Thank you for showing me this. I can definitely add this into the mix of data that I show. In fact, I will show it for the first time in today's update since so far we have no Walgreens, and I am still looking for what I will be showing today. I will then show it again later in the week when it updates.

I'm not sure if this has been shared here yet or not, but I recall a few Covid Youtube videos back there was a brief highlight of the Chicago Covid Dashboard. While I know you highlight wastewater for parts of Cook County can show an increase/decrease in cases, there is another dashboard I'd like you to consider as well: This dash can break down testing, cases, and deaths by zip codes within Chicago. I cannot attach a screenshot because the image size is too large, but to navigate to this area follow the link and these directions.
https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/covid-19/home/covid-dashboard.html
Link ≥ Cases by Zip Code (located on the top bar of the dash) ≥ Locate the map under "Covid Metrics For Chicago By Zip Code" on the right side of the dash and from the options above it select "Cases" > From there you'll be able to hover over zip codes and see population, testing, case break down, a positivity, deaths and a slew of other data.
While I recognize testing is still way down, I do like seeing how my specific zip code/neighborhood is doing with Covid through this dash because it seems pretty clear.
For instance, 60618 which has a population of 90,000+ has a 20% positivity rate based on tests/cases as of August 16, 2023. This updates every Wednesday. Would it be possible to start incorporating the positive case dashboard into Covid updates on Wednesdays or Sundays? Let me know! I know I'm not the only one watching from the city of Chicago/Cook County, so this would be very helpful! Thank you!
