Operation Gridlock: Thousands protest Whitmer's stay-at-home order in Michigan
Thousands of Michiganders protesting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home executive order drove to Lansing, Michigan, for a mass ‘drive-by’ protest on Wednesday.
The Michigan Conservative Coalition organized “Operation Gridlock†featuring protesters circling the Michigan State Capitol in their vehicles and honking their horns to show their opposition to the Democratic governor’s coronavirus-related restrictions. The protesters observed social distancing practices by remaining in their vehicles.
“Our Governor and her allies are infecting ALL of us with their radical, progressive agenda,†the Michigan Conservative Coalition said on its Facebook page organizing the protest. “Dope stores? Open. Abortion clinics? Open. Churches? Shut down. Local businesses? Going broke!â€
...
While aerial photos and videos showed some folks outside of their vehicles, the Michigan Conservative Coalition is asking protesters to remain inside their cars. The coalition posted rules for protesting that instructed participants to not leave their vehicles, to not drink too much water because there may be no bathrooms nearby, and to not turn around if they get stuck on highways into Lansing —because that’s part of the gridlock the protesters intended to cause.
“We can get this rally done and stay within the social distancing guidelines,†said Marian Sheridan, Michigan Conservative Coalition co-founder, in a statement. “Citizens are frankly tired of being treated like babies. As adults, we now know what needs to be done to stay safe.â€

This is why a shut down of the world is not going to last until June, let alone 2022. The purpose of what we are doing now was to flatten the curve but it seems to have shifted to trying to wipe out the virus or something. Lots of people are going to get sick and many will die, most of them the elderly but some not. At some point, we need different risk mitigation strategies that allow society to re-open or there will be unrest. None of this is especially difficult to figure out but I get the sense there are now some people who think we need to wipe out the virus or shelter at home until a vaccine is found - the first of which is insane and the second of which is naïve.

I don't think this is what is being communicated though. At least not here in Canada. Trudeau has been pretty clear that the reopening of the economy will happen in stages, and be carefully managed, but I don't think anyone has said that the current extreme measures are what will be carried through as we wait those 12-18 months for a vaccine.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
