But for at least a week we've be reading and hearing about how the hospitals are getting slammed and overrun. How come there is nobody at the covid unit?

F3600 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 In Minnesota, where cases are climbing...the message is. "Your just not masking and distancing hard enough!" Even though both are mandated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the stats from the Wisconsin Hospital Association. I don’t see hospitals being overrun, but cases are increasing rapidly. I suspect come flu season there will be co occurring covid and seasonal influenza infections. That has the potential to complicate treatment. It’s a concern. I’m a little curious about what’s driving the massive increase in cases here in Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FB page has a chart that shows 8 of the top 10 worst outbreaks are in WI. My wife has worked at a hospital in 3 of those towns in the last week. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is the average age of the dead . And what other issues did they have ? Really only thing that matters . If you catch a covid and are relitivly healthy you have a 99.8 %chance of survival . Look even a fat old out of shape orange man walk away in under a week . If you are in worse shape than trump you are pretty much just fucked any way .

Talking with a hospital administrator in Iowa she said here its weddings as the big driver. So many delayed from spring and people ready to party together. Hardly anyone wears masks at receptions.

racer254 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 And yet the UW is having football. Schools are still in session in many places and many middle school and high school sports are going on like nothing is happening. The cases started going way up when school and sports started in the fall. It's not hard to figure out what is causing it, but only a few want to have their children at home during school and the sports fanatics and coaches do not seem to want to cancel.

Part of the surge's are in area's that didn't see a surge earlier. (more people to become "positive.") I read in Iowa a large portion of our surge in in NW Iowa that had low numbers since the start up till now. Same thing kind of went on in other states already.

Still doesn’t explain Wisconsin’s explosion of numbers. Only 5 million people and #1 or #2. Could be the bar sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This simply shows that herd immunity is actually true. I was told that my immunity will last at least 90 days. Not many people have gotten it twice.

Fact is the death rate is not spiking. Yes it tends to follow a few weeks behind infections but if Wisconsin is like other states that had surges post the initial round Wisconsin shouldn't see a significant spike in deaths either. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#pop-factors_newdeaths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
