- Essential State Employee - Friday, Feb 26, 21 @ 5:21 am:
SJ-R has this on a paywall but the Pantagraph reposted the same story for free today. A Cook County resident is boasting about going to the State Fairgrounds’ vaccine site. The story also reports that 400 Cook County residents have already also been vaccinated at the fairgrounds, followed by 200 from DuPage. Yet while DuPage County is not using their entire vaccine supply.
Meanwhile, Sangamon County residents that have now been added to 1B can’t get an appointment until at least March 9. Is it time for the state to start county/area residency requirements for vaccinations in your area? (Such as Sangamon and surrounding counties only for the fairgrounds and Sangamon County Dept of Public Health).

Chicagoans woke up Tuesday morning to what was supposed to be the biggest snowstorm the region has seen in two years with up to 8 inches of snow predicted in many areas.
There was about half that as dawn broke Tuesday at O’Hare International Airport. But by the afternoon, 5.8 inches of snow had been recorded at the airport. That makes it the largest snowfall in Chicago since April 14, 2019, when 5.4 inches fell, according to the National Weather Service.
Even though snowfall tallies didn’t reach 8 inches, residents still had plenty to say about it on Twitter.
Like this Chicagoan, who was still annoyed by the snow no matter the amount.
