DAY 48

Another day of protests in Lansing. Hundreds of people, some carrying weapons, protested once again at our state capital. These folks are unhappy with the fact that Governor Whitmer has extended the stay at home order. I understand that people want to be able to go to work and support their families. What I do not understand are the people who think that their right to get a haircut outweighs another persons right to avoid catching this deadly virus.

I have not taken Miss Nine into a grocery store. I feel like the sight of so many masked people and empty shelves would be too much for her. She does not watch the news, and I am glad because I don't want her to have to try and make sense of this kind of behavior. I hope that the things she remembers about this time in her life is the way that people sacrificed to protect the lives of those most vulnerable.

I am worried about this virus, but honestly, I am more frightened of these gun toting, Trump sign carrying, grammar and spelling challenged individuals and what they represent.
