Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 31, 2023
In the State of Michigan, there have been over 16,000 COVID-19 cases just this month. Nearly 200 people have died. Death and illness and viruses should not be politicized. In both Wayne and Oakland Counties, we are still seeing nearly 3,000 cases per week, so the pandemic is far from over. We have residents being hospitalized and families having to say good-bye to their loved ones because of this deadly virus. This pandemic is not over. The pandemic is still preventing people from going to work and school, disrupting everyday lives. By ending resources and policies that have surely saved lives, we are leaving our residents and communities to fend for themselves. They cannot do this alone. We must continue to provide resources to combat COVID-19 and the impacts of long COVID, from testing to treatment and care. We can continue to save lives together. Continuing to provide resources is not only the right and sensible thing to do, but it is the moral thing to do. Please, again, we must vote ``no'' on H.R. 382.
