Evers’ Order #12: Deciding what’s ‘essential’
Excerpt: John Stocks just wants the opportunity to say goodbye to his dying father. That’s no longer possible under Gov. Tony Evers’ Emergency Order #12, his so-called “Safer At Home” edict now requiring most Wisconsin residents to shelter in place for the next month. Evers, too, has decided who is essential — and who isn’t —in the workforce and in the greater business community. His coronavirus laws, which come with a $250 fine and jail time for “violators,” demand greater social distancing ostensibly for the greater good. That means people in their final days of life, like John Stocks’ father, face the grim prospect of dying alone, or at least without their loved ones beside them. Even their funerals in this new COVID-19 reality must take place with no more than a few family members or friends gathered.
