I suspect we will see some new flare ups in Wisconsin in the coming days. Bunch of ****ing idiots. Don’t they know it’s cheaper to drink at home?
Everyone (myself included) said the same thing after they decided to hold the election last month, cramming the city of Milwaukee into 5 voting precincts and...nothing. No spike at all.
Wi. has 72 counties. The four biggest counties in Wi. account for 65% of cases:
Milwaukee County - 4,387 cases - .5% of county population
Dane County (home of UW-Madison and a lot of rich liberals) - 494 cases - .1% of population
Waukesha County (home to nothing special and a lot of rich conservatives who like to tear up local lakes with their Sea-Doo's) - 444 cases - .1% of population
Brown County (Green Bay- GB Packers and *crickets*) - 1,999 cases - .8% of population (meat packing plant got hammered - lots of people in a confined space, sound familiar?)
Total case confirmed in state to date- 11,275. 434 deaths. Daily testing capacity - 13,382 @ 52 labs https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/data.htm
A lot of nothing going in half the state. Why should a barber/bar owner/restaurant in the far northern part of the state, where there are very few cases, have their business go under because a city 300 miles away has an issue? Ain't like Milwaukeeans or Brownies are commuting to Minocqua in large numbers. Testing capabilities look good. Counties can still do safer at home if they choose. People are still wearing masks and keeping their distance where prudent. Milwaukee is not allowing bars or restaurants to open but hair salons can open if they wish and thank God for that because I'm starting to look like a bass player for a Boston or Grand Funk Railroad cover band. Brown and Dane will probably stay locked down for awhile but Waukesha is getting (b)itchy and my guess is most of that county will reopen asap.
