Face masks recommended at all indoor gatherings amid COVID surge

November 19, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

Michigan health officials are recommending anyone above the age of 2 to wear a face mask while gathering indoors during the holiday season as the state battles the worst coronavirus spread in the nation.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced Friday that they will issue a face mask advisory for the holiday season as COVID-19 case and hospitalization numbers continue to rise across the state.

“The increases in case counts, percent positivity and hospitalizations have us very concerned,” said MDHHS director Elizabeth Hertel. “We are issuing the face mask advisory and are looking to Michiganders to do their part to help protect their friends, their families and their communities by wearing a mask in indoor settings and getting vaccinated for COVID-19 and flu as soon as possible if they have not already done so.”

Health officials are urging all people over the age of 2 years old to wear a face mask while gathering indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Businesses are also being encouraged to require face masks of all patrons and employees to help prevent the spread of COVID.

The health department’s latest mask advisory will “remain in effect until further notice,” officials wrote Friday.

MDHHS is also encouraging people to comply with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new COVID guidance for the 2021-2022 holiday season. The CDC is encouraging people to get vaccinated for COVID, wear masks at gatherings, gather outdoors when possible, social distance and avoid crowded spaces.

“COVID-19 cases are high as we head into the holidays, and we must take every measure we can to keep our families and loved ones safe – which starts with getting vaccinated,” said Michigan’s chief medical executive, Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian. “Safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines are available to children ages 5 and up, and boosters are available for eligible Michiganders. The holidays can be a time to spread great cheer and we recommend taking measures including wearing a mask indoors to not spread COVID-19 to loved ones.”

The announcement comes as the state of Michigan records the worst COVID-19 case numbers in the nation. Due to people moving indoors amid colder weather, relaxed COVID restrictions and a modest vaccination rate, Michigan has been experiencing yet another surge of virus spread over the last several months — and it has continued to worsen in recent weeks.

As of Thursday, the state was moved into a “severe” risk category by Covid Act Now due to another rise in its daily new cases. As of Nov. 18, the group says Michigan is reporting 84 new COVID cases every day per every 100,000 residents.

On Wednesday, Michigan reported 14,561 new cases of COVID-19 and 242 virus-related deaths, which is a daily average of 7,280.5 cases over a two-day period. Wednesday’s update brings the total number of confirmed COVID cases in Michigan to 1,224,273, including 23,104 deaths. These numbers are up from 1,209,712 cases and 22,862 deaths, as of Monday.

Michigan reports 4,448 new COVID cases, 51 deaths — average of 2,224 cases per day

September 3, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

DETROIT – Michigan reported 4,448 new cases of COVID-19 and 51 virus-related deaths Friday — an average of 2,224 cases over the past two days.

Friday’s update brings the total number of confirmed COVID cases in Michigan to 955,640, including 20,367 deaths. These numbers are up from 951,192 cases and 20,347 deaths, as of Wednesday.

NOTE: The state of Michigan reported 20,347 deaths on Wednesday, but when Friday’s update was posted, Wednesday’s number was decreased to 20,316. Therefore, the state announced Friday’s total of 20,367 deaths as an increase of 51, not 20.

The deaths announced Friday include 28 identified during a Vital Records review.

Testing has increased to around 20,000 diagnostic tests reported per day on average, with the 7-day positive rate at 9.44% as of Wednesday, slightly higher than the previous week. The positive test rate has been steadily climbing since the end of June, when it was at its lowest. Hospitalizations have increased by 231% since July 1.

Cases are rising again in Michigan. The state’s 7-day moving average for daily cases was 1,995 on Friday — a significant jump since the beginning of July. The 7-day death average was 25 on Friday. The state’s fatality rate is 2.1%. The state also reports “active cases,” which were listed at 54,000 on Friday.

Michigan has reported more than 9.6 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered as of Friday, with 66% of 16+ residents having received at least one dose while 57.4% of 12+ residents are considered fully vaccinated.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 39 million cases have been reported in the U.S., with more than 642,000 deaths reported from the virus. Globally, more than 5 billion vaccine doses have been administered, including more than 370 million doses in the U.S. alone.

Worldwide, more than 218 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 4.5 million have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. The true numbers are certainly much higher, because of limited testing, different ways nations count the dead and deliberate under-reporting by some governments.

New daily Michigan COVID-19 totals since July 30:

July 30 — 2,250 new cases (case count for three days)
Aug. 3 — 2,605 new cases (case count for four days)
Aug. 6 — 3,962 new cases (case count for three days)

3 days after severe weather, more than 140,000 Metro Detroit households remain without power

August 14, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

DETROIT – For tens of thousands of Metro Detroiters, it’s day three with no power after two rounds of serious storms.

DTE said about 145,000 customers are without power. There are 2,800 crews working.

Read: About 145,000 DTE Energy customers still without power in Metro Detroit

Local 4 crews have been all over Metro Detroit Saturday covering the outages.

DTE crews worked in Southfield, which is a huge area without power. There are several power lines down and Caution Tape in many back yards, as crews worked around the clock to restore power.

Residents in several Southfield neighborhoods were forced to use generators as a source of power.

Get Caught Up: Nearly a million Michigan households lose power — Why does this keep happening?

Owners at Pura Vida Jamaican and Caribbean in Pontiac said this has been a mess of a week.

“I’m standing right here and there’s no power and I’m throwing out all of my meat that I just bought Monday just to get ready for the ‘Dream Cruise’, said Ronnie and Geraldene Pinnock.

And they’re not alone, families in New Haven said they were struggling as well.

“Going three days without power is not a big deal for us, but going three days without power and water is a little different for us. It’s a different experience,” said Joel and Karen Warne.

3 dead, 2 critically injured at Faster Horses Music festival due to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning

July 18, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

WOODSTOCK TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Deputies are investigating what happened at the Faster Horses Festival after three men died inside the campground Saturday.

Original Story: Lenawee County Sheriff: 3 dead at Faster Horses due to potential carbon monoxide exposure

“Poor three guys had carbon monoxide inside their camping trailer,” said Connie McTaggart.

McTaggart said news about what happened at the Faster Horses Festival in Woodstock Township spread quickly around town.

“It’s just really sad, you know, that was somebody’s kids,” McTaggart said.

Lenawee County Sheriff Deputies told Local 4 they got the call at about 1:27 p.m. Saturday about five people found unresponsive at the campground, located near the corner of US-12 and Brooklyn Highway. When they arrived, they found five men inside the travel trailer. They started CPR treatment, but three died at the scene.

“It was mind-blowing because again, I have a 22-year-old. It’s like that’s how old these kids are,” McTaggart said. “It’s very devastating. I feel sad for the parents.”

Deputies said a friend called 911 after not hearing from the five.

Deputies said the incident is being investigated as a suspected carbon monoxide exposure from a generator. As for the other two victims, they’re in critical condition.

The incident is unrelated to the death of a woman at the festival Saturday morning.

Authorities are urging residents to remember to keep generators and exhaust fumes from running vehicles away from camping areas, tents, and travel trailers.

Protests held across Metro Detroit over vaccine mandate for Henry Ford hospital employees

July 17, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

DETROIT – Protests were held outside Henry Ford Health System hospitals Saturday by those who feel the new vaccine mandate crosses a line.

Read: Henry Ford Health System to require COVID vaccinations for all employees

The rallies for health care workers across Metro Detroit weren’t to celebrate the work in beating back coronavirus, but to push to likely further the spread by fighting the mandate that all Henry Ford Health System employees need to be fully vaccinated by Sept. 10.

While some of the protesters were front line workers, most of them were not and were protesting against the vaccine as a dangerous new COVID variant spreads.

Protests were held in Detroit, Clinton Township, West Bloomfield and Wyandotte.

The protest at Henry Ford’s flagship hospital in Detroit was attended by GOP candidate for governor, Ryan Kelley, who promoted the rally on social media.

Kelley was reported to the FBI for storming the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6 after activists claimed to identify him in photos from the deadly riot. Kelley denies entering the building.

The protests against the vaccine comes as the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention sounded the alarm about the highly-contagious delta variant that is now spreading in all 50 states, fueling a new uptick in cases — including here in Michigan, where the rate of fully vaccinated has stalled at 53%.

Henry Ford Health System released the following statement:

“We have received widespread support from our patients, team members and the community for our decision to require the COVID-19 vaccine for team members. At the same time, we acknowledge that uncertainty remains for some, and respect the rights of those members of our Henry Ford family, as well as those in our broader communities, to voice their concerns. The data and science continue to reinforce the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, including the mitigation of new and emerging threats like the Delta variant. As such, we know more than ever that vaccination is the absolute best way to end this pandemic and we remain confident in our decision. We are deeply committed to working alongside every team member who has concerns or questions.”

Bob Riney, President, Healthcare Operations and Chief Operating Officer, Henry Ford Health System

Only two Metro Detroit healthcare systems have mandated vaccines — Henry Ford and Trinity Healthcare. Other big names, like Beaumont and Michigan Medicine, have not said whether they will follow suit.

Nationally, the United States saw an average of more than 26,000 new COVID cases over the past week — a 67% increase from the week before.

Dozens show up to Ford Field without appointments hoping to receive vaccine

March 27, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

DETROIT – On Thursday, many no shows at the Ford Field mass vaccination site led to officials putting a call out that anyone who could get to the site by 6 p.m. would get vaccinated.

Dozens of people showed up Friday hoping the same thing would happen.

“I figured it’s worth a shot and if it doesn’t work out, no big deal,” said Rob Trexler.

Related: No shows at Ford Field Thursday leaves COVID-19 vaccines available for walk-ins

Trexler and his wife drove from New Hudson to wait and see, but not everybody was as laid back as him.

When police and Ford Field personnel told the crowd there were no leftovers, some gave officers a hard time and didn’t want to leave, which can be a problem as those waiting in line with no appointment can slow the process down for people with appointments.

People are advised to wait in their cars, or off to the side, and not in line if anyone wants to check whether there are extra vaccines due to no shows.

With rising COVID-19 cases, the Detroit Institute of Arts will remain closed to the public through April 2.

Additionally, the St. Clair County Health Department sent out a bulletin, recommending people to work from home, if at all possible, along with strict mitigation strategies for workers who cannot.

Here is a charted timeline of confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Michigan:

Here are Michigan COVID-19 cases broken down by gender (view here if you’re not seeing the table):

Person-to-person spread

The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Can someone spread the virus without being sick?

People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects

It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

How easily the virus spreads

How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (spread easily), like measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained, spreading continually without stopping.

Prevention & Treatment

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Wear a mask or face covering when in public.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
