Whitmer isn't playing games with first responder's lives, that would be Trump.

Trump has been trying to update us on certain health breakthroughs

- We now have a 5 minute COVID19 test, and he over promised the time to market (we won't have millions to people in a week)

- A vaccine is Soooo close (still 13 month but who's counting).

- They are testing Plasma derived therapy (It's Plasma not Plausma).

- Every time he gets off script he's totally lost and starts babbling like an idiot.

- He said Azithromycin (a really big word for The Donald) and he paused. I think he surprised himself.

If Whitmer really wanted to stop the spread of the virus in our state, she would draw a horizontal line across the lower peninsula somewhere around Bay City and forbid all but essential travel crossing that line. 99% of confirmed cases are south of that line. BUT, that would tick off her Democrat voting base. I don't think she cares much about the hicks up north who vote Republican.

That would cut off a lot of the people who go south for essential services not available up there. I don’t think that’s easily justified.

I agree, I wouldn't want to have a New York license plate right now.

But just a few days ago you wanted everyone out and spending money. What changed in 6 days? Is science finally getting to your judgement?

Whitmer has a cottage in Elk Rapids and she directly contradicted one of her biggest supporters by refusing to advocate for downstate people to stay where there are more resources. It's been a hard pill.
