Some Michigan law enforcement agencies refusing to enforce Whitmer's coronavirus order

Some Michigan law enforcement agencies say they won't enforce Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive orders meant to combat the coronavirus pandemic. The orders have enraged the Republican-controlled legislature and led to armed protests as some residents grow impatient over statewide restriction measures and business closures.

I stand with my fellow citizens that love freedom, but this may need to run it's course, and it has a possibility of being not so pretty.

 

[floridays]

I messed up ole Rat second visual should have been this

 

[Box Ox]

Yeah. Staying at home / shutting down indefinitely to wait out the virus until a vaccine arrives is not a viable option. If the government wants people to comply they should have a hell of a lot better plan for them than total economic annihilation. Especially when it comes to the younger segments of the population. This is not the bubonic plague.

 

[floridays]

If the government wants people to comply

It is compelled in many jurisdictions, exactly where does this power come from?

I understand you are not advocating for it, I'm just asking the question.

A sad precedent has been set, a benchmark has been laid by government(s) and accepted by masses with little resistance.

A great portion of our fellow citizens have no regard for freedom or liberty.

My opinion, based on observation.

No it is the trump plague. trump made a decision to let the 55 governors deal with this disaster.

Well I'm glad many of them might be coming up with something better than "Stay at home indefinitely" as advocated for by federal level health experts who have served through multiple administrations. They have a duty to say "No no no, don't open up. Ever. People will die".

While their advice is understandable given their specific positions, the nationwide response to the virus won't work its based only on their specific areas of expertise.

55 governors?
What happened have we lost some states since Obama was president?
He'd been to 57 states, 1 left to go.
His staff wouldn't let him go to Alaska or Hawaii. So we've lost 5 states?

Yeah baby.

That’s the beauty of State’s authority.
We get the benefit of seeing many approaches and learning for the next go round.

States and US territories.

55 governors is your number, 60 states would be Obama's number. The smartest guy in the world specifically said 57 states, you say 55 governors, when you guys square this let us all know.

I'm gonna give both of you a hand.
There are 100 Senators in the US Senate, each state is allocated two Senators and each has one governor.

Do the math.

There was a better plan. A certain administration decided to ignore it and eliminate it’s structure.

Will you be glad when the infections spike again?

 

[Old Man Jingles]

There was a pre-existing plan.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Will you be glad when the infections spike again?

Will you be disappointed if they don’t?

 

[bbsam]

Will you be disappointed if they don’t?

Yes but not for completely political reasons.

This country is woefully unprepared for these infections and the healthcare system needs to be revamped. There is no way that an infection should cause this kind of mayhem. And we close down TO PROTECT THE FRAGILE HEALTHCARE system?!?
But we’ll never do anything until there comes a time when we’re stepping over the wheezing half dead in the streets.

Feeling disgusted today?

The point of the stay at home efforts was never to stop infections. It was to keep the medical system from becoming overwhelmed. That’s been accomplished. In fact, many of my friends in medical professions fear for their jobs right now due to how slow things are.

We can be smart about this and protect the elderly while letting younger folks go back to work, or everyone can continue to hide out in their homes and be in for a terrible winter because immunity still won’t be widespread.

But we’ll never do anything until there comes a time when we’re stepping over the wheezing half dead in the streets.

That’s drama queen stuff. If you’re younger and healthy, chances are you’ll be just fine. Protect the vulnerable and elderly and get back to work with masks on and distancing in place.

Are you really worried about this thing getting worse or are you worried about it getting better? Trump wins re-election if our economy isn’t completely destroyed over the next few months? We’re only 2 months into stay at home and 36.5 million+ Americans are already unemployed. This is not the Bubonic Plague.
