Wide disparity with Wisconsin

Another huge disparity was shown today in the COVID death figures between Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Wisconsin, whose COVID deaths and hot spots are centered in the southeastern corner of their state (nearest to Chicago), reported seven new deaths from COVID today plus 357 new cases.

Minnesota, who is still weeks behind Wisconsin in terms of re-opening the economy, reported 33 COVID deaths today plus 707 new cases. Minnesota is now getting close to having twice the COVID deaths that Wisconsin has. Both states are very close in terms of overall population, but Minnesota has 206 COVID deaths per million of population compared to 109 COVID deaths per million of population in Wisconsin.
