This lady ruined her political career for the State of Michigan. embarrassing.Michigan Residents Sue Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over Coronavirus Executive Order
Attorney David Helm is representing four Michigan residents in federal court who are suing Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over her executive order, arguing that it violates the First and Fifth Amendments of the Constitution.
These residents are arguing that her order to make businesses shut down and ban travel to private homes and freely associate with one another violates the Constitution.
“It’s taking a sledgehammer to an ant,” Helm told WJBK. “We believe it is over-broad and over-reaching. There is a way to do it appropriately without infringing on Constitutional rights like the governor has.”
The governor’s press secretary told WJBK that the office is not commenting on pending litigation. Whitmer doubled-down on her stay-at-home order, saying that it was the only way to contain the spread of the virus.
There is a lawsuit also being filed at the state level.

SIAP but you gotta wonder why they are doing this. Does it trigger some Federal funding? It seems if we want to really understand the disease implications you don't just add people to the death toll without at least confirming they had the Rona

NYC Adds 3,800 Probable Virus Victims to Death Toll
Freddi Goldstein, press secretary to Mayor Bill de Blasio, said Tuesday that the data include at-home deaths of people suspected of having Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. That judgment is based on reported symptoms including cough, fever and shortness of breath.
California mayor says he'll resign after comparing Trump backers to KKK: report
The mayor of a Northern California city said this week that he'll step down after posting social media messages comparing supporters of President Trump to members of the Ku Klux Klan, a report said.
Angry residents in Auburn, about 33 miles northeast of Sacramento, confronted Mayor William Kirby during a city council meeting conducted by video because of coronavirus concerns, FOX 40 of Sacramento reported.
Kirby appeared remorseful as he addressed the council and residents, the report said.
In one of the posts, the mayor -- who is also a physician -- shared a photo of a Ku Klux Klan hood, with the caption, “Good news for Trump supporters is that most of them already have masks,” the report said. The post was later taken down.
My understanding is that if the death certificate lists COVID or probable COVID then they are going to count it. Before they only counted if there was also a positive test.
The CDC wants the death certificate to say probable COVID if the examiner thinks it likely was even if there isn’t a test - that is standard procedure. What isn’t clear to me is if the CDC will actually certify these in their official tally.
If no test was given and the person who died was in a home with people that ultimately test positive (in nearby proximity) then I’m definitely ok with it. If it is just - well they had a cough - then I’m not as comfortable for sure.
So in some ways you could say they were being conservative before and not counting deaths that the examiner said were COVID. Or you can say they are liberal now.
My preference would be to track deaths without a positive test (but where COD is listed as COVID) separately in a Probable Deaths category. My even bigger preference would be that they take a test on the deceased or at least collect blood.

Dateline, Birmingham. Local perverted college faculty professor brought up on obscenity and sexual harassment charges. When the deviant was asked to account for his behavior, he said, "they're all adults". As he was dragged away in handcuffs wearing a tattered bathrobe to an awaiting police cruiser, he was clearly heard repeating, "that's...just...like...your opinion, man".I tend to be a stroller - they're all adults
