Dear Media: It's time to cover Michigan and Covid the same way you covered Florida and Covid

With winter fast approaching and more and more people headed indoors, there are warning signs of a coming Covid surge like what southern states experienced this summer.

For example, in Michigan:

#COVID update.

Largely the country is improving, deaths are dropping, etc.

But…there are warning signs. Like Michigan. pic.twitter.com/ZB6cmLc2CX

But it’s happening in other northern states as well:

In five states, new Covid-19 cases jumped more than 10% this past week compared to the previous week. Most of them are in colder states: Montana, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan and Vermont. https://t.co/oXigEz2GQo

Remind us again where we heard this would happen? Oh yeah. . .

“You’re gonna start to see winter and fall waves in the Northern states. We have a summer season.”

And speaking of Florida, when will the media start talking about Michigan the same way they did about the Sunshine State?

Michigan has a lower vaccination rate than Florida and COVID cases are surging there (nearly 10,000 yesterday). Still, it's almost radio silence.

And with Michigan trailing Florida in number of people vaccinated, they’ll totally blame Dem Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, right? RIGHT?

But remember! DeSantis NEVER talks about the vaccine because he doesn't tweet about it. Or something.
