Paragraph: "Major industries in Wisconsin have sustained significant economic losses during the coronavirus pandemic, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the tourism sector. Wisconsin plays host to about 112 million tourists in a year, according to the WorldAtlas website, and 2019 was ""a record setting year, and the largest year for Wisconsin in at least a decade"" said Wisconsin Secretary of Tourism-designee Sara Meaney. However, the loss of revenue in 2020 is massive, she said. In a May 24, 2020, appearance on the WISN-TV (Channel 12) show ""UpFront,"" she said, ""Unemployment in our state in general is at about a quarter of our population. It’s actually over 50% of travel and tourism-related jobs that are now facing unemployment."" Meaney went on to say that just in the weeks since the pandemic hit, the state has lost more than a billion dollars in tourism dollars. ""Since the week ending March 14, Wisconsin actually saw a drop in tourism spending compared to last year of $1.7 billion,"" she said. Wisconsin’s tourism industry should come back a bit this summer. Some northern resorts have opened and state campgrounds reopened June 10, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. But that tourism recovery could be an uphill climb if Meaney is correct that year-over-year weekly travel spending in the state has dropped $1.7 billion since March. Let’s take a look. Craig Trost, Wisconsin Department of Tourism communications director, pointed PolitiFact Wisconsin to the U.S. Travel Association, which commissioned a study by Tourism Economics, the firm the department uses for its economic impact data. The U.S. Travel Association is a national, non-profit organization representing the travel industry, with various sectors — including transportation, lodging, retail, recreation, leisure and entertainment and food service, meetings and trade shows. Adam Sacks, president of Tourism Economics, in an email to PolitiFact Wisconsin, explained that the analysis is based on a combination of factors: daily hotel data (nights and revenue) from STR, a research company that tracks the hospitality industry; flight data (seats and passengers) from Airline Data Inc. and the Transportation Security Administration; and drive travel data (outside 50 mile radius) from Arrivalist based on mobile device data. Trost said the week ending March 14 was significant because that is when COVID-19 began significantly impacting tourism spending. ""Since the beginning of March, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in over $176 billion in losses for the U.S. travel economy,"" the report states. According to the report, Wisconsin’s  year-over-year net change in weekly travel spending from the week ending March 28 to the week ending May 16 was down about $200 million each week. When going back earlier in March, the report notes losses for the week ending March 14 at $17 million and the week ending March 21 of $50 million. That brings the total to $1.775 billion. Romy Snyder, CEO/President of the Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau, said it will take time to correctly analyze and know the  financial impact of COVID-19 on Wisconsin Dells. ""We do know the loss of visitors has been detrimental to the local tourism economy,"" Snyder said in an email. ""According to 2019 numbers, the spring and summer seasons account for 66% of direct visitor spending in Wisconsin Dells."" Snyder said area businesses are ready to welcome visitors. ""Wisconsin Dells’ businesses are working to accommodate current visitors to the area in a safe manner by increasing sanitation procedures and limiting capacities and hours of operation,"" Snyder said. ""We know Wisconsin Dells has strong brand awareness in the Midwest, which will help our area when people are ready to travel and are looking for an accessible vacation destination with a diversity of activities."" Jon Jarosh of Destination Door County said area businesses have been getting ready and opening up. ""Everybody has a little different protocol in terms of what they’re going to allow at their particular business,"" Jarosh said on the same ""UpFront"" program where Meaney appeared via remote. ""We’re asking our visitors and residents that are out and about to just respect the individual businesses and what they are asking for. But by and large most businesses are going to be asking that their customers do wear a face covering of some sort and also just practice social distancing guidelines."" A major Dells attraction, Noah’s Ark water park, set its opening date for June 20, the first day of summer. The water park plans a number of precautions in line with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those precautions include social distancing and limiting capacity not only in the park itself but also on specific attractions and in buildings. The park is requiring guests to RSVP for the day they want to visit, and visitors must buy tickets in advance online. Walk-up tickets will not be sold. Meaney said the state’s tourism losses have topped $1.7 billion since March. Data from weekly studies commissioned by the U.S. Travel Association, an organization with over 1,100 members nationwide, found that beginning the week ending March 14, when the COVID-19 crisis first began to significantly impact tourism spending, Wisconsin was down $17 million compared to a year earlier. The drop in year-over-year travel spending in the state mounted weekly, with the latest available report reporting a drop of $214 million for the week ending May 16. That brings the state tourism sector drop to $1.775 billion since the week ending March 14. Claim: “Since the week ending March 14, Wisconsin actually saw a drop in tourism spending compared to last year of $1.7 billion.”
Decrease in tourism dollars became apparent the week of March 14, with a year-over-year drop of $17 million. Year-over-year decreases continued to mount, with drops of about $200 million per week statewide. A study commissioned by the U.S. Travel Association found year-over-year decreases totaled $1.775 billion from March 14 to May 16.

Paragraph: "There is no mention of cost. The story could have at least reported what the drug costs in its current use against blood cancer. The story did a good job of explaining both the potential benefits and harms of the drugs. This was a particular strength of this story – and made it stand out in comparison with the LA Times blog story that we also reviewed. Harms were emphasized from the outset – even in the headline – in the AP story but were never mentioned in the LA Times story. And this story reminded readers of the side effects encountered with another MS drug, Tysabri. Outstanding job on this issue by the AP. The story did a very good job of explaining the studies. There is no sign of disease-mongering in this story. Two apparently independent sources were quoted. The story did a good job comparing the new drugs with existing approaches to treat MS. Story explains that the drug is already sold to treat a rare blood cancer and stated that ""it’s too soon to know if the pills will be approved by the government or widely adopted by physicians."" It does not report, however, as the LA TImes blog did, that ""The drug company MD Serono, an affiliate of Merck, has requested approval from the Food and Drug Administration to market the tablet. However it recently received a ""refuse to file"" letter from the FDA, which means the agency is requiring additional information or data. MD Serono said it is pursuing the matter with the FDA and hopes to re-submit its application."" We think that’s a crucial piece of information that affects availability, although, of course, doctors can still prescribe it for off-label use even before the FDA acts on the new request. The novelty of ""tests of the first two oral drugs developed for treating MS"" was clear in the story. It is clear that this story did not rely on a news release." Claim: MS pills show promise and risk, studies say
Nice job explaining harms and benefits – including putting the potential risks/harms right in the headline. The appeal of an oral drug for MS is clear. The risks emphasized in this story, though, raise important questions

Paragraph: But what about when the shift, deployment or career ends? Suicide and addiction occur at a staggering rate among first responders and military members, due to post-traumatic stress disorder, coupled with a gaping hole in accessible, appropriate mental health care and a stigma that keeps many of them from seeking help, said Navy veteran Eric Golnick. The “epidemic” is the reason he founded Veteran & First Responder Healthcare, an outpatient clinic with a location in Paramus that recently partnered with the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to offer free mental health services to veterans and first responders. During Golnick’s last deployment as a Navy officer, he said, he had a sailor die by suicide in front of him. Suicide is on the rise among veterans and first responders,statistics show. More police officers and firefighters died last year by suicide than in the line of duty, according to a study by the Ruderman Family Foundation, a nonprofit that works for the rights of people with disabilities. On average, 20 veterans die by suicide every day, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports. “I don’t want to ever have to look another family in the eyes and say, ‘I’m sorry that this happened to your son or daughter,’ ” Golnick said. To him as an officer, enlisted sailors were like his children, Golnick said. Still, it wasn’t until years later that feelings of guilt and shame about what happened surfaced and the PTSD began to take hold. Golnick began drinking to excess. When he tried to get help, he encountered a lack of “cultural understanding” between himself and a psychologist who had never served. “If I hadn’t been self-aware enough or in a place where I was ready to get help, I would have just been like, ‘The heck with this,’ which I think is what happens to many veterans,” he said. That’s why when a close friend asked Golnick to step in as the CEO of Veteran & First Responder Healthcare — part of Strive Healthcare, which serves the general population — he jumped at the chance. “For me, it’s a way to continue to serve,” he said. “I feel like I’m giving back to the folks that I served with.” The program is led and designed by people who understand where first responders and veterans are coming from, often via firsthand experience. They work in concert with the state and the federal Department of Veterans Affairs in an effort to fill in health care gaps. Veteran & First Responder Healthcare will be offered at the Strive Center and Community Health in Paramus. VFR Healthcare in partnership with the NJ Department of Military and Veteran Affairs will offer outpatient, substance-abuse and mental health trauma-informed treatment programs and services designed specifically for Veterans, First Responders, and their families. An open house was held at the Strive center in Paramus on Tuesday, December 11, 2018. Veteran & First Responder Healthcare will be offered at the Strive Center and Community Health in Paramus.

(Photo: Amy Newman/Northjersey.com) Deborah McKinley, vice president for programming at the clinic, said there’s a misconception among veterans and their loved ones that when they come home, they’re well. “Active military personnel today have to be hyperaware of everything that’s going on around them,” she said. “People think and veterans themselves think that once they’re home, any symptoms they have — PTSD, substance misuse, trauma — will be ameliorated right when they walk in their front door.” That’s not generally the case, McKinley said. Jenn Stivers, clinical outreach coordinator for the clinic, said multiple deployments compound the problem. “If you keep getting deployed, you’re more likely to experience trauma, traumatic brain injury, physical injury,” Stivers said. “Personal lives can be affected, relationships, families. It becomes harder and harder to readjust to civilian life and harder to relate to other people or ask for help.” What’s more, veterans are trained not to talk about their problems, Stivers said. “You pick yourself up by your bootstraps, and that works when you’re in active duty in a combat situation, but when you’re dealing with everyday life, that can get in the way if you’re experiencing problems,” she said. Vets are a “stubborn bunch of folks,” Golnick said. In their minds, they’re the protectors, there to help other people. The stigma surrounding mental illness makes veterans fear that they’re going to lose their job or security clearance, or be seen by peers in a different light. The same holds true for first responders, said Robert Williams, program manager at the Paramus clinic and a former emergency medical services technician in East Orange. Responding to devastating scenes “takes a toll on you mentally and psychologically,” he said. He recalls being particularly touched by incidents involving babies or pregnant women when he was about to become a father himself. Still, the first responder culture doesn’t promote talking about trauma with colleagues, Williams said. “It really affected me — I couldn’t sleep,” he said. “But it’s that culture: You can drink and get high together, but you don’t talk about the experiences you’ve had. It’s really about keeping the pretense of ‘We can handle it.’ ” Golnick said a particular focus of the program is treating the underserved veteran populations, such as women and the LGBTQ community. Many female veterans are affected by military sexual trauma — ranging from harassment to assault — though men are also affected, McKinley said. Women are also not always recognized as veterans by the general population and a have a less robust community of peers to rely on. “Recognizing that this is a population that has a different experience of combat and service and being able to provide for these folks is so important,” McKinley said. Williams said the specialized nature of the program — veterans helping veterans, first responders helping first responders — is key to creating a sense of trust and understanding and an ironclad support system. McKinley agrees. “Our tagline is ‘You served, now let us serve you,’ and that’s something everyone in our organization really stands behind, because we have experienced firsthand what service means,” she said. “We understand how the culture promotes teamwork, understanding, integrity, quality and commitment. We feel we can provide those things in helping someone access care when they come home.” ___ Online: https://njersy.co/2rYfWYc ___ Information from: The Record (Woodland Park, N.J.), http://www.northjersey.com Claim: Clinic helps veterans, first responders with free care.

They are there to protect and serve. They are Army Strong. They do whatever it takes and are exposed to trauma most people can’t fathom.
