Politicians are pushing for kids to go back to school because it will probably be fine for them. But what about the teachers? What about everyone these kids come in contact with? FFS if there's a sniffle from someone in a school building that my kids happen to be in, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be sick. It's complete nonsense.

How's Madagascar? Have they closed their port yet?
What about Greenland?!
So all of the Mayors are asking Gov. Ige to reconsider opening the islands for trans-Pacific travelers. https://www.civilbeat.org/2020/07/county-mayors-to-ige-were-not-ready-to-welcome-back-tourists/
Edit: It seems that the Director of the State Dept. of Health is also saying Aug 1 might not be a good idea.

Michigan's Governor continues to take no shit.
Since April, mask-wearing by citizens was required (via executive order), but many citizens choose to flagrantly ignore this mandate and continue to go about their business without any kind of face covering despite the signs posted at the entrance of just about every business mandating mask use as a condition of entry.
Well she's reached the end of her patience, and has now issued executive order 2020-147 that, as of this coming Mon July 13th, will require that businesses themselves actively refuse entry to people not wearing masks. From that order:
EDIT: I'm sure seeing signs like this figured into the decision.

A lot of businesses tried this but stopped when it became a physical threat to their workers. So it's going to be hard to enforce unless she's providing bouncers.

Pathologist found blood clots in ‘almost every organ’ during autopsies on COVID-19 patients
“What we saw at autopsy was sort of an extension of that,” Dr. Amy Rapkiewicz, the chairman of the department of pathology at NYU Langone Medical Center, said. “The clotting was not only in the large vessels but also in the smaller vessels. And this was dramatic, because though we might have expected it in the lungs, we found it in almost every organ that we looked at in our autopsy study,"

Can't charge people if there's no law, and this order means going maskless has now officially become a misdemeanor punishable with up to a $500 fine.
We had the same problem back when mandatory seat belt usage became a thing, even though the fines for that had a grace period where they started small before they rose to their current levels.
...so what you're really saying is... President Trump went on his medical vaycay because His Masklessness caught the novel coronavirus and then had some kind of COVID-related ischemic episode?

I'm talking about the liability of expecting their workers to physically stop people, not the requiring in and of itself.
According to the order, businesses which allow unmasked patrons may experience temporary or permanent recision of their business license. There are no provisions for hiring enforcement, so I suppose if they cannot refuse ingress, the best they would be able to do would be to refuse service--refuse to put in their order, refuse to ring out their purchases, that sort of thing.
UPDATE: The mask mandate applies to individuals immediately. It is the business portion which does not take effect until the 13th.

Police generally show up after someone has forced their way in, not before.
