There is a New Misdemeanor in Michigan - Going without Your Mask [LOCKED]
Not commenting, only reporting. Goes into effect on Monday. Mask or a misdemeanor in any public enclosed place or in any crowded outdoor place.

Even if schools open, a great number of parents will keep their students home.
With the science on masks seemingly changing it gives a person pause as to what to do.
Are we not concerned in the autonomous power our Governor seems to be taking?
I cannot imagine Elementary school children handling and safely wearing masks all day; even if they are only wearing them in the hallways etc. I have taught that grade level and realize the impossibilities of that directive. Most adults do not wear or handle them properly.
Do you consider lane lines on roads to be tyranny? Why should anyone tell you where you can and can't drive? And other people can get out of your way...
Why do we even have roads?
I'll drive wherever I want, maaannnn!!!
More Americans have died of Coronavirus than died in WWI. In a few weeks, we might have an Antietam or 9-11 number of deaths every day. But god forbid if you were forced to wear a mask going grocery shopping.
So which is it 9-11 (3,500) or Sharpsburg (23,000) c'mon get your metaphors straight in scope. Also take a look at world-o-meter and you will see a distinct downward trend in deaths over the past two months.
3,600 Americans (including the traitors) died in Antietam. 23k total casualties.
We're currently at 1 Antietam every 4 days...
Have you not seen the huge uptick in new cases in the US over the last 3 weeks (of which, an uptick in deaths is going to follow)?
So, I guess you put great faith in all of the numbers being reported.
No, we're likely undercounting deaths & cases.
Is that why all the hotspot states are matching death certificates from the last four months to add to the daily death reports? Someone who died with a fever in in April counts as a covid death on 7/10.
hey grandpa, do people normally die of fevers? Or maybe, just maybe it was due to a pandemic that is currently ravaging our country.
So you are equating having a fever to dying with covid?
During normal times? Of course not.
But during a pandemic, odds are that the person who passed from "just a fever" probably had covid as well.
It's clear that you don't really care about the lives being lost due to covid. Assuming by default that there is some conspiracy shows how your brain has lost the plot. Keeping yelling at the clouds, old man.
Stop with the Deep State bullshit.
You do realize that Gov Greg Abbott in Texas just ordered the same thing, right? He also threatened a new shutdown in the state. Here's the story in the Dallas Morning News. This isn't about politics or "personal choice." It's about a disease that is killing people and is spreading faster than can be contained because people think their "personal freedom" is being compromised. Neither could be further from the truth.
That's Big Greg to you.
Good god.....get over yourself and stop being so effing dramatic. This is an international health crisis and the worst one in a century. In case you hadn't noticed, people are wearing masks all over the world to try combating this. Being asked to wear a mask is not a strictly American request. We just seem to be one of the few countries that are kicking and screaming over it because of some perceived bullshit excuse of personal freedoms being trampled on. Like somehow this is akin to the Intolerable Acts prior to the Revolutionary War.
Try thinking about the collective good. Just once. Sometimes its not all about you and your rights.
You’re lucky being an asshole isn’t also a misdemeanor.
Not a lawyer here but can the Governor issue Executive Orders criminalizing activities in perpetuity without legislative approval?
gruden, you're a bootlicker.

They are plenty smart -- a UM and a Cornell grad.
They're probably about your age and neither of them would ever get caught spending their afternoons here making specious, tinfoil hat arguments like you.
Their mother is Japanese and from a prefecture that is 20% larger than Wayne County with 1.9M, vs. 1.7M, residents. However, it is 75% is uninhabitable due to the mountainous topography -- it is much more densely populated than Wayne County.
Japan, as you might know, is awfully close to China.
They masked-up, took social distancing seriously, and have a great contact tracing program in place and have only had 20 CV cases and no deaths.
I'll cop to being an ass (you deserve it, though) when you face up to the fact that you and yours are idiots. My wife is trapped in Japan and can't spend the summer here due to Covidiots like you who have made this country a leper colony. So, yeah, I take it personally.
It concerns me that you have any input whatsoever into educating children.

The school district I pay taxes to is widely considered to be the best public school system in the state. I have friends who have kids in those schools and they said that the online learning program that started in March and continued until June was a complete mess that ultimately most kids, parents, and even their teachers just completely gave up on. If a kid is getting credits toward graduation without actually learning much, he or she is going to pay for that down the road when the subject matter gets harder.

School districts were given very little notice to create and modify curriculum and teaching methodology to suit online learning. It was unavoidably going to be sub par under the circumstances. I can't speak for other districts, but ours is now much better prepared to provide academic rigor and support accountability should we have to return to online learning.

A few things.
Teachers for the most part are very eager to get back to work safely. The community will play a huge role in whether or not this can be done.
Teachers have been working their asses off to adapt to online learning throughout the Summer. My fiance spends time daily working on online resources in the event we have to return to virtual learning.
What does teachers having to adapt to the pandemic have to do with your job? I'm sorry you lost your job, but I promise you my colleagues and I had nothing to do with it.
Teachers are frequently scapegoated for society's woes and it gets incredibly tiresome.
