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.

DETROIT Jayme McElvany was at it again.
A junior wrestler at Lakewood High School in western Michigan had been asked to comply with a state-mandated quarantine after close contact with another student who tested positive for COVID-19.

“GUYS!!!! One of our wrestlers that we donated to yesterday already got a hearing!! Right now!! At 11:30! Here’s the link to watch Jimmy fight for this kid!!” McElvany wrote on Facebook Wednesday, namechecking local defense lawyer James Thomas. “PRAY for a VICTORY!!.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivers the 2021 State of the State speech from Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA. CREDIT: Screenshot
Standing on the field at Dodger Stadium, California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered the 2021 State of the State speech. Like most political speeches, it was long on rhetoric, and either ignored completely or glossed over challenging issues. Fortunately for Californians, who are weary of his long, coronavirus press conferences, the speech lasted less than 30 minutes. In that time, though, he was able to fit in a few whoppers and ignore at least two of the biggest failures of the first half of his term: the state’s inability to keep the power on during heat waves or wind storms, and the disastrous condition of the state’s Employment Development Department, which administers unemployment benefits.
