And you sir I hope you never leave your county. Typical democrat wants to control every ones freedom!!

On a personal level this virus hasn't had any impact on me. I'm working as normal I fished like normal in March, well maybe not normal, more as I didn't have the usual March meetings.

One thing this has done is entrench my resolve to support very few local businesses around Lake of the Woods. It seems many don't want me there although I don't live that far away, yet they have no problem taking my tax money that I pay on the cabin. I pay more in school taxes in Baudette school district than I do for the one my kids go to school for and the Baudette school is ten times nicer than ours. I pay taxes on two parcels for the landfill that I'll likely use once in my life. Thank you non residents of Lake of the Woods county, ,we love your taxes just don't come here.

Been out golfing 6 times in the last 2+ weeks. Granted it was the owner, and a few friends. Golf is very relaxing when you are the only foursome on the course. Two of the guys have turkey tags for the first week so along with the clubs there were a couple shotguns in tow as well.

I have heard MN people been leaving the state by the 1000's going to other states fishing and doing other outdoor activities while their state had the lock down. I can witness some that have done that but don't get flooded with them this time of year any way.

Not sure much changed for many with the lock down and most states that had it just left and went to neighboring states the way it sounds.

I have a question does your governor allowing out of state people into MN to do those same activities???? At one time hearing from people I know in MN he didn't want any out of state people coming to MN even if they owned property and to do business.

Yes.

Some of the locals...not so much.

I had an email from Wyoming Fish and Game a week or so ago saying they were suspending sales of non resident fishing licenses to prohibit people from coming there to fish. I wonder if any other states will do the same thing?

Was business as usual yesterday around here. Drove past Fleet Farm. The last time I saw the parking lot that full it was just before Christmas. Wally World's parking lot the same. People at the parks hugging each other.

Sounds like Florida opened their beaches and it was nuts to butts. What was reported anyhow. Guess time will tell.

The weekend Turkey season opener sure had the people out. Saw many people up for the twin cities area at deer camps everywhere . State land had trucks at all the pull overs.
Wait until the fishing opener not only all of the cityits but all the surrounding states will be here in droves.

Well move...49 other States to choose from

That's the way I took it.
Walz has aligned himself with governors who seem pretty firm about keeping people in their homes. With the exception of golf, these other things were never restricted.
He has been getting a lot of pressure to open things up with demonstrations and marches to the capitol.

Nope,

I like New York just fine.

Have not found a State I like better,
and that includes Alaska.

At 61,

I'm not looking to start over anywhere else.

I'll wait for Cuomo to die, or get voted out of Office.

Upstate New York ROCKS !!!

Tioga co. down here really did scare the bejesus outta ya didn't it.

There is about a week and a half left of the current isolation stage. So, today he has a huge press conference and announces he has teamed up with the U of M and Mayo Clinic to develop some world class testing.

It sounds to me like he is thinking months and months into the future and not on a May 4 release date.

I tried to research the legality of the Governors edict and I can't find much.

Yes I listened to that press conference as well, preping us to be in this for the long haul. Interesting that one of his experts stated that this is just getting rolling with only 5% of the population currently exposed. How would he know that if we are just developing the plan for agressive testing?

We will have to see what comes out of this. I think "hold on to your shorts are in order" this virus is not even close to being under control here in MN.

So,.if i'm reading this right in the media,.testing for affirmation for this is meaningless. I could test negative and stroll down the road and pick it up at the grocer or gas station.
It would seem more important that a test that would determine if you have already contracted it and are therefore immune built would be be more prudent in deciding which direction to take.

That is one of the routes they have been looking at and talking about. Happy trapping! ScottW
