I don’t know how people are standing this mask BS with the heat and humidity,

4 slices with a utility knife helps with breathing at least.

There must be a footnote that rioters and looters are exempt.

DiBlasio shows how it is done:

Massive civil disobedience is the only answer to these insane masking orders.

The intention of these DEMOCRATIC governors is to keep herd immunity from kicking in until after the election.

Do not help them out.

Refuse to wear a mask.

If you aren’t feeling well, stay home.

If it’s really an emergency, why does she sign the order on Friday but it doesn’t take effect until Monday? What magic protects people for 3 days?

More boot-heel-on-neck extremism from a totalitarian Democrat.

Originally, Executive Orders (even at the Federal Level) applied only to the Executive Department. The Governor (Or President) is not a queen or king who can arbitrarily make law superseding real law merely be “deeming” some situation to be an emergency.

You wear a mask!!!!! If some people are afraid of the so called most deadly virus that you have to take a test to even know you have it, wear a mask, stay home. But please, leave me alone. I refuse to wear your Jewish gold star.

So, whatever happened to “we just need to flatten the curve “ so as to not overwhelm our hospitals eat al? I’m I’m Michigan (Detroit area) and our hospitals are not overwhelmed. The opposite in most cases. Deaths are down and as far as I can tell, COVID hospitalization is not unmanageable.

Besides a lawsuit stuck in the appeals court until August, the Republicans have done what they’re really good at in Michigan, nothing. Also, maybe some legal experts can tell me why/how something this important sits in appeals for 3-4 months.

Exactly why mask mandates and forced business closures are unlawful.

No; it isn’t the law — until a legislature passes a law.

It's the leftist dream to control everything, including all the citizenry and what they do. They dream to have a centrally-controlled all-encompassing government.

An EO is meant to internally facilitate government's operations. But, if government is everything, there is no difference between internal and external - it's all internal, as external now becomes internal.

With that, there is the leftist justification for an EO for anything that a legislature could possibly do.

Wake up and recall

I don't think it's going to happen. They need 1,062,647 VALID signatures within the 60 day period.

I made ours, with the heat, reworked them to a single layer for trips to pharmacy or doctors, where you can’t get out of wearing them.

Wearing a mask or face covering can significantly decrease the chance of spreading COVID-19 and save lives. It’s important that all Michiganders wear masks properly — not down around the neck, not only over the mouth but correctly over the mouth and nose.”

So I can wear a catcher’s mask and not be out of compliance. Got it.
