Wisconsin Could Make it Thru Coronavirus Without Shortage of Hospital Beds

A new analysis predicts Wisconsin could make it thru the coronavirus pandemic without a shortage in hospital beds. That’s if social distancing mandates ordered by Governor Tony Evers are maintained. The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics & Evaluation projection for every state showed as of Sunday that Wisconsin’s peak resource use will come in 53 days, on May 22. On Monday, the data changed, indicating the state would peak in 26 days, on April 26. That indicates social distancing measures could work as intended to flatten the curve, if they stay in place and people continue to stay at home.
