We are seeing case numbers in the 600s – the highest numbers we’ve seen since this pandemic began,” said Gov. Ige. “This requires immediate and serious attention to avert unmanageable strains on our healthcare system and other catastrophic impacts to the state.”

Haha George you are funny. Politicians will never let this end. Over 3 people at a table is bad but 3 people sitting together on a plane is OK. Get the vaccine, but you’ll still transmit the disease. Wear a mask, but they don’t work. It’s all so silly. Let us live our lives and stop with these stupid nonsensical mandates that aren’t based on science.
Just let me make one trip this year
lol, I thought the vaccine solved everything?
Now the vaccinated transmit just as much as the unvaccinated. So, cases rise?
But… deaths are limited.
Why are we going round and round?
It’s like clowns running a gong show. And the public LOVES this. Eats it right up.
It’s horrifying that you find it funny.
We find it ridiculous!
