As a Michigan FReeper I disagree.
“Close things down” means which “things?”
Last year it was churches and synagogues and almost everything-——but open were abortion centers (with Michigan State Police guarding access points), tattoo places, marijuana stores and liquor stores. Big box stores had yellow Do Not Cross tapes across any home improvement or carpentry and painting shelving.
Interviewer asked how liquor stores are “essential.” Reply: “When people used to heavy drinking get cut off suddenly they often turn to domestic or other violence.”
When GOP (politely) asked again and again for the mysterious “science” saying her lockdowns were working, Whitmer flatly refused. Since she looked at the “science” that was good enough.
Pretty sure I’ll never see my new family room furniture for quite some time.
