Freedom From Fear, CoronaVirus Edition

This is a copy of a Post I am developing on the Q-Tree.  I am also parking it on its own page here at Special Connections for ease of access.  Please feel free to click the Q-Tree link here & partake of the lively & informed discussion the original version of this post engendered.  God Bless Us all as we discern Light from Darkness & are set free from the fear than would seek to enslave us during these often unsettling times.

https://wqth.wordpress.com/2020/05/08/collaborating-to-calm-cv-craziness/

First of all let me say this post By Design is unfinished & a work in progress!

Second, as the newest author (I think) in the Wolf Pack I know that I don’t have the longevity, credibility, or the capability to request all of your help for this task.

Third, I’m asking for your help anyway, because if this is left up to me Alone it will likely never get done & it definitely won’t be as good.

Fourth, this is not an attempt to put a fresh spin on Daughn’s magnificent CV work, though many aspects of what might rise to the surface here may be found within those many daily & weekly efforts.

Background.  Thursday evening I overheard my husband’s Small Group from church’s weekly Bible study.  They were on something like FaceTime & I was in the room working on the computer nearby & not on screen.  Before they got into their discussion of the Book of Job there was A Lot of cross talk & upset over the latest in Governor/Dictator Gretchen Whitmer’s edicts, in specific an extending of the “shelter in place aka Stay Home Stay Safe” executive order from May 15 to May 28.  This was done even though the MI House & Senate have jointly sued Whitmer claiming she no longer has emergency powers since she didn’t receive legislative authorization or approval or concurrence to extend her original order.  In a sense MI is in its own form of constitutional crisis.

In the beginning of hearing Michael’s church-mates’ laments I assured him I wouldn’t say anything.  Then as things kept going on it became clear that a large portion of their sorrow & fear is because they have been misinformed & are really living in fear over the CV, not just the interruptions to their lives.  This level of fear & misinformation prompted me to write a list, which Michael & I discussed while he’d muted sound from him to the group.  Ultimately he decided & I agreed that I needed to get this info down in a written, condensed, & accessible way so that the link could be shared to help these group mates, & others, have their eyes potentially opened in a way that they might handle, to provide comfort, information, & possible tools for further action.

In support of this need, again last night, was my daughter’s sorrow that her boyfriend–today was their 14 month anniversary–is thinking that he might not be able to see her face-to-face possibly not until some time in July.  She said she’s begun to forget what he looks like & is filled with sorrows.  This situation is slightly different because this young man lives with his elderly father & is being very protective of his dad.  His dad is in his 70’s, a smoker, & in bad health, so the son has been unwilling to even meet face-to-face outside to walk or play soccer like has happened with our kids & several of their friends & family members.  This is a reminder that there still are vulnerable people who need to be protected, In a Reasonable Manner, without destroying our economy & our personal lives.

So, here is how I Hope this might go.  I’ll share my list developed of “crucial info” that came to mind for hubby’s group plus more.  Before posting I’ll hopefully 🙂 make an attempt to organize those bullet points into some type of order.  If supportive data is readily available to me I’ll add the ones that I think fit & where they Might make most sense.  I’ll keep the Michigan specific stuff at the bottom & separate.  If Key Items from other states pop up in the comments those can get re-added back to the post.

What I hope grows out of this is a template tool that we can All use by potentially refashioning it on our individual blogs, in state-specific focused ways, to make a targeted approach to red-pilling more of the regular people we know in a way that can provide them with comfort, accurate info, tools to resist tyranny, & something to adapt or pass on “as is” to people they think might benefit from this approach.

For ease of organization it would be great if this could ultimately be placed in a streamlined & logical outline format…we’ll see how things go.

I personally have Always been challenged by outlines.  I have a tendency to think that All info is crucial.  Because of this I Really Need Help from those who can clearly tell the Majors from the Minors.  Also I will not spend a large amount of time trying to re-work the (less than comprehensive) info I’ve shared into what’s crucial, etc. nor obsess about the outlining, such as it is.

051b9-john2b16.13

This is currently in no particular order, just how the thoughts came to me a couple of hours ago:  Formatting note, this is too messy of an “as is” presentation so I will try to bold My writing in the bullet point areas to set that off from links added.  It is my hope & plan to Re-Work the material into a more “polished” presentation before the post might be ready for dissemination beyond the Q-Tree…thanks for your patience & understanding of this process!

Executive Order 2020-04 – Declaration of State of Emergency

EXECUTIVE ORDER

 

No. 2020-4

 

Declaration of State of Emergency
 

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that can result in serious illness or death. It is caused by a new strain of coronavirus that had not been previously identified in humans and can easily spread from person to person.

 

COVID-19 has been identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan City in the Hubei Province of China. Person-to-person spread of the virus has occurred in the United States, with some of those occurring in people with no travel history and no known source of exposure. On January 31, 2020, the United States Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar declared a public health emergency for COVID-19, and affected state and local governments have also declared states of emergency.

 

 

The State of Michigan has been taking proactive steps to prevent and prepare for the spread of this disease. On February 3, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) activated the Community Health Emergency Coordination Center, and has been working diligently with local health departments, health systems, and medical providers throughout Michigan to make sure appropriate screening and preparations for COVID-19 are being made. On February 28, 2020, I activated the State Emergency Operations Center to maximize coordination with state, local and federal agencies, as well as private partners, and to help prevent the spread of the disease. On March 3, 2020, I created four task forces comprising key state government agencies to coordinate the state’s response and work closely with the appropriate community and non-governmental stakeholders to combat the spread of COVID-19 and assess the impact it may have on Michiganders’ day-to-day lives. And throughout this time, the State has been working with schools, businesses, medical providers, local health departments, and residents to make sure they have the information they need to prepare for potential cases.

 

On March 10, 2020, MDHHS identified the first two presumptive-positive cases of COVID-19 in Michigan.

 

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

 

 

 

The Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, as amended, MCL 30.403(4), provides that “[t]he governor shall, by executive order or proclamation, declare a state of emergency if he or she finds that an emergency has occurred or that the threat of an emergency exists.”

 

The Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945, 1945 PA 302, as amended, MCL 10.31(1), provides that “[d]uring times of great public crisis, disaster, rioting, catastrophe, or similar public emergency within the state, or reasonable apprehension of immediate danger of a public emergency of that kind, . . . the governor may proclaim a state of emergency and designate the area involved.”

 

Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:

 

  1. A state of emergency is declared across the State of Michigan.

 

  1. The Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division of the Department of State Police must coordinate and maximize all state efforts that may be activated to state service to assist local governments and officials and may call upon all state departments to utilize available resources to assist.

 

  1. The state of emergency is terminated when emergency conditions no longer exist and appropriate programs have been implemented to recover from any effects of the emergency conditions, consistent with the legal authorities upon which this declaration is based and any limits on duration imposed by those authorities.

 

Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of Michigan.

Here is a link to “all ” of Whitmer’s Executive Orders:

https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499_90705—,00.html

Executive Orders

  • What is an Executive Order?What is an Executive Order?The Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the state in the Governor. That power can be exercised formally by executive order. Executive orders may reorganize agencies within the executive branch of state government, reassign functions among executive branch agencies, create temporary agencies, establish an advisory body, commission, or task force, proclaim or end an emergency, or reduce expenditures authorized by appropriations. Once signed by the Governor, executive orders are filed with the Secretary of State, where the orders are sealed and retained by the Office of the Great Seal.

From that page there were 19 Executive Orders in 2019, numbered consecutively w/ links to each of them.  #s 1, 4, 11, 12, & 17 Were all Declaration of a State of Emergency Orders.

So far in 2020, as of (probably) 5-7-20, there are 77 Executive Orders listed.  Some are Not Shown, which really makes me wonder what they are trying to hide…hmmm.  Orders 2 & 3 for 2020 are not shown.  Orders #5-#13 are rescinded.  All the remaining orders, so far for 2020 are showing.  Here’s the ones that are shown as rescinded: 15-16, 18-21, 23-25, 29-30, 32, 35, 37, 40-43, 48, 57, 59-60, & Finally 70.  If that pattern of executive overreach & micromanagement isn’t apparent from these extreme numbers of executive orders then I am clearly misunderstanding what appears to be right in front of us!

Executive Order #1 for 2020 involves prescription drugs…I wonder if this is some type of stealth way to work around the HCQ access, as in Whitmer was In on the Plannedemic & putting in place structures to assist what was to come…pure speculation & I Have Not read this order in full…it’s here just FYI

Prescription Drug Task Force

 

Department of Health and Human Services

 

 

Over the past six years, the average price of drugs prescribed to treat diabetes, heart disease, depression, and other common conditions has more than doubled. These prices are set with little transparency but with tremendous consequence. Many of the problems Michiganders face in health care are the result of the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs – from plans that are too expensive, to deductibles that are too high, to vital medications too expensive for many people who need them.

 

No one should ever have to worry about choosing between filling a life-saving prescription or paying rent. But that worry is increasingly the reality. Michigan urgently needs solutions to this problem, and leaders must act quickly and cooperatively to find them.

 

The health and well-being of this state and its residents, communities, and businesses would benefit from a task force devoted to bringing transparency and affordability to the pricing of prescription drugs.

 

Section 51 of article 4 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 declares the public health and general welfare of the people of the State of Michigan as matters of primary public concern.

 

Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 places each principal department of state government under the supervision of the governor unless otherwise provided.

 

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

Likewise, this order from the end of 2019 dealing with “opioid abuse” may be a backdoor to control the HCQ access?  Just speculating here…

No. 2019-18

 

Department of Health and Human Services
 

Michigan Opioids Task Force
 

 

The epidemic of opioid abuse has plagued Michigan for years. While more recent response efforts have made some headway in combating this epidemic, it remains a full-blown public-health crisis, afflicting Michigan residents of all backgrounds, age groups, and income levels. Michigan remains among the states with the highest levels of both opioid prescriptions and opioid overdose deaths, and the abuse of these drugs continues to exact a heavy toll on this state’s families, communities, and resources.

 

Combating an epidemic of this size and impact requires a coordinated and comprehensive approach: one that identifies and confronts the full scope of the epidemic’s root causes and contributing factors in Michigan; that pools, optimizes, and augments the efforts and resources on all levels—public and private; local, state, and federal—that are available to address the epidemic; and that raises public awareness of the epidemic, its causes and effects, the resources available to those afflicted by it, and the actions that can be taken to combat it.

 

The health and well-being of this state and its residents would benefit from a task force devoted to developing and implementing such statewide response actions, and to bringing this crisis under full and lasting control.

 

Section 51 of article 4 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 declares the public health and general welfare of the people of the State of Michigan as matters of primary public concern.

 

 

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

This link leads to Michigan data, in which disclaimers are shown here:

Michigan has reported each day’s negative results since 3/10 but has never totaled them. We sum all the negative results and report the total. Michigan reports specimens tested instead of people tested. Recovered counts are updated once a week. On 4/26 we mistakenly entered the total number of tests in place of the total number of negative results: we are fixing this issue.

Some of the info on MI Executive orders will likely be better placed in a more Michigan focused post…

Another way to organize some of the info being presented would be Beginner, Intermediate, & Advanced, so as to not overwhelm people not ready for the degree of knowledge & insight that runs rampant in the Wolf Pack environs…

Well, that’s a rough start so now I’ll attempt to loosely prioritize what’s above:

Nope, my restructuring will not be as effective as throwing this raw meat before the Wolf Pack.  Let’s Hunt Together…if you please…
