Part 1: COVID-19 Media Stories Pages 3-267 Part 2: Other Media Stories Pages 268-286 2 Nurses are trying to save us from the virus, and from ourselves April 28, 2020 – Washington Post First, arrive at work before dawn. Then put on a head cover, foot covers, surgical scrubs, and a yellow plastic gown. Next, if one is available, the N95 mask. Fitting it to your face will be the most important 10 seconds of your day. It will protect you, and it will make your head throb. Then, a surgical mask over the N95. A face shield and gloves. Cocooned, you’ll taste your own recycled breath and hear your own heartbeat; you’ll sweat along every slope and crevice of your body. Now, the hard part. Maintain your empathy, efficiency and expertise for 12 or 18 hours, while going thirsty and never sitting down, in an environment that is under-resourced and overworked, because your latest duty — in a profession with limitless duties — is confronting the most frightening pandemic in 100 years while holding people’s hands through it, through two pairs of gloves and a feeling that tomorrow could be worse. -

The 2006 Illinois General Election a Vote Analysis
The 2006 Illinois General Election A Vote Analysis I. Statewide Turnout by Region II. Illinois Governor III. Cook County Board President Roosevelt University Institute for Politics 430 South Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60605 Paul M. Green, Director January – 2007 Research Assistance Ms. Jearlean Fleming Ms. Rose Sanchez This report is a non-partisan analysis of the 2006 Illinois General Election. It is produced by the Institute for Politics at Roosevelt University – in cooperation with the Illinois State Board of Elections and is funded in part with a grant from AT&T Illinois – its author is Institute Director, Paul Green. Comments on this material are welcomed – email [email protected] or fax 312-341-4325. 1 I 2006 General Election: Illinois Turnout There is an old Chicago political adage, “If you don’t vote – you don’t count.” In the 2006 mid-term elections less than 50% of registered Illinois voters went to the polls – thus in effect giving those individuals who did vote over twice as much power to pick the state’s leaders. Overall the total 2006 turnout was 65,516 votes less than in 2002 (See Table I). Also continuing an ongoing demographic shift – only the five collar counties (DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will) voting region saw an increase in voter turnout while the other three regions experienced a vote decrease. Percentage-wise the five collars constituted nearly one-fourth of the Illinois vote – this collar county statewide vote percentage gain came mainly at the expense of Chicago. The state’s biggest city voted less than 19% of the statewide vote which a generation ago would have meant big trouble for Illinois Democrats. -

Community Advisory Council Food As Medicine Legislative Update
CEO Report (Addendum to PowerPoint Presentation) Debra D. Carey, Interim CEO May 29, 2020 Community Advisory Council CCH held its first joint virtual Community Advisory Council meeting on May 28th for the representatives on the Cottage Grove and Robbins Councils. Updates on CCH services, facilities and programs were provided including COVID-19. Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle ‘stopped by’ virtually to greet the participants. Approximately 40 individuals participated. The Englewood Advisory Council will meet on June 18th. Food as Medicine As access to healthy food remains a great need for our patients and communities, the Fresh Truck partnership between Cook County Health (CCH) and the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) continues. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic required CCH and GCFD to develop and implement revised protocols for the Fresh Truck distributions that allow for appropriate screenings and social distancing to protect patients, as well as CCH and GCFD staff and volunteers. These revised protocols are in place until further notice. Through May 19, CCH’s Fresh Truck partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) resulted in 259 visits to 13 CCH health centers – Arlington Heights, Austin, the CORE Center, Cottage Grove, Englewood, Logan Square, Near South, North Riverside, Oak Forest, Provident/Sengstacke, Prieto, Robbins, and Woodlawn. Collectively, the Fresh Truck distributions have resulted in the provision of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as some shelf stable items during the COVID-19 pandemic, to an estimated 33,847 individuals, representing 112,381 household members, totaling more than 685,000 pounds of food. Most of the individuals benefiting from the Fresh Truck screened positive for food insecurity at a CCH health center visit.
