"Chicago officials announced Thursday that a stay-at-home advisory for the city will go into effect on Monday. It calls on residents to stay home unless it is essential to go out, stop having guests over, avoid unnecessary travel and cancel traditional Thanksgiving plans.
"We're asking you to avoid any non essential travel. And if you must travel, then you must either quarantine for 14 days, or depending upon the state confirm a negative COVID test before coming back," said Mayor Lori Lightfoot, CBS Chicago reports. "You must cancel the normal Thanksgiving plans, particularly if they include guests that do not live in your immediate household."
State public health officials reported 12,702 new confirmed or probable COVID-19 cases in Illinois on Thursday, the third day in a row Illinois has set a new daily case count record. Illinois also reported a new high of more than 5,200 coronavirus hospitalizations."
"I cannot emphasize that enough bars and restaurants, unfortunately, will remain closed for indoor dining, or curfew or non essential businesses remains in place. From 11pm to 6am. And while these restrictions remain the same. We will be ramping up our enforcement. I want to add this point, loud and clear. Please follow the rules. We want you to be able to stay open. But if you do not follow the rules, and we will take swift and immediate action," Lightfoot said.

Just a little FYI: IF you are planning on celebrating thanksgiving with people outside of your house, TODAY is your quarantine start date.
I agree with this. And when we began moving out of the more restrictive phases, it was based on science/numbers, and was a very gradual process. Unfortunately, as you said, restrictions are not being followed. More restaurants in our small town are open for indoor dining than not. Some are distancing inside, some are not. I still do carryout, but I am trying to stick with those restaurants that are following guidelines and are not doing indoor dining.

Yeah, I guess I was just meaning in comparison to before. I guess people just got tired of trying.

Halloween parties most recently. Colder temps are also pushing more people indoors for dining and at home get togethers in northern half of country.
I've called some hotels in NC/SC. Some are running at full occupancy with many travelers going to FL.

Those are just barely beginning to show up. Next week will be VERY telling and a preview into the holiday numbers.
And many college kids are coming home for the holidays.

My state has had a mask mandate since May 1 and virtually everyone I see is wearing them in public. Our numbers are going through the roof because people are getting together at private gatherings and in homes. I highly doubt they’re wearing masks at those gatherings despite the fact they would probably provide at least some protection.
Private gatherings at homes with a lot of eating and drinking. Don't see a lot of mask wearing in those gatherings.
