We. Are. Peoria (Area)

Interesting numbers coming out of McLean County, especially since as far as I can tell most public schools in McLean County have opted for remote learning. So it's not school that's driving these increases. Who would have thought that kids are not taking precautions when OUT of school? Color me shocked.

Dunlap school has reported 1 positive case of CoVID. That student is under quarantine. However, the school is not closed, only the classroom, for deep cleaning and disinfecting.

We've already heard about Morton High school students testing positive. I know one student there who now has to quarantine at home for 10 Days because they were exposed. And this student had just joined the golf team.

I saw that they were closing 1 classroom. Sounds crazy to me...is the thinking that the virus just stayed in that one room?

i heard 26 grade school age kids in McLean county tested positive and they haven't even started school yet. The virus must live outside schools as well?

Wouldn't it have been awesome to test everyone BEFORE they came to school? What a concept.

I sure don't see how any cases could START at the schools. They have to come in from someplace else. Maybe kids who's parents think masks are for pussies?

If everyone is wearing masks, aren't they supposed to stop Covid? Isn't that why we are wearing them?

Maybe, just maybe everyone isn't wearing a mask.
Is that really hard for you to believe?

Don't worry, we'll be at 5 Million tests a day before June.
