Hospitals all over my state are laying off and furloughing healthcare workers. My wife who’s an internal medicine doctor stated they are asking for volunteers to be furloughed. One hospital (a university hospital and the states best trauma center) is losing a reported, but unconfirmed 3 mil a day.

Wtf the news told my this pandemic is killing everyone and it’s trumps fault. Our hospitals here are literally barren. They are straight out of 28 days later other than the 5-10 covid positive rooms.

Just a report from the front lines.

Wisconsinite here. The health care providers are planning on doing elective procedures again, including my group, starting Friday. We are essentially open for business as usual starting May 1st. It’s pretty much a big fuck you to Tony Evers. Even UW is on board. Hospitals and private groups are losing money like crazy. Evers hasn’t officially given the “ok”, but the health care system isn’t waiting for him.
