COVID-19, bar crowding, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court: A non-linear tale of two counties

Author

  • Harris, Jeffrey E.

Abstract

The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s nullification of a carefully crafted, statewide regulatory scheme led to the substitution of a motley collection of asynchronous, uncoordinated local reopening plans that ultimately facilitated a resurgence of COVID-19. The distinct paths of epidemic containment and subsequent resurgence in Wisconsin’s two most populous counties, Milwaukee and Dane, can be directly mapped into their respective volumes of bar traffic. A seemingly small relaxation of social distancing rules can result in a relatively large increase in the incidence of new infections.
