LANSING, MI - Michigan residents will be required to wear face coverings upon entering a grocery store or pharmacy through May 30.

The requirement is part of an executive order signed Saturday, May 2 by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer which extends existing safety measures to protect consumers and employees from spreading the coronavirus at grocery stores and pharmacies.

Along with ordering customers to wear face masks, the mandate also requires grocery stores and pharmacies to allocate at least two hours per week of shopping time for vulnerable populations until May 30.

**SNIP**

“We must continue protecting the health and safety of both consumers and employees at our grocery stores and pharmacies, which we rely on more than ever during this unprecedented public health crisis,” Whitmer said in a released statement. “Michigan has begun flattening the COVID-19 curve, but we must not take our progress for granted and continue taking aggressive action to avoid further spread of this deadly disease.”

The order affects all food-selling establishments, which includes grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants that sell groceries or food available for takeout, and any other business that sells food, according to the mandate.

'Trapped in their homes so they can’t go out to vote and demand Vote By Mail"

At the point the Democrats get all vote by mail and no effective checks, they have assured that they will win forever. Voting will be for show, like in other totalitarian countries.

The rats know it takes weeks or even months to get the courts to stop them. Recalls take even longer and with a rat SOS 🆘 good luck getting a recall election. It looks bleak.

True. But it’s always good to try the courts...first. That’s before the other remedies, ranging from mass civil disobedience to tar and feathers.

That said, I hope McConnell gets cracking on approving federal judges again, because a lot of shut-down related cases are probably going to be making their way up the line.
