I have caught articles on social media talking about Froedert and Marshfield Hospital system finding themselves with no room for anyone just this past week. The whole state has effed around and is about to find out.

My 89yo father in law went to the ER on Sunday for heart issues and tested positive. At 89 with an over-crowded hospital, they gave him an infusion of monoclonal antibodies and sent him home to sink or swim (my words). Thankfully, he was vaccinated and boosted and is doing much better now.
