On Friday — a mere 18 days later — the state blew past 300,000 cases, breaking a record daily high set just a day earlier. There were 7,777 new cases reported by the state Department of Health Services on Friday, breaking Thursday’s record by 280 and pushing the state’s overall total since the pandemic started to 301,165. It took seven months to log 100,000 confirmed cases, 36 more days to reach 200,000, and only 18 days to get to 300,000, the state health department reported. Tony Evers this week urged people to stay at home and take other steps to be safe, as did leaders of the Wisconsin Hospital Association and Dr. Ryan Westergaard, the state’s chief medical officer.
