CDC: Michigan Needs To Start Shutting Down.

“Walensky called on Michigan “to go back to where we were last spring, last summer and to shut things down, to flatten the curve, to decrease contact with one another” and to ramp up testing and contact tracing efforts. Cases in Michigan have dramatically risen in recent weeks, averaging 7,359 new cases per day over the last week and approaching its pandemic highs set around Thanksgiving, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Deaths are also on the rise.”
Michigan needs to seriously start thinking about adhering the sound clinical advise from the CDC. The fact that hospitalizations, due to Covid, are now at their highest numbers should give our elected leaders pause before the hospitals are overrun with patients. The vaccines were not disseminated quick enough to stop this latest surge, and therefore another round of drastic measures must be taken before the situation goes from bad to worse. Michigan’s experience should give the rest of the nation cause for concern as well because the Coronavirus numbers could start rising in other states very soon.
