WASHINGTON — The Biden administration and Michigan’s Democratic governor are locked in an increasingly tense standoff over the state’s worst-in-the-nation coronavirus outbreak, with a top federal health official on Monday urging the governor to lock down her state. As the governor, Gretchen Whitmer, publicly called again for a surge of vaccine supply, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at a White House news conference that securing extra doses was not the most immediate or practical solution to the outbreak. She said that Michigan — whose metro areas include 16 of the 17 worst outbreaks in

What loggerheads? Biden and Fauci want to lock everyone in their homes with fencing (except, of course at our southern border, where new COVID cases cross every day). Whitmer wants to do it with chains and locks. As long as they are in power, they're happy. Who gives a rats behind what the other folks think? Elections, heck, we've figured how to make those fall our way.

#1, I live in Michigan and didn't vote for Whitmer, but I still must live with it just like you/me who has to live with Biden's idiotic decisions.
Whitmer makes commercials for radio and TV, she's mama to the State and it makes me sick. She has no idea what she is doing and it shows. Everything we've been told about the Wuhan virus has been wrong, and the effects have been devastating.

#4 Ditto. Whitmer tried to make a big splash with the Democrats by destroying the State and basically removing everyone’s civil rights. She is a huge failure as a Governor and detested by most voters. And it doesn’t look like she has VIP status with the Democrats either. Sucks to he her.

I'll echo the points #4 makes. True, many people in these "blue" States voted for their nightmarish, destructive dem leaders. It would be wonderful if we could isolate them and make them live the results. But many others did not vote for those leaders. It's easy to say those people should leave and move elsewhere, but can anyone tell me where that might be? Is there a State that is only "red" and is in no peril for turning "purple"?
And excellent point made about all of us having to live under the horror of Biden, which shows that, regardless how we vote, we can't escape the results. Where do "we" go to escape that? So, be it a State or this Nation, we're all stuck.

So the solution for an outbreak is NOT to vaccinate? Makes perfect sense. Not.

Well, if we can't beat them fair and square at the ballot box - we must learn to monkey-wrench all their plans. It's hard to fight back when the game is rigged - start by filing lawsuits. Pressure the red state govs with petitions, marches, and protests. If we don't, we will live for a very long time under a very bad thumb.

“I believe government’s role is, when we can’t take action to protect ourselves, the government must step in,”
Witchmer is in a panic. Her own stupidity caused her problem and her extreme lockdown policies caused the population to revolt. Meanwhile, reelection concerns are right around the corner. It sucks to be a dumb democrat and even Creepy Joe turned down her plea for more vaccine. They all keep blaming the "new variants" to disguise their failure to contain the plain old WuFlu.

The loss of natural immunity in people was expected when lock downs were lifted. Do you Michiganders have a replacement for the director of health she paid off with your tax dollars?

In the south, the sun is providing everyone with more naturally made Vitamin D. Not yet in parts of the north.
If you want to avoid getting the Wuhan flu, take 3-5,000 units of Vitamin D every day. In sunny climates, if you get out with skin exposed a lot, you can drop it. But everyone's current fear of the sun, and slathering of sunscreen furthers their shortage of Vitamin D, a critical part of having a healthy and effective immune system.

So despite the lockdowns the virus is increasing. Seems lockdowns don't work. I know the vaccines have not been as effective as one would wish - 280+ people got the covid after they were vaccinated in Detroit alone - 6 of them died. But of course the state is not doing any 'patient education ' as #11 advises. Take your vitamin D, get out in the sun - with bare arms & a bare back - as those are the parts of the body that take in more it D. Also the sunshine increases the peptides that help your innate immune system & causes your body to make nitric oxide (?) which helps you breath better. Then of course the idea of the state banning HCQ was hideous. How much they have prevented the use of Ivermectin and Fluvoxamine? More patient education is considered quackery by these tyrants. Yet there are brave physicians who are advocating for the people. They recommend the Vitamin D (1000 -3000 IU) , Vitamin C (500-1000mg), Quercetin (which is a vitamin/bioflavin from herbs), Zinc (30mg /day) & Melatonin (6 mg at bedtime) for keeping you healthy.

If lockdowns worked, Whitmer's would have crushed the curve years ago. Her state is the laboratory that proves they don't. So a one-trick dictator's response is - more lockdowns.

In the words of wise Solomon: "All hard work brings a profit but mere talk leads only to poverty."
So we can yammer all we want but unless we get involved in local politics, it is over.

I wish Michigan the same freedom as Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota. Burn your cities, loot your treasury, jack up your taxes. Just keep it within your own state borders and stay away from the rest of us.

Gretchy doesn't play well with others. It was so much easier when she could just bash Trump.
