Data on COVID from Michigan’s health systems demonstrates that 76 percent of total patients, 87 percent of ICU patients, and 88 percent of ventilator patients are unvaccinated. New cases are reportedly surging in the unvaccinated population, and residents are being told that the presence of virus variants such as Omicron makes it critical to get vaccinated and obtain booster doses when eligible.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has issued a public health advisory that everyone (including the vaccinated) should wear a mask in public indoor spaces, and the unvaccinated and immunocompromised should avoid large crowds.
