Armed White Privilege!

Even Drudge believes that white privilege exists.

Pictures are worth a thousand ires. Once again, U.S. history will judge 2020 as a polarizing year.

Given we're in an election year.

Guess I guess we've got very fine people and both sides do it.

The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.

We are in a global pandemic with no signs of ending. State governors are gambling on opening up businesses and state government despite the rising death count.

Donald J. Trump is hoping that Joe Biden's distractions will take heat off his failure to handle the COVID-19 pandemic. Folks, the world of the year is: social distancing. That will be a word that will be cemented in the heads of people for a generation.

Far-white extremists block Gov. Whitmer's door.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan is on the shortlist of the former vice president's shortlist. The governor is facing heat from the Republicans and conservative agitators. They are calling for her to reopen Michigan.

They appeared at the Michigan state house armed and ignorant.

If this was a Black man doing this to the police, would he:

Be arrested on sight.

Be shot on sight.

Be tased by the officer.

Be told they have a right to protest.

Be fined for not adhering to social distancing.

Other

Please Specify:

So you see how white folks are when they're claiming they're facing injustice. The fact that they're complaining about not getting haircuts, going to the bars and being bored staying home is ludicrous.

About 6 in 10 Americans are concerned that the federal government hasn't done enough to curb the spread. Even if we're social distancing, folks who are asystematic are spreading it to those who have weak immune systems.

White guys with guns.

Over 75,000 people have died from this. We're closing in on the 100,000 mark and by summer it could be at least 150,000.

D.L. Hughley made note of the Rancho Cordova cop punching Elijah Tofino incident and compared it to the Michigan protests.

Michigan has been hard hit by the coronavirus, with 3,788 deaths.

More than 41,000 infections have been recorded across the Midwestern state, mostly in the Detroit metro area.

Thursday's protest, dubbed the "American Patriot Rally", was organized by Michigan United for Liberty. It called for state businesses to reopen on 1 May in violation of state orders.

On Thursday, the Republican-controlled legislature refused Governor Whitmer's request to extend her emergency orders.

They also cleared the way for her to be sued over her handling of the pandemic. She hit back that she does not need legislative authorisation for the extension.

On Wednesday, the governor accused Republicans of treating the virus like a "political problem", rather than "a public health crisis".

Here's the map.



As 35 states begin to relax the stay-at-home rules, Americans still continue to fear the possibility of catching the coronavirus.

Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.

1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.

Healthy people can die from this.
