Americans have ‘had enough’ of draconian restrictions

US governors like Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer are taking advantage of the coronavirus crisis to “see just how far they can push their own power agendas” according to Sky News host James Morrow. Michigan has the fourth largest number of COVID-19 cases in America and the third highest death toll, which prompted Governor Whitmer to enact strict policies. While some have been met with bipartisan approval, there has been considerable backlash to some of the strict social distancing measures, which include a ban on neighbours seeing each other demanding stores to close sections "dedicated to carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centres, plant nurseries, or paint." Mr Morrow said Americans are starting “to have enough” of these draconian measures. “Many of them are taking to the streets and the roads to protest,” he said. “In Michigan protestors swarmed the capitol demanding the state to open back up. “It’s not an unreasonable request given that over 20 million Americans are out of a job as a result of the shutdown.” Image: AP Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
