Michigan could see another statewide lockdown as COVID numbers continue to rise
Fox 17 ^ | November 14, 2020

WEST MICHIGAN. — According to an associate dean at WMU Cooley, it is completely possible that we could see another statewide lockdown in some form if positive COVID cases continue to increase.

Back in October the Michigan Supreme Court struck down Governor Gretchen Whitmer's emergency powers.

"We had the Supreme Court... strike down the powers of the Governor under the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act from 1945," said Michael McDaniel, Associate Dean at WMU Cooley.

Since then, further health orders have been issued by the state department of health and human services (MDHHS).

“Right now we've got a statewide public health order that was issued... a couple of weeks ago," McDaniel told FOX 17 Friday morning.

"And that's the one that sort of changed the restrictions for retail establishments.”

On Thursday Governor Whitmer held a press conference updating the state's current numbers, but not directly addressing whether or not she would consider another state lockdown.

“Ultimately, the most important thing that the public needs to know is that this remains a very real and present threat to every single one of us. We need people to individually do their part,” the Governor said Thursday afternoon.

“These numbers continue on the trajectory we're on, we will be having to take additional steps, there's no question.”

We just received notice that the People’s Republic of Kalifornia going tightening shopping down Monday. Oh Goody! I guess after the governor had his jaunt at the restaurant he ‘feels’ we need to shutdown.

Why are seeing spikes in Democrat run states, when we are told that Democrats, from Joe Biden on down, are the ones who know how to handle this virus?????

If Democrats have all the answers to this virus, why aren’t Democrat run states leading the way on this????

Maybe Whitless should cut in front of “never that great” Cuomo and get the NYS share of vaccine doses...

90 percent of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 have such insignificant amounts of the virus present in their bodies that such individuals do not need to isolate nor are they candidates for contact tracing.

overtesting is responsible for misdiagnosing a huge number of people with harmless amounts of the virus in their systems.

Most of these people are not likely to be contagious…

I apologize for the repetition....but...we are seeing a SEASONAL RISE in cases and fatalities, and not a "surge.

The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.

Viruses gonna virus.

The only thing that will cause an abatement is the vernal equinox, not a deepened loss of liberty.

Good thing our President is going to be re-elected.

Otherwise, I’m starting to feel like I should intentionally gain 50 pounds of weight in anticipation of the coming Venezuela diet that is about to be imposed on us. I also need to massive hoard all essential household items while things are still available. No point waiting until the stores are as empty as in the former Soviet Union.

Much more likely the other way. Cuomo: "Dem or not, the hag is a dame and no dame is gonna undercut me, Get it?"

And....I heard Cuomo is mainly upset Trump will get proper and honest credit for getting the vaccine rushed to plass testing and go into production as he promised.

And Biden wants to distribute the vaccine first "globally" to those in other countries and then to Americans (if any left). Trump's was America First. Not Biden's style.

I do know cases have showed up in my area where there were none in the spring. People are not nearly as ill as we were hearing back then.

Some schools are going back to virtual classes because they are such small schools that with all the contact quarantining there are not enough people to have onsite classes. There are not that many people actually ill.

Churches are cutting back to one meeting again.

A lot of people have gotten flu shots in the past 6 weeks. And a lot of those people are being tested now.

And what does the test look for?

Trump should have done a reset earlier this year, but he decided to do nothing.

He will not do a reset if he wins. I have no idea why people think he will do something now.
