Stories like this escalate when frightened, emotional resident, like Kathy Kelly chime in.
She has the temerity to berate law enforcement agents, (public servant’s who’s jobs offers the highest threat of personal and family exposure), because she’s afraid. So, she willing to spew unsupportable statements like “Our hospitals can’t handle more people”.
Why? Likely because the sources of information in her cloistered Northern Michigan bunker include major news channels, MSNBC & CNN (the Covid News Network).
Here’s an idea Kathy … think for yourself and exercise a little of that gray matter, God gave you.
Calm down and check it out for yourself.

PS: My apologies Kathy, I’d assumed politics wasn’t part of your miscalculation, but after reading your COMMENT post, I’m not convinced.
Let’s dial it back and remember your law dogs swore an oath to protect & defend the Constitution, too. (From all threats, foreign AND DOMESTIC.) Let’s be fair. We both wouldn’t accept “I was only following orders” from German soldiers. Our health is not the only thing at risk.
