I live in northern WI and many counties in our area have had no reported cases. Our area and northern MN areas have large amounts of seasonal residents. Right now both are asking that people do not come from IL and metro areas in WI and MN. WI counties have gone as far as putting out warnings telling seasonal folks to not come, but if they do, don't stop and shop. Bring enough food for 14 days because they are to self-quarantine at their vacation homes. They are still coming for just the weekend and stopping at grocery stores/meat markets and gas stations. There are no bars or restaurants open. I would like to know if you guys think there is nothing wrong with them coming up? Many say this is anti-tourism. Any thoughts?
As of this morning, MN had 441 confirmed cases of the virus with 5 deaths, while WI was at 900 with 16 deaths. I wouldn't worry about MN people coming into WI. If anything, MN should be worried about WI visitors.
Anti-tourism? That's a new one.
Can't people in general just stay put for several weeks like they are being asked, until the number of cases start to level off and drop? I am starting week 3 of shelter in place and have only left the house twice to get groceries and come right back home. We are starting to hear that it may be extended for 6 more weeks. It sucks, yes, but it is necessary.
