My husbands brother in law tested positive for Coronavirus.

They took him to McCormick place last night. He has 5 kids. Now all under at home strict quarantine

They’ve all be coughing since last week.

My husbands sister was just asking my husband to go fix her house this week and my husband had planned to go finish her bathroom on wed-frid

I can’t believe she knew they had all been coughing for over a week and didn’t tell him that! That fucking cunt! It’s not just a conspiracy, it’s a real fucking disease and my immune system is weak and compromised, the likelihood of me surviving it are not high!!!

Are they actually taking patients there?

@luctoretemergo yes, from my understanding they are now taking patients there. They have 1000 beds.
My friends niece is a phlebotomists, they took 5 phlebotomists from her team over there too, they set the 5 up at a hotel so they don’t put their household occupants at risk.

@KaysHealingPath What befuddles me (and this is stupid Chicago politics) is how Walsh Construction got the no-bid contract to convert it to a sort-of hospital....I know it shouldn't matter but it's just more money that's walking out the door...sorry I'm being petty.
Hope your relative is ok...and you too!

@luctoretemergo yes well I don’t agree that Walsh should have gotten it, but Walsh does a lot of the city’s work and the City OWEs millions to Walsh. The city is behind on all their bills, the reason I know this is because I used to work at Lakeshore and we ran dumpster trucks for the city’s construction projects on Walsh projects. The city pays out over 180 days.
So I’m sure the city just saw it as a kick back. IMO they should have awarded to a number of other construction companies, but I’m sure none had the man power needed to complete the task so rapidly.

@KaysHealingPath As they kids say (or used to say): "you be knowin".
Thanks for that....it's just typical city money-madness. Hope you have a good day - be well stay safe! :)

@luctoretemergo of course it is.
But I’m sure not many other construction companies have the capital to sit around and wait for the city to finally pay out.

Shit we were a sub on a city job once and took over 12 months to get a pay out. As soon as the main contractor recieced his waiver and check they had our waiver ready and check ready 24hrs after - it’s stressful af. We have zero interest in taking part in any city projects in the near future.
