This is going to destroy our way of live just to give people with 1 foot in the grave a bit of extra time on earth. I'm in Mackinaw city right now, it's clear that half of these businesses are going to be completely put out of business. This is just a small view into what's going to happen if we keep going with these restrictions. Total lockdown works in some cultures and places, but it won't work here. Almost nobody wears a mask outside once you venture away from larger cities. Just let it rip and let's build herd immunity and move on. Some people will still wear masks and stay home, but most won't. Truthfully, I would be shocked if I didn't contract it myself already.

Deaths haven't risen anywhere. Wake me up when that starts and it better not be 90 year old Gertrude.

I haven't worn one in weeks. Crunched the numbers and just feel like a dolt considering the fact that it's a big nothingburger where I live. This thing kills 90 year old nursing home residents and not very many of them at that. I wore one a few times when in Detroit and close by.

29 deaths in my county, 28 were nursing home residents.

Everyone without a boat or pool is probably happy without the heat. Including me.

Deaths still flat. Increased testing can explain the rise in cases.

Livingston is being screwed over by being lumped in with Detroit. I wore a mask twice in 3 months and that was when I had to enter Wayne county businesses.

That means you had more tests conducted than normal.

My county has a similar population as the entire U.P and we have had around 25 deaths.... This targets people with RAGING uncontrolled diabetes and elderly folks who would have died from a light breeze blown on them. Of course out of the 100,000 people, you'll find statistical noise that makes great headlines and examples for partisans to point to.

My entire county of 190,000 people has only seen 390 confirmed cased, with 26 deaths -- mostly elderly hospice patients or from nursing homes. I'm feeling pretty confident heading out without a mask or giving a damn one way or another. Our county admin is trying to reclassify our risk level with the governor due to the stats I posted above. They currently have us lumped in with metro Detroit.

RIP to peoples homes along the great lakes.

I'm actually enjoying the lack of traffic and reduced crowds. Large cities are probably much nicer than usual right now.

Oh look... an Ampol poster.

Once you hit 40 it's time to shave your head. For single men, women prefer guys who buzz anyhow.

I bet the life cycle of most viruses work this way. I'm financially set because of this situation, so it's hard for me to be upset -- but I'm still going to weigh in.

People die everyday, now they die and if a positive COVID-19 result is shown, the virus is labeled as the cause. Random viruses cycle through the population all the time, we just don't go to this extent of testing with most.

African Americans are overwhelmingly being affected the most and type 2 diabetes is highly prevalent among that population. So, yes..... the south will be highly affected. I have heard more than one researcher link the death rate to vitamin D deficiency. https://www.sciencealert.com/covid-deaths-are-being-linked-with-vitamin-d-deficiency-here-s-what-that-means

That was almost 3 weeks ago when that was revealed, I'm guessing the numbers are only going to get higher over time.

The accuracy of maps/graphs/charts right now is quite poor due to asymptomatic people never being tested. That's my biggest issue with reporting test results.

Cases, that's more of less where you're getting a high rate of testing. Most people aren't getting tested, my county has around 300 positive tests out of 180,000 people. I bet an antibody test would show 50,000 positive results. That would be close to what we see in random tests, not people who "think they have it".

I'd throw out political parties and just break it down by ethnicity and underlying health. Where is type 2 diabetes prevalent, versus where it's not as prevalent.

Of course many red states have embedded blue areas that are pumping up case statistics.

And?
