Pretty sure Donald can kiss any prospect of winning Wisconsin buh-bye.
Wisconsin's coronavirus crisis is dire and is going to get worse before it improves, state health officials said Wednesday.
The warnings were paired with the announcement of an alternate care facility set to open next week at State Fair Park in West Allis, intended to help free up beds at hospitals inundated with coronavirus patients.
"Our state is in a dangerous place," state Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm said. "We are overwhelming our health care system."
Hospitals in Wisconsin are treating nearly triple the number of coronavirus patients as a month ago, and they're doing so with dwindling bed capacity and severe staffing shortages as hundreds of health care workers exposed to the virus in the community are forced to quarantine at home.
"This is going to get worse before it gets better. Our current surge in cases will lead to even more hospitalizations, and we must prepare for that," Palm said.
