will county at covid-19 warning level As of Friday, Aug. 14, Will County was one of 14 Illinois counties placed on the Illinois Department of Public Health’s (IDPH) weekly list of counties considered to be at a “warning level” (also known as “orange level”) for Coronavirus.

Other Illinois counties on the latest list included Bureau, Cass,

Clinton, Franklin, Greene, Grundy, Hancock, Jefferson, Kane, LaSalle, Moultrie, Perry, and Union.

This means that there are signs of increased COVID-19 activity within the county. Two troublesome factors cited for Will County were an increased rate in the incidence of positive tests (93

per 100,000 residents, after a rate of 71 per 100,000 residents the previous week), and a two-week increase in percentage of visits to the hospital for CLI (Coronavirus Like Illness).

Counties designated as “warning levels” are asked to implement measures for increased testing and contact tracing. WCHD (Will County Health Department), however, has already been active in doing both. For testing, the WCCHC (Will County Community Health Center) Mobile Medical Unit has been participating in

both walk-in (open to the public) and congregate settings (for clients and employees of various shelters and organizations) testing for several months.

(For the latest schedules, go to https:// w i l l c o u n t y h e a l t h . o rg / m o b i l e medical-van-coronavirus-testingdates-congregate-settings-andpublic/.)

The Contact Tracing Program, however, it still in its infancy.

Thus far, the newly hired contact tracers in Will County are finding a disturbing “mixed bag” of attitudes within the county’s residents

identified as close contacts.

In Will County’s program, similar to other counties, contact tracers are working remotely to get in touch with these residents who may have been exposed to Coronavirus by someone who recently tested positive. Currently, 30 contact tracers are working various remote shifts, making phone calls from 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Saturday. Up to 60 contact tracers may eventually be hired.

WCHD Contact Tracers Program Manager Angela Maffeo says contact tracers making the calls are definitely noticing too much of a “so what” attitude out there.

“At first, they are often willing to talk, but then they stop when our contact tracers ask about who they were with at the location where they may have picked up the virus.

They don’t want to tell on anybody, even though it is crucial that these close contacts be informed and told to quarantine to avoid potentially spreading the virus to others.”

WCHD Contact Tracers Program Manager Susan O’Keefe says people not caring about those beyond their own households is another problem. “You often hear the attitude of, ‘what’s in it for me?’ In other words, if their family is okay, they feel they don’t have to worry. Or even within their own family, you might have four people test positive after going to an event, and then the one person who tests negative thinks he or she is home free. That’s not true. They could still become symptomatic

While human beings often want to look on the positive side, there is a difference between being positive and being careless. One common example, Maffeo and

O’Keefe both agreed, is someone getting tested for COVID-19 after being told they might have been exposed, but going about normal activities and social events while waiting for their test result. “They can’t just say, ‘okay I did the right thing and got tested, now I can go back to regular life.’ That is dangerous,” Maffeo said. “Because if the test does turn out positive a few days later, they may have exposed many other people to

COVID-19 by the time the contact tracer calls them.”

There is also a popular attitude of “I’m only going to social events with a small group of people, so I’m fine.” In that case, O’Keefe says, they end up ignoring the guideline about keeping six feet of social distance.

“It’s a basic attitude of, ‘I’m over it already. I’m going to this

Dave Says: Useable education a good investment dear dave, What advice do you have for college students who want to plan for the future and start building wealth?

I’ll finish my master’s degree in marketing in less than two years, and I’ve been pretty lucky so far because my parents have paid for school. I bring in about $2,200 a month at my job, and I have $24,000 in savings.

Dear Alex,

Alex

If I were you, I’d get really good at the whole marketing thing. At this stage of the game, you are your best investment. You’re a go-getter, so just keep on going and getting it.

If you continue on this path, and by that I mean working, going to school, and piling up cash, you’re going to be able to put that marketing know-how to work in a big way. You’ll be able to use some of the cash you’ve got stored away to set yourself up in your new life. What you’re doing right now, in your situation, will give you a better return mathematically than a mutual

fund.

Do you get what I’m saying? An education that is usable is more valuable to you at this stage of the game than investing. Now, when you finish school and start living life in your new career, good growth stock mutual funds are what I’d recommend for retirement. And at that point, if you’ve got an extra $30,000 or $40,000 sitting there, that’s even better. Great start, Alex. Well done!

I’ll be 72 in October, and I have a Roth IRA I haven’t done anything with in a while. I’ve got about $30,000 in it, and I believe I read where the government said there will be a mandatory withdrawal at age 72. If this is true, what should I do with that money?

The subject property is subject to general real estate taxes, special assessments, or special taxes levied against said real estate and is offered for sale without any representation as to quality or quantity of title and without recourse to Plaintiff and in “AS IS” condition. The sale is further subject to confirmation by the court.

If the property is a condominium and the foreclosure takes place after 1/1/2007, purchasers other than the mortgagees will be required to pay any assessment and legal fees due under The Condominium Property Act, 765 ILCS 605/9(g)(1) and (g)(4).

If the property is located in a common interest community, purchasers other than mortgagees will be required to pay any assessment and legal fees due under the Condominium Property Act, 765 ILCS 605/18.5(g-1).

If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to

IRAs, but double-check with your investment advisor to make sure.

If it does apply to Roths, I’d take the required minimum distribution and move that amount to other investments. Or, since it’s only $30,000, if you’ve got another nest egg you plan to live on, you could just have some fun with the money.

In any case, talk to your investment professional before taking action.

If he has the heart of a teacher and cares about your best interests, he’ll look at your overall financial situation and guide you in making the right decision.

My in-laws have very generously offered my wife and I $250,000 to help with a down payment on a home. I know the amount exceeds the IRS’s yearly gift allowance, but they want to structure it as a family loan and have already told us they don’t care if we pay it back. If we accept, we technically owe them a lot of money.

a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

Upon payment in full of the amount bid, the purchaser shall receive a Certificate of Sale, which will entitle the purchaser to a Deed to the real estate after Confirmation of the sale. The successful purchaser has the sole responsibility/expense of evicting any tenants or other individuals presently in possession of the subject premises.

The property will NOT be open for inspection and Plaintiff makes no representation as to the condition of the property. Prospective bidders are admonished to check the Court file to verify all information.

IF YOU ARE THE MORTGAGOR (HOMEOWNER), YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN IN POSSESSION FOR 30 DAYS AFTER ENTRY OF AN ORDER OF POSSESSION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 15-1701(C) OF THE ILLINOIS MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE LAW.

If we say no, they may be offended.

What do you think about this and how it might impact the relationship?

dear James,

James

Well, it makes sense your wife would be onboard with the whole thing. It’s her dad making the offer, so of course she would be a lot more comfortable with the idea than you are.

This is a big deal, and it’s something you two should have a very serious conversation about. Get on the same page in every regard. Also, I’d recommend making sure you get everything in writing. See to it, as well, that it can be forgiven at the

maximum allowable annual gift rate.

In addition, in the event of death make sure it’s included in the estate, it’s forgiven, and there will be zero call on the note. In effect, that would make it an advance on your inheritance instead of debt. Under no circumstances should they, or any other heirs, have grounds to call the note. That’s a good question, James.

obiTUary kelly (nee grieff) Lois M. Kelly (nee Grieff), age 102, a resident of Yorkville, IL, former longtime resident of Plainfield, IL, passed on Tuesday, August 11, 2020 at The Grove of Fox Valley, Aurora, IL. She was born June 3, 1918 in Reddick, IL. Beloved wife of the late Leo F. Kelly, whom she married November 23, 1937 and who preceded her in death on May 4, 1987, loving mother of Ann (Ben) Wasman of The Villages, FL, Daniel Kelly of Plainfield and the late Lawrence (Carol) Kelly, cherished grandmother of seven, great-grandmother and greatgreat grandmother of many, devoted daughter of the late Fred, Jr. and Anna (nee Denker) Grieff, dear sister of the late Floyd (the late Josephine) Grieff, the late Lyle (the late Ruth) Grieff and Dorothy (the late Vernon) DeGrush, fond aunt, great-aunt and greatgreat aunt of many.

Lois grew up on her family’s farm north of Reddick, IL and was a graduate of Mazon High School, Mazon, IL. She lived with her husband, Leo, above the original Overman-Jones Funeral Home in Plainfield for many years, answering the phones and helping the funeral directors with their daily tasks.

Lois was active with the Boy Scouts of America

in her younger y e a r s a n d was a member of St. Patr ick Catholic Church, Yorkville and a former member of St. Mary Immaculate Church, Plainfield.

Future inurnment will be at St. Mary Cemetery, Minooka, IL. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lois’s memory may be made to: Les Turner ALS Foundation, 5550 W.

They also might say, ‘I’m in a part of the county that has less cases.’

But that does not matter. We are a very mobile society. Even if we stay put, others are driving all over the county and coming from other counties. We know of a family that hardly ever left the house because a couple of them had compromised health situations. They were just running occasional errands for food or to the bank, and yet, one of them caught Coronavirus.”

How do you know you are getting a call from a contact tracer?

Your caller ID should read “COVID CONTACT,” with the phone number “312-777 1999.” And as Maffeo points out, there are many ways that a contact tracer can help you. “Some of whom contract tracers speak with bring up HIPAA laws that they feel should keep the tracers from being able to ask certain questions. But we can e-mail them a copy of legislation that shows communicable disease surveillance is permissible to control the spread of disease.

In addition, contact tracers can provide a written excuse from work or school, and even a written notice that says you are now cleared to return to work.”

O’Keefe says there is one analogy she keeps hearing that is very true.

“It states ‘we are building this airplane while we are flying it.’

And that is exactly right, because

there is so much we still have to learn about how this virus works and how it spreads.”

Another complication being studied on the fly is how to assist with the mental health perspective of the contact tracers themselves.

“This is very challenging work,” O’Keefe explained. “They might be talking to someone with a small infant who could be or already is infected. Or speaking with a patient who is already in the hospital and now has more to worry about. During our weekly virtual Teams meetings for the tracers we work hard on keeping our spirits up. And that’s another challenge for now and the future.”

Maffeo and O’Keefe both say that people often ask “what can we do to keep our state from going back to a situation where we are told to stay home and local businesses are closed?’

They say the answer is exactly what it was when everything started in the spring: Follow all guidelines concerning mask wearing, social distancing, staying away from large gatherings, and washing your hands frequently.
