In the state of Wisconsin, about 4,000 new infections were confirmed yesterday. This is the highest number on record in Wisconsin since the pandemic broke out. The second highest number of infected people was registered on Thursday of this week.
One in four tests in the state is positive, according to CBS News, and residents have been told to avoid demonstrations, including politics.
Tonight, however, a political rally is planned in the state, as Donald Trump continues his election campaign tour in Janesville, Wisconsin.
Trump continues his election campaign tour today, first visiting Michigan and then Wisconsin.
– Danger to public health
In Wisconsin, several local doctors, including Dr. Bob Freedland, have called for the entire event to be canceled.
“President Trump’s demonstrations are endangering public health, while at the same time they have become platforms for him to spread inaccurate medical information,” Freedland told CBS.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers shares the concern:
– Unless something extraordinary happens, he (Trump) asks for a blockbuster event.
“As Governor of the State of Wisconsin, I will personally ask if those present want to wear masks and keep their distance,” Evers continues to Spectrum News.
Wisconsin is among the swing states considered the most important this year, along with Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida and Arizona.
Precautions
According to a spokesman for the Trump campaign, clear precautions have been taken ahead of tonight’s event.
“Each participant can control the temperature, gets a mask that they are asked to wear, and has access to amounts of antibac,” says press secretary Courtney Parella in a statement.
– We have also placed posters at our events, instructing participants to use the mouthpiece, continues Parella.
– Prioritize seriousness
Trump’s opponent for the election, Joe Biden, has pointed out Trump’s choice of destiny tonight and has made the following comment:
– President Trump deliberately downgrades the severity of the virus. On almost every occasion, you panic and want it to go away, rather than embarking on the hard work of getting it under control, Biden says according to CNN.
Infection log
Last Friday, 69,000 new cases of infection were reported in the United States, reports CBS. This is the highest number of new infections recorded since July, the newspaper writes.
According to John Hopkins University, the exact number of infected yesterday was 63,610 people.
