Whitmer orders Michigan theaters, bars to remain closed until May 28
Source: Detroit Free Press
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has ordered theaters, restaurants, bars, casinos, gyms and other places of accommodation to remain shuttered until May 28 amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
They remain limited to carry-out and delivery orders only.
The executive order issued Thursday extends one set to expire and came as the governor also extended a state of emergency without approval from the Republican-controlled Legislature. The state of emergency was set to expire Thursday night.
Whitmer and the Legislature are at war over her legal authority to now enforce emergency orders. The Legislature plans to take the governor to court.

Finding and properly quarantining the infected and contagious, in conjunction with building herd immunity by re-opening the state, is the way to make it safe for the uninfected again.

(1,242 posts)then report to the same media covering the protests how many came up positive. That would also be effective.
