Live: Michigan Gov. Whitmer Holds Coronavirus Briefing | NBC News

If hospitals are open, why are so many doctors and nurses being laid off?

[andreabergenham]

We'll do everything we can to support you, except pay you unemployment or allow you to go to work. Go enroll in some more government plans so you will be totally under our control.

[dylanpolkvids]

I’m sick of working for less a week than everyone is making on unemployment. I hope it pays off in the end because this sucks.

If you live in Michigan and are still waiting for Unemployment benefits and stimulus check from the Fed please hit the like button. Doing some research on this issue and your reply would be appreciated.

Who voted for this beast to become Governor?

[janetyoung]

There are nurses that have nothing to do also. Sitting in empty hospitals.

[RADIUMGLASS]

She can start paying for all of this with her salary.

[MikeJones-nviz]

Anytime you here “ stay home and let the government take care of you” RUN...they want your life!

[RADIUMGLASS]

So now bread will be $10.00 a loaf and the roads still look like sh**.

[jonbleshenski]

Her goal from the start was to attempt to make herself a VP canidate. If she expanded unemployment so much why are there so many people, including a few on this thread, that can't get it?

[RobertELee]

Why did we call it social distancing? Its PHYSICAL Socializing is fine as long as we stay 6 feet apart.

[randychristner]

We all know how moratoriums pan out 2 years from now we will have thousands and thousands of bank repos...we already played that game ...how easy we forget

[MattsRanger]

Not political ?! Who is she trying to fool?

[kimvanengen]

Construction doesn’t not need “more time” to get ready to open. They are ready now.

[bigg]

OK our servicemen were told to go fight and die for a country don't compare this to that!!!🤯🤬🙈🙉🙊

Anyone else notice the doctor coughs at 36:00 and makes no attempt to "cover her cough" like all the doctors and public service announcements have been screaming at us about for the last 7 weeks. She just lets it fly towards the reporters. No mask, no covered cough. The Governor walks right up to and by the signing lady. Neither of which have masks. The men without masks coming into close contact with everyone. Clearly not 6 feet apart. Do as I say not as I do? They cannot figure out how to stay 6 feet apart in a huge room in a planned speech situation. Maybe have 4 podiums 6 feet apart? Move the camera back or pan the camera to the active speaker. Wear a mask and take it off to speak? Have the signing ladies in another room but use a split screen to show them? Meanwhile I am an essential worker and actually have to and do wear a mask 10 hours a day 7 days a week only taking it off to eat. But they cannot be bothered to wear one for 45 minutes every few days?

[tiffanyrose]

These so stay at home orders that keep on getting extended its started to look like house arrest except without ankle monitors

[lgee]

[bigpaulie]
