The numbers of the past two days of confirmed coronavirus infections.
As I will continue to emphasize, if you're on public transit and you don't have to sit next to anyone don't. If you have a bus or a train car with very few people on it why would you willfully sit close to anyone? Of course beyond that take whatever precautions necessary wash your hands or being promoted recently wear a mask. That's something I plan to do the next time I'm on a train.

Yesterday we saw a press conference at McCormick Place with Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot. McCormick Place will be a field hospital. My understanding is that if you're seriously ill you will be sent to a hospital and the field hospital at McCormick will be for those who have mild symptoms . If you want to know more about what was said I'll share this story from CBS Chicago [VIDEO]
While grocery stores (Jewel, Mariano's, Whole Foods for example) and pharmacies (CVS or Walgreens for example) are making further strides to insure social distancing in their establishments. You may hear more announcements about this over the PA system. These stores aren't even going to allow you to use your reusable bags - and I do have to ask about that 7 cent bag tax. More from CBS Chicago again though it aired late last month. [VIDEO]
Here's a video featuring US Surgeon General Jerome Adams showing us how to use a t-shirt with rubber bands as a mask.
