Because Gov. Whitmer will not grovel on her knees and kiss his ass, like Dr. Birx has.

hope there was no "quid-pro quo" necessary to get it done (yeah, we know that's how IQ45 works!).
Congrats, Michigan, you made a great choice for Governor!

I'm happy that they got them.

I know this is nitpicking, but I dont like she reported this outside. It encourages ppl to go out more even though you say stay home.

The stay home idea is to discourage people from hanging around in groups.
There is no danger being outside.
One person standing outside by themselves is not what they are referring to.

there is a reason why Italy is on full lockdown now and going outside is no longer encouraged except to go out for food or hospital.
People cant help themselves. Even walking is no longer encouraged. Just stay at home. It is not that hard.

of about 8 women walking together through my neighborhood the other day. I don't understand it. People just can't seem to stay away from one another.

Also, my wife's friend wanted to come visit us and our 9 month old. She has a 3 year old. Her husband is a nurse. My wife thankfully declined her visit. Two days ago, my wife told me her friend's 3 year old son tested positive for covid-19. Very scary.

Last Monday with 2 friends. We were each at least 6 feet away from each other. Kinda had to shout to have a conversation! But I think we will even forego that now. One of my friends is medically compromised.

Of the Michigan governor's mansion - so basically at home in her own (gated) yard.

even encouraged in my jurisdiction (and much of the U.S.)
The MI governor is doing wonderful messaging on the crisis ..
And your scolding is inaccurate .. to complete the trifecta.

I predict even Pence will be under the bus soon. He does not have what it takes to be a Trump knee-capper.

Regardless of what Trump thinks. Hoping Governor Whitmer (and the People of Michigan) had to give up nothing to make this happen.
