Much has been made of the effort to flatten the curve of COVID cases in Illinois. 

According to the Governor and the Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, the curve is flattening but the peak of the curve isn’t yet here. JB Pritzker says updated models that he uses to make decisions about stay at home orders now show a peak of cases coming in mid-May.

The Governor has said over the past few days that he is considering a regional approach to reopening the economy.
