(WRN, Bill Wise) University of Wisconsin System Tommy Thompson says its pandemic response played a critical role in slowing spread of the coronavirus.

Thompson released an Op-Ed piece Wednesday.  As of last week, nearly one-and-a-quarter-million COVID-19 tests had been administered at U-W System testing sites.

Thompson points out that at the height of the pandemic last fall, Wisconsin was the only state that was offering a community testing program allowing thousands of people to get tested for free at its universities.
