As I explained previously, Michigan's numbers did not begin to decline until after our governor started easing off on her restrictions. She said that she wouldn't ease up until the numbers declined, the numbers didn't decline, and she eased up anyway, probably because of the lawsuits that she still refuses to acknowledge. Of course correlation does not establish cause and effect, so I can't credit the easing of the restrictions, any more than you can credit the imposing of the restrictions, for the decline in numbers. They are still averaging a dozen or so deaths a day in the urban areas, while Cheboygan County has not had a new case in weeks or a death in months. One possible reason the virus may be spreading to rural areas in other states is that city people are fleeing to the country to escape the virus. Like a wise old philosopher once said, "People move to the country to get away from it all, and they end up bringing it all with them".

One reason I'm interested in the Seattle experiment is that it's not far off of my proposal to send only Black cops into Black neighborhoods. Let's face it, the White cops and the Black citizens just hate each other. They both probably have good reasons for this, and I expect we'll hear more about that in the coming months. Meanwhile, one way to induce a temporary cease fire would be to make them both sit in neutral corners for awhile. Another reason is that I'm still a libertarian at heart, just as Uncle Ken is a classical liberal at heart.
Speaking of Black lives mattering, according to the TV news, a sheriff in a Northern Michigan county, I didn't catch which one, is in hot water because he said something into a microphone that he thought was turned off. (When are these people going to learn that the gun is always loaded and the microphone is always on?) What he said was that abortion clinics have undoubtedly killed more Black people than cops and criminals. Probably true, but certainly not politically correct.
