>> JOINING US NOW IS DOCTOR
BRAD BURMEISTER EMERGENCY
PHYSICIAN AT BELL IN HOSPITAL
IN WISCONSIN DOCTOR WELCOME TO
THE SHOW. WE JUST LISTENED TO
THAT REPORT THE CDC SAYING
YOUNG ADULTS ARE SPARKING THESE
HOT SPOTS WHERE YOUR THOUGHTS
ON THIS ARE.
>> I THINK THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
THE CASE WE'VE BEEN SAYING I'M
VERY EARLY ON IN THIS PANDEMIC
THAT IT REALLY KEY TO HAVE
PEOPLE SCREENED REGULARLY FOR
CORONAVIRUS ESPECIALLY THAT
SYMPTOMS YOU REALLY WANT TO
CAPTURE
THOSE PEOPLE. OUR CHRIS QUE
STRATEGY HERE IS TO IDENTIFY
CASES SO THAT WE CAN GET THEM
TO ISOLATE AT HOME AND THAT
TRANSMISSION TO THE NEXT PERSON
OF THE VIRUS. THE CDC PUT
OUT AN INTERESTING ACTUALLY
FROM RIGHT HERE IN WISCONSIN
DOWN WHEN A
COUNTY. HE RECENTLY WHERE THEY
FOUND THAT ALTHOUGH THE YOUNGER
AGE GROUP OF THE
20 YEAR-OLD. PEOPLE MAKE UP
ONLY ABOUT 12.5% OF
THE POPULATION. THEY
REPRESENTED UP ABOUT UPWARDS OF
ABOUT 30% OF THE NUMBER OF
CASES OF COVID-19 AND THEY
ASKED THOSE PEOPLE WHY THEY
WERE NOT GOING PUBLIC HEALTH
THREAT THE NATION'S AND WHEN
THE MOST COMMON RESPONSES WAS
THAT THERE'S A LOT
OF IT FROM A MISINFORMATION OUT
THERE AND THEY DON'T REALLY
KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT INFORMATION
HAS TO FOLLOW.
>> HI THANK YOU AND I COULD
AGREE WITH THAT AS WE TRY TO
KEEP UP WITH THESE DAILY
UPDATES EVERY SINGLE DAY.
WE KNOW ON FRIDAY, THE NUMBER
OF NEW CASES IN THE U.S.
REACHED IT HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE
MID AUGUST WHICH WE ALREADY
KNOW
IS DISTURBING.
>> EXPERTS SAY WE'RE NOT IN THE
SECOND WAVE WE'RE STILL IN THE
FIRST, BUT THIS TREND IS AN
UPWARDS INDICATOR THAT WE'RE
ALMOST THERE WOULD YOU AGREE
DOCTOR.
>> I THINK HERE IN WISCONSIN,
THE GREEN BAY AREA IN APRIL AND
MAY WE HAD A FAIRLY
SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAK. IT WAS
MOSTLY ISOLATED OCCUPATIONAL
EXPOSURES AND WE THOUGHT THAT
WAS OUR BIG FIRST WAVE HERE.
BUT NOW THAT WE ARE
EXPERIENCING A SECOND
SIGNIFICANT WAYS IN THE ENTIRE
STATE
OF WISCONSIN. IT SEEMS THAT
MAYBE THAT FIRST WAVE REALLY
WASN'T EVEN AWARE OF IT ALL AND
THIS IS JUST A CONTINUATION OF
THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE
PEAK IS GOING TO AND YOU CAN
SEEM TO STILL BE ON AN UPWARD
CLIMB, SO IT'S HARD TO KNOW
THIS IS THIS GOING TO BE
IT'S GOING TO END THE LOAN FROM
HERE OR IF THE TRAJECTORY OF
UPWARD NUMBER OF CASES IS GOING
TO CONTINUE.
>> A LOT OF US WILL GET TO THIS
NEWS THIS MORNING THAT MONTANA
NEW MEXICO, NORTH CAROLINA
TENNESSEE VERMONT, ALL
REPORTING A
JUMP OF MORE THAN 50% IN ONE
WEEK THAT'S PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL
WHAT ARE THE STATES DOING IN
YOUR OPINION THAT'S CAUSING
THAT INCREASED DOCTOR
BURMEISTER.
>> IT'S REALLY YOU KNOW HARD TO
TRACK DOWN EXACTLY WHAT STATES
ARE DOING WHAT STATES ARE NOT
DOING THE CAUSE THE INCREASING
NUMBER
OF CASES. IT'S REALLY
CHALLENGING BECAUSE REALLY IT'S
A MULTI FACTOR. THE REASON THAT
WE SEE THE CASE NUMBERS
CONTINUE HERE IN WISCONSIN.
WE HAD KIDS
GOING BACK SCHOOL AND COLLEGE
CAMPUSES GOING BACK PROBABLY
HAD PETITE FROM QUARANTINE FROM
OTHERS AND ISOLATING AWAY
PEOPLE STOP WEARING MASKS WHAT
IS AGGRESSIVE. THEY WANT
ESPECIALLY AFTER A COURT IN
WISCONSIN WHICH SAYS THAT
WASN'T LEGAL. SO IT'S
PROBABLY A MULTIFACTORIAL
REASON WINTER IS COMING APART
AND MOVE INDOORS SCHOOLS ARE IN
SESSION, ALTHOUGH AROUND HERE
MANY OF THEM ARE CLOSE NOW.
BUT THERE'S A VARIETY OF
REASONS TO SEE THAT INCREASE IN
CASES.
>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
WISCONSIN. THERE ARE REPORTS
THAT SAY 80% OF HOSPITALS AND I
SEE USE ARE IN USE. WHAT ARE
YOU SEEING IN YOUR PRACTICE.
>> SO THANKFULLY, TODAY WE'VE
MOVED BACK DOWN TO THE ORANGE
STATUS.
WE HAVE THE GREEN YELLOW ORANGE
RED WE WERE ON THE RED STATUS
FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE LAST 2
WEEKS. OUR ICU FOR COVID
PATIENTS STILL IS SLIGHTLY OVER
CAPACITY. WE HAD A BIT
OF A TIME TO BRIEF HERE AND
CATCH UP WITH PATIENCE AS WE'RE
ABLE TO DISCHARGE FROM HOME.
YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN PRACTICING
THIS SINCE MARCH BUILD IN
REDUNDANCY INTO OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM SO THAT WE CAN COMMUTE
CONTINUE TO DELIVER EVERYONE
ARE BIG SAYING HAS BEEN
COEXIST WITH COVID WE WANT TO
CONTINUE TO DELIVER HEALTH CARE
TO ALMOST WHEN ASKED IN
SCREENING EXAMS. WELL CAME FOR
THE NUMBER OF
COVID-19 PATIENTS. BUT WE
REALLY REALLY NEED THE
COMMUNITY TO HELP AND REALLY
LISTEN TO THAT PUBLIC HEALTH
GUIDANCE THAT WE HAVE WE NEED
THEM TO WEAR THOSE MASKS MANY
PEOPLE THAT DISTANCE
WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN QUARANTINE
OR ISOLATION DUE ISOLATION OR
QUARANTINE DUE TO EXPOSURE.
WE REALLY NEED THEM TO FOLLOW
THE ENTIRE DURATION AND STAY
HOME AND NOT GO BACK TO EARTH.
>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
MISINFORMATION
OUT THERE EARLIER IN THE SHOW I
DO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT CLAIMS
THE VIRUS
IS DISAPPEARING. HE RECENTLY
TWEETED THAT HE IS IMMUNE FROM
THE CORONAVIRUS DOCTOR IF YOU
CAN SET THIS STRAIGHT IS THIS
TRUE CAN YOU BE IMMUNE FROM THE
CORONAVIRUS THAT'S THE TWEET
THAT WE WERE JUST MENTIONING.
>> YOU KNOW THIS IS A NOVEL
NOVEL MEANS THAT A REALLY BRAND
NEW TYPE OF CORONAVIRUS THAT WE
HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE AND WE
WILL MAYBE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE
YEAR TOO. STUDY IT AND SEE WHAT
THE LASTING IMPACT WILL BE ON
PEOPLE AT THE
SAME TIME MOST PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS HAVE
BEEN IN FACT IN THE LAST 2
MONTHS SO IT'S HARD TO KNOW
EXACTLY.
>> HOW LONG IMMUNITY OR HALL
AND YOU KNEW FOR A LONG BOUT
ALL LAUGH.
>> AFTER YOU ARE INFECTED WITH
COVID-19 SO CURRENTLY WE THINK
THAT PEOPLE PROBABLY HAVE SOME
DEGREE OF IMMUNITY TO THE FIRE.
UPWARDS OF PERHAPS
3 MONTHS. THE FACT THAT BUT
IT'S REALLY HARD TO SAY 6
MONTHS 9 MONTHS A YEAR,
WHAT SIR UNITY YOU HAVE JUST
BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD PEOPLE
WHO HAVE BEEN INFECTED THAT
LONG.
>> JUST TODAY, THE UK OUTLINED
A NEW 3 TIER SYSTEM OF
LOCKDOWNS TO CONTAIN THE SERGE
THERE. DO YOU THINK THAT
APPROACH WOULD BE EFFECTIVE.
>> YEAH I THINK WE HAVE GOOD
SCIENCE AND THEY'D ALREADY THAT
THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED IN
WISCONSIN. WE WAS ON THE BED OR
BONDS BUT THAT PLAN EARLIER
THIS SPRING. THE HEAD SEVERAL
METRICS AND DATA THAT WE'RE
FOLLOWING TO RUN THEY HELP YOU
KNOW OPENING DATES OR TURN A
DIAL UP GOING BACK
TOWARDS NORMAL. YOU KNOW OUR
GOAL ALL ALONG WAS TO TRY NOT
TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH TO THE
SCHOOL BACK IMMEDIATELY TO A
NORMAL THING BECAUSE WE KNEW
THAT THE VIRUS WOULD
HAVE LIKED CONTROLLED SPREAD
THAT YOU KNOW OUR GOAL IS
REALLY TO TRY TO TAMPER DOWN
THE VIRUS COULD SPREAD TO BE
VERY LOW. THE VIRAL SPREAD IS
VERY LOW THAT RESTORED AND ALSO
THE COMMUNITY OF FLOOR, YOU
KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE VERY HIGH
FIRE SPREAD YOUR RISK OF
GETTING COVID-19 NO
MATTER WHAT BUT PUBLIC HEALTH
INTERVENTIONS OR TRY IS REALLY
DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE CURRENTLY
IMPACTING
THEIR COMMUNITY. SO THAT 2
REPORTS PROBABLY YOU KNOW IT'S
ALMOST WITH CERTAINTY WHAT WORK
HERE THE CHALLENGING PART IS IS
THAT YOU DON'T YOU KNOW WE HAVE
A LEGAL SYSTEM HERE THAT WE
HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM INTO THE
UPPER OPERATIONAL
THAT PLAN WHICH WE'VE HAD A LOT
OF CHALLENGES OPERATIONAL ICING
SUMMER PLANS LIKE THAT EARLIER
THIS YEAR.
>> REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
