Experts surprised to find no evidence of COVID-19 spike from Wisconsin's in-person voting

As late as April 2, Gov. Tony Evers (D), backed by Biden, supported holding the election in person as Wisconsin law requires. However, on April 3, Evers changed his mind and asked for the legislature to quickly amend Wisconsin law to allow all voters to vote by mail. The Wisconsin Legislature, which is controlled by Republicans, refused to rush such a last-minute change into law, and thus the media was given a "Republicans are literally killing people" narrative.

There's one major problem with that narrative: The in-person voting does not appear to have killed anyone. The state of Wisconsin could identify only about two dozen in-person voters who were infected with coronavirus, and it was impossible to prove that even those people got the virus from voting in person, as opposed to any other method.

So much for the attempt to scare people into supporting mail-in voting(cheating).

Watch for more push back against those seeking to cow the population. The media will try and hide this as well.

The virus only hangs out on beaches and at Open Our State protests.

“Experts”

Is there anything they don’t know?

How many times do you have to get it wrong before you are no longer an “expert”?

I think the virus likes to chew the fat at barbershops, too.

You mean, it isn’t transmitted by merely standing three feet away from someone who has it? They wouldn’t lie to us, would they? /s

By “experts” they mean liberal talking heads like James Carville!

I like when they save the best for the end...

an infectious disease modeling expert at the University of Wisconsin, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "I don't think that the in-person election led to a major effect, to my surprise. I expected it."

Which might lead some to wonder what else the infectious disease modeling experts will be surprised by when the economy reopens across most of the country

This has been quite successful. Coronavirus hysteria has destroyed the economy and is the only arrow left in the quivver for the Trump haters. This proves that the science is either immature, just plain wrong, or simply political and we ought to get back to work.

None of their “models” has been worth a nickel. Just like the climate change models.

The infectious disease modelers will put out a call for emergency assistance from climate modelers.

We need to be objective. Let’s take away 60+ folks. How bad is the virus really?

It is less deadly than the flu in terms of the ratio of % of those infected in relation to % of those who have died, but more infectious than the flu..... So the overall death count will be higher than the flu because more people get infected...... The old and vulnerable need to be that much more careful, but the young and healthy have even less to worry about than the normal flu
