Still crazy that MI's Whitmer extended the stay at home order for 2 weeks without any real justification. She concedes that we have flattened the curve and claims the extension is to "avoid a second wave," but the original stated goal of the lockdown was to flatten the curve.
Evidence from other states that have re-opened almost a month ago is clear that opening with precautions should not lead to a large second wave so this is just moving the goal-posts without reason. Especially since you can cite same excuse 2 weeks later so no real goal line.
Meanwhile, Whitmer has not received nearly sufficient scrutiny for her policy of forcing COVID-19 patients back into nursing homes (which was slightly adjusted this week w additional requirements).
That policy, like in several other states, has turned out to be a disaster.

And it is especially deserving of additional scrutiny after a viral video showed a man beating an elderly patient at a nursing home given the suspect's father claims he was transferred to that facility from the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19: wxyz.com/news/region/de…
Meanwhile, Whitmer did allow up north to open. That's good, but optics aren't great when it looks like she did so because her family wanted to celebrate Memorial Weekend up there:
Btw this type of questionable enforcement has been a defining aspect of Whitmer's response.
