Lansing, May 16 (RHC)-- In Michigan, lawmakers canceled a legislative session as protesters armed with assault rifles descended on the state Capitol in Lansing.  Michigan’s latest anti-lockdown protests came as the Detroit Metro Times reported Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer has faced dozens of death threats on social media sites urging people to flout social distancing orders. 

Meanwhile, Texas recorded 58 COVID-19 deaths and over 1,400 new infections.  It was Texas’s worst day yet during the pandemic.  The spike comes two weeks after Republican Governor Greg Abbott allowed shopping malls, restaurants and theaters to reopen.  Interestingly, the incubation period for the cononavirus is exactly 14 days.
