Since we are all quarantined, it would be nice to get this place hopping again!

What do you guys think about the shelter in place order, no golf, no boating/fishing, no gardening?

What do you guys think about the shelter in place order, no golf, no boating/fishing, no gardening? I see plenty of people griping about it and the Governor on social media. This order isn’t a vacation. It’s in place to halt the spread of a virus that can be deadly. 1600 dead out of what? 25,000 cases in Michigan so far? People have their priorities fucked up. They did an in car drive up protest at the capital today because they believe the order is too strict. If selfish ass holes hadn’t ignored the first order this one wouldn’t have had to be so strict. People saying their civil liberties are being infringed in need to take a time out.

I think that Tua is going to slide next week. The injury, teams not getting to check him out in person, and how his ‘pro day’ tape looked. A top 5 pick just taking someone’s word for it seems pretty risky.

I am laughing at all the hilarity. I think the funniest part about it/them, is they laugh at the younger generation and call them snow flakes. They say they younger generation isn't tough and cannot handle adversity! Yet these people are crying and complaining because they cannot go fishing for 2 more weeks!

Golf requires no contact with other people. The bans are random and non-sensical. You can buy pot, lottery tickets and booze, but not vegetable seeds? C'mon. That is stupidly insane. It's safer to grow your own food than go to the store and buy it. Less contact with any potential contamination sites/points. The only food handler is you, and you have no contact with the public by going to a store.

I haven't seen where gardening is specifically banned, rather the gardening center at Walmart/Lowes/Meijer is closed. It's not ideal, but you can order seeds or buy them from smaller retailers. We have a seed store in my town that is still operating. I believe we can still mow our lawn, just that landscapers are considered a non-essential business....just like barbers and dentists (my kid needs an orthodontist appt. soon!) I agree with you about people planting their own food, and would like to see more of that even in non pandemic times.

"Gardening" isn't banned, but you have been denied access to the essentials for starting a garden, i.e. plants and seeds, fertlizer, soil, etc. At the same time, liquor stores and pot dispensaries are open. How does that make any sense in the short term or long term?

How does that make any sense in the short term or long term? I believe Freddie spoke to that. You can’t get the supplies from a big box store because you should be getting in, getting groceries, and getting out. Not browsing around other areas of the store and risking contracting the virus any further. You can still purchase through online orders or from some smaller stores. Just like one person per family should be shopping and not a group. Don’t bring the kids along. People who were bored at home were going to the garden/patio section and hanging out on the furniture for something to do. As with other areas of these orders it got more restrictive because people aren’t doing what they’re supposed to.

Do you really think there is a reduced risk in a grocery store or one section of a big box store than any other? If you are out and about, the probability of contact remains the same. it's like thinking that if you go to the baseball field in a thunderstorm, you chances of getting hit by lightening are less than if you are at the soccer pitch. Makes zero statistical sense whatsoever. The only way to get to zero risk is not leave the house at all. And again, how is leaving liquor stores and pot dispensaries less of a risk than a garden center? The decisions are arbitrary, and noxious to the our rights. There is no reason they could not have encouraged the high risk (elderly/co-morbidity) to stay home, and let everyone else decide what is in their best interests. If you want to take your chance, leave it up to the individual. Instead, the sheeple not only accept this unconstitutional stay at home, some seem to be endorsing it. Enjoy your third world dictatorship.

Enjoy your third world dictatorship. What’s in your best interest isn’t necessarily what’s in everyone’s best interest. You aren’t the only one at risk because you decided to take the risk. If you get it the people you give it to get it because you decided to take the risk. A lot of people have recovered but there’s also something like a 4.8% death rate. We’re all in this together and if we don’t work together this thing will spike. Pot sales are supposed to be curbside only. When you buy booze you run in, grab it, and get back out. These are in place probably because if you’re stuck at home you should be able to make the most of it. There’s no tanks in the street or Marshall Law here. The order is somewhat restrictive but nobody is sealing people into their homes. There is a more visible police presence but they aren’t stopping people or harassing them. You have to decide to make the right choice and by your expressed opinion here it sounds like you want to be part of the problem instead of the solution.

I am not a Whitmer fan, but I think it is important to get the facts straight: www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-michigan-gov-gretchen-215759038.htmlThe state's FAQ on the order says, “While the order places certain limits on how goods are sold, it does not ban Michiganders from buying any item, including flags.” A representative from the state’s press office told USA TODAY that Whitmer did not ban the sale of US flags. The order notes large stores must close off areas of stores meant for carpeting, flooring, furniture, gardening and paint. The limits apply only to in-person sales and do not apply to stores with less than 50,000 square feet. Large stores are further required to implement measures that promote social distancing. The order encourages businesses to “consider establishing curbside pickup to reduce in-store traffic” and “explore alternatives to lines, including by allowing customers to wait in their cars for a text message or phone call.” “We’ve seen misinformation circulating, so I’d like to be very clear — the Stay Home, Stay Safe executive order does not ban the purchasing of car seats for children,” Whitmer tweeted Sunday.

So, you're not banning a specific product, but you are just banning access to those products within the stores that sell them. Yeah, huge difference there. /sarc/

FUN FACTS:
99% those who "died from covid" had 2 to 3 underlying diseases
70% were OVER THE AGE OF 80 with underlying health issues
62% were "SUSPECTED to have died from CV19" but were NEVER TESTED

The death rate in Michigan is not 0.2% If you died and had Covid19 then you had it. If you died and it’s not Covid19 then you didn’t. My Aunt died on Easter Sunday after a battle with cancer. They didn’t claim she had Covid19 just because she died during a pandemic.
