My Facebook response to "Freedom" rally next Saturday in Madison, WI....

To anyone out there that is even remotely thinking of attending the “Freedom rally to Reopen Wisconsin” in Madison next Saturday (4-24) please don’t.....as of today Dane County has 358 confirmed cases of Covid 19 (up 9.4% since last week, and 16 deaths (up 33.3% since last week) and WI has a 5% fatality rate. We don’t need or want you down here. But if you’re intent on exercising your “Constitutional right to protest” then by all means come down, mingle with asymptomatic people and take that virus back up North with you. I’m sure your loved ones will appreciate your sacrifice, especially if you pass it on to them....#saferathomesaveslives, #thelifeyousavemaybealovedones, #flattenthecurve

Marching to "open up" your state?

Go for it! Just sign legally binding waivers that:

1. You will refuse any medical help or intervention should you contract Covid-19;
2. You will pay out of your own pockets for any costs you precipitate if you contract Covid-19;
3. You will be financially responsible for anyone who contracts Covid-19 from you.
4. You can be brought up on manslaughter charges should someone you infected dies.

Do that and you can get back to work, open businesses and exercise your “freedoms”.
