Gov. Whitmer is set to hold a press conference at 6:00 pm.
Expected to shut down high schools, colleges, restaurants (take out only), bars, work from home if at all possible etc. etc. for 3 weeks.
Have to watch to see what the specifics are.

I am glad that I don't live in that state. That is all I can say.

BTW, the governor of Michigan was at one point a top pick to be Biden's running mate.

College for all our grands in MI have been announced yesterday back online only. Hospitals are already furloughing employees as of Monday, 11/16.. There are so many who still can’t feed their families, pay mortgage from her last shutdown. Our daughter and her kids are in the #movement no child should go hungry in MI. They provide food for those in need.

Many who live in MI say Governor will be a one and done.

Just in case there may be two sides to the story....


The announcement comes as the state says it has seen exponential growth in cases that is nearly four times higher than it was during the peak of the virus surge in early April, and as hospitals warn they are filling up with COVID-19 patients.

New cases peaked over 9,000 twice in the last seven days, with trends indicating that is more likely to be the norm in the coming days. As of Saturday, the Michigan Health Department reported 7,072 new cases and 65 additional deaths, bringing the state's total to more than 251,000 coronavirus cases and more than 7,900 related deaths since the pandemic began.

I totally agree with Whitmer. It's a 3 week pause... and it wasn't done by Whitmer, it was done by the Michigan Health and Human Service. She just made the announcement. I totally stand behind this announcement. Maybe Florida should also. Things are getting worse by the day. The current president is a denier. He could care less how many people die from COVID, Someone has to stand up.

It's a 3 week pause... I think we can all live with it. The country should do the same.

Her husband wanted their boat by traverse city cleaned up for last Memorial Day. When agency said not during the shutdown, he said “ do you know who I am?” The governor’s husband. A lot of politicians think they are above everyone else. They make a law and don’t do what they want us to do. A disgrace!

It’s very simple.
Your money or
Your life.

I’m pro life, so I wear a mask and social distance.

She didn't allow free citizens of her state to travel to their own second homes in in the state or she tried by mandate to stop it. She rivals the governor of New York for bone headed proclamations.

There is no logic in her decisions ever...only control...that’s her goal.

Yes, do not need some mother or nanny Governor telling me how to take care of myself. If you need that kind of supervision please go to it. The constitution does not dictate for the Government to take care of my health. Never understand why so many people think it is the Governments job to take care of them and all their problems. Grow up and take some responsibility for life.

The people who have no income can't live with it. If we're all really "in it together", why don't you send all your income to someone in lockdown. It's only 3 weeks, right? By the way, there's no evidence that lockdowns do anything to stop the spread of the virus.

She's doing what needs to be done.

She’s a strong woman. She trusts science. She’s saving lives! What’s the problem?

Governor of California just attended a 50th birthday party that went against his proclamations. They are all hypocrites.
