Minnesota and Wisconsin

[question everything]

Both states have the same population size, Similar demographics, I think.

Yet Wisconsin had double the number of infected patients and of death as Minnesota.

Wonder why. And when I heard that the legislators blocked the governor's request for a primary by mail, I was reminded on how they changed the laws to make him ineffective before he even took office...

1. Milwaukee's proximity to Chicago could be a factor.

Minnesota is a little farther away from other hot spots.

2. I knew people who worked in Chicago but lived in WI border

with Illinois. Because housing was cheaper in WI.

3. At this point, I think it's more an issue of geography than politics.

5. Wisconsin's Health and Nutrition Programs

are way behind Minnesota. Having grown up in Wisconsin and later moving to Minnesota and having family still in both States. Which btw,are in similiar age groups. Wisconsin under Walker lost their great Primary Health care and Nutrition programs for the sake of Corporate Tax Breaks for the GOP Donors.

Were as Minnesota under the direction of Dayton,the state was able to expand primary Health care despite the GOP controlling one House of the Legislature. And expanded the Nutrition Programs as well,especially for the Working poor .

When you have to travel two to three hours for Health Care,geez what could go wrong. And Wisconsinites wonder what went wrong,well you elected Walker three times. Were as Minnesota has elected two Dems after the debacle of electing a Pro Wrestler Egomaniac and a couple of Rethug dummies who wrecked the joint including out state Hospitals and Schools,they are in much better shape today to handle this Pandemic.
