No Flu again this year?
BPR: Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration has requested federal health assistance after her state has become the new epicenter of the latest wave of COVID-19 infections.
Meanwhile, her Democratic colleague in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz, has activated 400 members of his National Guard force to assist healthcare providers in many of the state’s elder care facilities.
The Daily Mail reports that both upper Midwest states are experiencing a rise in cases as the winter cold forces more people inside, with Michigan cases spiking 88 percent over the past two weeks.
In particular, hospitalizations have gone up 48 percent over the past two weeks while deaths have risen 64 percent.
“Of 3,114 ICU beds in the state, 85 percent – or 2,651 – are occupied, according to the state health department,” the Daily Mail reported, adding that in Minnesota, hospitalizations are up 30 percent over the past 14 days, with coronavirus deaths rising 15 percent, most of those concentrated around Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Two teams of 22 federal military health professionals to include doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists are being deployed to shorthanded hospitals for 30 days: Beaumont Hospital in Dearborn and Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, according to state health officials.
“Right now, our doctors and nurses are reporting the vast majority of their patients are unvaccinated or have not yet received a booster dose,” Whitmer said in a statement. more

Seems unique to the US or bullshit. I call bullshit.
They need to look into Gretchen the Witch to see if she’s casting a hex on the people of Michigan. That picture of her would scare the maggots off a gut wagon. FJB….LGB.
How many shots are needed this week to consider you fully vaccinated? And what will it be next week?? Fools.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics. And politician’s stock in trade is lies.
88%? You had 8 last week, and 15 this week. That is an 88% increase. So whatwtee is pegged.
“Mostly”? If a binary condition 50%+1.
Give the raw numbers if you really have a problem.
FJB, LGB.
“So whatwtee” is “so-what-meter”.
Damn confeve-checker.
Is Gretchen going to just have the old folks shot this time?
I wonder how much of that federal “help” is going to be funneled to her re election?
The hospitals fired workers for not being vaccinated now they lack staff. They should not get aid they caused their own damage
goto the guvner’s mansion first & remove MI’s biggest plague!
Buy your seeds now before it’s too late.
Is that Silly Putty or Armorall on her mug?
