It doesn't effect me a whole lot. We don't go to gyms or bars. But I don't like the restricted shopping. The stores that are still open can only sell essential items. I was in a dollar store on the weekend and spotted some Sudoku books someone had forgotten to remove from the shelf. I bought up some of those. I need something to do.

The beer and liquor stores are still open but I'm not taking any chances. I've stocked my bar and my beer fridge. Even if I have to quarantine for 6 weeks, I'll make it through

I am a very understanding person when it comes to lock downs, but it certainly is excessive for 3K new cases today. Imagine how all you whiners would fare over there. LOL.

Not so much. Ontario has a population of about 14.5 million compared to Michigan's 10 million. 3k per day in Ontario is the equivalent of 2k per day in Michigan.

Whitmer tried to do the restriction of non essential items in April 2020 and everyone here lost their shit. That and the ban on landscaping were my only two minor gripes other than when she failed to shut us down at the beginning of last month. If she had shut us down at the beginning of last month, we may be in the 300-400 range of cases. Most idiots on this board still fail to realize that bars and restaurants are where the virus gets passed easily due to the fact you can't wear a mask while eating and drinking. The virus looks for avenues to multiply and spread easily, and that's often the ticket.

There is NO evidence any of this is happening in bars and restaurants. The November-January shutdown failed massively and is why we had the third wave. The third wave followed a similar, less severe trajectory to the second. All of the places that opened up sooner and did not have a winter shutdown are doing much better than Michigan. This isn't rocket science. Infections are not an effective metric, and it is unfortunate that so many people have been brainwashed.

Perhaps the Governor's husband can call over there to give some pointers on how to get around that.

sorry you're so jealous that the governor has a nice house on Lake Michigan with a boat and you've got nothing but your ignorance and hate...

Did he or did he not try and get his boat launched while the rest of us were being locked down by his wife???
