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

Am in total agreement with Governor Whitmer. I am incredulous at the number of deniers in The Villages. This is a serious situation and if our lame state leader had any brains, he would do the same thing. Are you willing to die? Me? Not to Covid and stupid decisions by our Governor. Wear a mask! I would trade Governors with Michigan in a second.

I don't want to live in a state where the gov/state makes all my decisions for me. Sounds too much like China...

They provide food for those in need.

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

That is ridiculous. She is one of the few leaders who has the political and moral courage to do what is right. Why can't people get into their thick heads that 1. COVID-19 is out of control in the USA, especially in the mid-west, and 2, that there is and will be no economic recovery until the pandemic is under control. The US - and Canada - need leaders with the strength of will of those in New Zealand, Australia, and a number of Asian countries. 2024 - Harris and Whitmer.

NYC is well below the 1% r factor. The results speak for themselves in NYC. Credit where credit is due.

I see most negative comments on the beautiful state of Michigan have never been there.

In NY around March we were told "14 days to flatten the curve". It was to not overwhelm the hospitals with Covid patients. It worked.

NY has now been shutdown since then and shows no signs of.changing. It has the worst numbers and Florida has better numbers by far.

That's why we moved to Florida. This Michigan shutdown is not about Covid...and it will be longer than 3 weeks. Wakeup!

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.

If this post was designed to out all the pearl clutchers, who want the government to look after their every need, and the patriots, who are advocates of self reliance and self determination, you have succeeded!

I couldn't have said it better.

Maybe Michiganders should think twice before they pull the lever in the voting booth next time. The richly have what they certainly deserve in their choice of Governor.

In a state where people (restaurants and all small businesses) are hanging on by a thread and finally seeing a tiny ray of light are the reason a 3 week pause is something that we ALL can't live with. Yes the Health and Human Services made this restriction. The Governor was taken to court and determined she did not have the authority to keep extending these shutdowns. So, she enacted the help of the director of health and they dusted off that authority. If you speak directly to nurses and hospital workers here, there are not many people in their hospital workplace that are COVID. This Governor has ruined small business owners and allowed the mega stores to do business as usual....just wear a mask.
