They should be moved to 1/3 capacity on Monday, and then 50% on March 1. If things are still stable, go to 2/3 capacity on April 1, then full capacity May 1.

If the hospitalizations/ death rates start climbing, freeze and delay the capacity increases until you hit stability again.
At this point things are a little out of control in Lansing.

Dare we say they are being overly conservative?
The MRLA says it should be at 50%, moving toward 100%

It has been three weeks and there are 635 cases this Saturday. Restaurants never should have been closed.
Thank Gretchen because she's the reason that number is low. I have noticed extra panels in stores lately in the last month which I am sure is helping as is the vaccination effort.

No, she's not. She doesn't belong advising (and failing) Justin Trudeau on how to run a lemonade stand.

The secret 25% of capacity extension for another month stinks to high heaven.
