MADISON, Wis. (AP) —A Wisconsin judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked an order from Gov. Tony Evers' administration limiting the number of people who can gather in bars, restaurants and other indoor places, a move that comes as the state breaks records for new coronavirus cases, deaths and hospitalizations.

..............................

Sawyer County Circuit Judge John Yackel on Wednesday blocked the order and set a court date for Monday.
...........................

Evers said he was making the move to curb the spread of the virus as it spikes in Wisconsin.

The state was opening a field hospital near Milwaukee on Wednesday to handle an overflow of patients from hospitals that hit a record-high number of COVID-19 patients on Tuesday.

Republican lawmakers are currently suing to end the governor's statewide mask mandate.

Wisconsin's escalating coronavirus crisis reached a distressing level of severity Tuesday, as the state recorded its worst day of the pandemic yet following weeks of record-breaking numbers.

https://www.postcrescent.com/story/news/2020/10/13/wisconsin-coronavirus-more-than-3-200-cases-34-deaths-reported/3641665001/




The state Department of Health Services reported 3,279 new cases and 34 deaths due to the coronavirus — both measures the highest of the pandemic.

The state crossed the grim threshold of 1,500 total deaths and reported its highest-ever average of new cases — 2,727 a day over the last seven days.

1. WTF,

so now the Wisconsin GOP goes to a wack job Judge in the middle of the Cranberry Bogs for a opinion. BTW, Hayward is the county Seat and this is Sean Duffy's old back yard. Yackel and Duffy same law firm years ago?

after most of its inhabitants have died off.

Unfortunately, those might include some of my relatives.

4. They've been hobbling Governor Evers' power since the day we voted him in.

People ask "Why is Wisconsin spiking?"

Well here it is - stupidity, plain and simple.

Damn them all.

6. There is a rabid Republican group in Wisconsin

That are treating Evers like McConnell treated Obama, blocking anything they can that’s good for the people of Wisconsin. It’s f*cking horrible what they’re doing here.
