I suspect case counts etc. to be doctored, WI don't know, not saying specifically by them. But ultimately if there is mass death, you can't really hide that, people know. Or maybe I am wrong, and my last faith in humanity gone. Anyway there is an element of luck to it all, and who gets hit hard, but having no plan does tend to tempt fate, can't keep rolling "tails" forever.
The problem with WI is it is heavily gerrymandered, so the majority can vote Dem and R's have power.

Why? It is the same state and the same political mechanism that was fine with making people wait outside for hours in early April to vote in a primary which could have been conducted by mail (or at least without a curiously restricted set of open polling places in Milwaukee).Originally Posted by Teacher Terry

Steve, I was shocked by that also. Between all the political nonsense and high property taxes I would never move back.
My town's library will start curbside pickup of materials June 2nd.
I wish mine would let us bring the books back and start cleaning them so that when they reopen, things will be orderly again.
After the Wisconsin Supreme Court issued the injunction, some county health officers used their statutory authority to impose the same restrictions that had been imposed by the Secretary of DHS (which the court ruled she did not have authority to do). The counties that have ordered the continuation of restrictions (to date) include: Milwaukee, Brown, Kenosha, Dane, Rock and Outagamie.
Other counties are considering what action to take after the court ruling, and yet other counties appear to be allowing what Gov Evers has called "chaos".
During the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918-1919, various Wisconsin local and county health officials quarantined people (there was no cure for influenza at the time) strictly, and there was no legal challenge that I know of.

My sister said she saw the news last night and it showed bars that were packed.
Showed on news ... in Platteville, WI. People were shoulder to shoulder with no masks. Not good.
Wonder how many bars that media cameramen had to go to define shoulder to shoulder patrons. ...just idle wonder...
That's what I saw in places on the island last weekend, and expect worse this weekend, and we aren't even "open".
