Hey, I'm Kelly McEvers and this is Embedded from npr.

This week in Michigan, the way some people are dealing with the coronavirus pandemic got

even more political.

Angry protesters stood in front of the state house and lancing and yelled, let us in.

Some of them were part of a far right militia, some were carrying semi-automatic rifles.

They were protesting the way Michigan's governor, Gretchen Whitmer, has handled the crisis.

She was about to extend a state of emergency.

Protesters said they were against the state of emergency and against stay at home orders.

They held signs like you're killing small business and tyrants get the rope.

One protestor told a reporter coronavirus is just like the flu, which isn't true.

Another made fun of social distancing rules.

How did they come up with this number of six feet?

I think they just pulled it out of their rear ends.

Maybe it's five.

Maybe it's three and a half.
