There is a disconnect on response. Here we were "one of the best states" for containing. We started to reopen- new case went up a bit. A bar in East Lansing caused a major flare up- like 150 cases from one night of kids partying. The Gov, rather than closing the responsible bar- re-closed ALL bar areas inside. Which killed lots of businesses, or will. Meanwhile the bar actually at fault has a huge outdoor seating area. I'm sure it is packed at this moment. Plus, the way the South is going, without roadblocks, ain't none of the other states blocking it. It will wash over, I'm afraid.
