AND
THANKS VERY

YOU'RE
QUITE
WELCOME.%->>
WELL,
WISCONSIN'S FIELD
%-HOSPITAL, AS
WE'VE SAID
IS,
IS
%-ACCEPTING COVID PATIENTS NOW.
%-DO
YOU
EXPECT TO
HAVE
TO
SEND
%-PATIENTS
THERE?
%->>
WE
ACTUALLY TALKED
ABOUT
THAT
%-EARLIER
TODAY.
%-A
COUPLE PROBLEMS
WITH
THE
FIELD
%-HOSPITAL.
%-THE
FIRST
IS
IT'S
120
MILES
%-AWAY, SO
IT'S
NOT
LOGISTICALLY
%-THAT
CONVENIENT
FOR
OUR
%-PATIENCE'
FAMILIES
IF
WE
SEND
%-SOMEBODY 120
MILES
AWAY.
%-ALTHOUGH COVID PATIENTS
%-TYPICALLY CAN'T
HAVE
VISITORS.
%-THERE'S A
SEVERE
LIMITATION TO%-THE
SEVERITY
OF
ILLNESS THAT
THE
%-FACILITY CAN
HANDLE.
%-THEY
HAVE TO
BE
AMBULATORY.
%-THEY HAVE TO BE
ABLE TO
CHECK
%-THEIR
OWN
BLOOD
SUING ARE.
%-THE
NURSE
TO
PATIENT
RATIO
IS
%-1-7.
%-IT DOESN'T
OFFER
THE
SAME
LEVEL
%-OF
CARE WE CAN
GIVE IN
THE
%-HOSPITAL.
%->>
INTERESTING.
%-YOU PROVIDED US
WITH A
GRAPH OF
%-THE DAILY
COUNT
OF
ADMITTED
%-PATIENTS
WITH
COVID-19 AT
YOUR
%-HOSPITAL.
%-CLEARLY
THE
NUMBERS
GO
WAY
UP
%-STARTING
IN
OCTOBER.
%-OTHER THAN
SHEER
NUMBERS,
WHAT%-DO YOU WANT
PEOPLE
TO
KNOW
ABOUT
%-WHO THESE
PATIENTS
ARE
AND
WHO'S
%-MOST AT
RISK?
%->>
SO,
THAT
GRAPH
SHOWS A
%-STRIKING
RISE IN
CASES
THAT
%-ACTUALLY STARTED
THE
LAST
PART
%-OF SEPTEMBER.
%-AND I
GET A
DAILY
REPORT
THAT
%-DETAILS THE
NUMBER
OF
PATIENTS%-WE HAVE
IN
THE
HOSPITAL.
%-AND YOU
CAN
SEE
FROM
THAT
GRAPH
%-THAT WE HAD
KIND
OF A
NICE
%-LITTLE
HUMP
OR
WAVE BACK
IN
THE
%-SPRING AND
THEN
BY I
THINK IT%-WAS THE
THE
3rd
OR
4TH
OF
JUNE WE
%-ARE DOWN
TO
ONE
INPATIENT.
%-END OF
SEPTEMBER,
THE
NUMBERS
%-KEPT
RISING.
%-SO I
PLOTTED
THAT
ALL
OUT
ON AN
%-EXCEL SPREAD
SHEET,
GENERATED%-THAT GRAPH
AND
WENT,
MY
%-GOODNESS,
WE'RE
IN
FOR
TROUBLE
%-HERE.
THAT'S
EXACTLY
WHAT
WE'RE
%-SEEING.
%-AND
WE'RE
SEEING PEOPLE
OF
ALL
%-AGE
RANGES
--
I
SHOULDN'T
SAY
%-THAT.
%-RANGING
FROM
LATE
20s
TO
70s
%-AND ABOVE.
%-THE
VAST
MAJORITY
OF
PATIENTS
%-WE'RE SEEING
ARE
50
AND
ABOVE.
%-THE
MOST
VULNERABLE
IN
TERMS
OF
%-RISK
FOR
MORTALITY
ARE
ELDERLY
%-PEOPLE.
%-THE
OVERALL
MORTALITY RATE
IS
%-ABOUT
1%
OF
THOSE PEOPLE WHO
GET
%-IT WILL
DIE.
%-IF
YOU'RE ABOVE
70,
30%
OF
THOSE
%-PEOPLE WILL
NEED TO
BE
ADMITTED
%-AND 30%
OF
THOSE
WILL DIE.
%-THE
OLDER YOU
ARE,
THE
MORE
%-MEDICAL PROKS YOU
PROBLEMS YOU
HAVE,
THE
%-MORE RISK
OF
YOU
DYING
FROM
THE
%-DISEASE.
%-WE'RE
SEEING
ELDERLY
PEOPLE
WHO
%-DON'T
GO
ANYWHERE -- AND
I
ASK
%-PEOPLE WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU
%-GOT
IT?
%-THE OTHER
DAY
I
SAW AN
ELDERLY
%-MAN
IN
HIS
LATE
70s
WHO
SAID,%-I DON'T KNOW.
%-MY WIFE
AND
I
STAY
HOME.
%-WE
HAVEN'T BEEN
ANYWHERE.
%-WHO COMES
TO
VISIT?
%-MY
GRANDCHILDREN
BRING
MY
%-GROCERIES.
%-SO
THAT'S
THE
ONLY WAY
THAT
%-FAMILY COULD HAVE
GOTTEN
THE
%-VIRUS.
%-AND
THAT'S THE
THEME
WE'RE
%-HEARING OVER
AND
OVER
AND
OVER.
%-WE
HAD A
SMALL
FAMILY
BIRTHDAY
%-PARTY, JUST TEN
OF
US.
%-NOBODY
WAS
SICK
SO
WE
THOUGHT WE%-WERE
SAFE.
%-TURNS
OUT ONE
OF
THOSE
WAS
%-ASYMPTOMATIC AND SPREAD
IT
TO
%-OTHER PEOPLE.
%-THE
OLDER PEOPLE
AND
THOSE
WITH
%-OTHER
DISEASES
ARE
THE
ONES
WHO
%-HAVE TO BE
HOSPITALIZED.
%->> SO WHAT WOULD
THE
MESSAGE
BE
%-THERE
THEN.
%-IT'S
NOT
NECESSARILY PEOPLE
%-CRAMMING INTO
BARS
OR
GOING
TO
%-SO-CALLED SUPER
SPREADER
EVENTS,
%-BUT
WOULD
THAT
THEN MAKE
US
%-BELIEVE
THAT WE SHOULD
ALL
%-BASICALLY BE
TRYING
TO
%-SELF-QUARANTINE?%->>
THE
MESSAGE
IS
IF
IT'S
%-SOMEBODY YOU
KNOW
THAT
DOES
NOT
%úLIVE IN
YOUR
IMMEDIATE
%-HOUSEHOLD, YOU
NEED
TO
TAKE
THE
%-PRECAUTIONS WITH THAT
PERSON
%-WHEN
YOU GET TOGETHER.
%-SO
I'M
NOT
SAYING WE
SHOULDN'T%-GET TOGETHER.
%-BUT
WHEN WE HAVE
MEETINGS
IN
THE
%-HOSPITALS, WE
ALL
WEAR
MASKS.
%-WE HAVE --
THE
TABLES
LABELED TO
%-WHERE WE CAN
SIT
SO
WE'RE
%-PROPERLY
SOCIALDY
SOCIALLY DISTANCED.
%-IF YOU
HAVE A
BIRTHDAY PARTY
%-WITH TEN
PEOPLE WHO
AREN'T
%-LIVING WITH
YOU,
YOU
SHOULD ALL%-BE
WEARING A MASK.
%-IT
SOUNDS
HARSH, BUT
THAT'S
THE
%-ONLY WAY
WE'RE
GOING
TO
STEM
THE
%-TIDE
OF
THIS
PANDEMIC,
IS
NOT
%-SPREADING IT
TO EACH
OTHER.
%-AND
THE
SPREAD IS
OCCURRING
FROM
%-FAMILY MEMBERS
OR
CLOSE
FRIENDS.
%-YOU
KNOW,
YOU
GO
OUT
TO --
I
HAD
%-ANOTHER PATIENT WHO
WAS
PRETTY
%-SICK.%-SHE
WAS
IN
HER
EARLY 60s.
%-I
SAID,
WHERE DID YOU
GET
IT?
%-SOME OF
US
DECIDED TO GO OUT
TO%-A
BAR
ONE
NIGHT.
%-WE
WERE
ALL
FEELING
FINE.
%-SIX OF
US
GOT
IT.
%->>
WOW.
%-WHAT
ARE
YOUR
PROJECTIONS
ABOUT%-HOW
LONG
THIS
SECOND
WAVE
COULD
%-LAST?%->> SO
WE'VE
ACTUALLY
DONE
SOME
%-LOCAL
MODELING,
AND
THE LOCAL
%-MODELS
PREDICT THAT
THIS
SECOND
%-WAVE
WILL
PEAK
MID-NOVEMBER.
%-SO
THIS WILL
BE
ANOTHER
%-BELL-SHAPED CURVE JUST
LIKE
THAT
%-FIRST HUMP.
%-SO THAT
TAKES
THIS
WAVE OF
THE
%-PANDEMIC --%->> THAT
IS
TRULY

%-WE
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR
