Charlie Duff asks a rather prescient question in the Detroit News today:
LeDuff: COVID deaths climb; does anyone care?
LeDuff notes that COVID deaths are higher this year in Michigan from June 2021 to June 2022 than the last year of lockdowns from June 202 to June 2021, yet there is interestingly no urgent action from our dear governor.
There's been no call for lockdowns, no arbitrary high-handed restrictions from on high, no restaurant shut downs, no orders for masking in public. Nothing.
Yet more people have died from or with Covid than before.
Of course, some of these deaths may be back-filling and accounting and reporting for the nursing home deaths that were under-reported when Governor Whitmer ordered nursing homes to take in Covid-positive patients, but that won't account for all of it.
We will note the true scandal in all of this was that nursing homes accounted for over 37% (likely much more once the true number is known) of all Michigan Covid deaths, and the state then undercounted at least 42% or more of those deaths.
I guess the fierce urgency to destroy the economy and immiserate the population is for some strange reason no longer so urgent.
He asks the rather important question:
Is there an acceptable death rate in Michigan, now that Gretchen E. Whitmer — and not Donald J. Trump — is up for re-election?
Funny question, that.

That IS an interesting question...
Funny how priorities change when election season comes around.
All we heard from Whitchmer for 2 years was (my translation) "F-U I know whats best for you"
Now that we are up for re-election its, I just want to help everyone-here have some money.
Old NFO; Isn't it though?
ccm2361: Yep, priorities have definitely changed and somehow all that fierce urgency to "fix the damn roads" and "save" everyone from Covid has dissipated, and now she just wants to buy votes with other people's money.
