Where are you getting your data? Looking at Worldmeters stats, WI appears to have been on the increase in terms of new cases from 6/18 through 7/26, with only a decrease this past week which is as likely due to typical delays in testing response. Deaths have continued to increase since 7/10 although the numbers remain really low (8/1/20 7-day average of 8).
It’s not as simple as looking at a single stat, such as daily numbers or even percent of positive. None are valuable on their own. For the past month If you went into the hospital or some other medical facility you were tested for covid (tons more testing). Those procedures don’t happen on the weekend, therefore there is a weekly “spike” in percent positive. This spike is false/fake. As I said, our death rate has dropped and is now stable below 2%. I believe it is currently at 1.7%.
if this is so severe and we are increasing in positive cases exponentially, why Is the death rate going down? Simple answer is that, though serious, the virus doesn’t kill as many as originally thought.
In addition, MLB is proving to me that covid is way more widespread than thought. In the past 3 months my work group of 34 people, all of which have contact with the public, both while working and on personal time, has only had one positive covid test. We only get tested if there are symptoms. Meanwhile, In the last 2 weeks, professional athletes who have minimal public contact, but get tested everyday, have had numerous cases...... That tells me that if the general public got tested on a daily basis there would be a crap ton more positives, which by default would drop the death rate.
MLB is showing covid is super widespread, way more than many believe.
