Biden administration officials are encouraging the state of Michigan to shut down again, denying the governor's pleas for more vaccines to manage surging COVID-19 cases.
Coronavirus cases in Michigan are spiking as the state reported the highest rate of new infections of any state in the nation over the weekend.
On Friday, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) asked state residents to take a voluntary two-week pause on dining out, meeting in large groups, and sending children to school for in-person learning so that the spread of the virus would be slowed while the state continues to distribute vaccines.
At a separate briefing, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky said that Michigan needs to close businesses and return to lockdown policies enacted last spring to mitigate spread of the coronavirus.
Michigan needs to shut down and the feds need to send them a higher percentage of vaccine. It wouldn't have come to this if idiots you support hadn't made it so hard for Michigan to respond to this, C706. So, why don't you just go fuck yourself.
Michigan Governor Whitmer caught hell from the Republicans when she shut down the state the first time. Now that she has opened up the state and covid cases are surging upwards, the same Republicans are griping again.
