NEWS on COVID-19 in Illinois: https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-covid-19-pandemic-chicago-illinois-news-20201222-cy3haqwjn5eu5jkscgpld46kvm-story.html
Preliminary numbers show this is the deadliest year in U.S. history, mainly because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Associated Press reported Tuesday morning. The United States is on track to see more than 3.2 million deaths this year, or at least 400,000 more than in 2019.
Meanwhile, Illinois public health officials Tuesday announced 116 additional fatalities, bringing the statewide death toll to 15,414 since the start of the pandemic.
The state also announced 6,239 new and probable cases of COVID-19, a day after logging its lowest number of cases — 4,699 — in nearly two months. The total number of known infections in Illinois was 911,308 since March.

It provides a temporary $300 per week supplemental jobless benefit and a $600 direct stimulus payment to most Americans, along with a new round of subsidies for hard-hit businesses, restaurants, and theaters and money for schools, health care providers and renters facing eviction
