Take a look at these Michigan numbers. My hopes aren't up because, DAMN THOSE PROTESTORS

It looks like the reporting is finally catching up with the numbers. I expect to see this trend reversing, some, in the near future.

They can live their own, real life 'The Lord of the Flies' while in quarantine.

Michigan has three times the deaths of Florida., that’s astonishing. I’m glad Florida seems to be spared especially after the spring break fiasco. My county especially is in amazing shape. I hope Michigan can recover soon.

Those are awful numbers. I wonder if the Governor will get blamed for these numbers when things calm down. I can see the hate media propaganda blaming her for the deaths in the future. Even though she did everything she could do with a repukes legislature.

My county, and in particular my zip code, are definitely showing improvement but then I do live in a 'Blue Oasis', politically speaking.

If more people would cooperate, they'd be MUCH better. Of course, it doesn't help that our Governor gets 'knee capped' by the trump* administration. Governor Whitmer is a hero, in my book.

downwardly, looks like it's peaking and curving. Fingers crossed.

Local news station here in Los Angeles explained what the curve is, I think. Apparently, high infection - asymptomatic and very low deaths shows a possible immunity for the majority.
