50% of Wisconsin's Asian population vaccinated - WBAY

MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) - Wisconsin is back to averaging one COVID-19 death per day. Counties reported 8 more lives were claimed by COVID-19, raising the death toll to 7,331. The state says 7 of those deaths happened more than 30 days ago and are not counted towards the 7-day average. There were no changes to death totals in WBAY’s viewing area (county by county totals are listed toward the end of this article).

These eight people raised COVID-19′s death rate to 1.2% of the 613,280 known coronavirus cases dating back to last year. The death rate had fallen below 1.2% back on September 22, 2020. At that time, the state was averaging 1,800 new coronavirus cases and 4 deaths per day, by our calculations.

Now, with fewer cases, each death carries more weight. New figures Wednesday afternoon indicate the state only had 278 test results for people getting tested for coronavirus for the first time or testing positive for the first time. The state reported 154 new confirmed cases of the COVID-19 virus, causing the rolling, 7-day average to jump from 63 to a still-low 71 cases per day. The 7-day average for the positivity rate -- the percentage of all coronavirus tests coming back positive -- held at 1.1% though it’s been slowly climbing.

DHS numbers show 54 people were hospitalized for COVID-19 in the past 24-hour period. That’s much higher than our calculated average of 31 admissions per day, but that rolling average has fallen almost every day for the past two weeks. We don’t get reports anymore on weekends, though.

The Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA) says 80 people are currently hospitalized for COVID-19. Of those, 28, or almost 1 in 3, are in intensive care. That’s 5 more in ICU and 6 more hospitalized overall since Tuesday, ending a week of daily numbers on the decline. Locally, numbers haven’t changed since Monday. Hospitals in the Northeast health care region are treating 6 COVID-19 patients, with 3 in ICU. Hospitals in the Fox Valley region don’t have any COVID-19 patients.

VACCINATIONS

Half of Wisconsin’s Asian population has received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, leading other races and ethnic groups.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) reported Wednesday that 50.5% of all Wisconsinites have now received at least one shot in the arm against the disease caused by the coronavirus, including 61.5% of adults.

The DHS adds 47.7% of Wisconsinites have completed their vaccination series by getting one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine or both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. That includes 58.4% of adults getting fully vaccinated.

The state says almost 95,000 Asians and people of Asian descent started to receive the vaccinations, and almost 87,000 of them have finished. Percentage-wise, the 46.0% fully vaccinated is only one-tenth of a percentage point behind non-Hispanic Whites in Wisconsin, 46.1% of whom are fully vaccinated.

It’s been 517 days since the first coronavirus case was confirmed in Wisconsin.

February 5, 2020, to July 7, 2021

• 613,280 confirmed coronavirus cases
• 32,385 hospitalizations (5%)
• 7,331 deaths (1.20%)
• 2,281 cases still active (<1%)
• 603,293 considered recovered (98%)

Health officials are still encouraging people to continue mitigation efforts if they’re not vaccinated, including wearing masks, social distancing and frequent hand-washing. There’s debate in the medical community about whether vaccinated people should carry on these mitigation efforts, too, saying there’s no harm but potential benefits in doing so.

** Cases and deaths are from state COVID-19 reports, which may differ from local health department numbers. The DHS reports cases from all health departments within a county’s boundaries, including tribal, municipal and county health departments; county websites may not. Also, public health departments update their data at various times, whereas the DHS freezes the numbers it receives by the same time every day to compile the afternoon report.
