Hey Donald.
Don't know if anyone told you, but Wisconsin has been averaging 2500 new cases of covid a day.
Brown county has been adding 150 to 250 cases of covid a day.
About 20% of the testing done is resulting in positive cases.
Our schools are shutting down right and left to try to slow down the spread of covid. Just a side note, I have been remote learning with my grandson. I guess I have you to thank for the quality time I am getting with him.
Our football team, you may have heard of them when you tried to buy into the NFL, they are known by the name the Packers, cannot open games to the public yet, and will not do so for the near future because of the covid numbers up here.
We have a lot of hospitals, but they are filling up, yup, covid.
You can come downtown to have a beverage, our state republicans have made sure that the bars stay open. But if you want to eat at one of our fine establishments you may want to call ahead as so many have shuttered. And the many people who used to work at those shuttered establishments would ask you to get Mitch to get some help for them. Many have been out of work for a long time.
I would come to the airport to share my views with you, but you bring your fans of maskless racist cult members, and that just isn't my thing. Seeing them on tv turns my stomach. I think seeing them in person would make me vomit, made all the more uncomfortable as I do wear a mask.
Not only that, it is hard for me to get around and I have a questionable immune system and am over the age of 60. I guess to you I am a nobody, so it will not matter to you if I get sick and die, but my husband and daughter and grandkids and numerous brothers and sisters and their families might miss me. By the way, we were raised Catholic in a Milwaukee suburb. And we do not like your choice for supreme court. To be honest we do not like you either. None of us voted for you last time and none of us will vote for you this time. So that is about 50 votes for Joe.
I am hoping others in our usually reliably red area will be sharing their views with you. If not, as I said, most of your cult will not wear masks if they follow your example. It may be a little chilly Saturday evening, but its good clean air. And you will he surrounded by very good people. So shake hands with those good people and make sure to breathe in deeply.
Say hi to Vos and Fitzgerald. Please thank them for our covid explosion. And if Mike Gallagher is there don't forget to thank him for his service. He hasn't really addressed your comments about service members, which I find surprising as a Marine. I guess he agrees with you.
Oh, and if you were wondering, I did vote, dropped off at our polling place, already received. We checked.
To he honest, I do not welcome you to our community. You have done a lot of harm up here. I am just hoping you will take with you what we have left to offer. Cough.

(11,869 posts)Only state with more rapid rise in Covid is North Dakota (who is on their third State Health Director in months: Spineless N.D. Guv Sacrifices 3rd Health Czar as Covid Surges: https://www.thedailybeast.com/spineless-north-dakota-gov-doug-burgum-lets-third-health-director-take-the-fall-as-covid-19-cases-soar ).
Waiting lists now for major hospitals in Marshfield, Wausau. Beds full in Appleton, Green Bay and La Crosse called "Red Zones" as the worse and most high level of positive Covid . And, it may not be near peak yet!!! God help us this is a major disaster on top of a fiasco, inside a whirring nightmare of horrors.
Thanks State Repigs. You worthless SOB's. You f'n money and power Koch sucking freaks. You followed the stupidest and worst Preszilnit of all time. You sacrificed us by legally fighting masking, testing, social distancing. Go ROT in Hell!
