This is by no means a scientific study, just a look at data. On July 24th, the day before the Minnesota mask mandate took effect, MN had 49,488 COVID cases and a 5% positivity rate. As of today, MDH has reported 333,626 cases and as of Nov. 28 the positivity rate was 11.4%.

Moved my daughter into her dorm at the University of St. Thomas today. In true pandemic fashion she goes home with us today and back on campus next week closer to school start. Great job by UST spreading out the move-in times and days. She can’t wait to go back! @UofStThomasMN

On 5 Eyewitness News “Nightcast” just now Liz Rammer of Hospitality Minnesota said bar/restaurant industry is on “verge of collapse.” She says outdoor seating-only was “never part of our conversation” with Walz administration. Rammer was guest at Gov news conference recently.

If you don’t see the contrast between what the Vice President said at the exact moment looting and lawlessness are taking root in Mpls you have blinders on. I’m sorry if facts offend you.

This story quotes MDH saying MN is “on the edge of a cliff” regarding COVID-19 cases. It says 1,099 cases reported Friday reflects “ongoing high rate of transmission.” The story does not report the 1,099 cases resulted from more than 29,000 tests, the second highest total so far.

We had a great late-night celebration for Lou Nanne at Mancini’s where he has toasted the end of every tournament for decades. Lou’s 60th and final year broadcasting the tourney. This is my 20th year working with Lou on the tourney and I think he still calls me “the new guy.” 😂

A great 43-year run for meteorologist Dave Dahl is coming to an end on our 6 p.m. 5 Eyewitness News program. He’ll be on until 7 p.m. and then then he’ll ride off into the sunset. Thanks for the memories...Dave! (And all the running and backyard hockey rink forecasts) 🏃🏻🏒🥅

Republicans challenge this claim by DFL Gov. Tim Walz that 80% of MN students "missed fewer than 10 days of in-class learning." We've reached out to the Walz campaign, the MN Dept. of Education and Education Minnesota to see if any of them can provide a source for this claim.
