Deaths in Wisconsin due to covid-19 have stayed in the 4 to 19 per day range (average of a little under 10 per day) for the last month.

Related to Colorado but pertinent nonetheless:

Although the death toll has been on the decline in the state in recent weeks, Colorado's reopening has not coincided with a 14-day drop in its COVID-19 cases — a federal recommendation for when states can begin to open up — though a recent surge can be attributed to a large backlog of tests finally yielding results, according to the state health department.
