[Quemado]

More than 70 people in Wisconsin test positive for coronavirus after admitting they attended a 'large gathering' in the state - around same time hundreds turned out for anti-lockdown protest.

Wisconsin's Department of Health Services said 72 people who tested positive for COVID-19 on or after April 26 attended a large gathering not long before.

On April 24, thousands of anti-lockdown protesters gathered outside the capitol building in Madison demanding an end to Gov Evers' lockdown.

Demonstrators were pictured ignoring social distancing rules and shunning face masks at the mass rally.

It was one of the largest anti-lockdown rallies to take place across the country At the time there were 5,356 cases and 262 deaths in the state As of Wednesday, there are 10,611 cases and the death toll has reached 418.

The DHS has not specifically tracked whether the 'large gathering' was the rally so it is not possible to confirm individuals contracted the virus there.

1. Of course they did.

No surprise there

2. Almost 3 weeks later and they turned up positive

That’s way beyond 14 days.

3. Those cheeseheads aren't too smart

Why do some people think that just because they can't see something it doesn't exist? The microscopic world is chock-full of trillions of pathogens. It's a very dangerous minefield but clearly some people won't acknowledge its existence.

There is a delicious irony that these people protesting the stay-at-home orders contracted the disease because they didn't stay home.

Cheeseheads.

Full disclosure: I was born in Wisconsin as were my parents and we still have family there.

4. That whole rally probably got infected.

And they're spreading it wherever they came from.

5. Does anyone have a sequential data for Wisconsin from Worldometers.info?

That's the site I track. I expect some spikes in Wisconsin now that it has been cracked open by Greed Over People. Ideally daily new cases and daily new deaths.

6. How many other "large gatherings" were there?

It was the demonstration. Obviously. And just as obviously, the authorities are afraid to say so.

7. Natural selection.

Survival of the smartest. Republicans perish.
