Be grateful Evers is in charge.

Republican lawmakers plan to take up legislation to respond to health and unemployment needs of Wisconsin residents during the coronavirus outbreak in a couple of weeks, but Gov. Tony Evers says that could be too long to wait and he may move forward on his own on some measures.

No rush Reps. just cuz people are dyin'.

The entire relationship between the two is just beyond toxic (in no small part because it's gerrymandered to hell). Evers trying to get them to pass a comprehensive including ventilators, then Rs complaining he already has that authority and should stop delaying. You can excuse him for being confused after they removed powers from him just because they lost an election...

I’ve got mixed feelings about this story. If she were my daughter, I would be glad to have her out of harms way. But if she were my daughter I would be not happy that she is broadcasting her activities to the whole world. And her relatives moving to their place in Door County to accommodate her potentially strains healthcare in Sturgeon Bay. Plus she better be careful in those gas station rest rooms.

My mom is a full-time resident of Sturgeon Bay. She's in her 60s and diabetic. There is one hospital in all of Door County.

People need to stay in place. Not go to touristy areas without healthcare infrastructure.

This is selfish.

Wisconsin is going to see its peak soon. The hospitals are prepared however. Lots of ppe and been diverting healthcare employees from all over. Tons of new faces each week.

Late April. About a week after Illinois peaks.

Define close. Our projected peak right now is in about 18 days. I think that's pretty close.

Projected peak for Wisconsin.. was mid-May, now April 26.

I read an article that said that peak will likely move up about a week. I'll try to find it.

Even if it's April 26th, that means we could slowly start re-opening businesses about 5/11 after two weeks of decreased cases. I'd sign up for that.

I was in a discussion with someone affiliated with a major US hospital and said that we shouldn’t get overly obsessed with projected peaks. The models are super sensitive right now due to multiple assumptions. As such peak moves dramatically every day.

Wrong. The "peak" was on Feb 28 when we had 15 cases - soon to be zero.

Seriously, we / they have no clue when the peak will be simply because there still is no wide-scale testing. It's hard to make predictions based on data that we don't have.

Thanks for that opinion. I'll go off the medical practices were preparing for. Stockpiling and getting new staff orientated for April 17th.

How about we total up the mail in ballots, see who is winning, then decide whether to postpone or not?

As an aside .. my village is up to 65% mail-in requested. April '19 turnout was 42%, although April '16 it was 72%.

Plus mail in voting ensures tractability.

Early voting at Zeilder on Broadway in Milwaukee was jammed packed today. Not great.
