To be fair to Whitmer, I'd probably want to leave a region where people want to kidnap and kill me.

I have been critical of people on both sides of the aisle (including Whitmer). She was doing good things early in the pandemic (against enormous opposition), but her leadership lately has been disappointing.

Nugent recruits a little younger than Marquette coaches tend to.

According to my very good friend, my deputy chief:    My department has 3 members who tested positive after receiving both vaccines.    One is symptomatic.   
There is a schism developing within my department about vaccines.    Some who have been vaccinated do not want to work with those who have chosen to not get vaccinated.    Some who have refused vaccinations are considering quitting because they do not like the peer pressure.   
Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with one of the post-vaccination positive test people.  He was off 35 out of 36 days.     This is a long story.

   An affluent suburb nearby felt their high school aged children were being deprived of necessary experiences.    After their school district cancelled the winter dance, several parents took it upon themselves to throw one anyway off campus.   This was late February.    10 days later, they had to put sports on hiatus and return to virtual learning as nearly half of the boys basketball team had tested positive for COVID.    But not before playing one of the private high schools.     Several dozen non-athletes also tested positive. 
    5 days after the private high school played the affluent suburb in basketball, they played the team that my co-worker's sons play for.    18, 16, 15 years old, two on the varsity, one on the JV.     Two days after this second game, the private high school had to suspend their season for 10 days, as half of the boys varsity and JV basketball teams tested positive. 
    7 days after that, all three of my co-worker's sons tested positive.   2 of the 3 were symptomatic.    Fever and lethargy for a few days.      A week after that, despite both being vaccinated, both my co-worker and his wife tested positive.     They were asymptomatic.     

In case you are still wondering why Michigan has such a high infection rate.      I actually went on spring break to get away from the outbreak.

For people mentioning positives after full vaccination. Are all of these people contracting 2 weeks after their second vaccine? Or are they going out and about after the first and contracting before they are technically fully vaccinated.

[tower912]

I don't know.   The gentleman I talked to had received his vaccinations in January and February, but I do not know if he was fully outside the two week window.

Got it. I've just seen enough Facebook posts of people saying they are vaccinated and ready to take on the world again and it is only their first shot or right after their second.

Plus, that would be an easier answer than a few made it past the vaccine.

If they were asymptomatic and vaccinated why did they even get a test?

[tower912]

It is required by our employer after having a family member test positive.    Even after vaccination.     

And THAT is what you took from that post?

Sorry the background regarding the inner workings of your firehouse and a nearby affluent neighborhood didn't really move the needle. 

But an employer requiring a Covid test after full vaccination tells me some will never let this go and grabbed my eye a little more.

It is nowhere near time to let it go.   And it is my recollection that you are a huge advocate for opening schools.  Which is one of the things driving the surge in Michigan

Absolutely a huge advocate for keeping schools open, safely (which aligns with what Papa Joe said and wants as well).  This is being done successfully all across the country, sorry that parts of Michigan are struggling with that and despite all the science suggesting it is safer and transmission lower in the school setting vs community if the recent surge is truly being driven by the school setting then they should probably go back to virtual.

Me thinks it's not the schools causing the problem.

Methinks indoor youth sports are a problem in Michigan.
