house concurrent resolution no.2
Reps. Glenn, Aiyash, Allor, Brabec, Breen, Brixie, Cherry, Garza, Haadsma, Hammoud, Kuppa, Lasinski, Liberati, Morse, Pohutsky, Rogers, Scott, Weiss, Witwer and Young offered the following concurrent resolution:
Whereas, The novel coronavirus, also commonly referred to as COVID-19, is a global pandemic that attacks the respiratory system and puts lives at risk. Far too many patients with the most severe complications have developed pneumonia or even perished because of COVID-19. Older adults and people with underlying health conditions have a greater risk of developing a serious illness and have experienced disproportionate loss; and
Whereas, There have been over 562,000 COVID-19 cases in Michigan since March 10, 2020, when the first presumptive positive cases were identified in our state; and
Whereas, There have been over 14,600 lives lost in Michigan because of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
Whereas, Many families have been unable to say goodbye to loved ones or mourn properly as a result of COVID-19. These precious lives lost are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews that were taken from their lives and their loved ones too soon; and
Whereas, There are still Michiganders fighting for their life while battling the effects of COVID-19; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the members of this legislative body recognize the victims lost to COVID-19 and express our most sincere condolences to the families that have lost loved ones to COVID-19. We take a moment of silence to mourn these victims.
