Officials have identified seven people who appear to have contracted COVID-19 through activities related to the April 7 election, Milwaukee Health Commissioner Jeanette Kowalik said Monday.

Six of the cases are in voters and one is a poll worker, Kowalik said.

By the end of this week, officials hope to have additional information on the cases that were reported between April 7 and Monday, she said.


That includes an answer to whether any of the seven cases resulted in death and whether the cases were concentrated at any of the city’s five in-person polling locations.

"There needs to be a little bit more analysis so we can connect the dots, that's why case investigation and contact tracing is so important," she said.

14. I think he knows that his response to the C-19 virus is the biggest fuck up of all time so ...

... he has made the calculus of who has to die and or get sick so he can "win" again
in 2020 in an election where he should lose every single state all the time he and
Kush-turd were and are grifting off the top of this pandemic.
