Traveling to another home within Michigan, even to visit friends or relatives, or to go to a vacation home, is now banned under Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus stay-at-home order, which has been extended until May 1.
“Michigan has the third-highest number of COVID-19 cases in the country, and we’re still on the upswing. We must continue to do everything we can to slow the spread and protect our families,” Whitmer said in a statement, according to Detroit's WXYZ-TV.
Some exceptions to the order -- which takes effect Saturday -- are caring for a relative or their pet, a child, an elderly or disabled person, visiting someone in a health care facility, or attending a funeral with fewer than 10 people.
“All public and private gatherings of any size are prohibited. People can still leave the house for outdoor activities…recreational activities are still permitted as long as they’re taking place outside of six feet from anyone else,” Whitmer said in a news conference, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Residents may visit a home outside of the state or return to Michigan from another state or drive to a Michigan state park, the Free Press reported.
“All other travel is prohibited, including all travel to vacation rentals,” the order says, according to WXYZ.

Why COVID-19 Is a Disaster for Detroit Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a leading public health expert, weighs in on why America’s poorest big city has emerged as an epicenter for the virus. By Trevor Bach, Contributor April 8, 2020, at 5:31 p.m.
Seig Heil!
When you say ‘our’ you speak for sheep. There are some sheep dogs out there. Become one.
Try and enforce that.
If it saves JUST ONE life though!!!!!
Our gov here in NC has a personality of a snow pea. I’m waiting for him to go full retard like MI.
Inside every liberal, is a totalitarian screaming to get out!
I read it. He's a leftist and blames the previous governor (a republican of course). He's honest about a few things, like the disease being spread by the cosmopolitans until it wound up in Detroit and spreads by $11 / hour workers on the bus. But otherwise he's a leftist snake.
Right you are. Here is what Doc Abdul has to say about HCQ.>>>>
Detroit’s former public health director Dr. Abdul El-Sayed weighed in on the debate around hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug that has been touted as a potential cure for coronavirus patients by President Donald Trump in recent weeks. El-Sayed cautioned that despite the drug’s promise, the science just isn’t there to back it up yet.
“The President’s promotion of #Hydroxycloroquine shows a failure to understand science,” he tweeted Sunday evening. “In science we don’t promote a treatment until there’s solid, reproducible RCT [randomized controlled trial] evidence behind it. Without evidence, a treatment may be ineffective, even harmful.”
How quickly they grab totalitarian powers. It’s as if there were a fascist lurking just below the surface in these people.
If ONE person is arrested for visiting a friend, then we have lost the Constitution and the country. Individual rights mean nothing when a politician can declare herself to have the power to restrict movement. The “cure” is worse than the disease.
During this current insane crisis, we’ve seen politicians compete with each other to see who can apply the screws of totalitarianism the fastest. Hysteria rules. Reason no longer exists.
The public has been conditioned to accept this crap. The politicians will have an easier time controlling us during the next crisis.
“They got what they voted for — a woman who is out of control.”
And in November, Trump will be the alternative for Michigan voters.
Whitmer: And loving it! (tip of the hat to Get Smart)
She is the exact type of evil feminist abortion advocate man hating shrew males like me oppose with every molecule in our bodies. Whitmer is absurdly overpraised and is actually unqualified but was pushed up to the nomination and election as a PC virtue signaling gesture. Kissed up to union bosses and Dem insiders. Her clone Jennifer Granholm was the worst governor of MI until she got here.
Note: Her man hating may have begun when she was raped while a college student. I am sorry for her that it happened but all of us do not have to pay for it.

Whitmer is ROSE from Two and a Half Men......CRA-CRA!!
Democratic Gov. Gretchen Half-Whit-mer Gestapo tactics will end her career!
So let it be written, so let it be done.
“Hysteria rules. Reason no longer exists.”

I think this classic Twilight Zone episode is apropos of the current situation, especially the way that people are encouraged in some cities to snitch on their neighbors if they’re not following the dictates of the “authorities”. There’s a strange mood of paranoia and tremendous anxiety in the air right now. Very scary and portends only the bad. I get a recorded phone message every evening with the latest mandated restriction on my liberties. The computer voice tells me the few remaining things I am permitted to do. The monsters are among us and it’s not the virus that we need to fear:

I doubt it. As of a day or so ago, Minnesota had the lowest per capita infection rate of the entire country.
