State of Michigan bans boats with motors

So what? Really you are willing to give up your Constitutional Rights and liberties? Really? So for an example why is Sweden up and running, never shut down their country, yet Norway did as the USA and has many many more deaths and a shut down economy? Why is South Dakota doing better than any state, yet they never shut down.

Not sure where you're getting your facts, but according to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Sweden has had almost 15,000 cases and almost 1,600 dead, while Norway stands at 7,100 cases and 181 dead. Sweden is about twice the size (population) of Norway.

It`s very likely Covid19 doesn`t give a rat`s about "civil liberties and rights"(post 47 above).

The Constitution doesn't give a rat's about the science either.

As an American a Governor or mayor does not have the Constitutional authority to lock down its citizens. Americans are a compassionate people and were/are willing to make sacrifices. But enough is enough and you are now seeing Americans protesting and filing law suits over the lock down.

So one question before this thread is shutdown. Why are the number of deaths of this virus skewed?
