On The Clarkston News’ Facebook page, readers made their feelings known on Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s latest “stay home, stay safe” order that runs through June 12.
“She does have a 50% chance at being correct. I like those odds. I will support my Gov and Pres. it’s a tough job and I’d hate to be in her stilettos.” – Steven C. Percival
“99.5% of people are unaffected. 99.94% have survived. Explain the science, Whitmer.” – Jim Jacques
“I’m glad I don’t live in Michigan any more. My poor family and friends. Move to Florida. I can help you find a place to live. I live in Pasco county, near Tampa.” – Beth Miller Hawkins
“Virus being used to undermine POTUS. Fact. Viruses kill every year. Shelter the vulnerable and healthy will get it, get over it, and achieve herd immunity faster. Herd immunity is how the virus dies out, but Whitmer, Cuomo, Inslee and the rest use it politically. Fact.” – Michael Scott Brumback
“All of this as Fauci warns lockdowns are now detrimental. I thought she was following the ‘science.’ Best of luck to all our friends and family in Michigan. She’s learned nothing from this fiasco except how to wield far too much power.” – Dana Litherland
“It’s hard to keep up. We can now gather (10 or less while social distancing) but now this. Sheesh.” – Jill Franklin Feller
“More people need to open their businesses and fight the punishments. Make the courts and everyone realize we the people are fed up.” – Michael Robertson
“The evidence clearly shows that stay at home orders save lives. Thank you Governor Whitmer for your courage and wisdom. Your actions have kept my family and the state I love safe. You are my hero!” – Cathy Rush
