It begins tomorrow
quote:

On Wednesday night in the heart of downtown Platteville, Wis., just hours after the Wisconsin Supreme Court threw out the state’s stay-at-home order, Nick’s on 2nd was packed wall to wall, standing room only.

quote:

It was sometime after 10 p.m. when “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress” by the Hollies came over the sound system and a bartender took out his camera. In a Twitter broadcast, he surveyed the room of maskless patrons crammed together, partying like it was 2019. A few were pounding on the bar to the beat. Some were clapping their hands in the air and some were fist-pumping, a scene so joyous they could have been celebrating the end of the worst pandemic in a century. Instead, as Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) knew, they were just celebrating the apparent end of his power over them — at least for now.

I'm surprised even a coronavirus lockdown was able to close Wisconsin bars. Those are purebred professional drinkers in that state.

Here comes the 2nd wave of pregnancies. With all the drunks now able to pick up their wisconsin cow, WI population will increase heavily in December (stay at home order) and again in February (bars reopening).

Being quarantined anywhere has to suck.Not sure why it is different here.

Wisconsin is just like many places. People out taking walks and going to state parks, fishing, etc.

Being quarantined in an urban area with no personal car to travel with? That would really suck.
