1/ Allow me to interrupt your #doomscrolling with some #Wisconsin #COVID news from today's @DHSWI update.

tl;dr: Every @wisgop legislator who has said that COVID is not a real and present threat the health and life of tens of thousands of us is a liar and/or an ignorant fraud.
2/ While today's 1672 new cases do not break a record, it is a top-ten day. All ten of those days have been since colleges, universities, and schools reopened in late August and early September. Image
3/ Much has been made of the stories of WI cities and towns with universities leading the way. That is barely half the story. Most of the story is that much of Red Wisconsin, represented by the @wisgop, is not wearing their masks. Image

1/ Today's handful of scary-ass #Wisconsin #COVID facts. Today was the third day in a row of more than 2000+ new cases reported (2283) by @DHSWI.
2/ On Aug 31, the 7-day average of reported new cases was 678.4. Today it is 1708.4, an increase of 252%.

On Aug 31, the 14-day average of of reported new cases was 671.9. Today it is 1375.9, an increase of 205%.

In 19 days.
3/ I don't have the words to describe this graph. Which is fine--it describes itself. Image

1/ A few more scary #Covid_19 #Wisconsin graphs because HAPPY FRIDAY. Let's start with how we are in really uncharted new-cases-per-day territory. Image
2/ Many people, rightly, blame the UW system for bringing back in-person learning. Dane Co, which accounts for just 9% of the state population, has 14% of its infections this month. Milwaukee, which has 16% of the population, has 11%: UW-Milwaukee is virtual.
3/ Comparing WI's three biggest counties, you can see Dane is the clear outlier. Milwaukee and Waukesha, since full mask-mandate, have very closely tracked. Image

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. Image
3/ This also. Just, you know, bad. Image
