Whitmer said some of the protesters against his actions and in favor of restarting the state’s economy evoked the country’s “worst racist traditions”. The Democratic politician attacked protesters who stormed the Michigan Congress building in Lansing with arms and Confederate flags in their hands. The Confederate flags in the American Civil War (1860-1861) are flags that symbolize the so-called Southern Confederate states. However, the governor, who told CNN television, noted that these protesters do not represent the majority of the Michiganers. The governor emphasized that he had extended the duration of the curfew because “health and epidemiologists should be heard” regarding the resumption of life in the state.
Phil Murphy, the Democratic governor of New Jersey, said he was delighted that this east coast state could relaunch for Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a federal national holiday on May 25 to commemorate American soldiers who lost their lives in wars.
Murphy told Fox television that although the parks and golf courses reopened later this week, they are strictly enforcing regulations remotely. “This is the best weapon to flatten the epidemic curve,” he said. In addition to a quicker restart, he said of protesters in New Jersey: He doesn’t question their right to protest, but he complains that many of them don’t wear a face mask.
Epidemiologist Deborah Birx, a member of the government task force, called it “frustratingly disturbing” on Fox television that the protesters would go to the streets en masse, without mouth masks, and then go home and possibly infect their children and grandparents. at home. “And when serious problems occur, they will live their lives with guilt,” he added.
Republican Ohio Governor Mike DeWine explained on Sunday’s ABC television political show that he removed the mandatory use of face masks in workplaces, stores and on the street because he said people would not have accepted this restriction anyway. “It has become clear to me that people just don’t accept that the government tells them what to do,” he said.
South Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves said on Fox television that he had restarted the state’s economy despite the health situation failing to meet White House guidelines requiring a two-week steady decline in new infections as a precondition.
“The situation is different in Mississippi than in New York or New Jersey. We have been diagnosed with 200-300 infections per day for the past 35-40 days and the epidemic has not peaked, with fewer than 100 ventilator patients.” Reeves said. He added that state health institutions and hospitals are not overloaded.
