(30,760 posts)We have 28 confirmed cases and 1 death in our county. The hospital closest to me has only four ICU beds. We use another hospital and health care system to the north of us. They are affiliated with Madison WI as well. I don't know how any of them feel about their levels of preparation.
The thing that worries me here is non-compliance with the stay at home rules. Some of these MAGATs deliberately flout them. They mock the virus, and laugh at people who wear masks. I sometimes see them congregating in parking lots.
The largest city in our county has a population of a little less than 10,000 people. Some of the cases are from that city. I think the others may be from nursing homes.
I intend to stay home as much as possible. I hope you do the same. Be safe.
