The @IMHE_UW model projects that WI #COVID19 cases will peak on April 27. Tuesday's election comes at nearly the worst possible time (1/5)
#COVID19 has an incubation period averaging 5 days. So people who get infected on election day will start feeling sick over the weekend of April 11-12 and into early next week (2/5)
After symptoms start, it takes an additional 8-10 days before hospitalization is necessary. This gets us to ~April 21 (3/5)
Hospitalization can last 1-2 weeks or longer, taking us through the projected peak on 4/27 (4/5)
Summary: citizens of WI who are infected with #SARSCoV2 on election day, April 7, and go on to develop severe illness will be in the hospital at precisely the time that peak strain on the healthcare system is *already* predicted to occur. This election must be postponed. (5/5)
