Are you suggesting that WHO is blameless? That their lies didn't cause thousands of deaths?

Could be, depending on what it would look like.

What it's not is "leaving the lockdown on until 2022", as you asserted. I know you fully understand the meaning of the word "intermittent".

Wow! Way to go Whitmer! Your state ranks #7 highest in virus cases per million population. 43 states are doing a better job than you are.

Yes, that is amazing. LOL.
Which is reason to enact extraordinary restrictions. Thanks for proving her point.

So then, what do you suggest?

Tightening restrictions further? Loosening restrictions?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO THAT WOULD YIELD A BETTER RESULT?

No not at all but pulling their funding in the middle of a pandemic makes no sense. Plenty of blame to go around to everyone.

Many of us know what she should have done...but that would have caused much larger issues. Can you imagine if she put a quarantine zone around just the hot spot areas ? Imagine the backlash if she quarantined Detroit and it's surrounding neighborhoods, Saginaw, Flint...the NAACP would be all over her for targeting low income families and minorities.

and Pennsylvania


Quote:
A stream of the rally shared by organizer Christopher Dorr showed that at least an hour before the official start time in the Pennsylvania capital, protesters – holding American flags, "Make America Great Again" flags, Gadsden flags and other signs – were lined up shoulder to shoulder on the side of the road as cars drove by laying on their horns.
A green truck was emblazoned with the message "Jesus is my vaccine."
One sign read "Open Pennsylvania Now."


Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Judy Ward, who is a nurse, said in an address after the rally started that she was scared about the fact that so many of the protesters weren't wearing masks but thanked them all for coming out to speak out against Wolf's alleged overreach. The masks comment upset the rallygoers, who then proceeded to boo her for approximately 30 seconds.
"You're not here to protest caution, you're here to protest silencing civilian voices," Ward said as protesters drowned her out with "USA" chants before the chants eventually died down and she finished her speech.

I know well what the word means. But how do you plan based upon the authority to arbitrarily impose "intermittent" lockdowns?
