Gretchen Whitmer has to be one of the worst governor of the history of the United States of America. Everything thing she implements seems is a failure.
She is a textbook example of how not to run a state.
It's a three way competition for worst governor of all time in America History: Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer.
Oklahoma which lifted all restrictions and mandates over a month ago reports just 109 cases or 2 per 100,000.
Democrat Gretchen Witmer's Michigan reports over 100 per 100,000 or 50 times the rate of Oklahoma.
Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado, Massachusetts all tremendous amounts of COVID-19 spread.
My source for Oklahoma had 273 new cases Friday(down from 416 from the previous Friday). In January, daily cases between 2 and 4 thousand cases were fairly common.
Today, Monday, the 7-day rolling average is the lowest it's been since 6/20/20 at 268.
For deaths the 7-day rolling average is 11.6 the lowest since 11/14/20.
Hospitalizations (reported Friday) are 197 (-18).
ICU (reported Friday) is 52 (-2).
On April 5, Claremore, OK, pop. 18,743, ended its required mask mandate, due to lower cases and no covid patients at the the local hospital. Oklahoma's City mask mandate set to expire on April 30.
In coming weeks and months, it will be interesting to see if much lowered cases in Oklahoma can be maintained.
For further info on what is going on in Oklahoma regarding covid, Stillwater Medical Center in Stillwater has seen a large reduction in COVID-19 patients. It stopped making weekly patient counts public in February. In the most recent reporting day of April 14, the state health department showed that out of 64 total cases from March 22 to April 9, only six had ever been hospitalized.
Agreed.
Plus there could be coverups and juicing of the numbers on both sides. Remember Cuomo fiddled with the nursing home death numbers in order to make them appear less drastic.
Whitmer's covid nursing home numbers were poorly kept and are under counted because they didn't keep data on it for awhile.
Is Whitmer's administration incompetent or corrupt?
At least Cuomo changed the deadly nursing home policy months before Whitmer.
I've also heard that in the hospital by me about 30% of those that sought medical care have been vaccinated.
Any actual factual statistics on that? We are told fully vaccinated people will not get real sick from covid. 95% efficacy and the remaining 5% should only have mild symptoms.
My wife posted about us getting our 2nd Pfizer dose on FB yesterday - because if you don't post it to FB, it isn't really real, right?
One of my HS classmates - who is now an RN in our local hospital system said: "All of my covid positive patients are under 50 and unvaccinated recently. Good work!"
All of his recent COVID patients requiring hospitalization are under 50 and unvaccinated.
Get your damned shots, people.
