Wisconsin is ending the week with nearly 17 hundred people in the hospital with the coronavirus.
The state’s Hospital Association yesterday said just over 16-hundred and 50 people are hospitalized, including 410 in the ICU. Those numbers are just about where the state was to begin the week. The Hospital Association, of course, doesn’t track the number of people hospitalized with the virus, compared to the number of people hospitalized because of it.
Meanwhile, public health managers in Madison are telling people not to panic about the omicron variant. Public Health Madison & Dane County director Janel Heinrich yesterday said there are now three confirmed omicron cases in the county, and she expects that number to go-up. But Heinrich is telling people not to freak-out. She says while the omicron ‘deserves our attention,’ most cases so far have been mild.
