Over the weekend, Illinois surged past 11 thousand confirmed cases of COVID-19. Governor JB Pritzker says he thinks most people are doing the right thing, staying at home.  Prtizker also says the state will need more ventilators to prepare for a worst case scenario. We’ll speak with an Illinois engineer whose team created a device meant to help.
