Michigan, under the leadership of Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, topped the U.S. daily tally of new coronavirus cases this week despite standing as a blue state with a mask mandate firmly in place.
The state reported a record number of new cases on Monday, 11,082. The figure bests its last daily peak, 10,140, which it hit months ago on November 20. The state has reported roughly 780,000 cumulative cases of the virus since the start of the pandemic.

Can’t Understand Normal Thinking
It’s spite. The people of MI hate her so much they are deliberately getting infected.
Michigan leads US in new COVID cases as Gov. Whitmer takes heat from Republicans
Several Michigan cities have some of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the country.
By Houston Keene | Fox News
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has come under fire for her leadership by the state’s Republican Party as the Wolverine State has surpassed 700,000 total COVID-19 cases.
At the same time that Michigan hit the grim milestone, the state is the national leader in the number of cases of the novel coronavirus by population. As of Tuesday morning, Michigan is averaging more than 452 cases per 100,000 residents over the last seven days, according to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
The New York Times’ list of top 10 cities where the outbreak is the worst includes seven Michigan cities, as of Tuesday morning.
Whitmer’s policies have garnered much ire from her opponents, who have hammered her over her controversial nursing home policies as well as her strict lockdown orders.
MICHIGAN GOV. WHITMER HAMMERED OVER NURSING HOME POLICY BY LOCAL TV STATION: ‘A LOT OF MICHIGANDERS DIED’
“Despite Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s onerous lockdown policies and draconian shutdown orders, Michigan is still leading the nation in new COVID-19 cases,” Ted Goodman, communications director for the Michigan Republican Party, told Fox News.
“From the start of this pandemic, Whitmer has been more focused on the political science rather than the actual science, which is why Michigan is seeing an increase, compared to most of the country, where numbers are falling,” Goodman added.
Republican Governors Association spokesperson Chris Gustafson also took aim at the governor, blasting her as being “asleep at the wheel” while the virus continues to spread in Michigan.
MICHIGAN AG WON’T INVESTIGATE WHITMER’S COVID NURSING HOME POLICIES
“Gretchen Whitmer is asleep at the wheel while COVID-19 rages on in Michigan,” Gustafson said in a statement. “Whether it’s cutting hush money checks, instituting deadly Andrew Cuomo-inspired nursing home policies, or hiding from her constituents, Michiganders deserve better leadership than Gretchen Whitmer.”
Whitmer’s office didn’t return a request for comment.
Whitmer has also come under fire for her controversial COVID-19 nursing home policies, similar to one of the scandals surrounding embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

All of that maskerbation and lockdown gestapo fetishism really worked so well, didn’t it? /s
Anti-Whitmer story....
Thank you very much for posting that.
Screw thus stupid bullcrap already.
Just open up. Drop the masks and pretense already.
Whitmer patted herself on the back about her brilliant lockdown strategy several times over the past few months.
Line I always cringed to hear from her whiny back of her throat voice “My policy saved thousands of lives.” Sure./s
Again and again the GOP legislators demanded her “science” “data” and “evidence.” She refused outright and said she has looked at it all and has concluded she is doing the right thing. Like abortion mills, liquor stores, marijuana stores and tattoo places all open, but churches and synagogues could cause Covid to spread so locked down.
And ordered the Michigan State Police to patrol to look for anyone out driving or walking during the lockdowns and later for anyone not wearing a mask. Anonymous officer said (voice disguised) “We are not going to be having officers looking for that. We have much more important things to do to protect our citizens.”
Whitmer won’t stop until she’s in handcuffs.
It is time for her to be focused on getting her boat in the water. I wonder if the marina request is in for Memorial Day Weekend.Or Maybe her husband is taking care of that detail again this year.
What I see there is 2,444 confirmed and 501 probable cases for 4/5/21, nowhere close to 11,000.
It is 100,000 cases per day - next week it will be a million a day
Her and Newsom and Cuomo really blew it, wonder when 60 minutes will visit her?
Blue Cross & Blue Shield...we’re covid...er covered.
i was just at the post office in Milford sending something out. they weren’t sterilizing the counter tops after the customers were using them. i think i got the ‘rona.
Because the people don’t already have antibodies.
