>> AN ESTIMATED 100,000 PEOPLE
VENTURED INTO THE WISCONSIN
DELLS DURING THE 4TH OF
JULY WEEKEND EVEN WITH
CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS.
THESE ARE THE CROWDS AT NOAH'S
ARK WATERPARK.
GUESTS WERE ASKED TO WEAR MASKS
INSIDE THE PARK BUT WERE NOT
REQUIRED TO WEAR THEM.
THE NUMBER OF COVID CASES IN
WISCONSIN NOW TOPS 33,000, WITH
MORE THAN 800 DEATHS, AND THE
RATE OF POSITIVE CASES CONTINUES
TO RISE.
THE UPWARD SURGE HAS BEEN STEADY
SINCE THE WISCONSIN SUPREME
COURT STRUCK DOWN WISCONSIN'S
"SAFER AT HOME" ORDER.
GOVERNOR TONY EVERS THIS WEEK
SAID HE WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED
IMPOSING A FACE MASK ORDER TO
PREVENT FURTHER SPREAD IF HE HAD
THE POWER TO DO SO.
>> I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
ASKED ABOUT ISSUING ANOTHER
"SAFER AT HOME" ORDER OR
REQUIRING MASKS AT THE STATE
LEVEL.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE REALITY IS
THAT THE SUPREME COURT RULING IN
THE REPUBLICAN LAWSUIT REALLY
HAMSTRUNG OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND
TO THIS PANDEMIC.
