    Dr Lott, my county, Genesee County in Michigan had a high in mid April of 94 “new Covid-19 cases” and now is averaging less than 10 “new cases” per day. They have never listed hospitalizations or deaths on this web page. There are 400,000 people living in this county. Our Health Dept posted the numbers to the public up until recently. Now, you have to be a member and sign in to access the numbers. I suspect that the numbers are disproving the danger to the public that the Governor is portraying. I suspect that herd immunity is already well under way in my county, yet we still remain under a stay at home quarantine that restricts all unnecessary travel and trips to the stores. I smell BS and a dictatorial policy to destroy our economy.
