Gov. Tony Evers to order Wisconsinites to stay at home, will close non-essential businesses

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.

And raise prices. How many projects will be abandoned because they will no longer be affordable?

Massachusetts just went lockdown for Tuesday at noon. We have a rino governor.

That's why he's called Charlie Faker. I'm sure he's already working with DeLeo on the gargantuan tax increase they will trot out when this is over. Faker will talk against it, but sigh in relief when the Democrat legislature overrides his veto.

Our company (steel manufacturing) started getting letters today from some customers basically saying that the government considered them vital businesses and that in turn we were expected to stay open so I guess we’ll see how this goes.
