And today's numbers go up... again

Today's Statewide new case total is a tick over 1,600 (1,624 to be exact), a small increase over yesterday , when just under 1,600 cases were reported (1,598).

According to the IDPH website, we haven't reached the increases in positivity that will force more draconian measures, but hospitalizations are up, and suburban Cook County (IDPH Region 10) is doing worse than the City of Chicago (Region 11).

But all trend lines are going upwards.

Is this really the time for marching?
