Washington and Michigan are entering partial lockdowns as COVID-19 cases in the states — and nationwide — spike

This has brought its total to 11 million cases — almost 20% of all worldwide cases recorded since the first case of the virus in late 2019. It is the world's highest tally.From Wednesday, restaurants won't be allowed to offer indoor dining, colleges and high schools must shift to online learning, and movie theaters and casinos have to shut.

During the new lockdown, residents are only allowed to invite one other household to their home at a time. However, meeting outside as a group of up to 25, dining outdoors, and visiting parks will still be allowed. Colleges and high schools must end all in-person teaching, but elementary and middle schools will remain open with strict safety measures, such as wearing masks, pending discussions with local authorities. Michigan hasn't seen many outbreaks connected to elementary and middle schools, state officials said, and these children are most in need of in-person teaching.

We will resist Michigan’s borg attempts.

Not like they did much to begin with to stop the spread. Seriously, they allowed nightly riots and protest for 104 days so its not like they were worried. This seems more like an act of shoring up the idea of fanatic control.
