Good afternoon! It’s Tuesday, and I haven’t had a haircut in nearly three months. I’m transitioning from “emo Fidel Castro” to “desert island Einstein.” Are you also having a hard time? Feel free to take this WBEZ survey to let us know what’s important to you. Here’s what you need to know today.

1. Illinois sees record number of cases in single day

State officials today announced 4,014 new cases, the highest number reported in a day so far. That figure comes after a record 29,266 tests were conducted. The total number of cases now stands at 83,021 since the outbreak began. Officials also announced 144 fatalities, pushing Illinois’ death toll to 3,601.

Gov. JB Pritzker today called on state lawmakers to return to Springfield so that “so that we begin to put our financial and economic house back in order.” Pritzker also called on lawmakers to provide relief for renters, homeowners and businesses that have struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot today said the city is prepared to “take action” against houses of worship that hold in-person services during Illinois’ stay-at-home order. Under the state’s guidelines, gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited.

Lightfoot would not say what specific action the city would take. Her comments come after an Albany Park church held services on Sunday. [Chicago Tribune]

2. Fauci warns of serious consequences if states reopen too soon

4. Boeing CEO warns a U.S. airline will “most likely” go out of business

Dave Calhoun, the CEO of Chicago-based Boeing, said a major U.S. airline will “most likely” fold after federal aid expires in September. Appearing in an interview on NBC’s Today show, Calhoun also said the industry faces a long road to recovery, as traffic levels may not hit 50% until the end of the year.

Calhoun’s dire warning comes as demand for flights has collapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic. [CNBC]

5. A look at the Illinois lawmaker fighting the state’s stay-at-home order

Republican state Rep. Darren Bailey made national news last month when he won a downstate legal battle against Gov. JB Pritzker’s stay-at-home order. The court ruling only allowed Bailey to ignore the order, and Bailey has since asked a judge to vacate the temporary restraining order.

Bailey told WBEZ’s Dan Mihalopoulos that his motives for fighting the governor’s order are pure.

“Darren Bailey is a Christian, a husband, a father, a grandfather and a farmer and a state representative,” Bailey told WBEZ. “I feel like I’m just your typical, concerned American patriot.”

Bailey, who sponsored state legislation that would force Chicago to split from the rest of the state, said that he is alarmed that there are not more patriots like him in the Chicago area. [WBEZ]

Meanwhile, 71% of Illinois residents approve of Pritzker’s handling of the outbreak while 27% disapprove, according to a new poll from The Washington Post and Ipso. [Washington Post]

Oh, and one more thing …

I’m running out of things to watch on TV faster than stores are running out of toilet paper. (Again, I do not understand the run on toilet paper.)

This week’s episode of Nerdette talks to New York Times TV critic Margaret Lyons about new shows you can watch on various streaming services. It’s a great episode for anyone in dire need of something to do for the … next couple of weeks. [Nerdette]

And speaking of Nerdette, host Greta Johnsen will interview acclaimed author N.K. Jemisin today at 6 p.m. You can watch the interview live on WBEZ’s Facebook page. [WBEZ]

Tell me something good …

Ugh, I wanna go on vacation, but I obviously will not travel anywhere. So I’d like to know what your favorite vacation spot was before the pandemic.

“Hilton Head Island. Phenomenal beaches, great food, lots of bike trails, a wonderful place to relax and do nothing. Visited there twice a year the past two years; can’t wait to go back.”
