I know people have said variants are responsible but aren't the variants everywhere now? Expand They may have a higher amount of variant spread than other states, and the variants do seem to be more contagious. There's also speculation that there are greater numbers of people there who hadn't been exposed to covid (MI cases per million are on the lower end, and their testing rates have not been super low compared to other states).

Hoosier Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Per worldometers, Michigan is 41 in cases per million and 22 in tests per million, so it's not like they have run an unusually low amount of tests there.

Malacka11 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 "Vaccines are our path to normality", said Fauci, according to the Fox "News" host. Okay. Great. Given that we haven't actually reached our vaccination threshold yet, I fail to see why Fauci saying that even people who are currently vaccinated shouldn't dine indoors is so contrarian. Conservatives keep bitching and moaning over Fauci "moving the goalposts", which is amusing as even that phrase implies that there is some sort of argument, with two sides, taking place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malacka11 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 P.S. a quick quote from Fauci himself in response to the jack-offs that say his opinions "change" too much. "If you change with the data," he said, "you’re not flip flopping." What a bunch of goobers the anti-Fauci crew is. Seriously.
