So what is going on in Michigan? For awhile, it looked like COVID cases were dropping in the US with people getting vaccinated. It certainly looked like that in California and Orange County.
It appears that things are under control, and California is set to be fully open on June 15.
This is Michigan during the same time period.
The seven day average is finally decreasing but there was definitely another spike in early April. I do not follow Michigan news so I do not know what could have caused this. Is the state not getting enough vaccines? Did their governor open up the state already? Things are improving but we are still in the midst of the pandemic with new and more infectious variants popping up all the time.
I spoke to my cousin who is an ICU nurse in Toronto. She has many stories of anti-mask and anti-vaccine idiots there too. I thought it was just a crazy California thing.

From this article, it appears they relaxed restrictions too early, and do not seem ready to apply them again. Own goal, I guess.
