Coronavirus Update for Detroit on April 5th, 2021

The house is on fire.

Michigan reported 8,413 new Covid-19 cases on Saturday, bringing the state's total pandemic case count to 692,206.

There were 8,413 new Covid-19 cases on Saturday - we’re getting close to that big spike that we had around the holidays in November and December of 2020, and that’s not good news.

16,218 Michigan residents have died over the last 13 months from the Coronavirus.

Just because you're "over it" doesn't mean that Coronavirus will magically disappear.

We're all tired - we all want this to be over with.

But now is not the time for recklessness.

Be safe, be smart, mask up, keep your distance, and get the vaccine as soon as you can.

On the bright side, 31% of Michigan residents have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, and 19% are fully vaccinated.

I was on Daily Detroit with Jer Staes talking about Coronavirus and why cases are skyrocketing here in Metro Detroit.
