North Dakota, Wisconsin and Missouri Report Most COVID Infections Since Start of Pandemic

[TomCADem]

Remember how Wisconsin's conservative Supreme Court ruled that the Governor's attempts to control the spread were illegal? Well, even as some states are making progress in controlling the spread, COVID is surging in Wisconsin. With the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the upcoming appointment of another right wing extremist to the Court, expect the same thing nationally unless we can get a Democratic Senate to expand the court and reverse the Republican over reach that took place with Merrick Garland.

Over the last 14 days, the states of Missouri, North Dakota and Wisconsin have had their highest-ever averages of new COVID-19 cases, marking a surge in three red states that initially experienced low case numbers early into the epidemic.

As of Wednesday, Missouri had a 14-day average of 1,419 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases a day, North Dakota had a 14-day average of 295 new cases a day and Wisconsin had a 14-day average of 1,160 new cases a day.

A White House "red zone" report released last week listed Missouri as the fourth highest state in the country for having 100 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 state residents, according to KMIZ-TV. The report also listed Missouri's coronavirus positivity rate as the seventh highest in the nation with over 60 percent of all Missouri counties reporting moderate or high levels of community transmission.

The Missouri Hospital Association also reported three of the state's four highest-ever days for coronavirus-related hospitalizations last week.
