Michigan, USA
After today, I'll probably be dropping the death tolls to Saturdays only, unless circumstances warrant otherwise. The state has begun counting probable deaths. I plan on only including confirmed ones.
Owosso barber Karl Manke, 77, who has been operating his business in defiance of Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D)'s executive orders, the revocation of his license, and various other orders, has won a small victory in the state supreme court, who ruled 7-0 to "vacate the Court of Appeals decision that ordered Shiawassee County Circuit Court Judge Matthew A. Stewart to issue a preliminary injunction to shut down Manke’s shop.
The case has been remanded to the Court of Appeals for additional consideration."
The Supreme Court also said, "It is incumbent on the courts to ensure decisions are made according to the rule of law, not hysteria," and called the Court of Appeals' granting of a preliminary injunction without an unanimous decision “inexplicable.”
A Friday, June 5 order by the Michigan State Court ruled to invalidate the Court of Appeals decision that ordered Shiawassee County Circuit Court Judge Matthew A. Stewart to issue a preliminary injunction to shut down Manke’s shop.

MICHIGAN RECAP
Most stuff reopened or about to be. Death toll and new cases way down. It's looking like it's all over except the lawsuits.
OFFICIAL DEATH TOLL
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reviews deaths and adds overlooked cases to the count three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (usually). Recovery counts are updated on Saturdays.
No deaths were added today.
The state has begun tracking probable cases and deaths. I don't know how those factor into the "recoved" total.
MDHHS said:
Regular reviews of death certificate data maintained in Vital Records reporting systems are conducted by MDHHS staff three times per week. As a part of this process, records that identify COVID-19 infection as a contributing factor to death are compared against all laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Michigan Disease Surveillance System (MDSS). If a death certificate is matched to a confirmed COVID-19 case and that record in the MDSS does not indicate the individual died, the MDSS record is updated to indicate the death and the appropriate local health department is notified. These matched deaths are then included with mortality information posted to the Michigan Coronavirus website.
