Michigan sees record in daily coronavirus cases: report

Michigan on Thursday reported 1,121 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, marking a new daily high in almost three months, according to a report in the Associated Press.

State officials reported 16 deaths, including nine that occurred earlier and were identified during a records review.

“We took one of the most aggressive approaches in the nation against this virus and because we’ve taken this so seriously, we’re doing much better than other states,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said during a press conference on Friday.

Whitmer said, for the last month, Michigan’s average infection rate was half that of Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.

Whitmer also announced a new partnership on Friday between the state, Ford Motor Company and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) called “MI Mask Aid,” which will provide 4 million free masks to those who need them most. Whitmer said 1 million face coverings from FEMA and 1.5 million from Ford will go to low income schools, the city of Detroit, federally qualified health centers, some COVID-19 testing sites and many organizations helping to reach vulnerable populations.

Michigan has a total of more than 90,000 confirmed cases and more than 6,280 deaths so far.

Positive, unreliable, Test Results, maybe.

Not cases until someone gets sick.
Which almost never happens.

Shut Up Gretched.

Headline is fake. It doesn't match the article. It's not a record. It's the highest in almost three months.

Ahhh, the benefits of central planning. Is there any indication at all that FOUR MILLION masks are actually needed?

And why send masks to schools? There’s nobody there.

FAKE NEWS. More testing results in more confirmed cases!

Reporting the number of new cases is totally meaningless unless you also report how many were tested.

Sooner or later these numbers have to start going down. At some point just about everybody will have had it. The numbers can’t increase indefinitely.

We would have a spike in Morons.

A “case” is a positive test. Not a fatality, not a hospitalization, not even a person with symptoms. Almost all companies are requiring their people to be tested to come back to work. “Cases” mean nothing. Huge numbers of tests really show how many people “have” the virus but never get sick at all.

But they won’t publish those figures.

Hey, I’m a 97 yr old Great Grandma, who has spent the past ten years becoming a yoga master. I have a 28 yr old Hindu acupuncturist lover, and my own YouTube vegan cooking channel. IT’S VERY SELFISH THAT YOU WON’T WEAR A MASK AND STAY HOME TO HELP INSURE THAT I STAY SAFE. I HAVE A LOT OF LIVING LEFT TO DO!!

Positive tests do NOT = cases of CV-19.

Cases occur when people require medical treatment or hospitalization due to symptoms.

The news media, Fauci and lame Governors continue to hype “cases” as reasons to keep businesses,sports and schools shut down.

Positive tests with no symptoms are not a problem.

Not possible. They have a mask mandate. Fines for non-compliance. Everyone knows masks are like Superman’s cape....
