6. Ah, no...

Notice the COVID-19 catching beach balls patrolling the area. They soak the virus right up.

8. Beer Cans Stop The Virus Too!

That's why that guy at the front is holding his beer in the air.
Collecting viruses!

7. Add in a major league heatwave (mid-90s through next week)....

.... and I suspect many of the lakes around the state look like that today.

17. Yeah it's crazy hot here, and it will be for another week.

Michigan spiked early and shut down pretty tight, but like 40+ other states we've loosened up too much and cases are rising quickly again. The behavior is condoned by the reopening measures.

Even in my very blue town, which locked down willingly for a few months, people are relaxing, fewer masks, lots of parties... especially near campus. And students are coming back in the fall?

Fuuuuuuck.

10. I am currently at one of those notorious Michigan Lakes

People are up for the 4th, but sticking pretty much to their own parties on our end on the Lake. I took a long kayak ride and while there were boaters and jetskis, it was less that usual for the 4th. I always avoid the South end sandbar area.

I am up to meet a plumber about a possible well issue (long tangent story I will spare DU) at a family owned place. First trip outside of home since shelter one place in March.

13. they are all up here at the north end.... UGH

The public access here was very crowded today. There was some kind of disagreement about boat access, we could hear yelling and gravel. And I have never understood why people think you want to listen to THEIR music loud, I don't even listen to my own music loud. I kayaked by and it was as if there were no social distancing suggestions ever made. Sigh

11. That's about 20 minutes from me

Most of those people are probably not from Michigan. Most are Chicago people who have Michigan lake houses. We call the Illinois lake people FIPs. If anyone asks what that means, we lie and say, Friendly Illinois People.

15. Parts of Lower Michigan may be in for a world of hurt.

[cwydro]

16. Lol, and at least one poster on here has been saying how Michigan should close its borders.

And keep the ignorant riff-raff out! Oh my.

[Cal Carpenter]

18. People here are in denial just like everywhere else

Whitmer has gotten a ton of attention for doing a good job, and she did act fast and keep things tight for awhile. But the thought that we could reopen this much and not spike up is absurd.

In my blue town, people have faith in her so if she says it's ok to eat inside restaurants and shop inside nonessential stores, they're doing it. Obviously the clip in the OP is extreme, that's why its news, but it's not just parties like that causing the problem.

It sucks.
