spent a few hours in a gym this weekend for an aau hoops tournament.  8 courts in 2 buildings.  players on lower level 10 spectators per team in the upper level.  Masks required inside temperature checks outside. players and coaches used separate doors.  did not feel much different than a normal aau tournament except they cleared out the gym between games

Still going on in Wisconsin.

Republicans in court to get restaurants at 100% capacity, as well as eliminating guidelines on cleaning procedures and social distancing in stores.

The first court ruled in their favor. Appeals judge overturned that until full court rules on it.

This is exactly the reason for massive outbreaks across the country. Is common sense dead?

Is common sense dead?

There are many indications that it is.

Gov. Tony Evers signaled Tuesday he might try to require Wisconsin residents to wear face masks to address a new surge of coronavirus cases — after previously taking the position he didn't have the authority to do so.

Evers, who wore a face mask during a briefing with reporters, said he's considering a mask mandate but said it's unclear whether it would stick after a state Supreme Court ruling in May that tossed out much of his stay-at-home order and put his authority to issue statewide orders in question.

He has the power for an emergency order up to 30 days no? Wait til Friday and throw the switch.

So if a mask order was in place would that mean any indoor sport the players would need to wear a mask?  Thinking basketball or volleyball?

Can't speak for Wisconsin, but Illinois' mask order allows you to remove the mask while exercising or playing sports.

"Wisconsin Republicans won just 46% of vote in 2018 but gained 64% seats in assembly & used their ill-gotten power through gerrymandering & voter suppression to strip power from Dem gov & AG in lame duck coup"

What the WI GOP is doing is objectively ethically reprehensible, but Evers is just the worst spokesperson for this moment - he'll gently complain all of it in his very bland style and the GOP will continue walking all over him. His best qualification is he's Not Scott Walker. Someone should primary him.

sounds like Biden - He is not Trump

[mu_hilltopper]

Indeed .. I have and will keep voting for Evers, but .. he's not been impressive. 

I would prefer no primary .. but that he just decides not to run for a 2nd term.

And I'm reasonably certain that he will not run a second time if he wins.  And may not even finish out his first term.

Agreed.

I wonder what GOP figures will be lining up to run for governor.

Wonder if Paul Ryan has interest. Though I doubt it

Wasn't he desperately trying to be the diplomat to his "homeland" boy hell be disappointed to learn it's no longer the Catholic, Uber conservative third world country his great great great great great great grandfather left.

[Warriors4ever]

Who would you like to see run, if he steps back?

[Hards Alumni]

Wonder if Paul Ryan has interest. Though I doubt it

He was on track to potentially lose his home district.  His odds of running for governor hover just above zero.
