[FRIAM] Wisconsin stay-at-home (safer at home) order overturned

Glen, 

I think these are great, and I hope you will keep them coming.  My eyesight is sufficiently bad that I also appreciate you gloss on them, because I cannot always distinguish the colors.  

My schadenfreude is tracing Hall very closely.  

Thanks for doing this.

I know I said I wouldn't spam the list with these plots anymore. But the comparison of DeKalb/Hall to Milwaukee/Racine and Milwaukee/Brown is interesting. (Sorry for the nearly inscrutable colors.)

Will the (if we believe in the germ theory and network transmission) uptick in cases resulting from this lead to a continuation of the pandemic (or "pandemic" if we prefer to believe the only uncontrolled growth is in hysterical media coverage and hypochondria).   The best case (and one I mostly hope for) might be if the subset of the WI population who now disregard the (former) rules is small enough and insular (only infecting one another) enough and/or the herd immunity has grown enough (highest estimates in places like NYC I think are still down as low as 20% out of the believed 70% required to bring R0 below 1.0 w/o masks/social-distance measures?).
