A service called Worldometers has been keeping track of coronavirus infections and deaths, disaggregated in a number of ways.
The latest report from Sweden counts 1,110,147 infections and 14,621 deaths.
The latest report from Illinois counts 1,466,813 infections and 26,123 deaths.
Conditions in Illinois are such that a transition to a full reopening is in order. The full reopening of the state, subject to local mask mandates or businesses requesting customers to mask up, commenced last Friday, 11 June. As of this afternoon, the state counts 13.6 million doses of the various vaccines administered; they're still not disaggregating among finished and partial vaccinations, and the state's total count of the scary variants includes all of two thousand Delta and under three thousand Gamma infections diagnosed. That's not much change on a month ago.

Note that since last month's post, Worldometers counted fifteen additional corona deaths in Sweden. A year ago, a Foreign Affairs article suggested "Sweden’s Coronavirus Strategy Will Soon Be the World’s." In the early going, that didn't look like a good idea, particularly to people keeping score, but a year on, we're seeing headlines like "Sweden: Despite Variants, No Lockdowns, No Daily Covid Deaths."
Meanwhile, in Illinois, the good news is the bad news might be wrong: "Delta variant of COVID-19 ready to ravage unvaccinated in Illinois: ‘Some areas are going to blow up’" The sensationalist journalists are still claiming there will be a surge, but it's not yet showing up in the reports.
The state continues to administer vaccines. The latest count approaches thirteen million injections (the page doesn't disaggregate among finished and pending) and the latest count of those scary variants notes just over ten thousand, with 2,600 or so being whatever the "gamma" variant is.
These post will continue, less frequently, as long as update information is available.

Note the time series: a margin of terror that used to be growing by hundreds in a week is growing by around a hundred, or less. The details for the past seven months are on page 2.
