Stop swimming upstream, fall inline.

My post was mostly aimed at media bias when it comes to reporting on Biden vs Trump, not at Biden directly. That said, Biden could try and muster up some enthusiasm. That would be a good start.

...meanwhile weekend at Biden's playing as scheduled.

Some people are wearing masks, some aren't. With a crowd that size, it will be interesting to see if cases spike down the road a couple weeks. It'll be telling either way.

One can argue this should have been implemented weeks ago as a first measure to reduce the spread, instead of destroying the economy and lives of millions. What was already a fragile economy here, is decimated. 70 confirmed cases in the entire UP, 11 deaths. Marquette County hasn't had a new case confirmed in 3 days, yet the stay home order extended. This is not a one size fits all state. I feel completely safe at the grocery store or in public. I wear a mask, don't touch my face, and wash my hands. But whatever.

We just have to keep staying home.

Negaunee, MI is a ghost town. We have mining, logging, and tourism. The mine has shut down.... tourism?

I still have some of last weeks snow that fell on top of 20 inches of glacier pack. Yesterday’s high was 28, tonight 22. Average high is 51 ( pre lake breeze of course).

April doesn't exist anymore, it's March 53rd.

I bought BP.

I don’t think people are as restless as they are worried.

On that same date, he also advised the President that it was okay to proceed with campaign rallies as long as people were healthy, then quickly changed.

As late as Feb 29th, one of the primary experts (Fauci) advising the President said in an interview on the Today Show, "No need to change lifestyle yet". If that's what was being advised at the time, what do you think the president should have done differently, instead of listening to the experts? Plenty of blame to go around. Hopefully as a country we can learn from this and make better decisions next time.

I find it interesting during yesterdays presser, Dr. Fauci stated that the president never once didn't listen to their recommendations and didn't "push back" at the idea of shutting down. The president said yes to every recommendation made to him by the "experts".

I'm not arguing the validity of the lockdown or social distancing measures, I've been out two times in a month. It's just the list of essential/nonessential seems arbitrary to me.

I guess driving to the gas station to purchase lottery tickets, totally essential. Can't go buy paint but you can go to the pot shop. It's just silly. Also... a lot of people in colder areas indoor garden and greenhouse grow and the time for that is now.

Michigan in particular with its tourist driven economy could really face hard times. I can't imagine the UP without the summer visitors. There's 311, 000 people UP-wide, many businesses would fold pretty quick if people can't afford vacations and travel. The ripple effect of this whole situation is still unknown, but business as usual is done. (imo)

UMB must have been tossin' em back last night.

My sister and her bf, who both work as RN's at a hospital in central Florida, both have symptoms and were told to "come in anyway, probably allergies".

I'd assume misinformation or even ignorance over racism in the case of Rogue. I believe he is a good guy and that's all I'll say.

Meh...I don't believe Rogue is racist. Maybe I'm racist for not seeing he's racist.

Yep. Must be a racist. Idiots

I had to turn away from the constant coverage of this crap. It was making me sick. Fear mongering, hate, hypocrisy, lies, day after day... no thanks. I'm back to living my life and watching the clouds.

I'm equally concerned about the economic hard times as a result of the virus, as I am the virus itself. Whitmer prettied the name up a little and issued a "stay home, stay safe" order. I think some areas of our country could really come undone in the next weeks.
