‘White lung syndrome’ outbreak, Wisconsin doctor explains risk
‘White lung syndrome’ outbreak concerns
An outbreak of pediatric pneumonia, sometimes known as “white lung syndrome,” is sweeping across Ohio, causing concern in Wisconsin.
MILWAUKEE – An outbreak of pediatric pneumonia – sometimes known as “white lung syndrome” – is sweeping across Ohio, causing concern that Wisconsin cases could arise.
“We understand where everyone is coming from. We’re all tired of this,” said Dr. Jim Conway, a UW Health pediatric physician.
Conway said white lung syndrome is a respiratory illness with symptoms ranging from fever and cough to shortness of breath. It mostly affects children, but he said that does not mean high-risk groups are in the clear.

“This – COVID, flu, RSV – by themselves, they can certainly trash a lung and do some damage, especially in high-risk populations,” said Conway. “Cold and flu season is respiratory illness season.”
The doctor said this is not necessarily anything new.
The Ohio outbreak also doesn’t show a direct link to similar cases in China and Europe. Instead, Conway said it’s just a spike in the number of pneumonia cases during this time of the year.
“We don’t have any particular clusters or outbreaks or anything like that, but this is something that happens every year,” Conway said.

So, does that warrant a reason to worry? Conway said the answer is “yes and no.” More so, it’s a warning for people to remain cautious and understand it may just be a new way of life.
“Adapt a lifestyle of just being cautious during cold and flu season, by making sure you’re up to date with your vaccines,” Conway said.

Wisconsin football alums disgusted with ‘sad state of affairs’ of Badgers program after loss to Minnesota
Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell struggling to understand team’s inconsistency
The Badgers football coach met with reporters following a 44-25 loss to Nebraska at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Wisconsin football’s season is sunk.
And it’s a program that’s facing uncharted waters after Friday’s dreadful showing in its 24-7 loss to Minnesota in the regular-season finale.
No bowl game. A losing season. Questions about the coaching staff. Questions about the roster.
The season has actually been sinking for some time, but the Badgers still had a chance to salvage whatever was left of it with a win over Minnesota.
It was a rivalry game. It was at home. And it was for a chance to play in a bowl game, something that every Wisconsin team has played in for the last 22 years.
Instead, the Badgers lost for the fifth straight time behind an offense that is no longer recognizable to players from the past. Wisconsin also suffered its third consecutive defeat at Camp Randall Stadium and fourth this season.
Former Wisconsin football players have been following the season closely and speaking out in disgust on social media as the losses have piled up. Like the fans at Camp Randall Stadium on Friday, they again let their feelings be known about the direction of the program as Wisconsin finished the 2024 season 5-7.
Here’s a sample of the reactions from the likes of Brian Calhoun, Braelon Allen, Sojourn Shelton and others:

Menomonie, Wis. — A murky day for turkey day. In this part of western Wisconsin, “murky” is an understatement.
A narrow band of snow quickly dropped three inches on drivers — even sending a semi sliding into a ditch.
The National Weather Service says it’s likely because of a glass manufacturing company near Menomonie.
“That steam rises into the deck of clouds that are above it, and the steam acts as little particles that the water droplets can latch onto and create snow crystals” said Meteorologist Caleb Grunzke of the National Weather Service. “Everything came together perfectly for several inches of snow and major traffic problems.”
The Wisconsin State Patrol reported 16 crashes in a 5 hour span, including a six-car pile-up.
“We kind of drove in and out of the snow very dramatically” said Dave Erickson, who was making the trip back to the Twin Cities from Milwaukee.
“Drive safe, happy Thanksgiving” Erickson added.
