"We would have seen a surge if we were going to see a surge, at this
point," Chicago Dept. of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said.

CHICAGO — Chicago’s top doctor said 203 people who attended Lollapalooza
tested positive for COVID-19 in the two weeks since the event began at
Grant Park.

Chicago Dept. of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said the
results do not indicate Lollapalooza was a super-spreader event, saying
officials predicted seeing about 200 new cases.

Arwady, in a Thursday morning briefing, said 127 vaccinated people who
attended Lollapalooza later tested positive. An additional 76
unvaccinated people who attended tested positive.


Arwady said more positive test results could still come in from other
jurisdictions, but because of the amount of time that has passed, she
does not consider it a super-spreader event.

“We would have seen a surge if we were going to see a surge, at this
point” Arwady said.

“There’s no evidence of a super-spreader event, and there’s no evidence
of substantial impact to Chicago’s COVID epidemiology.”

Arwady said the city used a “conservative estimate” that 88 percent of
the 385,000 attendees were vaccinated. That calculates to 0.04 percent
of vaccinated people later testing positive — about 4 in 10,000 people.

Of the unvaccinated, 0.16 percent later tested positive, she said. That
is about 16 in 10,000 people.

Of the positives, 58 were Chicago residents, 138 were non-Chicago
Illinois residents and 7 were from out of state. She said the city, in
surveying for the results, took a broad view of potential infections and
counted anyone who tested positive and had been at the festival.

“We’re not saying all of these folks were infected at Lolla,” she said.

No hospitalizations or deaths were reported, she said.

Of the 58 Chicago residents infected, 13 told surveyors they attended
Lollapalooza “on or after the day their symptoms began,” Arwady said.

“This is a really important reminder we need everyone in Chicago not to
ignore symptoms, assume it’s a summer cold, regardless of your
vaccination status,” she said. “Because we know vaccines are not 100
percent effective.”

The news surprised those who were expecting a surge following the large
event. Arwady said the department came to the 203 number based on
surveys, contact tracing, emergency room visits and by consulting with
other health departments.

The city has been criticized for its lackluster contact tracing program,
but Arwady said the city did an extensive investigation into cases
linked to the festival.


Vaccinations:

• In Illinois, about 6.5 million people of all ages — or 51.26 percent
of the state’s 12.7 million people — have gotten all their COVID-19
vaccine shots, according to state data.

• Across the state, 27,611 vaccine doses are being administered per day,
based on a seven-day rolling average.

• Illinois and Chicago have administered at least 13,463,308 vaccine
doses of the 15,223,455 provided to them.

• City data shows more than 1.44 million Chicagoans — or 53.8 percent of
all residents — have gotten fully vaccinated. About 59.1 percent of all
Chicagoans have gotten at least one shot.

COVID-19 vaccinations are free and do not require insurance. Anyone can
call the city’s coronavirus hotline at 312-746-4835 to get more
information on how and where to get vaccinated in their community.

The numbers:

• Twenty-four Illinoisans were reported dead from COVID-19 since Wednesday.

• At least 23,575 people have died from COVID-19 in Illinois, and
another 2,500 deaths are probably related to the virus, accordingw to
the state.

• The state reported 3,114 cases since Wednesday. That brings the total
number of confirmed cases in Illinois up to 1,454,208.

• Since Wednesday, 71,820 tests were reported statewide. In all,
27,536,684 tests have been reported in Illinois.

• Illinois’ seven-day positivity rate was at 5 percent. The figure
represents the percentage of people testing positive among recent tests.
It was at 5.1 percent Wednesday.

• Illinois’ seven-day test positivity rate, which measures the
percentage of tests that were positive, was at 5.8 percent. It was at
5.7 percent Wednesday.

• As of Wednesday night, 324 people with COVID-19 were in the ICU and
152 people with COVID-19 were using ventilators in Illinois.

• In Chicago, three deaths were reported since Wednesday. There have
been at least 5,539 deaths from COVID-19 in Chicago. The city is seeing
an average of more than two deaths per day, a 29 percent increase from
the week prior.

• Chicago has had 343 confirmed cases reported since Wednesday. It’s had
a total of 294,269 confirmed cases. An average of 364 confirmed cases
are being reported per day, a 39 percent increase from the week prior.

• At the same time, testing has increased 27 percent since a week ago.

• Chicago’s positivity rate was at 3.8 percent, up from 3.5 percent the
week prior.

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
Chicago & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://bit.ly/convince_it_forward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda &
Delta lineage mutations combining to form hybrids that render current
COVID vaccines no longer effective.

Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

So how are you ?

While wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/Philippians4_12 ) in the Holy
Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy 8:3) me to hunger right now (Luke
6:21a), I pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that GOD continues to curse

http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (Genesis 25:32) trapped in the
entangling (Hebrews 12:1) deadly (i.e. killed immortals Adam&Eve) sin
of gluttony (Proverbs 23:2).

(2) Eternally condemned (Mark 3:29) humans - Folks who will never have
GOD's Help (i.e. Holy Spirit) to stop being
http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (2 Kings 6:29) as evident by their
constant vainjangling (1 Timothy 1:6) about everything except how to
stop (John 5:14) sinning.

LIE.

The color of my face in **not** visible here on USENET nor is the
color of my face red for those who can see me.

> He is trying to pull a fast one. His scripture bit is found among these:
>
> '14 Bible verses about Spiritual Hunger'

Such are the lies coming from the lying pens of the
http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (Genesis 25:32) commentators.

That which is "spiritual" is independent of time so that there
would've been no reference to "now."

Therefore, the LORD is referring to physical hunger here instead of
the spiritual "hunger and thirst for righteousness" elsewhere in
Scripture.

Indeed, physical hunger can **not** coexist with physical thirst
because the latter results in the loss of saliva needed for physical
hunger.

It is when we hunger for food "now" (Luke 6:21a) that we are able to
eat food "now."

No such time constraints exist for "spiritual hunger."

Moreover, the perspective of Luke 6:21a through the eyes of a
physician (i.e. Dr. Luke) would be logically expected to be physical
instead of spiritual.

All glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD for His compelling you to
unwittingly demonstrate your ever worsening cognitive condition which
is tragically a consequence of His cursing (Jeremiah 17:5) you more
than ever.

Laus DEO !

someone eternally condemned & ever more cursed by GOD perseverated:
(in a vain attempt to refute posts about being wonderfully hungry)

> Psalms
> 81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
> open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Indeed, receiving a mouthful (Psalm 81:10) of manna from GOD will only
make His http://HeartMDPhD.com/Redeemed want even more, so that we're
even http://bit.ly/wonderfully_hungrier with all glory (
http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD.

Laus DEO !

> Proverbs


> 13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of
> the wicked is in need.



Indeed, the righteous know to be satisfied (Luke 6:21a) with an omer
(Exodus 16:16) of manna, while the wicked need (Proverbs 13:25) this
knowledge as evident by their eating until they are full (i.e.
satiated).

> Joel
> 2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
> the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
> people shall never be ashamed.

Indeed, an omer (32 ounces per Revelation 6:6) of manna is plenty
(Joel 2:26) with all glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD and to
the shame of you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned.

Laus DEO ! !

> Psalms
> 107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

Indeed, being filled (Psalm 107:9) with an omer (Exodus 16:16) of
manna is a Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6) thing while being satiated (i.e.
full) is evil.

> Acts
> 14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by
> giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
> your hearts with food and gladness."

In the interim, you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned, will
never be satisfied (Acts 14:17) because you are ever more cursed
(Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD.

John was a Jew instead of a Greek so there is really no reason to

John also wrote earlier at John 5:14 that LORD Jesus commands:

"Now stop sinning or something worse may happen to you." (John 5:14)

And, indeed, your being eternally condemned (Mark 3:29) & ever more
cursed (Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD, as evident by your ever worsening
cognitive deficits, is really worse.

Now again, here's how to really stop sinning as LORD Jesus commands
(John 5:14):
