Yeah definitely not just a Michigan thing (I thought u might have been replying to me, then saw the preceding posts)

I should have quoted Coop.

What are you going to do about people living in counties where things are shut down from crossing those lines to get to where things are open?

Go to the FB groups and you will hear a lot of people complaining (rightfully so) about unemployment they are not getting some are 8 weeks in now. BTW, have to give another hat tip to Deb for giving me the kink that helped me get answers so I could get my unemployment (you ever up in my neck of the woods Deb, stop in and I will hook you up with something). And there has been a good amount of media attention (mostly from the Detroit area papers) about the UIA troubles that people are having.

I'm glad they were able to help. It helped us, too.

All good 👍

The point of these measures are to slow the spread until testing can be scaled up to the point that more targeted quarantines can happen.

But at this point, it should be clear that the federal level has no interest, desire, or will to increase testing beyond what they think they can get away with. They expect the American public to "take the punch," and if we die... well... we die.

LOL. Something tickles me about a Michigan American calling people "bawsacks".

Imagine blaming the guy who was warning us for years about our lack of preparedness for a pandemic for the pandemic itself. The Gates Foundation does incredible work on infectious diseases but he's the bad guy trying to microchip us?

You dizzy bro? WTF? And 5G is in about 6 countries while Coronavirus is in 184.

Hey, blame on Marko69. He brung the lingo to us. I like saying it about some because they earn it.

I just can't get past people that claim all these big bro govt. conspiracy theories but tout the nonsense coming out nowadays. There can be no other logical explanation then some people are just going to follow their "party" hook, line and sinker. Just like it's their favorite sports team.

When "We the people" stop questioning our elected leaders because they are in our "party," the system has a fundamental flaw. The founding fathers questioned everything and were more beholden to the will of the people. I think that's why there were more elected leaders from more parties back then.

Especially this administration that can plainly see that covid 19 tends to take those that would not vote for their reelection. And they are making inroads with latino/latinx and younger voters. THe only thing keeping Biden campaign afloat is that seniors are flocking to them in droves.

Benzie
Leelanu
Manistee
Mason
Shiawassee
Livingston
Barry
St. Clair

The above are counties where sheriffs have publicly said that they will not enforce Whitmer's EO. St. Clair is the latest to the list that I have seen.

Latest On NFL, COVID-19


May 19th, 2020 at 3:54pm CST by Sam Robinson

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert’s positive coronavirus test in mid-March brought the sports world to a standstill. Key NFL figures like Sean Payton and Von Miller tested positive later in the spring. NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills acknowledges players will test positive when teams reconvene, but the league expects the testing landscape to be different in the next month or two (Twitter links via ESPN.com’s Dan Graziano).

While testing has been inconsistent in the United States since the virus began spreading rapidly in March, some within the NFL are banking on increased test availability by the fall allowing for a 16-game season, Mark Maske of the Washington Post notes. Considering the roster and staff sizes the NFL brings, testing will be a greater task compared to the NBA and Major League Baseball. But the league reopened facilities (though not for coaches and players) Tuesday and has seen some states announce sports can be played by the end of the month.

Coaches are not expected to be back at facilities until all states’ stay-at-home orders cease, and Sills did not put a timeline on when players will be permitted to return. Training camp has been widely viewed as the first time players will be back. The NFL is working with other sports leagues on return protocols, though Sills acknowledges the nature of football presents a different challenge (Twitter links via NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero).

Browns center J.C. Tretter said players returning to team workouts is still “a ways out.” The newly elected NFLPA president said the NFLPA has held biweekly meetings about various COVID-19 issues, including players with pre-existing conditions, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com notes. A player or coach in a higher-risk category contracting the virus would obviously become a much more serious issue for the league. The NFL and NFLPA have engaged in discussions about protocols for when players test positive, Maske adds, noting no agreement is in place.

With 90-man rosters in place until cutdown day, 2,880 players along with the hundreds of coaches and various other personnel will need extensive tests once teams reconvene for camp. Testing protocol has not yet emerged, but Sills said the league will make a “strong commitment” to avoid taking tests away from people who need them (Twitter link via ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler). Until a testing plan emerges, it is difficult to speculate how the NFL’s effort to accomplish this will look.

heh, I'm sure this thread sucks. Why isn't it in the politics forum?

Your first post in two months is to criticize a non-football discussion during the off-season? 🙄

Anyone else think that this will ultimately benefit Marty and Wendy Byrde's businesses? Especially their funeral home?

Lol...I see what you did there. Combined two fantasies to try to make a truth.

Pretty good show though. and more truth to it than most probably want to believe.

You do know how Rutheford B. Hayes was elected President - right?

What's your point?
