Tonight, thousands descending on Michigan's capital in Lansing to protest the governor's

current stay-at-home rules.

I truly believe that restrictions should have been put on the people that are sick, that are coming

down with the illness.

I truly believe that there are some people that are at a higher risk than others.

Us people that are at a lower risk, I feel like we should have continued out our lives and

continued working.

We'll never know the precise number of COVID-19 cases that come as a result of this gathering,

but we know that there will be some.

mean a group of people who get together and actually protest something but you had a bunch of

And it turns out upon closer examination that they did not necessarily go there on their own volition.

No.

That there was a lot of money.
