, just a reminder that we post our cases to you once we have talked to them and verified that they are really a positive case in our county. Because we have been backlogged with cases lately, we have increased the number of staff doing contact tracing so we have been able to catch up some (hence the large number yesterday), although new cases continue every day.
Looking at the daily and weekly positivity rate from IDPH gives us a better look at how we are really doing in real time. Daily and weekly rates are on the attached graphic. The below graphic (which is now added to our infographic) looks at the difference between the positive tests and total tests each day. Normally, the more you test, you may find more disease, but you also usually see the positivity rate go down if there is less illness as you can see in the beginning of the chart. At the end of the chart, the number of positives are getting much closer to the number tested which correlates with our high positivity rate. We have not seen a huge increase in the total number of tests, that has roughly remained constant. Essentially, more people are positive, and we do not have robust testing available in Vermilion County.
Update on Cases
Today’s Cases: 34 new cases and 20 were released. This puts our active cases at 242 with 9 in the hospital and 233 at home in isolation. 1 of our new cases is hospitalized. We have 2 toddlers, 2 preschool children, 2 grade school child, 1 teen, 3 their 20s, 3 in their 30s, 2 in their 40s, 5 in their 50s, 4 in their 60s, 8 in their 70s and 2 in their 80s. 15 of the cases are connected by households, family, or previous contacts.
Thank you to those who provided me with feedback yesterday. I thought I would add a few of the summarized comments I received. Many of these were talked about by multiple people:

Our REGIONAL positivity rate went down to 7.2%. Vermilion County’s latest weekly rate (ending in 10/3) is now at 10.5% .
Our daily testing numbers have roughly stayed constant with a few dips and rises, but our positive cases have really begun to rise, this chart gives us a good look at what we are dealing with in consideration of our outbreak of cases. Our rise in cases is not matching our current testing, which means we are seeing more disease.
Update on Cases
Cases: 79 new cases and 21 were released. This puts our active cases at 228 with 8 in the hospital and 220 at home in isolation. 1 of our new cases is hospitalized.

Our REGIONAL positivity rate is at 7.4%. Vermilion County’s latest weekly rate (ending in 10/2) is now at 9.6% (chart is below) which is in the warning area. This does not mean we as a county immediately go into extra restrictions; this means that next week, we will most likely be placed back on the warning list and if we continue going up and remain high, the state could put extra restrictions on us.
As a REGION, we will go into mitigations if we go over 8% for 3 consecutive days.
Update on Cases
Over the weekend: We had 56 cases and 12 releases. One of our releases was someone currently in the hospital. We have 1 toddler, 3 grade school children, 6 teens, 4 in their 20s, 4 in their 30s, 9 in their 40s, 7 in their 50s, 9 in their 60s, 9 in their 70s, and 4 in their 80s. None of the new cases over the weekend were hospitalized.
Today’s Cases: 26 new cases and 32 were released. This puts our active cases at 170 with 7 in the hospital and 1163 at home in isolation. We have 2 toddlers, 1 grade school child, 2 teens, 3 their 20s, 3 in their 30s, 2 in their 40s, 3 in their 50s, 5 in their 60s, and 5 in their 70s. 9 of the cases are connected by households, family, or previous contacts.
Also, I’d like to touch on the fact that we continue to compare this to flu and flu deaths. The worst flu season we have had in the last 10 years was a couple years ago during the 2017-2018 season which killed approximately 61,000 in the United States. Today, the United States reports over 208,000 people have died from COVID19 like illnesses. In Illinois, flu and pneumonia like illnesses killed 2,562 in 2018 alone. So far, 8,791 people have died from COVID19 like illnesses in 2020. And we are not done yet. COVID19 hits people the hardest who have underlying health conditions. Vermilion County has an estimated 31,586 people (53.8%) who answered yes to either having COPD, emphysema or chronic bronchitis, heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease or if their calculated BMI (body mass index) was over 30. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#underlying-med-conditions .
