A Michigan court on Wednesday refused to block Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, ruling that the constitutional rights of the plaintiffs were not infringed but only subjected to “temporary harm” by measures meant to protect the public amid the pandemic.

Five businesses filed a lawsuit (pdf) against Whitmer and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon, accusing them of violating constitutional rights by lockdown measures imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
