Today we announced our Badger Bounce Back plan. This plan takes the steps Wisconsin needs to take to decrease #COVID19 cases and deaths and increase capacity in our healthcare system so that a phased reopening of businesses is possible and we can get people back to work. #Thread
In order to turn the dial on Safer at Home and supercharge the Badger Bounce Back, we must:
➡️Access more testing and labs
➡️Expand contact tracing
➡️Aggressively track the spread
➡️Access more #PPE and supplies
➡️Increase healthcare system capacity
As part of that plan the state will be working to increase access to more testing and expand lab capacity. Under the Badger Bounce Back plan, the goal is that everyone who needs a test gets a test.
Next, the state will be expanding contact tracing and more aggressively tracking the spread with the goal that every Wisconsinite who tests positive being interviewed within 24 hrs of receiving their test results and their contacts being interviewed within 48 hrs of test results.
Additionally, the state will continue to pursue every avenue to grow Wisconsin’s supply of personal protective equipment #PPE for healthcare and public safety entities to conduct COVID-19 testing, patient care, and public safety work.
Finally, the plan works to bolster healthcare system capacity where patients can be treated without crisis care and there are more robust testing programs in place for at-risk healthcare workers.
In tandem, Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation is laying the groundwork to get Wisconsin businesses back on their feet and workers back to work as soon as it is safe to do so. ⬇️
Turning the dial through the Badger Bounce Back will get our state moving again and get people back to work. More importantly it will allow us to stay open once we re-open.
Wisconsinites have had to make enormous sacrifices to slow the spread of COVID-19, but we are resilient and we will bounce back. #BadgerBounceBack

Republicans are exploiting a global pandemic to further their attempts to undermine the will of the people. But what’s at stake goes far beyond political power--lives are on the line. #THREAD
Today, Republicans in the Legislature filed a lawsuit to effectively strike down our #SaferAtHome order and cripple our ability to respond to a pandemic that has already taken the lives of 242 people in our state.
This isn’t a game. This isn’t funny. People die every day because of this virus -- often times painful and lonely deaths -- and the more we delay or play political games the more people die.

A few weeks ago, we had a pretty grim outlook for what COVID-19 could mean for our state, but safer at home is working, folks. Our data shows we have saved lives and we have helped flatten the curve, which has resulted in fewer cases and hospitalizations. #THREAD
But as I’ve said all along, we are going to rely on the science and public health experts to help guide us through these challenges, because at the end of the day, our bottom line is keeping people safe. And we’re not out of the woods just yet.
That’s why we are extending Wisconsin’s Safer at Home order to May 26, 2020 with some new measures to ensure safety and support the progress we’ve made, but also allow certain activities to resume. More on that is available at the FAQ document here: bit.ly/2XIzBvZ

In the absence of legislative action, today I signed Executive order #74 suspending in-person voting for the April 7 spring election until June 9, 2020.
I had hoped that the Legislature work do its part—just as the rest of us are—to help keep people health and safe, but as municipalities are consolidating polling locations, I cannot in good conscience stand by and do nothing.
The bottom line is that I have an obligation to keep people safe, and that’s why I signed this order today. More here: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIGOV…
