Some asked how did it get so bad in Michigan?

I think answer is in these stats. I started keeping close tabs when first cases were announced. Even though numbers were low she announced her first limit on assembly. After looking at the numbers I saw our number of positives were extremely high on testing. In first stage we were getting about 1.2 positives for every two tests. We had very few test kits available they were testing only the sickest. She knew early on and acted. But the earliest test numbers showed we had a huge problem in the making. Numbers aren't as skewed now as they were because we are doing testing on people that don't show every symptom.
