Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says progress is being made on curbing the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus after her office faced criticism about her state’s stay-at-home order.

“You know my stay-home order is one of the nation’s more conservative, but the fact of the matter is, it’s working. We are seeing the curve start to flatten. And that means we’re saving lives,” she told CNN on April 19.
