MADISON (WKOW) -- Gov. Tony Evers asked everyone in Wisconsin on Tuesday to not make unnecessary trips and to reduce the number of people they're interacting with because of the continued spread of COVID-19 in the state.
"Limit your social interactions to a circle of five," he said Tuesday. "That means five total, not five at a time."
Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm said though the state is continuing to break records, she expects this is not the high-water mark.
"This is going to get worse before it gets better, which is why we all need to take every precaution we can because these actions are how we stop the spread and make sure Wisconsin gets back on the right track." she said.
Evers and Palm both said people shouldn't go to gatherings with anyone outside their immediate family or household.
Even though many people are making plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas, Evers' request didn't carve out exceptions for holidays.
"Don't have people at your home who are outside your immediate household," he said. "We can prevent deaths of people in Wisconsin by staying home."
Evers said he believes most Wisconsinites are being careful and following pandemic precautions, but he said there are also people who aren't and are choosing to not wear masks or limit their interactions.
"It ruins it for everyone else," he said. "We need folks to stop treating this virus as something that's only happening to other folks in other places."
F OFF EVERS.
“Just in time to suppress the Republican vote!”
I think we’ll be OK. Republicans have brains and will take this for what it’s worth, i.e., big fat nothing. They’ll go vote. The majority of fearbros are idiot RATs and will stay home, caress their masks, and hide.
These people are fools...it is a virus it spreads til it dies out
Gov Evers got solidly booed at the Trump rally yesterday in West Salem, WI.
Doom, Gloom, Economic Destruction, Dark Winter. It’s all the left has. These people have ceased to be Americans.
Quite possibly some Americans are getting fed up with dopey politicians dictating how to live their lives.
Run hide make this darn thing last longer, I don’t want to give up my power to rule. What a joke.
Of course...who is surprised by the so-called “massive spike” in Covid CASES just two weeks before the election...?
Who is surprised by a massive BLM “peaceful protest” in Philadelphia a week before the election...?
Who is surprised that the elites are tanking the stock market this week? 30%+ GDP news tomorrow...!
What will the anti-Trump forces cook up for this weekend...?
Maybe, China nukes Taiwan...?
Maybe, a “White Supremacist” group is caught with a fertilizer bomb in downtown Milwaukee...Minneapolis...Columbus...or, Detroit...? Maybe, the FBI let’s it go “Boom”...?
Maybe, the Little Rocket Man shoots off one of his new toys toward Hawaii...?
Maybe, Sleepy Joe finally goes on a Sunday morning gabfest...? Now, that would be big news...!
The governor’s statement is false. He should have said, “We can DELAY deaths”
They paid darn good taxpayer dollars for that CCP virus, and they’re darn sure gonna get as much mileage out of it as they possibly can. There some folks that need to be hanged...publicly.
“...These people have ceased to be Americans....”
That happened a loonnnngggg time ago.
Back in the day when I was in EMS I never saved a life.
I just postponed deaths.
Life is fatal.
I'm all for reasoned risk management. You have to balance risk vs reward. Be careful about buying into this "But gosh, if it saves even one life..." justification for stomping on freedoms and liberties.
This same "logic" has been used to advocate for un-Constitutional "gun control" legislation.
If you're going to try to wipe out all risk - to save even one life - then we had better stop things like skydiving, motorcycling, extreme sports, control diets and exercise...
You can prevent a lot more deaths by taking cigarettes out of people’s mouths, taking their car keys away, taking their snow skies away, Making everyone who is walking in the street wear a safety vest and carry a red flag, taking away their beer, wine, whiskey, forcing everyone to give up red meat and processed foods....
Absolutely. They know Republicans like to vote in person because they don’t Trust their Governor or Democrats..
Give Evers the finger. Show up to vote.
As we all sit here looking at this situation, kids are still denied schooling, high school sports and so much more suffers.
As Trump keeps saying........ the cure cannot be worse than the sickness.
If it ever does. Bubonic Plague is still with us, but not as widespread. There are occasional cases every single year.
