“In the spring, we listened to public health experts, stomped the curve and saved thousands of lives together. Now, we must channel that same energy and join forces again to protect our families, frontline workers and small businesses,” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement.

As coronavirus cases spike in Michigan at an alarming rate, state officials announced a new emergency order sharply limiting indoor gatherings for three weeks.

Then a top Trump administration coronavirus adviser urged the state’s residents to “rise up” against such measures, prompting the governor to respond that she is “not going to be bullied.”

White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Scott Atlas tweeted Sunday, “The only way this stops is if people rise up. You get what you accept.”
