Doctors and health experts are no longer asking people to stay home for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are begging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across Wisconsin, overflowing hospitals and spiking case rates are causing panic among health care workers and public health officials who are sounding the alarm that the state is about to enter the most dangerous period of the pandemic yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing and confluence with what\u2019s happening in Wisconsin, I don\u2019t think could be worse,\u201d said Amanda Simanek, epidemiologist with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
