My sentiments exactly. Although she did unfreeze my home turf, now we're buried by tourists. This is the busiest M-day weekend I've ever seen in my little home town.

Just as the grocery store was starting to recover having inventory of things like meat, dairy, TP, our population tripled.

I'm confused. I thought you had to stay at home until June 12.

Me too ... our governor doesn't know what she's doing. A week ago she says OK Northern Michigan you can re-open, but everyone still needs to stay at home. Rest of Michigan, you stay closed.

As soon as that kicked in, tourists started flooding in from areas of the state not open, as well as out of state visitors.

Granted tourism is our only "large" industry, barely any manufacture or agriculture goes on up here, so missing M-day, the official unofficial start of summer would permanently end a lot of businesses.

We went through the same thing a couple months ago during pre stay at home, social distancing and mask wearing so we had the highest rate of infection in the US and no supplies.

I believe a citizen of Illinois should let the citizens of Michigan decide this issue in their state. Do you want a Californian commenting on Illinois’ virus rules? Attempting to influence Illinois?

Whitmer says, "We are not out of the woods yet." I hope Michigan will never be out of the woods, because I enjoy walking in those woods. ;)

Just not this year, I guess. :(
