[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares about cases -  too many inputs plus need constant testing of the same individuals. 
[b]What about severe cases requiring medical attention and the death rate?  [/b]Where are those state or county numbers? [/quote]

[quote][b]But the number of newly confirmed cases also hit a one-day high of 528[/b], a result of increased testing, but more significantly, a reversal of a downward trend in the percentage of people testing positive. [u]Wednesday’s 24-hour data release includes a positive rate of 8.01 percent, above the seven-day average of 6.32 percent and 14-day average of 6.35 percent. When the state last set a one-day testing record, only 410 people tested positive (6.34 percent).[/u]

[b]A total of 51 people were newly hospitalized with the disease, a 30-day high and above the average of 34 since DHS began reporting the data daily on April 4th.[/b]

In Milwaukee County, the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 has gone from 146 to 183 in the past week. “This is a concerning 29 percent increase in COVID-19 patients in our hospitals,” said Dr. Ben Weston, Milwaukee County medical services director, during a Wednesday afternoon press briefing.

Milwaukee County is the site of 5,373 of the 13,413 confirmed cases and 265 of the 481 deaths according to state data. [b]That’s an increase of five deaths over yesterday as the statewide total went up by 14.[/b]

[quote]Wisconsin shattered the record for coronavirus test results Thursday afternoon, with the Department of Human Services reporting 9,410 tests. That's almost 3,000 more tests than the record of 6,591 set the day before.

[b]Five percent of the tests came back positive, for 472 new cases. Six more deaths were reported. All those figures show a decline from Wednesday, which is the direction health experts want to see.[/b]
[...]
The state reports 2,218 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized during their treatment. [b]There are 57 more patients in the hospital since Wednesday afternoon. [/b]There are currently 399 patients in hospitals for COVID-19, 129 of them in ICU.[/quote]

So Thursday, total positives were down, deaths were down, but hospitalizations went up.

But with that, things have still not plateaued since the opening a week ago.  It will likely take at least several days to a week to determine if there is a noticeable trend.[/quote]
