Bee-otched For: bitching at Whitmer... again
----
We thought it would be over by now.
But dammit, COVID-19 is still a reality.
Just today alone in Michigan, we added 7,886 new cases of the disease, tallying up to 296,840. Currently in the Mitten State, almost 150,000 people have COVID. Now, 8,511 people have succumbed to the disease since the first cast in March.
But riding over the distance, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has once again come to the rescue.
On Sunday, Whitmer released a new, three-week order to combat the virus. Effective Wednesday, high schools, indoor restaurants, cinemas, casinos cannot operate in the state of Michigan in hopes of reducing the amount of COVID cases.
However, not long after Whitmer stepped away from the lectern, Drumpf's COVID adviser, Scott Atlas told Michiganders to "rise up" against her orders. Not only that, state rep. Mike Maddock (R) of the 44th District (Royal Oak area) tweeted that he and "a growing list of Michigan legislators" are now calling for the impeachment of Whitmer. In his awful opinion, he claims that she "crossed the line" and "the list of violations is long and the call is overdue."
Bear in mind that Whitmer did hand out executive orders based on a 1945 law protecting Michigan citizens against COVID. That was until the state's Rethug-led Supreme Court cried that what she was doing was unconstitutional. Of course, the state SC will soon get two new Democratic justices, bringing the SC count to a Dem majority.
Now, Whitmer has to work with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to get her coronavirus laws passed. It simply didn't help that Drumpf's rallies here in Michigan were superspreader events, plus the cold weather ain't helping, either.
Since restaurants are now closed until the order is lifted, many wait staff are now worried about getting paid these next few weeks. The Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association is now suing the state, along with two other chains, claiming that Whitmer's order is hypocritical since you can get a tattoo, but you can't eat indoors.
Folks, I've said it once and I'll say it again: YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING RIGHTS WHEN YOU HAVE A VENTILATOR TUBE SHOVED UP YOUR MOUTH! Even worse, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS WHEN YOU'RE IN A CASKET SIX FEET BELOW GROUND OR IN AN URN! What's sad, but true is that many people who get COVID are those who've been denying it for so long. Well, if you get it, sorry, not sorry. Don't look at me, since I always mask up in public and I try my best to stay away from people.
As for Whitmer, she's doing the best she can. I hope if more people mask up, we'll be all done, sooner or later. If the new vaccines work, then hallelujah. But in the meantime, don't try to put your blame on those protecting you if your business fails. It's COVID's fault.
But, until then, MASK IT OR CASKET!
