COVID-19 IS EVERYWHERE IN OUR STATE. IT IS BAD EVERYWHERE, AND IT’S GETTING WORSE EVERY WHERE IT IS STRAINING HOSPITALS AND PEOPLE ARE DYING. AS OF LAST WEEK EVERY COUNTY IN WISCONSIN WAS AT A VERY HIGH DISEASE ACTIVITY LEVEL. THIS WEEK WE HAVE ADDED A NEW CATEGORY CRITICALLY HIGH WHICH INDICATES CASE BURDEN OF OVER 1,000 CASES FOR EVERY 100,000 RESIDENTS A LEVEL NEARLY THREE TIMES HIGHER THAN THE VERY HIGH CATEGORY. 65 OF WISCONSIN’S COUNTIES NOW MEET THAT THRESHOLD WITH THE OTHER SEVEN STILL AT VERY HIGH. AS OF YESTERDAY EVERY COUNTY IN WISCONSIN HAS REPORTED AT LEAST ONE DEATH FROM COVID-19. OUR HOSPITALS ARE STRAINED. WE HAVE SET A NEW RECORD FOR THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZED COVID-19 PATIENTS EVERY DAY THIS MONTH STATEWIDE ONLY 8% OF ICU BEDS ARE AVAILABLE. TODAY WE ADDED SEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY-SEVEN MORE CONFIRMED CASES OF COVID-19. THAT BRINGS OUR TOTAL TO 290 3388. TODAY WE HAVE LOST 58 MORE FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TO THIS VIRUS. TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN FIFTEEN WISCONSINITES HAVE NOW LOST AND OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THEIR LOVED ONES. WE OWE IT TO THEM AND WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES TO TAKE EVERY ACTION WE CAN TO STOP THE SPREAD JUST AS THE GOVERNOR SAID TO WEAR A MASK TO STAY HOME TO SAVE LIVES. IT’S TIRING. I KNOW BUT WE ARE IN A CRISIS AS A STATE. COVID-19 ISN’T SOMEONE ELSE’S PROBLEM. IT’S OURS. AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PANDEMIC. I KNOW A LOT OF US LOOKED AT NEW YORK CITY AND DISBELIEF. WE WORRIED FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE AND WE WERE ALSO REALLY GRATEFUL. IT WASN’T AS BAD HERE IN WISCONSIN. WELL HERE IN WISCONSIN COVID-19. IS THAT BAD NOW AND WORSE AND WE MUST TAKE ACTION. OUR CURRENT SEVEN-DAY AVERAGE OF NEW CASES IS 6200 9 BACK IN APRIL WHEN THE VIRUS WAS AT ITS WORST IN NEW YORK CITY THEIR HIGHEST SEVEN-DAY AVERAGE OF CASES WAS FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED NINETY TWO. WE ARE A THOUSAND CASES MORE DAY HIGHER THAN AND WISCONSIN’S DAILY AVERAGE IS NOT ONLY THAT MUCH HIGHER, BUT IT’S HIGHER IN OUR POPULATION IS SMALLER BY 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE. THIS SPRING AMBULANCE SIRENS RAN NON-STOP IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK. THE REALITY OF COVID-19 WAS UNAVOIDABLE WITH SO MANY PEOPLE LIVING IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY. YOU COULD SEE THE DEVASTATION THE VIRUS WAS CREATING IN THE CITY. THE RESIDENTS OF OUR STATE ARE MORE SPREAD OUT. SO IT’S EASIER TO MISS THE CRISIS. BUT THIS VIRUS AND THE DEATH THAT BRINGS WITH IT ARE EVERYWHERE IN THIS STATE. COVID-19. IT’S SPREAD IN THE STRAIN. IT’S PUTTING ON OUR HOSPITALS AND DANGERS EVERYONE IN, WISCONSIN. BUT AS I CLOSE, LET ME SHARE THIS ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE MOST ABOUT OUR STATE IS HOW NEIGHBORS CARE ABOUT NEIGHBORS WHEN YOU GET A FLAT TIRE MULTIPLE PEOPLE STOPPED TO HELP. HOW WE VOLUNTEER FOR EVERYTHING FROM COACHING YOUR CHILD’S SOCCER TEAM TO HELPING OUT AT THE FOOD PANTRY TO SERVING ON YOUR LOCAL NON-PROFIT BOARD. THAT CARING SPIRIT AND THAT’S CIVIC PRIDE IS WHAT WE NEED NOW TO GET TO THE- IT’S ABSOLUTELY E YOU TO GO OUT AND WHEN YOU DO GO OUT WEAR A MASK AND KEEP SIX FEET APART FROM OTHER PEOPLE. AND WASH YOUR HANDS.
