Senator focuses on bright spots in COVID-19 response

Acknowledging a spike in cases and deaths in Wisconsin over the last month, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson says there are some positives to take away from the country’s response to COVID-19. Speaking to DoorCountyDailyNews.com last week, the Republican senator from Oshkosh explained his comments about how the state was able to flatten the curve when it came to the state’s death rate from COVID-19, which is currently hovering at 39 per 100,000 residents. He credits local hospitals being able to be more effective in treating it.

Johnson also applauded the efforts of the Trump Administration to fast-track vaccines through Operation Warp Speed.

Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 in early October but says he had no symptoms or negative impact from it. He would like to see the sick isolated and the vulnerable protected while others should be able to continue with their lives as safely as possible.
