Whitmer said today that if we all do our part we can get back to normal by summer.
“I think it’s very possible that there is a path out of a lot of the orders that we’ve had to issue to keep people safe, but it all depends on getting to that 70% number,” Whitmer said, referring to the collective immunity the population has when that many people are vaccinated.
“...If we’re successful and people come in and do their part, we could very well be in that position this summer,” Whitmer said.
“We were able to really push our infection rate down so low for such a long period of time. Now that variants are present here, we have lots of people that don’t have antibodies because we were successful,” Whitmer said.
“We are seeing the spread continuing in teenage sports and frankly, it’s something that we’re very concerned about, and that’s why we’re doing even more testing and possibly going further than we have,” Whitmer said.
