Michigan is in a disaster and it’s considered one of biblical proportions, and our most noble chief appears to be lacking. Really, I’m not critical, we’ve seen COVID spikes earlier than and we obtained via it however Governor Whitmer is lacking this time and we’d like management. Possibly simply not hers, although.
Did anybody verify to see if she charted a personal jet once more to move to Florida like she did a few instances final 12 months? BREAKING: Criticism Filed In opposition to Gretchen Whitmer Over Constitution Jet Journey to Florida Final March.
The Nice Lakes State is as soon as once more making some headlines as a result of we’ve a spike in COVID and this has the media within the state heading for the hills in worry. In contrast to final 12 months, although, our part-time fearless Governor will not be solely NOT issuing orders to avoid wasting the lives of the unwashed lots, she will be able to’t be discovered wherever to supply a meager remark.
From The Detroit Information…
Michigan once more leads the nation in new COVID-19 circumstances per inhabitants during the last seven days, in line with monitoring information Tuesday from the federal Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention.
The state has reported a seven-day new case fee of 504 per 100,000 residents, the best quantity nationally, the CDC discovered. Minnesota adopted in second at 490. The figures are one other setback within the state’s 20-month battle towards the virus and got here amid spikes in new infections which can be testing the capability of Michigan’s hospitals.
Michigan final led the nation in new circumstances per inhabitants within the spring throughout a surge that peaked in April. It stays unclear how lengthy the newest surge will final and the way it will have an effect on well being care employees who’ve been coping with the pandemic since March 2020.
So the place is Whitmer?
Final 12 months at the moment, she had “inspired” the Michigan Division of Well being and Human Providers to concern a mandate that eating places needed to shut earlier than a sure time and will solely maintain so many individuals. This 12 months, with a possible bigger spike in progress, she is presently in California on state enterprise and probably spreading COVID. In fact, she is “vaccinated” however we all know how these breakthrough circumstances maintain popping up.
Now, some on the left would possibly say that her energy to implement ineffective COVID mandates was stripped away from her final 12 months, however that isn’t the case as I level to above and touched on final 12 months right here at Purple State.

The legislation that she used was eradicated because it was a bit draconian and naturally, she abused it, so it was axed by a citizen-led petition right here within the state. Nevertheless, she did use the MDHHS, as I discussed above, to concern office orders, very like the Biden admin tried to do nationally to get round her lack of energy. The state GOP threw a mood tantrum however by no means acted to curb that energy by one thing so simple as slicing future funding to stated division.
So, is the Governor going to make use of her particular powers to SAVE LIVES this time by limiting how lengthy a restaurant can keep open? Everyone knows that COVID has a late-night curfew!!
As soon as once more from the Det Information…
Whitmer’s spokesman Bobby Leddy gave no indication this week that the governor’s administration will use its emergency powers to intervene.
“We proceed to encourage Michiganders to get vaccinated as that is the easiest way to maintain individuals protected and make sure that companies and faculties can safely function,” Leddy stated Monday about Whitmer’s response to the surging COVID-19 numbers.
“The overwhelming majority of Michiganders have finished the proper factor to guard themselves and their households by getting vaccinated, carrying a masks in indoor gatherings, getting examined and quarantining after publicity, or staying residence if feeling unwell.
“For many who aren’t vaccinated, it’s much more vital to take these scientifically confirmed precautions to cut back the chance of catching the virus and reduce attainable signs within the occasion of publicity. All of us have the instruments at our disposal to gradual the unfold and maintain ourselves protected.”
Rattling odd.
So why in hades would she not from her cozy workplace name up her director at MDHHS and make a suggestion that might save the entire state? Let me take a barely not likely giant leap with this guess.
She is up for reelection in a mere 355 days and she or he simply noticed what occurred out east a few weeks in the past in New Jersey and Virginia. These mandates saving the CHILDREN and SENIORS or every other group you possibly can consider aren’t definitely worth the headache till subsequent November.
Only a hunch I’ve.
President Joe Biden was right here in Michigan yesterday zipping round in an electrical automobile and the Governor was on official enterprise in one other state. Governors of the identical get together virtually NEVER miss a chance to hold with a POTUS whereas on their turf and she or he hopped a aircraft to get away from the mess that’s Joe Biden and the touring clown present that’s his presidency.
Having watched politicians for 30 years cowl their soon-to-be-on-ballot rear ends, I’m considering that is extra probably than not the explanation why we’re not even being threatened with a lockdown. Being locked down will make individuals much less inclined to vote for you.
Odd how that works, isn’t it?
