Confirmed COVID-19 Cases: A Nationwide and Local Breakdown

By Chris Katsaros and Enrique Luna

While New York has had the largest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases by a wide margin, the other states in the top 10 most infected have fluctuated.

The state of Illinois is the 6th largest in the United States by population. Confirmed cases of COVID-19 are expected to peak in mid-May.

Cook County encompasses the Chicagoland area, which is seeing a pattern and expected peak similar to the rest of Illinois.

COVID-19 has not been affecting every demographic in Chicago equally. The disparities in confirmed cases among different demographics is alarming.
