Protesting starts this weekend in WI. People are fed up. Its bullshit all the big chain stores can remain open with no social distancing while small places, bars, restaurants, hair salons, etc... are worried if they'll be able to reopen at all.

No social distancing at the big chain stores there?

Here they have a sign about how many people are allowed in according to fire capacity and allow in 50% of that with 2 people at the door with hand counters. And they have to sell food to be open. And you have to wear a mask. Anything food related, car service and Drs are open but Drs are phone only first.

I don't know how one would wear a mask at a bar or restaurant. They're still open for takeout though.
I kind of suspect if they did open not many people would go in there right now.

Especially now that it's beginning to hit more rural areas. A meat packing plant in the sticks just shut down for a while after an outbreak and 2 local McDonald's shut down for a day after positive tests.
And we're talking about towns with populations of 3-5000ish.

I have a buddy with season tickets for Steeler games, he said I could have the 1st 6 weeks when they come. If they even play. I passed. I doubt they even play this year. One player gets sick and then what? Nobody plays for 14 days? How would that even work?

Maybe things will change in June or July. I'm not holding my breath.

We don't have any requirements for ppe. You can walk into Walmart here at anytime and there's at least 500 people inside tripping over stockers and maybe a quarter are wearing masks/gloves. Zero reported cases in the county. Hospital is completely empty.

I posted recently about my father. He has dementia and lives at a nursing home where a resident and staff had tested positive. On Monday my father got abnormally weak and had a fall hitting his head. He went to hospital and they treated and tested him for Covid. They revealed that his roommate had tested positive a few days earlier. Well, today the results came back and he is NEGATIVE at this point. He was recently exposed so that could change...but it is the best news we could have received under the circumstances.

Everybody hang in there. Thank you to all of you that are doing brave work out there...nurses, doctors, nursing home staff, police, cashiers, people just social distancing, sooooo many people.

Governments, politics, gender, nationality, paper towel germinators, soil, hydro, etc. We all have something in common now.

How is Milwaukee doing? And the other cities?

I must be in a bad place, Pittsburgh is only 25 minutes away on a main highway artery. I think it has come up from there now.

Milwaukee and Madison are the only places with high concentrations. Idiots from Illinois brought it up when they came to their cabins after their lockdown but its been pretty contained otherwise.

After anonymous tip, 17 bodies found at nursing home hit by virus

The call for body bags came late Saturday.
By Monday, the police in a small New Jersey town had gotten an anonymous tip about a body being stored in a shed outside one of the state’s largest nursing homes.
When police arrived, the corpse had been removed from the shed, but they discovered 17 bodies piled inside the nursing home in a small morgue, intended to hold no more than four people.
