Graph follows. Sorry I can’t figure out the legend for some reason. The top line is Cumulative IL Confirmed Cases and the bottom is the IL Daily New Cases.

Mama- we all knew it would happen, despite what some there felt. This article has interesting information. Note the prescient words of the Murphysboro pharmacy employee. (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/08/us/coronavirus-rural-america-cases.html)

Diver Down - I understand the confusion. There are really only 4 lines that matter, and they are the first four listed in the legend. Whoever made the chart didn’t edit out the extra lines that didn’t have additional content that mattered.
