Any Wisconsin residents here?

I posted a thread yesterday wondering why masks are not being worn indoors at the Rittenhouse trial. Wisconsin has a very high rate of Covid. It looks like there are no mitigation efforts at all. Even the Arbury trial in very red Georgia has masks being worn indoors.

public schools. At least I think they're required in schools. I know they are mandated on the Lawrence Univ campus.

I'm in a reasonably progressive city and the mask culture can do a complete flip in just two blocks. GQP state laws.

We have places that demand mask/vaxx/passport/negative test before entry, and others where there are literally dozens or hundreds of non-masked people wandering in and out with no paperwork like nothing is going on. It's crazy.
