%- SO

THINK %- THEY
SAW

%- IS
THAT YOUR

AS %- WELL?
%- >>
YEAH.
%- THERE
IS
EVIDENCE
THAT
THE
%- TRANSMISSION
THAT WE'RE
SEEING
%- IS
SUSTAINED.%- IT
IS
GETTING
COLDER.
%- PEOPLE
ARE
MOVING
INDOORS
TO
%- PLACES IN
WISCONSIN
THAT
ARE
%- QUITE POPULAR
FOR GATHERING
%- INDOORS.
%- PLACES LIKE
TAVERNS
AND
BARS.
%- AND
THOSE
PLACES ARE
REALLY
%- HIGH RISK.
%- THEY HAVE
OFTEN
POOR
%- VENTILATION
WITH
PEOPLE
IN
%- CLOSE
CRAMPED
QUARTERS
AND
ALSO
%- SPEAKING LOUDLY
AND
DOING
%- THINGS THAT
WE
KNOW
INCREASE %- THE
RISK
OF
TRANSMISSION.%- SO
I
DON'T
THINK
WE'VE
SEEN
THE
%- WORST OF IT
AS EVIDENCED
OVER
%- THE
WEEKEND.
%- THE
GREATEST
NUMBER
OF
CASES
%- REPORTED
AND
OUR
NEW
AVERAGE
%- NUMBER
OF
DEATHS
IS
THE HIGHEST
%- IT'S
EVER
BEEN.
%- >> HOW
FEARFUL
SHOULD WE
BE
%- ABOUT THIS?
%- >>
WELL, I
THINK
TWO
ANSWERS.
%- ONE IS
INDIVIDUALLY
I
THINK
YOU
%- CAN CONTROL
YOUR
OWN
RISK.
%- CERTAINLY
IF
YOU
ARE
ABLE
TO
%- STAY AT HOME
FOR
MOST
OF
THE
%- TIME, THEN
YOU ARE
--
YOU
HAVE
%- MADE A
SAFE
DECISION
AND
YOU
%- HAVE
ELIMINATED
THE RISK
OF
%- BECOMING INFECTED.%-MANY
OF
US
CAN'T
DO
THAT,
%- ESPECIALLY ESSENTIAL
WORKERS
%- AND
SO
I
THINK
SAFE
PRACTICES,
%- BEING
OUTDOORS AS
MUCH
AS
%- POSSIBLE.%-WHEN
YOU
ARE
INDOORS OR CAN'T
%- KEEP SIX
FEET
OF
DISTANCE %- BETWEEN YOU
AND OTHERS,
WEARING
%- A
MASK.
%- NOT
JUST
TO
PROTECT
YOURSELF
%- BUT
MORE
IMPORTANTLY TO
PROTECT
%- OTHERS IN
CASE
YOU
ARE
SICK AND
%- DON'T KNOW
IT.
%- MANY
PEOPLE
--
MOST
PEOPLE,
IN
%- FACT, TRANSMIT THE
VIRUS
BEFORE
%- THEY
HAVE
SYMPTOMS
AND
MANY
%- PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
SYMPTOMS
AT %- ALL.%-SO
THE
KEY
PART
OF
THE
MASK
IS %- PROTECTING OTHERS IN
CASE
YOU
%- ARE
SICK AND
DON'T
KNOW
IT.
%- >>
IN
A
PERFECT
PUBLIC
HEALTH
%- WORLD, WHAT
SHOULD
WISCONSIN
BE
%- DOING TO CONTROL
THIS
%- UNCONTROLLABLE SPREAD OF
%- COVID-19
RIGHT
NOW?
%- >>
WELL,
I THINK
UNIVERSAL
MASK
%- USE
HAS
BEEN
DEMONSTRATED IN
%- RESEARCH STUDIES
AND
LOOKING
%- AROUND THE
WORLD
AS
BEING
ABLE
%- TO
CUT
IN
HALF
THE
NUMBER
OF
%- INFECTIONS THAT WE'RE
PREDICTED
%- TO
SEE.
%- THE
FIRST
THING
IS
JUST
ACCEPT
%- THIS AS THE
NEW
SOCIAL
NORM.
%- I
HOPE
IT
WON'T
LAST
FOREVER %- BUT IT
IS
GOING
TO
LAST
FOR %- MONTHS AND
MAYBE
YEARS.
%- SO
WE
HAVE
TO
JUST
BECOME
%- ACCUSTOMED
TO WEARING
MASKS
%- WHEN
INDOORS.
%- CERTAINLY.%-I
EVEN
SEE
PEOPLE
MORE
AND
MORE
%- WEARING
MASKS
OUTDOORS
ALTHOUGH %- THAT MIGHT
NOT
BE NECESSARY.
%- IF
YOU
ARE
MORE
THAN
SIX FEET
%- AWAY
AND
OUTDOORS.
%- I THINK
IT'S
BECOMING
NORMAL.
%- BECOMING THE NORMAL
THING
TO
DO.
%- SO THAT
ALONE
CAN
REDUCE THE
%- RISK
OF
TRANSMISSION.
%- >>
WHAT
IS
YOUR
MESSAGE
TO %- POLICYMAKERS?
%- >>
WELL FIRST OF
ALL, LOOK
TO
%- THE
SIGNS.
%- I
THINK
THERE IS
GOOD
RESEARCH
%- HAPPENING.
%- DON'T DOUBT
WHEN
SCIENCE
%- EVOLVES AND WE
LEARN
MORE
%- THINGS.%-PEOPLE ARE
DOUBTING
MASKS
%- BECAUSE AT
ONE
TIME
IN
FEBRUARY
%- AND
MARCH
THE
GENERAL
%- ASSESSMENT
WAS
THAT MASKS
%- WEREN'T
VERY
EFFECTIVE.
%- BUT WE'VE
LEARNED
MORE
SINCE.%- I
THINK
INFORMED
POLICY
BY
THE
%- BEST
AVAILABLE
RESEARCH,
LISTEN
%- TO
YOUR
SCIENTISTS AND
%- EPIDEMIOLOGISTS.
%- THE DEPARTMENT
OF
HEALTH
%- SERVICES HAS
AMAZING
STAFF
BOTH
%- STATE AND PUBLIC
HEALTH
%- DEPARTMENT
LEVEL.
%- LISTEN TO THE
EXPERTS
AND
%- RESPOND
WITH
A POLICY
THAT
IS
%- EVIDENCE-BASED.
%- >>
WHAT
IS
YOUR
REACTION
TO
THE
%- SUPER SPREADER
EVENTS
IN
%- WASHINGTON EVEN
AS
WISCONSIN
%- FACES ITS
OWN
UNCONTROLLED
%- SPREAD?
%- >>
WELL,
THERE
IS
AN
ATLANTIC
%- MONTHLY
ARTICLE THAT
TALKS
%- ABOUT
80/20.
%- 80%
OF
THE
INFECTIONS
ARE
%- SPREAD BY 20%
OF
THE
PEOPLE.
%- CERTAIN PEOPLE
ARE
MORE
LIKELY
%- TO SPREAD THE
DISEASE
AND
THERE
%- ARE
HIGH
RISK
INDOOR
%- ENVIRONMENTS POORLY
VENTILATED %- LIKE
A
BAR
OR
TAVERN.
%- WE
NEED TO
AVOID
THOSE
SETTINGS.
%- THOSE BECOME
SUPER
SPREADER %- EVENTS
AND
I
THINK
WE'RE HAVING
%- THOSE
IN
WISCONSIN.%- IN
THE NORTHEAST PART
OF
THE %- STATE YOU CAN
SEE
SOME
OF
THE %- HIGHEST RATES
OF INFECTION
IN
%- THE COUNTRY.
%- WE JUST NEED
TO
BE
SMART
ABOUT
%- AVOIDING
THOSE
SETTINGS
AND
%- INDIVIDUALLY ENGAGING IN
SAFE
%- PRACTICES.
%- >>
WHERE
DO
THE
POLITICS
OF
%- THIS
PANDEMIC LEAVE THE
AVERAGE
%- CITIZEN?
%- >>
I
THINK
POLITICS
GENERALLY,
%- THE
REPUBLICANS
AND
%- CONSERVATIVES
LIKE
SMALL
%- GOVERNMENT AND
DEMOCRATS
AND
%- LIBERALS ARE
IN FAVOR
OF
%- GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.%-I
THINK
THIS
IS
A
PLACE
WHERE
%- IN
PUBLIC
HEALTH
WE
UNDERSTAND
%- THAT
WE DO
NEED
SOME
RULES.
%- WE
BANNED
SMOKING
INDOORS
IN
%- RESTAURANTS
AND
BARS
ALMOST
A
%- DECADE AGO
AND
THAT NOW
SEEMS
%- VERY REASONABLE.
%- IT IS
A
GOVERNMENT
LAW.
%- IT DID
INFRINGE
ON
INDIVIDUAL'S
%- RIGHTS TO
SMOKE
IN
INDOOR
%- ENVIRONMENTS
BUT
NOW
WE
CAN'T
%- EVEN
IMAGINE
A
TIME
WHEN PEOPLE
%- SMOKED FREELY IN
BARS
AND
%- RESTAURANTS.
%- I
THINK
THE
SAME
APPLIES
TO
%- GOING INDOORS
WITHOUT
A
MASK.
%- IT
IS ALMOST
LIKE
SMOKING
%- INDOORS.%-BY
NOT
WEARING A
MASK INDOORS
%- YOU ARE
INCREASING THE
RISK
TO
%- OTHERS.%-SO
I
THINK
RULES
THAT
FOLLOW
%- THAT MODEL
OF
CLEAN
INDOOR
AIR
%- ARE
VERY
REASONABLE
AND %- SHOULDN'T
BE
A
PARTISAN ISSUE.
%- >>
WE NEED TO
LEAVE
IT THERE.

ELECTION
NEWS
THIS
WEEK'S
%- MARQUETTE LAW
SCHOOL
POLL
%- RESULTS.%-THE
SURVEY
WAS
TAKEN
AFTER
THE
%- FIRST
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
AND
%- WHILE
WISCONSINITES
CONSIDERED
%- THE
NEWS
OF PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S
%- CORONAVIRUS
INFECTION.
%- CHARLES FRANKLIN JOINS US
NOW
%- TO GO OVER
THE
RESULT.
%- THANK YOU
FOR
BEING HERE.
%- SO
YOUR
POLLING
SHOWS
A
1
POINT
%- SHIFT IN MARGIN
SINCE EARLY %- SEPTEMBER.
%- >>
WE'VE HAD
VERY
LITTLE
SHIFT.
%- IT
IS
A
FIVE POINT BIDEN
LEAD
%- THIS MONTH.
%- IT WAS FOUR
POINTS
IN
SEPTEMBER.
%- IF
YOU
GO
BACK
TO
MAY,
THE %- BIDEN HAS
LED
IN
ALL
OF
THEM
%- BUT
BY
FOUR,
SIX,
FIVE,
FOUR, %- AND
NOW FIVE
AGAIN.
%- EASY SUMMARY
WOULD
BE
FIVE
%- PERCENT PLUS
OR
MINUS
ONE.
%- >>
YOU
SAID
IT'S
THE
PHENOMENAL %- STORY
OF
THIS ADMINISTRATION
%- THAT
THINGS
THAT
SHOULD HAVE
%- GIGANTIC IMPACTS DON'T.
%- WHY
IS
THIS
EVEN
AFTER
THE
%- DEBATE
AND
THE
COVID
DIAGNOSIS?
%- >> I THINK
ONE
PART
OF
THE
%- STORY,
OF
COURSE, IS
PARTISAN
%- POLARIZATION AND
WE
HAVE
SUCH %- STRONG
VIEWS
OF
TRUMP.
%- 30
TO
35% SAY
THEY
STRONGLY %- APPROVE
OF
THE JOB
HE
IS
DOING.
%- 45
TO
48% SAY
THEY
STRONGLY
%- DISAPPROVE.%-SO THAT'S ONE
PART
OF IT.
%- BUT
I
DO
THINK
THE OTHER
THING
%- IS
AS
WE'VE
SEEN
MAJOR
EVENT
%- AFTER MAJOR
EVENT,
NONE
OF
THEM
%- HAVE FUNDAMENTALLY
CHANGED
THE
%- VIEWS
OF
THE
PRESIDENT
BECAUSE
%- THE
PRESIDENT
HASN'T
CHANGED
%- MUCH IN
RESPONSE
TO
THOSE.
%- AND SO
TRUMP
IS
TRUMP.
%- THE
CONSISTENCY
OF
THE
IMAGE
HE
%- PRESENTS, THE STYLE HE
ADOPTS,
%- AND
THE
THINGS
HE
SAYS HAVE
%- BEEN CONSISTENT AS
WE'VE
GONE
%- THROUGH ALL
THE VARIOUS EVENTS
%- AND
CRISES
OF THE
LAST
FOUR
%- YEARS.
%- AND SO IN
THAT
SENSE
THERE HAS
%- BEEN NO
MOMENT
WHEN
HE
LOOKS
%- LIKE A
DIFFERENT
PERSON
THAN HE
%- HAD
BEEN
BEFORE.
%- INCLUDING HIS ILLNESS
THIS
%- WEEKEND.
%- >>
TRUE
ENOUGH.
%- HOW
SIGNIFICANT IS
THAT
%- UNDECIDED NUMBER
OF
8%?
%- >>
IT'S HALF
OR
LESS
OF
WHAT
IT %- WAS
FOUR
YEARS
AGO.
%- SO
THAT'S
AN
IMPORTANT
FACT
%- THAT
IT
IS
A
LESS
VOLATILE
%- ELECTORATE
AND
LESS
UNDECIDED %- ELECTORATE THAN FOUR
YEARS
AGO.
%- WHEN
WE
LOOK
AT
WHO THOSE
FOLKS %- ARE,
THEY
THE
END
TO BE
%- NONPARTISAN, DON'T LEAN
TO
%- EITHER PARTY.%-THEY
THE END
TO
NOT
APPROVE
OF
%- THE
JOB
TRUMP
IS DOING
BUT
THEY
%- ALSO
THE END
TO NOT
LIKE JOE
%- BIDEN
VERY
MUCH.
%- AND
SO
THAT
IS
A
QUESTION
OF
%- WILL THEY
STAY
HOME,
WILL
THEY
%- VOTE THIRD PARTY, OR
WILL
IN
%- THE
END
THEY
COME
BACK
TO
ONE %- CANDIDATE
OR
THE
OTHER?
%- BUT AS
OF
NOW,
IT
LOOKS LIKE
%- THEY ARE
FAIRLY
EVENLY
DIVIDED.
%- A
LOT OF
THEM
SIMPLY
REFUSE
TO
%- BE
PUSHED
TOWARDS ONE
CANDIDATE
%- OR
ANOTHER.
%- ABOUT 60%
OF
THOSE
UNDECIDED
%- FOLKS WHEN
WE
PUSHED
THEM
SAY
%- NO I REALLY
AM
UNDECIDED.
%- >>
YOU
SPOKE
TO THIS
A
MOMENT
%- AGO
BUT
THE
PRESIDENT'S
OVERALL
%- JOB
APPROVAL
NUMBERS
ARE
UNDER
%- WATER,
52%
DISPROVING TO
44%
%- APPROVING AND
YET HE
HAS
GOOD
%- APPROVAL
ON
THE
ECONOMY.
%- >>
THAT'S
RIGHT.
%- WE'VE
SEEN
THIS
CONSISTENTLY %- THROUGHOUT HIS
TERM
AND
%- CERTAINLY
OVER
THE LAST
SIX
%- MONTHS HE
HAS
BEEN ABOUT
8%
%- MORE DISAPPROVE THAN
APPROVE
AS
%- WE
ARE
NOW OR
SOMETIMES
10
BUT
%- THE
ECONOMY
DOES REMAIN
THE %- STRONG SUIT.
%- 51% APPROVE OF
THE
JOB HE
IS
%- DOING
THERE.
%- COMPARED TO
JUST
41%
ON
THE
%- CORONAVIRUS
AND 37%
ON
HANDLING
%- PROTESTS.
%- SO
THE
ECONOMY IS THE
TRONG
%- SUIT.
%- >>
LET'S
LOOK
AT
TONY
EVERS
%- CORONAVIRUS APPROVAL
AND
%- DISAPPROVAL
NUMBERS.
%- 56%
APPROVE
OF
HOW
HE
IS
%- HANDLING
THE
PANDEMIC.
%- WHAT
DO YOU
THINK
EXPLAINS
%- THAT,
EVEN
THOUGH
IT'S
HIS %- LOWEST
APPROVAL
SINCE
MARCH?
%- >> YOU'RE
RIGHT.
%- IN
MARCH
HE
SHOT
UP
TO
A
%- PHENOMENAL 76%
ON
HANDLING
%- COVID.
%- THIS
WAS
A
PHENOMENON
WE SAW
%- ACROSS THE
COUNTRIES.
%- GOVERNORS
IN
MOST
STATES
GOT %- REALLY
HIGH
MARKS FOR
THEIR
%- INITIAL
RESPONSE.
%- THAT SUPPORT HAS
FALLEN
OFF IN
%- THE
MONTHS
SINCE.
%- THOUGH
WITH
EVERS
IT'S STILL
%- SOLIDLY NET POSITIVE.%-I
THINK
PART
OF
IT
IS
SIMPLY
%- THAT
GOVERNORS WERE
PROACTIVE
%- IN
DEALING
WITH
THE
VIRUS
BUT
%- THERE HAVE
BEEN DISAGREEMENTS %- WITH
THEM
OVER
THAT.
%- WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP HE
ONLY
%- HIT
A
HIGH
OF
51%
APPROVAL ON
%- CORONAVIRUS
IN
MARCH.
%- AND
HAS
FALLEN
OFF,
AS
I
SAID, %- DOWN
TO
41%
NOW.
%- NEVER
AS
HIGH AS
THE
GOVERNORS
%- GOT.
%- >>
SPEAKING
OF
BEING
PROACTIVE,
%- THE
MASK MANDATE
HAS
72%
%- SUPPORT.%-A
BIG
NUMBER
EVEN
AS
%- REPUBLICANS ARE
IN

%- TO

IT.
%- WHAT DO YOU
THINK
IS
THE
%- POLITICAL
SCIENCE
OF
TURNING
A
%- PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS PARTISAN %- IN
THIS
WAY?
%- >>
IT
IS
SORT
OF
STRIKING
THAT
%- IT
HAS
BECOME
AS PARTISAN
AS
IT
%- IS.
%- IN
THIS
MONTH'S
POLL,
THOUGH,
%- WE
SAW NEAR
UNANIMITY
AMONG
%- DEMOCRATS.%-98%
SUPPORTED
THE MASKS.
%- 66%
OF

AMONG REPUBLICANS
IT
WAS
AN
%- EVEN

A TRUE

%- THE
FACT

WAS %- CREATED
TO
ELECT

%- COURT
DOCUMENTS
FROM
%- REDISTRICTING LAWSUITS
SHOW
%- REPUBLICANS DREW THE 14th
%- ASSEMBLY

SO
THE
