Apologies for the delay in answering questions from #Badgers fans about Graham Mertz testing positive for COVID-19. Have been working on the story for much of the day but we wanted to be certain. One positive test. Has to have a second test to confirm.
 
Game cancelled. Per Big Ten rules, Badgers now shut operations down for 7 days. Will re test Next Wednesday. If under threshold, will have 3 days to prepare for next game (Purdue) utilizing their 4th string qb.

-1000 it came from the Chicago area.

Your assumptions and implication reflect total ignorance on your part.

Trump has held multiple super spreader events in Wisconsin. Wisconsin has made mask wearing a political issue. Every safety measure the democratic Governor orders is challenged by the RepubliCon controlled state legislator. And the RepubliCon state Supreme Court always rules in favor of the RepubliCons. Wisconsin RepubliCons own the worst health crisis in the nation. Too blame Chicago is massive ignorance. Racist Fair Warning never disappoints.

Chicago shutting down their indoor dining again because of upper Wisconsin or because the city has been infected since March?

Man, you're one confused individual. Chicago a metropolitan area of 10 million has done a good job of controlling the virus and flattening the curve. They've actually banned travel from Wi and Indiana because of their Covid crisis. Gov Pritzer has a plan. And when numbers reach a certain level in a area, that area moves into another phase of restrictions. Kudos to Pritzer. For those of you that think whats happening in upper Wisconsin has anything to do with Chicago are confused. Oy Vey!

So much for flattening the curve. From WGN just now

North suburbs to join most of Illinois under added COVID-19 restrictions as state reports more than 6,000 cases

The effect of Pritzker's actions on small businesses will be felt years after the last case of Rona sniffles. Look for more people to leave the state.

Are the hospitals in your county still empty? Didn't think so. Just blame Chicago.

Fkn Trump again....that guy
 
Early reports are that Wisconsin will try to play Purdue this Saturday. With top 3 qb's out, it will be interesting to see what they roll out there. Mertz would be eligible the following week versus Michigan.
