Why Isn't Whitmer Shutting Down Michigan As The Pandemic Rages There?

Michigan’s Virus Cases Are Out of Control, Putting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a Bind

So what's changed NOW from before? Oh, wait...NOW Joe Biden is in office and not Donald Trump...so shutting down your economy is no longer politically advantageous!

It's becoming more and more obvious as we watch Michigan suffer through another wave of Covid 19 cases that Whitmer was wrong to shut everything down and that she SHOULD have done what Kristi Noem did in South Dakota!
It's also becoming more and more obvious that liberals who attacked Governors DeSantis and Abbott for opening up their economies didn't have a clue what they were talking about! Florida and Texas cases are going down even as Michigan's go up!

Maybe she doesn't want to be assaulted by not so friendly spittel drooling Republicans?

If I were her, I'd be more worried about being assaulted by previously friendly Democrats who are at long last realizing that their Governor got it wrong right from the start and needlessly put thousands of Michigan businesses out of business!

Maybe she finally realized lockdowns don’t work. Apparently she’s a slow learner.

She was just following federal guidelines like all the other states because that has been the plan for a long time.

So what does she do now? Admit that she was wrong? Does she follow the Kristi Noem plan? Or does she double down on the stupidity and lock Michigan down again?

She's talking about doing it again.
Not enough crime I suppose.

The Federal Government left it up to the States to establish "guidelines", Moonie! Whitmer has nobody to blame for this than herself and her advisors! She could have done what Noem did...but she didn't.

The vaccines are available and the world has been saved until the next exciting episode.

Those citizens who have intelligence know what to do if things get bad with a Prog politician in charge now. Those fly over citizens in rural areas know the drill and know the landscape in case the Prog mommy politicians demand perma timeouts like they are treating children.

They follow the guidance of the NIH and CDC to implement their plans. Notice how Trump started it off by declaring a
Public Health Emergency Declaration

Role of the Federal Government: Assistance may take the form of fiscal support, technical assistance, or information about materials, personnel resources, and research. Provides legislation, Executive orders, and regulations that influence all emergency management activities.

rural areas are different due to the population being less dense.

As far as I read the news, Whitmer is urging folks to pause. She cannot lockdown again. The Supreme Court in Michigan opposed her excessive lockdown orders last year.

Gov. Whitmer Urges Two Week Pause on In-Person Schools, Youth Sports and Indoor Dining

The numbers are rising in Michigan but in her first COVID-19 press conference in three weeks, Governor Gretchen Whitmer didn’t push mandates. She instead urged caution. Governor Whitmer says that the vaccine is the path out of the pandemic, not more restrictions on Michigan’s economy. That’s why...

And killed 10s of thousands of elderly in her state....

Whitmer could also be facing a similar scandal that Governor Cuomo is facing with, about the Nursing homes death.

Republicans look for smoking gun on Whitmer’s handling of coronavirus in nursing homes. The data doesn’t indicate there is one.

Controversy in New York has Republicans looking for a similar scandal in Michigan.

No she wasn't. She was breaking the law and ordering decrees that weren't constitutional. No justification for what she nor any other state was doing.

Yes the right wingers will get all in a bunch and may have plans to kidnap her again.
