The Governor of Michigan has blamed travelers for a growing number of coronavirus cases. On Sunday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) placed the blame on “snow birds” from Florida for the increasing number of coronavirus variant cases in the Great Lakes State.
In an attempt to stop the spread, Whitmer urged schools to go remote and businesses to have employees work from home for a week.
“This variant, the B117 variant, is what is growing so quickly in Michigan,” Whitmer claimed. “We have the second most — I think — after Florida. Michigan and Florida are not next to each other, but this is the time of the year that snow birds come home from Florida where people are going on spring break and all of these things can contribute to spread.”
Her statement came after she asked for grace when a top staffer took heat for a recent vacation in Florida. Additionally, the state’s health director, Elizabeth Hertel, traveled to Alabama recently despite Whitmer’s calls to avoid out-of-state travel.

Irish travelers abd gypsies?
Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda. That lipstick is still on a RAT PIG. You cannot improve on anything with a demon.
Crimes against humanity.
So this is what “follow the science” has come to. Just making crap up.
If that were the case everyone in Florida would be dead from covid
It couldn’t be the invaders at the southern border who are being shipped into Michigan carrying their Covid variants and mutations!
Yes. Making crap up.
And acknowledging it really, e.g. “We have the second most — I think...”
She thinks.
There is far less covid in Florida than in Michigan. If anything, people from Michigan should be pushing the level of infection up in Florida.
The answer is vitamin D . People in Florida are far less likely to be D deficient than Michigan. After a long, cold winter people in Michigan are probably very deficient in vitamin D unless they tan or take supplements.

Nah, it’s because she didn’t mask up the 2 year old toddlers soon enough.
What a beyotch.
Good point, thanks (Vitamin D).
Trust me, Ms. Commie, no one travels from Sunny Florida to visit Miserable Michigan. That's scraping the bottom of the barrel for excuses.
Gestapo Gretchen placed the blame on “snow birds” from Florida for the increasing number of coronavirus variant cases... Her statement came after she asked for grace when a top staffer took heat for a recent vacation in Florida. Additionally, the state’s health director, Elizabeth Hertel, traveled to Alabama recently despite Whitmer’s calls to avoid out-of-state travel.
She also blames Republicans and the Constitution.
How about illegal border jumpers who are being bused by the thousands every day to every corner of the USA?
They are not even tested for COVID, let alone vaccinated.
Actually tons of Michiganders winter in Florida.
She is not closing anything.
Well I’ve hear that before....we’ll see.
