living situations where more extended families live together, housing in general (apartments and smaller houses), higher risk jobs in factories and grocery stores, lack of access to health coverage so less access to care ... this shouldnt be a big surprise

If China and India were accurately reporting, you would see very different statistics. And the US death rate is lower than most European countries. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

So of course that makes our 1,600,937 cases and 95,979 deaths (and counting) OK?

Well they already said it was a minority issue, but we know different.
Wait till after Memorial Day

Never. That’s a long time to be afraid.

I dont have the option to stay home. Since I work in the manufacturing sector, I am considered an essential worker. Our plant has yet to record a case, but that could change, especially if ALL the restrictions are lifted. I can try to limit my interaction with my co-workers as much as possible, but I dont like the idea that the guy running my machine on a previous shift might be out at the bar or going to the movies multiple times a week. We have to look out for and respect each other. I understand it's a delicate balance, but if enough of us Wisconsinites get sick, what we have already sacrificed will be lost.

Don't touch your face, wash your hand often, wipe any common surfaces you share with the other operator with an antiseptic wipe and you have nothing to worry about. Unless an infected person is close to you you are at very low risk. The numbers are being inflated and mingled with flu numbers to keep people frightened and compliant. They had the balls to say so on Ch 6 at 4pm during their stay home Milwaukee news conference and justified it. The true death toll from COVID is NOT what they are reporting.

stop trying to twist facts ... about 7-10% of the people have it and people are dying from it -- social distancing and closing businesses have helped slow the spread. Opening up slowly and with precautions makes sense. Talk to someone who has had this or who has lost a loved one to the disease. Talk to nurses and doctors in the hospitals that have seen a lot of cases. Stop trying to diminish the impact of the spread because you want things opened up. Another month of slowly opening with major changes is smart.

Saw it on Tv. Other states have admitted mingling data too, Minnesota included. You can not trust any of these death counts. If you have cancer with 2 weeks to live and you get COVID and die, you are counted as COVID

FOX News perhaps?

national health leaders yesterday said that they are finding Covid 19 deaths UNDERREPORTED -- that people probably had the virus when they died but had never been tested ... u DO believe that the virus exists and it spreads and thousands of people have died from it dont you?

CNN,Fox or some other Fake news media.

hospitalizations too -- the more people in the hospital the more strained the health care system (even if they pull through and get better - hopefully)

The CDC just dropped the death toll from COVID to 209 in Wisconsin. The rest are the FLU! https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm The number of U.S. deaths was changed from over 60,000 to 37,000 by the CDC. The misreporting and outright lies needs to end.

Incorrect. See comment above and read the entire page you are linking. The death toll reported by the cdc lags behind so will be lower. It was not revised

Milwaukee just admitted they are calling FLU deaths as COVID and the number is INFLATED! They justified it! The CDC lowered the numbers because they had to. You CAN NOT call a FLU death COVID!

But all those people just now being tested could have been infecting other people for a week or more. Without proper precautions taken by everyone it will just keep spreading and putting more people in the hospital or worse yet in the ICU. A few more weeks of separation and precautions could make a big difference.

The numbers are a lie, Milwaukee just admitted it, then tried to justify it. They have ou scared and need to keep you scared otherwise you might try to save your business. You can't ruin Trump if people get back to work.

So the CDC and Wisconsin Health Dept are trying to ruin Pres Trump? Now your true colors are showing. So all your comments are not about the pandemic and what's best for the citizens of this state and country but how emergency health actions are affecting your Fuehrer. Stop peddling propaganda. FYI the current CDC coronavirus numbers for Wisconsin are: 384 deaths and 9590 total positive cases. These numbers seem to mesh with the numbers posted above very accurately.

Just what everyone knew all along a
Trump troll

Why not, they are counting overdose deaths as COVID deaths whether or not they even had the virus. Did you know that between October and March there were between 30,000 and 60,0000 FLU deaths? Those are numbers from the CDC.

This is also untrue. They are not counting those as covid-19 deaths. Any outlet saying so is reporting false information.

You are right about flu deaths but consider the number of covid-19 deaths occurred in two months vs 6 months. That is stagering.

They just admitted they are counting deaths that are NOT COVID as if they were including FLU. You can have ZERO confidence in any number the spout, and they justified LYING!

Which just goes to prove you can't talk to
STUPID!!

the data listed clearly tells u NEGATIVE tests. Add negative and cases (i.e. Positive) and u get the number of tested. Simple Math.

Most people don't do the math, they just see the propaganda of the "new cases" reporting. They aren't being told the whole story, plainly and unvarnished. They are being purposely scared into submission.

Nope - most people can do the math. You are the one claiming it is propaganda. They simply state the number of cases and the number of negative tests. You are the one who either can't understand the numbers or are trying to claim some sort of manipulation. Most of us can do basic math and see the numbers for what they are - raw data. Nice try tho.

Were you scared in 2009 when H1N1 infected 60 million Americans? That was 60 times more cases than we’ve seen with COVID-19.

"scared" is a ridiculous word to use - this virus spreads way more easily than H1N1 and spreads quickly -- also we had a strong federal response early in the H1N1 outbreak -- so there was concern yes but this virus is different and our federal response has been too little too late to get it under control - failed Leadership at the national level has made this outbreak worse

No because h1n1 was no where near as severe. It was a bad flu; covid-19 is significantly worse that the flu.

Only worse because they are LYING about the numbers. They have admitted to mingling FLU deaths with the COVID numbers and justified doing so. You are NOT getting accurate COVID data!

Key words Social distancing. It's not being paid attention to on that North side you talking about. I see b---s wearing masks, and the mask isn't pulled up over their nose. Look at that B---k bimbo Sheila Jackson Lee from Texas. I've seen at least ten images of her with the mask on the wrong way. She is suppose to be a smart one. LOL. I have seen them in cars, 5 6 at a time. I guess when one doesn't pay attention or follow directions one does suffer. You think people aren't noticing? I know someone that works in an emergency room in Milwaukee. Last week a B---k woman was brought in for breathing issues. The family members came with her. Police had to be called because they couldn't understand why they all couldn't go back to her room with her. So they started fighting with staff. Nice. Try following what is being said. It's just that easy.

Is the reason Blacks are dying of COVID 19 at more than 3 times the rate of Whites something genetic? Does COVID 19 go after Blacks, like the Emerald Ash Borer goes after, and kills, Ash trees?

Or, are Whites doing things differently than Blacks that result in substantially fewer Whites contracting COVID 19? Could the solution for the Black community to reduce COVID 19 be as simple as acting White?

I mean sure, they could act white by having jobs that aren’t deemed essential, by having better access to healthcare, by not living in an impoverish neighborhood in one of the most segregated cities in America that largely ignores black poverty.

They could also just go back in time and be born white, that would certainly solve the problem.

Why is Milwaukee one of the most segregated cities in America? I bought my first house in Sherman Park, right on the Blvd, 8 houses south of Sherman Park. The house is beautiful, the park was great... then the Milwaukee Journal published a story describing the Combat Zone with boundaries... I had a car stolen from my garage... I had two cars broken into... I had my front door kicked in while I was at home... home security alarms would start going off when the sun went down... you saw Sherman Park burn. So, why is Mikeaukee one of the most segregated cities in America?

Because it's not against the law to move away from crime. I took a loss on my home and moved my young family to a safe neighborhood.

Why do 19 out of every 20 Milwaukee shooting have Black victims? from the highly segregated north side? Note, the shooting victims are referenced because less than half of the shooting of are solved, and those unsolved shooting could have White shooters.

What is the optimum racial mix for a neighborhood/city to offer the best quality of life for Black families? How do we achieve that?

Thanks for the conversation.

The Amish suffer genetic diseases from being inbred. I'm sure this is a cakewalk for them.

Wisconsin is also known for inbreeding among non Amish. Look at Vos and Fitzgerald

You liberal trash of a brain is hanging out.
