Really? I live in Michigan too. Two weeks ago, my father-in-law had some weird chest pains. Called his doctor, got an appointment to be seen the next day. Had a stress test on Tuesday. No stint needed, but would have had one on Wednesday if needed. We have all had doctor's appointments through our health portal. Henry Ford hospital has restarted some of their elective surgeries. My brother-in-law had a knee replacement in February, he still goes to PT three times a week with a mask. My daughter continues to with her therapy through our health portal.
The President and CDC stated that you should wear a mask. When we need to go to the grocery store, we wear a mask to help protect the people working in those stores keeping them stocked. They don't need to get sick because we are too self-centered to care about their health or their families health.
Can you please provide the proof that Michigan has only had 500 deaths due to Covid-19? Who is falsifying death certificates? I'm sure the three Detroit hospitals that had to bring in refrigerated trucks to store the dead would disagree. The reasons deaths in Michigan are low is because we flattened the dang curve.
If I hear one more person talk about not being able to get lawn care or flowers, I will scream. It was snowing yesterday, it has been in the low 40s with night time temps in the high 20s. In Michigan, we don't plant our dang flowers until at least May 10 or so to make sure there is no frost. If you need seeds to start something in your house, order them online! I have an appointment with the Greenhouse I always get my flowers from (local Mom and Pop place) for mid May. Gosh, went on their website, made an appointment and I get to have the place all to myself for one hour to pick up my flowers. It is amazing the things people can think of to keep everyone safe and run a business. Who says you can't cut your neighbors lawn and who is calling the police if you do?? No one is and no one has a problem with you cutting your elderly neighbors lawn cause her lawn service can't right now. The reason they don't want lawnscapers or construction workers doing work is because Miss Dig will not come out and mark lines. You can't go digging in the ground unless you know where lines are without someone getting hurt or killed.
Yes, those people protesting in Lansing last week were covidiots. My only hope is they don't pass their sickness around to some poor innocent person who was doing the right thing to keep everyone safe.
