I am not going into that discussion of Covaxin vs x or y or z. I am just supporting the idea of getting vaccinated to prevent the spread, and face whatever the variant it may change to.

If there are any real qualms about Covaxin, then that’s alarming. I thought all the due diligence was done prior to launch, and we haven’t heard any negative news so far right? So, hoping it's effective.

April 16, 2021, was a critical point in the COVID-19 pandemic for the state of Michigan.

In the week leading up to that important day, a debate raged over whether or not the state needed to be shut down once again. Medical officials said yes. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said no.

Meanwhile, the federal government denied the governor’s plea to send more vaccines to Michigan. Speaking of vaccines, one of the three approved versions had been taken off the tableto investigate a few rare blot clots around the nation.

Here’s everything that’s happened since the peak of this spike.

April 27: CDC softens mask mandate

The first in a series of mask mandate tweaks by the Centers For Disease Control and Preventioncame in late April, when it determined fully vaccinated people could go without masks outside, unless in a large crowd.

Previously, anyone who was going within six feet of others, even outside, was told to wear a mask, so was a significant update.

The adjusted order also allowed fully vaccinated workers to continue working after an exposure if they were asymptomatic. Quarantine rules were also relaxed.

April 29: State unveils vaccine-based reopening plan

The cases were still well above 3,000 per day when the state outlined four new vaccination thresholds that would trigger the easing of COVID restrictions.
When 55%, 60%, 65% and 70% of eligible Michiganders received at least one dose of the vaccine, certain rules would be lifted across the state, Whitmer announced.

At the time, her administration’s goal was still to get to 70% of Michiganders age 16 and up vaccinated. When that was achieved, MDHHS would lift the gatherings and face masks order entirely.

Only 48.8% of those residents had received a dose of the vaccine, however, so reaching that final threshold appeared an uphill battle from the start.

May 3: Half of Michiganders receive vaccine

Whitmer announced May 3 that the state had administered a total of 7 million COVID vaccines. Perhaps more importantly, 50% of people ages 16 and up had received at least one dose.

At the time, 38% of Michigan residents were fully vaccinated, and that number was still climbing at a reasonable rate.
 

May 10: Michigan hits first vaccine milestone

On Monday, May 10, Michigan reached its first -- and eventually, only -- threshold in the MI Vacc To Normal plan.

Whitmer announced 55% of Michiganders had received a dose of the COVID vaccine, meaning employees would be allowed to return to in-person work two weeks later, on May 24.

By the state’s estimation, this goal meant 4,453,304 people had received the vaccine.
