How to achieve social distancing at Wisconsin bars - a humble suggestion.

MSNBC ran a piece earlier today. They were interviewing patrons at a bar. One was a nurse celebrating her ability to decompress after a stressful day at work. Employers might want to screen her frequently for her COVID-19 status, before she infects patients. She might also have an alcohol problem as well.

A second patron, apparently feeling a little inebriated, said he drove to the bar and parked in the parking lot.

My suggestion is to place some police units outside the bars, looking for potential drunk drivers. It might clear out the bars fairly quickly. Can’t arrest them for social distancing, but you can for drunk driving.

If they don’t care for their safety from COVID-19, I seriously doubt these bar customers would think about having a designated driver.

They were interviewing a hog farmer on MSNBC recently ...

... he said that due to the current economic situation, he is being “forced” to “euthanize” some of the hogs. What were his alternatives? Butcher them for meat? Much more humane!
