Mark Schultz has been hit on both sides of this pandemic.
For six months it was his Oshkosh bar and restaurant, both of which are closed for now after being hammered under state coronavirus restrictions.
Now it is Schultz himself, infected with COVID-19, lying in a hospital intensive care unit, laboring to breathe, unsure of when or whether he'll go home.
"I dont worry much about me, but I got a 10-year-old son and my fiancée thats all I care about," he said through tears. "My family is all at home. They are all worried about me. I dont want them to worry about me."
As he spoke by phone, he struggled with short breaths and was interrupted at times by fits of coughs.
"I dont want them to go through this," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I hope I get to go home."

(7,637 posts)he says he does not get into politics yet he hosted an event for don jr. He suppositely supports the governor's calls for masking, social distancing but yet oppose having to run his bar at only 25 % capacity because its affecting his business.

(40,219 posts)whose founder was his friend and there was an interview with Don Jr. It doesnt say he hosted an event for Don Jr.
I didnt get from this article that this guy acted recklessly.

(7,637 posts)Im sure he was told Don Jr was the guest. Likewise saying he cares ( now that he is sick) about safety measures and yet oppose the reduced capacity for bars because its affecting his bottom line.

(3,398 posts)& then remember why this happened to you.
It wasn't the Democrats that caused this tragedy. If not, then who could have been responsible?
In all sincerity, I hope you get better for your sake, your fiancees sake, & your sons sake.
