So now the virus is the fault of the Governor of Texas. I see, none of the Democrats have blame, only a republican from TX.

And your two links took me to post 441.

I did not ever say or imply the virus is anyone’s fault let alone a Governor.

It is you who seems to be implying if a state has the virus it is that states Governor who is at fault.

I think it is good to be pro active like Michigan’s and shut down schools when the virus count is low in the state if the numbers keep increasing its time to order a stay safe stay safe policy for all nonessential people in the state.

First thing on her mind when the Elderly were said to be the major problem was to shut down schools?

All the blame is on one man. Trump and he is not even the governor of even one state. I cited Democrats governors who actually imported the Virus on purpose. Get the difference? They brought it here on purpose.

Actually we knew before March that anyone including children can spread the virus without ever having any symptoms.

So when 2 people in Michigan were confirmed with the virus she declared a state of emergency and closed all the K to 12 schools , all college classe had to be online,
At first she limited all gatherings including weddings and other events to less that 250 people.

Later she limited to 50 people and closed seating at all bars and restaurants.

Carry outs only.

I did not blame one man only .

You seem to blame Democrats only however.

There were/are plenty mistakes made by many people regarding this health crisis.

Now is the time to work together across party lines and win this war against this invisible enemy.

Slow?? WHO was also slow you want me to believe? Trump nailed China the day past the warning by WHO. And was harped at for shutting us off from China.

Some of you may not get it, but WHO is who was late if anybody was, and not Trump. WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

Gov. Whitmer understands that closing the scools does impact and disrupts their education.

From a local article posted On March 27,2020

We are working diligently to come up with a plan to meet the needs of our kids," Whitmer said. "Anyone who is watching what is happening globally with this pandemic knows it’s probably very unlikely they’re going to get back in school before the end of this year.”

The governor said she “hasn’t made that call yet” because she wants to make sure there’s a plan in place that works for the needs of children across the state. Schools and local organizations have stepped up to provide meal assistance to families.

“It’s not something you develop overnight because we’ve got an inequitable system across the state of Michigan,” Whitmer said.

Whitmer’s orders apply to all public, private and boarding school buildings in Michigan. All public universities have canceled or suspended in-person classes.

The governor urged Michigan residents to stay in their homes to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The infectious respiratory disease has been found in 2,856 people, as of Thursday.

I love how all the Trumpanzees crow about the China travel ‘ban’ which the authorities at the time said was not going to work.

And....

It didn’t work.

But praise be Trump for handling this so well!

I recall the zillions of Democrats all prepared for Y2K though. Buying up all kinds of supplies. i told them then, stop buying stuff to prepare for the magical shut down of the country. I said, Y2K will appear as a huge nothing. And was correct.

Trouble here on this forum is there is so many Trump haters posting. This is plain irrational.

My Republican brother in law was prepared for Y2K he filled his basement with food , guns, 2 generators , barried dehydrated food supplies in his backyard at night so his neighbors would not see where the emergency stash was.

Glen Beck loved having survivalists guests including Barrett Moore ( who I actually babysat for when Barrett was a toddler and I was teen.)
Here is an article about him.

A snip

The young company is called Sovereign Deed and plans to provide emergency supplies and services to wealthy clients who are caught in a major catastrophe, such as a pandemic, an earthquake, or terrorist attack. Clients will pay $50,000 to join, and $15,000 thereafter. It’s a tiered service; those who pay most have the greatest chances of survival.

COMPLEX FINANCES

Barrett Moore, executive chief officer of Sovereign Deed, has intimate ties with Pellston. Since the late 1800s, his family has owned property on nearby Burt Lake, where he spent many happy summers. Now 43 and living in the Chicago area, he continues to bring his own family to the lake’s sandy shores.

I am sure there are not just Democrats who are survivalists, I bet there are plenty of survivalists out there who are Republicans.

I was not talking to all the Democrats. Only the Democrats haunting the AOL forum I once was on. Those and the media spoke like the change of new year was armageddon.

Sure, plenty of republicans prepared. Take me right now, I have been prepared for CV19 since Trump shut us off to China.

How many Democrats on this forum prepared on January 31 as I did?

Sounds as if you wish Trump sat on his chair and did not stop China. And where do you suppose this came here from?

Well , I am an Independent and (for at least the last several years) we have been prepared with plenty of food and and supplies to last 2 to 3 weeks . ( We do rotate the food and resupply so it does not expire and is not wasted ) We keep at. Least a months worth of perscriptions on hand and updated as well as a well stocked and updated first aid kit and household supplies.

March 27 was way too late. Trump acted on Jan 31 when the WHO announced the major problem. Bear in mind it was the WHO that alerted the world.

I think you misunderstand ....she closed the schools when she declared the State of Emergency on March 10 when Michigan had only 2 cases and closed all K- 12 schools and colleges classes. She could not declare a state of emergency before Michigan had any cases.

March 27 was the date of the article that I posted.

By the way on Thursday of this past week she did cancel school for the rest of the school year.

From Fox 2

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive order Thursday that addresses how the education of the 1.5 million K-12 students in Michigan will be handled throughout the remainder of the Covid-19 crisis. The big question has been answered - schools will not resume for the remainder of this school year, unless gathering restrictions are lifted before then.

She’s announced her new Executive Order 2020-35 Thursday morningin a press conference.

TEACHERS' PAY

Teachers and school employees will be paid for the remainder of the school year.

Student teachers will still be able to get a temporary certification and current teachers will still be able to get their certifications renewed, even if they can’t meet all the requirements due to the crisis.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

All Michigan high school seniors will be given the opportunity to graduate this year so that they may make a successful postsecondary transition.

Additionally, all standardized tests previously scheduled for the remainder of the school year, including the M-STEP and the SAT, will be canceled.

I did misunderstand., She dilly dallied around until somebody called it to her attention she had a major emergency. But I do not blame her. I do not blame Trump either.

Great. Ever notice that not a single Democrat posting says he or she has the virus? We have a large group yet not one admits they have the virus 19.

I get prescriptions that supply me 90 days per order. Doctors will do it when you ask. Food here will last me for another two weeks short of I ran out of things like lettuce. I am eating other vegetables. Anyway, best for all of us is to be safe and follow the Federal guidelines.

I could be an independent were I to ever vote for Democrats. But I flat refuse to support them or their party.
