Macon County Illinois health data

The news agencies are widely reporting that respiratory diseases are currently on the rise.

The CDC website reports that reporting of case and death count data was discontinued May 11, 2023. The dataset was last updated November 2, 2023.

The CDC does not say whether the data are still being collected and analyzed.

Here's what the data look like for 2023. The most recently reported cases are at a very low level. But the most recent data available are from May, 2023.

There is some data available at the Illinois Department of Public Health website now. The latest (as of 08/24/23) data available for COVID cases was updated 05/12/23. It is weekly case numbers; not daily.

I will be looking to see if there is anything more useful or current in the coming weeks. Meanwhile cases for the week ending 05/07/23: 53

Here is what the published data looks like.

COVID Information 01/13/2022
Cumulative data for 13 days from January 1 to January 13 were published. We can no longer publish "7-day average" data but instead hope to get updates weekly at least.
For 13 days, 292 new cases were reported for an average of 22 cases per day. This was plotted with previous daily average information. Going forward for a while, the graph will show longer lines between the 7-day data points.
