Jerky market from the premarket to now any trends youre picking up i wouldnt say trends that last too long. I think this kind of choppiness, a little bit of aftershock navigation is what were trying to deal with right here. I do think it shows you what happens in these tightly compressed markets like oil when you have a hint of something oou, you know, going the other direction and you will get this exaggerated pop. Were in the zone in a less extreme way with equities too. Right now today weve traded within yesterdays range so even though it seems like weve been popping all over the place, weve essentially sort of operated within the bands that we set yesterday i dont think yesterdays 4 decline necessarily did too much damage to the idea that perhaps were in this bottoming process, maybe a week ago monday was okay for a shortterm extreme low but todays rally doesnt change the sto story either that it could go either way the conversation perhaps is going to turn a little bit more toward
Unfortunately, theres still desperate for testing kits. Illinois has about 5000 more kits that were provided yesterday by private company at the urging of our governor, but weve never seen a number of test kits that we believe are necessary to measure the current state of this coronavirus in her home state of illinois. The official count, and i might add that word official, is that we have had 288 illinoisans affected, and one fatality. I believe the number of infections in the official report grossly understate the exposure and in my home state f illinois. And once more tests are administered and we received the results come unafraid we are going to see a dramatic increase in that number of reported infections in the state. These cases yesterday, 128 new cases were announced yesterday in our state. It is the largest single oneday increase since weve been reporting. We have two additional counties that have now been touched out of 100 you, we are not up to 17 counties with infections.
