I've got family on Drummond island and there have been several tense encounters with propery owners looking to isolate from the populated areas. The nearest hospital is a ferry ride and 2 hours away.

i understand Interceptor not wanting people that might have the virus up there. but this virus isnt disappearing by this summer. are you really ok with the whole summer tourist season gone and almost every business up there gone and with it your job and/or lifes work destroyed? every golf course, resort, restaurant, tourist shop wont be there after this summer if this goes much longer. this doesnt have to be martial law Whitmer style or the Bubonic plague death numbers, i'm sure there is a way limit exposure wisely.

i believe about 60k people will die from opiod addition the year but no one seems to give a rats ass about them.

almost 40k people died in auto accidents last year, tomorrows news headline "whitmer lowers speed limit to 10 mph, lives saved"

Now that is brilliant. When was the last time someone passed those three diseases onto other people in a public setting ?

and her list of "essential" businesses is a joke. liquor stores? donut shops? pot shops? kayaks good/ motor boats bad?

this is what happens when you let a ****ing democrat into office, they want to rule every part of your life.

Recently you said you had the virus. How did you get it ? How did the person that passed it get it ? and on and on and on.

I agree with everything you said except " i'm sure there is a way limit exposure wisely."

Listing a liquor store and pot shops and often convenience stores as "Essential business" isn't a political joke from either party. Straight up the withdraw that would be otherwise incurred would create health issues plus complicate social problems by exponentially increasing domestic assaults and the runoff from that. Kayak single occupant, power boats I am assuming there has been enough issue from those not respecting the social distancing they cut out the privilege..... Donuts shops - beyond me
