Worst COVID numbers yet.

926 new cases. Last weekend, the I was backed up so Mr AC and I drove through Wisconsin Dells on 12. Every water park, campground, parking lot, restaurant was PACKED. No social distancing. No masks.

We are a state of idiots right now.

The SC didn't say no to lockdown, just they way Evers went about it.
Also, Evers Orders was set to expire on 26 May and he wasn't going to extend it anyway.

At least universal masking goes into place Monday. Not good enough but a start.

The UW did a study recently where they sent observers all over the state to observe behaviors.

I don't have the link in front of me. I can dig for it if anyone here requests.

And correct, many idiots out there. Just wear the damn mask.

We go to Aldi or drive to Madison. That will change on Monday but I wonder what kind of teeth the county rule to wear masks will have.

That said, I can't believe they're open. I heard Devils Lake was super crowded/no masks last weekend too.
