Michigan Shows Why Managing The COVID-19 Endgame Is So Hard
Americans are really quite done with the pandemic, but it s not over yet.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmerresponded to her state’s soaringCOVID-19 caseloads on Friday by calling for a two-week, voluntary return to more social distancing. “There’s a light at the end of the tunnel,” she said, highlighting the state’s progress at vaccination. “I want to get back to normal as much as everyone.”
The steps are Whitmer’s first major actions since the state became the epicenter of a new COVID-19 wave spreading through parts of the U.S. No state has more people getting sick with the coronavirus every day. Crowded inpatient facilities are forcing hospitals to delay elective surgeries again.
