Seeing that people in Wisconsin in these times, aren't doing

[raccoon]

Any social distancing and all that, I’d like to propose a similar way to deal with hurricanes.

If a hurricane is coming your way, just go about your regular routine. Don’t go buy batteries, food, etc.
don’t board up your windows. And certainly, don’t evacuate. You‘ll be perfectly safe where you are. The media are just exaggerating the strength of the storm.

of course.

Reality is that which, when you ignore it, doesn’t go away.

[Newest Reality]

1. Everybody has beliefs, but...

"Belief means not wanting to know what is true.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

We are at a point where that is a prevailing issue concerning our collective well being. It is an issue of the health integrity of our consensus reality and alternative realities, (personal and group) are now more than just oddities on the sideline, they are pouring poison in the well.

[leftieNanner]

2. And certainly don't look to the "blue" states

To help pay for any damage!

Thanks Rick Scott!

[Javaman]

3. Even better since it's WI

A blizzard is coming? No need for the jackets, gloves, scarves or hats, just freeze to death! that’ll teach it that blizzard a thing or two!

[marybourg]

4. Is that a door buzzard by any chance?

[Javaman]

7. Thanks. I hate autocorrect.

I’d rather have it spelt wrong instead of it being corrected

[marybourg]

8. Turn it off. But in this case it was special for DU'ers who remember

the door buzzard thread.

[Harker]

24. Classic stuff. n/t

5. Several counties in WI (mostly blue and a few purple) have adopted Evers order.

Several municipalities have as well. I live in a red county and some businesses are sticking with the Evers plan. I will not go to a business that chooses to do anything different. Most dems are staying out of the bars, wearing masks and waiting to get our hair done.

We are also making headway in replacing the Walker Supreme Court. We had the guts to vote in April and beat the conservative justice by 11%. Too bad she had not been sworn in for Tuesday’s ruling. One of the conservative justice wrote the dissent - that totally amazed me.

These are some counties that are closed (but there are some additional ones that have not been added:

6. OK, lets not tar everyone who lives in WI with the same brush.

Plenty of us are taking precautions.

[LiberalFighter]

10. I totally agree.

My perception as I stated in another post regarding people showing up at taverns. It has been my experience that many that patronize those establishments are not going to pay attention to what is best for them to do. They have either not grown up yet or will not grow up.

[milestogo]

14. Or they mistake a political act for something else.

This was clearly a partisan decision against a democratic governor. Saying he "overreached his power" should not mean that the recommendations went too far, but highly partisan people will take it that way.

[raccoon]

19. As an SC resident, I know just how you feel in that respect. Nt

9. I say, give these reckless dumb asses a special photo ID card.

To get the card, all they have to do is show their driver's license, which will be photocopied and entered into a database that all hospitals in the country can access. Tell them that this card allows them to go wherever they want and not have to wear a mask. They'll love it!

Then, when they contract coronavirus and go to the hospital for treatment, the hospital will be able to run their driver's license through the database to see if they have been issued the "I-Don't-Care-If-I-Do-Get-the-Virus" ID card. If so, the hospital should turn them away and tell them to go die at home.

I know this is harsh, but their actions prove overwhelmingly the saying, "You can't fix stupid."

12. It would be difficult now that the Supreme Court is allowing it. I saw that the YMCA is

opening on the 24th for normal service. The bowling alley opened yesterday near our village. Now, those are a few places I won’t be going to.

[LaMouffette]

20. My gym opened up and my hair salon has been calling to get me to come back in,

but I'm not going back to either place for the next six months, maybe for a whole year, no matter how flabby and unkempt I get!

[CaptYossarian]

22. Let's use the same principle as health insurance.

If you don't do as your doctor says, you're non-compliant and have no coverage.

Freedom isn't free.

[luv2fly]

28. You're right, it is harsh even though I understand the sentiment

I'm curious if the same logic applies to people that drive over the speed limit and get in an accident and end up at the hospital. The list of similar infractions goes on and on, and I'm guessing we're all guilty of more than a few. I don't want to wish poorly on anyone, I just hope that they see the light.

[LuvNewcastle]

11. Hurricanes are hoaxes sent by Democrats

to make Trump look bad. If we have a hurricane this year, I'm going down to the courthouse with all the guns and knives I can find. I'm not going to accept any kind of weather tyranny!

13. Most rural and northern counties are fully opened. They are dependent upon travel from Illinois and

southern WI. The communities will be horribly impacted in the northern part of the state. But, by God they can get their nails done and drink a beer.

[milestogo]

15. Most of them have few people and few cases.

But that doesn't mean they are safe.

[33taw]

17. They are not safe. My point is that it is a very partisan divide as to who is not under a SAH policy

The bar shown on CNN on Tuesday was closed by policy on Wednesday.

[CaptYossarian]

23. Two nearby counties, Clark and Marathon, are almost tied--

as far as number of cases. They also border each other.

Marathon County has 100,000 more people in it.

Clark County is full of rednecks and is most likely out of bleach now. They voted against getting 9-1-1 service 30 years ago because it would have raised their phone bill 29 cents per month. The gubbamint had to force it on them.

It isn't the sparseness of the population. It's the quality of the people who make up that population.

[forthemiddle]

16. I am in Wisconsin right now

And the places on the news are being highlighted because they are not the norm.

The very few restaurants that are open are doing it responsibly, with social distancing and staff wearing PPE. And they are not swamped with customers. Most places are saying they aren’t opening for dine in service for a week or more.

This is a very small town , with only a few cases, and no deaths, but they are still taking it slow.

The news media will always highlight the abnormal behavior, for the shock value.
Remember “Man Bites Dog” will always be a lead story.

[raccoon]

18. Thanks for the on-site update. Nt

[IronLionZion]

21. It seems slightly Darwinian

where certain types of people are choosing to catch and spread this virus. So those types would be disproportionately impacted if they associate with like-minded people.

The sensible folks with the ability to stay home would be relatively safer.

Of course the tragedy are essential workers, family members, and other folks who would catch it from Covidiots without making this choice.

[Nasruddin]

25. If a hurricane

> If a hurricane is coming your way, just go about your regular routine...
Someday, it'll just go away

[Ford_Prefect]

26. It doesn't help that the MSM seems to present much of it as a contest between Trump

and anyone with a meaningful fact-based opinion. Either you believe Trump and doubt every warning, or you're a liberal who's afraid. The MSM hasn't decided to value the truth but to ask who you believe?

Fucking Click bait media.

[luv2fly]

27. Stupid knows no boundaries

I moved to Wisconsin 30 years ago this month and there's a lot of great people here doing the right thing, we just don't make the news because we're staying inside. I'm sure the stupidity you reference is happening in other states too... stupid doesn't respect state lines.
