MADISON, Wis. — In response to the surging COVID-19 case numbers and hospitals being overwhelmed with incoming patients, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers issued a new emergency order and public face covering order on Friday for all residents over the age of five to wear coverings in all indoor settings, with some exceptions.

This sounds like #FakeNews
no hospital in the country is near capacity
Making it worse so biden can save us
Cold seems to kill this virus.
Here’s the answer.
Everybody carries a sno cone.
Whenever someone starts talking hit em in the face with your sno cone.
"At capacity" and "near capacity" are subjective. It's not just the number of beds, but also how well staffed they are, or are chosen to be.
To be fair, hospitals want to be as close to full capacity as they can but still have room to accept new patients at any given time.
That only makes sense. If you have beds, nurses, doctors, and equipment set up and staffed to handle those beds, you don’t want half of them sitting empty.
But you don’t want 100% capacity either if it can be avoided. Patient care can suffer there.
But when I see this “filled to capacity” BS, it reeks of a political agenda.
Let’s create a crises by not prescribing medications that would KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!
HCQ + ZINC + AZYTHROMYCIN
Everything kills the Wuhan except Windex and Remdisivir.
And I’m not sure about the Windex.
Now that we know more about how WI was stolen from Trump, we're seeing how our very popular Gov. Walker lost this election.
No one here is adhering to the lockdown, masks are being worn by most everyone, which is also a face diaper. Doesn't do a darn bit of good.
Hospitals need to make a profit, so of course they need patients.
YES we know people are getting the 19, yes it's contagious, but what about all the regular flu? Has it disappeared completely? uhhh yes???
Wisconsin looks good. Milwaukee county still has roughly half of hospital beds open. Only 391 covid hospitalizations in that county, which is over twice as many as the 2nd highest county total. False alarm, ignore him.

It’s the staffing....its not the beds.
This is, of course, a lie. Physicians around the nation are unaware of ANY increase in COVID cases requiring hospitalization. Deaths caused specifically by COVID have fallen to nearly zero. There is no epidemic. Treatment for COVID is simple and quick acting. STOP THE FRAUD.
Exactly. I’ve been battling Covid-breathing is difficult as I have the “ground glass” pneumonia in both lungs. Was prescribed a steroid for the inflammation. So frustrating knowing that there is a cheap, safe and widely available treatment, but they will not prescribe it.
I’m middle aged, in fairly good health, not overweight. I’m surprised at how this has taken me down. Every breath is a struggle. I felt better this morning-made my bed and carried a basket of clothes to the laundry. Took me two hours to catch my breath again. I’m on day 12 of this. Older, less healthy people are struggling even more than I and could tremendously benefit from treating the actual disease instead of just managing symptoms. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. It’s ridiculous to withhold effective medication. I’ve been taking zinc but obviously without the prescription meds it hasn’t cured anything.
The more and longer people wear masks, the high and more sever the virus
Modern hospitals are designed to run at 90% capacity. Unfilled beds are not generating revenue.
My wife's hospital, one of the main one's in Boise is near capacity. They are also suffering from a staffing shortage due to staff being ill. The other main hospital is in the same situation.
That being said, being at capacity is actually a goal. It's how they make money.
Hospitals are supposed to be near capacity. It would be a waste of money if you built a hospital that didn’t have patients in beds.
Really? Doctors on FreeRepublic who actually treat COVID-19 patients are saying very different things from this.
Not “sky is falling”, by any means, but it’s a real disease taking real lives.
Interesting stats at graphs at this link...

Folks are being suckered.
Utilization rates for beds, including ICU are high.
But ventilator utilization is only about 25% currently.
Wonder how many hospitalized are for vs. with WuFlu...
