1. I like the plan.

You can’t be punished for not returning to the workplace if you don’t feel safe doing so.

I don’t plan on going back until cases are WAY down.

2. Can Michigan's workers look foward to being tested

if no one else?

3. Hard to believe almost every state will be open June 1.

I guess everyone will just have to be careful. I guess Florida is basically the same as Michigan in opening. Although Disney will open way later then anything in Michigan I’d imagine.

6. Scuttlebutt is July 4th

For both WDW and Universal.

4. this state is another which hasn't adhered to the CDC guidelines about 14 days

...of downward trends.

Moreover, there's a noticible dearth of info on what she's relying on to make that judgement without widespread testing in her state. What are the actual benchmarks she's using for each level of reopening? Numbers, not generalizations.

How has manufacturing been made safe for workers?

7. She's Caved To The Pressure.

I think this is going to go badly and she's now going to be on the hook for it. For the record I don't think she had much choice. What, with Rethugs suing around every corner while shrugging thier shoulders as armed citizens storm the capital.

5. Wasn't much of a schedule - more an outline of what the phases are

And what info they are using.

No idea where the state or areas actually are thought to be in the phases chart.
