*+Test Fatality Rate (+TFR) = deaths/positive tests. Confirmed COVID-19 tests in Cook County as reported by the Coronavirus COVID-19 dashboard found on the garbage Illinois Department of Public Health website. A positive test result is not the same as a case and does not necessarily mean illness or hospitalization, it simply means a virus (may or may not be C19) was detected. PLEASE NOTE: A backlog of test results was released on Sept 4th. There is no indication of when these tests were performed, as such they’re all being attributed to a single day. Reporting f*ckups such as this should be ignored.

Sites we like.
If Instagram is your thing, give us a follow and help us achieve our dream of hawking cute tops, shoes and handbags from Walmart as the next fashion and lifestyle influencer.
We also set up a Parler account and a MeWe page, which for the time being are just mirrors of our Facebook page.
Speaking of mirrors, you can also find us over on Odysee.com. This will be our YouTube backup just in case we get caught up in one of their wrongthink purges.
As a small percentage of idiots ventilate one another with reckless abandon, we diligently record, document and illustrate every blame-it-on-______ event. Your support in any amount is greatly appreciated.
If you’d like to support others in the Chicago Scanner community, we ask that you please support those who provide everyone with up to the minute news and information by supporting – Spot News, Chicago Scanner, CrimeIsDown.com & Solutions & Resources Street Pastors
Ad Blockers: We do make a few pennies from ad revenue, so if you wouldn’t mind whitelisting us if you run an ad blocker that would be super.
Brave Users: click on the BAT triangle in the address bar to either send a tip or make a monthly standing contribution. If you’re not using the Brave browser, you should be.
We compile our own dataset using the following sources: Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Homicide Watch Chicago (no longer updated), DNAInfo Chicago (out of business), Chicago Redeye Homicide Tracker (no longer updated), NBC5 Chicago, Chicago Tribune’s Shooting Tracker & Homicide Tracker, Cook County Medical Examiner, CPD’s Historical Data Set, City of Chicago Data Portal, Chicago Police Department Arrest Record Search and CPD CLEARMAP.
Community areas and neighborhoods are determined by the Chicago Tribune’s Boundaries App and/or Crimeisdown.com’s most excellent Incident Map.
Editor’s note: All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders. We count homicides, whereas the CPD counts murders. A homicide, or a non-fatal shooting, regardless of type or by whom, within the city limits of Chicago counts towards our total metric, including anything on the expressways. CPD-involved, ISP-involved and justifiable homicides all count. Reckless homicides may count if the Medical Examiner rules that the cause of death was a homicide. Suicides do not count. Additional definitions can be found on the Glossary page.
