I doubt that, most states are on the upswing in cases besides the Dakotas and maybe Wisconsin. Also we are still waiting on a few more states to drop today, including part of california, kansas and nebraska

Good news today, study shows that immunity can last for many years for 90% of patients. Obviously contradicts some of the other things we have heard but falls in line with the idea that rapid reinfections are a small minority of cases
It's 2020 so no.
But actually looking into it, looking like a western trough may develop after the 10th or so and eject some energetic systems through our sub. That's model mirage range though so I'm not horribly optimistic
One important thing for mental health is for people to realize there will be a time when we are past this pandemic. It may not be for another 6 months to a year but there will be a time we can regain a sense of normalcy. Even if it means getting a vaccine every six months it'll be worth it. Especially as we get into these winter months with things like seasonal depression and family stress it's important to keep a hopeful attitude about the future.
Wisconsin up to about 30 deaths per 100,000 from Covid. Still only about 40% of South Carolina's death rate of 74 per 100,000. Still a long ways from having as bad of an outbreak.
I think people forget how nature works sometimes. You could get Covid from someone being by them for 1 minute. The odds are much lower than 15 minutes but its still there. Just like there's no magic barrier at 6 feet. Sure it goes down further away from that but its not like there's a magical barrier where someone 7 feet away can't give you covid.
people like to apply reasoning for disease spread to fit their personal beliefs. in reality humans are imperfect and this disease can spread easily so there are many, many variables for disease spread and not just one specific government decision.
I would also like to point out that before this Wisconsin was 43rd in deaths per capita out of all states so it had been doing well keeping cases and deaths low. Out of all states for an outbreak to currently occur in, it makes sense that it's happening in Wisconsin.
