election over
voting is over and Wisconsin covid is blowing up , 3 times worst than a month ago....Wisconsin on Friday reported more than 6,000 new COVID-19 cases for the first time, capping the deadliest week of the pandemic so far.
The state Department of Health and Human Services on Friday reported 6,141 new cases and 62 new deaths, bringing the death toll to 2,256.
The last seven days have seen a staggering 284 people with COVID-19 die in Wisconsin. On Friday the average daily death toll, averaged over the last week, reached a new high of 41.
Two months ago, an average of seven people with COVID-19 died each day.
One model from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation shows between 5,000 and 6,900 lives could be lost to COVID-19 in Wisconsin by Jan. 1 if the virus spread doesn't slow down. If everyone in the state wore a face mask consistently, that number could reduce to about 4,900 deaths, the model shows.
But Wisconsin's daily death count of 62 on Friday was nearly double the model's projection of 33, which means the projection could be understating the potential level of death. The model predicts the state could see more than 100 deaths per day beginning Dec. 13.
