During a COVID-19 update on Friday, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer reiterated that sports fans won't be able to fill stadiums until a vaccine is available.
In the Friday press conference, Whitmer responded to a reporter's question about what conditions she thought that professional and college sports would be able to return to Michigan.
"I think that we're going to be in a new normal for quite a while," Whitmer said. "We need a vaccine, and we need to have mask quantities available or we need to be able to test and acknowledge that we've got some immunity that's built up. We're not there yet."

In a statement given to Newsweek, the governor's press secretary, Tiffany Brown, said that stadium reopenings will depend on data and medical experts. "Medical experts have made it clear that COVID-19 spreads when people are in close contact with one another, and without a vaccine, our best strategy in combating the virus is to practice social distancing. In regards to stadiums, our administration will continue to make informed decisions on re-engagement based upon data and medical expertise," she said.

Events may still be held absent a crowd. Ask Joe Biden.
Corona is a type of flu.

The President’s first rally after the All Clear sounds is going to be a barn burner. I hope it’s in Michigan.
WHitler is cruisin’ for a bruisin’.
“So the sports lovers in Michigan might be leaving for free states ...? Not sure I want Ann Arbor lib academia types coming to TN. (Pretty sure I don’t.)”
And I know that I don’t want them here in Texas if they want to bring their very liberal ideas with them, e.g. state income tax, and other taxes up the whazoo.
That’s a wide range (highly uncertain)
You forgot to mention that she’d make the vaccine mandatory to gain your freedom.
Will say it again. After the impeachment joke, if the Democrats would have had a “NEED TO HAPPEN” dream list to stop Trump it would have included.......
Sinking stock market
Devastating unemployment
Collapse of trade talks with China
Recession.....(ironically maybe even a depression)
Government healthcare escalation
Socialist entitlement programs
NO MORE TRUMP RALLIES
Do not believe in coincidences in an election year.
Whitmer will not be re-elected.
“Whitmer will not be re-elected.”
.
I should hope not. She’s a tyrant and a half.

No, but people; especially WOMEN, will vote for her...and that should scare you to death.
‘new normal...’
Why should anyne be ‘scared to death’ about voters deciding who they choose to vote for? It’s still a free society for any voter to choose.
Best we can do it support our side, help get voters to the polls and let God do His work of who he raises up and who he puts down..
You have to give them credit for craftiness (but not for wicked intent, of course).
May it all backfire on them!
“Maybe you’re thinking of the flu vaccine, but for other diseases, vaccines kick ass.”
Please list the vaccines that “kick ass” (more than 90% effective) against viruses.
(rolls eyes)
The governor looks far more evil. We have a look alike running for office in Oregon.
The whole slate of Oregon office seekers that I have seen on ads looks sick like that
‘People are not going to wait for a vaccine to live thir life’
plenty of people will; and they will be more than happy aiding the authorities against those that won’t...
Wolverines will forfeit every game this forthcoming season. In other states, where crowds can gather in stadiums, Wolverines will reimburse all ticket holders, and a free Trump rally will substitute for the football game. Vote Trump; save lives.
