In 2019, only 140 people died of alcohol-related car crashes in Wisconsin.

Whereas, about 5,000 Wisconsinites died of Covid-19 in 2020.

Since they will no longer be required to protect people from something as deadly as Covid, why should they be required to protect others from drunk-driving, which only kills a smattering of people each year?

(Heavy sarcasm.)
