* Press release…

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) today announced 2,294 new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Illinois, including 59 additional deaths.

Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 96,485 cases, including 4,234 deaths, in 100 counties in Illinois. The age of cases ranges from younger than one to older than 100 years. Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported 21,297 specimens for a total of 603,241. The statewide 7-day rolling positivity rate, May 9-15, 2020 is 14%.

*All data are provisional and will change. In order to rapidly report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported in real-time. Information is constantly being entered into an electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as additional information is gathered. Information for deaths and counties previously reported have changed, therefore, today’s numbers have been adjusted.

  1. Every day the list of reported cases climbs. What’s not reported is how many of those cases are actually still active. DPH makes it sound like there is 98,000 people out there currently with the virus. They are not saying how many of those have recovered. Why not? Asking for a friend. :)

  2. Some counties do Knox Warren and Adams. Warren uses Facebook so does McDonough.
