1/ I haven't been posting about #Covid_19 in #Wisconsin lately because it is terrible. But just a handful of tweets today.
2/ This graph should panic everyone. I know @DHSWI testing data are somewhat skewed as they don't report repeated negative tests of the same individual as new tests, especially if those are negative. Still. This is terrifying.
3/ This also. Just, you know, bad.
4/ On a positive note, UW-Milwaukee has kept its classes almost entirely online and limited dorm occupancy. Marquette is back in-person and has seen an outbreak. But mostly I just want to say, WELL DONE MILWAUKEE.
5/ Also positive: Hospitalizations are not spiking (yet) and deaths are on a pace to beat August but not by too much (yet). On the other hand, the MEDIAN Wisconsin county now has a greater than 1% infection rate, and six are over 2%.
