https://patch.com/illinois/naperville/best-case-scenario-august-peak-virus-dupage-county
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If
severe control measures including strict social distancing are not put in
place, coronavirus infections could top 210,000 in DuPage County by early May —
23 percent or more of the population. That’s the conclusion of Columbia
University researchers as reported by the New York Times, which compiled maps
showing the estimated spread of the virus in every county in America under
varying scenarios for control measures. Under the best-case scenario, including
strict imposition of measures like closing schools, banning mass gatherings,
and testing and quarantining sick people and their contacts, the peak of
infection could be pushed past July 31, with as few as 9,000 cases — just 1
percent of the DuPage County population. But even in a scenario falling
somewhere between these two extremes, the number of infections could top
160,000 by the middle of June, about 18 percent of the population, the
researchers concluded.)

— As advertising dries up amid coronavirus shutdown, Washington news outlets
lay off staff – Katherine Khashimova Long
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/local-business/as-advertising-dries-up-amid-coronavirus-shutdown-washington-news-outlets-lay-off-staff/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Coronavirus
has infected Washington’s media ecosystem. The statewide shutdown of most
businesses and a halt to events, ordered to slow the virus’s spread, have dried
up advertising revenues at news outlets across the state. Layoffs and furloughs
have followed, putting additional pressure on the remaining reporters and
editors, who are already working overtime — and usually working from home — to
feed the public’s need for news about the virus. Almost no paper in Washington
has remained unscathed.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Media
readership and viewership is soaring as citizens seek life-or-death information
about the coronavirus: Where to get tested? Does my hospital have enough
ventilators? Is it safe to go outside? But the accompanying economic decline is
killing off advertising – for restaurants, cars, travel, entertainment – and
other support that has kept many news organizations going. For some, the events
of the past few weeks have already proved too much for their fragile existence.
Alternative weeklies have stopped printing. Local dailies are laying off staff
at already decimated newsrooms. Many others, including digital-only newsrooms,
are hanging on by a thread. It’s happening around the world: Newspapers in
Australia and Britain announced in the past few days that they were going out
of business or suspending print publication. “Journalists are essential in
this moment,” Craig Aaron, president and co-CEO of Free Press, a
Washington-based advocacy nonprofit, told me in an interview. “We need to
keep reporters working, and we have to do it now.”)
