Taylor County (pop. 19,913) has reported a consistently high number of new Covid cases for the past 4 months.
What worse is that Taylor County is the least vaccinated county in Wisconsin. Just 33% of residents are fully vaccinated compared to 61% statewide
It is also one of the Trumpiest counties in Wisconsin.
So naturally, the hospital in the county seat of Medford is in crisis mode.

Amanda Keeling, a nurse who grew up in Medford and moved back after going to school in Oshkosh and working in Green Bay, said some friends and family don’t believe her when she says the steady stream of COVID-19 patients is wearing her and other nurses out. There’s little interest in discussing how more vaccination could make the situation more manageable, she said.
“Last year, we were heroes,” Keeling said. “This year, people don’t want to hear us talk about it ... I don’t think people want to be told what to do.”
