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.

Bullspit. I don’t know where you get your information. Our hospitals are setting new records every day for the number of patients with real covid disease. The death rate while fortunately not rising much is far from zero. While I am not a proponent of masking and lockdowns the surge is real and is still killing people
So does influenza.
We don’t shut down the country for the flu.
It's not a question of the hospital being 'near capacity' ... hospitals have a set number of beds available for China Virus patients. When those beds are full, the hospital cannot simply make more beds available.
China Virus patients have specific beds in a part of the hospital that are dedicated to it. Specific doctors, nurses, etc.. are also assigned. As it's been explained to me by a nurse and hospital administrator who are both working on this issue, it's not as simple as "beds." It takes time to shift doctors, nurses, etc.. over to China Virus care, and then before they are allowed to go back to their "regular duties" they have to quarantine for two weeks first.
So again, it's not that hospitals are at capacity, it's that the beds they've allocated for China Virus patients are "full."
As for me, I sure as heck have a new appreciation for all the doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers, hospital administrators, etc.. that are all working on this. It damn' sure didn't sound easy to me when it was being explained to me.
I completely agree with you. I think the political response has been an absolute disaster from many states; particularly ones run by Democrats. Far from being helpful, they’ve destroyed the economy, ruined lives, driven families into poverty, and some (like Cuomo) have caused deaths with policies like forcing nursing homes to accept known-infected patients.
I agree the response is terrible, but the problem does actually exist. Claiming it’s all sunshine and roses out there right now defies observable reality.
Give us a list of people who have been denied treatment and then we’ll talk about about why.
Have you tried quercetin with the zinc? Quercetin is over the counter, available on Amazon and is recommended by Dr Zelenko as a substitute. Also, try speakwithanmd dot com or insulinhub dot com for hydroxychloroquine.

Wishing you the best.
The Big Boo
imagine a real pandemic.
one in which 10% of the US population dies.
that was the spanish flu, 100 yrs ago.
in that situation, there wouldn’t be any proportioning of beds for one illness or another. every hospital would be a mash triage unit.
we don’t have anything near this going on.
Anything with a 99.996+% recovery rate isn't a pandemic. Certainly not a deadly one and certainly nothing to shut down an entire economy over.
(And I say this as one of the high risk people who the virus would likely kill due to an autoimmune disorder that I have.)
I had a doctor here in Longmont, Co. tell me the hospitals were filled to capacity and the staff were dropping from exhaustion. I told him I didn’t believe him and he said ‘you voted for Trump didn’t you?’. I drive by our hospitals and they looked abandoned except for emergency vehicles. My friends wife ,a nurse, got laid off because of lack of work. Someones lying big time.
Thanks. I should get some in case my husband gets any symptoms. I’m probably almost through it, suspect my lungs are going to be weak for some time.
I thought heat was supposed to kill the virus, not cold. Ditch the sno cone and make friends with a lawyer or politician for a guaranteed supply of hot air!
Very interesting. Thanks
Everything kills the Wuhan except Windex and Remdisivir.
And I’m not sure about the Windex.
Windex cures everything! I saw it on My Big Fat Greek Wedding, therefore it must be true! /s
i can only tell you what i am living abs sewing with my own eyes. believe it or not i care not.
