Like their colleagues to the east and west, seven governors from the Midwest region announced Thursday that they are partnering up to coordinate guidelines on reopening the economies in their states. The move comes as President Trump is prepared to announce guidelines to begin reopening the economy at the end of the month.
Gov. Tony Evers has directed Wisconsin Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm to extend the Safer at Home order from April 24 to May 26 or until a superseding order is issued.
Bold is mine. So it could be sooner if we can just bend the curve, which WI hasnât done. Itâs not a bad order, some things can re-open on conditions.
Ohio Gov. Mike Dewine (R): âI am an optimist and am confident that Ohioans will also live up to the challenge of doing things differently as we open back up beginning on May 1st.â
He keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
But if the rules include having appropriate testing in place, Wisconsin will have issues meeting that, along with all the other States, whether in the pact or not.
The testing kits are seriously the sticking point here, no pun intended. I donât know when we get enough to do the job properly.
