2:26 p.m.: Wisconsin records largest single-day increase in COVID-19 cases
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/04/22/coronavirus-wisconsin-latest-updates-cases-cancellations/3002181001/
Wisconsin saw its largest single-day increase in confirmed coronavirus cases since the state began testing, largely due to a hotspot in Brown County.
Of 225 new positive tests announced Wednesday by the Department of Health Services, 88 came from Brown County, where nearly 150 cases have been tied to a Green Bay meatpacking plant.
Overall, the county's confirmed cases have increased from 41 to 410 in just over two weeks.
The previous high for a single day was April 1, when 199 new cases were announced.
The state's death toll due to COVID-19 increased by four, to 246.
The state's hospitals had just over 350 COVID-19 patients admitted, according to the Wisconsin Hospital Association, down more than 50 from a week prior, and nearly 230 patients awaiting test results.

(9,631 posts)1. i think we are going to be in trouble with the meat supply
day after day I am reading about another packing facility closing, yesterday it was farmers killing chickens because they can't sell the eggs.....but people can't find eggs to buy in some of the cities and the prices have gone way up where they can be found
the federal government needs to sort out the new distribution chains, help the meat plants with cleaning and getting them opened back up,if the lines need to move at half the speed so the workers don't have to stand so close, so be it and people working in the food supply industries should be at top of the lists for testing
instead we have the occupant at the wh fixated on respirators (last weeks problem) instead of realizing where the next fire is going to be
