Michigan's state constitution says that the governor has to obtain approval from state lawmakers regarding states of emergency and things of that nature. When they were not willing to grant her another 30 days of the stay at home orders, she cited an obscure state law from 1945 that gave the Governor absolute power that cannot be challenged by anyone. Michigan is under siege now, even as a left-centered Democrat i am saying she has gone too far and needs stopped. The Federal Government needs to get involved now.

She was elected to do a job and she is doing it ,seems some of the dumb ass's in Michigan don't know what is good for them ,this they get pissed off about ,.............."clean drinking water ,....screw it.

There will be a “Second Wave” of COVID 19 cases and deaths. It happened in 1918 and it’s happening again. Back then and now the same thing is happening: people need to work, are out of money, and they only see the virus hitting other places like New York and the West Coast. So they want things to “get back to normal”.

That’s the problem with slow rolling the pandemic on a month-by-month basis. Every governor is doing it - wait until next month and “we’ll see how it looks”. Also, you see almost daily reports of some new drug or possible vaccine that’s going to turn it around quickly. But it’s not the truth.
The truth is that this pandemic will go on for a minimum of a year FROM NOW. They are preparing rob manufacture a vaccine in JANUARY, at the earliest, IF IT WORKS. If it works then you’ve got to make 330 million shots and then get them distributed and given to everyone. That gets us to a YEAR FROM NOW. If the vaccine doesn’t work, then we.’really starting all over again.

What does that mean for sports? No fans or limited fans who are separated by space AND wearing masks & gloves. With this new Second Wave of deaths, will people really risk their lives for something they can watch in the safety of their home??

I think the players will have no problem playing in front of no fans. To a certain extent each player has to tune out the fan noise. Now it’s easier!

Not to get political but this would be easier if the President was leading us into the equivalent of a war. Then he could be a leader and tell the truth. Which means saying: “this will take a year or more”. No more slow roll and leadership coming from Governors or lower. But that hasn’t happened and the horse is out of the barn. So the way it is set up, just one Governor can ban fans in his state. That!s why I think you will see:

1. “NO FAN” GAMES. Players getting tested every week and living in a cloistered existence during the season. Everyone else at game - NON-PLAYERS, will be wearing masks and gloves and ALSO will be tested for COVID 19 every week.

2. or a cancelled season. I think people WANT Sports now and will get over the unusual nature of the games.

The public WANTED the NFL draft to go on and it did. It was a complete success. Many liked the homie, “slice of America”, nature of how the draft turned out. I think the same thing will happen at these games. It’s just like a flag football game - players are mostly cheering each other on. We’ll be cheering or yelling at our tv.

I think they’ll work out the details because the NFL fans want a distraction. I’m not sure what will happen with MLB. They have many more games and many more problems that go with it. MLB and the NFL are NOT tied together. The NFL has time to plan this out. I think we’ll have games, but perhaps with no fans, or much fewer than normal.

You don't get it,.........."pandemics" don't end ,you treat the symptoms and try to develop a vaccine.

I do get it and if you read my post you’d see we’re saying the same thing. As I said, there are three ways for this pandemic to end:

(1) Develop a vaccine and give it to everyone in this country, or give it to at least to enough people for (3) Herd Immunity. It may be a combination of vaccinating people who haven’t had the Coronavirus mixed with those who have immunity based on having the illness. ALSO, as happened in the 1918 Spanish Flu, it appears that COVID 19 has already MUTATED. Which means you can get sick twice from the Coronavirus. We may need several vaccines for this pandemic. The other possibility is a treatment regime that can combat the Coronavirus. HOWEVER, the end to this pandemic is largely dependent to developing a VACCINE.

BL - we are probably 1-2+ years from ending this pandemic with a vaccine(s). What does that mean for the NFL? The NFL is going to have to be creative to get us a season this year or the next year or the one after that. The advantage that the NFL has over MLB, NBA is that football has far fewer games.

How will the NFL season work during the Coronavirus Pandemic? Limited fans in a stadium who must wear masks and gloves. Maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of a filled stadium. There even may be NO FAN GAMES. Players will stay in seclusion during the season with weekly COVID 19 testing. All non-players on the field also must be in gloves and masks, also with weekly Coronavirus testing. It can be done!

She's trying to save lives, it's not some sort of personal vendetta against her own state. And the latest order actually eases restrictions for some businesses.

Whitmers is in extremely difficult position, there is no win-win situation for her to go with. Whichever she choose to do, there will be a group of people who are not happy with her.

Anybody who is grotesque enough to show up at the State Capitol armed to the teeth has forfeited their right to voice their Trumpian, white supremacy views. They should be taken into custody, hand cuffed and throw into a deep vat of crocodiles. These are not spontaneous local demonstrations. They are part of a well coordinated right wing conspiracy to undercut governors who do their job caring for the silent majority rather than right wing nuts who run around waving rifles at public officials.

Free speech is a hellavu drug. Look into your bill of rights...the forethought is amazing.

[Chico23231]

Great job dragging this into the main threads.

[Ohioskins]

Free speech DOES NOT include the right to use weapons as an agent of intimidation. Go carry all the signs and posters you want. Fine with me. But when you show up armed to the teeth in public buildings you get the crocodile pit. Your free speech argument is both bogus and bull shit. Free speech does not include weapons in a public place.

Double checked to make sure. Nope, I'm not in a political thread.

I got crapped on in here for mentioning politics in a sport's thread, now I guess it is ok?

Thanks to the President, the response to the virus has become a matter of politics.
