"In an April 9 press conference, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer explained why playing golf or doing landscaping is not permitted under her statewide “stay at home” order, saying it puts “low income” people at risk.
“Golf, landscaping - and I've heard these seem to be the ones that we hear the most from the legislature, some of the Republican legislators - you know what, it's not critical infrastructure.
It's just not,” Whitmer said.
“They are not necessary to sustain life.
And to be candid, just by engaging in it can expose people to risk, serious risk.
Every time you ask a low income person to come out and fill up their gas tanks, go get food.
It's additional opportunity for exposure and for spread.
And that's what happens.”
