Here's are some stunning measures of how poorly Wisconsin is controlling the COVID-19 pandemic:
Canada - the country - has a population of 37.8 million people that is more than six times Wisconsin's population of 5.85 million.
Yet Canada reports 92 COVID-19 patients currently in intensive care units there, while Wisconsin exceeds that number by more than 50% with 140.
Call it the tip of the iceberg, as COVID-19 data bases compiled by The New York Times for Wisconsin and Canada reveal more shocking disparities not in Wisconsin's favor
Wisconsin had 10 COVID-19 deaths on September 23rd while all of Canada reported nine, and Wisconsin had close to 80% more new COVID-19 cases on September 23rd, at 1,883, than did Canada on the same day with 1,090.
I don't see the Wisconsin-Canadian COVID-19 caseload imbalance flipping, as the Republican/far-right in Wisconsin is dumping on and will litigate against Gov. Tony Evers' latest mask-wearing emergency extension and already convinced the State Supreme Court to block his effort to extend his earlier 'Safer-at-Home' policy.
And unlike Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been wearing a mask in public or when working in close proximity to other people since May.
That's the way a normal leader would educate the public and help reduce a pandemic's impact, while an abnormal leader who undermines science, won't wear a mask and gathers people together in crowded, raucous rallies has helped push the US COVID-19 death toll past an unimaginable 200,000.
