You just can't fool Mother Nature.
Last Thursday, another moronic protest occurred at the Michigan State Capitol to open up the state. Thankfully, it rained all day in Lansing and only 100 douchebags showed up. It didn't them much that the Capitol was closed, so they couldn't go in with their guns, Confederate flags and pure idiocy.
Sadly, those nudniks were active yesterday here in Grand Rapids at Rosa Parks Circle downtown. Yes, nothing like watching Confederate flags being waved at a place named for a Civil Rights icon who broke this nation's segregation barriers.
But not long before these pricks started to scream about the lady taking der jerbs, Governor Gretchen Whitmer revealed a huge part of her plan to reopen the state. On Friday, restaurants and retail jobs in the entire Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan will be allowed to reopen at 50% capacity. Customers must be six feet apart and employees must wear face masks.
But for those goobers, it's not enough.
Under Whitmer's Michigan Economic Recovery Council, a restaurant can reopen in Manistee, but not Ludington in the next county south. A nonessential business can serve customers in Roscommon, but not West Branch, which is in the next county east.
So, what do those pricks want? They want ALL of Michigan to reopen! They think that it's unconstitutional that one type of business can stay open in one part of the state while that same business has to stay shuttered. Gee, maybe it's because they're in an area where there's a lot of COVID-19 cases!
As many of you longtime readers know, I grew up in Antrim County, pop. 23,000. On the way to school, my bus passed a TON of houses on my rural route. Many of those houses were the Summer homes for the snowbirds who lived in Florida for the Winter. As a matter of fact, three of the kids who were picked up lived in a house owned by their wealthy grandparents in Chicago. Their parents didn't even work, though their blind father was a gifted pianist and piano tuner. As-is, Antrim County has very few jobs and PLENTY of social distancing. Tourism is important to the region. However, Munson Medical Center in Traverse City is the only really good hospital in the area. True, there's smaller hospitals in towns like Petoskey, Cadillac and Kalkaska. However, if you get COVID-19 and you need a trip to the ER, good luck. These smaller hospitals are only good for slapping on a Band-Aid and not much else. Today in Traverse City, part of a bank building under construction collapsed and several people got hurt. If Munson was loaded with COVID-19 patients, they'd be screwed.
I'm happy that COVID-19 cases are coming down here in Michigan. However, there's still a ways to go. I suspect that by mid-June, the disease will be mostly gone. That's only if people stay at home, wash their hands and wear a mask. Plus, the virus won't last long in hot heat, which is why very few people in China are now getting infected. Summer's around the corner and I hope that once it's gone, it stays gone. And if it comes back, I hope there's a cure.
Now if a certain somebody in the White House has a hydroxychloroquine overdose, I think at least some of our COVID-19 problems would be solved.
