I don't think anyone posted this yet but I just had it pop up on my email from the Telegraph Herald. Evers has put a shelter in place order through May 26th. The resorts and small businesses are getting kicked in the crotch on this one. This is not a good way to start off the summer in a state that is highly tourism driven. Memorial Day Weekend is gone before it started. As of right now there's 3 cases in my county. (Crawford) My home county (Grant) has 8.

Iowa's governor also popped the northeast corner right across from me with a stronger shelter in place order today as well through April 30th. The press release on that said no leisure activities so no campgrounds and recreation I assume. Travel is supposed to be for essential errands or traveling to work at an essential job.

yup , they closed all DNR managed boat ramps on the lower Wisconsin today also I saw.

Vilas County has 4 cases. Oneida County has 6 cases. This will devastate these 2 counties which rely heavily on tourism. It's apparent that Evers wants to inflict as much damage to the economy of northern WI as possible.

the people who tourist come from the places with the most covid they would just be bringing it to you.

if we could close state borders to all non residents and keep everyone in SE WI , dane , rock , brown , Washington and fondulac counties at home maybe but then were would the tourists come from?other tourist destination?

as much as I am not an Evers fan I don't think crippling the tourist economy is his goal.

I have family who's whole income is tourism. they live year round on summer income. I don't know what they are going to do.

Door county is already seeing full July food consumption at the Grocery store in Sister bay. it wouldn't surprise me if the cases they do have came in with the ILL cabin and condo owners

I still fail to see why sportsmen can't go fishing or boating. This isn't a communist country. (YET). We seem to be headed there at a rapid pace. So if they closed the boat ramps are they going to close the public lands for turkey hunting. What's the difference?

So much for Evers being remotely decent for sportsmen, gun owners or anyone believing in personal freedom. How can anyone that believes in any of those rights vote for a Democrat?

GCP I fully respect your view but I disagree with you. The agenda being pushed is to cripple the economy at any cost. I just hope it backfires on the Democrats.

I'm fine with it.


We're not locked in our homes. Life has slowed down. When this first started making news in February I figured it would be a more sever lock down and go till the Tuesday after memorial day.

I haven't been to a boat ramp so I really dont know. But how do they "close" a ramp? Are they putting barriers up?

Any one that thinks virus is going to be gone at the end of May or any other month is kidding them selves. When or if they open up the economy cases will rise again. In the mean time the U.S., the States, counties, and cities will all be broke as well as many 10s of 1000s of businesses.

I heard he was possibly opening golf courses and easing up on other restriction too during the extended period. Schools got shut down for the rest of the year as well.

Darn...no more free golf then. The links by my place we've just been walking on.

He's letting golf courses open up but no pro shops or clubhouses. If you get your lawn care done it's supposed to be by one person not a crew I guess. Not sure how that's going to work on commercial jobs and landscaping projects. That's crippling that type of business as well.

Breaking everyone may be part of their plan. I think it is so the government can "help" everybody. Sadly many would walk out of their houses and climb in the back of a truck in an orderly fashion and go for a ride to a concentration camp. Remember when Bernie's campaign guy said conservatives needed re-educated?? Here's their chance.

That's what ya get for voting for a stipid Dem!

No, Evers cheated. He put marijuana on the ballot in 5 strategic counties. Milwaukee which has a huge impact on voting and you know they want their weed. Madison, also a huge impact on the vote, full of liberal hippies that want to smoke it up. That's one issues with large populated areas having an impact on who wins. Walker won most of the state, and still loses.

The shut down idea is a debatable plan.

Some say, and our government insists that it slows or stops the spread if you can't get close enough to someone to transmit it. TRUE!

The problem is spread or not, the virus will not go away. We can't stay isolated forever. Sooner or later we will need to face our foe. I'd rather do it now. We now have plenty of resources to treat the virus, and almost no PPE, ie: masks, gloves, and sanitizer to prevent it.

This is the time to re-open our world.

I haven't heard of any resource that's available to treat the virus.

I thought the idea was to slow the spread to buy time. Time for science, time for healthcare. I would trust the experts on this one. And Trump ain’t no expert.

The idea was to crash the economy and get rid of Trump. The entire thing is blown way out of wack. The reason everyone is scare is the media told them to be.

Ok

There are no such thing as an expert on this virus. Know one really seems to know anything. It is buying time for them to not tell us there is no cure for this or any other corona virus. The insane have taken over the asylum up there. LLL

I wonder who orchestrated this pandemic conspiracy? I thought it was worldwide?


God?
