Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Expands Mask Mandate to 2-Year-Olds
[Breitbart] Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) doubled down on her restrictive coronavirus strategy by requiring young children to wear masks.

Michigan Capitol Confidential reported the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), headed by Elizabeth Hertel, who just returned from an Alabama beach vacation, issued the order.

Children under the age of 5 had previously been exempt. But now, kids at camps and child care must be covered.

"A good faith effort is made to ensure that children aged 2 to 4 years wear a mask when participating in gatherings," the order said.

The mandate noted at this point, children under 2 are exempt. It expires May 25.

The order came days after Hertel arrived back from a spring break vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama and another top Whitmer aide, Tricia Foster, was found to have vacationed in Siesta Key, Florida.

Critics questioned whether there were different rules for top officials. Whitmer responded, "What directors do on their personal time is their business, so long as they are safe."

On Thursday, the governor appeared on MSNBC and blamed the Republican-controlled legislature and even former President Donald Trump himself for the situation.

#4 Not the Bee? You gotta be kidding me! I even clicked the link just to make sure.

Big Gretch is in trouble. What to do? The WuFlu is surging in Michigan even after (or maybe because of) a very strict state lockdown. The courts have said she has to play nice and cannot invent Magic Governor Powers on a whim. And even if she could, folks are getting a bit tired of it all.

Personally, I'd feel better about the whole mess if Gretch didn't look like the Lizard Queen in that TV miniseries "V".

#5 I remember caring for young children after they had cleft palate repair. Post-op care involved splinting their wee little elbows so they were unable to play with the facial dressings and facial surgical sites. Tykes looked very cute waddling around like mini-robots. Maybe this would work to keep them wearing masks.
