COVID-19 hospitalizations are increasing at an alarming rate in Michigan.
A The Trump-adoring Wayne County Republican, who has spread misinformation about COVID-19 and the vaccine, has been hospitalized in intensive care after contracting the virus. William Hartmann, a former vice-chair of the Wayne County Solicitors Council, has been on a ventilator since about November 6, according to his sister Elizabeth Hartmann. Two sources confirmed Metro timetable that Hartmann has been in intensive care since early November. In the months that followed, he criticized the vaccine and compared the government's COVID-19 efforts to Nazi Germany.
EThe Electric Forest music festival is planning to return. Next year's festival is scheduled for June 23-26, 2022 in Rothbury, Michigan, according to a post on its website last week. The electronic music and jam band festival was due to celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2020, but the festival has been delayed due to the pandemic. Next year's festival is billed as a celebration of "Decade One". According to the organizers, information on ticket sales and a full lineup is to come.
Facebook has placed restrictions and fact monitoring on a private Macomb County group that has been spreading false information and baseless conspiracy theories about COVID-19 – at a time when Michigan leads the country in news cases of COVID-19. Moms for Liberty Inc., a national group with locals, receives funding from Conservatives for Good Government, a right-wing political action committee in Florida, and groups linked to the Koch brothers. Under the new restrictions, posts will be reviewed by fact-checkers and people who spread misinformation will not be able to comment. If the lies continue, then Facebook can deactivate the page.
A A Highland Park man has been charged with the murder of beloved Detroit disc jockey John O'Leary. Sean William Lamoureux, 38, is accused of stabbing O'Leary to death in the house the two men shared in the 150 block of Candler Street. Police found O'Leary's body covered in black sheets on the back porch. The Wayne County District Attorney's Office charged Lamoureux with open murder and theft from a building. If found guilty, he faces life imprisonment. O'Leary, 68, spent four decades on Detroit rock radio, working at WWWW-FM, WLLZ-FM, WABX-FM and WCSX-FM, where he worked from 2002 to 2013 before devoting himself to the Voice off.
