Gov. Tony Evers to order Wisconsinites to stay at home, will close non-essential businesses
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ^ | March 23, 2020 | Patrick Marley and Molly Beck

Gov. Tony Evers on Monday said he is preparing to order Wisconsinites to stay in their homes starting this week to fend off the coronavirus outbreak that is ravaging populations worldwide.

The governor's order will require nearly all workers in the state to work remotely or lose their jobs by closing all workplaces that aren't deemed essential. Restaurants and bars may stay open but only for delivery and curbside pick-up orders.

The Democratic governor made the announcement on Twitter just three days after saying he did not think he would have to issue such an order but that he would do what is scientifically necessary.

On Monday, Evers' spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff said the governor changed course because of a "rapidly evolving" spread of the coronavirus, which has claimed four lives in Wisconsin and infected at least 400 people in the state.

The POTUS can say “no nationwide lockdown” and look like the good cop while the Governors become the bad cops.

Brilliantly played.

One by one the rat Governors are doing this the DNC orders went out and they are staggering them for maximum impact. Of course every announcement is laced with attacks on the President all by design. The push is on now. They see the approval numbers so it’s time for action

I get a lot of product from a manufacturer in Wisconsin.
The sales rep told me an hour ago that they were still rolling. I guess this changes that.

Being in the construction business and being unable to buy specified products will put projects way out of whack.

It is going to get ugly.

The World Health Organization put the death rate at a seriously false inflated rate, tanking the world economy, and yet we have Freepers still hyping the feat saying this will get worse (the death rate will go back up) when they don’t know this as there it dropped from 4.06% to 1.2% in less than a month.

It may go up and it may not, we don’t know, but they know all. But all we have with knowable certainty are the stats we have right now as they WHO seems incompetent, yet they seem to trust them.

“”””’My local Plumbing supply is call in orders only and leaving them on the loading dock for pickup with no contact.”””

Same thing here in Minneapolistan with the Bobcat dealer and others.

Has any Republican governor shut down businesses?

Evers is an empty suit, a puppet. His COS worked for Holder in the “sue till its blue” PAC. Evers takes his orders though him. No original thoughts. Per my sources, Evers promised legislative leaders on Sunday this would not happen. The man has zero credibility with the legislature.

Also the authors of the piece, Beck and Marley, are paid in kind propagandists/contributors to DNC narrative. As biased as they get

Up here in the Northwoods WI we are starting to see a lot more Illinois license plates a couple of month earlier than usual, before the weather gets nice. I suppose they are people fleeing Northern Illinois. I don’t blame them, I would, too. However, I hope they don’t bring the bug with them and start overloading the infrastructure up here.

Yup. This is sure looking like a coordinated DNC thing. Is this the way the DNC tries to deny Trump a national victory? The Dem guvs can say, “See, because we did the courageous act, we saved the nation, not Trump.”
