Five businesses have filed a lawsuit against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon, accusing them of violating constitutional rights by imposing a stay-at-home order to curb the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
Law firm Butzel Long filed the suit (pdf) at the U.S. District Court, Western District of Michigan—Southern Division, on Monday. It claims Whitmer’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order, recently extended through May 15 though in an amended form that loosened some restrictions, is based on unproven assumptions about how deadly the CCP virus really is.
