TL;DR The death toll still has not spiked, Governor Whitmer is still claiming that her emergency authority lasts indefinitely, and nothing is likely to be resolved anytime soon.
The State Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D)'s claim to unlimited emergency authority after the Court of Appeals has made a ruling, and they have ordered the lower court to reach a decision by August 21.
(archive)
A petition to recall Governor Whitmer has had to postpone the beginning of collecting signatures until July 29, as the Governor has filed an appeal against the approval of said peition.
(archive)
Governor Whitmer has released her plan for reopening schools in the fall. Some highlights:
"Depending on the phases of the Michigan Safe Start Plan, the governor's reopening playbook, students and teachers must wear masks most of the time except for eating.
Desks must be spaced six feet apart in classrooms and all arranged facing the same direction toward the front of the classroom. Teachers should maintain six feet of spacing between themselves and students as much as possible."
(archive)
Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) has dismissed a request by (federal) congressional Republicans to investigate Governor Whitmer's nursing home policies, calling the request partisan.
(archive)
Governor Whitmer has closed, on her own legally dubious emergency authority, indoor bars in most of the state, but has also signed a bill (passed by the legislature in the normal manner) to allow takeout cocktails.
MICHIGAN RECAP
Most stuff reopened or about to be. Death toll still not spiking. It's looking like it's all over except the lawsuits.
OFFICIAL DEATH TOLL
The state has begun tracking probable cases and deaths. Those are not included here. I don't know how they factor into the "recovered" total.
Detroit Metro (pop. 3,860,000 total; 1,796/sq. mi.; 694/sq km):*
38,538 confirmed / 4,539 dead
37,615 confirmed / 4,500 dead last week
(i.e. 39 new deaths, up 5 from the previous week)
Normal Detroit Metro Death Rate: 104 per day.**
Other Michigan (6,120,000; 65/sq. mi.; 25/sq km):
26,995 confirmed / 1,433 dead
25,394 confirmed / 1,407 dead last week
(i.e. 26 new deaths, down 4 from the previous week)
Normal not-Detroit Death Rate: 167 per day**
All Michigan (9,990,000; 103/sq. mi.; 40/sq km):
65,533 confirmed / 5,972 dead / 52,841 recovered = 6,720 active cases^
63,009 confirmed / 5,907 dead / 51,099 recovered = 6,003 active cases last week^
(65 dead (up 1) and 1,742 declared recovered (down 67 since last week)
Net change: + 717 active cases since last Saturday.^
Normal Michigan Death Rate: 271 per day.**
Death toll doubled since: April 23.
State Government site, daily - archive;
State Gov site, total, includes breakdowns by sex, age, race and ethnicity - archive is useless after redesign.
*Here defined as the City of Detroit, and Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne Counties, minus state and federal prisoners, who are not counted towards any county's cases, but are kept in categories of their own.
** As of 2018.
^Here calculated based on confirmed cases and deaths only.
One Ann Arbor man allegedly killed by his roommate in a Corona-related dispute (archive). The suspect has been released from custody while the investigation continues (archive).
One Flint security guard allegedly murdered for telling a woman that her daughter needed to wear a mask in a dollar store. Multiple suspects are in custody (archive, A&N thread).
ETA: Graph I've been keeping since April.

Ignoring all the other draconian insanity, there's literally no way that can work in any school on the planet. My high school was so crowded I had to literally shove my way to class if the distance was far enough, and this was in a well-funded upper-middle-class suburb.

Goddamn, the bitch isn't even hiding how much of a dictator she's become since this shit show started.
And unless they take a certain number of students in at a time (fat chance of that happening, parents would be in an uproar over their children not getting enough of their education) or hire any jackass off the streets as teachers, there's no way in hell they'll be able to make the social distancing work in schools. There simply aren't enough teachers and class rooms to accommodate that ridiculous mandate, and good luck trying to force students to stay away from each other.
The state governments dragging their feet with reopenings is going to suck ass and swallow, more so when they use "spikes" as an excuse to shut everything down again. Should these practices utterly tank the economy into depression levels, the governors will be praying to only get voted out of office.

I cannot imagine how schools are supposed to function. Do they really think that they can keep a bunch of kids wearing masks and washing their hands while not getting in each other's personal space or touching each other's supplies? I hope schools get extra money to buy booze for the teacher's lounge, they're gonna need it.

The mayor of Cleveland signed an executive order mandating masks in public. Gov DeWine has been encouraging all cities to mandate masks. Ohio State will also require masks at all times on campus. Dewine has also instituted a corona alert level much like the old DHS terror alert system. At the highest level shit closes down again
Gotta love how every level is "public emergency"

They deserve a bullet to the brain, not only for this but because they're actively encouraging a revolution because it's the right side doing it. Fucking niggers need to find out who'd really wind up dead in a coup.

They're really going to drag this farce out until a vaccine is produced, aren't they? All over what amounted to a bad flu.
More than anything, I fear the precedence this sends for future flu seasons and the "expert's" response to them.

My idiot friends who I called hypocrites before have decided now they're going to wear masks all the time. Also demanding I wear one for the three of us grilling at one's place tomorrow and I don't feel like kicking off a big fight over it. If Dewine or Fauci said to kill yourself because corona turned into the t virus they fucking would
Edit: I'm sure that if us peasants vote correctly and install Biden things will turn towards miraculous recovery but in ways that somehow benefit China (and probably Hunter Biden too)
You should get new friends.

Yeah, "vaccine." There won't be any vaccine (corona type viruses are notoriously impossible to get a consistent vaccination against due to their propensity to mutate frequently into strains that ignore vaccinations, major reason why the common cold still exists despite all this time) just a placebo that everyone will be required by law to get if they want to do anything in society ever again, and there may or may not be a nice little Mark of the Beast chip involved.
I really, really hope March me was right about this. I will actually kill myself if there hasn't been any sort of backlash by 2025.

There’s no vaccine against the cold because the benefit doesn’t outweigh the effort and risk. Colds are caused by a few different virus families and there are probably 200+ strains separate enough to need slightly different vaccines. Colds dont kill anyone who isn’t severely impaired, so the effort would be colossal for something that would have very little benefit.
We also dont need to eradicate all disease. Some exposure to pathogens is needed for the immune system to develop properly. Kids who grow up in very germ free environments are more prone to autoimmune issues like allergies, probably because the immune system needs something to do and turns on itself if it’s got nothing to fight. There’s work showing that parasitic infections might lower autoimmune incidence
So to eradicate colds might actually do more harm than good. We need vaccines to the stuff that does us damage - measles for example will wipe your immune memory and leave a child vulnerable to stuff they’ve already had and developed an immunity to. The deaths by all infections closely tracks behind Measles incidence, that’s how bad it is. Once measles has hit an area you get a wave of illness after.
So vaccines are for the serious stuff, and they’re largely great - as long as they’re developed and tested properly.

Considering how many people will get the vaccine once it's rolled out we're basically guaranteed to see someone getting Guillain-Barre within the first couple of weeks.
Which will then turn into BILL GATES IS TRYING TO KILL YOU so. Anyway look forward to that.

And remember, in America, if in the rare event a Vaccine does do you harm...The Pharmaceutical companies are indemnified against lawsuit.
There is no reason at all for them to spend money "DEVELOPING AND TESTING THEM PROPERLY."
I want to elbow every fucking subhuman who says the preppers turned out right about COVID in the teeth. No they weren't fucking right, /pol/ WAS NOT RIGHT ABOUT THIS, THE GOVERNMENTS JUST JOINED IN ON THEIR SCREECHING. Rate me MATI all you want, I'm so done with reality. Fuck this bullshit. Everyone who's pro-lockdown is subhuman.
