Open the Economy"? We're getting more COVID cases than ever!

On the day before RW Astroturfers put together a clown show on the Capitol steps to "Open the Economy", we get this bit of news.

Thanks, #Wisconsin @repvos @SenFitzgerald @wisgop - new Covid19 cases up since primary! We might've been on the other side of the hill, otherwise. Source: https://t.co/51vODQ4OVO pic.twitter.com/6TpibpvKXc

The last two days have been the first in Wisconsin two with more than 200 new cases. It's not what you want.
And many are work-related, especially in the 920.

Brown County health officials report 511 confirmed #COVID19 cases Thurs. -- 101 more than Wed.

-- 189 linked to JBS; 55 to American Foods Group; 23 to Salm Partners meat processing plants.

- Brown County is not planning to order the closure of any plants at this point.

A previously unnamed Walworth County facility that has a COVID-19 outbreak is Holton Manor in Elkhorn and not the Birds Eye food processing plant in Darien, whose outbreak came as a “surprise” to the county. https://t.co/L9Ngx3G9iT

And yet the business oligarchs say "trust us, not the health data."

Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce will officially announce the plan tomorrow. Based off a proposal from GOP Sen. Chris Kapenga, the framework would use an algorithm to allow businesses to determine their risk level and assess which precautions they need to take to safely reopen.

At this point, not only should we not do a major reopening of the economy, we might need the state to step in and shut some of these hotspots down. If our state's lousy business owners would get out of the way, we'd actually be having fewer new cases, and would be closer to reopening the economy.

These RW goofs are way out of step with mainstream Wisconsin, as shown again by this newly-released poll from Public Policy Polling. Not only does Governor Evers have a 53-37 "approve vs disapprove", but this answer is especially telling.

What should be done about social distancing measures
We are doing the right thing 53%
We should relax them 23%
We should go further 21% (!)

3/4 of the state thinks we are fine, or should have even more restrictions. And almost as many think we should be more restrictive vs having fewer restrictions.

Maybe more of the talk radio in this state should reflect the 3/4 that gives a damn about people outside of themselves, instead of giving all this air time to the loud and selfish 1/4. Just a thought.
