Health officials have identified nearly 500 coronavirus cases statewide that could be linked to the large crowds that gathered in downtown Milwaukee as fans cheered on the Bucks' run to the NBA championship.

Milwaukee Health Commissioner Kirsten Johnson says contact tracing and testing for cases associated with those gatherings continues with the help of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

Officials say 491 people with confirmed or probable cases said they had attended the Deer District or Bucks game “during their exposure or infectious periods.” But, DHS could not say definitively that they caught the virus while viewing the game downtown or elsewhere.

65,000 people, mostly maskless, JAMPACKED the Deer District in Milwaukee after the Bucks won the NBA Championship. If this isn't a recipe for contagion, I don't know what is.

RE: Nearly 500 COVID-19 Cases

OK, the inevitable question arises — You talk about “CASES”, how serious and severe are they? how many hospitalizations? how many deaths?

I say it’s probably more like a million. No wait, probably 10 million! And of that amount 70% are unvaccinated and infected millions or billions and they’re all going to die, every last one of them.

You see I’m using the same data they’re using, which is extrapolation, or guessing really.

Our state fair opens tomorrow. All the local news can talk about is the super-spreader event it will be.

If it saves even one life, we should end all professional sportsball, auction their assets and donate the equipment to youth leagues.

Id like to know how many of those covid positive actually are sick..my guess is NONE, who attended this, most likely young folks who are less likely to die. My sisters neighbors all got covid last week, none were ever vaccinated..two adults(the woman is 8 months pregnant) and her two kids, ages 5 and 2 1/2..the kids barely had any symptoms and the 5 yr old has asthma, just had a sniffle..the only one that got it mild was the husband, but two days later he was all better, now they are all negative and all have natural immunity to the virus

Always the FOCUS in these news stories is on CASES... any DEATH RATE stats are practically NON-EXISTENT.

Remember the August 2020 Sturgis motorcycle event which had a single report of a "study" out of Germany that stated 250k+ COVID cases would result from the failure by South Dakota (SD) government to cancel that 'rally'! This made MANY of the news cycle presentations during that time of Presidential Campaigns and a GOP SD Governor, Kristi Noem.

"Anyone with a brain could tell that putting on the gigantic Sturgis Motorcycle Rally this year would be a bad idea. Now we have a scientific study to affirm this was a worst-case scenario, an event that appears to be accountable for 250,000 cases of COVID-19 at a public cost of $12 billion." Now, even the LEFT-leaning Snopes rates this as 'Unproven', BUT don't you just love the $12B cost figure!

Bias media much?

Did they estimate the number of people with diminished capacity for actually going out to celebrate a championship where tall people put a ball through a hoop?

That's some 75 IQ level stuff right there...

10's of thousands of people gathered but only 500 "cases"? Not bad at all. Of these cases, what percentage ended up in the hospital or the morgue?

Measuring "cases" is a meaningless metric designed to scare people into submission.

The more "cases", the closer we get to full herd immunity.
