   That's your reward for cheating in a presidential election.   
   Hope 10,000 times that number dies.   
      
   MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) – Wisconsin’s COVID-19 death toll rose by   
   the largest number in over two months Wednesday when the   
   Department of Health Services recorded 34 more deaths in 19   
   counties -- twice as many deaths as the day before and the most   
   added in one day since February 19. The rolling, 7-day average   
   jumped from 8 to 12 deaths per day -- the first time the rolling   
   average has been in double digits since March 9.   
      
   Counties reporting deaths were: Barron (3), Brown (4), Dane (2),   
   Fond du Lac (4), Juneau, Kenosha, Lafayette, Lincoln, Marathon,   
   Milwaukee (3), Oconto (2), Polk, Racine, Rock (2), Sheboygan,   
   Walworth, Washington (2), Waukesha (2) and Winnebago.   
      
   It pushed the state’s death toll past 6,800, to 6,807 people, an   
   increase of about 100 in ten days.   
      
   The state also added 688 people to the total infected with the   
   COVID-19 virus. That was out of 5,123 people being tested for   
   the first time or testing positive for the first time. The 7-day   
   average rose from 604 to 613 new cases per day. The positivity   
   rate’s rolling average went down, though, from 3.2% to 3.1% of   
   all tests, when you include people tested multiple times. In the   
   past week, counties in the western part of the state at or near   
   the Minnesota state line have seen the largest increase in cases   
   as a percentage of their population.   
      
   As we’ve been reporting, the state is seeing a softening in the   
   number of people seeking out COVID-19 vaccinations. We’re up to   
   42.5% of the population receiving at least one shot, which is   
   2,473,608 people. We’re nearing 1 in 3 residents fully   
   vaccinated (32.4%) with 1,889,058 getting both shots of the   
   Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson   
   vaccine. County vaccination rates are listed a little later in   
   this article.   
      
   A new report shows the rate of COVID-19 infections in people   
   fully vaccinated is just 3 in 1,000 -- compared to 1 in 10 among   
   the general population since the virus first appeared here in   
   February, 2020 (see related story).
