After being told a vaccine surge for Michigan was not in the cards and the CDC saying Michigan should flatten it’s COVID surge with restrictions, Gov. Whitmer received praise from the White House Press Secretary.
“We feel she has shown some serious grit, fight and resolve,” said Press Secretary Jen Psaki. “We are going to continue to work with her on how we can help address the uptick in her state and help deploy the resources we have available.”
Michigan’s COVID hospitalizations are over 4,200, which is higher than the surges in the fall of last year and April surges that led to restrictions and shutdowns. So far, the Whitmer administration said that’s not the path it’s pursuing. Instead the governor asked but not ordered a two week pause in indoor dining, youth sports and in person high school instruction.

The state s best bet, Walensky said, is to really close things down.
Walensky called on Michigan to go back to where we were last spring, last summer and to shut things down, to flatten the curve, to decrease contact with one another and to ramp up testing and contact tracing efforts. Cases in Michigan have dramatically risen in recent weeks, averaging 7,359 new cases per day over the last week and approaching its pandemic highs set around Thanksgiving, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Deaths are also on the rise. Really what we need to do in those situations is shut things down, Walensky said.
