Five years ago today, the COVID-19 shutdown began in Wisconsin. Flash back to the beginning of the nightmare that would last for years.
_________________ And here it is:We have been working hard to ensure the health and safety of the people of our state as we have responded to COVID-19. We’ve taken important steps, but folks, time is of the essence. So today I’m announcing we'll be issuing a #SaferAtHome order tomorrow. Here’s what this means ⬇️
— Governor Tony Evers (@GovEvers) March 23, 2020
People across our state are still out and about unnecessarily that are putting our friends, our neighbors, and our communities at risk. Please #StayHome and help us save lives.

We also need folks to limit their interactions to the same people, not different small groups. Shrinking your circle of interactions will help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately that means no sleepovers, no play dates, and no dinner parties with friends and neighbors.

Note: Evers says this is NOT a Shelter in Place order.
It's a Safer at Home order.
What a load!
Just like abortion is health care and a choice, Shelter in Place is Safer at Home.
Killing a baby by any other name is killing a baby.
Being ordered to stay in your home by any other name is the government ordering you to stay in your home.
Since we're being told the order won't be enforced by the National Guard, it will be interesting to see if people will allow Evers to take away their right to assemble.
