I live in the Chicago suburbs and currently we have just under 40,000 confirmed Covid cases. I am not exactly sure how the number of Illinios Covid cases compares to other states but I am sure we are among the worst in the country.
Given the number of cases here I wonder if people are just more aware of the situation outside of their homes and thus more concerned for their and others safety and health.
