MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin’s chief medical officer for communicable diseases said Friday that data on coronavirus infections continues to show that the state is “flattening the curve.”

Dr. Ryan Westergaard first said on Monday that there were positive signs with the slowing increase in COVID-19 cases, a message he repeated again Thursday and Friday.

“We are flattening the curve,” he said. He called it a “glimmer of hope that what we’re doing is making a big difference.”

Even with the positive news, state health officials have said Wisconsin may not hit a peak in cases for weeks and they won’t project when it will be safe to loosen the limitations on movement and allow businesses to reopen. Gov. Tony Evers’ emergency order for people to remain at home runs through April 24, but could be extended.

of course it is...you can't hide the numbers forever like my state....

I will say that you just don't get rid of a virus...the virus is still here and if and when the siege is ended, I would still encourage good and frequent handwashing and avoiding coughing, hacking people as long as you can until we get a vaccine going and protocols for treating it...

Georgia coronavirus cases have been under 6,000 for a couple of days now.

If I said what I REALLY thought about LibTard politics in Wisconsin, I’d get banned from FR. ;)

He couldn’t work that car anymore with with today’s ABS/Traction control. Breaks my heart.., but wouldn’t own a car without either now. Pretty sweet tech, good job... I guess.

“Wisc is lagging NYC in time as the CV burns through America.”

It helps that we don’t all live right on top of one another, too. You can see that when you look at the stats of our large cities, versus the rest of us.
