@AmyBuchananan @COVID19Tracking Curious - why are you comparing these two? IL peaked at 12K (7day-avg) cases a day in mid-Nov. FL peaked at 15K in mid-Jan. IL is further along in coming down from a peak.

Per-capita, FL is doing better than IL with deaths and cases.

I don't think the % is really 8 times the threshold. It is high and concerning (around 15%), but not 40%. This thread explains why.

It is getting tiresome watching media, government, and other Twitter folks present erroneous numbers for certain states’ #Covid19 positive testing percentage.

Many of the Johns Hopkins percentages are flat wrong, and it's the denominator problem (again).

@uzubell319 @COVID19Tracking It might vary by state. Univ of Illinois is testing at least 15K a day. You have to get tested twice a week to remain on campus. It does not look like IL's numbers testing #'s have jumped, so probably not included.

CSS Grid can be used to make simple table layouts that are responsive to screen size.

I'm not sure why I didn't know this before, but I recently realized adding "novalidate" to a FORM makes testing your form validations so much easier. It turns off the browsers validation and you can test your code.

@CatieKhvorost There were not many good training sites like Treehouse when I started. Building websites is the best way to learn IMO.

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@CatieKhvorost I have not attended any at this point. How are you learning Web Dev? I hope it is going well!

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

If you haven't learned CSS Flexbox yet or are still a little confused by it, I highly recommend:

@hammer301 don’t give up!

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@Sigrone Actually that is a great idea. It is a smaller topic, so that might not take as much time.

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@Sigrone Thanks! I don't have anything in the works right now because I don't have the time, but I hope to get back to it if I find the time

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@alec29studios thanks! Glad to hear you found it helpful.

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@melharp2 I haven't tried TextWrangler, so can't compare. Brackets is my favorite of all I've tried. It has the best look and feel. Try it!

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@wickedurge Thanks! I'm glad you like them.

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@awaemma You can install the "Emmet" plugin thru the Extension Manager. That should do what you want. Hope that helps.

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@emeyerre You have to write your own snippets, but with the extension it is easy.

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@emeyerre It's Brackets Snippets (by edc). Make sure you get the one by edc. It's the best.

[Lisa Catalano @lcatdesigns]

@emeyerre I don't think so. I use a Snippets extension to help me write my code faster. What help with Backbone are you looking for?
