How many of them were demonstrating? askingforafriend

Oh, but let's sue the Governor for political reasons...

of course, governor has to keep the numbers up to show keeping the people of Michigan oppressed is for their own good.

Sad. But I'm sure some of those Elmer Fudders still think it was a wabbit (i.e. hasenpfeffer) that's causing this GLOBAL pandemic. Sad indeed.

Of course and sadly is not going to get better because of the anti stay-at-home marchers. Those who think they can shoot the virus with their weapons were spreading the virus.

Official U.S. coronavirus death toll may be missing many thousandsA confluence of testing shortages, inconsistent death reporting practices and a high concentration of nursing home deaths means the overall fatality number is likely higher. There seems to be a lot of confusion over how to account for deaths because so many people have been exposed to the virus. If someone dies, and they have the virus, does that mean that the virus killed them? Maybe. Maybe not. How do we determine an accurate cause of death? so still 0.00...% chance of death That’s trump’s goal, no tests=less deaths as a result of the virus, but we know.
