Last week, at a press conference Governor Pritzker shared his plan to re-open the state of Illinois. This plan was developed with the help of Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of Illinois Department of Public Health. Two major milestones of the plan are that 50 percent of adult state residents are vaccinated, and a steady decline in hospitalizations, mortality, and infection rates for a 28-day monitoring period. After almost 18 months, there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. Years from now, it will be interesting to see how historians document this unique time in American history. Why was wearing a mask politicalized? Why was the United States so slow to react to the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic? As a Christian pastor who teaches church history, I’m curious how historians will portray the American Christian church. At the beginning of the pandemic, when precautions were implemented, several sued the governor for violating their First Amendment right to assemble. Many churches

Debido a señales de un resurgimiento del coronavirus en Illinois, el gobernador J.B. Pritzker anunció nuevas restricciones en los deportes para jóvenes y adultos, y la clasificación de “nivel de advertencia” para 11 condados que registran un aumento prolongado en muertes por COVID-19, tasas de contagios y hospitalizaciones. El mandatario advirtió sobre una posible reversión en la reapertura económica a medida que aumentan los casos de contagios en el estado. Dijo que “las cosas no van en la dirección correcta” y pidió a los residentes defender los progresos alcanzados, así como actuar “de manera responsable y colectiva para proteger a las personas que amamos”, ya que “estamos en un punto de peligro, todos”. En respuesta a un aumento en el recuento diario de casos de COVID-19 en Illinois, que alcanzaron la semana pasada un nivel que no se había visto desde mayo, Pritzker estableció nuevas restricciones en los deportes para jóvenes y adultos, que limitan las prácticas y el juego, especialmente en disciplinas de alto contacto como el fútbol y el hockey. La medida implica que deportes escolares como el fútbol y voleibol se trasladarán a la primavera, mientras que algunas competiciones en deportes considerados menos riesgosos, como el tenis, continuarán este otoño. Las reglas entrarán en vigencia el 15 de agosto, se aplican a personas de todas las edades y cubren casi todas las áreas de atletismo, con excepción de las ligas deportivas y profesionales universitarias. “El virus sigue siendo peligroso para los niños, padres, abuelos, maestros y entrenadores”, dijo Pritzker. “Y por ahora, esto es lo mejor que podemos hacer por la salud y la seguridad de nuestras familias en las circunstancias actuales”. “Hemos progresado en Illinois, pero también hemos visto que puede ser fugaz. Y en este momento, las cosas no van en la dirección correcta”, sentenció. También mencionó a los 11 condados en “nivel de advertencia”, de los cuales Gallatin, en la frontera con Kentucky, tiene una tasa de positividad de las pruebas superior al 20 por ciento, un 15 por ciento más alta que la tasa en Chicago, por lo que líderes locales de esos condados requieren imponer regulaciones más estrictas para proteger a los residentes. Según el reporte del estado, esos condados han visto brotes relacionados con operaciones comerciales, ceremonias de graduación, fiestas, personas que van a bares, grandes eventos deportivos y otras reuniones. Y los residentes de muchas de esas comunidades no usan protectores faciales, que han demostrado reducir el riesgo de propagación del coronavirus. Pritzker advirtió que si las tendencias en Illinois continúan o empeoran, el estado podría reprimir los negocios y las reuniones, e incluso regresar a la orden de permanecer en casa en regiones donde las métricas, como la tasa de positividad, exceden cierto umbral. En tanto, la jefe del Departamento de Salud Pública de Illinois Dra. Ngozi Ezike confirmó que en las últimas semanas aumentaron las cifras de hospitalizaciones y muertes. La tasa promedio de contagios del estado se elevó a 3.9%, después de siete días consecutivos con más de mil casos diarios de contagio. Dijo que seis de las 11 regiones en que se dividió el estado en la nueva estrategia de seguimiento han visto aumentar sus tasas de positividad durante al menos siete de los últimos 10 días, una señal de advertencia de que el virus está regresando. Una región, Metro East, en el sur de Illinois, tiene una tasa de casi 8%.

El gobierno de Illinois distribuirá más de 60,000 cubre-bocas de tela a las agencias, juntas y comisiones estatales para proteger la salud y la seguridad de sus empleados que regresan a sus lugares de trabajo. “El uso correcto de una protección facial se fortalece como la mejor forma de contener la propagación de los contagios en la medida que se reabre más la economía y los residentes de Illinois vuelven al trabajo”, indicó la Directora del Departamento de Salud Publica del estado (IDPH) Dra. Ngozi Ezike, al dar a conocer la medida. “Hemos aprendido que un contagiado puede ser más infeccioso hasta dos días antes de que comiencen a mostrar síntomas. Pero si una persona infectada usa una cubierta facial, puede ayudar a evitar que las gotas de su boca o nariz lleguen a otras personas a su alrededor. Al cubrirse la cara, respeta a los que le rodean y ayuda a reducir la propagación de COVID-19”, dijo. Antes de elegir la entrega masiva de cubre-bocas, el Departamento de Servicios de Administración Central de Illinois (CMS) desarrolló las pautas para el regreso al trabajo del Estado y encuestó a cada agencia estatal, junta y comisión bajo la jurisdicción del Gobernador Pritzker para recopilar información sobre sus planes específicos en el retorno a la actividad. La Agencia de Manejo de Emergencias de Illinois (IEMA) utilizó esta información para proporcionar a cada empleado dos máscaras faciales de tela, lo que da un estimado de 60,000. Según las pautas, todos los empleados estatales deben tener el equipo de protección personal preciso para regresar de manera segura a su lugar de trabajo. La recomendación para las oficinas de gobierno es la misma que se les da a los negocios de Illinois: el cumplimiento del uso de una cobertura facial es una forma simple pero efectiva de proteger a trabajadores y clientes. Los cubre-bocas se obtuvieron de una fuente privada a través de la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA).

President Donald Trump signed into law Friday afternoon a historic $2 trillion stimulus package as the American public and the US economy fight the devastating spread of Covid-19. The far-reaching legislation stands as the largest emergency aid package in US history. It represents a massive financial injection into a struggling economy with provisions aimed at helping American workers, small businesses and industries grappling with the economic disruption. Individuals who earn $75,000 in adjusted gross income or less would get direct payments of $1,200 each, with married couples earning up to $150,000 receiving $2,400 -- and an additional $500 per each child. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/according-2-b-matthews/support
