We better have widespread testing available for everyone by then so we can maintain some sense of normalcy and feel like we are catching and isolating most of the cases.
-
It would be nice if they did not deem construction essential business, it's not quite as important as factories, but obviously still a potential breeding ground due to the length of time they are hanging around the site and repeated exposure.
-
I have to say it, but wrong again (although you're not wrong as often as the liberal bunch would have you believe).
-
On the other hand, Wisconsin's percent positive is as low as it's been in weeks. Promising to see on Tuesday when numbers tend to shoot back up from weekend lows: https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/05/12/wisconsin-coronavirus-193-new-cases-state-nears-reopening-goal/3114828001/?fbclid=IwAR3wQszAMW84GSnEf6UsaxI60zhZ3yK6lHGCKB5Hh7Z_uAr2qXgsNahA3ys

Maybe weather does play a decent factor in this; in Milwaukee we've regularly had sub 50 degree days the last few weeks, which is supposedly the ideal temperature for the virus to thrive. Also, crowded parks don't necessarily result in transmission like crowded restaurants or indoor events. If restaurants have truly been packed for awhile, then I for one may breathe a bit easier.
-
But it wouldn't be much higher among asymptomatic people, and a lot of these antibody samplings are doing the best to be random (not easy obviously though). 4-6% sounds about right for the majority of America outside of the high impact cities like NYC, Detroit, New Orleans, etc.
-
We don't even try to social distance from the regular flu though. I agree it's overhyped a bit, but your second sentence is just not true.
-
That was four weeks ago, so I doubt it. They were a bit circumstantial, so I think the protests had more of a negative impact than the elections since the numbers were stable if not a decrease in rate for the couple weeks leading up to this one. Didn't realize the meat packing plant outbreaks were largely a factor in the numbers from the last couple days.
-
Wisconsin's positive test percentage is back in double digits as well Wouldn't surprise me if a large contributor to that was the poor way the protestors handled their business in a mob-like scene as opposed to Connecticut for example where they stayed largely in their cars.
-
So far today Wisconsin is recording its lowest percent positive rate in a long time (6.9%). It has certainly been at least a few weeks since we've seen it under 7%. Hope that sticks and as long as we don't see a bump up in a couple weeks from the protests, I'd feel good about a gradual reopening trend here.
-
Yeah I'm a little more nervous outside on high wind days like today. I did go out and putt at a local golf course putting green today (only a mile away from where the Brookfield, WI rally was today and it crossed my mind, but the wind was the opposite direction thankfully. Warm/humid/calm conditions should be best to mitigate the spread, which we'll have some of this summer I'd imagine.
-
If there is an area that can do this now it would probably be in the SE, as the heat/humidity component will be a good test and may show that things can still be handled if we open up some businesses.
-
To me it starts with the two party political system. Very toxic, and Trump hasn't helped things at all.
-
Hi Hoosier, question about the AmPol board; were you Hoosier on that board as well? If so, we need a moderator similar to you to balance the bias out
If you've read it at all, you can see how it's nothing but an echo chamber largely outside a few alternative viewpoint posters. The New England thread about Coronavirus, on the other hand, is a great, balanced discussion, and ours is pretty good too, just not as active.
-
I thought they were going to do a drive-in protest (with some popcorn)
-
He also recommended as of March 9 that young, healthy people still travel on cruises if they have one planned.
-
Yikes, I just read the list of everything she is banning, including yard work in general Sounds like a bit of a power trip. I understand Michigan is not a great trajectory, but the populace will be none too happy, and I'm guessing come next election they may voice accordingly.
-
Hopefully it won't be needed.

Spring/Summer 2020 Banter/Complaint Thread
wisconsinwx replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
There was also an April 14-15 snowstorm in much of Minnesota and Wisconsin back in 2018, so make it three consecutive years with a storm over the same two day period if it verifies. -
Well it’s possible when you’ve got pneumonia but also tested positive for COVID-19....I think I know what the death will be attributed to.
-
What they’ll probably have to do and the only way to keep it contained at the point we do start opening up is require everyone who hasn’t been infected yet wear masks and hopefully there are antibody tests readily available and those who have already been infected and test negative would be the only ones who don’t need to wear masks.
-
I wonder if some of the asymptomatic cases had loss of smell or taste but didn't realize it because it's not a standard symptom of cold/flu by itself. That might help us eliminate some of the guesswork if there are some who have that symptom alone and we told them to isolate themselves.
-
I’m pretty sure COVID-19 has a much higher R0 than H1N1 which means more would typically have it at any one time given similar social patterns. Edit: ninja’d by Hoosier.
-
Is better forcing still indicated in Wisconsin? Last I checked that was the case, thinking Monday's emphasis on convection was in N/C Illinois and Tuesday's was a bit to the north due to expecting the warm front to lift north.
-
Unless they show us the sample size/extent of their sampling, I would take these ratings with a grain of salt. It seems like all the states getting a B are the ones most advanced in this pandemic and almost seems like a scolding for all the D and F states. Oakland, CA’s County should get a low grade though; research what happened last weekend there.
