Press Question to Gov. Half Whitmer: How are you going to go about deciding when to re-open Michigan? What factors are you going to consider?
Whitmer responds: I think the same factors you’re hearing from Governors across the country right? It’s knowing we have a decline in the number of tests coming in positively. It’s that we have got robust testing and that is still a struggle across this nation. We need some assistance from the federal government when it comes to swabs and re-agents and making sure we have got the kind of robust testing that we need so we have got data we can actually rely on. These are two of the most important factors but as we are making this determination it has got to be centered around public health and mitigating spread knowing that our hospitals are equipped the PPE they need to meet the needs of the people who need help desperately and not in crisis mode but in a manageable way.

Key in on the phrase above, “so we have got data we can actually rely on.“
Whitmer has shut down the whole state and admits here that she has done so on the basis of unreliable data? If she doesn’t have data she can rely on then what else can she be making her decisions upon except unreliable data? This is a mind boggling admission. “Well, I have no reliable data to support doing what I’m doing in closing down the whole state but hells bells it feels like the right thing to do.” I guess that is what they call “women’s intuition.”
Second, Typhoid Gretchen says that Michigan isn’t opening up until we have “robust testing.” Do people realize how far away we are yet from “robust testing.” (Whatever that might mean to our dear Gretchen.) By this standard it may well be that we all finally learn what the phrase, “When hell freezes over” means.
Secondly it would be nice to know ahead of time just exactly what the standard for robust testing is so that we all can know it when we arrive at the status of “robust testing.”
Later in this same interview Whitmer said that Michigan was “successfully flattening the curve.”
Now wait a ding dong minute.
Dear Gretchen … Babe … Honey … If you don’t have reliable data how could you possibly know if you’re successfully flattening the curve? In point of fact, Dear, how could you even know what the curve is that needs flattened if you don’t have reliable data?
Honestly Gov. Sweetheart, when you go on like this you have me screaming at the screen upon which I’m watching this display of 100% prime, top of the line, rarely seen idiocy.
Methinks somebody in Lansing is educated beyond her intelligence.
Elsewhere Michigan’s Babe Governor said,
“I support your right to free speech and I respect your opinions. I just urge you, don’t put yourself at risk and don’t put others at risk either. I was really disappointed to see people congregating not wearing masks. I saw someone handing out candy to little kids bare handed. We know that this rally endangered people. We’re all in this together. I am the Governor for all 10 million people of this state whether you support all the policies I’ve championed or not and we’ve all got do to our part.”
Once again … if you don’t have reliable data to date how could you possibly know that people were endangered any more than any other time when they are congregating on the Capital grounds?
Note also the insufferable Grandma tone in all this. You’d think Whitmer was addressing a bunch of errant grandchildren;
“Now Tommy, I saw you when you weren’t wearing your mask. Naughty boy.” “Susie, how many times have I told you to stay six feet away from Jenny? Must I have you sit in the corner even longer than you already are?” “Steve, if I catch you handing out candy again to the little ones with your bare hands I’m afraid I’m going to have to get the leather whip out.”
This is taking the Nanny State a bit to literally.
Ahh, well Gretchen… you keep doing your part in saying magnificently stupid things and I’ll keep doing my part pointing out how irrational you’re being.
To wrap up, I had an epiphany late last night. I realized that the reason Gov. Half Whitmer stung the whole state of Michigan instead of the three overwhelmingly infected counties of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb, is that those counties taken as a unit have a disproportionate percentage of the Black population in Michigan. If Whitmer had only focused on those counties, where the Wuhan virus is most intensely present in Michigan she would have had to deal with the screams of “RACIST.”
And so to avoid that Grandma Gretchen shut down the whole state.
