I've been calling Michigan "The State of Detroit" ever since Whitmer put in the ridiculous stay-home orders. They're just fine for the Detroit area and Flint and where there is an outbreak of COVID-19, but in the REST of the state, she absolutely MUST ease up on the restrictions! New studies have shown that 66% of new infections are in people who are infected by their own FAMILY in an indoor environment...i.e., lockdown! GET A CLUE, WHITMER!

Sweden never locked down anyone. They started at no groups over 250 and then eventually went down to no groups over 50. Sweden and Michigan are very close in total population and total land mass. Sweden is opening schools soon. They used the "herd" immunity strategy. Guess what? They have less deaths and less total cases than Michigan. This is more evidence that we have incompetent people at the helm? Or was it about power?
I live in the UP and our count of covid cases is two confirmed and one probable within our county. It has been that way for at least 3 weeks. It is well past time to open up. We were not required to wear masks for six weeks and there was no change in cases. Now we are required to wear them, but with little enforcement. There is no rhyme or reason to this stay at home requirement.
Before all this happened, I was working on moving up there. Tim, what is the best place from an economic perspective up there?
@ryan.wendland I suppose it would be either Sault Ste. Marie or Marquette.
We all know this is a political thing! Even the Dr's don't understand what is going on. There is absolutely no reason for us to wear masks and I refuse to do it. Some of the police are trying to figure out when they signed up to be a Gestapo. They know they are infringing on out rights. Everything about this reeks of communism
Virtually every state that is using heavy measures like Gov. Whitmer's of Michigan are run by Democrats. Given the platform of the Democrat party, this makes perfect sense. These moves are all power plays. I agree with the comments above, especially the one about Sweden, which I have looked at closely.
