Michigan going BACK INTO LOCKDOWN

[audiophile]

I know some would scream "age discrimination", but those under age 55, nonsmoker and those without preexisting conditions (or don't live/work with someone that has the same criteria) should allowed to go about their business.

I have been wondering how the transition will work with vaccinated individuals. I am a 1B candidate. Besides the lowered risk I present to those at the shelter, I have the ability to have more freedom once I am vaccinated.

Should we have a vaccinated certificate or app?

To those of you who support the continued lockdown, I'm curious as to a few things:

1 - What SPECIFIC criteria would you use to determine when the lockdown should end?
2 - What degree of decimation of the small business community is acceptable?
3 - What is the source of authority that gives government bureaucrats such broad discretion in deciding which sectors of the economy to literally destroy and what sectors to allow to survive?

I personally don't care about any of these issues, because I elect people to work on matters like this on my behalf and I don't try to micromanage the government.

I'm sure people who do care are trying to test the boundaries of emergency health orders and the Michigan liquor commission.

We are a nation of laws and I'm sorry you just don't like it. Fortunately, there are remedies in place challenge things you don't agree with.

So, government knows best? You are a true piece of work. Why don't you extend the same courtesy to President Trump?

False logic at work here. Your numbers are down because less people are out and about, once they can go back out, if she ever allows it, the numbers will go back up.

That would be the point of a pause... to reduce the numbers... it works, full stop. That it goes back up afterwords proves just how well it works. Meanwhile the hospital system can catch up.

Because government by a man who doesn’t read and has no depth of knowledge of any subject known to man is not the same as government by a team of people who have studied issues in depth for their entire lives and has actual ideas about how to improve things. It’s just not even a competition. It’s Alabama at its peak against a motley crew of 7th graders.

Honestly Bryce I don't what question you want me to answer

Which Michigan businesses has Mitch shut down?

And it has worked, dildo. During the last 3 weeks, Michigan went from 8,500 cases to 4,100 each day. Shut downs work!

Dildo? Is that what you're using now since the mask mandate has made it difficult to participate in your favorite sexual activity?

Sure, cases are down. As ZZ said, they will go back up. But cases aren't the metric we should be looking at. Number of deaths as well as who is dying are.

As of December 18th, 2020 Michigan reports 11,212 Covid-19 deaths. Of those 11,212 deaths, people over the age of 65 accounted for 9,240 of them. If you add in people ages 55 to 64, it would jump to 10,470. Let me ask you, if Covid-19 would have taken a total of 742 lives (0.0082 percent of our population) during the year, would the shutdown of business and daily lives taken place? Would it have been warranted?

Our Governor took a chainsaw to a problem in which a scalpel should have been used. Then, poured dirt in the wound by sending infected people to be housed where the most vulnerable live.

Policy designed to protect the high risk population, while letting low risk individuals go about their daily lives was the policy needed here. Asking taxpayers from other states to pay for her ham handedness is beyond the pale.

One of my friends I had made in local politics died last week at 82 due to COVID. Doesn't his life matter? I thought all lives matter?

Did you neglect reading the "protect the people who are high risk" (someone 82 is high risk) part of my post?

Whitmer still owns one of the highest CFR rates in the country, doesn't she?

Why is our CFR so much higher than neighboring Ohio?

Congratulations, you have joined Bidet and TCSU in the "Intellectual Corner". Way to put that education to work.

Good comeback. Most people here know you are an insufferable prick with an oversized helping of self-importance. You are not allowed to speak of intellectual honesty, because you have none.

Robert Gordon has zero health background. We're told he's issuing these orders.

Makes perfect sense. We have an expert on racial matters on this board that lives in an area with almost zero diversity.
