University Of Michigan Will Require Face Masks

U Of M just announced that they will require their students to revert back to face-covering by August 11 regardless of their current vaccination status.

This is a response to the rapid rise in recent covid-19 numbers and the surge of the new delta variant. And like most things, when the colleges start to develop a trend, everyone else tends to follow.

Now it's really starting to feel like we're creeping back into another lockdown, and I hope that we don't. If we can get back focused on wearing masks and getting vaccinated we should be able to mitigate the rise in covid cases. With Flint recently being listed as a "Substantial Risk" area for covid-19, we have to really be more proactive on getting more people vaccinated.
