Governor Whitmer, I think your going a wonderful job, I was very impressed in the very beginning the way you jumped in to prepare and, prepared Michiganders in numerous ways to be ready for the COVID-19. Thank you, your speedy actions did not go unnoticed. I would like to see & hear more about each of the individual overcrowded prisons, if more then the minimum daily requirement of nourishment is being added to help them to try to build their immune systems or if the public can possibly donate fruits, and vegetables being many can't even afford vitamins etc.
I don't even live in Michigan and I'm impressed by her responses and how she has stood strong against the protesters who are fight I g for their right to die, while infringing on everyone else's right to live.
Nuna Biz ness you my friend have know idea what you are talking about I pray that no one you know gets this and I pray that somehow you come to the realization you are totally wrong
so we have 63k hospital beds in Mi, at say 50% capacity that's 31.5k free. The current numbers across the nation shows that the % of people infected that need beds is only 25%. So how can we need more beds when we should be at around 1250 needing beds but hat 31.5k free, even if at two weeks out, and it went to 22k sick that's still only 5200 or so who would need beds. The numbers don't add up!
Not to mention the curve. Our current state is almost straight ^^^. Which means as more newly transmitted cases from meijer for example being full of skerd shoppers infecting each other. Which means that isnt all the beds we will need.
it would be wonderful if we could hear the questions that are being asked instead of just whitmer's answers to the questions. I don't read sign language!
I believe the Sturgis hospital was recently closed , why don't they use it as a quarantine center ??? People live far enough apart in that area it should not be a problem . BTW , she let 300+ people in from out of state that had been exposed.
Why did I get a paper from the unemployment office for identification information? A day before I have to call Marvin. Then the number they gave did not work. So I’ll try calling again in the morning I hope I can get my money on time.
But there are not enough tests to determine who actually is coronovirus positive, so it's not always possible to quarantine them to one place. All it takes is one and the virus gets out. That's not to mention the covid people who are asymptomatic, and would not even have the thought that they could have it.
Wait ... there are 10 MILLION people in MI and only 210,000 testing kits?!? And people who have contracted the virus are tested 2=3 times. What's wrong with this picture?
It's a very large picture with mazes and corners that would totally boggle the mind. If you think about it though. The picture is alot clearer like a call of duty map the 200th time. You see. These companys now are setting up and producing the needed ppe. The shelves were not stocked and china bought alot from america before it got bad. So with the limited number of masks in america and these companys ramping up production many masks being made right here in michigan. As times goes on the production of masks will over due the use of the masks. Then and only then will everyone eventually get all that they need. I hope this helps you and others understand other aspects of this virus also. Not just the masks. Our governor which is responsible for the preparation of the pandemic. And keeping people informed. Lack of daily briefs with michiganders keeps people out of the know. Good luck people and stay healthy.
I'm a Trump "supporter" and I'm proud of Gretchen. She's doing a great job. This cannot be easy on her knowing that lives are being lost under her watch. Please pray for her and all our government.
I agree she is doing better with this, and glad she was being positive in her verbage about the Presidents Administration this time....Wait... wasn't she trying to get several BILLION to fix the roads ? If that's correct, we should be expecting her to work hard to get BILLIONS for fighting the virus/unemployment and business/economic stimulus.
Gotta love working every day that my shop has 300+ employees in and out a day 3 "presumably positive" tests while everyone is still in and out day in day out it's just sickening like mandatory walking in to a fucking life sentence for somebody in the shop sooner or later.. need more protocol. She got star struck when Trump mentioned "her" sad but true.. we're the mitten on the map let's try staying that way not a mitten full of dirt burring our people..
Realy sucks man. Somehow your going to have to rent for a few. Mabee educate your employer on the 3rd package and how to go about getting you back on the payroll. ;) it's a grant if used right so why not.
She literally declared a state of emergency they day people in Michigan had the virus. She closed schools 2 weeks ago, when only 4 other states had. She closed non essential businesses when only 7 states had (when she had already closed restaurants and hair salons). There are STILL states without stay at home orders. She moved as fast as possible. Sorry you aren't paying attention Karen.
If I get sick I want that 3 drug cocktail. She better start letting doctors do it as needed. Makes it more efficient use of ventilators when you can treat 5 people in the time you normally would be able to treat 1.
Believe me she is. The way she acts towards our federal government and President is horrific and plays politics much like her Democratic buddies she makes me sick
Again, as I have asked several times to no avail, what is/are the name/names of the predictive models being used to justify the tyranny of Michigan shutdown and the unconstitutional infringement on our civil liberties? Have the models been duplicated by others? What are the names of the "various experts" you are consulting? Who funds those individuals and models? Without hard evidence to back your claim of "emergency" you have no legal authority to do what you are doing. Any tyrant can throw up a graphic and cry "the sky is falling." The people have a right to the documentation. Why is it not published along with the number of recoveries, which may shift the threat assessment downward, drastically and is a vital part of any credible model?
With the available testing and the increase number of cases per day. Seeing stores still open and parking lots full. Fast food employees touching their face and hair and money then handing out your food with the same gloves on. Kids still going to hang out with their friends or at the parks. All these transmissions still happening. And your going to act like this. O.o I'm confused. Ohh wait. Is your hair different colors? Like blue? or purple? pink even?
If everyone would just stop the transmission for 14 days....we wouldn't need more time. But people are dumb. Parents arnt dealing with their kids right. Stop getting people sick. You are killing people doing so. Stay home. Play xbox. Collect unemployment or payroll from your employer which is basically getting a grant to make you stay home. O.o its realy that simple and not hard.

Can you sign an executive order for a teleprompter and updated sound equipment.
People need to stay home if u are off work do not put other people and yourself in jeopardy by going out unless you need food and essential items
Gary B you are the sheep spreading lies and fear to others. This is the common cold.
Nuna Biz ness you my friend have know idea what you are talking about I pray that no one you know gets this and I pray that somehow you come to the realization you are totally wrong
Gretchen Gremlin Goblin didn’t get your check?
Agreed, people need to take this seriously and stay home
so we have 63k hospital beds in Mi, at say 50% capacity that's 31.5k free. The current numbers across the nation shows that the % of people infected that need beds is only 25%. So how can we need more beds when we should be at around 1250 needing beds but hat 31.5k free, even if at two weeks out, and it went to 22k sick that's still only 5200 or so who would need beds. The numbers don't add up!
Umm, you think corona is the only reason people need hospitals?
Not to mention the curve. Our current state is almost straight ^^^. Which means as more newly transmitted cases from meijer for example being full of skerd shoppers infecting each other. Which means that isnt all the beds we will need.
wildmanfrost because this is the biggest scam in world history
it would be wonderful if we could hear the questions that are being asked instead of just whitmer's answers to the questions. I don't read sign language!
to bad she does not repeat the question as it can not be heard when listening on line
I believe the Sturgis hospital was recently closed , why don't they use it as a quarantine center ??? People live far enough apart in that area it should not be a problem . BTW , she let 300+ people in from out of state that had been exposed.
Becky Watt because the hospitals are empty and people are starting to realize the hoax
Nuna Biz ness I agree , I heard yesterday that alot of younger law enforcement are having the bluflu.
You're doing a wonderful job Governor given you're limited support from the feds...keep fighting for us!!!
Do you realize she waited days to apply for FEMA aid, but she managed to find time to go on CNN?
She is doing an excellent job!
She isn't backstabbing and blaming? funny
Why did I get a paper from the unemployment office for identification information? A day before I have to call Marvin. Then the number they gave did not work. So I’ll try calling again in the morning I hope I can get my money on time.
The grocery stores need order and instruction the stores that are open are extremely hazardous!
Wtf is that noise??
Condense COVID patients in the same hospitals/facilities, move non-Covid patients to less full hospitals as necessary.
But there are not enough tests to determine who actually is coronovirus positive, so it's not always possible to quarantine them to one place. All it takes is one and the virus gets out. That's not to mention the covid people who are asymptomatic, and would not even have the thought that they could have it.
My thumbs down is for the audio. Not a political thumbs down.
We are lucky to have her as a governor and a true leader. Thank you for keeping Michigan safe.
Dang did they use a potato for the microphone
Wait ... there are 10 MILLION people in MI and only 210,000 testing kits?!? And people who have contracted the virus are tested 2=3 times. What's wrong with this picture?

Doc sound horse in her voice 🤔
Noting on schools yet.. The kids will be going to school this summer
Rob Bee all schools in the us is closed till September or later.
Shut down Michigan - stop interstate travel. Demand everyone stay home! Too many people are out because they are bored.
Road Construction????
I can't close the loan for a new home without a job....:( now homelessness isn't making it easier
Realy sucks man. Somehow your going to have to rent for a few. Mabee educate your employer on the 3rd package and how to go about getting you back on the payroll. ;) it's a grant if used right so why not.
About time you do your job Whitmer .. Took you long enough.
She literally declared a state of emergency they day people in Michigan had the virus. She closed schools 2 weeks ago, when only 4 other states had. She closed non essential businesses when only 7 states had (when she had already closed restaurants and hair salons). There are STILL states without stay at home orders. She moved as fast as possible. Sorry you aren't paying attention Karen.
She's been talking about banning or limiting the most effective drug. Yes, she's a Democrat.
Trump put the K Bosh on that line of Buxxshyte !!!!
Most effective according to who? A guy who thinks windmills cause cancer?
You should find out how those windmills are made. I'm pretty sure the pollution can cause cancer.
If I get sick I want that 3 drug cocktail. She better start letting doctors do it as needed. Makes it more efficient use of ventilators when you can treat 5 people in the time you normally would be able to treat 1.
Like your haircut Governor Pretty
Vote DEMS out on every level of Gov 2020!
I'm sure theres a couple good dems in there somewhere. I just dont know of any?
Are you sure you are a democrate?...
Believe me she is. The way she acts towards our federal government and President is horrific and plays politics much like her Democratic buddies she makes me sick
She is great!

@The Impatient Patriot Mary Valentic Lickteig ... I agree 100%!!!
