Cases are rising most among those 10 to 29 years old, comprising 35 percent of all cases last week, but they are far less likely to be hospitalized or die. 
With cases overall up over 60 percent in the last three weeks — an average of 847 daily cases to 1,362 — experts said the increase in senior vaccinations could avoid waves of death that have typically followed pikes. 
“You’re going to start to see a significant drop in hospitalizations and deaths even if you have an increase in cases,” Vail said.

Two counites -- Huron and Otsego -- are leading the way.

3/27/2020.  Here's the type of leadership our president with the emotional development of a 6 year old is demonstrating;

'We've had a big problem with the young — a woman governor,' Trump says of Whitmer.  (Detroit News, 3/26/2020)
She is a new governor, and it's not been pleasant," Trump told Sean Hannity. "We've had a big problem with the young — a woman governor. You know who I'm talking about — from Michigan. We don't like to see the complaints."

As you would expect, the president with the emotional development of a 6 year old, doubles down.  Think about what that means for all of us.





The good news is that Trump lost Michigan today.

First elected to public office when she was 29.
