“As those of you who live in this benighted state know, our pathetic Governor and even more pathetic and evil Attorney General are prosecuting bar and restaurant owners who disobey their unconstitutional and illegal orders to shut down."

If you can help, send some money to the Upper Midwest Law Center. There is a link in the article.  Thank You, Kevin Roche.

Finally a bit of sanity. Re-infection certainly does not mean we are all going to die. Thank you, Kevin Roche, for the clarity of you explanation.

“Once again, I have the great honor to translate remarks from the esteemed (maybe just steamed along about now) Governor of my home state.  He is articulate but sometimes you might miss the subtleties in the message.  No questions allowed last night, and why take the risk of doing that, since even the press corps is starting to wonder if he has a real grip on reality.  This was a concession speech.”

Note, Yesterday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court threw out Governor Evers' Stay-at-Home Order.  Thank You Kevin Roche.

“These briefings have become tiresome in their repetition of that same old messages.  I am going to do a video and a podcast soon that helps people understand the typical tricks that politicians use to mislead the public, and our Governor is increasingly utilizing the complete bag of those tricks.”

Thank You, Kevin Roche.

"Our Governor did another daily briefing yesterday with the usual assortment of messaging–it’s dangerous, we are trying to balance safety, we can’t let the virus run unchecked (seriously, no one is suggesting that), we are saving lives, we are getting prepared.  The focus was on long-term care facility cases and deaths, and the Governor revealed a “battle plan” to take on the problem. "

Thank You Kevin Roche.

" Amazingly to me, although this concept of variation in individual susceptibility to infectious disease has been explored in the literature for other agents, I have not seen it discussed in regard to the current coronavirus epidemic, and as I said, it has not been incorporated into the models."

Thank You, Kevin Roche.

Thank You, Kevin Roche, for your review of the Governor's little chat with his subjects yesterday.

"So in the scenarios the modelers run,  you get basically the exact same number of deaths regardless of the mitigation strategy. My favored approach, use basic mitigation for the bulk of the population, but isolate the at-risk groups, has the same outcome as making everyone stay at home. This would allow the working age population to go back to work. The economic harms due to job loss and other non-economic harms flowing from job loss would be substantially reduced. "
