Statewide Stay at Home Order is the Wrong Treatment for Michigan
The following arrived from the RNC Committeeman form Michigan Dr Rob Steele, a cardiologist, (and presumed expert.)
Note: Data from April 26 and 27
In my home state of Michigan, and around the country political battles and protests have proliferated regarding shelter in place and distancing orders. When it comes to medicine,” following the science” means following the data. Following is relevant data in Michigan and elsewhere.
Patients requiring hospitalization, ICU bed and ventilator availability have trended significantly in the right direction as have the number of positive tests. With increased testing in mildly or asymptomatic cases the newly diagnosed patients will be less sick and require fewer hospital resources and should not significantly inform the shelter in place order if numbers rise with increased testing.
No, I think Amash would make a wonderful candidate, especially since he is way behind in his district and has no chance of maintaining his Congressional seat. He almost always votes for the Do Nothing Dems anyway. I like him even more than Jill Stein! https://t.co/V8kutnfvIj
Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey’s spokeswoman Amber McCann said Monday that the Republican has reached out to the governor to discuss the extension.
“The Majority Leader and [House] Speaker have reached out to engage the governor in a discussion about conditions surrounding a possible extension,” McCann explained.
NO. No, no, no, no! Completely unacceptable and, totally stupid of both of them to place any ‘in good faith’nonsensical flapdoodle associated with this Lawbreaking, power-tripping governor and her crony AG.
Besides, SML Shirkey, it was just 10 days ago you were saying?
We Michiganians have had enough of Whitmer’s political stunt and, we triple-dog dare you to approve any further extension of Stay-at-home stupidity from our lawbreaking governor.
ALERT: @GovWhitmer says she will ask the Legislature to extend the state of emergency by another 28 days. She says it's needed to provide liability protections for frontline workers.
SML Shirkey, Speaker Chatfield, you are not beyond the idea of facing a recall yourselves, especially, when the governor is using this Made in China so-called *crisis* as a fundraising event.
Another day, another mind-numbing stupid headline: Whitmer orders shopping hours for vulnerable residents, masks for employees checking out customers
“This is not the time to slow our efforts; we must continue to be smart. By establishing these guidelines, we can protect Michigan families and our frontline workers. When we come together, we can slow the spread of this virus and save lives.”
A crisis can reveal a person’s true character. One striking example of this is Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. She has a bad habit of lying about her political opponents whenever they disagree with her. There are many examples.
1. Republicans in the Michigan senate approved several hundred appointees of Governor Whitmer without issue. In February, they rejected the appointment of Anna Mitterling in a political dispute related to hunting rights. The governor’s office immediately accused senate Republicans of sexism:
“Sen. Shirkey had promised to turn over a new leaf, but it’s now clear that they care more about their sexist, partisan games than the well-being of our state.”
Of course, there was no evidence of sexism, beyond the fact that Mitterling is female. Senate Republicans rejected a male nominee soon after.
“I think it’s really inappropriate for a sitting member of the United States President’s cabinet to be waging political attacks on any governor, but obviously on me here at home,”
(A group that the DeVos family has contributed to spent $250 promoting the protest after it had been organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition, a grassroots group.)
