AFTERNOON RECESS
THAT IS RIGHT.
THAT IS THE PLAN FOR SURE.
THANK YOU.
SPEARS HERE'S THE BIG STORIES
IN THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK.
POLLS ARE NOW OPEN IN WISCONSIN
AND THOUSANDS OF VOTERS ARE
PUTTING ON FACE MASKS AND
GETTING IN EXTREMELY LONG LINES
TO CAST THEIR BALLOT IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL EELECTION.
THEY SAID IT MUST GO ON DESPITE
HIM TRYING TO DELAY THE PRIMARY
UNTIL JUNE.
TAKE A LOOK IN MILWAUKEE EARLY
THIS MORNING AS PEOPLE GATH
TOWARD CAST THEIR BALLOTS.
THEY WERE OFFERED A FREE FACE
MASK FOR PROTECZTECTION.
ONLY FIVE POLLING PLACES OPEN
IN THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE RIGHT
NOW.
THE GOVERNOR SAID THAT HOLING
ELECTION RIGHT NOW WAS TOO
DANGEROUS, BUT HE DOES NOT HAVE
CONTROL OF THE STATE
LEGISLATOR.
WISCONSIN HAS ALREADY SEEN 77
PEOPLE DIE FROM COVID-19.
THE GOVERNOR SIGNED AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER PUSHING THAT
PRIMARY INTO JUNE 9TH, BUT THE
ORDER WAS IMMEDIATELY CHALLENGE
D IN THE STATE SUPREME COURT.
THE LEADERS IN MADISON COUNTY
SAID VOTING IS JUST AS
ESSENTIAL AS GOING TO THE
GROCERY STORE AND GETTING GAS
AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS PEOPLE
ARE DOING DESPITE COVID-19.
AND HUDSON AND OTHERS GETTING
READY TO OPEN AT 7 THIS
MORNING.
ARE PEOPLE REQUIRED TO WEAR
MASKS WHEN THEY COME INTO VOTE?
THEY ARE NOT.
THEY HAVE A WASHING STATION
WHEN THEY WALK IN, AND EVERY
VOTER HAS THEIR OWN PEN THEY
WILL TAKE OUT WITH THEM OR
THROW AWAY.
WE HAVEPLEXY GLASS WINDOWS ON
THE TABLE TUESDAY KIND OF
SEPARATE.
WE'RE DOING THE 6 FEET AWAY.
IT WILL TAKE LONGER TODAY.
WE'RE TOLD POLL WORKERS ARE
WEARING GLOVES AND MASK.
THE WISCONSIN NATIONAL GUARD
WILL ENFORCE THE 6-FOOT SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
DESPITE THE PRECAUTIONS THE
POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR
SAYS HE EXPECTS VOTER TURNOUT
TO BE LOW WHICH TRADITIONALLY
FAVORS REPUBLICANS
THE GOVERNOR HELPS TO MAKE
A DECISION TODAY OR TOMORROW
ABOUT POSSIBLY EXTENDING
MINNESOTA'S STAY-AT-HOME ORDER.
YOU DON'T WANT TO SET UP A
FALSE HOPE THAT THIS IS GOING
TO BE, YOU KNOW, QUICKER OR
REMOVED, AND I DON'T WANT TO
SET THIS TOO FAR OUT AND PEOPLE
GET FRUSTRATED AND SAID HOW DO
YOU KNOW?
LOT CAN CHANGE BY MAY.
THE STAY-AT-HOME ORDER IS
SET TO EXPIRE ON FRIDAY.
HE SAID HE'S LETTING DATA DRIVE
HIS DECISION ON HOW LONG THAT
SHOULD LAST.
HE SAID THE ORDER COULD BE
EXTENDED THROUGH THE END OF THE
MONTH.
GOVERNOR WALLS SAID MINNESOTA
HAS THE LOWEST COVID-19 RATE IN
THE COUNTRY.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND WE
DON'T HAVE AS MUCH WIDESPREAD
TESTING AS MANY STATES DO.
THE CASES HAS JUMPED TO 986 IN
MINNESOTA.
ANOTHER PERSON HAS DIED, AND
THAT BRINGS THE STATE'S TOTAL
TO 30.
WISCONSIN HAS 24 KNOWN CASES
AND 77 PEOPLE THERE HAVE DIED.
THREE OF MINNESOTA'S NEIGHBORS
DON'T HAVE STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS.
THE GOVERNORS OF IOWA, SOUTH
DAKOTA AND NORTH DAKOTA.
IOWA AND SOUTH DAKOTA HAVE
ISSUED STHEEUD ORDER, BUT NORTH
DAKOTA HAS NOT.
THE NUMBERS ARE NOT TOO FAR OFF
FROM SOUTH DAKOTA.
A TWIN CITIES RADIO HOST
SAYS HE HAS ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS
OF COVID-19 BUT CAN'T GET
TESTED.
THEY TOLD ME IF I WORKED IN
HEALTHCARE OR LIVED IN ASSISTED
LIVING OR NURSING CARE
FACILITY, THOSE PEOPLE ARE
GETTING PRIORITY.
I COULD GET TESTED IF THEY
ADMITTED ME TO THE HOSPITAL.
OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE TO COME
HOME AND QUARANTINE FOR 14-
DAYS.
HE IS A COHOST OF THE
MORNING SHOW SINCE HE COULDN'T
GET TESTED AT A PLYMOUTH
MORNING SHARE.
HE IS IN QUARANTINE AND AWAY
FROM HIS BABY GIRL.
