Dr. Paul Casey, emergency department medical director at Bellin Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin, told CNBC that his state was in "crisis mode" as one in three Badger State residents has the coronavirus. "All hospitals across the state are either at or nearing capacity," Casey told "The News with Shepard Smith." According to the Wisconsin Department of Health, there are 293,388 confirmed cases in the state with 43,001 cases in just the past seven days. A record number of Americans — 143,000 — tested positive on Wednesday with the coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

cnbc.comCasey rides the buzz of Masters history to 65 and early lead in rain-delayed first round
Paul Casey matched his lowest score at the Masters with a 7-under 65, giving him a two-shot lead among half the field fortunate to play in perfect scoring conditions. It was the fifth hole, which he bogeyed all four rounds last year when he won the Masters. He was joined by Xander Schauffele, a runner-up to Woods last year, who had seven birdies in his round of 67.

A hospital in northeast Wisconsin is considering pausing elective procedures as health officials grapple with rising coronavirus cases and a double-digit positivity rate. "We are on the verge of a crisis in Green Bay and our surrounding counties," Casey said in an appearance on "The News with Shepard Smith." The Midwest state set a fresh one-day record of 3,132 new Covid-19 cases, topping the previous record that came just days prior, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. More than 80% of Wisconsin's hospital and intensive care unit capacities are in use, according to the state's health department website. The rise in cases can be attributed to "Covid fatigue," people who refuse to wear masks and small gatherings, he said.
