“I think, unfortunately, that it could get really, really terrible,” a doctor in the Madison Covid-19 unit said. “I fear for the reality that I think is coming.”

MADISON, Wis. – Inside UW Health, the Covid-19 units keep growing — and the stress is rising.

Wisconsin also set several records: most cases in a seven-day period l the highest average cases per day and the highest average coronavirus-related deaths per day . UW Health has had months to prepare, putting it in a better position than most. It has adequate personal protective equipment and it has the space to be able to rearrange Covid-19 wards. But if the flu season creates another surge of patients, staffing could be a challenge.“What I can’t do by the snap of my fingers is create critical care nurses, create critical care physicians and bring their expertise to the bedside,” he said.

US Covid Deaths: 225K Battle Deaths: WWII-292K (1941-1945); Civil War-215K(1861-1865); WWI-53K (1917-1918); Vietnam-47K (1964-1975); Korean War-34K (1950-1953); Am. Rev.-4K (1775-1783) Look at the totals & how long it took to accumulate. We're at war & Trump fiddles!

Almost like a mass murder, incompetence as the weapon,

What is Joe Biden's carbon tax? In Canada this STOPPED THE ECONOMY IN ITS TRACKS!!!

Do you realize the weekly record and the weekly average record are measuring the same exact thing, the latter simply equal the former divided by 7? Why not divide the avg by 24 and claim record avg hourly infection rate, too?

Then stop tik toking in the hospital god damn it

PEOPLE NEED TO QUIT PLAYING WITH THEIR MASK

Where is Paul Ryan and Scott Walker they should be volunteering at the local hospitals to help, because of trump and pence super spreaders rallies.

Hay que utilizar la mascarilla y seguir los demás protocolos sanitarios, al virus no hay que 'politizarlo'.

Wow! If only we could have seen this coming, America. Did no one pay attention to New York’s fight?

Poor, Wisconsin. So many Trumpland farmer voters. Their gop state congress won’t let the governor do anything to help. They have to somehow flip that congress.

If Mr.Trump were at his desk working for the American people, earning our trust through his dedicated efforts to save lives help this nation then we would be more enthused about him Instead he he flys around from city to city helping to spread his virus No second term for you sir

Thank you to Trump 👎👎👍😡😡

Covid 99.97% survival rate if infected. Influenza 99.8% survival rate if infected. Hmm

Why use faith in reverse? Worry serves no purpose. There is always opportunity to reach for a better feeling thought no matter what.. The cells of my body are bathed daily in the perfection of my Devine being”... 💞🙏💞

BFF808 Your immune system is compromised simply by the energy your body uses to regulate your body temperature, especially in cold months. Give everyone you love warm headgear, give them to everyone! I fear we'll be wearing tech-helmets with filters and ventilation/circulation built in.

Fear-mongering

HiraethResists I often think about those treating CV patients ... think about them knowing that their job isn't going to get any easier for a long, long time. I hope they get free access to counseling for their PTSD, and someone somewhere should track suicides and suspicious auto accidents. 😪

NYC remembers what it was like. It was horrible and no one wishes it on anyone. That said, this is what happens when you vote against your best interests.

A month from now with the election behind us and Covid deaths surging into winter, we will be asking ourselves “what the heck were we thinking having unprotected campaign rallies which undoubtedly spread the virus”. It is just starting now with record cases. Simply science.

So glad my friend retired from this hospital this past summer.

Seriously what the actual fk is wrong with your country. Thinking of all those health care workers who have to risk their lives to save others.

“有人在你眼前挣扎着呼吸,太令人心痛...你看可以看到他们眼里的恐惧,你可以看到他们有多害怕.......” 原本是给病人予以支持如今压力重重,医生担心最糟的结果将来临——流感季洪峰到来与新冠叠加...不堪重负可能将无法应对...

Wisconsin (un)proud!

More fear mongering. This hospital has 28 designated Covid beds and 20 patients. Are you kidding me. This is the best end or times Covid story NBC can tee up! Sad libtards.

What happened to the flu, this year? Seriously wondering.

More dear mongering. This hospital was 28 Covid beds. 20 patients. Holly $hit the work Is ending!

So are you people covering this as you should? This so called prez is systematically and intentionally encouraging the spread of Covid. How F***ing stupid are his cult followers. It’s true. It’s like a cult complete with brain washing techniques. Repeat repeat repeat project

Better close the country down to prevent the flu from spreading too. Ruining the country's economy and people's livelihoods is insane plan.

Maskless super-spreader rallies, college sports, bars open ... Trump doesn’t care. Packers Badgers

That is all we heard in the spring... what a crock. CA was fine. Stop whining and live your life.

I voted based on facts, not Trumpisms and not false narratives. Trump has been saying the virus will go away since February... consistently WRONG!

Republican governor? There’s the problem. 🥴

And unfortunately it will get worse after trumps super spreader of a rally. Can’t anyone stop him

Its almost as if there’s a pandemic realDonaldTrump VP

The worst is when you’re out of necessary resources to save a life and someone who is dying comes into the Emergency Department. This should never happen

How’s the Wisconsin legislature & Supreme Court feeling about their rulings now? They’re murderers.

LaurenWern We’re fucked.

I wouldn't call it a HEALTHY culture of celebrating badger games right now. I'd call any gathering of 25 people celebrating a Badger game with a 25% positively rate anything BUT healthy.

meanwhile, go ahead and have a college football game in Madison, Wisconsin tonight ... even with no fans, there are people who have jobs to make the event possible. Football life ? come on, we're better than that.

No, Our Supreme Leader, Donnie the Conman, has told us for 8 months that it “virtually doesn’t harm anyone”.

They didn't say that when they were high fiving mass protesters in the streets.

Rapid recovery of patients on ventilators and ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) was seen in patients with severe medical comorbidities after three days of treatment with RLF-100 under FDA Emergency Use IND authorization at multiple clinical sites.

Well the good news is there’s only 11 days left… Hang in there

Plague porn.

I think hospitals should be able to refuse treatment to people who attend Trump’s maskless superspreader rallies.

Reality is, we are seeing 10 Million people die each year of cancer. Where is the hysteria concerning cancer patients lives?

But trump told us during the debate last night that we are turning the corner in regards to COVID19 Btw

Well according to the President we rounded the curve. What a circus clown

So do many of us. Wear your mask -- 2 is better than 1 -- and don't mingle in crowds. People are sadly very careless about social distancing. Stay safe and stay healthy.
